After watching a ball game in Coventry, Lee rushed back to the hotel to prepare for a meeting with Weaver Clark, the representative of the British government, in the evening.

As for whether Coventry Football Club is worth acquiring, Li Guangyu also has to ask Peng Xiaoli and others for their opinions. Besides, Jaguar hasn't talked about it yet, and he's not in a hurry now.

After dinner with Weaver Clark, Lee said, "Mr. Clark, what is your administration's attitude on the Jaguar Motor Company issue today?"

Weaver Clark still has a good understanding of Lee Guangyu's strength, and the prime minister also agreed to sell Jaguar this time, although there are some people who oppose it, but this does not affect the passage of this decision.

Weaver Clark said, "Mr. Lee, our government is willing to sell Jaguar, as long as you can convince Jaguar executives and the Lyons family to agree, there will be no problem." You also know that this company was handed over to us in England by the Lyons family, and we still have to follow their advice in the handling of the company, especially the opinion of the founder, William Lyons, if you can convince him, there will be no big problem. ”

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Clark, can't you just sell the shares to us, you must know that the shares of Jaguar are all in your hands." ”

Li Guangyu now wants to buy the shares directly from the British government, as for those high-level people, who do not welcome themselves, they can all resign, technical personnel are not easy to find, management personnel are everywhere, and there is no shortage of these.

Weaver Clark said, "Mr. Lee, our government also needs to take into account the opinions of the company's top management, especially Mr. William Lyons, who has worked hard for this company all his life. Flash"

It seems that it is not feasible for Li Guangyu to negotiate directly with the British government, and it seems that he will have to visit the old man to try to get him to support his acquisition of Jaguar.

Lee Kwang Woo said, "Mr. Clark, I will visit Mr. William Lyons tomorrow, and I will contact you after communicating with him. ”

Weaver Clark said, "Mr. Li, then I will leave first, this is not our government wants to make things difficult for you, we still have to consider some influences." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Clark, I will send you." ”

After Li Guangyu sent Weaver Clark back to the room, Du Yuemei came over and asked Li Guangyu, "Li Sheng, how did you talk to Mr. Clark?"

Li Guangyu told Du Yuemei about what he told Weaver Clark, and at the same time told Du Yuemei to visit William Lyons with him tomorrow.

Du Yuemei didn't expect that the acquisition of Jaguar would be so complicated, if Jaguar was private, she could talk to the other party and not care about other issues. This belongs to the government, and it is necessary to consider all aspects of the situation.

Du Yuemei said, "Li Sheng, in the future, if our group wants to acquire a company, it is best to find a private one, so that it will not be so troublesome. ”

Li Guangyu said: "When we expand in the future, we should carefully study this aspect of the issue and try to avoid government enterprise acquisitions." 35xs”

......

At nine o'clock in the morning on April 11, Li Guangyu and his party arrived at a villa on the outskirts of Coventry, where William Lyons lived.

Since Li Guangyu had already contacted William Lyons in advance about the visit at nine o'clock today, when Li Guangyu arrived, William Lyons was standing outside the door waiting for his arrival.

Li Guangyu walked up and said, "Mr. Lyons, you are so polite, how can I bother you to wait outside the door." ”

William Lyons said, "Mr. Li can come to my house as a guest, so I naturally need to go out to greet him, Mr. Li and the two ladies, please come inside." ”

After coming to the living room to sit down, Li Guangyu introduced Du Yuemei and Zhang Ziyu to William Lyons.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Lyons, I have come to visit you this time in the hope that you can support our group's acquisition of Jaguar. ”

William Lyons said, "Mr. Li, I am also full of feelings for the Jaguar company I created, and I also hope that Jaguar can develop better and better, so I handed over the company to England, but I didn't expect the current government to have the intention of selling." ”

William Lyons now has a very complicated mood, he originally thought that if he handed over the company to England, Jaguar would develop better and better. It's just that there are some discrepancies between reality and my own ideas, and I haven't achieved the results I want.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Lyons, you must know that the government is not a businessman after all, and in the development of the company, it is only by relying on the foundation you have laid that it has made some achievements. Today's top management of Jaguar has changed a lot from your reign, and if you don't make any changes, I'm afraid that the Jaguar empire you have built will collapse. ”

William Lyons is very clear about the current situation of Jaguar, but he has handed over the company and has no right to intervene in the company's affairs.

William Lyons said, "Mr. Lee, if you take control of Jaguar Motors, do you have any plans?"

"Jaguar's main market is now in the United States, but it's starting to face challenges. After I acquired Jaguar, I will have a production base in Asia, where I can reduce production costs to meet the competition of Japanese car companies. At the same time, with my influence in Asia, I can promote Jaguar in Asia, knowing that there is a huge market there. ”

When William Lyons was in power, he wanted to open up the Asian market, but he competed with Rolls-Royce at the top, and was beaten back by several major Japanese automobile groups in several other models, and Jaguar lost in the Asian market, so he focused on developing the American market.

Regarding the influence of Li Guangyu, the richest man in Hong Kong, in Asia, he is naturally very clear that once he controls Jaguar, it will indeed be very beneficial to Jaguar's market in Asia.

William Lyons said, "Mr. Lee, I know that there are some high-level executives in the company today who are greedy for power, so they will oppose your entry. However, many people in the company are old people who have followed me for many years, and many of them are talents in the technical department, and I hope that Mr. Li can treat them well, after all, they have contributed to the development of Jaguar. ”

As soon as Li Guangyu heard William Lyons say this, he knew that this person agreed to buy Jaguar by himself.

Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Lyons, thank you for your support, you can rest assured, I will definitely pay attention to these technicians, our group is very short of such talents." ”

William Lyons said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to thank me, I'm my age, and I don't have many years left. Originally, I thought that Jaguar would develop very well if it was handed over to the British government, but unfortunately I was disappointed. ”

"This time, I'm putting Jaguar in your hands, and I hope not to disappoint me again. My life's wish is to make Jaguar a top car brand that can be passed on for a long time. And you can become the richest man in Hong Kong in a short period of time, which proves that you have excellent ability, and I will accompany you to the company tomorrow morning to meet some of my old friends. ”

"Okay, Mr. Lyons, we are waiting for you outside Jaguar headquarters tomorrow. Li Guangyu said.

......

After leaving William Lyons' villa, Du Yuemei said happily, "Li Sheng, great, with Mr. Lyons's appearance, our difficulties have been reduced a lot, I really didn't expect Mr. Lyons to be willing to help us, I don't know what Messi Jackco thinks, he will actually oppose us, this is not the old gentleman's opinion at all." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Lyons has hoped that Jaguar can develop well all his life, but unfortunately these high-level executives have disappointed him, so the old man is willing to help us." ”
