Chapter 328

The queen asked curiously, "count Williams, would you mind telling us what your major investment is?"

"Of course not!" Henry said, "in a word, my next few investments will have to be supported by the British government."

"Come on, if it's reasonable, I'll help you convince the British government!" The queen of England made love to Henry and said with a smile.

"I'll say it one by one. First of all," Henry thought, "first of all, the British times water company. The British government proposed the privatization policy of the water company in 1989. Therefore, I want to buy the British times water company, hoping to get the consent of the British government!"

Thames Water is the third largest water company in the world, and its business is mainly concentrated in Britain and the United States. The first water company is Vivendi, and the second is Suez Lyon water group. What does a water company do? In short, water refers to the industrial chain composed of raw water, water supply, water saving, drainage, sewage treatment and water resources recycling. Waterworks are only a part of water companies!

Henry wants to buy the British times water company, which is equivalent to controlling most of the water use in Britain and some parts of the United States. His status and status will be greatly improved!

Water is the source of life. To control the water in England is equivalent to control the lifeblood of England!

Henry thought that even if he didn't buy Thames Water, he would be bought by RWE group of Germany for more than $4 billion in 2000. Since German companies can buy it, they should be able to buy it!

Sure enough, after hearing Henry's words, the queen immediately said, "this should be no problem, but in terms of price... How much do you plan to pay for times water, count Williams?"

"Four billion dollars!" Henry responded casually, as if $4 billion were a pile of waste paper.

With the current purchasing power of US dollars, US $4 billion is much more expensive than US $4 billion in 2000, and Thames Water is still developing. Therefore, we can infer that the price of US $4 billion is far more than the market value of Thames Water!

A middle-aged man was surprised and said something in the Queen's ear.

The queen of England nodded.

Henry saw that the queen of England was talking with the middle-aged man, so he picked up his glass and drank slowly. When they had finished talking, Henry would go on.

After a while, the queen said to Henry, "count Williams, the purchase of Thames Water is not a big problem. Please go on to the next investment."

"Well," Henry said, "the second investment is, I want to buy British energy!"

In 1989, not only the water companies were privatized and reorganized, but also the power companies were privatized and reorganized, and finally divided into many power generation companies. However, the transmission company is still operated exclusively by the State Grid Corporation of China! The British energy company Henry wants to buy belongs to nuclear power generation, which controls 8 of the 10 operating nuclear power plants in the UK!

The technical content of thermal power generation, hydropower, wind power is a little low, so Henry wants to buy nuclear power plants. At present, the most mainstream of nature is thermal power plants, but the pollution is serious, and nuclear power generation is the future trend, large power generation, less air pollution, and nuclear research will have more use!

At present, the power generation capacity of British energy companies can provide 31.5% of the electricity consumption in the whole UK, and the market value is very high.

If you control water and electricity in the UK, both the queen and the prime minister should pay special attention to themselves! If you sneeze yourself, the UK will be shocked!

Henry thought about it and added, "about 20 billion dollars!"

At the end of the speech, people were shocked and speechless. First it was US $4 billion, and now it is US $20 billion. The more the company bought, the bigger it became. It even wanted to buy British energy, the largest nuclear power company in the UK!

Prince Andrew next to him was stunned at the moment. Although he was born in the Swedish Royal family, he didn't have much money. However, Henry's mouth is tens of billions of dollars, and the 250 million dollars he just quoted in front of him is too shabby! Prince Andrew knew that Henry was the richest man, but he had never seen such a big spender!

Prince Andrew said that he had shallow knowledge and had never seen such a moat! He even had the illusion that he was not a prince, but a beggar

At this time, the queen of England asked, "count Williams, what other companies are you going to buy?"

After controlling hydropower, finance will naturally follow.

"Your Majesty, you know, I bought Barings Bank before."

The queen of England said, "yes, I know that. The royal family's money is still handed over to the Bank of Bahrain for investment management."

"In order to expand the size and profitability of Barings Bank, I will buy many banks in the UK!" Henry said, "when it comes to acquiring banks, just follow the market operation. There are many banks in the UK to choose from. But Thames Water and British energy need permission from the British government! "

"Don't worry, count Williams, the British government should promise to sell the two companies!"

Henry nodded. "Well, that would be the best!"

At this time, the dinner was almost finished. After dinner, Henry was ready to leave Buckingham Palace, but the queen of England called Henry to her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what can I do for you?" Henry asked, observing the Queen's face.

"What do you think of Prince Andrew?" I mean, do you think he's worthy of Princess Ulysses

Henry had a wry smile in his heart. How to answer that.

Henry was silent for a moment. He glanced at Princess Ulysses not far away. Although her face was as cold as ice, her heart was sad. As soon as Henry thought of Prince Andrew's golden hair, rough face and lion like appearance, he immediately felt unworthy of Princess Ulysses.

A flower on cow dung?

Henry shook his head and said to the queen, "I don't deserve it!"

"Who do you think is worthy of it?" The queen of England gave a deep smile and looked at Henry.

Henry saw the Queen's face and knew what she meant.

"I think..." Henry's heart is a little complicated. Princess Ulysses is the most temperament and the most beautiful woman Henry has ever seen. If she is a woman of general status, Henry would have accepted it. She must be charming in a golden house. Who makes her look so beautiful! But her identity is an English princess, Henry has to consider more factors

It's really a big problem whether we can go up or not!
