Li Guangyu did not stay in London for long, but in the afternoon, he went to Coventry, the headquarters of Jaguar Motors, with Du Yuemei. Flash Dance

Li Guangyu also went to Coventry this time to see what the environment was like there, and whether it was suitable to build the headquarters of the Bentley Group here.

The next morning, Li Guangyu began to wander around the city of Coventry, and even went to the museum in Coventry to visit. As for the negotiation with Jaguar, Li Guangyu gave full authority to Du Yuemei, and Li Guangyu believed that Du Yuemei was more suitable to negotiate than himself.

Coventry is clearly an industrial city, once the UK's famous textile centre, and now a major production base for automobiles and automotive components, with Daimler and Jaguar established here. It has led to the development of auto parts here, and now Daim has long been acquired by Jaguar.

When Li Guangyu passed by the Coventry Sports Centre, he specially instructed Li Weiming to buy a few tickets for the afternoon game of the Coventry football team. Although Lee is not a big fan of football, he is still ready to see if Coventry City Football Club is worth the investment.

He already has a basketball team, and as an influential football player in Europe, he naturally wants to enter, but he has not yet chosen a target. In line with the fact that Jaguar's headquarters is here, Li Guangyu also plans to build the headquarters of the Bentley Group here, so his priority is naturally Coventry's team. Flash Dance

At noon, Li Guangyu listened to Du Yuemei's negotiations with Jaguar. In addition to Jaguar's senior management, there were also representatives of the British government, as well as William Lyons' son Messi Jack Lyons, but many high-level Jaguar executives and Messi Jack Lyons were opposed to selling Jaguar to Li Guangyu.

Lee Kwang Woo asked, "So how did the representatives of the British government decide?"

Li Guangyu doesn't care about the opposition of the top, as long as he gets the controlling stake in Jaguar, as long as he has Jaguar's technical personnel, as for the management personnel, he can be transferred from Bentley Motors.

These high-level objections are nothing more than the fear that after Li Guangyu becomes the master, they will not be as free as they are now. In the past, when it was under the management of the government, it was nothing more than reporting the company's financial reports to the government, and the company was completely decided by these high-level executives. Now, if Li Guangyu were to take charge of the company, they would not have such power.

Du Yuemei said: "Li Sheng, the government representative wants us to persuade the Jaguar senior management to agree, and then carry out the next negotiations. ”

Du Yuemei is also a headache now, the Lyons family obviously does not want the company they created to be sold by the British government to the Orientals, and the top management is unwilling to relinquish power, they do not want to carry out this negotiation. 35xs

Li Guangyu said, "You can help me meet with the representative of the British government, and I will invite him to dinner in the evening." ”

Li Guangyu does not intend to pay attention to the top management of Jaguar, this group of people is greedy for the power of the company, Li Guangyu will not give these people any guarantees. If it is a technician, Li Guangyu is really lacking, if it is management, Li Guangyu is really not afraid, there are many people on Bentley's side who have worked in the automotive industry for decades, and he still doesn't believe it, Bentley's people can't manage Jaguar well.

Du Yuemei said, "Li Sheng, if you ignore the people of Jaguar's senior management and the Lyons family, this will not be good for the development of Jaguar in the future." ”

Li Guangyu said: "It's okay, the main purpose of my acquisition of Jaguar is its engine technology, you have to communicate with these engineers in this regard, and we can replace them, but these technicians are not just something that can be found." ”

Don't look at the current development of Jaguar is not bad, it will not wait for two years to stop cooking, and in the United States, it will not only face the squeeze of Ford and GM. There are also challenges from Japan's Lexus, Infiniti, and Acura, and the previous life has proved that this group of management is not very good, otherwise it would not have allowed this glorious car company to decline so quickly.

Du Yuemei is also dissatisfied with these high-level executives, and has promised them that the group will not adjust the company's management on a large scale, and they still do not welcome Li Guangyu's entry, thinking that they will always be the emperor of the soil in Jaguar Company. Since Li Guangyu is not worried about the company's problems, he is not afraid, and it is a big deal that he will bring some management to live in Jaguar Company and manage the company himself.

At this time, in a private room of a hotel not far from Li Guangyu's hotel, the presidents of Jaguar Motor Company, Sampson Gerrard and Messi, Jacko Lyons, and some senior executives of the company were discussing today's affairs.

Sampson Gerrard said, "Messi, don't worry, we won't agree to an upstart from the East buying up the company your father has spent his life building. We were against handing over the company to the English government, but unfortunately your father insisted on going his own way, otherwise what would not have happened to us today. ”

Messi Jacko is also dissatisfied with his father for handing over the company to the British government instead of handing it over to himself, but he himself has no way to stop his father from doing so.

Messi Jack Lyons said, "I am only here on behalf of my father, and the current company does not belong to our Lyons family, as for the future, it depends on you, our family does not want Jaguar Motors to be controlled by people outside the United Kingdom, especially those in the East, what qualifications do they have to buy us, this represents the luxury and nobility of Jaguar." ”

Jaguar executives echoed Messi Jacko Lyons' statement, and these executives hoped that Messi Jack would stand up against it. The influence of the Lyons family on Jaguar is huge, and as long as Messi Jacko is clearly opposed, outsiders must carefully consider whether the acquisition is worth it.

Sampson Gerrard said, "Messi, you still have to express your Lyons family's opinions to the government officials, you still have a lot of influence over them. ”

Messi Jacko Lyons is at most a little bit of a Jaguar company, and elsewhere, his father has some face. As for himself, forget it, I guess no one pays attention to him. Now it is his brother who is in charge of the family business, and he himself receives the family's salary to have fun everywhere.

Messi Lyons said: "Sampson, rest assured, I will report to the British government the opinion of our Lyons family. ”

How could Sampson Gerrard not know this ability, the reason why he said this is that he hopes to use the influence of the Lyons family to try to change the decision of the British government, so that he and the top management can continue to control Jaguar.

Sampson Gerrard raised his glass and said, "Messijack, thank you for your support of our company's executives, cheers." ”
