At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jindong arrived at Wheelock Building. He learned from the old man that Li Guangyu had been working in Wheelock Building for more than ten years.
When he arrived at the front desk on the first floor, Zhang Jindong said to the front desk staff: "Hello, I am Zhang Jindong, chairman of Shulin Electric. This is my business card. I am here to visit Mr. Li Guangyu. I hope you can
Report to the superior?"
"Mr. Zhang, do you have an appointment?"
"There is no appointment, please report it to the superior?"
"Then please leave your phone number and I will report it to the assistant office. If Li Sheng has time to meet with you, the assistant office will contact you by phone?"
Although Zhang Jindong wanted to meet Li Guangyu immediately, he knew that this was impossible. As soon as he entered the door, the security guard told him that he could only go to the front desk area. Without the guidance of the front desk staff, he could not go to other areas of the building.
Those who violate the rules will be thrown out of the building by security guards.
After the front desk staff filled in the information, Zhang Jindong once again asked the front desk staff to report to the assistant office before turning around and preparing to leave Wheelock Building.
At this moment, several staff members at the front desk said in unison: "Hello, Miss Liu."
After responding to the greetings from the front desk staff, Ms. Liu said to Zhang Jindong: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Liu Xiaohui, assistant to Ms. Gan Qin, assistant director of the office. If you have time, Li Sheng would like to meet with you."
Zhang Jindong did not expect that this was the future wife of the eldest son that the old people in the park were talking about. She was really good-looking and had a pretty good temperament.
What surprised him was how Li Guangyu knew he was here. The information had just been filled in, so the information from the Li Group was a bit too powerful.
He knew that now was not the time to think about this, it was important to see Li Guangyu now.
"Miss Liu, I am free to meet Li Sheng anytime."
"Please come with me."
After following Liu Xiaohui to the assistant's office on the top floor, he met Gan Qin, who was said to have been Li Guangyu's assistant for nearly twenty years. After her, this assistant had never been replaced again.
Li Guangyu's first assistant is also the current president of Lebao Group, his second assistant is the president of Kowloon Group, and his third assistant is even more legendary, a British baron, the governor of Bentley Island, and the president of Bentley Group.
Gan Qin is the fourth assistant with the lowest diploma, but he has served as the assistant for the longest time. It is said that this person once saved Li Guangyu's life. As for whether there is any other unknown relationship between the two, Zhang Jindong is not sure.
Gan Qin said a few words to Zhang Jindong and then left for Li Guangyu's office.
Liu Xiaowen brought him a cup of tea and said to him: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, but please wait a moment. Mr. Liu Luanxiong just came here with Mr. Huang Guangyu, the chairman of Guomei Electric Appliances."
Zhang Jindong responded: "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry."
But at this time, he had countless thoughts in his mind. He knew where Huang Guangyu's hometown was, and there were more than one person from the Chaoshan area in the Xiangjiang Consortium. Huang Guangyu came to see Li Guangyu through a fellow villager at this time. Zhang Jindong also guessed what his thoughts were.
Impenetrable.
After about half an hour of touching, Gan Qin came over and said, "Mr. Zhang, please come with me."
When he came out, he happened to see Liu Luanxiong and Huang Guangyu walking towards the elevator entrance in the corridor.
When he entered Li Guangyu's office, he saw a young man in his thirties and a lady in her thirties sitting in the reception area.
Following Gan Qin to the reception area, Gan Qin said: "Li Sheng, madam, this is Zhang Jindong."
Li Guangyu said aloud: "Mr. Zhang, please sit down."
Zhang Jindong was quite surprised by how young Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing were. He already knew that Cao Weiqing was forty years old and Li Guangyu was thirty-nine years old. Now they looked about thirty.
After Zhang Jindong sat down, Gan Qin poured him a cup of tea, and then sat down on the sofa to the left of Cao Weiqing.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Zhang, you arrived in Xiangjiang and walked around, and you specifically asked for news about me. Now you have come to Wheelock Building. I wonder what you have to do?"
Zhang Jindong had just understood that the Li Consortium was so huge and it didn't have an intelligence agency. His every move in Xiangjiang in the past two days was probably under the surveillance of the Li Consortium's intelligence personnel, otherwise it would have been impossible.
As soon as he arrived at Wheelock Building, Li Guangyu wanted to see him.
Zhang Jindong responded: "Li Sheng, Shulin has been my hard work for ten years. Under the pressure of the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group, it is now in turmoil and is in danger of destruction at any time. I hope to have a discussion with the shareholders behind the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group.
I hope to give Shulin a way to survive, so I learned about the news about Li Sheng. I have no other malicious intentions."
Li Guangyu said: "It is normal for the business world to have competition. As companies develop, some will inevitably go bankrupt. The market is so big, and new companies are constantly coming in. No market can support these demands, and some companies will inevitably be
Elimination, this is the law of the market.
If possible, who wouldn't want to do a monopoly business? Only in this way can we make money while lying down."
Although Li Guangyu said this, Zhang Jindong knew that there was still room for relaxation between the two parties, otherwise Li Guangyu would not meet him.
Now Li Guangyu will definitely want to see how he expresses his position, and will decide whether to continue to suppress Shulin Electric based on his response.
"Li Sheng, I also know that your relationship with American capital is not very good, and 15% of Shulin's shares are currently controlled by investment companies such as Merrill Lynch and Bank of America.
But the absolute controlling stake in this company is still in my hands. Shulin will never become a US-controlled company, nor will it become the vanguard of the US consortium against you.
Moreover, in the company’s next round of financing, Shulin very much welcomes Tianyu Investment Company, Hong Kong Bank, Hsinchu Commercial Bank and other investment companies to join Shulin to promote mutual benefit and win-win results for everyone.”
Li Guangyu didn't care too much about Shulin. He just wanted to see how Shulin, one of the two dominant players in home appliance retail in the past life, was doing at the helm.
He had just communicated with Huang Guangyu, chairman of Guomei, that Guomei would focus on developing the northern region, while South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group would focus on the southern region.
Shulin, unless he develops to the north, will only be the rival of the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group.
If Zhang Jindong is good enough, Li Guangyu won't mind letting Shu Lin go and letting him lead Shu Lin to fight Guomei in the north. In this way, the South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group market will be more stable.
Li Guangyu said: "It is Shulin Electric's freedom to introduce any capital to Shulin Electric. We do not have any deep hatred against American capital, but there is less cooperation. Now everyone is advocating economic globalization. For example, Chunghwa Electric's sales in the United States are very
good."
If he hadn't made some inquiries, he would really agree with this. According to his knowledge, Xiangjiang Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways have not purchased a single Boeing aircraft since 1984.
It is also difficult for Phoenix Mobile Phone, Phoenix Computer, and Oriental Semiconductor products owned by the Li Group to enter the U.S. market. Even Fetion and Zhuque Software are the same.
Similarly, in many areas such as Treasure Island, Xiangjiang, the Commonwealth, and Southeast Asia, many American industries were encircled and suppressed by the Lee Consortium, Japanese consortium, and Western European consortium, causing heavy losses to American industries.
The competition between the Lee Group and the American Group started in 1984 and is still going on today. It is estimated that this battle will last for hundreds of years. Both sides are extremely powerful and no one can do anything to the other.
During the subsequent conversation, he realized that Li Guangyu wanted him to abandon the East China market and enter the Northern market. Although Zhang Jindong wanted to refuse in his heart, the cruel reality prevented him from saying it.
Now there is still a glimmer of hope to enter the northern market. If he continues to stick to East China, Shulin may have no last hope.
