我爱卫报 http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,3604,1336110,00.html Abramovich faces rich list challenge Mark Milner Tuesday October 26, 2004 The Guardian Lakshmi Mittal, the Indian-born steel magnate, yesterday staked a claim to overtake Roman Abramovich as Britain's richest man with a ￡10bn deal to create the world's largest steelmaker. It will see his family pick up a ￡1bn-plus dividend. Ispat International, where Mr Mittal has a 77% holding, is buying the Mittal family's privately owned steel group LNM for $13.3bn (￡7.1bn) and the Ohio-based steelmaker International Steel group for $4.5bn. The new group will have around 165,000 employees in 14 countries and an estimated stock market value of more than $20bn. The Mittal family will hold around 88% of the shares which will be listed on the New York and Euronext exchanges. Earlier this year Mr Mittal, who was born in Rajasthan, was ranked as Britain's fifth richest man in the Sunday Times rich list with a fortune put at ￡3.5bn. Yesterday's deal means it is now well ahead of that figure. As a result, Mr Mittal could be challenging Mr Abramovich, the oil billionaire and Chelsea football club owner, who is said to be worth ￡7.5bn, at the top of the list. Mr Mittal, who began his working life in the family's steel-making business, has built his fortune by buying up out-of-favour steel assets, often as part of government privatisation programmes. His first big success came in Mexico and was followed by deals in countries such as Kazakhstan, South Africa, Indonesia, Algeria, Poland, the Czech Republic, France and Germany. "He has been prepared to go to countries other steelmakers wouldn't touch," said one analyst. But his progress has not been without controversy. In 2001 he became mired in a row over a ￡125,000 donation to Labour just before winning Tony Blair's support for his successful bid for Romania's biggest steelmaker. Mr Mittal, who lives in London, is married with a son, Aditya, who will be chief financial officer of the new group, and a daughter, Vanisha. He recently paid a reported ￡70m for a house near Kensington Palace. Whether or not he overtakes Mr Abramovich in the rich list, his new company, Mittal Steel will overtake Arcelor, itself the merger of France's Usinor, Luxembourg's Arbed and Spain's Aceralia, as the world's leader in steel production. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 最近,米陀先生收到一封署名阿布的挑战书..... 上面写着...来场男人的决斗,我们以游艇来分高下 米陀依约驾着游艇来到泰晤士河畔 规则是这样的..双方一起启动..往伦敦塔桥急速驶去...谁先煞'船'或停下 谁就是*儿子 最後...阿布赢了....因为阿布不卖油给米陀..所以米陀的船中途就油料耗尽 就停住了 -- forsaledumbcuntssamedumbquestionsvirginslistenallvirginsareliarshoneyandidont knowwhatimscaredoforwhatievenenjoydullinggetmoneybutnothingturnsoutlikeyouwant ittoandintheseplaguedstreetsofpityyoucanbuyanythingor$200anyonecanconceiveagod onvideohesaboyyouwantagirlsotearoffhiscocktiehishairinbunchesfuckhimcallhimrita ifyouwantieatandidressandiwashandistillcansaythankyoupukingshakingsinkingistill standforoldladiescantshoutcantscreamhurtmyselftogetpainoutitthem247allyearlong --
