On the morning of April 1, Li Guangyu, accompanied by Gan Qin and Zhang Ziyu, visited the Bentley Building, which was under construction.

In the future, this building will serve as the headquarters of the Lee Consortium in Western Europe, not only the Bentley Group will work here, but also the Western European headquarters of the Xingyuan Group and its major groups will work in this building.

Therefore, the building covers an area of not only a wide area, but also has 56 floors, three underground floors, 53 floors above, and the total height of the ground of this building has reached 201 meters, and it is planned to invest one billion US dollars.

Once completed, the Bentley Tower will be the tallest building in London, and the second of the Lee consortium's Wheelock Building, costing more than $1 billion.

Although the HSBC Tower in Hong Kong was the world's first single building with an investment of more than one billion US dollars, leaving the latter to be the second, in London, the Bentley Tower is the first.

As for Xiangjiang, there is HSBC at the beginning, followed by a lot, such as his Wheelock Building, the Hong Leong Building of the Singapore consortium, and there are many groups ready to move.

Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, the construction speed here is far from being comparable with Xiangjiang, let alone the mainland, and we are afraid that it will only take 90 years for our building to be put into use." ”

Li Guangyu didn't have a good way to deal with this, and the workers in Xiangjiang could work overtime for 12 hours and not take a vacation for a month.

Wanting such workers here is tantamount to a dream, which is why Li Guangyu doesn't like to put the production factory here, and the workers who are most reassuring to him are the workers in Greater China, and other regions really can't give him much trust.

In the future, even if the mainland's labor costs rise, Li Guangyu will transfer his industry to the western part of the mainland, and he does not want his industry to go on strike and make trouble that day.

Li Guangyu said: "There is no rush here for the time being, let's be a little later, your current office area will be for the time being." At present, the British economy is starting to gain momentum, you can see if there is a suitable building for sale, if there is, you will buy it, anyway, there will be no loss in this regard, I will inject a billion dollars into your group this time, which is enough for you to buy an office building. ”

Li Guangyu brought more than 20 billion US dollars this time to prepare to buy the bottom, but there were some problems in France, and the funds in his hand were not used.

Zhang Ziyu listened to Li Guangyu inject $10 into Bentley again, and was very happy in his heart, which made Bentley more financially abundant.

In just over six years, since their Bentley was established, Li Guangyu has injected more than 5 billion US dollars.

Coupled with their rapid development over the years, even if the Bentley Group is not listed, the valuation of major institutions has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

At present, the only ones that are not enough to compare with them are Xiangjiang Air Transport Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group, and Xiangjiang Air Transport Group is more ruthless than them.

From its establishment to the present, in just over four years, the group has received nearly 10 billion US dollars of capital injection from Li Guangyu, making it completely become the world's top air transport group.

Hengyu Supermarket Group's profitability is too strong, and its turnover officially exceeded the $9 billion mark last year, $1.2 billion more than Wal-Mart's revenue and $2 billion more than Carrefour.

At present, the world retail groups ahead of them are Kmart and Sias in the United States, with Kmart reaching a revenue of $28 billion, while Sias's turnover has exceeded $21 billion.

Zhang Ziyu knows very well that the profitability of his Bentley Group cannot be compared with Hengyu Supermarket Group, the development of this group is too terrifying, and Hengyu Supermarket Group has more advantages than Carrefour and Wal-Mart is that all their supermarkets and convenience store stores are owned.

In terms of profitability, it is necessary to throw off these two supermarket groups, and with the development of time, Hengyu Supermarket Group will definitely be able to get rid of these two groups in terms of turnover and catch up with the two top retail groups in the United States.

Zhang Ziyu herself did not want to compete for the first group under the Li consortium, her biggest wish is to keep the Bentley Group's position in the top five under the Li family.

Although the Bentley Group is already very strong and has a very good market value, it is mainly due to Li Guangyu's continuous capital injection.

If Bentley does not work its own development, Bentley's status will continue to decline in the Lee consortium over time.

For example, the current Xiangjiang Communication Group, Phoenix Group, Oriental Semiconductor Group, Nanhua Group, and those real estate groups have very good future development prospects.

As for the Xingyuan Group, Zhang Ziyu automatically filtered this plug-in, this is not a normal development group at all, and Zhang Ziyu is too lazy to compete with it.

They have worked hard for many years, and it is not as good as a piece of land that Li Guangyu gave to Xingyuan Group, just relying on this land, the market value of Xingyuan Group easily exceeded 10 billion, if it were not for Li Guangyu to transfer the funds from the sale of two major iron ore shares, no group could compare with them.

Even so, now the market value of Xingyuan Group still occupies the third place under Li's, and some institutions value them at a market value of 13 billion US dollars, which is only lower than Hengyu Supermarket Group and Xiangjiang Air Transport Group, even they Bentley cannot be compared.

Zhang Ziyu said excitedly: "Li Sheng, I will definitely investigate the London market and strive to choose a building with potential, even if our office is transferred to Bentley Building in the future, this building can also get a good income." ”

As Zhang Ziyu, who grew up in Xiangjiang, she naturally knows the prospects of the real estate industry, but it is a pity that the Bentley Group she leads is a pure automobile group and cannot develop these side businesses, otherwise she really wants to get a real estate company.

She knew that if she didn't focus on the development of the automobile industry, the position of president of Bentley Group would not be stable, so she knew that the real estate industry was lucrative, so she had no choice but to give up.

Li Guangyu is not clear about Zhang Ziyu's thoughts, his plan is that the Bentley Group is an automobile group, there will be no enterprises that have nothing to do with automobile research and manufacturing, and in the future, the Bentley Group will compete with Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors and other automobile groups for the hegemony of the world's automobile groups, and he does not want the development route of the Bentley Group to go crooked.

In the future, mainland automobiles will mainly be in the markets of Japan, the United States, and Germany, while South Korea, Italy, and France are not in the same level compared to the first three countries.

Li Guangyu hopes that this situation will be broken by then, and Bentley Group cars will be able to suppress these groups in the mainland market.

Lee spent nearly an hour at the Bentley Tower construction site before returning to the Regal Hotel.

This afternoon, Li Guangyu will go to visit Thatcher and communicate with him about some group matters, Li Guangyu is only going to discuss the big acquisition policy with Thatcher, as for the specifics, the following personnel will naturally have detailed discussions, involving the acquisition of large companies and groups, but it is not something that can be discussed in a day or two.

The last acquisition of Xingyuan Group and British Telecom Company were discussed for nearly half a year, and this time it is estimated that it will not be much less.

This time, Li Guangyu is ready to eat the British electricity, hydropower, and natural gas companies, and it doesn't matter if the steel company can win the best, or not.
