Chapter 867: London Adjustment
In the past few months, Li Guangyu and his family went to California to watch the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and at the same time made arrangements for the affairs there, especially the US branch of Tianyu Investment Company, which Liang Botao managed.
In his previous life, Li Guangyu didn't know much about the high-tech companies in the United States, but he knew some very well-known companies very well.
Just this year, another well-known company was established, the famous Cisco officially established the company in this year, and the founder of this company is a teacher at the University of California, how could Li Guangyu want to miss this company,
In the last decade of the twentieth century, when the market value of Cisco's stock market was directly comparable to Microsoft's, Li Guangyu asked Liang Botao to pay close attention to the company, strive to take more shares of the company, and when it was suppressed, transfer some of its shares to Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, a consortium of California.
Li Guangyu knew that he controlled most of Cisco's shares and could not develop rapidly in the United States, so he ate a part of the shares first, and then sold them to Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch to earn a part of the price difference, and with the support of these two companies, Cisco can develop better.
In addition, Li Guangyu also went to London in early September, Du Yuemei was pregnant, and she was no longer suitable for such a high-intensity and high-pressure job.
On September 3, Li Guangyu held a high-level meeting of the British Telecom Group in London, which was attended by the management of the Lee's consortium in Western Europe and above the ninth level.
At the meeting, Ganchen announced the appointments of the various groups.
With immediate effect, Ms. Du Yuemei has ceased to be the head of Western Europe at the Lee Consortium and is no longer the chairman and chief executive officer of the Bentley Group. ”
Du Yuemei had already prepared in her heart, and Li Guangyu also communicated with her personally, so she had no opinion on this change of position.
Gan Qin then announced: "From now on, Mr. Koo Zhengsheng will be the head of Western Europe at Lee Industries, with full authority to handle Western European affairs. ”
Later, Gan Qin announced the changes one by one, Zhang Ziyu stepped down from the current position of executive vice president and president of Asian affairs, and took over as the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of the Bentley Group, responsible for all affairs of the Bentley Group.
Qin Yu stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of BT Group, and was succeeded by Zhao Qihui, Chief Executive Officer of Heung Kong Communications Group.
Bentley Group Executive Vice President is Vice President Jesley Johnson, Bentley Group Asia President is Vice President Zhang Minqi, General Manager of Administration Department Xiang Xianli is Group Vice President, and Ren Hongxia is General Manager of Group Administration Department.
After Gan Qin's announcement, Li Guangyu said: "In the past few years, under the leadership of Ms. Du Yuemei, our Li industry has made a breakthrough development in Western Europe. ”
"Mr. Gu Zhengsheng has rich management experience, and has served as the head of our company's treasure island region, as well as the head of Southeast Asia, and I hope you can cooperate with Mr. Gu's work. ”
For several years, these people have been working under Du Yuemei's leadership, and it is necessary for Li Guangyu to make a special effort to avoid some high-level officials ignoring the new person in charge after Du Yuemei leaves office.
Zhang Ziyu and Zhao Qihui and other senior executives responded that they must cooperate with Gu Zhengsheng's work and lead the group to achieve better development.
Gu Zhengsheng said: "Li Sheng, I will definitely manage our industry in Western Europe well and live up to your trust in me. ”
Gu Zhengsheng feels that he is very lucky, some vice presidents who used to be higher than his own positions are still the vice president of the group in recent years, and he has stepped from the general manager of a subsidiary to the current high position, which is in addition to his own ability, Li Guangyu's attention to him is the biggest factor.
And this has to say that my first opportunity, if it wasn't for the fact that I was the vice president of Jiayi Group at the time and was arranged to be in charge of the affairs there, there would have been no subsequent series of promotions.
You must know that Western Europe is a very important region of the Lee Foundation, if Greater China is the first, this side is definitely second, even if the current development in Southeast Asia is much larger than this, but in terms of status, this side is much higher than Southeast Asia.
This time, he was able to take charge of the affairs of such an important area, and he knew that he also had an element of luck.
He knew that if it weren't for Gan Qinglin's seniority being older than Du Yuemei, it would be Gan Qinglin who came over this time, where would it be his turn.
He now only hopes that the Lee consortium's enterprises in Western Europe will develop rapidly under his leadership, so as to prove his ability and that he is qualified for this position.
Li Guangyu said: "At present, our most important task in Western Europe is to enter the market of mobile communications in these regions, and now the London area has begun to operate, and the current business of the Phoenix Group is not bad, Ding Sheng, you tell me about the sales situation in the past few days." ”
Phoenix Group attaches great importance to the British market, and Vice President Ding Jincheng personally came to London.
After listening to Li Guangyu's instructions, he said: "Li Sheng, the day before yesterday, British Mobile was officially put into operation, and we have 6 directly operated stores in the London metropolitan area and 16 agents of British Mobile. According to statistics, 3,564 units have been sold in the past two days, and the market response has been very good. ”
Li Guangyu was not complacent about such a result, this is their home stadium, and such a result cannot be said to be very good.
Lee asked, "What about Motorola and Lokia?"
Tang Yan, vice president of British Telecom Group, said: "Li Sheng, as of last evening, the number of mobile phone users connected to the network was 7125, that is, our Phoenix mobile phone accounted for half of the market's sales, and the other half was occupied by Lokia and Motorola. ”
For such data, Li Guangyu is not good to say anything, the quality of the three mobile phones is about the same, the price is also about the same, and there can be such a market share in the UK, which has already reflected that the Li consortium has not been in vain for many years of operation here.
Li Guangyu said: "Ding Sheng, your company should increase the publicity of mobile phones, let more citizens know about our products, and promote the proportion of our mobile phones in the British market." At the same time, we should pay attention to the French, West German and Italian markets, France is our side in the joint venture to establish a mobile communication company, West Germany and Italy are Lokia and Ericsson, then the two countries we have limited influence, you must make a layout as soon as possible. ”
In Western Europe, there are the Lee consortium, Lokia, and Ericsson competing for the mobile communications market, while in Japan, South Korea, Baodao, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, the Lee consortium is conquering the city, and in North America, it is the US domestic companies that dominate.
The joint venture mobile communication company on the island side has been put into operation, and the Singapore joint venture company is stepping up the layout of signal base stations, which are expected to be put into use by the end of December.
On the Japanese side, Sumitomo and Mitsui are the two major consortia, with Heung Kong Communications Group holding only 30% of the shares in the Japanese joint venture, Mitsui Consortium 40%, and Sumitomo Consortium also 30%.
Because Li Guangyu has seized the market on a large scale, he has also accelerated the development of the mobile communications market, whether it is Ericsson or Lokia, as well as several companies in the United States, they have accelerated their external layout, hoping to occupy an advantage in this round of market competition.
Ding Jincheng will be stationed in Western Europe for the next two years, responsible for the development of the Phoenix Group in this market, except for the advantages of the Li consortium in the United Kingdom over Lokia and Motorola, there is no advantage in other regions, especially in West Germany, where the mobile communication company is a joint venture of Lokia.
If you want to dominate the Western European continent, at present, you can only work publicity, and the price and quality of several mobile phones are about the same, and now you can only fight for fame, which is also what he will focus on next.
