Chapter 612 [Opportunity in the automotive field! 】

  In June, Wu Guangyao took a special plane to London.

  Thatcher was elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in May, so the resources and money invested by the Wu family are about to start to reap!

  Wu Guangyao has taken a fancy to two fields in the UK, the first is the petroleum field, and the second is the automotive field;

  Petroleum sector, is to get the shares of BP Petroleum Company, and at least 5% of the shares, and even consider taking a 10% of the shares;

  Wu Guangyao believes that this is not difficult. First of all, the Wu family has a mining right of nearly 250 million tons of oil in the North Sea oil field in the United Kingdom, accounting for 8% to 10% of the entire North Sea oil field in the United Kingdom;

  In recent years, as the price of oil has soared, the United Kingdom has increased the mining tax to 70% in order to prevent foreign investors from earning too much;

  Even if it is increased to 70%, it cannot stop the huge profits generated by the skyrocketing oil price;

  Furthermore, Wu Guangyao knows that the highest record of mining tax is 80% next year;

  However, due to protests from foreign investors, the British government worried about driving away investors and affecting economic development, so the follow-up slowly returned to about 60%.

  So, anyway, Wu Guangyao has so many oil resources in his hands, it is a very good condition to become a shareholder of BP.

  The second advantage is that the Wu family is the biggest supporter of Thatcher’s campaign. They shouted for the Conservative Party in the media and donated a large amount of campaign funds. These are very favorable conditions;

  The third one is the personal relationship between Keira and Thatcher. It can be said that they are sisters. They have been good for more than ten years, and they are still an alumnus!

  Of course, politicians are basically not emotional;

  If it is a Chinese who wants to use BP's idea, it is definitely impossible. After all, public opinion can prevent the government from passing;

  But the Wu family is different. There are branches in the UK, and they are also native British whites (mixed races).

  So, there is no need to consider political factors at all!

  The second field Wu Guangyao fancyed is the automotive field!

  Since entering the 1970s, the British economy has been declining, especially after the first world oil crisis, and the world economy has also fallen into a period of depression.

Especially in December 1976, John Bull, who had always been so arrogant and helpless, lowered his bull's head and borrowed a loan of £2.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund, but at the cost of asking the UK to carry out a series of economic reforms. .

  Affected by the overall economic environment, the British manufacturing industry and service industry are all in a dilemma.

   Therefore, the Labor Party failed in the general election because of economic problems;

  And Thatcher competed with the slogan of ‘privatization’ and won the voters’ votes.

  And Wu Guangyao wanted to take down Rolls-Royce in the name of Kayla and his son Wu Xianyu, and then gradually annex other British automobile companies, such as Lotus Motors, Leland Motors, Jaguar, and Land Rover.

  Integrating the automobile brands and industries of the entire UK, and then taking out later marketing strategies, appearance designs, etc., may not be able to compete with Japan and Germany in the future.

  Speaking of this, we have to mention Rolls-Royce.

  The English name of Rolls-Royce is Rolls-Royce. This word can be translated into two meanings. The first is Rolls-Royce, a symbol of the automotive industry.

  And the second translation is equally famous, it is Rolls-Royce, the renowned Rolls-Royce company.

  Rolls-Royce is a well-known British aero engine company and the largest aero engine company in Europe. The various aero engines it develops are widely used in civil and military aircraft around the world.

  Rolls-Royce is the world’s second largest civil engine company, the world’s second largest military engine company, and one of the world’s three largest aero engine manufacturers.

  Not only that, Rolls-Royce is also involved in the British defense, shipbuilding, and energy fields, and they all occupy an important position.

  The automotive sector is just one of them.

  Naturally, the Wu family just acquired the automotive sector and promised not to bring the brand out of the UK and increase capital investment;

  In this way, Thatcher will not worry about Wu Guangyao!

  Bentley is the only brand of Rolls-Royce Motor Company besides the Rolls-Royce brand.

  Walter Irving Bentley founded the Bentley Motor Company in 1919. Because of his pursuit of speed, Bentley embarked on the professional design of high-end sports cars and racing cars.

  "To build a fast car, a good car, the most outstanding car in its class." It was the founder Walter Irving Bentley's original pursuit of the ultimate and excellent car-making concept.

  The period from 1919 to 1929 was the most glorious period of Walter Irving Bentley, and it was also the period of Bentley's reputation. He almost won every famous Le Mans 24 Hours of Endurance Championship.

  Even Bentley still has the image of a "royal athlete" in the car world because of its own luxury and speed.

Unfortunately, in 1931, the poorly managed Bentley Motors Company was subordinated to Rolls-Royce at a price of 125,000 pounds. The car production line and engine R&D center were moved to Crewe, England, and they lost themselves completely and became Rolls-Royce. Rice's rebranded products and market supplement.

  However, Bentley has been under Rolls-Royce for so many years, and Rolls-Royce has indeed tried its best. After decades of shaping, the concept of Bentley's luxury car has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

  The idea that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is the most difficult to shape. This requires years of accumulation, which is completely the foundation.

  How many auto giants in the future generations of China Mainland want to build China's luxury cars with huge sums of money, but unfortunately they have not succeeded. This shows that the difficulty is that the brand is the most difficult to build. It is not possible to have money, and it takes time to settle.

  The Wu family is about to reap a huge sum of money, which is worth 40 to 50 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply an enemy of wealth;

  This fund is mainly composed of two parts, one is gold futures/spot income, and the other is oil futures income;

What is the concept of owning 50 billion US dollars in this era? It is said that in 1978, the world’s wealthiest family had only 350 billion US dollars of funds; the important thing is that this money does not belong to this family completely, a large part of it is investors , Partners’ money only.

  And the value of the entire British automobile industry is only a few dollars, I am afraid that 2 billion US dollars can be packaged!

  In the previous life, in the 1990s, Rolls-Royce only sold 700 million U.S. dollars. The initial offer was only 500 million U.S. dollars. Rolls-Royce agreed. However, the public later inserted the matter and increased the offer to 700 million U.S. dollars.

  As for whether it can develop after the acquisition, Wu Guangyao is not worried;

  According to history, many British car brands are representatives of luxury cars in the world, such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover, etc.;

  With so many well-known car brands, who dares to say that British cars are weak!

  You should know that the British automotive field can be said to have dominated the automotive field for more than half a century!
