Chapter 301
The infrastructure construction of emerging markets has always been a "big cheese" in investors' minds. However, in recent years, countries like the UK that urgently need to update outdated infrastructure have also emerged.
With the active participation of major sovereign wealth funds, British infrastructure is becoming more and more eye-catching as a very stable investment.
Although the investment returns in infrastructure are relatively low, they can provide long-term and stable income and are not easy for competitors to enter, which is very attractive to institutional investors whose main purpose is to make steady investments.
Bristol Coast Natural Gas Power Plant has been purchased by young billionaire Arthur Boling in October this year, and has been making various news and news.
What is the valuation of 400 million pounds completely underestimated, Arthur Bolin has picked up a bargain, what is the third phase project that has been delayed for many years, and it is launched again under the initiative of the new boss, and what is inviting an accounting firm to audit its financial situation and prepare to go public, which is simply lively.
As Arthur Boling's boss became more and more famous and became the new favorite of the British media, news related to him naturally attracted much attention and pursuit.
The popularity of a press conference is often highly consistent with the news scale corresponding to the organizer. The elusive Arthur Bolin made a public appearance again since London disappeared, and it was a press conference that invited many media to attend, which naturally attracted many media.
Before 8 o'clock in the morning, many reporters came to the lobby of the Coast Power Plant office building to wait. At 9:15, media reporters came everywhere in the hall, carrying "long guns and short cannons" and dragging camera racks to wait for the treasures.
A rough figure has at least 100 media reporters, many of which are foreign journalists. There are also many Celestial media and Celestial Herijiang media. As the press conference approaches, reporters begin to enter the venue with their staff's documents.
"The attention is different! Even the reporter from the gossip tabloids came..." A reporter from a Celestial News sighed when he heard a reporter lined up to enter the court.
"There is no way, who made his photos easy to sell? Didn't he just elected as the "No. 1 man that British girls want to marry the most" a few days ago? Haha, an economic news, so much entertainment and gossip media are enough."
The media reporter from the Celestial Dynasty was cheered up. As an overseas reporter of a famous newspaper, he received the task last night. On the way he came, he only took a general look at the news background. He only knew that the overseas investment of Celestial Dynasty enterprises had made new progress. He just regarded it as a normal news task, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
At that time, there were already many cameras on the press conference. The scene was spectacular and it really surprised many media reporters. This was not the case where a press conference held by a power plant should have. The feeling on the scene was so shocking.
The press conference was filled with people. Many people were amazed at Arthur Boling's news appeal.
There are 10 minutes left before the press conference. The spacious and bright hall is filled with reporters from media from home and abroad in the UK, greetings, greetings, greetings, Chinese, English... intertwined into the most common warm-up scenes of press conferences.
At 10 a.m., the press conference officially began. With a tall suit, the handsome Arthur, smiling elegantly, appeared with Wu Qiang of Quanta Group and the eldest son of Feldspar Group, walked onto the stage that had been built long ago. In the quickly quiet hall, the "click" sound of the camera, and the sound of the computer typing the keyboard resonated at the same frequency.
"Good morning, welcome to you..." The host of the press conference smiled and greeted the reporters on the left side of the stage. Then, in the ups and downs of London, the host introduced the identities of Arthur, Wu Qiang and the eldest son, which once again caused a flash of light and a sound of shuttering sound of Kaka.
Then Arthur, Wu Qiang and the eldest son signed a formal transaction contract under the witness of media reporters. Of course, this was a formality. The contract was signed in the previous conference room, and when he was given the press conference, he was just pretending, shook hands, and let the media take photos.
Arthur stood between the two, crossed his left and right hands, and shook hands with Wu Qiang and the eldest son respectively. The three of them faced the press seat with a happy smile, allowing the reporters to take photos, and the flash lights flashed into white.
After taking the photo, Arthur smiled and signaled Wu Qiang and the eldest son to take the seat. He took the initiative to be in the main position between the two, with a calm and indifferent smile on his face and spoke to the microphone.
"Good morning, thank you for coming to today's press conference. After the equity transaction of the Coast Power Plant is completed, the assets will be held by me, Tianchao Guangda Group and Tianchao Heri Jiang Fengshui Group respectively. I personally hold 70% of the shares, and Guangda Group and Feldshui Group respectively hold 15% of the shares..."
Facing hundreds of media reporters and flashing flashes from time to time, Arthur was not nervous at all. He kept a polite smile on his face from beginning to end, and his speaking speed was moderate, making people feel very comfortable.
"... As we all know, the UK is the second largest in the world and the largest international foreign investment destination in Europe. At the same time, the UK is the third "commercial convenience" country in Europe, and the UK's ZF's service awareness and efficiency are favored by many investors. This is also one of the important factors that make our coastal natural gas power plants reach investors so quickly.
At the same time, our power generation business in power plants is a very mature and promising business. We believe that the sale of part of the equity will accelerate the expansion of our coastal power plants.
Let me tell you a good news. Due to funding issues, the third phase of the construction project, which has been delayed for several years, has been officially launched and the funds have been in place. The ground will break down today...
Arthur's speech was very official, but all of them boasted about the excellence of the coastal power plant. Arthur even revealed the financial report and profit amount of 2009, which made the reporters in the entertainment and gossip tabloids in the press room laugh and cry, while those reporters in the financial version kept shaking their heads and laughing, lamenting the marketing methods of the young count in their hearts.
"...Investing in railways and investing in new energy power plants will have completely different risk-return ratios, but in general, investment in these infrastructures has a common feature, which is low risk and stable investment returns. Moreover, such investments have the effect of resisting inflation.
Before choosing the investment target, we conducted detailed investigations and research, and concluded that during the construction stage of this energy power plant project, the risk may be relatively high, but as the project tends to be completed, the risk will decrease accordingly. Once the project starts to be put into operation, the risk will be almost zero at this time. The profit is not reflected in the construction stage of the project, but once it is put into operation, it will start to increase, and stable returns will be maintained throughout the year.
This is why we are optimistic about coastal power plants, and we are more optimistic about its future development and benefits... "
As a representative of Quanta Group, Wu Qiang explained the reasons for investing in coastal power plants in Chinese, the basis and prospects for the future.
“…The most important thing is the return rate and robustness of the invested projects. Due to the stable return rate of infrastructure assets, coastal natural gas power plants do not have to worry about not finding good buyers.
Historically, infrastructure funds, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds have been very interested in investing in UK energy infrastructure assets, such as the aforementioned potential buyers Macquarie Group, the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Committee and the Desert Sovereign Fund, which have always had a strong demand for UK utility investment.
This time, our Feldspar Group was able to successfully become a shareholder of the Coast Power Plant in the competition of many competitors. I personally am very happy that in my opinion, the market value is false, and only real fixed assets are the fundamental...
The eldest son of the Muzi family, who was elegant and had a warm smile on his face, said calmly in front of hundreds of reporters.
Listening to the eldest son's words, Arthur looked at the other party with a smile. He had to say that the Muzi family chose him as the heir, and he really chose the right choice, and he had enough success!
The business talent trained and created by Muzi's richest man is indeed moving forward cautiously at the pace of his heirs step by step.
The market value is all false, and the Muzi family has indeed had a certain vision when they come to the UK to "collect rent"!
