With the landing of the special plane at Paris International Airport, Li Guangyu led a number of senior executives of the group to Paris again after a lapse of two years.

Gu Zhengsheng, who is in charge of Western European affairs, has already come here, and today he personally led the convoy of the Regal Hotel to the airport to greet Li Guangyu and others.

In the car back to the hotel, Gu Zhengsheng reported to Li Guangyu on the current situation in Western Europe.

Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, at present, I think the British side is more suitable for investment than France, which has been nationalizing private enterprises in the past few years, and although Chirac is a staunch supporter and executor of privatization, he is facing very great pressure, and there are not many companies and groups that they have taken out to privatize that are suitable for our Li consortium."

On the British side, after Thatcher's re-election, the reform continued to deepen, and this time they took out Rolls-Royce, the steel company, the water company, and the power company, which are all very high-quality industries. ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect the British privatization to be so ruthless, you must know that Rolls-Royce is not only an airline, but also an automobile company, also known as Rolls-Royce, engine technology is the world's top level, Airbus is currently purchasing their engines.

Although the current automobile market, the overall downturn, especially in the luxury car market, the current development of Rolls-Royce cars is relatively difficult, but such a very important company to privatize, the British government's determination is not ordinary.

However, Li Guangyu did not think about buying this company, he knew that no matter how much money he had, he would not be able to buy this company, this is not only about civil aviation engines, but also about the engines of British fighter jets provided by this company, even if this company is privatized, the British government will only let it be controlled by the British consortium, Li Guangyu does not even think about it.

However, several other companies can be considered, especially the British water company and the British power company, as for the steel company, Li Guangyu prefers to buy technology rather than buy the company, now he has an iron ore mine in Australia, if he opens another steel company, he can form an industrial chain.

He needs to think about this matter, to see if this steel company is worth acquiring, if the technology is good, he can make an acquisition, and when the time comes, the joint venture with the mainland, the future mainland demand for steel will continue to rise, Li Guangyu still hopes that he can enter this market,

Moreover, he has a large car production base in various places, and the demand for steel is also relatively large, and he has his own steel company, which can also avoid some restrictions.

Li Guangyu said: "Don't think about Rolls-Royce, you ask Zhang Ziyu and Zhao Qihui to collect more information about the other three companies, and after the negotiations in France are over, I will go to London in person, and then decide whether to acquire these properties." ”

Gu Zhengsheng was very happy to see that Li Guangyu was interested in these companies, and at present, Western Europe, especially London, is the place with the most headquarters of the Li consortium group in addition to Xiangjiang, especially with the continuous expansion of Bentley Group, British Telecom Group, and Xingyuan Group, making the Western European market more and more important within the Li consortium, and his own status has also been significantly improved.

Once the acquisition of these companies is completed this time, the weight of the Western European market within the Li consortium will be even heavier, not to mention surpassing Xiangjiang, and there will be no problem at all in ranking second.

The person in charge of Xiangjiang has always been the first executive officer of the Li Foundation, and Du Yuemei, who was once the head of Western Europe, is not the second or at least the third, but her qualifications are too shallow, so that she has become the head of the Li Consortium in Western Europe, and the ranking is still the tail of the crane, which does not highlight the importance of the Western European market at all.

He also has an in-depth understanding of the French market, and it is very difficult for the Lee consortium to enter some industries involving electricity, urban water supply, aviation, highway construction, gas supply, etc.

Even if France comes up with some companies that are ready to be privatized this time, it will be more difficult for the Lee consortium to take full control, and the French government hopes that the government will have influence in these companies, and they will not sell all their shares, and the acquisition negotiations will be a very long thing at that time.

The British side is completely different, many of them are sold directly in one piece, and their government has not thought of retaining a small number of shares, and they do not control many important industries in the hands of the government like France.

Gu Zhengsheng said: "After returning to the hotel, I will contact the personnel on the British side, and at eight o'clock this evening, Chirac will come to the hotel to have talks with you. ”

Li Guangyu is not too worried about this, as long as he acquires French companies under a legal framework, he is not afraid of changes in France's future policy.

No matter how France's policy changes, it is still a capitalist country, and as long as its own industry is operated legally, there will be no problems.

This time, Li Guangyu first set his sights on the French TV that he took out this time, which is the company with the highest ratings in France at present.

Li Guangyu has always attached great importance to the media, and only by mastering public opinion can he better maintain the development of his own industry.

Li Guangyu said: "At present, other countries in Western Europe, whether they have this trend in their country, the technology of enterprises in some countries is still quite good, our major groups have been established for too long, and can only be made up through acquisitions, and at the same time enhance the competitiveness of our major groups." ”

There was a wave of privatization in Western Europe in the 80s, and Eastern Europe will follow suit in the 90s.

Especially last year, when the reformers of the Soviet Union had come to power, Li Guangyu was waiting for the introduction of the economic reforms of the Soviet Union, and once the reforms were carried out there, he would join the reforms of the Soviet Union like the American consortium and the Japanese and Western European consortiums, and even if he could not eat meat, he would have to drink a mouthful of soup.

Gu Zhengsheng responded: "Li Sheng, at present, the most powerful privatization trend is still in the United Kingdom, France has Chirac came to power before it began to mention, other regions have not had much influence, but Spain and Portugal have joined the European Community, which will prompt them to carry out economic reforms, with the development of time, Western Europe will only have more and more countries carrying out economic reforms, but it will take some time." ”

Since other countries are still holding their ground, Li Guangyu will no longer think about the affairs of other countries for the time being, and will still do a good job in the two markets of France and England.

In the future, there will also be opportunities for the German market, especially after the merger of the two Germanys, and a large number of government enterprises in East Germany will be privatized.

An era of rapid change is coming, and Li Guangyu hopes that he can seize the opportunity in this change, expand the market of his own industry, and accumulate more foundation for his own consortium.

In this change, Eastern Europe will be a huge treasure, this time not only he is eyeing there, the American consortium and the Western European consortium have already been placed there, and it is destined not to be smooth sailing at that time, and the battle between the Lee consortium and the American consortium will start in the Eastern European market.
