Chapter 910: On the eve of leaving

Lee's team spent five days in Vancouver, where Lee's industry met no obstacles because Canada is part of the British Commonwealth.

Even the establishment of logistics and maintenance bases at Vancouver Airport was approved by the Vancouver City Council.

This is the first step for Heung Kong Air Transport Group to expand into Asia, and Vancouver will be the starting point for their global expansion, and with the maintenance base in Vancouver, the Lee consortium will be able to open more routes in North America.

On December 15, Lee was invited by the Vancouver Council to give a speech at the City Council.

This was the first time Lee Kwang Woo had given a speech in a local parliament, and there was no experience to draw on.

Lee Guangyu's speech at the parliament lasted half an hour, firstly before expressing his love for Vancouver, and secondly, highlighting Vancouver's excellent geographical and transportation environment and investment environment.

The third said that Lee's Industrial Group is willing to work with the citizens of Vancouver to build Vancouver into a better place, and Lee's Industrial Group is willing to contribute to Vancouver's economy.

Fourth, it highlights that Lee's industry is a socially responsible enterprise, and is willing to help the citizens of Vancouver in need.

Li Guangyu said at the Vancouver City Council: "We are not coming in to rob anyone's market, we hope that our companies can provide high-quality services to the citizens of Vancouver and even the entire Canadian people, so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by our Lee's industry, and at the same time, our industry will also increase cooperation with Canadian companies, so that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results." ”

Li Guangyu then cited the benefits of Bentley Motors Group's production base in Vancouver to Vancouver Auto Parts Company, as well as the orders that Hengyu Supermarket Group has brought to Vancouver and countless companies throughout Canada.

At the same time, it also emphasized the huge resources of Jiayi Cinema Line, and was willing to reach in-depth cooperation with entertainment film and television companies in Vancouver.

The Vancouver MPs were very happy to hear Lee Kwang-woo's speech, because many of them were related to their vital interests, especially auto parts and entertainment film and television companies, which are two important pillars of Vancouver's development, and the cooperation with the Lee consortium will allow them to gain more benefits.

It was also Li Guangyu's speech that contributed to the rapid approval of some of his industries through the parliament and the government, which saved a lot of time for his development.

American companies are coming faster than Lee imagined, especially Walmart.

Originally, there were two stores in Vancouver, in order to snipe the Li consortium outside the Canadian market, five new supermarkets in Vancouver, where the Li industry started, were specially added, and now they are starting to select a location, in order to completely occupy this market before Hengyu Supermarket comes in.

On the eve of leaving Vancouver, Li Guangyu specially instructed Shane Wesley, the person in charge here, that Wesley will stay in Vancouver for a long time in the future, in addition to being responsible for the affairs of the Bentley Group in North America, he will also serve as the head of the affairs of the Lee Consortium in Canada, and preside over the development of the Lee Consortium's industry in Canada.

Shane Wesley was very excited when he heard that Li Guangyu had put him in charge of the Canadian affairs of the Lee Foundation, and so far, the regional head of the Li Foundation has never been held by a person outside Hong Kong, and he is the first.

As a senior executive of the Li Foundation, he also hopes that one day he can become one of the core personnel of the Consortium and take charge of the Li Foundation's comprehensive consortium with a market value of more than 100 billion.

The head of Canada is only the first step in his advancement, and he is very hopeful to become the head of North America in the future, so that he can enter the executive team of the Lee Foundation.

At present, Peng Xiaoli, the head of North America, is not young, as long as she enters the palace of marriage, it means that the position of the head of North America will be vacant, and at present, he has a very good chance to take over this position.

He said excitedly to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, please rest assured, I will lead the development of our industry in Canada, repel the sniping of American companies against us, and let our industry take root in Canada and become the leader of the same industry in Canada." ”

The reason why Li Guangyu arranged Shane Wesley as the person in charge of Canada is that the Li consortium has entered Canada with a large number of industries and a relatively large amount of investment, so it needs a person to coordinate the cooperation and development of various enterprises.

Second, Shane Wesley is British, and it is easier for him to deal with the Canadian government and facilitate the development of the Lee consortium in Canada.

Li Guangyu said: "Wesley, this time, our Hengyu Supermarket Group and Vancouver Communications Company, a joint venture with the Vancouver City Council, will take the lead in large-scale expansion, and you need to assist them in their development and provide them with help." As for the expansion of your Bentley Group, you will handle it according to Zhang Ziyu's requirements. ”

The investment involves Bentley Group, Heung Kong Air Transport Group, South China Group, Heung Kong Telecom Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Wheelock Group.

In addition, Phoenix Mobile will also enter the Canadian market and establish direct stores in various places to promote the group's occupation of the Canadian mobile phone market.

The reason why Li Guangyu deliberately emphasized these two companies is mainly to cope with the competition of the American consortium, whether it is the Canadian mobile communications company jointly owned by Motorola and the Canadian government, or Wal-Mart supermarkets have already been deployed throughout Canada.

In order to be able to keep the two sides on the same competitive side, both Hengyu Supermarket Group and Vancouver Communications Company must speed up the layout, and strive to be able to catch up with the gap between the two sides within one year.

The Vancouver City Government is very supportive of accelerating the national layout, and they and Heung Kong Communications Group jointly injected 500 million US dollars into the company to lay out the construction of signal base stations in major cities in Canada.

As for the signal base stations in market towns and villages, they need to make profits to continue to expand in the future, Canada is too large in land area, and the population is not large, and at present, Canadian mobile communication companies are only building signal base stations in various cities, and they do not need to invest huge amounts of money to cover the countryside at the beginning, which is really not cost-effective.

Shane Wesley responded: "I will focus on the development of Hengyu Supermarket Group and Vancouver Communications, I believe that the strength of these two groups, whether it is Motorola or Walmart, we have the strength to compete with them." ”

After Shane Wesley left, Lee was alone thinking about his next stop - Mexico, and in his previous life, Lee Guangyu listened to the most about how the United States could prevent smugglers at the border, and some American presidents even proposed to build a wall at the border.

Mexico is still controlled by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which has been in power for nearly 60 years since the end of the civil war, and working directly with the government would be the best option in a region like this.

Lee really doesn't know what well-known companies are in Mexico, and there is no NAFTA agreement between Mexico and the United States, so it is not particularly unfair for the Lee consortium and American companies to compete in Mexico.

Petroleos Mexicanos, but it is not bad, but it is currently mainly monopolized by the Mexican government, and it is impossible for Li Guangyu to intervene.

This time, Li Guangyu hopes that his industry will occupy the Latin American market, and Mexico and Brazil will be settled in the north and south at the same time, which can accelerate his plan.
