Chapter 646 【Looking to Catch and Going Back】

In late March, Wu Guangyao arrived in London by private jet.

In Yaoyue Manor, Wu Guangyao, Kayla, the eldest son Wu Xianlei, a family of five, the second son Wu Xianyu’s family of four, the eldest daughter Wu Qianxun’s family of three, and the third son Wu Xianming, had a wonderful weekend.

When Wu Xianlei returned to the United States, Wu Guangyao pulled him and said privately: "Is there any confidence in the acquisition of ABC?"

Wu Xianlei did not answer directly in the affirmative, but said with concern: "Father, in terms of business, my conditions are sufficient in all aspects. Now the only one is stuck with the Federal Communications Commission! But my father can rest assured that we and Goldman Sachs, the Mellon Consortium, and California Finance have formed an alliance and are sending people to lobby around. Finally, I will ask President Reagan for help. There must be no problem!"

Disney’s listing is looking for the Alliance of Finance and Unity to help the next acquisition.

Wu Guangyao nodded. Wu Xianlei is now fully integrated into the upper class of the United States. His father-in-law has been promoted by Reagan to the majority leader of the Senate and is the highest-ranking member of the majority of the Senate;

Wu Xianlei himself controls public opinion in the United States, owning a number of newspapers and the Disney Company.

In previous lives, Disney was able to acquire ABC in the year before the US Telecommunications Act was determined. Obviously, there is no legal denial.

However, Wu Guangyao decided to add fire to Wu Xianlei and make this acquisition as soon as possible!

"I learned from a secret channel that someone might assassinate President Reagan, you can remind him!"

Wu Xianlei was shocked, the news is really shocking!

"Father, where did you get the news?" Wu Xianlei asked urgently. Reagan is his fundamental support. After investing so long, there is no return, so there can be no accident.

Wu Guangyao pretended to be uncertain and said, “I don’t know the specific channel of the news! But I seem to have heard that it was on the 30th of this month when I was meeting with the union team in the hotel.”

Wu Xianlei heard it, and calculated the time. It was only the 26th today, and it was too late to rush back to the United States, so he let out a sigh of relief!

"Thank you father for reminding me. I will visit President Reagan on the 28th and tell him in private! I believe he values ​​it with my personal relationship with him."

Wu Guangyao frowned, and said, “Then you have to pay attention to the rhetoric, and what channel you got it from, so as not to be suspected!”

Wu Xianlei nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Americans all know that I am the biggest supporter of President Reagan. I told President Reagan that someone handed me a note!"

This method works!

Wu Guangyao patted Wu Xianlei on the shoulder, and said lovingly: "If the incident is true, the people owe you there will be great! Remember, you don't directly ask him for help; if there is something to help him, you can let him inadvertently. I know, if he cherishes his relationship with you, he will help you!"

Wu Xianlei said with a smile: "Father's trick is called'snatching, it's the 16th of our Chinese's 36 strategies!"

Wu Guangyao nodded with satisfaction. These own children know a lot of Chinese culture, and they are one of the best gifts their mother has given him.

Monday.

Wu Guangyao followed Kayla to Crewe, and inspected many brand car factories invested by Lufeng Automobile Group.

At this time, Lufeng Motor Group plans to own five car brands: Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Land Rover, Jaguar, and MINI.

In other words, Lufeng Automobile Group chose to abandon the acquisition of other brands of Leyland Automobile, because if all of them are acquired, it may lead to suspected antitrust investigations.

These five car brands are enough to realize Wu Guangyao’s car dream;

At this time, in addition to these five auto brands, Lufeng Automobile also owns many auto parts companies and has reached a long-term cooperation agreement with British engine giant Vickers.

The specific plans of the five car brands are:

The Rolls-Royce brand will not be changed for the time being. It is still positioned as luxurious and purely handmade. However, the output has been adjusted slightly, and the output has increased by about 20%; of course, purely handmade is only the engine and a few car body parts, and the others are all integrated stamping Technology made.

The Bentley Motors brand has been adjusted from a luxury brand to a mid-to-high-end brand. After all, a company does not need two luxury brands; even in later generations, Rolls-Royce and Bentley are separated, and the luxury brands that both maintain are continued. .

Land Rover focuses on the field of off-road vehicles, Jaguar focuses on the field of bridge cars, station wagons, and sports cars, and MINI focuses on the fields of mini-cars and ladies' cars.

It can be said that the five car brands basically cover the entire series of cars;

As for trucks, buses and other fields, Wu Guangyao chose to let Kayla give up.

When I came to the Lufeng Automobile headquarters in Crewe, Kayla introduced Wu Guangyao to a senior executive of the Lufeng Automobile Group.

After some introduction, Wu Guangyao looked at Lufeng Automobile Group President Brooke and said with a smile: “It’s time for the British to learn from the Germans’ experience in the automotive field!”

Vice President Wall blushed because he is British;

Brooke responded: “It’s not too late, Mr. Wu, what do you think!”

Wu Guangyao said something quite philosophical: "A good meal is not afraid of late!"

This remark received serious thought from a group of high-level officials!

The Wu family is the shareholder of Lufeng Group, it is only natural for Wu Guangyao to appear here!

Wall said: "Mr. Wu, can you provide some help in the negotiations with the mainland?"

Wu Guangyao asked, "How can I help?"

Wall immediately said: "With your influence on the Chinese and Hong Kong's status, it is enough for the mainland to treat us preferentially!"

Wu Guangyao said sternly: "I have never participated in political activities, and I have never used my influence to manipulate some political forces! Mr. Wall, I know that it is very difficult for you to negotiate with the mainland; but you should also understand that compared to the general public We have no advantage for more influential auto brands such as Toyota and Toyota."

Wall said: “But the mainland has no advantage. It also puts forward various rules and regulations. I believe many car companies are considering the feasibility of cooperation!”

Wu Guangyao again solemnly said: "Wrong, wrong, wrong! The mainland has a big advantage, that is the market; you don’t look at the current regulations, but as long as the policy becomes more and more open, these regulations will gradually disappear. Then whoever starts. Know how to invest, know how to give, the more you get in the end. Mr. Wall, I did not intend to interfere with your work, but today I want to remind you that friends need to build trust at the beginning, so I hope you review Own work!"

What Wu Guangyao said is the fact that there are many rules and regulations that are opened. Even if you sign some agreements, the mainland will remove these rules and regulations after the final policy development, such as the issue of foreign exchange balance.

After listening, everyone started to think!

For a long time, Wall finally said sincerely: "I will seriously listen to Mr. Wu's opinion!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "This is how the negotiation is. When it is not a key interest, we must know how to be humble, otherwise we will never succeed! What we have to do is to seize the German and Japanese car market in the mainland market. We used to be proud of our cars in the UK, but now it’s gone, it’s time to study the market!"

A group of high-level executives, while chatting, take a bus to the car factory for inspection;

Lufeng Automobile Group put Baodu in Crewe;

A total of five auto factories were built, with a total investment of 1.5 billion US dollars;

Five new car factories, corresponding to five car brands, will be put into use in two years.

In addition to the five newly-built factories, there are also four auto factories in Crewe, and the group first came to the Rolls-Royce Motor Factory.

Looking at the professional technicians who are working meticulously, Wu Guangyao nodded secretly;

These may be the spirit brought by the German Brooke, and the rigorous work attitude of the Germans.

"President Brooke, does the Rolls-Royce brand have customized services?"

"Yes, but mainly for the British royal family!"

Wu Guangyao frowned and said, "This is not possible. We are a commercial company and cannot be too arrogant! In this way, we will set up a business team to be responsible for this service. For example, I know a friend in the United States, her Las Vegas Gas’s largest casino will be open in two years. I think she might want to order a dozen customized Rolls-Royce cars. For example, if the royal family of various countries has demand, they can order a unique car; Anyway, we are also hand-made and will not increase the cost; on the contrary, this kind of customization will greatly enhance the reputation of the Rolls-Royce brand, and we can also increase the price."

Rolls-Royce only produced less than 2,000 vehicles a year, and the profit Wu Guangyao could not appreciate, but it is a good choice to enhance the reputation and status of the Wu family in Europe.

A group of high-level executives shined in front of them, and they all agreed!

Furthermore, Rolls-Royce is not arrogant anymore, after all, it has been included in the new car group.

After attending the Rolls-Royce car factory, he went to the nearby Bentley car factory.

Wu Guangyao said: “After the new factory is established, Bentley will use assembly line production. By then, it will be very popular in the United States. Americans bought high-end car brands with money from mid-range cars.”

Brooke said with a smile: "Anyway, a company has two luxury brands, and it is the best choice to take out one brand to sink!"

Everyone echoed this point of view!

After two full days of visiting in Crewe, Wu Guangyao and Kayla returned to London contentedly.

In the car, Kayla nestled in Wu Guangyao's arms and said worriedly: "Lufeng Automobile Group has invested 3 billion U.S. dollars. What if it fails?"

Wu Guangyao stroked Kayla’s hair and said, “I’m just giving you a gift. You’re tired of playing with it. It’s not a pity to throw it away!”

Kayla said dissatisfiedly: "When did I throw away your gift!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Just make an analogy! In short, if we fail to succeed, we have worked hard! Besides, 3 billion US dollars, just sprinkling water, I don't care about it!"

Kayla turned white like Wu Guangyao, and was buried in Wu Guangyao's arms lovingly.

At this time, Wu Guangyao thought to himself, how could it be unsuccessful!

Even if you don’t have any foresight, these car brands cannot disappear in your family!

After all, these cars have a history, and the UK is not short of technology.

The reason why the British sold these car brands in the past life was just that they did not pay attention to the real economy, and they only sold the right to use the car brands.

Never move out of the UK like factories.
