Chapter 1072

"John, I've read a lot of information about Glencore, markridge and commodity trade these two days. Is it really appropriate for you to rush into it?" On the private plane to London, Wang Siqing asked suspiciously.

"What's the matter? Don't you think so?"

"That's not true, but commodity trade often has a lot of trouble, and may even face national sanctions. Isn't markridge finally wanted for violating the interests of the U.S. government?"

"Yes, because of this, I think ah, as long as we can become the major shareholder of Glencore, and the shares must be hidden and can not be known to outsiders, as long as we have enough potential influence."

"Well, I'm just reminding you that it's up to you in the end, but Glencore is really a good investment project in terms of pure enterprise investment and development.

It is said that in 1994, markridge sold the equity of Glencore company to today's management, with a value of about US $600 million. According to the equity setting of Glencore's predecessor, markridge's shares were about 60%.

In other words, in 1994, Glencore's internal valuation was about US $1 billion.

Today, Glencore's shares are mainly controlled by the management and possibly those companies privately controlled by markridge. According to Glencore's current situation, the valuation should be between us $3-5 billion, which is also due to Glencore's continuous acquisition of upstream mineral resources in the past 10 years.

With more and more frequent commodity trade, the threshold has become lower and lower, more and more participants, and the natural competition has become more and more intense. With the continuous decline of profits, Glencore has changed slowly since the early 1990s, and its identity has changed from a simple trading company to a direct commodity supplier.

As for Glencore's continuous acquisition of upstream mineral resources, this is in line with John's strategy of controlling upstream source minerals, and people also have enough contacts. The only thing they lack may be capital, which is good for us. After all, we don't lack capital. It's good to have bank support.

However, John, under such circumstances, how many shares of Glencore do you think Glencore management and markridge are willing to pay? " Wang Siqing said with a smile.

......

"Anyway, Glencore is still very promising. Let's connect first and try. Anyway, it can't be solved at once. By the way, what's the situation of Marilyn Picasso?"

"Hehe... This is a second person. I have contacted Jiana, and Jiana has also heard of the descendant of Picasso. She hasn't contacted him before. This is an unexpected harvest. Jiana is very interested in the deal with Marilyn Picasso and is ready to contact and try to buy some Picasso paintings."

"Ha ha... Well, let her do it, but although Marilyn says she despises her grandfather, don't really look down on others. From her holding so many Picasso paintings and meeting the top figures in Switzerland, it can be seen that they are also smart people."

"Don't worry, we won't underestimate others if we can become the guests of top figures in Switzerland. Jiana has a great reputation in the global art market. I think since Picasso's granddaughter is willing to sell, she is also a smart man. After all, Picasso's paintings are valuable and have no certain financial resources, and she has so many works of art in her hands, If you want to find someone who has enough money to buy, Jiana is the best trading partner, isn't she? "

"Well, you can discuss it yourself. At least art can preserve its value, which can't be better for increasing family heritage in the future."

"Well, I'll talk to Jiana again."

"Well, I'm very interested in Picasso's posterity. Let Jiana buy it as much as possible. After all, Picasso's works will only be more and more valuable."

"Oh, I hope."

“...”

After talking about business, he finally had a leisurely life. Holding a little blushing Wang Siqing, he went to the plane's personal lounge in the ambiguous eyes of security and flight attendant.

......

More than 2 hours flight, London Heathrow International Airport.

Holding Wang Siqing, who was still a little soft and exuded amazing charm, got off the private plane and then got on the welcoming team that had long stopped at the side of the private apron.

Just after Li Feng returned home, the head of the real estate company in London hurried to report on the recent situation of real estate investment projects in London. For example, he basically reached a default consensus with the Qatar Investment Authority, that is, the two sides basically cross invest and will not form a pattern of malicious competition with each other.

For another example, a cooperative investment agreement has been signed with the Qatar Investment Authority. The main building of Century Center in the south of Thames will be built into a twin star pattern, and one of the main investors is the Qatar Investment Authority.

Then it brought an unexpected news. Now there are several real estate investment projects in London. In addition to some fixed commercial real estate direct investment, there are also luxury communities - Chelsea village. Now there is an automatic door-to-door project.

"Charles, you call this project 'Hyde Park one'?"

"Yes, boss, have you heard of it?"

"Oh... No, but I want to know the name. Should Hyde Park No. 1 be next to Hyde Park?" Li Feng immediately regained his mind and smiled back.

"Oh... Yes, this time it's a London real estate development company. It's not very big, but this company bought several old properties near Hyde Park long ago. Now they are ready to tear down and rebuild and build the top luxury apartments based on Hyde Park.

However, the strength of the previous real estate companies was a little poor. Therefore, people took the initiative to recommend them and said that they could cooperate to establish projects together to ask us if we were interested. Obviously, the reputation of our skyline real estate company's series of investments in London has spread. "

"Well, the area next to Hyde Park is a good place to build luxury apartments. After all, the area next to the large park in the city center is one of the best places to build luxury apartments. For example, near Central Park in New York, you can contact others first. I think you can try, After all, Hyde Park in London is as important as Central Park in New York. "

......

After reading the information submitted, Li Feng felt that this was the world-famous Hyde Park project. The information sent showed that the real estate company was a small real estate company in London, and the boss was a pair of brothers, which was basically consistent with the world-famous Hyde Park No. 1 project.

To be honest, Li Feng was surprised when he suddenly heard about Hyde Park No. 1 project. After all, there were a lot of news about Hyde Park No. 1 on the Internet in his previous life, including a lot of names of the world's most luxurious and top apartments.

At least Li Feng has read the relevant news. In his impression, he still thinks that the No. 1 project of Hyde Park is not so early. It should not officially start until around 2008. Now it seems that it is ahead of schedule, or there has been a plan for a long time, but at first, it may be that people's strength is limited and give up temporarily.

In the past, people may have raised enough funds to promote the project. Now, because Li Feng's skyline real estate has invested a lot in London, it has attracted people's attention. Therefore, it has been pushed to the door directly and automatically.

Li Feng really doesn't mind promoting this famous project in the future. Maybe the Hyde 1 project will completely change its master in the future.

"Finally, boss, we have contacted the London municipal government, but the ownership belongs to the royal family after all. I think the royal family should also get the news. Next, you may need to follow up in person."

"OK, I'll contact Charles first. Maybe it can really be done."

"If it can be done, it will be perfect for the hotel group under our group. The palace type Navy Tidu gate Waldorf Hotel and the future top luxury Skyline Hotel in the center of the century have completed the layout of the hotel in London."

"Well, that's it recently. I'll contact all parties as soon as possible. I hope it can be as we wish."

"Hehe... Boss, we have all considered various factors. It should be said that the possibility is very large, and we are full of confidence in it."

"Well, I hope everything goes well."

"That's nothing. I'll leave first. The company has something to deal with later."

"OK, I'll take you!"

"Thank you, boss!"
