On the morning of May 8, after Li Guangyu came to the Jaguar office, he said to Zhang Ziyu, "Ziyu, please contact President Peng Xiaoli in the United States and ask her to lead the group's acquisition team to Coventry. I am going to acquire Coventry."
football club.”
Zhang Ziyu replied, "Okay Li Sheng, I will contact Ms. Peng in the afternoon and convey your instructions to her."
Li Guangyu then remembered that it was already late at night in the United States, and then said, "Just watch the time and contact me. Go and inform Ms. Du Yuemei to come to my office."
After listening to Li Guangyu's instructions, Zhang Ziyu left the office and went to find Du Yuemei.
Du Yuemei entered Li Guangyu's office and said, "Li Sheng, do you have any instructions for me?"
Li Guangyu said, "Yuemei, the Bentley Group does not have a headquarters yet. What are your plans for this? Have you considered where to build the headquarters?"
Du Yuemei said, "Li Sheng, Crewe is obviously not the ideal place for our Bentley Group headquarters. It has always been the territory of Rolls-Royce. I think it is better to be here at Jaguar. It is also conducive to the influence of our group headquarters on Jaguar."
control."
Li Guangyu also intends to establish the headquarters of the Bentley Group in Coventry, and even plans to move the Bentley Motors Company there in the future. It is better to leave it to Rolls-Royce.
Li Guangyu said, "Yuemei, in addition to the US$8.5 billion for the acquisition of Jaguar this time, US$1.5 billion will be transferred to the group's account for use in the group's operations and headquarters building."
Du Yuemei happily replied, "Okay Li Sheng, we will make the plan of the group building for you to review as soon as possible."
Two days later, Peng Xiaoli and some personnel from Xinghong Sports Group arrived in Coventry.
In the conference room of Jaguar Company, Li Guangyu said to them, "Xiaoli, you have done a good job this year. The Lakers have now entered the Western Conference semifinals and are very likely to win the championship this year. The Kings (ice hockey) are also good.
, although it is still a little far away from the championship, it has become a playoff team. I am very satisfied with your results."
Peng Xiaoli said, "Li Sheng, it is all because of you that we have achieved such results. Your series of arrangements for the Lakers have given us such strength."
Although Li Guangyu himself has some arrangements, without them to maintain the stable development of the group, the team would not be able to achieve such results.
Li Guangyu said, "Our Li family will remember your contribution. You must be aware of the matter of asking you to come here this time. I am planning to acquire Coventry's football club. Although they are not very successful in the British top league,
Okay, but fortunately we have successfully avoided relegation every year, so your task is to acquire this team."
Peng Xiaoli had already heard Zhang Ziyu talk about this before she came to England. She was very happy that the group could expand into the football industry, and the group she led could grow stronger again.
Peng Xiaoli said, "Li Sheng, Ms. Du Yuemei has provided us with some information about Coventry Football Club. We will evaluate Coventry Football Club soon and then consider the next acquisition."
Li Guangyu said, "You can just take care of it yourself. I don't know much about football. Your group needs to handle this aspect by yourself."
Peng Xiaoli said, "Don't worry Li Sheng, our group will handle it well and strive to win the Coventry Club as soon as possible."
After Li Guangyu ordered Peng Xiaoli to acquire Coventry Football Club, he stopped taking care of this matter. He still let their professionals handle it. He himself didn't even know how many famous football stars there were.
Stop trying to point fingers.
Li Guangyu visited various departments of Jaguar in the past few days, especially Jaguar's power research and development room, which is mainly engaged in the research and development of Jaguar's engines and is also the top priority of the Li Group's automotive industry in the future.
Many domestic industries in later generations suffered from the lack of strong engine technology, and often had to turn to foreign countries for help. The luxury cars of later generations were basically foreign brands, also due to insufficient technical strength.
Li Guangyu said to Du Yuemei, who had accompanied him before, "In the future, the group must pay attention to engine technology research and development and increase investment in research and development. This is the basis for us to compete for the market with other automobile groups."
"Li Sheng, we have merged Bentley's power research and development department with Jaguar, and they will provide various types of engines for various brands of cars in our group." Du Yuemei replied.
Li Guangyu has been quite leisurely these days in Coventry. He goes to Jaguar every day to learn about some affairs of Bentley Motors Group, and also pays attention to the progress of Peng Xiaoli's acquisition of Coventry Football Club. In addition,
, there is nothing to worry about.
After a week-long period, Peng Xiaoli and the others finally reached a preliminary acquisition agreement with several shareholders of Coventry Football Club, but one of the shareholders hoped to meet and discuss with Li Guangyu.
Peng Xiaoli had no choice but to report the situation to Li Guangyu.
Li Guangyu said, "Xiaoli, what other demands do they have?"
Peng Xiaoli said, "Li Sheng, we also acquired their stadium. After this period of negotiation, we acquired Coventry Football Club and Coventry Sports Center for US$46 million. This time, a shareholder who facilitated our agreement was
Want to meet you, he seems to be a supplier to Jaguar Motor Company."
Li Guangyu said, "So, did he say when to meet?"
Peng Xiaoli said, "Li Sheng, you can decide the time. I wonder if he is asking you to help him in other aspects on the condition that we acquire Coventry Football Club."
Li Guangyu didn't know what the other party came up with, so he could only agree after meeting him. If it wasn't a big problem, he could agree. If it was difficult for him to do it, he would probably change the target, and he wouldn't necessarily have to just acquire Coventry.
There are so many football teams in England, so if you get angry, you will go directly to buy Manchester United.
Li Guangyu said, "Go and inform that shareholder that I will meet him at Jaguar Motor Company at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay Li Sheng, I'll contact him right away." After Peng Xiaoli finished speaking, she left Li Guangyu's office.
Li Guangyu then told Zhang Ziyu, "Ziyu, go and notify Mr. Shane Wesley to come to my office."
"Okay." Zhang Ziyu replied.
After Shane Wesley came to Li Guangyu's office, he said, "Mr. Li, what do you want from me?"
Li Guangyu told Shane Wesley the information about the shareholder that Peng Xiaoli responded to, and asked him if he knew about this situation.
Shane Wesley said, "Li Sheng, Mr. Wiskey Converse has been our main seat supplier for Bentley Motors in recent years. The quality of their company's products is still good, but he has always been with Sampson."
We have a close relationship with Mr. Gerald. I don’t know if he wants to meet you this time because he is worried about losing our company’s business.”
Li Guangyu now knows some specific situations, and it seems that there is still hope to acquire Coventry Club.
