Chapter 1371 They Are All Good Actors

"So your suggestion is that there is no need to meet?"

Carson smiled slightly, "If the Boot family is really going to do something, there will definitely be a chance to meet in the future, won't they?"

Yang Cheng pondered this sentence carefully, "It makes sense~"

At this time, Yang Cheng, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped, pointing at the weeds diagonally ahead, "Isn't there any repair here?"

Carson walked over, knelt down to take a look, and then apologized solemnly, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't supervise well."

To be honest, if it was just an ordinary weed, Yang Cheng would not point it out on purpose, but in the well-manicured back garden, a bunch of weeds is particularly obtrusive and unsightly.

Of course, he didn't blame Carson for this. There are several viewing routes in the huge back garden, and there are always negligence.

"It's not your fault, just urge the gardener to remove it."

. . .

After wandering in the garden for nearly an hour, I stopped to have two snacks and a cup of tea during the period, and then returned to the castle refreshed.

It is a rare sunny day with plenty of sunshine, and the windows and doors that can be opened in the castle are all open for ventilation.

The gentle breeze flows, and the sunlight lightly shines into the room, making Yang Cheng feel like returning to California.

The servants took the opportunity to do a general cleaning, especially for the corners, some places that do not see the sun all year round, and need special moisture-proof treatment.

Yang Cheng didn't want to hide in the study room alone, so she asked Carson to take a book and read it while sitting in the living room.

At this time, Carson quickly walked over with Yang Cheng's mobile phone, covered the microphone and said softly, "It's Your Highness~"

Yang Cheng closed the book, took the phone, "It's me ~ William."

"hey buddy, do you have time this afternoon?"

"Of course, I've been at the manor~"

"That's good. In the afternoon, I will take my aunt and the others to visit the castle."

Yang Cheng frowned. At the critical moment of the negotiation, he, the speaker, should not meet directly with the other party, but William had to give face, so he had to say, "OK, you guys come here directly, or should I send someone to pick it up?"

"It's great, we will go there by ourselves, and we will arrive around 2 o'clock."

"No problem, waiting for you."

I hung up the phone, thought about it, and called Wang Yitong. William brought his aunt and uncle here. Most likely, it was because of the energy company's affairs. In this case, it is best to call Wang Yitong, the person in charge.

After making a round of phone calls, Yang Cheng told Carson to speed up the cleaning work and try to finish it before the guests visited.

In fact, the servants moved very quickly. By the time Yang Cheng was about to have lunch, they had already finished all their work, and the castle had once again returned to tranquility.

After a good night's sleep after eating and drinking, Yang Cheng took a hot bath to refresh himself. Just as he went downstairs, he was notified by the guard that the guests had arrived.

Yang Cheng personally took Carson to greet him at the door, because the purpose of everyone's visit was to talk about things, and he was not in the mood to visit for the time being. After some courtesy, everyone came to the living room to sit down, and the servants served tea in an orderly manner.

After withdrawing, Yang Cheng, as the host, opened the topic first,

"Is the journey going well?"

William answered, "It went well, I thought it would be very congested."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Recently, the expressway leading to Shao Desen has been widened, and there is an extra row, which immediately relieved the congestion in the past. This is the only good thing the infrastructure department has done. I am going to praise them in the newspaper Woolen cloth."

One sentence set the tone for a relaxed chat, as if the thing that was played before had never happened at all.

We chatted a few more words about the weather, yes, this is the constant topic of British conversation for thousands of years, if nothing happens, we can chat all afternoon just talking about the weather.

Fortunately, William and the others had something on their minds, so they took the initiative to stop the chat, and brought the topic back to the main topic, "Jason, regarding the debt issue of Corey Energy, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my uncle."

Yang Cheng smiled and didn't respond, what kind of joke, she was almost pushed into the pit, can an apology solve it?

It doesn't matter if you are a prince, the prince's name is not worth a billion pounds.

Of course, Yang Cheng did not vent his anger on William, and he was also a victim in this matter.

William's aunt, Sarah, also said apologetically, "Mr. Yang, we did this wrong. Corey concealed the company's debt problems because of too much pressure and wanted to recover the losses as much as possible. I hope you I can understand it, for this reason, we discussed it and decided to show sincerity as compensation."

Yang Cheng more or less raised some interest, which made William go to war and directly brought someone to the door to apologize. Could it be that the other party is very sincere?

Sarah didn't make a fool of herself, and said bluntly, "Cory's original plan was to cash out the shares of the energy company, and then jointly acquire the Northwest Electric Power Company with a friend."

Yang Cheng looked solemn, and turned his head slightly to wink at Carson who was waiting on the side.

The other party understood, and immediately pulled away and left, and took Yang Cheng's pad after a while.

Yang Cheng immediately googled the basic information of Northwest Electric Power Company.

As one of the 14 basic distribution network operators in the UK, Northwest Power Company serves about 5 million customers and 2.4 million in rural areas such as Cumbria in the Northwest region of the UK, including important cities such as Manchester, Lancashire, and Chester. building electricity.

It is a very scarce low-risk infrastructure asset with stable customers, good operation, and the ability to continuously generate safe, durable and stable income. To some extent, it is more worth investing in than Corey Energy.

Seeing Yang Cheng lowered his head and reading the materials, Sarah added, "We have received news that JP, the major shareholder of the Northwest Power Company, and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia's First State Group, plan to put it up for sale at an auction price of 2 billion pounds. It will be held in the third quarter of this year.

We are sure to persuade the other party to cancel the auction and turn it into a private transaction between the two parties. "

Yang Cheng raised her head and handed the pad to Wang Yitong, asking her to take a look too.

The other party's intentions are self-evident. The other party admitted that they deliberately concealed the debt problem before. Because of William's existence, the other party did not want to be deadlocked, so they chose to make up for it in another way. For example, they provided news about the sale of an important asset!

As soon as Sarah finished speaking, William followed suit, "Jason, Northwest Power is one of the few high-quality industries in the UK. The Northwest has a population of 5 million. If you live with this company, you will face a lot of competition if it is put up for auction. opponent.

As far as I know, potential investors currently interested in participating in the bidding include British pension funds, Spanish power giants, etc.

In addition, the State Grid of Country Z, which has been trying to acquire power assets in European countries, will also participate. By the way, there is also the Li Chaoren family of Xiangjiang, which is also a strong competitor. "

The opponents in front of Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention, maybe they were the pawns to accompany the bid, but when he heard that Li Chaoren would also enter the arena, he immediately raised his vigilance.

An asset that can be valued by a shrewd person like Li Chaoren must be a good thing, Yang Cheng has no doubts about this.

Of course, the value of Northwest Electric Power itself is there, and there is nothing to hide. Even without Li Chaoren's participation, Yang Cheng might invest, but with Li Chaoren's attention, he is more confident.

"What did you say JP Morgan's price tag was?"

Sarah immediately said, "2 billion pounds~"

Yang Cheng muttered the number in his mouth, then directly picked up the phone, scanned the address book for a long time, found a number and called.

After waiting for a few seconds, the other party answered the channel, "Jason? You don't call me often."

Yang Cheng smiled, "I'm sorry Jamie, didn't I bother you for breakfast?"

The other party was Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, "Oh, luckily, I just finished breakfast and was about to get in the car to go to the company."

"Perfect, that's right. I'm in the UK and I'm discussing a business with Prince William's friend. The Northwest Power Company is owned by JP Morgan, right?"

Jamie Dimon was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to mobilize the information in his mind. There was no way, Morgan managed too many assets.

After a while, he replied, "That's right, so you are going to buy?"

He remembered that a few months ago, at a regular meeting, the president of the British branch reported this matter.

Yang Cheng affirmed, "Yes, you plan to sell it for 2 billion pounds. I have no problem with this price, so why don't you put it up for auction and sell it to me directly."

Jamie Dimon hesitated for a moment, and changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, "If I remember correctly, JP Morgan is not the only shareholder of North West Power."

Yang Cheng covered her forehead, as if you were teasing my expression, "come on, I don't think the Australian group called Kanglian Headland will reject Damo's will!

What's more, I won't let them lose money, and I directly took out your expected figures, and saved the trouble of the auction, killing two birds with one stone. "

Jamie Dimon himself agrees with Yang Cheng's words, Kanglian Headquarters? He didn't pay much attention to the little character who followed behind to drink soup, but he still made a habit of it, "Um~ I'll discuss it with my British colleagues before I make a decision for you."

Unexpectedly, Yang Cheng didn't want to talk about it at all, so he directly set out his own conditions, "I can't take out 2 billion pounds in cash at one time, and I'm going to borrow part of it."

Jamie Dimon smiled triumphantly, "Oh! No problem, JP Morgan is willing to provide loan services for New Era Media."

New Era Media, but now Wall Street investment banks are desperately trying to win high-quality customers, probably because New Era Media is not short of money, so naturally it doesn't need loans.

It's rare to hear the word loan from Yang Cheng. It's not easy. Loaning to high-quality customers means high handling fees and interest rates, which are all profits.

The most important thing is that this transaction does not need to use cash at all, just transfer the Northwest Power Company to Yang Cheng, and then negotiate the repayment model, term and interest.

What's more, Yang Cheng called in person, it was more or less a favor, so the decision seemed not difficult to make!

"Then, we have a happy cooperation~"

Yang Cheng said with emotion, they are all good actors, but they said loudly, "Happy cooperation~"
