Chapter 1172 Ted Comes to China
At the Shanghai International Airport, a long line of Mercedes-Benz cars drove straight to the State Guesthouse. In the car, Li Jianxi looked at the tall buildings and wide roads outside. Although his face was calm, his heart was already in turmoil.
To be honest, before the deal with Yang Dongxu, he really didn't expect that Yang Dongxu's purpose of taking Samsung shares was to trade with the Spencer family, the car market that no one was optimistic about.
He can be said to know Huaxia Automobile very well, because Samsung actually entered the Chinese automobile manufacturing industry in the early years. And it was the earliest batch, almost the same time as Volkswagen and Huaxia's cooperation.
However, compared with Volkswagen taking root in the Chinese market, Samsung Automobile was only glorious for a while and then withdrew. But even if he withdrew, he still knew Huaxia's automobile manufacturing industry very well.
It's not a disparagement. Whether it's him or others, Huaxia's automobile manufacturing technology is really not good. Not only does China have no domestic brands that can take the lead, the entire market is basically dominated by joint venture cars, and Chinese consumers seem to have a special liking for imported cars, especially luxury cars.
Especially as China has gradually become wealthy in recent years, Chinese people have become obsessed with mid-to-high-end luxury cars. Even if they are not very financially capable, they will take huge risks to borrow money to sell luxury cars.
So he is not optimistic about the automobile company BMW China, and he is even less optimistic about Yang Dongxu using Samsung shares to expand the European and American markets.
Even after receiving this news, his perception of this default son-in-law has declined. However, when Yang Dongxu got into trouble, he did not stand up to speak for this default son-in-law. But what Li Fuzhen did actually represents his attitude.
He really loves this daughter to the bone, and he has always been unwilling to make his daughter sad even at the risk of offending those Wall Street tycoons.
But what he didn't expect was that the Americans themselves were defeated in the end. But the other party had no way to deal with Yang Dongxu for the time being, but Li Fuzhen's appearance still annoyed a group of people, so that he had to go to China in person.
"What's wrong, father?" Li Fuzhen asked, looking at her father's somewhat old face.
To be honest, when she was young, Li Fuzhen was really rebellious against her father's discipline. Although under her father's discipline, she was very attentive whether she went to school or studied business, and she learned very quickly and well.
But she was very protesting against some of Li Jianxi's arrangements, and this protest was not only about her marriage, but also about some other things.
Before, she was ignorant of her feelings and faced Li Jianxi's re-arrangement. Her resistance was not a sudden rebellion. It was just that the resistance accumulated in the past ushered in the outbreak point.
But as she grew older, especially leaving her father's wings and coming to China to do business. Although with the help of Yang Dongxu, the two were not lovers before, but just partners.
And Yang Dongxu has never been polite to his partners. So she has experienced a lot of ups and downs, and originally thought that she would become stronger after experiencing the ups and downs.
Especially with more and more industries in hand, and great success in business, but not relying on the relationship with Samsung. She should be proud, and should be able to straighten her back and tell her father that her choice was not wrong.
But when she really succeeded and faced her father again, Li Fuzhen did not have any arrogance. Recalling her previous willfulness and the words she said that hurt her father, she regretted it in her heart, and did not have the confidence and arrogance after success.
From that moment on, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have grown up, and also realized her father's love for her and the difficulties of the other party over the years.
"Nothing, just some emotion, China's development is much faster than I expected." Li Jianxi turned his head and gave his daughter a smile.
Although he has been under great pressure from Wall Street recently, in front of Li Fuzhen. He is still the man who can face any storms and overcome any difficulties.
"It is developing very fast, not just you didn't expect it. I have been in China for so many years, and I still feel incredible when facing the development of China's economy. In fact, it's not just us, other people probably didn't expect it." Li Fuzhen said with a smile.
"Yes, no one else thought of it." Li Jianxi said with some emotion, and added in his heart: "Otherwise, they wouldn't be so angry this time."
"I heard that you are planning to invest in the island tourism industry in the Indian Ocean Islands recently?" Li Jianxi covered up the pressure in his heart and changed the subject.
"Well, I think seascape tourism will become a hot spot in the future, so I plan to find a suitable place in the Indian Ocean to circle a few small islands and cooperate with some small countries."
"Isn't it enough to have a seascape resort project in Jeju Island?" Li Jianxi asked.
"Although Jeju Island is good, our country has a distinction between off-season and peak season for tourism. Especially in winter, the resort is basically closed. And those islands in the Indian Ocean can be well connected with the domestic tourism peak season."
Li Fuzhen obviously made a detailed understanding of the development of island tourism, and also had detailed and targeted plans for the development of Sanwan Travel Agency and Xinghai Hotel.
"The islands over there are a little uneasy." Li Jianxi was a little worried.
Obviously this is the real reason why he asked about this matter. When it comes to buying an island to build a resort, everyone feels very high-end.
But in fact, it is very troublesome to build. The investment is not the same as any tourist attraction. The daily necessities are also very scarce and can only be imported from outside. The surrounding areas of the island are not so safe.
Because these threats, in addition to the threats in the sea, need to build shark blocking nets.
"Dongxu has a detailed plan, so there should be no problem. Moreover, we have introduced a major shareholder for this project." Li Fuzhen said with a smile.
"That's right." Li Jianxi's expression softened a lot and nodded.
Yang Dongxu did not attend the formal reception and the meeting. He came to the State Guesthouse the next morning. He met Li Jianxi, and in addition to him, there was an American who came with him. This person was none other than Ted Kennedy.
This is also the main reason why Li Jianxi will become one of the Korean business representatives to come to the Magic City this time.
In fact, Yang Dongxu did not expect that he would give Ted's proposal to the other party to consider it. And the other party's consideration time was so fast. He had just returned to China for less than two days, and the other party actually gave a reply.
Then, under the name of a friendly city inspection, he took the inspection team directly to the Magic City. When he received the call, he thought Ted was joking with him again.
But not long after, the person in charge of foreign guest reception in the Magic City Municipal Government found him and agreed with him on the foreign guest inspection procedures. He was sure that this was not a joke.
In fact, if Yang Dongxu knew, Ted had fainted once the day after returning to the United States. Whether it was the doctor in the hospital or his own private doctor. The advice given to him was to pay attention to rest, and his brain cancer could be controlled for the time being and nothing serious would happen.
Perhaps he would not be surprised why Ted was so anxious. Obviously, Ted could no longer trust the doctor in the United States. He could not even find a sense of security in his own country, and even in the face of those hidden threats, he had no good way to deal with them. So temporarily going abroad is undoubtedly a very good choice.
"Hello, Mr. Kennedy."
"Hello, Mr. Li Jianxi, you gave birth to an excellent daughter." Ted smiled and shook hands with Li Jianxi.
Praising Li Fuzhen is not a polite polite word. When Zhou Ya got rid of Li Fuzhen and went to the United States to negotiate with him, for Li Fuzhen, who was not much older than his daughter. Although he felt that the other party was still a little immature in front of her, he was indeed one of the best young people he had ever seen in terms of ability.
After all, a woman traveled across the ocean and was in his territory. Facing the current head of the legendary American family, they negotiated and finally reached an agreement. Zhou Ya only took less than one-third of the bargaining chips for Li Fuzhen, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
"You, you are too kind." Li Jianxi said politely, but the smile on his face that could not be concealed betrayed his inner thoughts.
Obviously, the praise of his daughter by outsiders, or the praise of a legendary figure with status and status like Ted, made him, as a father, particularly proud.
The two sat down, and Yang Dongxu winked at Li Fuzhen and the two left the room.
He was only responsible for introducing the two people. As for what they talked about, although he was curious in his heart, his curiosity was not so strong that he had to get involved. And Li Fuzhen followed out naturally because she wanted to avoid suspicion.
No matter how much Li Jianxi loved his daughter, she left Samsung after all. Now she is Yang Dongxu's person, and it is Yang Dongxu's industry that will be taken care of in the future. So it is better to avoid the coke of Li Jianxi and Ted.
"Thank you this time." After leaving the room, Li Fuzhen said to Yang Dongxu.
"If you are polite again, you will treat me as an outsider." Yang Dongxu said with a smile, and then stepped forward and gently hugged Li Fuzhen: "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged this time."
Although her negotiation with Ted was very successful. But Li Fuzhen's appearance undoubtedly made Li Jianxi very difficult, and Li Fuzhen, who had grown up and understood her father, was undoubtedly very guilty for the trouble she brought to her father this time.
Li Fuzhen did not speak, and her face was a little hot for some reason, leaning on Yang Dongxu's arms and staying for a moment.
"Do you think we can make it this time?" Li Fuzhen looked at the door with some concern.
This is a presidential suite, and Ted and Li Jianxi are now staying in a small conference room. And they are in the outer room, and the entourage of both sides is outside, so there are only two of them here, so Li Fuzhen does not have too many scruples when speaking.
