Chapter 2055: Massive Attack 11
In fact, Bao Zixuan had no choice but to make drastic reforms; it would easily arouse resentment. At this moment, all the British are looking at him, and no one can get even the slightest clue! Rolls-Royce is too important and the British must feel that control is still in their hands.
To boil a frog in warm water, many things cannot be done too hastily.
As for other Hong Kong rich people, they will certainly not be idle; no one wants to miss this once-in-a-century opportunity! After all, you are here with Bao Zixuan, and you still have to listen to his opinions many times; it is an added insurance, and no one will doubt the vision of Bao Zixuan!
As a staunch supporter of Bao Zixuan, Guo Desheng was also the entrepreneur who made the most profits. He came to the UK with him and wanted to acquire those companies. Naturally, he wanted Bao Zixuan's opinion.
Although I have made a decision, I still want to add some insurance!
Bao Zixuan still respects Guo Desheng very much; at the same time, he also recognizes that the other party is his important ally and a strategic partner. Therefore, there are not many scruples between the two parties, and there is no need to test each other; almost anything can be said directly.
Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Guo Sheng, if you have any favorite company, you don't need to consider the financial aspect; Black Cloud Bank will definitely support it!"
If you want to maintain a long-term and stable relationship, cooperation is essential; mutual benefit, otherwise favors alone will not last long!
The Guo family seldom borrows money when doing business. In fact, it is not just the Guo family; many Xiangjiang businessmen are like this. On the one hand, I am not short of money, but at the same time, I am also considering the cost of capital!
There is also the fact that Hong Kong Bank was basically in the hands of the British before, and they had the final say in large-scale loans; if there was even the slightest dissatisfaction, the final result would not be very good; there was a lot of work to pull out the bottom of the cauldron.
Businesses and families that should have developed well were bankrupt because the British took out loans in advance. We have to guard against many things, and the bloody experiences and lessons are vivid in our minds!
Over the years, especially after developing in the mainland, the Guo family's assets have become extremely huge. Guo Desheng doesn't like ordinary real estate and businesses at all; it must be a big step forward for the family.
So there are only a few top-ranked companies in the UK, and the financial pressure is really big!
Bao Zixuan's meaning is very obvious, that is, he clearly tells the other party not to have any scruples; he will fully support him from behind!
Guo Desheng thought for a while and said: "Sheng Bao, how old are you? It would be more appropriate to say that we have been together for the past year."
"In recent years, my energy has been far less than before, and the family business has basically been handed over to the children!"
"As everyone knows, I have three sons; the eldest is in charge of business in Hong Kong, and the second is in charge of investments in mainland China. I want the third to go abroad, what do you think!"
All eggs will not be put in the same basket, the bigger the business gets; the more so! Even if there are changes or unexpected losses in one of the places, companies in other areas can provide support as soon as possible.
Even if it is irreversible, the family still retains a fire; the wealth can continue forever.
It can be said that Guo Desheng's plan is very advanced, and he would be the same!
What’s more, the family will become more stable, with everyone responsible for one piece; there will be no intrigue and internal strife, and the relationship between brothers will become better!
Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said very seriously: "Guo Sheng's arrangement is very reasonable. Originally, having more children is a good thing; but everyone has their own abilities, which is also a helplessness!"
The drama between several young masters of the Guo family fighting for family property in the previous life is still vivid in my mind. As a friend, I really don’t want to see this happen.
If everything can be arranged in advance, I believe that the person in front of me can rest in peace when he gets down there.
Who is Bao Zixuan? He will never make a mistake, and his attitude is so serious at this moment. Guo Desheng instantly understood what was going on. It seems that many plans must be made in advance. It is hard to say how long the body can last.
He must have heard some rumors, and every child wants to prove himself; but it really can't be called a bad thing!
Guo Desheng said with a smile: "Sheng Bao still sees things thoroughly. If I had met you earlier, I believe the Guo family would be much more than that!"
Many words do not need to be said too directly, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings; grasping the scale is very important!
Seeing that the time was almost there, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Guo Sheng is planning to acquire that company. I can help you analyze it!"
It's better to be more direct between friends, so as to save the other party from embarrassment. After all, despite his age, Guo Desheng always had the courage to ask young people younger than his own son for advice; he definitely felt uncomfortable in his heart!
Now that Bao Zixuan has taken the initiative, the matter is a different matter; the two sides are more discussing, and there is no need to ask for advice!
Guo Desheng said directly: "There are several options at present, please help me give some advice!"
Bao Shaofu did not speak, but gave him a continue gesture.
Guo Desheng thought for a moment and then said: "Vodafone, Unilever, and Glaxo Wellcome."
Hearing these three names, Bao Zixuan thought that Guo Desheng's ambition was really quite big. Not to mention that they are all extremely large companies, and their future development prospects are even more limitless.
However, it also reflects from the side the strong financial resources of the Guo family. If you don’t have money, don’t even propose to acquire the above three companies; you probably wouldn’t even dare to think about it.
The main source of acquisition funds must be self-owned funds; all of them rely on bank loans, and the pressure will be extremely huge. If one operation is not done well, you will fall into an irreversible situation in an instant!
It seems that the Guo family has indeed made a lot of money in recent years; otherwise Guo Desheng would not have such confidence.
You should know that the three companies are not simple roles; acquisitions require huge funds!
Vodafone's predecessor was a department of the British Racal Electronics Company specializing in mobile phones. It was not established as Vodafone Telecommunications in 1985. This company that develops high-quality high-tech products has developed into the second largest telecommunications company in the UK with a market value second only to British Telecom in less than ten years; it has currently carried out telecommunications business in ten countries and regions.
In 1982, when the company was first established, the company had less than 50 employees. The then chairman Racal Radio firmly believed that the company's strategy in the British mobile telecommunications market would be successful, and he formulated a successful development strategy.
With the help of the Internet and the rapid popularization of mobile phones, Vodafone has developed very rapidly, and its current market value exceeds 3 billion pounds.
1er signed an agreement with the Dutch Margarine Unie to form Unilever. After more than 60 years of development, Unilever has become one of the world's largest daily consumer goods companies, with more than 100,000 employees in 100 countries and regions around the world.
Glaxo Wellcome is a pharmaceutical group company based on research and development. It strives to fight against diseases by providing new and high-quality medicines and services to patients and medical institutions around the world.
Glaxo and Wellcome were both founded in the 1880s and just merged last year; becoming one of the world's leading multinational pharmaceutical groups. The company is headquartered in the UK, with operating companies in more than 60 countries around the world, more than 30 production bases, a total of more than 30,000 employees, and products sold in more than 100 countries, accounting for about 3% of the global pharmaceutical market share.
That is, there is no merger with SmithKline at present. Once it becomes GlaxoSmithKline; Guo Desheng may not dare to think about it!
Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "There is an old saying in our China, if you don't rob the road, just sell medicine!"
Although it did not explicitly acquire that company, the answer has been given from the words!
After all, only Glaxo Wellcome is a pharmaceutical company, and the other two have nothing to do with buying medicine!
In fact, Bao Zixuan also wants to invest in pharmaceutical companies, but the timing is not yet very mature; it is easy to be deliberately targeted. Wanting to make money from everything means leaving no room for others to survive. The strength has not yet reached such a terrifying level.
Guo Desheng smiled and said: "Mr. Bao is still far-sighted. At present, the Guo family can raise 5 billion pounds of funds."
"Glaxo Wellcome's market value is about 6.5 billion pounds, and the acquisition will require a considerable amount of research and development funds; therefore, it needs to borrow 2.5-3 billion pounds from Black Cloud Bank!"
Reciprocate, the bank wants to develop; funds must be circulated. Large-amount benign loans are definitely opportunities that bank managers can only encounter!
Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "You can use it whenever you need it, just give a call two days in advance; go directly to President Yuan, I will call him later!"
It only takes two days to prepare 3 billion pounds, which shows the strong strength of Black Cloud Bank; it can only be said that Bao Zixuan's financial resources are beyond imagination!
So far; the largest pharmaceutical company in the UK has basically belonged to the Guo Desheng family!
