647 Banquet for Yang Xuelan
As Li Feng brought people to Ellsworth's mansion, the news that Li Feng was going to buy art began to spread in New York, causing the relevant personnel to be ready to move.
Zhou Jiana stayed in Ellsworth's apartment with a team of artworks, ready to have a friendly handover with Ellsworth's people, and the process of identification and valuation by category will not be short, according to Li Feng's estimates, it will take at least 3 or 4 days.
In the afternoon of 2 days later, Li Feng took Wang Siqing and a group of security guards to visit Yang Xuelan's mansion in New York, Yang Xuelan's home is in the famous Park Avenue, in fact, seriously speaking, it is not far from Li Feng's mansion, which is built around Central Park.
If you want to talk about luxury houses in New York, the first recommendation is naturally the mansions of Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, and the Yang Xuelan family is also one of the few Chinese families who can settle down in the top luxury residential areas in New York.
When Li Feng's motorcade arrived, it was similar to Ellsworth's mansion before, and Yang Xuelan led people to greet him in person in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment.
The entire floor is the residence of the Yang Xuelan family, which is the basic standard configuration of the luxury apartment on the Upper East Side, and some are still connected by several floors, which is similar to the apartment owned by Ellsworth before, and the entire floor belongs to the two families of Gu Yan where Yang Xuelan is located, and it is said that the owner is still the first person in the famous Republic of China diplomacy - Gu Weijun.
Of course, today's Gu Weijun has died a long time ago, and the owner is Yang Xuelan's mother, Gu Weijun's widow, and the former celebrity of the old magic capital - Mrs. Yan Youyun, the old lady should be nearly 100 years old, and she is a real long-lived person.
……
Li Feng's arrival made Yang Xuelan and her family lively for a while, from the old man from Yan Youyun to her two daughters and son-in-law (the young daughter died early), and it was very grand.
"Ms. Yang, I heard that you are still the vice president of General Motors, and you are in charge of the affairs of the joint venture of General Motors in Huamodu, and this visit to you actually wants to talk to you, my automobile industry company lacks a president who can control the overall situation, are you interested? ”
After greeting Yang Xuelan's family, Li Feng sat in the living room with him and several family members and chatted, and finally Li Feng directly explained the purpose of his trip.
"It's... John, your invitation is so sudden, besides, I'm in my 60s now, and I'm going to retire in 2 years, do you think it's appropriate?"
"You can first look at the size of my industrial group, and the expansion plan I am preparing next, you can see if there is any possibility of cooperation?" Li Feng said with a smile and handed over a document.
"This should be John's confidential of your company, it's even more inappropriate to show me, I still don't read it. ”
"Haha... It's not classified, I'm sure there's a similar report in GM's lab, isn't it!"
"If you're sure, I'll take a look, but I can't give you any guarantees. ”
"It's nothing, just take a look at it, at the same time, I want you to think about it seriously, I believe that your mission in GM has been completed, and GM will not give you any chance to improve, I think I may be a new opportunity for you to develop your career." ”
“…”
……
Listening to Li Feng's confident and somewhat arrogant talk, Yang Xuelan thought in her heart, is Li Feng too arrogant, after all, the target you are poaching now is the vice president of General Motors, who is known as the 'world's No. 1 car company'.
Not only did Yang Xuelan think so in her heart, but in fact, Tang Liuqian, the brother-in-law sitting on the side, the Chinese director of Metropolis, and the Chinese financial banker, may also think so.
In fact, what Li Feng gave was just a copy of the current scale of his industrial company and the target that he was about to prepare for acquisition, that is, the acquisition plan of South Korea's Daewoo, and there was nothing in this information that must be kept secret.
The scale of Li Feng's industrial company is not a secret, as long as you pay a little attention to the investigation, you can clearly investigate clearly, and the companies that Li Feng is currently acquiring are some super luxury brand cars, such as Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, etc., these brands are very famous.
A real giant car company, relying on these luxury brands alone is obviously not enough, after all, the people who can afford these top brands are a minority, and most of them are ordinary brands to occupy the mainstream market, which is why the corporate brands of South Korea and Japan can compete with many European and American car brands in the European and American markets, relying on good quality and low price.
As a senior automotive talent, Yang Xuelan naturally knows the intention of Li Feng's planned acquisition of Daewoo, and even the situation of Daewoo in South Korea Yang Xuelan still has a certain understanding, knowing that Daewoo is now in difficulty, and the crazy and blind expansion in the first few years of his reign has led to the company falling into trouble and paying the bill.
Yang Xuelan didn't expect that Li Feng, the newly rising super-rich, would also be like General Motors, eyeing Daewoo's fat.
In fact, Daewoo was eventually acquired by General Motors in history, which also had the background at the time, after all, after the financial crisis, most of South Korea's large enterprises were controlled by European and American conglomerates, and it is not surprising that Daewoo was cheaply annexed.
Now that Li Feng is also eyeing this piece of fat, it is not certain what the result will be.
……
"John, I didn't expect that several of the luxury brands you acquired turned a profit, and in my impression, I seem to remember that these companies were on the verge of losing money and going bankrupt before you bought them. Yang Xuelan praised with a smile after flipping through the information documents.
"Hehe, it's just luck. ”
"It's not just luck, I think your company focuses on developing new markets, such as Asia and the Middle East, and these strategies are very shrewd. As the president of Huaxia General Motors, Yang Xuelan is very aware of the potential of the Asian market, so she replied with a smile.
"Ms. Yang, I believe that if we can acquire Daewoo, the scale of the automobile company will become one of the world's largest automobile giants, although there is still a gap with the world's top giants like General Motors, but I believe that there will always be opportunities to slowly get closer.
I am very optimistic about the economic development of Asia, especially China, and I believe you should also know that I have made large-scale investments in China, and the financial media in the United States even say that I am ready to 'defect' to the Red Empire.
If I acquire Daewoo, I will make a series of adjustments, reduce these blind expansion projects in Europe and the United States, strengthen investment in Asia, and even consider relocating a few factories to Huaxia as a whole, Daewoo Motors has always been synonymous with high quality and low price in the automotive field, which is really suitable for the current car market in Huaxia. ”
"John, if you have a plan, why do you want to pull me, an old woman who is about to retire. Facing Li Feng's sincere invitation, Yang Xuelan asked hesitantly.
……
To be honest, Yang Xuelan is really a little excited, after all, Li Feng's plan is very tempting, if he can really acquire Daewoo, Li Feng's automobile company will become the fourth largest car company of the United States imperialism in one leap, which is absolutely eye-catching.
