Chapter 195: The Source of the Problem
At 8:45 a.m. the next day, Li Guangyu, Du Yuemei, and Zhang Ziyu came to the outside of Jaguar's headquarters, waiting for William Lyons' arrival. Flash Dance
Jaguar's top management apparently also received the news that William Lyons was coming to the company, and the company's top management, led by President Sampson Gerrard, also came to the outside of the headquarters to greet the veteran who single-handedly founded the company.
Sampson Gerrard walked over to Li Guangyu and said, "Hello Ms. Du, this is Mr. Li next to you." ā
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Gerald, it's a pleasure to meet you. ā
Sampson Gerrard said, "Mr. Lee, you have gone to great lengths to acquire our company. First he did the work of the government, and now he has invited Mr. Lyons, it seems that Li Sheng is determined to win our Jaguar company. ā
Li Guangyu knows that the last person he wants to buy Jaguar is the president of Jaguar in front of him.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Gerrard, this is also Mr. Lyons's development of Jaguar very well, Jaguar has this qualification to be valued by me, and I also hope that Jaguar can become a generation of hegemon in the automotive industry in my hands as it was when Mr. Lyons led it." ā
Sampson Gerrard's face was a little stiff when he listened to Li Guangyu's words, Li Guangyu obviously said that he was not capable of leading the development of Jaguar and looked down on his ability.
Sampson Gerrard said, "Mr. Li, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, all the employees of our company don't welcome you to join our company, I advise Mr. Li to retreat." 35xsā
Li Guangyu smiled and said, "Mr. Gerald, I'm afraid you can't represent all the employees of Jaguar." Mr. Gerard had better think of a way out in the future, and not block his own path, which would be tragic in the future. ā
Sampson Gerard also said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, I don't need you to worry about my way out, I won't even be able to find a job." ā
When Li Guangyu was about to say anything more, William Lyons had already arrived outside the headquarters building.
After Lyons saw Li Guangyu and them, he said to Sampson Gerrard and the others, "You all go and get busy with the company's affairs, you don't need to accompany me, I'll look around the company." ā
Sampson Gerrard said, "Mr. Lyons, let me stay with you, and I tell them all to go back to work." ā
William Lyons had no intention of letting Sampson Gerrard accompany him, and said to him, "No need, I'm familiar with this place, just let Shane accompany me, and don't delay your work." ā
Seeing that William Lyons insisted on not accompanying him, Sampson Gerrard could only say to Shane Wesley, the director of the automotive design department next to him, "Shane, please accompany Mr. Lyons on a tour of the company." ā
Sampson Gerrard then instructed the senior staff to go back to work, and then said goodbye to William Lyons and Lee Guangyu. 35xs
After Sampson Gerrard and others left, William Lyons said to Lee Guangyu: "Shane Wesley was in charge of the design department before I left the company, and Jaguar's exterior design has been relied on him for so many years. ā
Li Guangyu said enthusiastically, "Hello Mr. Wesley, it's a pleasure to meet you." ā
Shane Wesley also said enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Lee. ā
Then Li Guangyu and a few people followed William Lyons to visit the Jaguar company, and at the same time, William Lyons was also introducing some personnel to Li Guangyu and letting Li Guangyu know.
Shane Wesley, who accompanied them on the tour, knew that this was William Lyons helping Li Guangyu enter the company to pave the way and support Li Guangyu's intention to acquire Jaguar, and the people who contacted the company and Li Guangyu understood it very well.
Shane Wesley himself also hopes that Lee Guangyu can buy Jaguar, and he is now very dissatisfied with some high-level executives led by Sampson Gerrard, not to mention the lack of progress, and has brought politics into the company.
The reason why Sampson Gerrard strongly opposed Lee Guangyu's takeover this time was because Sampson Gerrard belonged to the Labor Party. They are strongly opposed to the Conservative Party's attempt to privatize state-owned enterprises using Jaguar as a model. This time, Sampson Gerrard has some bigwigs of the Labor Party behind him, so he is so fearless, knowing that the government intends to sell Jaguar to Li Guangyu, and still opposing Li Guangyu's acquisition with some high-level officials.
Under the introduction of William Lyons, Li Guangyu communicated with Chemir Maxon, chairman of the Jaguar trade union.
The old man, who had followed William Lyons for many years, did not have a clear party position. Since William Lyons supported Lee Guangyu's acquisition of Jaguar, he himself supported Lee Guangyu's acquisition.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Michelson, please communicate more with the company's employees, after I buy Jaguar, I will never reduce their salary and benefits." And when we open up the market in Asia, our company's welfare will improve as the company's performance increases. ā
Chemir Mixon said, "Mr. Lee, since you can win the support of Lyons, I believe that you can lead the development of Jaguar well, in terms of employees, you can rest assured, I will communicate with them, as long as their salary and benefits remain the same, they will not care too much about who this company belongs to, and some of Sampson's practices nowadays, employees are not very satisfied." ā
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Michelson, thank you for your support, after I become the owner of Jaguar, I will definitely develop Jaguar, and I will not let Mr. Lyons and you down." ā
At noon, Li Guangyu also invited William Lyons, Shane Wesley and Chemir Maxon to dine together in a restaurant near Jaguar.
At the end of the luncheon, Lee said to Shane Wesley, "Mr. Wesley, thank you for accompanying me this morning, and please continue to lead the company's design department, the company needs you to develop and grow." ā
Shane Wesley replied, "Mr. Lee is gracious, and I also hope that after you take ownership of Jaguar, we Jaguar will be able to reproduce the glory of the 60s." ā
......
In the afternoon, Lee immediately contacted the government representative, Weaver Clark, to tell him about the day and ask him to start negotiations on the Jaguar acquisition as soon as possible.
Weaver Clark said, "Mr. Lee, we can go to Jaguar headquarters again tomorrow to discuss the acquisition, and if Sampson Gerrard and the others still block it this time, I will report to the Prime Minister, who is personally following the acquisition." ā
Lee said, "Mr. Clark, thank you for your support. ā
As a member of the Conservative Party, Weaver Clark will never let Weaver Clarke jump out to stir up trouble and interrupt their reform plan this time. When necessary, you can even directly let Li Guangyu take over Jaguar first and kick Sampson Gerrard out of the crowd, as long as Jaguar employees don't make trouble, there will be no problem at all.
Weaver Clark said, "Mr. Lee, I also hope that you can communicate more with Jaguar employees, as long as they have no problems, we can close this deal." ā
Li Guangyu said: "I will arrange for Ms. Du Yuemei to do this." ā
