Chapter eight hundred and ninety seventh painting cake
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Guangyu finally chose the plan of paying equal attention to Western Europe, Australia and Canada, focusing on developing the hotel, communications, mobile phone and computer industries in Western Europe. These pressures in Western Europe are quite small and will not offend the British, French, German, Italian and Western European countries.
Strong country.
In addition to these industries, Australia and Canada will also focus on developing automobiles, supermarkets, energy, and industries.
The European Community is getting bigger and bigger, and the EU will be formally established in a few years. Li Guangyu hopes that some of his high-tech products can occupy the Western European market in advance, and his Internet company can also occupy the Western European market in the future, so as to suppress the American Internet.
The development of the company in the world.
As for retail supermarkets and automobile groups, Li Guangyu has now chosen to give up temporarily to prevent the Li Group from being jointly targeted by the United States and Western Europe.
Although Canada is called the back garden of the United States, as a member of the Commonwealth, the Lee Group's industries will not receive the same treatment in Canada as they do in the United States.
At present, the retail sales in the Canadian market are mainly occupied by Wal-Mart. Carrefour has little influence there. Li Guangyu is planning to let Hengyu Supermarket Group compete with Wal-Mart. At the same time, 7-11 is also going to make efforts in the United States. It cannot be allowed to
Walmart has it too easy.
After the rise of e-commerce platforms in the future, Li Guangyu will definitely make Wal-Mart pay the price. Li Guangyu, the No. 1 retail supermarket group in his previous life, will not let him have this honor in this life.
Not long after Li Guangyu returned to the office, Gan Qin came in to report: "Li Sheng, Airbus Vice President Kendi Jesse hopes to visit you. He has been here for more than half an hour and is now waiting for you at the front desk of the building.
Reply."
"Go and notify the front desk to bring him up, and you can make a pot of hot tea."
Regardless of whether the relationship between the Lee Consortium and the United States is good or bad, Airbus will always be an important cooperative company of the Lee Consortium. Li Guangyu himself has never thought about owning a large aircraft manufacturing company in the past. This is unrealistic for him.
In the next few decades, the main aircraft in civil aviation will be Boeing and Airbus. It will be difficult for other companies to develop and grow. The strength and financial resources here are not something that ordinary people can afford.
Airbus has such strength because it has the financial and technical support of Britain, France and Germany. Even so, their strength is still not comparable to that of Boeing. In terms of market share, Airbus is far behind Boeing.
His Hong Kong origin means that he will not be allowed to control the industries of some countries. Even if he passes a fund, it will be useless. For example, aircraft manufacturing companies are enterprises protected by various countries. It is undoubtedly a fantasy for outsiders to control such companies.
After Kendi Jesse came in, Li Guangyu said enthusiastically: "Mr. Jesse, I am very happy to see you again. Please take a seat."
Kendi Jesse still remembers the scene of his first meeting with Li Guangyu. At that time, although the Li Group was quite powerful, it had not yet received too much attention from Airbus.
More than three years have passed. Xiangjiang Airlines, which once had nothing, has become one of the world's top airlines, with hundreds of aircraft and routes covering more than 100 cities. Xiangjiang Airlines has a very large influence in the world.
, especially the first choice for flights from popular cities to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok is Xiangjiang Airlines.
For example, this time I took the Xiangjiang Airlines flight from Paris to Xiangjiang.
This is incredible in the history of any private air transportation development. No newly established airline can develop so fast without relying on mergers and acquisitions.
Kendi Jesse doesn’t calculate other things. The current 120 passenger planes of Xiangjiang Airlines alone are worth more than 4 billion US dollars. This year, Forbes announced the assets of the world’s richest man in 2083, 2.76 billion.
The U.S. dollar is less than 3 billion, and this asset is not enough to buy more than 100 aircraft.
Ordinary people go back to worship these richest men in the world. They don't care who is the richest man in the world. These families and consortiums are the ones they focus on. Not everyone can afford airlines, especially large airlines, with such customers.
Only then can we bring them huge orders.
It is difficult for Kendi Jesse to give an exact answer as to how much assets the Lee Consortium currently has, but he knows that the total assets of those ranked first to 100th on the Forbes Global Personal Wealth List are not as large as the assets of the Lee Consortium.
This is because groups such as the Li's Consortium are not listed on the market, otherwise the assets of the Li's Consortium will be countless times larger.
After Kendi Jesse sat down, he said to him: "Mr. Li, thank you for accepting my visit."
"I'm really sorry. I was holding a meeting and it just ended. I didn't know you would come and kept you waiting for so long."
"I took the liberty of coming here uninvited. I hope Mr. Li won't take offense. I came here specially to visit you this time to thank you for your trust in our Airbus. I also ask you to rest assured that the products we delivered to Xiangjiang Airlines
It must be a high-quality product, and our airline will give priority to delivering products to you."
At present, their Western European economy is not ideal, and their Airbus orders are also growing sluggishly. Such a huge order from the Li Consortium has brought them a long-awaited blessing and relieved the pressure on their Airbus executives.
You must know that they are currently increasing investment in the development of ultra-long-range passenger aircraft to cope with the Boeing-747 series. If there are not a large number of orders now, how can they make profits to invest in research and development?
Airbus executives know that both Xiangjiang Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways mainly fly overseas routes, and there is a huge demand for ultra-long-range passenger aircraft. Currently, their Airbus can only fly more than 7,000 kilometers, which cannot satisfy Xiangjiang Airlines at all.
Transpacific flight.
China's reform and opening up continues to deepen, and the Asian region's economy continues to develop. In the future, there will be more and more flights across continents and oceans, which will require ultra-long-range aircraft to fly. Airbus does not want this market to be monopolized by Boeing.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "The cooperation between Xiangjiang Airlines and Airbus has been very pleasant in the past few years. I also very much hope that our cooperation can continue for a long time. In the future, Xiangjiang Airlines will not only have passenger aircraft, but also cargo aircraft."
The demand is also not small. In the future, the number of Xiangjiang Airlines' aircraft will exceed 1,000, and I am very confident about this."
Although the data of a thousand aircraft sounds a bit fanciful, Kendi Jesse does not think that Li Guangyu is bragging at all. Even if the airline with hundreds of aircraft is already the world's top airline, he still feels that this
Thousands of battles are not difficult for Li Guangyu.
Now he is only excited. This is an order for a thousand aircraft. If he cannot firmly grasp it, he feels that he is not qualified to be the vice president of Airbus.
He also knows that Airbus does not yet have ultra-long-range aircraft, which is obviously not in line with the layout of the Li Group. If they want to swallow all the orders from Xiangjiang Airlines, they must speed up the development of ultra-long-range aircraft.
The reason why Li Guangyu mentioned this is that he hopes that Airbus’ research and development speed can be accelerated. He is located in Xiangjiang, and most of his routes are destined to be ultra-long-distance routes. He needs to leave space for China Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways for short-distance routes.
It is impossible for him to occupy all these markets.
In the future, Li Guangyu will look for opportunities to enter the mainland aviation market. If he can enter, the number of his airline's aircraft will be even larger.
