Chapter 2059 Meet Cameron
♂
Looking at the companies Li Chaoren and the others acquired in the UK, especially the evaluation report, Feng Yu felt that this investment was not bad.
Although the profit margin is somewhat different from Feng Yu's main investment, the cash flow is high, and the income is stable, and the dividends can also be stable.
Moreover, because of their large scale, these companies are closely related to the people's livelihood in the UK, and their credibility is not bad. What's more, after Li Chaoren took charge, there is no shortage of money, and the credibility will be even better.
Li Chaoren looked forward to the prospects. After a series of restructuring, although the profit margin will not be greatly improved, the dividends can be much higher, because after they invest a sum of money at one time, these do not require too high continuous investment. Instead, the benefits will continue to come.
If they need to invest in the future, they don’t need to spend another penny. They can use financial leverage and other methods to get it done through bank loans. It feels like a one-time investment that will benefit for life.
Of course there are disadvantages, that is, because of Feng Yu's joining, without the intervention of other Xiangjiang businessmen, the risk is shared by Li Chaoren's company and Feng Yu's company.
At the same time, there are still some policy risks, but Li Chaoren believes that they are controllable. After all, the British Prime Minister is now inviting Chinese leaders to visit, and plans to visit China. This shows the attitude of cooperation between the two parties.
These investments are actually win-win for all parties.
The UK has received foreign investment, upgraded infrastructure, and met the needs of its people, while still having the money to revitalize other industries, such as those hit hard by the economic crisis.
Feng Yu and Li Chaoren have obtained operating profits, and at the same time expanded their corporate influence, and will have more bargaining chips in the future.
Huaxia can just carry out RMB internationalization, and take the opportunity to invest in the UK market, diversifying their once concentrated investment model.
At the same time, it can cooperate with the United Kingdom in various aspects, such as some cutting-edge technologies that China urgently needs to improve. And it can also use the influence of Britain to influence the whole of Europe.
Speaking of which, investing in the UK is actually a strategic bridgehead for Huaxia to fully invest in Europe.
Li Chaoren's current investment is getting more and more successful, so it will be easier for Feng Yu to obtain the telecommunications business that Feng Yu wants, and it will also be of great benefit to the development of Lituo Group, Bank of the West of England, etc.
Feng Yu's coming to the UK also increased Li Chaoren's negotiations.
The biggest impression that Feng Yu gave to many people is that most of Feng Yu's investments are made in cash, unlike other large companies that use financial leverage to invest with bank loans, or cooperate with other companies to make joint contributions.
Even Lituo Group, a company with a market value of more than 100 billion pounds, was acquired by Feng Yu with cash only by joining forces with Kirilenko. Feng Yu's luxury has been recognized by the whole world.
Li Chaoren and Feng Yu are both interested in the second largest telecommunications company in the UK. As for who is the largest? France Telecom Group, a state-owned enterprise, controls the telecommunications markets of several European developed countries such as France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
So the UK's second largest telecommunications group is the UK's own largest telecommunications group. Moreover, this company originally cooperated with Li Chaoren's telecommunications company in Xiangjiang.
Li Chaoren originally planned to increase investment step by step, and slowly increase his investment, so that he would become the second largest foreign investor in the UK. The first is of course Feng Yu. After all, there are huge investments from Lituo and the Bank of the West of England.
But with Feng Yu joining, all this is much easier.
Knowing Feng Yu's arrival, the British Prime Minister and the British Queen both planned to invite Feng Yu to dinner, but in fact they just wanted to meet and chat.
Feng Yu himself doesn't like to meet with political figures, not to mention that the other party must publicize, so Feng Yu politely refused, indicating that he is just a businessman, and he came to the UK at the invitation of Li Chaoren, intending to jointly invest.
Feng Yu would rather meet the British Prime Minister than that old lady. He does not deny that this old lady is very powerful and respected in some respects, but he is not interested in having dinner with an old lady at all,
What's more, there are many very restrictive rules.
Many of the so-called aristocratic rules, even etiquette, seem to be pretentious. They are just some rituals created by the British ruling class to distinguish them from the poor at that time. As for whether they are feudal or not, Different people have different opinions.
Eating and chatting should be very easy things, there is no need to be so rigid.
In the end, the British Prime Minister even said that he could come to visit Feng Yu, and did not make any publicity, but only publicized his meeting with Li Chaoren. This guy wants Feng Yu to invest more money in the UK. Now the UK hopes to attract enough foreign capital to recover their weak economy as soon as possible.
This time, Feng Yu didn't refuse again, but asked Li Chaoren to see what kind of cooperation with the UK is urgently needed in China. For pure business, it is best to be able to build a relationship with Feng Yu's company.
If the other party asks him to invest, then of course Feng Yu will not refuse. The prospect of investing in the UK is still very good, and it can be regarded as one of the most worthwhile countries in Europe for investment.
Feng Yu also hopes to make some important investments in the UK to help its subsidiaries reduce costs and at the same time better expand the market.
Such as electronics, electrical appliances, such as automobiles, and even food, beverages and other businesses. If Lianxiang Yinshan's software can surpass Microsoft's in the UK, it will definitely be a big blow to Microsoft.
Li Chaoren has some hidden tasks at this time, Feng Yu knows this, but he won't ask because he doesn't want to get involved. Of course, he will still help if needed.
Many people don't know that at this time, the British Prime Minister Cameron had worked in Xiangjiang for three months before going to university. And his father was just a financial broker, but his godfather was a member of Parliament in the United Kingdom.
Then he is still a secretary D, he worked as a former prime minister. When the President came to power, the unemployment rate in the UK exceeded 5%, and the number of unemployed people was close to 1.6 million, the highest in the past 15 years.
The fiscal deficit exceeds 12% of GDP, and economic recovery is urgent.
These problems weighed on his head. When Li Chaoren came to invest in the UK, Cameron was overjoyed. When he learned that Feng Yu had also come, he was ecstatic.
If Feng Yu can invest tens of billions of pounds in the UK, then within a year, the British economy will be greatly improved.
So even though Feng Yu refused, Cameron expressed his intention to visit Feng Yu again through Li Chaoren, and made Feng Yu agree.
Cameron also believes that maintaining a good relationship with Feng Yu may also promote his cooperation with Huaxia.
That night, Feng Yu met Cameron at Li Chaoren's private residence.
