Chapter 1271： 1st person because of kidnappers

On Monday, Yang Cheng met Superman’s eldest brother at the bidding meeting, who was the first in history to become famous overnight because of the kidnappers~

Compared with the appearance of the little Superman always smiling, his elder brother is much more serious and unsmiling. Even when he greets Yang Cheng, he still has a straight face, so that the little Superman can't help but complain, "Brother, Jason is not an outsider, please smile~"

The characters of Little Superman and Big Brother are completely at two extremes. One is a playboy, and the other married shortly after graduating from college. At present, the married life for more than 20 years is very stable.

Perhaps this is also the key reason why Li Chaoren handed over the trust fund to his elder son. He is closer to his father, calm in his work, and quite general. Although he is slightly inadequate than the little Superman in the face of aggressiveness, he grows up with this huge empire. It didn't fall apart under his leadership, and it rose steadily. This is the greatest success.

"Victor, I didn't expect you to come in person today?" Yang Cheng shook his elder brother under the introduction of Superman. Victor was his English name.

"I'm also here for you today~" Victor said bluntly.

Yang Cheng smiled without saying a word.

Victor pressed his chin to his brother, "You go to arrange a cafe, I'll talk to Jason~"

Yang Cheng and Ouyang Hui exhorted a few words, and went out with the Li family brothers.

On the second floor of a tea house near the venue, it was taken down by Superman, not wanting to be interrupted by the conversation.

"Victor, what are you going to talk about, about the two plots of land?" Yang Cheng started talking.

Unexpectedly, Victor waved his hand, "The land is a trivial matter. Let the people below deal with it. I want to talk to you. I hope you can keep it secret."

Yang Cheng looked at the same puzzled Little Superman, pressed the question in his heart, and nodded, "Of course~"

"CKH Holdings prepares to tender for the acquisition of Australian gas pipeline company APA Group~"

Yang Cheng was not surprised at all. CKHH’s determination to invest in infrastructure is very firm, especially in the Commonwealth countries.

However, the market value of APA Group is over 10 billion. If it wants to acquire it, CKH Holdings is bound to use cash reserves. Of course, cash is not a problem for CKH Holdings. Just selling the Central Center and Century Plaza has earned tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

He just wondered why Victor told him the company secrets.

"However, there is news from Australia that ZF Australia may be obstructed and stop this acquisition negotiation. The reason is the same as that of our acquisition of Husky Energy that we did not allow national infrastructure companies to fall into the hands of foreigners."

Yang Cheng nodded. This reason is incomprehensible. Especially for developed countries, companies involved in people's livelihood have not been handed over at all. With the exception of the United Kingdom, John Bull is going crazy, but any opportunity to exchange money will never be missed. The fastest updated novels https://

Victor pushed the glasses and continued, "I mean, if a third party is introduced, will it alleviate Australia's ZF concerns~"

Yang Cheng was taken aback, "Do you mean that Remote Mountain Capital joins in?"

Victor laughed for the first time today, "Yes, maybe you don't know APA Group, here I can give you a brief introduction~"

He made enough preparations today. He didn't have the arrogance of the chairman. He even personally took the pad from the secretary, put it on the table, and gave a PPT speech to Yang Cheng.

"The APA Group, which was listed in 2000, is the leader in Australia's energy infrastructure industry. It has two subsidiaries, APT and APTIT, and owns and manages a portfolio of more than US$20 billion.

The most important point: 50% of Australia's natural gas is delivered by the APA Group, covering 1.3 million households and business users in Australia.

According to our unilateral investigation, APA Group operates more than 15,000 kilometers of natural gas pipelines and 4,100 kilometers of distribution network in Australia, as well as natural gas storage facilities, natural gas power plants and wind farms all over Australia.

In addition to natural gas transmission, storage and processing businesses, APA also provides asset management services for third parties and makes energy investments in unlisted entities.

As of today, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the APA Group is approximately A$3.939 billion. "

Yang Cheng couldn't help but nodded. This figure is still heartwarming. The net asset value is close to 4 billion Australian dollars. When the economic environment is better, the market value has increased by 20 times without any problem.

Victor saw the inexplicable smile at the corner of Yang Cheng's mouth, and then said, "The consortium formed by our Changhe Department has submitted a non-binding tender offer to APA Group.

Currently, APA Group has prepared to sign a binding implementation agreement with the Changhe Consortium.

The agreement stipulates that the CKH Holdings consortium will acquire all listed shares of APA in cash at a price of 11 Australian dollars per share.

In the plan, the total funds are designed to be 12.979 billion Australian dollars, which is a premium of more than 30% compared to the volume-weighted average price of the past three months.

All-cash mergers and acquisitions are very attractive to APA shareholders. The public relations company we hired reported that the APA board of directors believes that the next step of negotiations can be carried out.

In other words, the APA board of directors has initially agreed to the acquisition agreement. "

After a pause, he drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, saying, “In recent years, Australia’s high-quality power and natural gas assets have been favored by foreign investorsChanghe Department is also one of them. Before that, The natural gas pipeline assets acquired by the Changhe Department are mainly concentrated in Western Australia. Qiqi novels are published on the whole network

This is also the biggest problem we will face in this acquisition. "

Yang Cheng interrupted, "Anti-monopoly investigation~"

Victor nodded affirmatively, "Yes, but the antitrust regulator, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (), has a public relations company in charge. They are confident to persuade the Changhe Consortium to acquire APA Group and will not oppose this acquisition. .

The rest is the Australian Federal ZF, no one dares to pack tickets to successfully lobby.

But what if you receive pressure from the United States? "

Yang Cheng said truthfully, "The U.S. still has considerable protection against overseas acquisitions by domestic companies~"

After a pause, he looked inexplicable, "Yuanshan Capital does not have a plan to invest in infrastructure."

Victor pressed his hands, "Why don't you listen to my terms and refuse?"

Yang Orange hesitated for a moment, and reached out to beckon the other party to speak.

"After the successful acquisition, within the next three years, Victoria Harbour Fund is willing to use 4% of Royal Bank of Canada to replace it with Yuanshan Capital."

Yang Cheng was shocked, "Really?"

Not to mention Yang Cheng, even Little Superman looks inexplicable. He has never heard his father talk about it. Since 30 years ago, Superman Li accidentally acquired a 10% stake in Royal Bank of Canada. Network resources and the promotion of social status in Canada are far more important than how much money you earn. Now you suddenly want to sell part of it, is there something wrong with the bank?

The same question lingers in Yang Cheng's mind. If it were not for the bank's internal problems, he would never have thought of the reason why Li Chaoren sold nearly half of his shares.
