The major executives have no objections to Li Guangyu's desire to participate more actively. Only with local representatives will their products be less likely to be targeted. The Li Group has never thought of interfering in the politics of any country.
, they just hope to have a fair business environment.
At present, the best choice is in Western Europe, especially in England. The Li Group has a very good foundation in England. In the future, through continuous layout and support of capital and projects, the Li Group will expand its presence in Western European countries and parts of Southeast Asia.
Influence in national parliaments and governments.
At the same time, we must also focus on the layout of Australia and Canada, so that the Li Group can remain invincible.
Du Yuemei gave everyone a detailed introduction to the situation in England, focusing on the Conservative Party, which is also a political party that has a very good relationship with the Lee Group.
Since the acquisition of the Bentley Group, the Lee Group has established a very good friendship with the Conservative Party. Although there have been some disputes over some interests, overall they are getting along very well.
Especially now that the Conservative Party is the ruling party, the Lee Group has set an example for their economic reforms. Whether it is Bentley Group, British Telecom Group, and later Xingyuan Group, they have not only reduced the financial pressure on the British government, but also provided local services.
Increased tax revenue and jobs.
During the change of office, the Lee Group also did its part, and the Conservative Party also continued to serve as the ruling party in the new term. It is completely possible for them to establish a long-term friendship with the British Conservative Party.
After Du Yuemei finished speaking, Li Guangyu said to Wang Hui: "Mr. Wang, in addition to expanding the staff of your political research office in the next period of time, you will focus on Western Europe, especially in England, France, Italy, and Spain.
In places like England, the focus is on the Conservative Party, and in France, the party of the current Paris Mayor Chirac is the party. As for other regions, you should also study and choose the one that is beneficial to us to support."
Wang Hui immediately said: "Li Sheng, I will complete the expansion of the Political Research Office within this month. By then there will be six research groups below, namely North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan and South Korea, and Greater China.
Due to the nature of my previous work, I will temporarily serve as the research group leader of the Greater China region, and several other regional group leaders still need your support."
The heads of the research groups in each region are very important. They must be familiar with the political and economic environment of these regions and have a good understanding of the large forces and groups in these regions, so that they can propose and formulate feasible opinions and plans for the consortium.
The Zheng Research Office is very important to the Li Group, and Wang Hui does not want to arrange all the personnel by himself. This will not be conducive to his future development in the Li Group. Li Guangyu will arrange several leaders of the political research group, which will be beneficial to Li.
Guangyu has control over the political research office, so he doesn't need to worry about Li Guangyu being suspicious of him.
As for his concurrent role as the leader of the Greater China Political Research Group, it has no role. There is currently no room for them to play in the Greater China region, and they can only provide some advice to the consortium on the economy.
Because he has worked in the government, Wang Hui is very sensitive to some things. His political research office is originally an independent agency. If he arranges everything by himself, he is worried that many rumors that are not good for him will appear. As a subordinate, a
It has always been a taboo for the department to be staffed by his own people. If he wanted to work in the Li Group all the time, he would never let such a thing happen.
Li Guangyu thought about it and said: "You don't have to worry too much. Since I have placed you in this position, it shows my trust in you. If you have someone who is trustworthy and capable, as long as he is willing, don't worry.
Recruited to work in the Political Research Office, we are in urgent need of political talents like you."
"Li Sheng, you also know that I have been working in Baodao, and I don't know much about the specific conditions in Western Europe, North America and other places. It is difficult for me to find talents in this field for a while. I really need your support in this area.
Otherwise, the normal operating hours of our political research office will have to be postponed."
Li Guangyu believed that Wang Hui must know some talents. Baodao used to have overseas agencies in many countries, and they knew the local politics and economy very well. It must be a lie that Wang Hui couldn't find anyone.
However, Wang Hui insisted on making arrangements by himself, and Li Guangyu did not continue to refuse, so that he could better control the political research office and not let Wang Hui dominate the organization alone.
He said to Gan Qin: "Inform Gu Zhengsheng, Gan Qinglin, Peng Xiaoli, and Qin Jiao and ask them to recruit several local political and economic analysis talents to help our company develop better."
After discussing the issue of the Political Research Office, Li Guangyu and several senior executives focused on the development issues for next year. Seeing that December is about to pass and the new year is coming, how will the Li Group develop next year and where will its focus be?
They need to decide.
Considering the sudden increase in tariffs in the United States, it is everyone's consensus to suspend expansion in the U.S. market. Rather than struggling in the U.S. market, it is better to focus on other regions, which can bring more benefits to the Lee Group.
Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, I suggest that next year we focus on Western Europe, Canada and Australia, especially Australia and Canada. There are currently no competitors over there. Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all Commonwealth countries, which are very suitable for us.
When it comes to expansion, Western Europe has many large groups and consortiums with industries similar to ours, and the pressure to expand there is not much less."
Du Yuemei has different opinions on Yuan Tianfan's proposal, mainly on the issue of Western Europe. Du Yuemei believes that the current focus of the Li Group should be on Western Europe. This is a very huge market. If Western Europe is taken as a whole, it will be the second largest market.
The market potential is no worse than that of the United States.
The most important point is that Du Yuemei hopes that after the Western European market is stabilized, the Li Group can enter the Eastern European market in the future. She believes that Eastern European countries cannot remain so closed. Once these countries carry out economic reforms, opportunities for the Li Group will come.
.
Du Yuemei, who has been stationed in Western Europe for a long time in the past few years, knows the situation in Europe better than anyone here. She feels that Eastern Europe is at the end of its rope economically and there will definitely be big changes in the future.
Mainland China has made very good achievements in reform and opening up in recent years. This successful experience is worth learning from those countries. As long as they also carry out economic reforms, there will be huge business opportunities. Du Yuemei does not want the Li Group to miss this opportunity.
Later, Chen Dong also expressed his opinion. He believed that the current focus of the Li Group's development should be in the Greater China region, especially the mainland. The mainland's reform and opening up is constantly accelerating. The Li Group must make arrangements early to be able to obtain rich profits in the future.
The benefits and the initial investment are well worth it.
Moreover, the Lee Group in Greater China will not encounter such targeted policies in the United States. Only by being deeply rooted in Greater China can the Lee Group have the confidence to compete with other groups.
Qing Hong and Zhou Xiaoning also put forward their own opinions. They are responsible for the legal affairs and finance of the consortium respectively, and they have not made it clear where they will focus their development next year.
However, from their professional perspective, they are more supportive of the continued and stable development of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. These places are currently the fastest growing economies in the world. The Lee Group should deeply explore the markets in these regions and let these regions
The market has become the basic market of the Li Group.
Wang Hui joined the Li Consortium not long ago and did not express his own opinions this time. He hoped that the Li Consortium would focus on Baodao, but he knew that a Baodao market was far from being able to meet the development needs of the Li Consortium.
Several executives present had their own opinions. Where the Li Group will develop next year, they can only wait for Li Guangyu to make a decision.
