Chapter 482: Power and grid, the beginning of monopoly

Back home, the worried Abigail was relieved to see that William was unscathed, but the chick was probably really frightened, and kept holding William's arm.

However, this also allowed William, who had been tense for the whole morning, to relax, and sent a video report to Oxford's mother.

When Lina saw her son appearing in the manor, she let go of her worries. It was rare to ignore Abigail, who stuck to William's side and did not let go.

Before the end of the video, Lena ordered Gail to let her stare at William from now on not to take a step out of the manor, otherwise she will drive Gail away when Lena returns to London.

At the order of the big boss, Abigail nodded hurriedly. After the video call, he looked at William triumphantly, "From now on you have to listen to me, dear".

"Well, listen to you", Abigail with a wide-eyed smile, fell on the sofa, pretending to be weak and said, "I'm hungry, help me prepare food."

"I'm not fooled by you," Abigail took out his cell phone with a smile, and pressed the phone of the manor chef, beeping for a long time, but the call could not be made.

"Are you a fool?" William looked at the puzzled Abigail amusedly, "Now there is a blackout in London, and the signal receiving towers are shut down. It's only strange that the phone can be made. Don't be long-winded, hurry up and cook for me. of".

"Then let's be together, you help me out."

I took William by the hand and asked him to go to the small kitchen to accompany him. After pulling it several times, he couldn't move. Abigail rolled his eyes and fell directly on William.

"BOSS, do you hate me anymore".

Originally, I didn't plan to go out in the afternoon, and waited until dark to see if the situation could save the old American head Benjamin Arthur's William, silently looking at the poor Gail, "Okay, okay, I promise not to go out this afternoon."

"Ha, if you don't go out in the afternoon, then you will go out at night." Abigail was a Doctor of Double Material, and she immediately saw through this word game.

An angry William slapped the rounded place behind the little girl, "I will starve to death if I don't go again."

"You bastard", Abigail felt the place where he was beaten, "it hurts."

"I'm going to take a shower, you're going to make lunch, that's it," he stood up holding Abigail and threatened. "There are men's affairs, or I will let you not get out of bed."

After talking about Gail, he went upstairs to himself, walked into the bedroom and took off his clothes, all still on the floor, and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

Lying in the large bathtub, he stretched out comfortably, closed his eyes and said to Sunday, "When will the electricity in London be restored?"

"SIR, it is estimated that it will take at least 24 hours if the control computer of the Bakkawi group is not available."

"FK, that doesn't mean that when things are over, the share price of England Power will definitely plummet."

"NO, SIR, Barkawi's team controls the control system of the England Grid Corporation. The London blackout has nothing to do with your power company.

If there is no error in my program, based on my investigation, the power company is operating normally. Once the official cracked the program left by Barkawi in the mainframe of the England grid, London will be able to restore electricity immediately.

"Huh?" Hearing this William opened his glasses and sat up, "You mean that the electricity in England only produces electricity, and there is no business to transmit electricity?"

"NO, SIR, your description is not accurate. England Power is mainly engaged in generating and selling electricity.

The power transmission and distribution system is mainly operated by the England Power Grid, which operates in England and Wales.

Because electricity is difficult to store, unified management of the power grid can adjust the amount of power generation, so as to avoid waste and power generation beyond the actual demand caused by lines, generators and other equipment.

At the same time, in addition to England Power, the power group also has an electric power company and a nuclear power company. The market share is 42%, 31% and 27%."

"What is the market value of England's power grid," William asked hurriedly.

"According to the stock price of the NYSE yesterday, the market value of the England Grid is 2.1 billion US dollars, but I have to remind you that once you do take the England Grid, I estimate that there is an 80% chance of facing antitrust investigations."

"This is a problem," William nodded.

Unless the power company has a large share of the state, any power-related matters are all managed by one company, and it will definitely not escape the suspicion of monopoly.

Among other things, electric power companies and nuclear power companies never hope that the Electric Power Company of England in William's hands will buy the England power grid.

The success of William's acquisition would be tantamount to being directly stuck in his neck. This is something that no company can bear.

Thinking about how to avoid monopoly, he suddenly said on Sunday, "SIR, there is one more thing to remind you that electricity sales in England still use the generation quota mechanism, not how much electricity you want to generate."

"Huh?" William was not surprised and rejoiced, thinking about it for a while and excited, "If I reform the electricity in England, and put electricity on the market as a commodity,

Let the people decide which company to buy. As long as my electricity price is always lower than that of the other two companies, will it be possible to avoid monopoly? "

This question stopped Sunday for a few seconds, "Sorry, SIR, I can't answer you for this kind of ambiguous question, but according to the provisions of the Monopoly Law, as long as you are not losing money or making unprofitable price cuts, then there is no monopoly involved."

"Also, remind you that if you can achieve lower costs than the other two companies, or even only 10% lower, then within a few years these two companies may go bankrupt by 90%.

Electricity is a consumable, no one will buy expensive, even if it is 1% cheaper, there are people who exchange power companies. At that time, once these two companies went bankrupt, it seemed unnecessary for you to buy the England grid.

And once the electricity production in England and Wales is unified, you will again face the risk of monopoly."

When I heard this, William was not only not angry, but laughed, "That's something for the future, even as long as my electricity price is lower than that of other countries, the English official may support me to go out of the three islands of England and make money from other countries.

And don’t forget that the owner of the Devonshire Family Fund is my mother. I use the fund to buy power grids, maybe I can avoid monopoly.”

There was a pause for a few seconds on Sunday before he said, "I suggest you leave these issues to Attorney Anthony to deal with."

"Well, it seems that you are not almighty."

William lay back in the bathtub, wondering whether he should take advantage of this attack and the share price of England Grid to buy it.

However, this does not prevent William, a black-hearted guy from spoiling things, closing his eyes and saying to Sunday, "How much loss will be caused by blackout London for three days."

"Wait a minute, SIR".

Ten seconds later, he replied on Sunday, “Last year, the gross national product of the entire Greater London area was 204.7 billion U.S. dollars. Based on this calculation, the direct loss of at least 1.7 billion U.S. dollars in three days of power outages is impossible to estimate.

It should be noted that London is a financial center, and the loss on the stock market cannot be estimated, but I don’t expect it to be less than US$10 billion.

And if the power outage is too long, the official has a high probability to re-evaluate the risk of unified transmission. The England grid you bought may become a junk stock."
