Chapter 889 I'm really looking forward to it
Currently, O2 Telecom is discussing the acquisition of E-Plus, the German subsidiary of KPN of the Netherlands.
According to estimates, this acquisition will be between 7.5 and 8.5 billion euros.
Although O2 Telecom has entered the German market and developed rapidly before, the gap between it and Germany's top operators, including Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone Germany, is still not small.
According to O2 Telecom's assessment, if it can complete the acquisition of E-Plus, the German subsidiary of KPN of the Netherlands, O2 Telecom will have more than 40 million users in Germany and an annual income of more than 8 billion euros.
At the same time, O2 Germany will also become one of the three major telecom operators in Germany, along with Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone Germany.
Speaking of which, the telecommunications industry is still very profitable. Even if O2 Telecom adopts the strategy of "preferential packages" when entering new markets, as long as it can accumulate enough users, profits will follow.
After all, the largest expenditure in the telecommunications industry is the investment in the deployment of communication equipment. As long as you want to enter this market, this investment is inevitable.
But the more users you have, the higher the income you can get for the same equipment expenditure - in other words, it means that your costs are diluted, and profits will inevitably rise.
Just like before, through acquisitions, O2 Telecom has accumulated a lot of debt, but now, they have repaid more than 40% of bank loans, reducing their debt ratio to a considerable extent.
This is also the main reason why they will start the acquisition again this time. According to calculations, although O2 Telecom needs to obtain more than 5 billion euros of debt from the bank for the acquisition of E-Plus this time, these debts can be repaid within three years after the acquisition is completed, relying only on the receivables of its German branch.

"Hey, William, I'm sorry that I didn't wait for you on Lanai when I went to America before. How do you feel?"
When Talulah Riley left, Barron saw William and Cather walking over from the beach.
When Barron went to New York, William and Cather also came to Lanai from London with their little prince.
Now Barron saw that William was wearing a floral shirt and beach pants, which was different from his usual suit and tie. Cather was also dressed casually. The two held hands and should have just come back from a walk on the beach.
"It's great here, especially coming here from the cold London. I love the sunshine here."
William said to Barron very easily:
"Thank you for your invitation, Barron. George looks much happier after coming here."
"Don't be so polite. We are friends. You are very welcome to come here."
Cather, who was beside William, also behaved very naturally. After chatting with Barron for a few words, she said she would go back to see the children, leaving room for the two men to chat.
"I have to say that your life is really comfortable, Barron. I didn't expect them to get along so harmoniously."
What William said was naturally referring to the various beauties around Barron. When he was in London, he also heard that his friend was very popular with women, but he was still shocked by what he saw and heard after coming to the island.
As a member of the royal family, it is impossible to say how loyal Prince William is. For example, the princes of the British royal family all have a bunch of lovers.
It's just that in front of the public, he always has to pay attention to his image and maintain his loving personality with Cather and his wife.
Even before William got married, there were many rumors about him. "It's nothing. If we have a chance one day, we will go to Los Angeles for a few days. The parties there are very lively, and there are many Hollywood actresses..."
"Well, this is not good..."
It's not that Prince William needs to pretend in front of Barron. Barron understands what he is worried about...
"Don't worry, it will be a private party, and no one will leak it."
"Then I'm looking forward to it..."
In fact, there is no need to go to Los Angeles. If Barron wants, there are a lot of Hollywood actresses and supermodels willing to fly to Lanai to meet them.
It's just that Princess Cather and Barron's women are here, so at least on the island, Barron is not suitable to do too much.

The 55-story West African Financial Center was once the tallest building in Brittany, but now next to this building, the 69-story United Building will be completed at the end of this year, and this building will become the tallest building in Brittany.
It can be said that the area near the West African Financial Center is the CBD area of Brittany, where many large companies and banks have their headquarters.
Among them is the recently established Matrix Capital, which is located in a building with only 25 floors. On the 17th and 18th floors, the headquarters of the Mt.Gox exchange acquired by Juzhen Capital is located.
Until now, Mt.Gox is the world's largest BitC exchange, and its trading volume accounts for more than 70% of the global BitC transactions.
On November 28 last year, BitC experienced its first reduction in production since its birth-when the BitC network block height was 210,000, the reward for each block generated was halved from 50 BitC to 25 BitC.
According to BitC's operating mechanism, production will be reduced approximately every four years. Each production reduction means that the "mining" output per unit time of a "mining machine" with the same performance will be halved.
For example, if global food production suddenly halved, the result would inevitably be an increase in food prices.
In the same way, after BitC's halving, now that it has a considerable trading market, it will inevitably lead to an increase in its price.
In the original time and space, BitC's first "bull market" occurred in 2013. In this "bull market", the price of BitC rose from around US$10 to a maximum of US$1,242, a price increase of more than a hundred times. .
Of course, this price increase and the halving of BitC’s output are only one of the reasons, or a catalyst.
Another reason also needs to be attributed to the previous development of BitC. More and more people have become aware of this "new gadget". As the scale of "users" expands, its price will naturally increase.
Generally speaking, many factors also interact with each other. There will also be a surge in the price of BitC, which will begin to be reported by some media, making it begin to enter more people's vision - most of them will still think that this is "unreliable". "Special things" or "scams", some people have begun to try to understand it...
However, although we know that in this "bull market", the price of BitC will increase hundreds of times, in fact, it is still considered a "niche" and the market is very small - the total trading volume of BitC in 2013 increased by nearly 60% compared with 2012. times, reaching 108 billion US dollars, but this trading volume is less than the one-day trading volume of global gold futures!
Therefore, Barron has never thought about participating in BitC transactions now. At this stage, he only needs to do a good job in the "infrastructure" of this market, such as the standardization of exchanges, and...
