Time passed slowly, and it was almost the end of September. In the past few months, Li Guangyu and his family went to California to watch the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympics. At the same time, they made arrangements for the affairs there, especially Tianyu Investment, which was managed by Liang Botao.
The company's U.S. branch is making key arrangements.
Li Guangyu didn't know much about high-tech companies in the United States in his previous life, but he knew some very well-known companies very well.
Just this year, another well-known company was established. The famous Cisco was officially established in this year, and the founder of this company is a teacher at the University of California. How could Li Guangyu want to miss this company?
In the last decade of the 20th century, Cisco's stock market value was closely catching up with Microsoft's. Li Guangyu asked Liang Botao to pay close attention to the company, try to get more shares of the company, and transfer part of the shares to Goldman Sachs when it was suppressed.
and Merrill Lynch, a California-based consortium.
Li Guangyu knew that he controlled most of the shares and Cisco would not be able to develop rapidly in the United States. He first took part of the shares and then sold them to Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch to earn part of the price difference. At the same time, with the support of these two companies, Cisco could develop
better.
In addition to this, Li Guangyu also went to London in early September. Du Yuemei was pregnant and was no longer suitable for such a high-intensity and high-pressure job.
When Li Guangyu was on the 1st of the lunar month, he held a high-level meeting of the British Telecommunications Group in London. All managers at the ninth level and above of the Li Group in Western Europe attended this meeting.
At the meeting, Ganqin announced the appointments of various groups.
"Effectively, Ms. Du Yuemei will no longer serve as the head of Western Europe of the Lee Group, and will no longer serve as chairman and chief executive of the Bentley Group's board of directors."
Du Yuemei was already prepared in her mind, and Li Guangyu also communicated with her personally, so she had no objection to this change of position.
Gan Qin then announced, "From now on, Mr. Gu Zhengsheng will serve as the person in charge of Western Europe of Li's Industry, with full authority to handle Western European affairs."
Gan Qin then announced the job adjustments one by one. Zhang Ziyu resigned from his current position as Executive Vice President, Asia Affairs and President, and took over the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bentley Group, responsible for all affairs of the Bentley Group.
Qin Yu resigned as chairman and chief executive of British Telecom Group, and was replaced by Zhao Qihui, president of Xiangjiang Communications Group.
The position of Executive Vice President of the Bentley Group is held by Vice President Jesri Johnson. The President of Bentley Group's Asia Affairs is concurrently held by Vice President Zhang Minqi. Xiang Xianli, General Manager of the Administration Department, serves as the Group Vice President, and Ren Hongxia serves as the General Manager of the Group Administration Department.
After Gan Qin made the announcement, Li Guangyu said, "In the past few years, under the leadership of Ms. Du Yuemei, our Li industry has achieved breakthrough development in Western Europe. Now Ms. Du is no longer suitable for the current high-intensity position due to physical reasons.
work, so we will make such an adjustment, so you don’t need to make too many guesses.”
"Mr. Gu Zhengsheng has rich management experience. He once served as the person in charge of our Baodao region and the person in charge of Southeast Asia. I hope everyone can cooperate with Mr. Gu's work."
For several years, these people have been working under the leadership of Du Yuemei. Li Guangyu needs to emphasize this specifically to prevent some senior officials from ignoring the new person in charge after Du Yuemei leaves.
Senior executives such as Zhang Ziyu and Zhao Qihui responded that they would cooperate with Gu Zhengsheng's work and lead the group to achieve better development.
Gu Zhengsheng said, "Li Sheng, I will manage our industry in Western Europe well and live up to your trust in me."
Gu Zhengsheng feels that he is very lucky. Some of the vice presidents who had higher positions than him in the past are still vice presidents of the group in recent years, and he has stepped from a subsidiary general manager to his current high position. In addition to his own ability,
, Li Guangyu’s importance to him is the biggest factor.
And this also has to be said to be my first opportunity. If I hadn't been assigned to Baodao as the vice president of Jiayi Group to take charge of affairs there, I wouldn't have had a series of subsequent promotions.
You must know that Western Europe is a very important region for the Lee Group. If Greater China is first, this place is definitely second. Even if the development in Southeast Asia is much larger than here, when it comes to status, here is the first place.
Much higher than in Southeast Asia.
This time he was able to take charge of affairs in such an important area. He knew that he was also lucky.
He knew that if Gan Qinglin wasn't more senior than Du Yuemei and it was Gan Qinglin who came over this time, it wouldn't be his turn.
He now only hopes that the Li Group's enterprises in Western Europe can achieve rapid development under his leadership, so as to prove his ability and that he is qualified to hold this position.
Li Guangyu said, "At present, our most important task in Western Europe is to enter the market of mobile communications in these regions. Now operations have begun in London. Phoenix Group's current business is not bad. Ding Sheng, tell me about this."
Sales situation over the past few days.”
Phoenix Group attaches great importance to the British market, and Vice President Ding Jincheng came to London in person.
After listening to Li Guangyu's instructions, he said, "Li Sheng, the day before yesterday, British Mobile Company was officially put into operation. Our first direct store in the London metropolitan area and British Mobile Company's agent sales. According to statistics, it has been sold in the past two days.
After being released on Taiwan, the market response has been very good.”
Li Guangyu did not feel complacent about such results. This is their home court, and such results cannot be said to be very good.
Li Guangyu asked, "How is the situation with Motorola and Logia?"
Tang Yan, vice president of British Telecom Group, said: "Li Sheng, as of last night, the number of mobile phone users on the Internet is, that is, our Phoenix mobile phone accounts for half of the market sales, and the other half is occupied by Rockya and Motorola."
Regarding such data, Li Guangyu couldn't say much. The quality of the three mobile phones is almost the same, and the prices are also similar. Having such a market share in England has shown that the Li Group's many years of operation here have not been in vain.
.
Li Guangyu said, "Ding Sheng, your company should increase the promotion of mobile phones, let more citizens understand our products, and increase the share of our mobile phones in the British market. At the same time, we should pay attention to the French, West German, Italian markets, and France.
We are jointly establishing mobile communications companies here, while Logia and Ericsson are joint ventures in West Germany and Italy. Our influence in those two countries is limited, so you must make arrangements early."
In Western Europe, there are three companies, namely Lee's Consortium, Rokia, and Ericsson, competing for the mobile communications market. In Japan, South Korea, Baodao, Xiangjiang, and Southeast Asia, the Lee's Consortium is conquering cities. In North America, companies within the United States are leading the way.
The joint venture mobile communication company in Baodao has been put into operation, and the joint venture company in Singapore is stepping up the layout of signal base stations and is expected to be put into use by the end of the month.
The Japanese side is dominated by two major consortiums, Sumitomo and Mitsui. Xiangjiang Communications Group only holds 0 shares in the Japanese joint venture, Mitsui Consortium holds 0 shares, and Sumitomo Consortium also holds 0 shares.
As Li Guangyu seizes the market on a large scale, he also accelerates the development of the mobile communications market. Ericsson, Logia, and several companies in the United States have accelerated their external layout, hoping to gain an advantage in this round of market competition.
Ding Jincheng will be stationed in Western Europe in the past two years and will be responsible for the development of the Phoenix Group's market here. In addition to having an advantage over Logia and Motorola in England, the Li Group has no advantages at all in other regions, especially in
In West Germany, the mobile communications company there is a joint venture with Logia.
If he wants to occupy a dominant position in Western Europe, he can only work hard on publicity for now. Several mobile phones have similar prices and quality. Now he can only fight for fame. This is what he will focus on next.
