Chapter 1357 The Queen's Sister's Daughter
Yang Cheng frowned, and just reluctantly rejected a bar group, that's all, anyway, it is a service industry, although there are many fixed assets, but after all, it does not help one's own social influence, pure value-added investment, for For Yang Cheng at this stage, it was no longer the most important thing.
But this company named Keli Energy is an investment in people's livelihood infrastructure, and waste recycling power generation technology is also an important part of the future development of new energy. It can be combined with Westinghouse Electric to enter the market of the second and third world countries. From this point of view , Corey Energy seems to be able to rise to the height of strategic investment.
Seeing that Yang Cheng was lost in thought, and his attitude towards the 'Green King' was very different from before, this made William a little excited. It seemed that Yang Cheng was tempted.
It's good to be tempted, tempted means that there is a possibility of investment, and William can also earn a lot of commission from it.
Some people may say, the majestic British prince, as for pranking all over the world?
The answer is that the world says that the British royal family has more than 80 billion US dollars in assets, but in fact 60% of them are intangible assets. After excluding fixed assets such as artworks and castles that are difficult to sell, the real assets that can be used for activities are only a few hundred million pounds .
is it a lot? That's a lot, but Windsor is a huge family. Not to mention anything else, the annual maintenance of castles and servants' wages alone is enough to give the Queen a headache. How can there be any money left to afford the luxurious life of her children?
Anyway, if William wants to maintain his current standard of living, he must find a way to make money.问噺繓赽奇奇小说盧|w~w~
Although I just made more than 100 million yuan a while ago, in addition to repaying debts, I also used part of it to help my brothers and sisters, and in the end I didn't have much left.
Recently, he was optimistic about a project that required an investment budget of more than 20 million pounds. Obviously he didn't have that much money, otherwise he wouldn't be so active in promoting Yang Cheng.
For this reason, he learned from his mistakes in recommending 'Green King' and made more thorough preparations this time.
He signaled Yang Cheng to sit down first, went to the study by himself, and handed a stack of documents to Yang Cheng when he came back, "This is the information I sent someone to investigate, you can take a look."
Yang Cheng simply took off her dress coat and put it on the back of the sofa, and changed into a comfortable position to read with her legs crossed.
At the same time, William said, "The UK currently produces significantly more waste each year than its existing waste-to-energy facilities can handle. Although waste recycling and reuse have increased, due to continued consumption and population growth, the overall Waste volumes will continue to grow.
So in the UK, those in charge of waste can only make one decision, either to send excess waste abroad for disposal or to bury it in landfill.
But everyone knows that no matter which one you choose, there are great limitations. "
Yang Cheng didn't raise his head, but just hummed in agreement, expressing that he understands this truth, but what can he do? Waste recycling power generation also has a saturation level. Once the saturation level is exceeded, the recycling center cannot receive excess waste without limit. Rubbish.
Then these extra rubbish are rubbish with no use value.
William is obviously familiar with the investigation report, and he can tell a lot without reading, "Due to geographical constraints, waste export is only an option in some parts of the UK. Even in areas where this option is feasible, you can You know, because of the recent commotion about the referendum, the pound has depreciated sharply, and the cost of exports has also risen sharply.
Moreover, although I am not sure, once Brexit becomes a reality, the direct consequence is that other countries will refuse to import waste from the UK to a large extent in the future.
In fact, country Z decided to ban the import of various types of solid waste from abroad as early as the beginning of the year, and now the entire Europe and the United States are piled up with garbage. "
Hearing this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but sneered. Of course, this sneer was not noticed, and now he is always a member of the capitalist camp.
Some things should not be too obvious, such as the fact that he still has his heart for the motherland. He did it secretly, and everyone turned a blind eye and closed their eyes and pretended not to see it. But if you blatantly support it, you will definitely get a blow from the whole West. , the Yang family cannot bear this kind of pressure.
Therefore, Yang Cheng is still reasonable. Although he is very disdainful of the double standards of the West, at least he will not fight back directly from the angry youth.
Fortunately, William did not dwell on this issue, and continued, "Most of the waste that is buried in British landfills is subject to heavy taxes for every ton of landfill, which reflects the British government's commitment to reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. , meaning landfill is an increasingly expensive option.
Available landfill capacity is also dwindling as existing sites are filled and not replaced.
Combining all these factors together, I think the development and investment of waste-to-energy plants in the UK has very broad prospects, and it is worth your heavy bet. "
Yang Cheng still didn't answer, his ability to focus on two things became stronger and stronger, and he listened to William's bewitching. But his eyes can stare at the investigation report, looking for key information at a glance.
In fact, he also found the information he wanted to see. This survey report came from the research department of the investment company under the royal family, and it still has a certain degree of credibility.
There are currently two types of waste-to-energy projects on the market, the difference lies in the technology used.
The first category of projects adopts traditional combustion and incineration technology. Numerous waste-to-energy plants in operation across the UK have fully proved that combustion and incineration technology has given the market enough confidence. More traditional debt banks in the waste sector obtain project financing.
There are currently two main contractors on the market who are engaged in this type of project. They have the experience and financial resources to use their own technology to continuously deliver results to the market. Therefore, at least until these contractors are too busy to undertake new projects. , new contractors in this area rarely stand a chance. The fastest updated Qiqi novel
The second type of project uses more advanced waste disposal technology, usually a form of vaporization.
In this market segment, various technologies have not yet been proven in the UK, and technology suppliers have almost never had the interest, technology and financial resources to deliver to customers.
However, this does not mean that this new technology has no prospects. Many developers are still interested in advanced technology. The reason is simple: the possible ZF subsidies, the gimmick of environmental protection and higher processing efficiency, are more likely to obtain the necessary planning License for faster implementation of development.
However, developers' confidence in these advanced technologies is not always recognized by investors. Although there are still many equity investors who want to invest in these types of projects, other investors with a small structure and a lack of broad vision, and almost None of the debt banks are currently considering these technologies as part of their potential portfolios.
Corey Energy Company is facing such a problem. The management wants to develop and invest in new technologies in order to expand its market share to the entire British Isles. The board of directors and debt banks headed by major shareholders are not willing to invest more funds. They Would rather take out the annual income to invest in real estate.
When there are irreconcilable conflicts between the management and investors, finding a new major shareholder has become a matter of course.
For Yang Cheng himself, investing in the new energy field is both an opportunity and a challenge, and Westinghouse Electric is his first step, and Keli Energy Company is likely to be the next step!
It's just that he still has doubts in his heart. Once this Keli Energy Company is a huge hole, no matter how much money he has, he won't be able to fill it.
After closing the folder and gently placing it on his lap, the aura from top investors slowly permeated.
Affected by this aura, William slowly put away his smile and became serious.
"How is it? What do you think after reading the report? With our relationship, if you have something to say, just say it."
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, "This survey report of yours mainly expounds the current situation and prospects of the waste recycling power generation market, and I didn't see any information about Corey Energy from it!
I mean valuable information, such as the company's liabilities, and development plans and so on. "
William crossed his fingers and clenched his fists against his chin, and said seriously, "The biggest debtor of Corey Company is Santander Bank. Three years ago, in order to expand the waste recycling center and landfill, including several patented technologies for power generation, it paid Santander Tander Bank’s loan of 200 million pounds, plus previous liabilities, is now in charge of between 300 and 400 million pounds, and the specific figure needs to be reviewed by a professional audit team.”
"300-400 million" Yang Cheng muttered this number softly. Compared with his stable annual income of nearly 50 million pounds, this debt does not seem to be high.
"So the biggest problem now is not the debt, but the conflict between the management and the board of directors, leading the major shareholders to seek to sell their shares?"
William spread his hands, "Yes, according to the news I have received, the major shareholder has encountered a relatively large debt crisis, coupled with conflicts with the management, and the suppression of the company's debts, it is difficult for him to continue The company adjusted its profits, so after comprehensive consideration, it was decided to sell the shares for cash.”
It sounds like a legitimate reason, and Yang Cheng didn't find anything wrong with William's words, "Well, I'm sending someone to conduct a preliminary investigation on Corey Energy Company, and if it matches the facts, I can entrust you as an intermediary to formally report Corey Energy has made an offer to buy."
William's embarrassing expression flashed away, and after he struggled for a few seconds, he said, "Forget it, let me tell the truth, in fact, the majority shareholder of Corey Energy Company is a relative of my family."
Yang Cheng was taken aback, "A relative of your family? So a nobleman?"
William shook his head, "No, how should I put it, in terms of relatives, the other party is my uncle, and his wife is also my aunt, Sarah, the daughter of my grandmother's sister, Princess Margaret."
