Chapter 238: President of Bentley Asia

After an eight-day trip to the mainland, Du Yuemei and others took a flight from Beijing to Xiangjiang on September 27. 35xs

In the conference room of the Jiayi Building, Li Guangyu listened to the report of Du Yuemei and her entourage on the inspection in the mainland, as well as the evaluation of the manufacturing plant in cooperation with the Bentley Group.

After listening to everyone's reports, Li Guangyu asked, "Yuemei, how did your group decide?"

Du Yuemei said, "Li Sheng, these companies have their own advantages, and FAW's technical strength is the best. Because BAIC is located in Beijing, it is very beneficial to the development of joint venture vehicles, while Shanghai is located in the south and is now in the reform and opening up, and the economic development speed of the south of the mainland is obviously better than that of the north. As for the specific choice of which manufacturing plant to cooperate with, Li Sheng still needs to make a decision. ”

Lee then asked Shane Wesley what he had to say.

Shane Wesley said, "Mr. Li, I don't think the most important thing is to invest in technology with the mainland, but the sales problem is the problem that we need to solve. We Bentley have enough technology to support the establishment of the joint venture company, and the people in the mainland today are not able to afford to buy our vehicles, so in the first few years, our joint venture vehicles are mainly used to supply the mainland government. In this regard, I think it is more beneficial for us to cooperate with BAIC. ”

Li Guangyu asked, "Yuemei, you went to three places to investigate, where do you think it is more suitable for Bentley to cooperate with him?"

"Li Sheng, I think it's better for us to cooperate with FAW, now SAIC is negotiating a joint venture plan with West German Volkswagen, and BAIC is also negotiating a joint venture with the Chrysler Group of the United States, and these two groups obviously cannot fully support our Bentley's development. Looking back at FAW, it has a high reputation in the mainland, and there are no plans to negotiate joint ventures with other groups, so I think FAW is more suitable for our Bentley Group. Du Yuemei said.

Li Guangyu himself is also more inclined to cooperate with FAW, and with this foundation, Jaguar can also cooperate with FAW in the future. Thinking about how high FAW's reputation in the mainland was raised by FAW in later generations, it can be seen that FAW's ability can be seen, and Li Guangyu also hopes that Jaguar can cooperate with FAW to replace Audi's position.

Li Guangyu said, "Yuemei, then you arrange personnel to start communicating with FAW, I think as long as we take the lead in entering the mainland, whether it is Volkswagen in West Germany or Chrysler in the United States, we will speed up negotiations to seize the market with us, so the group's preparations for joint venture construction can be prepared in advance, and once an agreement is reached, strive to complete the construction and production as soon as possible." ”

Du Yuemei replied: "Li Sheng, rest assured, after I return to the UK, I will make arrangements, and strive to get our joint venture vehicles with the mainland off the assembly line at the end of next year." ”

Li Guangyu then asked about some details of FAW, and after listening to Du Yuemei's report, he said, "Yuemei, after you return from Baodao, you will focus on handling the joint venture with FAW." and the construction of the Treasure Island production base. Now that the business is getting bigger and bigger, have you ever wondered who will be in charge of the work in Asia? ”

Bentley Group's affairs in Asia are becoming more and more important, and the person in charge of this side of affairs is really not easy to find, and there is no suitable person within Bentley Group to preside over the work in Asia.

Du Yuemei filtered the high-level leaders of the Li Group one by one, and finally looked at Zhang Ziyu, feeling that if she was to preside over the affairs of the Asian region, it seemed to be a very good note.

Du Yuemei said, "Li Sheng, I have a candidate, but I don't know if you can agree." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Yuemei, tell me who it is, if you can be transferred, I will agree with you." ”

Du Yuemei looked at Zhang Ziyu and said, "Li Sheng, I think Ziyu is very suitable as the person in charge of our Bentley Group in Asia, she is very familiar with the Asian region, and there is no problem in being responsible for our group's business here with her ability, it depends on whether Li Sheng is willing to let him go." ”

Li Guangyu didn't expect Du Yuemei to dig people to his side, Zhang Ziyu has been Li Guangyu's assistant for more than a year, and Li Guangyu is also used to the existence of this assistant. Li Guangyu originally wanted Zhang Ziyu to be an assistant for a few more years, and when Li Guangyu entered the mobile phone industry, Zhang Ziyu would preside over this work.

Li Guangyu smiled and said, "Yuemei, when did you start paying attention to Purple Rain?"

"Li Sheng, when I was in England, I wanted Ziyu to stay, but the business of the Bentley Group was not heavy at that time, so I didn't mention it to you. This time, with the establishment of our Baodao production base and the development of the joint venture with FAW, it is now just right for Ziyu to lead the work. Du Yuemei said.

Li Guangyu looked at Zhang Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, would you like to work here at Bentley, if you go over, you will serve as the vice president of Bentley Group and the president of Asia affairs." ”

Zhang Ziyu was prepared for this, Du Yuemei had communicated with her, hoping that she would work in the Bentley Group, and this time after Du Yuemei came to Xiangjiang, she mentioned this matter to her again. Although it is not bad to be an assistant next to Li Sheng, after all, he does not have as much power as the vice president of the group, and this time he is directly responsible for the Asian affairs of the Bentley Group, Zhang Ziyu is still very tempted.

After all, he can't guarantee that he will be able to become the president of the group when he comes out of Li Sheng, and his predecessors have not yet become the president of the group, so he might as well go out as soon as possible and become the vice president of the group, and the chances of promotion in the future will be greater.

Zhang Ziyu said, "Li Sheng, I obey your arrangement. ”

Li Guangyu saw that Zhang Ziyu was willing to go to Bentley, Li Guangyu thought about it, and agreed to Du Yuemei's request, allowing Zhang Ziyu to serve as the vice president of Bentley Group and the president of Asian affairs.

Li Guangyu said, "Ziyu, since you have now become the vice president of Bentley Group, you will be responsible for the inspection of Shuangqing. Mainly go over there to investigate first, to see what kind of model Shuangqing Chang'an manufacturing plant is suitable for, you and Yuemei communicate about this, if that side is really not suitable for the development of the group, we will wait a few years. ”

Zhang Ziyu replied, "Li Sheng, I have made plans to go to Shuangqing in the past two days, and I will definitely find a proper plan to promote the mutual benefit and win-win situation between our Bentley and Chang'an manufacturing plant." ”

Li Guangyu then instructed Du Yuemei: "After you arrive on Baodao this time, focus on inspecting Taipei to see if it is suitable for the construction of our Bentley Group's base, and we had better put the construction base in this area." ”

Du Yuemei replied, "Okay Li Sheng, after I go to Baodao tomorrow, I will communicate with Dean Sun Yunxuan, so that our production base can be completed as soon as possible and put into production." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Then you go and have a good rest, and you will rush to the treasure island tomorrow." ”

Li Guangyu said to Zhang Ziyu, "You stand on the last shift today, and start going to work at Bentley tomorrow." ”
