In the middle of the reception, George Marché came to Lee Kuang Woo with his glass, which was one of the objects he needed to focus on tonight.

In the previous time, Georges Marché had already discussed with all parties, and the rest of the party was spent communicating with this interest group.

Three of the top four families in Xiangjiang are gathered here, the He family represented by Stanley Ho, the Luo family represented by Luo Cheng, and the Li family represented by Li Guobao, only the Xu Shixun family did not appear here.

At present, the most influential figures in the Hong Kong business community are basically here, whether it is Li Guangyu or Li Ka-shing, as well as the Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai (Kwok Tak Sheng, Lee Shau Kee, Fung King Hei) and Cheng Yutong of New World Development Group, they are all big men in the Hong Kong business community.

Georges Marché did not dare to underestimate the energy of this interest group, and he knew very well that many of his domestic consortia did not have the strength of this conglomerate. The most important thing is that this interest consortium has just started, and its core members are still young, and this consortium will become more and more terrifying in the future.

Standing on Georges Marcher's political position, as well as his own philosophy, he did not want such a consortium to exist, after the formation of a consortium, it often means a monopoly, and the citizens at the bottom are shrouded in the shadow of the consortium and cannot see the light.

However, the current development of the country needs the investment of funds, which in turn requires the entry of these consortia, and only they have a large amount of funds to improve the current domestic economic situation.

He was entrusted by Mitterrand to have good relations with the conglomerates, even if he did not like the existence of the conglomerates in his heart, and although the Communist Party wanted the government to control the country's important resources, they did not have much power in France.

At present, the two largest political parties in France are the Socialist Party and the Republican Party, both of which are capitalist, and their Communist Party is also in alliance with the Socialist Party to gain some right to speak, and some of their ideals are not recognized by the two major parties.

This time, Mitterrand specially invited Georges Marché to come to Hong Kong on his behalf to communicate with the business people here, hoping to bring in these families and consortia to invest in the past.

Moreover, the current situation in the world is changing, the Soviet Union is still maintaining its own set of policies, and the continent, the second largest socialist country, is already carrying out some reforms and embarking on its own unique socialist road.

The political parties established on the basis of Marxism in various countries of the world are now at a loss, and they do not know whether they should continue to maintain the policy ideas of the Soviet Union or follow the example of the mainland to carry out reforms.

The reason why Georges Marche has been on the mainland for so long this time is that he wants to have a good understanding of the changes in the mainland after the reform, and also to provide some experience for his own political party.

After driving to Lee Kwang Yu's side, George Marshall said, "Gentlemen, thank you for being able to come to this banquet. ”

As one of the three major powers in Western Europe, Li Guangyu is still very interested in the French market, which is easier to enter than the Federal Republic of Germany, and some groups in the Federal Republic of Germany are quite strong, and the Li consortium may not be able to win them.

However, in the past two years, Li Guangyu has no plans to vigorously enter the Western European continent, and at present he wants to go all out to develop the Southeast Asian market, stabilize the treasure island market and the Japanese market, maintain the American market, deepen the British market, and do not have much energy to go to the Western European continent to compete with France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Italy.

After exchanging polite words, George Marshall also came down here and discussed with Li Guangyu and them in detail.

Georges Marché said: "Mr. Lee Guangyu, your Lee consortium currently has a market in many parts of the world, and it is constantly increasing its investment in the UK. France is the largest country in Western Europe in terms of land area, and its economy is also at the forefront of the world, with a broad market and development opportunities. ”

At present, in the French market, Li Guangyu is mainly engaged in trade, selling some of the group's products to French channel dealers, who sell the products of the Li consortium. They only have a few offices in Paris, and they don't have any companies there.

At present, the influence of the Lee consortium in the countries of the Western European continent is very weak, unlike in the United Kingdom, the Bentley Group and the British Telecom Group have made the status of the Li Consortium in this side sharply improved, and the headquarters of the major groups of the Li Consortium in Western Europe are located in London, and Du Yuemei is stationed in the United Kingdom.

Li Guangyu responded: "Mr. Marché, thank you for the invitation, I am also very optimistic about the French market, and our Lee Group is also willing to deepen its investment in France." After the completion of our current layout, we will focus on the development of the Western European continent, and your France is one of the most important markets in Western Europe. ”

George Marshall understood Li Guangyu, and at present, the Lee consortium obviously needs to complete their layout in Southeast Asia before considering the market in Western Europe, and it is obvious that the Lee consortium is preparing to build Southeast Asia into their foundation.

As long as the market in these regions is stable, the Lee consortium can rest assured that it will be able to expand outside and dare to compete with the world's major conglomerates.

He also knew that as long as the world group came to the Western European continent, they would not give up their French market, and he was still very confident in this regard.

At present, the three major countries in Western Europe are Britain, France and the Federal Republic of Germany, if you only count the Western European continent, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Italy are the three giants, no matter how you count, their own country is one of the top countries in Western Europe and even Europe.

Georges Marché continued to communicate with Li Guangyu and others, talked with them about the situation in Hong Kong and Europe, and invited them to go to France for a field trip.

The Li consortium is a little better, in the layout of markets around the world, the other family leaders here have no plans to develop the European market, they are currently eyeing the Japanese market and the treasure island market, and Xiangjiang is waiting for the time to buy the bottom.

At this time, they were reluctant to go to France, thousands of miles away to invest, thinking that at the beginning, if it were not for Li Guangyu's repeated persuasion, they would not even want to develop the Japanese market, and they would have clinged to the Xiangjiang market.

Until the end of the reception, Georges Marché could not get a positive reply, and it was clear that these Heung Kong families and groups had no intention of immediately developing the Western European market.

This time it was mainly because of his identity, Georges Marché was just the leader of a political party in France, he was not Mitterrand.

Although he invited the helmsman of these families on behalf of Mitterrand this time, after all, it was not Mitterrand himself, and it was already very face-saving for these families to come to this banquet.

Xiangjiang groups are not even stable in the Asian market at present, how can they invest in France?

In Asia, they still have a lot of connections to use, and they are still relatively close to the headquarters of Xiangjiang, and they can take care of it, but the French side is different, and it is difficult for Xiangjiang to take care of there, and there are not too many relationships over there, and when they face other opponents to compete, they don't have much to do.

What's more, the Lee consortium does not plan to enter the French market immediately, so they will not rush to develop this market.
