In the following days, Li Guangyu visited his property in England, and also visited the British Gas Company and the British Water Company, and had a conversation with the company's senior management.
Of course, we also held many meetings with Sumitomo Kirihide, Iwasaki Toshihide, Li Jianxi and others regarding the acquisition of these companies.
The current situation is quite strange. After the Saudi Investment Company quoted US$35, both Li Guangyu and his Yingya Investment Company, the American consortium's Yingli Investment Company, and the West German consortium's Berlin Investment Company stopped thinking about continuing to quote.
However, the British government gave all parties a week. If several companies did not continue to quote within a week, the British government would choose to transfer the shares to the Saudi Investment Company.
On May 16, Li Guangyu finally received good news from Zhang Ziyu. They invested 500 million pounds to package the technology and formula of British Steel Company, including round steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cold/hot rolling
Steel, automotive steel plates and a series of technologies.
Li Guangyu said to Zhang Ziyu: "I will immediately ask Xingyu Game Group to transfer one billion US dollars to you. In addition to acquiring these technologies, you will also need to recruit people for me. Only these technologies are useless, and we still need a large number of talents in this field."
.”
Now that the world's steel industry is not doing well, Li Guangyu will not only recruit people in England, but also in the United States.
As for the group headquarters, Li Guangyu plans to place it in Western Australia, and the steel company can also be established there. As for the group president, Li Guangyu already has a candidate, and Gu Zhengsheng is really not suitable to preside over affairs in England.
This time, Li Guangyu planned to transfer him to Western Australia to serve as the president of the Steel Group and also be responsible for the affairs of the Li Group in Australia.
As for the Western European side here, Zhang Ziyu is still in charge. Zhang Ziyu has a good relationship with both the Queen of England and the Prime Minister of England. She can better communicate with the British government by presiding over the affairs here.
Li Guangyu's Western European market focus is in England, which naturally requires a high-level person with good relations with the government. Moreover, the Prime Minister and the Queen of England are both women, so Zhang Ziyu can communicate better with them.
As for the president of Xingyuan Group, Li Guangyu plans to ask Zhao Xiaoyan, the president of Jiulong Group, to take over. The current market value of Xingyuan Group is tens of billions of dollars. In the future, this group will also be involved in coal mines and non-ferrous metal minerals. It will definitely be the backbone of Li's consortium.
group.
Zhao Xiaoyan has been working in the Lee Consortium since Li Guangyu took over the industry. She has rich management experience in many groups over the years. She has also been in charge of the affairs of the Lee Consortium in Thailand and the Philippines. She has no problems managing Xingyuan Group.
The president of Kowloon Group will be temporarily replaced by Du Yuemei, who will return to work at Dao Group next month. Chen Dong's resignation as president of Hongyu Clothing Group will be postponed later.
Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, I have arranged for some people to communicate with some senior technical personnel of British Steel Company. I believe we will gain a lot. After all, our Bentley Group, British Telecom Group and Xingyuan Group are all developing vigorously.
For example, if they want better development, they will definitely be willing to join our Li Group."
"Ziyu, please be more careful. This time I plan to arrange for Gu Zhengsheng to be the president of this steel company. The headquarters will be in Western Australia. The affairs of Western Europe will depend on you from now on."
Zhang Ziyu was extremely excited after listening to Li Guangyu's words. She did not expect that she would actually join the Li family's executive team this time, which made her feel very surprised.
Zhang Ziyu thought she would retire from this position in her life. Except for being Li Guangyu's assistant, all her work experience was in the Bentley Group. If nothing else, it would be difficult for her to be transferred from the Bentley Group, and Gu Zhengsheng is in Western Europe.
As Bian serves as the president of Xingyuan Group, she has no chance to go further.
Unexpectedly, Li Sheng would actually transfer Gu Zhengsheng to Western Australia to serve as the president of the newly established steel group and to be responsible for Australian affairs.
She responded excitedly: "Li Sheng, I will definitely lead the development of Li's consortium's industry in Western Europe, and at the same time assist Hao Gansheng's affairs in Eastern Europe."
Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin beside him: "You inform Peng Xiaoli in the United States and ask her to recruit steel technology talents for us in the United States. At the same time, inform Zhao Xiaoyan to ask for her opinion and ask her if she is willing to come to London to work as a star source.
Group President."
Gan Qin has a very close relationship with Zhao Xiaoyan. When Li Guangyu first took charge of the industry, she worked under Zhao Xiaoyan.
Regarding Li Guangyu's transfer of Zhao Xiaoyan from Jiulong Group to Xingyuan Group, Gan Qin couldn't say whether it was a good or bad thing.
If it is compared with profitability, it is estimated that Xingyuan Group will be stronger. As long as Li Guangyu can give the group more land, even Hengyu Supermarket Group, which currently ranks first in profitability, will not be a rival to Xingyuan Group.
But Kowloon Group also has advantages. Because it mainly invests in public infrastructure, mainly highways, subways, tunnels, etc., these are very popular with local governments. Although the initial investment is huge, the profits will be higher the further it goes.
Moreover, the Kowloon Group is headquartered in Hong Kong, so working there is always better than in London. At least you will have more friends there, and living in Hong Kong is more satisfying than what you are used to in London.
But since Li Guangyu has decided this way, Gan Qin can't dissuade her. She also knows the potential of Xingyuan Group. It would be better for Zhao Xiaoyan to work in this group than in Jiulong Group. If she were in Jiulong Group, Zhao Xiaoyan would probably never join the executive team in her life.
opportunity.
In Xiangjiang, it is difficult for group presidents to join the executive team. Only those who are outsiders have greater opportunities. For example, the one in front of me has many senior group presidents who are higher than her in terms of qualifications. In terms of ability, no one is inferior to anyone else.
This time, Zhang Ziyu was able to join the executive team mainly because of the geographical advantage. At the same time, as a woman, she could get along better with the British Prime Minister and the Queen.
Gan Qin said: "I believe Sister Xiaoyan will not refuse your arrangement, but Gusheng, I'm afraid you still need to communicate more. After all, Australia is far less important than Western Europe."
If Greater China is the first core area of the Lee Consortium, Western Europe definitely ranks second. Even if Southeast Asia and Greater China are both regarded as the basic base of the Lee Consortium, their importance there is still not comparable to that of Western Europe.
As for Australia, its importance is even lower than that of South America, and it is currently better than Africa. The Lee Group has not yet entered Africa, Central Asia, West Asia and Eastern Europe. In the future, Eastern Europe will definitely be another important development area for the Lee Group. From Gan Qinglin
This can be seen from his upcoming transfer to Austria.
Li Guangyu said: "I believe Gu Zhengsheng understands the general situation. The development of each region is very important to our Li Group. I believe he will not let me down. Look at Qinglin, when he was transferred to Southeast Asia,
He only serves as the vice chairman of Tianyu Financial Group, and he has done his best to manage our industries in Southeast Asia in the past few years."
Zhang Ziyu didn't say anything at the side. This was what Gan Qin dared to say to Li Guangyu. The relationship between this assistant and Li Guangyu was too special. As long as she was willing, she could serve as Li Guangyu's assistant for the rest of her life.
Although he is still considered her senior, his status in the past few years was far inferior to hers. It was only after today that he joined the Li family's executive team and finally surpassed her again.
