Chapter 613 【Layout for the Privatization of John Bull】

  Invite Moon Manor.

  The British branch of the Wu family is happy to spend the weekend in the manor!

  Wu Guangyao and Kaila have three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Wu Xianlei, the second son Wu Xianyu, the eldest daughter Wu Qianxun, and the third son Wu Xianming;

  Wu Xianlei has been in the United States for fourteen years (including studying), and has married and established a business. He has two sons and owns Star Media and Disney. It can be said that he is a new chaebol in the United States!

  Wu Xianyu is also married and has a daughter. His wife is currently suspected for 6 months. This time he is a son; Wu Xianyu is currently an assistant to the chairman of the Metro Group and will be the helm of the future Metro Group!

  Wu Qianxun is 23 years old this year and talked about a boyfriend who is the heir of a well-known British family. Although Wu Guangyao doesn't care about this, it is very gratifying to find the right one!

  Wu Xianming is only 19 years old this year, probably because he is ranked fourth, Kaila's requirements are not as strict as his two brothers, which leads to some rebellion. Fortunately, Wu Guangyao and Kaila can live in town without losing control!

  This weekend, Wu Xianlei, who was far away in the United States, also took his wife and children on a private jet and returned to London to reunite with his family.

  After the weekend, Wu Guangyao called Wu Xianlei to the study;

   "Since we have bet on Reagan, we need to consider what he can do for us after he is elected! What do you think he can do for us?" Wu Guangyao testified.

  Wu Xianlei had a secret case in his mind, and said without hesitation: "Acquisition ABC!"

"Yes, if you don’t have a'media tycoon' on your own TV station, is that still a'media tycoon'? The reason why you invest in Reagan is mainly because you are too young, but you have enough influence in the United States; so there must be no Few enemies hiding in the dark will hinder your growth."

  As Wu Xianlei moves more and more, it will inevitably cause interference with the domestic power of the United States;

  But if there is a president as the backing, then the pressure will be reduced a lot.

  Wu Xianlei has accumulated a lot of political contacts in the United States over the years. What is lacking to become a true chaebol in the United States is time, and when Reagan comes to power, it can give Wu Xianlei ten years to grow up!

   "What my father said! But the acquisition of ABC is estimated to cost US$2 billion to US$2.5 billion, and I want to raise funds to help my mother pay off some loans; therefore, there is a lot of financial pressure!" Wu Xianlei worried.

  Wu Xianlei knew that his father’s money was basically invested, and he couldn’t get such a huge amount of money;

  Plus, the money in the hands of the father must be approved by the aunt to spend such a huge amount of money.

Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said: "Just take care of your own business, and I will handle the loan from your mother! Now the price of gold has risen to US$280 per ounce. According to my analysis, it will skyrocket until the end of the year. I can come up with tens of billions of dollars in cash flow. So, after you go back this time, you still have to study carefully how to win the ABC!"

  Hearing his father say tens of billions of dollars, Wu Xianlei almost exclaimed!

After calming down, Wu Xianlei said calmly: "Well, I will be ready!"

Historically, in March 1985, Metropolitan Communications acquired ABC for 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, and the company was changed to Metropolitan American Broadcasting Corporation, but generally still used the original name; in 1995, the media empire in its heyday, Disney’s intervention, cost 19 billion. The sky-high price of US dollars bought the ABC TV station.

  So, the earlier the acquisition, the more money can be saved!

  At this time, Wu Xianlei holds Disney and Star Media. The assets of the two companies are at least US$3 billion, and the loan is only US$1 billion. He is fully capable of using the loan to acquire ABC;

  What's more, Disney is about to go public, and it is expected that the market value will reach more than 3 billion US dollars by then, and it will be able to raise funds by then!

   "I have 2 points to remind you, I hope you will remember them!" Wu Guangyao thought for a while and said, really worrying about his son, not because he is not worried about his lack of ability, but because he is worried that he has made a detour!

  Wu Xianlei quickly said seriously: "Father, please say, I will remember your words!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "First, never consider France when choosing a location for Disneyland. France itself is a popular tourist attraction. Few tourists go to Disneyland for a day; and French people are proud and unwilling to American culture. Invade their homeland."

  Wu Guangyao finished the first article, and Wu Xianlei felt a little bit in his heart. In the past two years, some people in the company have indeed proposed to build Disney in Europe, and the proposed location is in Paris;

  After all, there is such a rich boss, and these managements also want to spend money to grow the company.

  Wu Xianlei nodded quickly, expressing strict implementation of his father's opinion!

"Second, after ABC gets it, the first task is to make up for the speed of response in the news. It must be at the same starting line as CBS, NBC and other companies; next is a TV show I thought of. This program is very simple, called " "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", the program rules are extremely simple, as long as you answer 15 questions in a row, you can win a £1 million prize."

  Wu Xianlei listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word!

  "Father, you are really a genius! I'm sure that with the two tricks you taught, I have more confidence in ABC's operation!"

  Wu Guangyao nodded, these are all the experience of later generations, although I only said the general, but its effect is already very huge!

   "Okay! Go to bed!"

  It's too early to see the time, Wu Guangyao asked Wu Xianlei to accompany his wife and children!

  Wu Xianlei came to Wu Guangyao's desk. Wu Guangyao knew what he meant, and got up to hug his son!

   "Father, I won't let you down!"

   "Well, go! Don't disappoint your wife and son, you are almost 30 years old!"

  Wu Xianlei’s wife, Kelly, is a good daughter-in-law, who respects Wu Guangyao very much and is very family-oriented;

   Therefore, Wu Guangyao often instills in his son to run his own family well!

  Monday, Metro Building.

  The London branch of the Wu family formally established the acquisition team, some of which were transferred from the ‘Guangyao Family Office’ and some from the Metro Group. Kayla Law Firm also took on the legal and accounting tasks of this time;

  In addition to the acquisition team, Lloyds Bank was also selected as the acquisition consultant.

  After the formation of the team, it did not immediately issue a takeover offer, but began to establish a car company and search for a management team for the car company;

  According to Wu Guangyao’s vision, this established automobile company is equivalent to a head office, not an automobile alliance company;

  If it is an automobile alliance, the voice of the Wu family in the UK will be weakened, and this alliance will not change the status quo of the British automobile industry;

  There are lessons from past lives:

  In the 1960s, the British government came forward to promote MG, Rover, Jaguar, Triumph, MINI, Land Rover and other automobile companies to form an alliance "British Leyland". The company covers cars, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, sports cars, SUVs, special vehicles and other businesses, and about 35 brands, but Leyland was later called the last glory of British cars.

  But the huge scale also makes the management too complicated. 35 brands all think that they are the boss of the subdivision models, and no one accepts them;

  Under the intensification of internal conflicts, Leland was on the verge of bankruptcy, and was acquired and nationalized by the British government in 1975;

After the nationalization, the British government provided Leyland with a lot of policy and financial support, but due to its own bad internal environment, this behemoth still failed to achieve profitability.

  In the mid to late 1980s, the British government finally privatized Leland, and many sub-brands were sold out.

  So, the Wu family will never want any alliance company, but a real head office that manages British car brands!

  The automotive industry technology in the UK has no problems, and it can even be said to be very good;

  It can be seen from the fact that the world's auto brands have come to the UK to open branches and R&D centers, and it can be seen that these auto companies have come to the UK to learn from their teachers;

  Even in the 21st century, the British automobile industry is still quite strong;

The   car brand is sold, but the UK is still an important production place and R&D center for auto parts in the world.

  Thatcher has been in power for two months, and the ruling plan has basically been worked out;

  After receiving Kayla’s appointment, Thatcher immediately arranged a meeting.

  Because the meeting was in Downing Street, both of them were very formal, and both sides had escorts.

  After a greeting, the two parties sit down and have a formal conversation;

   "Prime Minister Thatcher, as far as I know, the current government intends to fully develop the financial industry and has carried out a de-substantial industrial operation."

  Kayla's blunt words surprised Thatcher a bit!

  I also felt that this ‘good sister’ was well-known in the UK much earlier than him. When he was the spokesperson of the Conservative Party, he was already the richest woman in the UK, and the pride of the UK who took the British retail industry over the world!

  At that time, I might not have been jealous of her, but also bred my goal of striving to become a politically strong woman!

  Now that I have become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, I can finally crush her!

   "Ms. Kayla, what you said is too general. The government policy is a complicated issue!" Thatcher would naturally not dig his heart out and sold the government!

Kayla smiled and said: "Perhaps, but the general policy should be like this! I came to the Prime Minister this time to take the responsibility of reviving the British automobile industry and hope to obtain the support of the government! This is a plan of mine. Hope to get the guidance of the Prime Minister!"

  Kayla handed over a piece of information that was not thick, and she was confident in her eyes!

  My own man has clearly grasped the way his good sister is in power, and then prescribes the right medicine. The British government is definitely willing to see it take over the mess in the automotive field.

   Hearing that Kayla was interested in the automotive sector, Thatcher felt a little embarrassed;

  If good sisters are interested in petroleum, electric power, steel and other fields, they can provide some help;

  But in the automotive field, I have some worries, the man behind the good sisters!

  Thatcher accepted the plan blankly. Although worried, she was also curious about what the plan looked like. Kayla actually dared to say that it would revive the British automotive industry.

  This look is out of control, I am completely immersed in the plan!

  The total investment is not less than 2 billion U.S. dollars.

  While maintaining the high-end automotive market, some brands will sink into the low-end market; for example, Land Rover, Jaguar, MINI

  Land Rover focuses on the field of off-road vehicles, Jaguar focuses on the field of bridge cars, station wagons, and sports cars, and MINI focuses on the fields of mini cars and women’s cars

  Market channel expansion plan.

  Finally promise: the new car company will never move out of the UK, regard the UK as its base camp and headquarters, and increase a large number of British jobs.

  Thatcher read the entire plan and said: "It seems that you have worked hard and sincerely like to develop the British automobile industry!"

  Kayla nodded seriously, and said: "This is another challenge for me, I have done it!"

  Finally, even though Thatcher did not make a statement, Keira knew that the new prime minister had already moved!

  I am afraid that no leader of a country will not be impressed. In a declining field, there is actually a large investment by the capitalists of the country;

  The most important thing is that there is a plan that seems perfect!

Kayla knew that, according to her own man’s words, during Thatcher’s reign, the United Kingdom will fully develop the financial industry and carry out de-substantial industrial operations; and the auto industry, as the real economy’s great winner, will be recognized by the United Kingdom this time. The government regards it as a burden. Without the involvement of the Wu family, the entire British car brand will be ruined!

  As an Englishman, Kayla is undoubtedly unwilling to see this phenomenon!

And his own man has planned a path for himself: first take the Rolls-Royce company, so that he has two car brands-Rolls-Royce and Bentley; and then start with the Leyland Auto Union, as much as possible It won the auto companies such as MG, Rover, Jaguar, Triumph, MINI, Land Rover, etc. The last is to buy shares or alliance auto parts companies, not limited to the United Kingdom, for example, Magna in Canada.

  Such a large investment, Kayla is also a little worried about the problem of funds, Wu Guangyao only said indifferently: "I can put out 5 billion U.S. dollars to play for you!"

  After finishing speaking, Kayla held Wu Guangyao's arm tightly and asked how much gold/oil would make this time;

  Wu Guangyao stretched out five fingers, so that Kayla almost didn't bite her tongue!

  50 billion US dollars!

   is so crazy!

  Back home, Wu Guangyao asked Kayla for details;

   "I think she must have agreed and will help me in this regard!" Kayla said confidently.

Wu Guangyao nodded and said: "If you disagree, it also shows that this Prime Minister is not the blessing of you British people. In fact, even if I myself come to buy the British automobile industry, it will be beneficial to the United Kingdom; you know, the current world The automobile market in China is basically monopolized by Japan, Germany, and the United States. How much interest do you British have in this regard!"

  Kayla nodded, obviously endorsing this point of view!

  To put it simply, referring to Lenovo Group, the world’s business community generally believes that Japan does not know how much light it has accounted for in recent years;

  Because they are not traversing people, I don’t know that these are originally the brilliance of Japan, but think that it is the brilliance that Lenovo Group has brought to Japan!

  The outside world generally believes that the overall decline of American electrical appliances is related to the ‘ten-day meeting’ led by Lenovo that year;

  In addition, Lenovo Group does have too many modern products, which makes countries envy!

   “I think it’s okay for the family office to take a 30% stake in the new company!” Kayla said.

  Although I really want to get all the shares, I can buy more property for my four children;

  But Kayla also knows that only when she contributes to this big family can she satisfy her man!

   "Well, just do what you said!" Wu Guangyao said with satisfaction.

  This time Wu Guangyao intends to give Kayla $3 billion in funds for him to seize shares in the privatization of the United Kingdom;

  Of course, I also hope that ‘Guangyao Family Office’ can also acquire some shares to increase the foundation of the family office.

  Next, Wu Guangyao instructed Kayla specifically to grab shares in those fields, such as telecommunications, electric power, radio, BP

  It doesn’t need too much, just 3% of the shares in each field will do!

   "There is a company that you need to increase the acquired shares, that is, the Great East Telegraph Bureau! This company is related to my telecommunications layout in Hong Kong, so you can increase your influence as much as possible!"

"Yep!"
