Chapter 1278: Empty glove white wolf again

These days, it can be said that thermal power directly accounts for 70% or even more than 90% of the power generation.

As for the rest of the market, it is basically occupied by hydropower, nuclear power, natural gas and biogas power generation, and solar energy, wind energy, and tidal energy are still in the laboratory state.

The easiest way to expand market share is to increase the effect of thermal power generation, which Li Changheng doesn't understand at all, and it can't be done in a short time.

But he knows that natural gas power generation will become the fastest-growing power generation project in Europe and the United States in the next 30 years.

At peak time in England, the use of natural gas to generate electricity reached 37% of the total electricity generation.

That's why he thought about winning the electricity and natural gas pipeline companies together.

Controlling these two companies is really tantamount to making money by lying on England.

Of course, things are not that easy.

But for Li Changheng, who has the foresight, what needs to be done is very simple, place an order with a company that can manufacture natural gas carriers, and then buy natural gas from the oil field in the Gulf of Mexico that belongs to Angela and Louis.

As for the natural gas in the Kanal oil field, it has been sold to the gas company in Hong Kong Island all these years

When the demand is not enough, buy from Cartel and Shater.

Although Cartel's land is small and pathetic, he is 100% the third in the world in terms of natural gas reserves, and at this time the oil in the oil field is relatively expensive, but natural gas is relatively cheap.

Even because of the cost and offshore mining technology, the cartel was once forced to give up mining and wait for the price of natural gas to rise and the technology to improve.

As for the transport ship, there is not much technical problem. France and the Netherlands have already started to build this kind of ship in the early 1970s, but at a price of 100 million or even 200 million US dollars, even the oil giant can only buy two ships a year. Three ships were built slowly.

But Li Changheng, who knows the future development trend, definitely dares to invest 1 billion US dollars to buy a ship, but he doesn't actually need to do so.

As long as he is willing to sign a large order, some countries are willing to sell him natural gas.

It will take about three to five years for the natural gas power plant to be built.

No price increase for 5 years is nothing more than price competition to grab the market.

Moreover, even if England understands that this is a price war, it is difficult to conclude that he is monopolizing and unfairly competing with any promises he made before he took over the England Electricity and Gas Company.

The reason is simple, ordinary people in England are eager to never raise prices, and Li Changheng likes to use the media to benefit himself.

Not to mention his control over the media has always been strong.

However, Li Changheng was able to use financial means to make up for losses from other fields when he was robbing the market at a loss.

Just like shorting the coal industry this time, Li Changheng has not yet made a fatal move. He only used 40 million pounds as the principal, and easily earned back 90 million pounds with 5 times leverage of 200 million pounds.

If it weren't for the worry that shorting oil would lead to investigations and the rejection and hatred of many oil giants, it would not be difficult to make back the five-year losses first.

Moreover, as long as the wind power project is willing to accept partners, after investing 100 million U.S. dollars, the latest news and results will be released within a year or two. It is very simple for the project to change from 300 million to 500 million.

That's why he said that not only did he not increase the price, but he dared to lower the price.

If it can really continue to annex the market share of its competitors, the market value of England Power will definitely rise against the trend while losing money.

This is also one of the reasons why Europe and the United States will hollow out their industries in just a few decades. In fact, doing finance not only makes money quickly, but also uses finance to attack opponents.

Of course, there are also many people who jumped off the building.

After Margaret learned what Li Changheng meant from Zhang Feng, she sat on the office chair and sighed. If Li Changheng is only from England, and most of the property is in England, there are many ways to restrict him.

But the problem now is that the United States is his base, and many people in the United States want him to cause trouble in England.

In order not to be so quiet and want to move, I ran back to the United States to grab everyone's business.

Moreover, Margaret also needs a large amount of foreign capital to activate England's market and promote privatization reforms.

Even the privatization reform has become the foundation of Margaret's foothold. Countless English capitalists are waiting to eat a large amount of state-owned assets whose prices have been depressed.

And after the market is active, it can increase the income of the government. Unfortunately, the benefits of ordinary English people are compressed, and even the benefits and jobs are gone at the same time.

Therefore, for politicians, knowing that it may be poisonous honey, they can only think in their hearts that when Li Changheng starts to get out of control, he may have already stepped down.

Besides, children understand the principle of the lesser harm between the two powers.

After Downing Street confirmed that Hong Kong Island belonged to Li Changheng's company executives, he contacted people from Tianchao Petroleum Company, and actually placed a letter of intent for US$100 million in crude oil.

Downing Street can no longer sit still.

Margaret called her cabinet members to discuss behind closed doors for two days, and finally compromised.

It is obvious that it cannot intervene, but Downing Street is willing to support the plan of many minority shareholders in England's electricity and gas pipeline companies to exchange their shares for the sales rights of handheld, NES, and arcade machines in England and five European countries.

For many shareholders whose shares do not exceed 1%, the dividend hovering between 3% and 7% every year and the company whose market value has only doubled in more than ten years, how can they easily earn tens or millions a year? Sterling business is promising.

Some people even got a report from a professional investigation agency that the arcade game store in the island nation recovered its cost within two years.

I have already thought about opening a restaurant when I go back.

If it works, not to mention England, the entire Western European capitalist countries are full of gold mines waiting to be developed.

Not to mention that Li Changheng also promised to sign a 5-year underwriting contract with the company formed by these people.

With this contract ~lightnovelpub.net~ the company formed by these people does not say whether they can invest in the development of new game consoles, the 5-year contract alone will allow this company to gain the favor of capital from the very beginning of its establishment .

Not to mention a ten-fold increase, two or three times is not difficult.

At the same time, this group of people also thought that when the time came to mortgage some of the company's shares, they would turn around and buy back less than 1% of the shares they had lost.

Therefore, Li Changheng can easily get the support of more than 27% and 31% shareholders of the two companies, even as long as he is willing to sign the contract now.

These shares belonged to him, and it was the empty-handed white wolf who didn't pay a dime.

After the news spread, some shareholders who had been vacillating before could not sit still.

After a simple calculation by the media, it can be concluded that this business is beneficial to everyone, and it can help England bring tens of millions of pounds in equivalent foreign exchange every year.

You'd be a fool if you didn't.
