Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 735 British Aerospace Corporation

   Of course, he will not personally come forward in this matter, but will only be plotted behind the scenes. Since the British government deliberately closed down domestic coal mining enterprises in the 1970s, the contradiction between British coal miners and the government has been completely formed.

  Britain is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the birthplace of the labor movement. Trade union forces have played an important role in the UK.

  According to the statistics of the UK National Trade Union Annual Conference, the organization members of the UK Trade Union Annual Conference, large and small trade unions, more than 50, and its scale covers millions of members.

  In British history, the highest number of trade union members was after Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979. At one point, the number was as high as 13 million, and trade union members accounted for 26% of all workers in the UK.

   The reason is that the Conservative Party headed by Margaret Thatcher implemented privatization reforms. During this period, many workers from all walks of life were worried about unemployment, so that the power of trade unions continued to expand.

   Among all trade unions, the miners' trade union had the most serious strike and the most powerful influence. They had brought down the Heath government in the 1974 strike movement.

   This has led many, including the ruling Conservative Party, to believe that the National Union of Miners is one of the strongest unions in the UK.

  Although Yang Chen knew that Mrs Thatcher's reforms had been successful in later generations, Mrs Thatcher's success did not mean that others could ignore the energy of the union.

  In the capitalist country of the United Kingdom, the people hold the votes in their hands. Not every leader of the United Kingdom has the courage of Margaret Thatcher, who dares to be tough with the trade unions who hold a large number of votes.

   Therefore, this matter must be dealt with slowly, and after everything subsides, Mrs. Thatcher will come out to pick peaches after suppressing the power of the miners' union.

  The UK, as one of the largest industrial powers in Europe, needs a terrifying amount of electricity every year. As long as it controls a certain scale of power plants and controls part of the UK’s national power grid, it can completely gain a firm foothold in the UK.

   In the future, Li Chaoren bought and bought in the UK, almost all of which were people's livelihood industries. In addition to making money, the other one was to help the company quickly gain a foothold. Open up and integrate yourself into the UK market.

   The people's livelihood industry is related to the social stability of a country, and the power industry is not only related to people's livelihood, but also to the industrial development of a country.

   Compared with other industries such as petroleum, telecommunications, biopharmaceuticals, and ports, Yang Chen wants to master the power industry in the UK.

  The most inseparable thing for power companies is energy, and the energy that can provide power generation is nothing more than coal and oil, and wind energy, solar energy, thermal energy, etc., even in the 21st century, still only occupy a small proportion.

   The power grids of many countries are actually controlled by energy companies. As long as he acquires coal mining companies, the business related to power companies will naturally fall into his hands.

  Although the United Kingdom has been closing coal mining companies since the 1970s, it is by no means an overnight thing to ban coal mines for power generation.

   Therefore, Yang Chen is not in a hurry, as long as he has money in his hand, in this era where cash is king, he can buy anything.

  Britain is now exactly the answer to the saying that prosperity must decline. Since World War II, it has not only lost its dominance, but also suffered many disasters, not only external pressure, but also internal chaos.

   Finally met Mrs Thatcher's reforms, implemented privatization, developed the domestic economy, and then went back and forth on the Brexit issue. If it wasn't for the wealth of the family, I'm afraid it would have been tossed away long ago.

   Yuan Tianfan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not overwhelmed by the interests, and continued: "Boss, this is the internal information of British Aerospace that you asked me to check."

After    finished speaking, Yuan Tianfan couldn't help but reminded: "Boss, forgive me for speaking out. British Aerospace Corporation is involved in the field of military industry. If we want to mix it up, I am afraid it will be difficult."

Yang Chen picked up the information he had, and said while looking at it, "I made an agreement with Mrs Thatcher before, as long as we are willing to invest in the UK, no matter which industry or company it is, as long as it is on the privatization list, she will will help.

   Besides, the British Aerospace Corporation has the least competition among these privatized companies, and now all eyes are drawn to the oil company.

   And several companies bidding for British Aerospace Corporation, as far as I know, they have been unable to meet the requirements of the British government.

  This is our opportunity. The British government is under unprecedented financial pressure. They are short of money. The most important thing I need here is money. This time, we can buy two British aerospace companies with the money we made in the London stock market, right? "

   Yuan Tianfan was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you think you are reinvesting all the money we made in the London stock market this time back into the UK?"

  Yang Chen said with a smile: "If Mrs. Thatcher can keep her word, I naturally don't mind returning the money I earned back to them."

   It’s true that he has money now, but if you have money in your hands and don’t spend it, then it’s like a pile of waste paper.

   Now that he is the richest man in China, he can’t be confined to the small place in Xiangjiang. As for Australia, everything has just begun, and the time is still early.

  The UK is different. As long as he acquires a few companies in this privatization reform, no, even if it is one or two large companies, his influence can be greatly increased, which is more in line with his status as the richest man in China.

  British Aerospace Corporation is the largest aviation manufacturing company in the UK. It has reached the world's advanced level in the development of military aircraft, mainly producing subsonic and supersonic aircraft.

   In addition, there are also civil aircraft, which British Aerospace Corporation has also developed. Its A300 passenger aircraft is the only one that can compete with Boeing in the United States in the civil passenger aircraft market.

   At the same time, British Aerospace is also designing and producing a variety of products such as missiles & missiles, space satellites, electronic equipment, instruments, weapon systems, and test equipment.

   It is no exaggeration to say that British Aerospace Corporation occupies a very high weight in the British industrial field, if not one of the best.

Since last year, the Conservative government headed by Margaret Thatcher has promulgated a "de-nationalization" policy and implemented privatization reforms. British Aerospace Corporation is also on the privatization list. Fifty-one percent of the shares were sold to private individuals.

  Because the value of British Aerospace is too high, the overall market value is as high as about 6 billion pounds. Even if the value of British Aerospace has been repeatedly underestimated due to factors such as previous losses, its current market value is still as high as 5 billion pounds.
