"Feng Yu, are you free to come to Hong Kong? I need to discuss something with you."
Superman Li called Feng Yu personally and asked Feng Yu to meet him. It was not because Superman Li does not care about his status. It was because Superman Li was not feeling well recently and does not allow him to travel. Now, he does not leave Hong Kong.
Since Superman Li said he has something to discuss with Feng Yu, it must be something serious. Feng Yu happens to be free, and he arranged for a flight to Hong Kong.
Feng Yu saw Li Zeju at Superman Li's house. Superman Li is about to retire and is pushing his eldest son to the front. But the rest of the shareholders are worried about Li Zeju. They felt he is too young, and they can let him be the CEO but not the Chairman.
Especially after the financial crisis last year, all the listed companies' share prices had fallen. Although Superman Li's assets did not shrink, the rest of the shareholders' assets had shrunk significantly.
The shareholders are worried that if Superman Li retires now, the company's share prices will be at a low level for a long time.
Superman Li was also thinking about how to support his eldest son so that he can enjoy his retirement life in peace. Although he does not have a lot of work as the Chairman, he still needs to give up his position to his son.
Even after he retires, he can still help his son. This is to prevent his son from taking over the position when he is seriously ill.
"Feng Yu, I heard that you are working with Kirilenko to acquire Rio Tinto Group?"
"That's right. Kirilenko felt that Rio Tinto Group has potential, and the global demand for minerals will increase in the future. This is a good investment, and I agree." Now, the whole world knows about this, and Feng Yu does not need to hide it.
"The acquisition negotiations are not going well, right? I heard Andy Rothschild is helping you with this matter. Did you all hire his family to be the middleman? "
Superman Li is influential in the UK, and if he wants to know something, he can get it easily.
Feng Yu nodded. "Rio Tinto Group is involved with many countries, especially Europe. That's why we hired the Rothschild Family. I hope they can reduce the resistance."
If Feng Yu were to negotiate, he would have the confidence to negotiate the price. However, it would not be easy to get approval from the European Union, Australia, or other relevant organizations.
This was not one of those small companies. It was a multinational corporation, and it was the third largest mining corporation in the world. With such a huge influence, it would be very difficult to successfully acquire it.
"I know that Rito Group has shares in Hua Xia Aluminum. You have done the work here, right? It just so happens that I have a good relationship with one of the directors of Rito Group. I can help you convince him to sell his shares to you and try to convince the others. "
Superman Li offered to help? Feng Yu did not think that his relationship with Superman Li was that good. This should be an exchange of benefits. Superman Li must have other conditions.
As expected, Superman Li continued, "I plan to make a series of important investments in the UK, and I need powerful partners. I hope you can support me."
Superman Li wanted Feng Yu's support. This sentence was very clear. Superman Li will surely be the controlling shareholder, and Feng Yu will at most be a shareholder.
Superman Li knew that most of Feng Yu's businesses were controlled by him. There were some shareholders, but most of them were cooperating with Hua Xia's government.
Superman Li does not know if Feng Yu will agree to his request. If Feng Yu does not agree, then Superman Li can only look for other partners. There were still many tycoons in Hong Kong who are willing to cooperate with Superman Li.
But the return period for this investment might be longer, and some people are not willing. They felt that the returns are too slow. Those people could not see the deeper meaning behind Superman Li's actions.
Although the return period is long, Superman Li can guarantee that this investment will not make any losses. Now, the UK was still recovering from the financial crisis, and there is an urgent need for foreign investments. This investment can be considered a bottom-line.
Those companies in Superman Li's hands will only appreciate and not depreciate. This investment will not make any losses. But the investment is too high, and many people are hesitant.
"I don't know what investments you are talking about. If I am interested, we can cooperate, and you can also be the controlling shareholder."
"My Changhe Infrastructure is naturally going to invest in infrastructure, such as power supply, water supply, gas supply, and so on. He Huang and I are mainly doing ports, retail, etc., and I intend to invest in ports, railways, airports, etc. If I can invest in the telecommunications industry, I will also increase my investments in the telecommunications industry. "
Back in the year 2000, Superman Li had invested in the telecommunications industry in the UK. The profits were not high, but it was profitable.
Superman Li is really ambitious and wants to invest in so many industries. But these industries were all invested in by Superman Li in Hong Kong and other Southeast Asian countries. He is experienced.
"Uncle Li, you are going to invest in so many industries, and the amount you are planning to invest should be quite high. That means you are going to reduce your investments in China and focus on the UK market? "
"Not only that. I still want to invest in the Australian and Canadian markets. I also intend to increase my investments in Singapore and Malaysia. My main investments will be in real estate and ports. I had discussed with the government about this. My investments in China will indeed be reduced. The future investment is estimated to be no less than 30 billion GBP. I am talking about my side's investment. "
Feng Yu understood what Superman Li meant. When Superman Li said he had discussed with the government, he must have informed the higher-ups.
The higher-ups are worried. Superman Li is a Hong Konger, but Li Zeju is a Canadian. Also, Superman Li's companies are registered in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Although it is to avoid taxes, this will lower Hua Xia's influence.
But many people do not know that Superman Li's eldest grandson, Li Zeju's only son, is a Hong Konger. This company will eventually be passed down to a Hong Konger.
Before Hong Kong returned to China, Li Zeju had dual citizenship. But after he returned to China, Hua Xia did not allow him to retain his dual citizenship. Li Zeju gave up his Hong Kong citizenship to do business better.
Under the Queen of England's rule, many companies' mergers and acquisitions will be approved more easily. Superman Li had also told Feng Yu that he is a citizen of Hua Xia. His roots are in Hua Xia. His rejection of the Queen's offer of a Duke is the best proof.
Actually, Superman Li's decision to invest in the UK is also related to the higher-ups. After all, Superman Li is a citizen of Hua Xia. Such a large-scale investment will have a greater impact on the UK's economy in the future.
Superman Li's companies were going to invest 30 billion pounds, and he still had to find other people to form a consortium. That means the amount he was planning to invest must be much higher. Even a tycoon like Superman Li would not be able to take out so much money alone.
"I wonder if Uncle Li wants me to invest in your companies or set up a joint venture?" Feng Yu asked. This is a matter of benefits and authority. If Feng Yu is only an idle shareholder, he will not accept it.
