At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu met in the office with Zhang Ziyu, who had just returned to Xiangjiang from Shuangqing.
After several days of inspection and negotiation, Zhang Ziyu has reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Changan Manufacturing Company, and now Changan Manufacturing Company will report to the central government on cooperation issues.
If it's quick, it can be approved within a month, and Bentley Group and Changan Manufacturing Company can start detailed discussions on the following matters.
As for Guo Fengtao, he is still in Chengdu, negotiating on the expressway from Chengdu to Shuangqing via Guocheng.
This expressway will pass through several areas, and the route direction requires a lot of verification for various plans. Guo Fengtao will not be able to return to Xiangjiang for a while.
Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, the demand for buses in the western region is far less than that in the eastern region, especially South China and East China. If we are limited to establishing a joint venture with Chang'an Manufacturing Company there, it will not be too big.
It will help us occupy the mainland market."
Li Guangyu is naturally aware of some of the disadvantages there, but it is not impossible to solve this aspect. Which domestic automobile group in later generations does not have several production bases? As long as Changan Hengtong Bus becomes famous, they can establish one in the eastern region.
The new production base serves the market here.
Li Guangyu told Zhang Ziyu his thoughts so that she didn't have to worry about it.
Zhang Ziyu felt relieved when she saw that Li Guangyu had a complete plan.
The automobile market in mainland China has not yet opened up. At present, the FAW Kirin sedan jointly owned by Bentley Group and mainland China, except for government procurement, has no purchasers at all.
At present, there is only a little sales volume in Guangdong Province. The buyers in these places are not people from the mainland. They are mainly businessmen from Xiangjiang and companies in the mainland.
Now on the mainland, mainly Xiangjiang businessmen are investing, and the Japanese business community is also making some investments on the mainland.
The roads in these two areas are driven on the left like in England, while the mainland, like the United States and Taiwan, drives on the right. Therefore, after the vehicles on the Xiangjiang side pass by, some drivers are not used to it.
The rudders of FAW Kirin's cars are opposite to those of the Xiangjiang side. In addition, the Xiangjiang side's vehicles used to have to go through a lot of procedures. For the sake of convenience, these mainland companies and senior executives are also willing to buy FAW Kirin cars.
Zhang Ziyu estimates that it will take another three to five years for the mainland's auto market to truly develop, and that it will take more than ten or twenty years for it to reach its peak.
Li Guangyu said: "On the mainland, just keep following up. There is no problem with the sales of passenger cars there. You must know that each province and region has its own transportation team and company. As long as they have a few provinces willing to purchase
Our passenger cars, our sales will be very scary."
Zhang Ziyu has also made a special effort to learn about the long-distance transportation company in Shuangqing and their urban bus company in the past few days. Whether it is a bus used for long-distance or a bus used for urban bus transportation, it is still relatively backward at present. She believes that
Changan Hengtong buses will definitely be welcomed by the locals after they come out.
Moreover, these companies are owned by the government. Bentley Group and Changan Manufacturing Company are joint ventures to establish production bases in their local areas. They will naturally support the development of the companies and will give priority to Changan Hengtong buses for procurement in this area.
Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, I will continue to pay attention to the progress of Changan Manufacturing Company. I believe that cooperation can be reached soon. Now Changan Manufacturing Company is looking forward to transformation and developing towards the automobile industry. They have also developed a
The van, it’s just a little unsatisfactory.”
Li Guangyu knew that Changan Group would still be very powerful in the future, and its cooperation with the American Ford Company would be quite good in the future. Changan Ford would still be very famous.
Our car brand has already cooperated with FAW, and we have no plans to cooperate with Continental on cars for the time being. We can only choose a joint venture in passenger cars.
Li Guangyu put the mainland affairs aside for the time being. He said to Zhang Ziyu: "You have a good rest these two days. In a few days, you will go to Baodao and Malaysia to communicate about the problems of our bus production base and the main market here in Baodao."
It is Baodao, Xiangjiang, Philippines and Thailand, while the Malaysian base serves Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia."
Li Guangyu currently wants to strengthen his occupation of the Southeast Asian market. If he does not make arrangements earlier, he will face greater pressure after the battle between the Japanese consortium and the American consortium is over.
The market share of Li Guangyu Bentley Group in North America continues to decline. This is due to the weakness of the market. Second, the three major Japanese car companies are fighting fiercely with the three major American car companies in the U.S. market, and the price war is quite fierce.
Li Guangyu didn't want to get involved. He put more energy into the Southeast Asian market, which was just emerging, to occupy the market here and avoid the current vortex of the battle between Japanese consortiums and American consortiums.
Nowadays, the United States is still the world's largest automobile consumer market, so several major Japanese automobile groups are thinking about competing with American automobile groups in the United States. Now the major Japanese consortiums are full of self-confidence and do not think that the United States is at all
How powerful is the consortium?
As soon as Zhang Ziyu heard this, he knew that Li Guangyu was going to deepen the relationship with Baodao and Malaysia this time, especially Malaysia. It seemed that Li Guangyu was planning to build that place into the second Baodao market.
This year, the Lee Group has continued to increase investment there, with banks and supermarkets settling in one after another. Heung Kong Air Transport Group has also established a base in its capital, Kuala Lumpur, and Heung Kong Aircraft Engineering Company has jointly established a civil aircraft maintenance company with the Malay government.
Now let the Bentley Group also go there to establish a production base, let the strength and influence of the Lee Consortium in Malaysia continue to rise, and with the connections of the Lee Consortium and its allies there, the Lee Consortium will develop there in the future.
It went quite smoothly.
Especially after the Pasbo family was eliminated by the Lee Consortium, it played a role in Malaysia, and some local forces were reluctant to become enemies of the Lee Consortium.
Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, if the matter is urgent, I can go to Baodao now to negotiate with Dean Sun and the others. I believe they will be very supportive of the construction of our bus production base."
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious. You'd better take a good rest. It's hard to travel around these days. After all, Shuangqing is different from Xiangjiang. The progress on Baodao will be faster. As for the Malaysian side, just talk slowly.
There’s no need to rush.”
Li Guangyu in Malaysia is not in a hurry. He arranged for Zhang Ziyu to visit and communicate this time just as a preliminary step. Next year, he will visit several Southeast Asian countries that are currently the main markets of the Li Group, and Malaysia is one of the areas he is most interested in. He will definitely be there by then.
There will be some investment agreements signed, and this is an investment prepared by Li Guangyu.
The relationship between the Aoun family and the Li Consortium is quite good. Alat Aoun will participate in the re-election next year. Li Guangyu very much hopes that he can be re-elected. This will be very beneficial to the development of the Li Consortium there, and these
