Three days after the child was born, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing left the Sanatorium and Hospital with the little guy and returned to their home.
In the past few days since he brought the little guy home, Li Guangyu's home is no longer as deserted as it was in the past few years. Many people come to see the little guy every day. Especially Li Guangyu's mother-in-law, who comes here every day.
, help Cao Weiqing take care of Li Songtao.
The employees of the Li Group are also very happy these days. Li Guangyu has a successor. The senior management of the Li Group are happy for Li Guangyu. Ordinary employees are happy because Li Guangyu gave them a bonus in order to celebrate the birth of Li Songtao.
monthly salary.
At nine o'clock in the morning on September 18, in Li Guangyu's office in Jiayi Building, Li Guangyu asked Zhang Ziyu: "Ziyu, have you arranged for the group's vehicles to go to Kai Tak Airport? When can Ms. Du Yuemei arrive?"
Zhang Ziyu got along very well with Du Yuemei when they were in England. They haven't seen each other for almost half a year now. This time Du Yuemei returned to Hong Kong. Zhang Ziyu was also very happy. After confirming the time for Du Yuemei and others to arrive at Kai Tak Airport, Zhang Ziyu immediately made arrangements.
The vehicles were greeted.
Zhang Ziyu replied: "Li Sheng, I have already made arrangements. I guess they will soon arrive at our Jiayi Building now."
This time Du Yuemei came to Xiangjiang, firstly to report to Li Guangyu the development of the Bentley Group in the past six months, and secondly, to go to the mainland via Xiangjiang to communicate with the mainland about the entry of the major brands of cars under the Bentley Group into the mainland.
Li Guangyu said: "Ziyu, tell the front desk to bring Ms. Du Yuemei to my office after she arrives."
"Okay Li Sheng, I'm going to tell the front desk right now." After Zhang Ziyu finished speaking, he left Li Guangyu's office.
Zhang Ziyu had just left Li Guangyu's office when he saw Du Yuemei walking over.
Zhang Ziyu said to Du Yuemei: "Sister Yuemei, are you here so soon?"
Du Yuemei said: "Zi Yu, you were at Li Sheng's place just now. No wonder no one answered the call you made at the front desk. I originally asked the front desk to inform you to ask Li Sheng if he had time. When I saw you didn't answer the phone, I came up myself.
Already."
Zhang Ziyu said: "Sister Yuemei, Li Sheng was asking about you just now. After asking you to come over, he went directly to the office. I was about to give instructions to the front desk, but I didn't expect you to have already arrived."
"Zi Yu, then I'm going to see Li Sheng first. Let's have dinner together and have a good chat," Du Yuemei said.
"Okay, Sister Yuemei, go in quickly." Zhang Ziyu replied.
Du Yuemei walked to Li Guangyu's office and knocked on the door. After hearing Li Guangyu's voice inviting him in, she walked into Li Guangyu's office.
When Li Guangyu saw Du Yuemei walking in, he immediately said: "Yuemei, this really means that Cao Cao has arrived. I just asked you about it, and you have already arrived."
Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, thank you for your concern. The reason why I am so fast is because the group's vehicles are waiting for us at Kai Tak Airport."
After Li Guangyu asked Du Yuemei to sit down, he began to listen to Du Yuemei's report on the situation of the Bentley Group during this period.
Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, our Jaguar is currently relatively stable in North America, which has stopped the decline in sales before we took over Jaguar. In Asia, due to the influence of you and the Li Group, our Jaguar sales in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, Bao
Islands and other places have opened their sales markets.”
Li Guangyu is very clear about the situation of the Bentley Group in Asia. The Asian branch of the Bentley Group is in Hong Kong, and Li Guangyu can keep abreast of the developments here at any time.
Due to Li Guangyu's influence and Cao Wenjin's influence, Jaguar Motors, owned by Li Guangyu, has been purchased by the government in Baodao, Thailand, and Malaysia, and has been used as a special vehicle for government leaders in several places and as a reception vehicle for guests.
Affected by this, Jaguar's popularity in these regions has increased significantly, and its share of the luxury car market has also increased. And this year's new Bentley Mulsanne, due to Li Guangyu's use, has become a popular model in Xiangjiang, Lisboa, Baodao, and Southeast Asia.
Many Chinese families in China give priority to Bentley Mulsanne when purchasing new cars. Now in these areas, Bentley can not only surpass Rolls-Royce, but can at least be on par with Rolls-Royce.
Du Yuemei continued: "Li Sheng, currently due to Jaguar's rising sales in Asia, our production capacity is insufficient. We now need to expand our production lines to relieve this pressure. Do you have any plans?"
Li Guangyu has already thought about this. Now, in order to supply the Asian market, it is more suitable for Jaguar to build its production base in Baodao. The time is not too ripe on the mainland. Regardless of Du Yuemei's visit to inspect and negotiate this time, Jaguar has established a production base in the mainland.
The production base may have to wait a few years, and it is still a joint venture. In the previous life, whether the cooperation between Volkswagen and SAIC or the cooperation between Chrysler and BAIC, they only reached an agreement in 1984, and they were all joint ventures, each holding 50% of the shares.
Li Guangyu said: "Our production base in Asia is currently located in Baodao. After inspecting the mainland market, you can go to Baodao and communicate with President Sun Yunxuan about this matter. I think he is willing to support Jaguar in
A production base was established there.”
In Du Yuemei's plan for the Bentley Group, she also plans to place the new production base in Baodao, and also plans to place the production base of the new brand Kirin Automobile here to prepare for the Asian market.
"Okay Li Sheng, I will communicate with Dean Sun then. At the same time, our Kirin Automobile has started trial production in England, and we also lack a production base in Asia. I intend to establish a production base in Baodao with Jaguar.
I also hope Li Sheng can approve it," Du Yuemei said.
Li Guangyu is quite concerned about Kirin Automobile. In the mainland market, luxury cars such as Jaguar and Bentley do not have a big market now. In the next ten years, Kirin Automobile will mainly be relied on to conquer cities and territories. Only after the mainland economy is developing,
About the time we enter the 21st century, Jaguar and Bentley will enter the mainland market in a big way.
Li Guangyu asked: "Yuemei, how is the quality of the Kirin cars you have produced now? Compared with the same type of Volkswagen, is there a big gap between us?"
Du Yuemei was very confident about Kirin Automobile. She said: "Li Sheng, our Kirin Automobile uses the engine developed by Jaguar itself. Although the power is lower than our Jaguar, compared with the same type of Volkswagen, we
The power is still stronger than theirs, and at the same time, in terms of appearance design, we also absorbed some elements of Jaguar’s appearance, making it look more youthful and fashionable than Volkswagen’s appearance.”
Li Guangyu said: "I have no objection to you establishing a production base in Asia. When Kirin Automobile is launched, your group must do a good job in publicity. For mid-range and low-end cars, we must rely on quantity to drive the group's profits. In this regard,
I cannot do without your group's publicity work, and I will also ask the major groups here to cooperate with you. At the same time, all the company cars in our group will purchase Kirin cars in the future."
Du Yuemei said happily: "Li Sheng, we will pay attention to this aspect of work and strive to open up the markets of Kirin Automobile in various places as soon as possible."
Du Yuemei knows the purchasing power of the Li Group. Group purchases do not count, but more are the employees of the group. Once Kirin Auto is launched, those employees who need to buy cars will give priority to their own group's products. As long as the quality of their Kirin Auto
No problem, if the price is moderate, you can basically win orders from these people.
Just like Jaguar today, many people at the top of the Li Group have bought Jaguar cars, and the publicity for Jaguar is also extremely huge. Just like Japan, because Gan Qinglin and others used Jaguar cars, it still became famous in Japan
It has achieved a certain effect, and sales there have improved somewhat compared to before.
