Little did Li Guangyu know that he had been treated like a fly by many heads of consortiums in the United States. At three o'clock in the morning on December 13th, Vancouver time, Li Guangyu's special plane landed at the Vancouver International Airport.
The person in charge of Bentley Group Canada has arranged a fleet of vehicles to wait for Li Guangyu's arrival, and the Regal Hotel in Vancouver has already prepared rooms for them. This is also the strength of Kei Fujiwara.
There are currently Regal Hotels in the capitals of every major country and the top cities in important countries. There are currently three Regal Hotels in Canada, located in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Guangyu, Yuan Tianfan, Zhang Ziyu and others held talks with Mayor J.R. Gitson and other government officials at the Vancouver City Hall.
J.R. Gitson was very happy and excited that Li Guangyu led the presidents of several of his groups to come to Vancouver. Every time the Li Group travels on such a large scale, it means a large number of projects and investments. As the City of Vancouver,
President, he obviously does not want to stop at the past. Ottawa, the national administrative center, is his goal, and his political career has just begun.
If you want to continue to move forward, in addition to the support of the consortium, public opinion is also very important. If you want to gain the recognition of the people, you need to show your political achievements. Only in this way can you be convincing. As long as you develop Vancouver's economy well, you will
There will be a chance to hit a higher position.
This time, the people led by Li Guangyu had a three-hour meeting with J.R. Gitson, during which they reached a number of cooperation agreements, mainly the entry of Hengyu Supermarket Group and the establishment of Xiangjiang Telecom Group and Vancouver
Government joint venture.
At the same time, Jiayi Group will establish a branch here. Vancouver is the third largest media, film and television center in North America after Los Angeles and New York.
Xiangjiang Airlines plans to establish a maintenance and support base at Vancouver Airport to strengthen Vancouver’s international access.
J.R. Gitson is very supportive of this plan. Only by increasing external communication can the city of Vancouver be more dynamic. However, he cannot make the final decision on this matter. He needs to submit it to the council and obtain the approval of the city council before it can be approved.
Xiangjiang Airlines established a logistics and maintenance base here.
In fact, J.R. Gitson wants to cooperate with the Bentley Group. Currently, the Bentley Group does not have a production base in the North American market. Vancouver, as a Canadian auto parts production base, has the foundation for the Bentley Group to develop here.
It's just that they are not very familiar with the relationship between the City of Vancouver and the Li Group at present. Since Li Guangyu did not mention this cooperation this time, it is not easy for him to discuss this issue.
Only when the Li Group's cooperation with them is on the right track can they attract more companies from the Li Group to invest.
As for the conflicts between the Lee Consortium and the communications company they jointly established with the current American consortium and the joint venture with the state, he doesn't care at all. The two companies are better, and this can also avoid the unilateral monopoly of the United States. He believes that the government
The senior management will not have any opinions.
You must know that both Xiangjiang Communications Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group, and Xiangjiang Air Transport Group are currently British companies. They are both Commonwealth industries and naturally have advantages over American industries. Most of the products of the Li Group
Entering the Canadian market enjoys most-favored nation tariff treatment and also enjoys free trade policies.
Moreover, Li Guangyu's industry has a great influence in the British Commonwealth, whether it is Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Britain, Australia and other countries and regions.
J.R. Gitson also knew that after 1997, Xiangjiang would return to the mainland and Xiangjiang would leave the Commonwealth. But that will be more than ten years later. At least for now, most of the companies of the Li Group are still in the UK.
Within the federation, this is enough.
Although many forces in the world feel that Canada is the back garden of the United States, Canada is first and foremost a member of the Commonwealth, and its honorary head of state is the Queen of England. It must first take into account its own interests and the interests of the Commonwealth, and then consider the interests of other countries.
Besides, they do not want the domestic economy to be dominated by American consortiums. They very much welcome companies within the Commonwealth to compete with American consortiums, so that Canadian citizens will have more choices and they will have more initiative in the government.
It will not be threatened by the American consortium.
At the end of the meeting, Li Guangyu said to Gitson, "Vancouver is a very beautiful city, and I would like to thank the government for the warm reception. I believe today is just a cooperation between our two sides. Asxs., I will have more industries in the future."
Come to Vancouver, put down roots and thrive here.”
Li Guangyu plans to use Vancouver as an important development area for his entry into the North American market. In the future, it will become the main product production base of the Li Group. The potential of the Canadian market cannot be underestimated. This is where he will seize the Canadian market. asxs..
J.R. Gitson responded with a smile: "Mr. Li, as one of the important cities in the Pacific region of North America, our city of Vancouver has very convenient transportation and ranks among the top in business activity in the world. We welcome more industries from your company.
Investment, as one of the Commonwealth countries, we in Canada will not suddenly increase tariffs on your products like the United States does."
Everyone knows the reason for Li Guangyu's visit. If the United States had not suddenly targeted the Li Group this time, I am afraid that Li Guangyu would not have suddenly visited them in Vancouver at this time.
The Li Group has been consolidating their Asian market before, while opening up the Western European and Australian markets. They have never thought of coming to the North American market to compete with the American group. This time, the American group's beating has finally allowed the Li Group to take a step forward in the market.
The pace of North American expansion.
Gitson is happy. His city of Vancouver is located on the Pacific Ocean and is closer to the Lee Consortium. It has an advantage over other cities in the country. The fact that the Lee Consortium chose to come here as their first stop is enough to illustrate the importance of geographical location.
Just like in the United States, although New York ranks ahead of Los Angeles, the Lee Group still has its headquarters in Los Angeles because Los Angeles is located in the Pacific Ocean.
Although there are not many cooperation projects negotiated for the first time, this is a good start. Once the Li Group feels that it is expanding its market in a place, many other groups will follow, which will greatly promote the economy of Vancouver.
Not to mention anything else, just the establishment of the Canadian headquarters of a group under the Li Group here has a strong driving effect. You must know that the Li Group has a huge influence in Asia. He put the Canadian group headquarters here.
Many groups in Vancouver and Asia will make the same choice.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Gitson, it is precisely because of these advantages that Vancouver has that I made my first stop here in the Americas. I believe that the friendship between Li's Industries and Vancouver will continue to deepen. We are cooperating
A mutually beneficial and win-win situation will definitely be achieved. Some companies in Xiangjiang and I intend to invest in a China Town in Vancouver. I believe this project will have a certain driving effect on Vancouver's consumption and tourism."
J.R. Gitson is not very clear about what the Chinatown project is. He is not aware of the investment in Chinatowns in Southeast Asia by the Lee Group and the Heung Kong Group.
However, this did not hinder his inner joy. The investment in this construction project was definitely not small, and it would be very attractive to Easterners and could drive the economic development of Vancouver. He could not think of any reason to refuse.
