The next morning, Li Guangyu, Gan Qin and Gu Zhengsheng went to Sanan City, Selangor, Malaysia, where the Bentley Group's Taurus truck production base is built.
At the same time, we will also visit some automobile and auto parts companies, such as Proton Motors Company, which is affiliated to the Malaysian government, and Golden Lion Group.
To be honest, the auto parts market in Malaysia cannot be compared with that in Baodao. The government-affiliated Proton Motors here was only established this year, while the Yulon Group in Baodao has been developing for decades.
This time Bentley Group established a truck production base in Malaysia, and its products mainly serve Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.
As for the Baodao side, it mainly serves Baodao, Xiangjiang, Thailand, India and other places.
The senior officials of Selangor and Sanang are very happy that the Bentley Group's Taurus truck production base has been built here. Moreover, the Proton Motor Company here is discussing the car joint venture with the Bentley Group. As long as the agreement is reached, it will boost the economy of Selangor.
Very big.
The governor of Selangor held talks with Li Guangyu in the afternoon and hoped to reach an agreement with Li Guangyu on some issues.
In the state government living room, Selangor Governor Dukarim Haldi said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, you are welcome to come to Selangor as a guest. On behalf of the citizens of Selangor, I welcome your arrival."
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Halliday, thank you for your kindness. Selangor is one of the components of Malaysia's heavy industry base. It is currently the only automobile and auto parts industry base in Malaysia. It has a very important position in Malaysia. Our Bentley Group takes the production of
The base is chosen here because we hope to develop together with Selangor and create a win-win situation with Selangor."
Selangor is close to Kuala Lumpur and has very convenient transportation. Sanam City also has an international airport, which currently has flights to Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Tokyo, Xiangjiang and other places. Since it is a component of Malaysia's heavy industry base, its economic strength is very good.
The reason why the Bentley Group chooses its production base here is to consider the problem of parts matching. At present, Malaysian auto parts companies are basically here. After the Bentley Group's production base is established, it can be purchased nearby, which can save time and logistics costs.
Ducarin Halliday said: "Mr. Li, we are very happy that your Bentley Group can build the truck production base here. At the same time, our government will provide factor guarantees for the construction of your production base to ensure that your production base can be completed normally and smoothly.
.”
He hopes that the sooner Jinniu trucks are put into production, the better. This will bring a large number of orders to their local automobile matching industry and promote the development of local enterprises.
Now in Southeast Asia, except for Singapore, other countries are very weak in heavy industry. Their economic development is mainly in agriculture and light industry. He hopes to build Selangor into a well-known heavy industry area in Southeast Asia.
In this regard, relying on their own country's strength is far from enough. The arrival of the Bentley Group this time gave him hope. Jinniu trucks are currently under the influence of the Li Group in Southeast Asia, and their sales are very good. After their base here is established,
They can win at least half of the orders for Jinniu Trucks in the Southeast Asian market. For Selangor, the quantity is already quite terrifying.
Moreover, the joint venture between Proton Motors and Bentley Group is still under negotiation. As long as the agreement is reached, driven by the Taurus and the joint venture, their automotive matching industry in Selangor will be able to flourish, thereby stimulating the economic development of the entire Selangor state.
Dukarin also hopes that he can buy cars produced in his own country. At present, most cars in China are produced abroad. Their Proton Automobile Company was only established this year. The first car has not yet rolled off the assembly line, and the technology of the car is very limited.
He had a big question mark in his mind as to whether the quality issues could be accepted by the public.
The Bentley Group is different. Their major brands have been promoted in Malaysia for such a long time, and the public's acceptance is very high. Currently, all Bentley's Bentley, Jaguar, Kirin and Spirit Fox have exclusive stores in Malaysia, and
Sales are pretty good.
And last year, Yulon Kirin, a joint venture between Yulon Group and Bentley Group, also entered the Malaysian market. Because their prices are lower than Bentley Group's Kirin cars, they are welcomed by many middle- and low-income families.
And this time he also heard the news about the communication between Proton Motors and Bentley Group. Relying on the Jaguar design and R&D department, they have upgraded the Ringwagon sedan, allowing them to be somewhere between Kirin Motors and Yulon in terms of brand.
Between the prices of Kirin cars, the low-end market will be occupied by the Linghu joint venture brand.
This time, Proton Motors has a good chance of reaching a joint venture agreement with them to establish Proton Lingo Automobile Company and strive to occupy the low-end market in Asia.
Ducarin Halliday is very clear that Bentley Group Ringo Motors cannot only jointly jointly with them, but will definitely form joint ventures with other car companies to occupy the low-end automobile market in Asia.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Holiday, thank you very much for your government's care for our group. I believe that after the establishment of the Jinniu truck production base, it will definitely make a huge contribution to the local economy and live up to your hard work. We
The Bentley Group will also adjust our production in a timely manner based on market conditions. I think this production base will definitely be expanded in the future to expand the production capacity of the base."
"I am also confident in your group's products. As long as your group needs expansion, we in Selangor will definitely cooperate actively to solve your expansion problems."
Dukarin continued: "At the same time, we also welcome other groups under the Lee Group to invest in Selangor. Our Selangor economy is at the forefront of the country in Malaysia. I believe that our economic performance will get better and better in the future, and the future market will also
It’s getting better and better, and future profits are worth looking forward to. It’s very worthy for investors to come and buy property here.”
At present, almost all the industries that Li Guangyu should invest in have already entered, and he has no plans to make other investments in Selangor for the time being.
Li Guangyu responded: "Mr. Halladay, I am also very optimistic about the future development of Selangor. Our major groups under the Lee Group will focus on the development of Selangor. I believe that our cooperation will be more and more in the future."
As for Li Guangyu's temporary lack of plans to continue investing in Selangor, Dukarin Haldi did not force it. He knew that as long as Selangor's development looked better and better, capitalists like Li Guangyu would naturally flock to it.
In the evening of the same day, Dukarin Holiday attended the welcome banquet held for Li Guangyu together with senior officials of the state government and Shanan City.
Among them are the shareholders of Selangor Automobile Matching Industry Company. Dukarin Haldi invited them to attend this time, hoping that they could get to know Li Guangyu and Gu Zhengsheng.
Especially Gu Zhengsheng and Li Guangyu are too far away from them and they cannot see them at any time. The industry here still mainly communicates with Gu Zhengsheng.
