While Li Guangyu was busy with the British layout, his opponents did not stop, especially the current opponents in mobile communications.
Motorola began to expand overseas, and the first stop was Canada. Motorola Chairman Robert Galvin personally went to Canada to discuss mobile communications issues with the Canadian government.
In Western Europe, Logia and Ericsson are not stopping. Their group's own financial resources are not very strong, so they use technology to enter into joint ventures with some Western European countries to establish mobile communications companies in their countries to speed up their layout in this area and seize the Western European market.
Currently, Rokia Chairman Doyle Lovich is visiting Italy, while Ericsson Chairman Roy Smith is also visiting West Germany.
On May 26, Li Guangyu, Du Yuemei, Cao Weiqing, and Gan Qin attended the British Telecom Group meeting. Now that this group has been completely privatized by Li Guangyu, the group's development will no longer have so many restrictions.
The Lee Consortium is currently in a rather embarrassing position. Now is the time to decide whether to be strong or not. If it were not for several major Japanese consortiums and several major American consortiums to check each other, the development of the Lee Consortium would have been greatly affected.
Li Guangyu is obviously unwilling to give up the market in other parts of Western Europe. Now that Logia and Ericsson have begun to expand, he cannot stop.
At present, the senior government officials of British Telecom Group have left the group, leaving only the supervision team in the group to ensure British information security.
At the meeting, Gan Qin first announced some new appointments to the top management. Xu Tengjian served as executive vice president of the group, Arthur Crawford, chairman of British Mobile Communications Company, as vice president of the group, and Owen Bowie, chairman of British Telephone Company.
Serve as vice president of the group, vice presidents Tang Yan and Alan Fleming remain in their positions.
After Gan Qin read out the speech, Li Guangyu said: "Now British Telecom Group has become a wholly-owned group under Li's family, and some senior executives have also had their positions adjusted. I hope everyone can work together in the future work to develop and expand our group.
Strive to become a top communications group in Western Europe."
The group executives present immediately said that they would cooperate with Qin Yu's work and strive to develop the group well so that the group could have a place in Western Europe and even the world.
Qin Yu is the happiest person here. In the past, because the British government occupied 50% of the group's shares, this put a lot of restrictions on the group's development. For example, in terms of funds, since it was not the sole proprietorship of the Li Group, it was inconvenient for the Li Group.
Inject funds into their group at any time.
Now that it is fully owned, the group's layout will be faster, and it will be easier for their group to obtain financial support from the Li Group.
It is a pity that the main funds of the Li Group have been consumed in this acquisition. For the time being, Li Guangyu has no idea of injecting capital into the British Telecom Group.
In Western Europe, Li Guangyu still produces more of his own technology, and local groups pay to establish joint ventures, which is more conducive to expansion. In this regard, it is difficult to enter the markets of these countries if you are a solo player, especially the big countries in Western Europe.
Li Guangyu asked the telecommunications group to quickly deploy signal base stations in Britain, and at the same time allowed the group to establish its own mobile phone company when it has sufficient financial resources.
Qin Yu immediately said: "Li Sheng, please rest assured, I will supervise the construction of the signal base station and strive to put it into use in the London metropolitan area in September."
As for the mobile phone company, Qin Yu definitely hopes to establish it. Although he knows very well that once the mobile phone company grows in strength, it will inevitably become independent like the Phoenix Group. However, his performance is not small, which will be beneficial to his future work in the Li family.
The development of a consortium has very great benefits.
This time Gu Zhengsheng was transferred to England, and Qin Yu knew very well that this was to take over Du Yuemei's position.
Qin Yu and Du Yuemei had no objections to Li Guangyu's arrangement. They knew very well that Li Guangyu made this arrangement so that the development of the Li Group would not be affected.
After all, they still want a child. Once Du Yuemei becomes pregnant, she will definitely not be able to withstand such great work pressure, and Qin Yu will not let Du Yuemei bear such pressure.
Li Guangyu was able to make such preparations in advance and took great care of them. Qin Yu and Du Yuemei were also very touched by this.
Qin Yu and Du Yuemei knew very well that as long as Du Yuemei became pregnant, they would both be transferred away from England. The visit of Gu Zhengsheng and Zhao Qihui, the president of Xiangjiang Telecom Group, may be to prepare for the future.
Now the two of them are also quite worried. Both families are looking forward to Du Yuemei's pregnancy and will call to inquire about it every two days. Now they are a little afraid of answering the phone calls from their families.
Li Guangyu didn't care about Du Yuemei and Qin Yu's ideas. He would not wait until Du Yuemei was pregnant before starting emergency arrangements. That would not be conducive to the layout of the Li Group.
Zhao Qihui will be the best candidate to take over here, and the exchange of positions between the two will not affect the development of the two major groups.
As for Du Yuemei, she will take up a relatively leisurely position for the time being and wait until the future.
The reason why Li Guangyu asked the British side to develop mobile phones is to let it compete with the Phoenix Group, and also to better occupy the British and Western European markets. After all, this company is headquartered in England, even if there are some commercial issues that may appear in the future.
In terms of competition, the probability of being suppressed here is much smaller than that of the Phoenix Group.
Especially the United States, which spares no effort to suppress some high-tech companies, and some commercial sanctions are not uncommon. The Phoenix Group is located in Xiangjiang, which is more vulnerable to U.S. targeting than companies headquartered in London.
If Li Guangyu wants to realize his globalization strategy, he must leave more escape routes for himself, especially for companies that will compete with top American companies in the future. He will not put his eggs in one basket.
For example, in the future Internet industry, there will be social QQ, which Li Guangyu himself will definitely develop, and will also establish two companies in Hong Kong and London, which will be more secure.
The same is true for future e-commerce platforms. One company is responsible for the Asian market, and the other is responsible for the European market. The American side can just hold a small share of its own, but it is useless to hold too much. Without the support of the wolves on Wall Street, it will be difficult for these companies to develop and grow.
There is no group with the largest market value in the United States that does not have their shadow behind it. Li Guangyu has never thought about immigrating. He controls Internet companies in the United States. The development of these companies will definitely be greatly reduced.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu and Du Yuemei discussed that Li Guangyu would leave London tomorrow, ending his trip to England.
Next, Li Guangyu will go to Paris again. Zhao Qihui has concluded negotiations with the Paris government. Xiangjiang Mobile Communications Company will jointly establish a joint venture with the Paris government. Xiangjiang Mobile Communications Company will provide technology and part of the cash to jointly establish Paris Mobile Communications Company with the government.
Each party holds 50% of the shares, and Xiangjiang Mobile Communications Company is responsible for the operation.
Such an agreement could be reached this time thanks to Paris Mayor Chirac. Without his support, such an agreement would not have been possible.
In addition, Chen Linwen has also completed the registration of Hengyu Supermarket in Paris and plans to open six supermarkets in Paris, allowing Hengyu Supermarket Group to enter Carrefour's home base and preventing Carrefour from expanding in other regions with peace of mind.
