Chapter 521: Thoughts on acquisition (1/2)
”Rolls Royce... Bentley... this is indeed a golden opportunity!”
Xia Yu touched his chin, narrowed his eyes, and muttered to himself.
After the Rolls-Royce came out, his heart was suddenly ready to move.
He thought about Rolls Royce.
If Rolls-Royce can be acquired, for him, whether it is strength or money, or the influence on connections and influence, it will be huge.
And now it happens to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the value of Rolls-Royce is low, it is most suitable for bargaining. If this opportunity is missed, even if it can be acquired in the future, the price will be more than ten times higher.
Since entering the 1970s, the British economy has been declining, especially after the first world oil crisis, and the world economy has also fallen into a period of depression.
Especially the year before last, in December 1976, John Bull, who had always been so arrogant and helpless, lowered his bull's head and borrowed £2.3 billion from the International Monetary Fund, but at the cost of asking the UK to carry out a series of Economic reform.
Affected by the overall economic environment, the British manufacturing industry and the service industry are all caught in a dilemma. Of course, Rolls-Royce is no exception, with serious losses.
But Rolls-Royce is related to British defense and security after all, so the British Defense Equipment Group took over Rolls-Royce and began drastic reforms.
However, the reforms are targeted, and the main force and resources are not invested in the automotive sector.
Speaking of this, we have to mention Rolls-Royce.
The English name of Rolls-Royce is Rolls-Roye. This word can be translated into two meanings. The first one is Rolls-Royce, a symbol of the automotive industry.
The second translated name is equally famous, Rolls-Royce, the renowned Rolls-Royce company.
Rolls-Royce is a well-known British aero engine company and the largest aero engine company in Europe. The various aero engines it develops are widely used in civil and military aircraft around the world.
Rolls-Royce is the world's second largest civil engine company, the world's second largest military engine company, and one of the world's three largest aero engine manufacturers.
Not only that, Rolls-Royce is also involved in the British defense, shipbuilding, and energy fields, and they all occupy an important position.
The automotive sector is just one of them.
Xia Yu is a Xiangjiang person. If he wants to acquire Rolls-Royce, it will be as difficult as the sky. Unless the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity appears in seven or eight years, and Xia Yu needs to be among the top ranks in the UK, then There is only one possibility.
But now, don't even think about it.
However, Xia Yu also knows himself, and even if he has sufficient funds, he is not qualified, but if he simply purchases the Rolls-Royce Motor Division, there is still room for operation.
Last year, the British Defense Equipment Group stepped in to split Rolls-Royce, and the automotive division was spun off separately and became a separate Rolls-Royce Motor Company under the Rolls-Royce Group.
Despite the reforms for more than a year, the development of Rolls-Royce is still struggling.
Nowadays, whether it is the request of the International Monetary Fund, the voice of the British people, or the secret promotion of the instigator of the British capitalists, the call for economic reform in the United Kingdom is growing.
The Iron Lady Thatcher, who is carrying the banner of privatization, has an increasing support rate. The Conservative Party is fully supporting Thatcher.
So Xia Yu secretly calculated his mind.
Capital and politics have never been separated, especially when capital is stronger, it becomes closer to politics.
