Chapter 1551 The Basket of Eggs
After not staying at Buckingham Palace and agreeing on a general process and letting Zhang Yue sort out the information for these people, Yang Dongxu left Buckingham Palace and moved into the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.
Dai'er did not leave with him, but chose to stay at her aunt's house.
But she appeared at the door of Yang Dongxu's presidential suite early the next morning.
"Is your cousin not going to help you?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking when he saw Dai'er running to him so early in the morning.
"He won't help or stop me." Dai'er said as she walked into the room, and then threw herself on the sofa without any image.
Yesterday she talked with her cousin for a long time and didn't feel sleepy all night. She ran to Yang Dongxu early in the morning and now suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.
"I want to sleep in the guest room next door. I have to entertain guests later." Seeing Dai'er's tired face, Yang Dongxu said.
William's not helping either of them is actually helping Dai'er. After all, the resources Dai'er took away belong to the UK. As a British prince, his not stopping her is already the biggest concession.
"Got it." Dai'er muttered, but she didn't mean to get up.
Listening to his breathing becoming more and more even, Yang Dongxu shook his head and walked into the room to get a blanket to cover her. The air conditioning in the room was turned on quite well, and the air was a little cold in the early morning.
After a simple wash and breakfast, today's guests arrived. Dai'er was sleeping in the living room, so Zhang Yue led her directly to the restaurant.
"BOSS!" Seeing Yang Dongxu eating breakfast, Matthew smiled.
"Come on, sit down, have you had breakfast?"
"I have already eaten."
Yang Dongxu nodded, and the servant in the suite next to him served a cup of black tea to Matthew who had already sat down.
"How have you been recently?" Yang Dongxu chatted casually.
"Very good, everything went well, my daughter got A+ in all the exams." Matthew's smile became brighter when he talked about his daughter.
To be honest, Matthew never thought that he could live like this before, especially when he was trampled into the mud by Godmund and others.
His biggest wish is that Godmond and others will not implicate his family, so that he can find a quiet place to die decently.
Now as the CEO of Huaxia BMW Europe, he is definitely a member of the upper class. Godmond, who could step on him at will before, now has to take a detour.
Especially since his boss seems to have a close relationship with the Spencer family in the UK. Now it is Godmond who is in a state of panic, not him.
In return, Matthew has been conscientious in Europe this year. He not only used all the resources and connections he had accumulated in the Land Rover Group on Huaxia BMW.
And after accepting the other automotive resources provided by Dale, he also tried his best to transform these resources into Huaxia BMW.
In recent years, Huaxia BMW has been able to achieve continuous annual sales growth in the European market, and Matthew can be said to have made an indelible contribution.
While dealing with the millet porridge in front of him, Yang Dongxu said, "I called you here this time to ask you to sort out the automotive technologies that we currently lack. For example, the central control system of the car, the car chip, or the four-wheel positioning technology."
"Is it just these? Do you want to sort out the inferior technologies such as engines and gearboxes?" Matthew couldn't help asking.
Yang Dongxu paused for a moment, then nodded, "Sort it out too."
He had only thought that the technology exchanged this time was mainly chips and systems, and didn't think much about getting other technologies.
After Matthew's reminder, Yang Dongxu suddenly remembered that he still lacked engines for his car.
China has no shortage of ordinary car engines, nor sports car engines, after all, he has two brands, Maserati and Ferrari.
He used to invest a lot in the research of automotive technology, and he also took over Ferrari in a package. It can be said that in terms of sports car technology, China BMW is now absolutely T0-level.
But there is no shortage of engines for these types of cars, but he lacks engines for off-road vehicles.
Although the middle class in Europe and the United States live very carefully, otherwise fuel-efficient and energy-saving Japanese cars would not sell so well in the European and American markets.
But in stark contrast to the fact that energy-saving and emission-reducing cars are popular among ordinary people, as long as they have money, the cars that Europeans and Americans like to buy most are still large cars, especially off-road vehicles and RVs.
So if you want to continue to deepen your presence in the European and American markets, you have to make up for the two shortcomings of off-road vehicles and RVs.
And these two cars are not only popular in Europe and the United States, but as more and more people in China are not short of money, the sales of these two cars are also increasing year by year.
Especially off-road vehicles, rally racing has become popular in China, and various car clubs are very lively every year. If you don't take a bite of this piece of fat meat, Yang Dongxu will feel distressed in his dreams.
After talking about the lack of technical sorting, Matthew briefly introduced the operation of West China BMW Automobile Company in Europe.
Finally, he talked about Formula One racing. "According to your instructions, Schumacher has not announced his retirement, but has taken on the title of consultant at Ferrari, and Ferrari has bought out all his contracts. When he recovers, he can only go on the track at Ferrari."
"Yes." Yang Dongxu nodded.
Yang Dongxu doesn't have many memories about F1 racing, but the name of the racing king Schumacher is well-known.
Since he has taken Ferrari in a package, it is naturally impossible for him to let Schumacher announce his retirement this year and then wait until later to pay for Mercedes-Benz to be the spokesperson.
As for whether it is worth spending a large sum of money to buy out Schumacher, it is definitely worth it after the professional team of Ferrari calculated.
Just like Bolt redefined sprinting, before Bolt appeared, how many people cared about sprinting and knew sprinters?
That is, if there is a live broadcast on the sports channel at a world competition such as the Olympics, people will watch it twice. At other times, not many people pay attention to this sport.
But what about after Bolt appeared?
How many people went to watch the sprint competition because of him?
Schumacher is the Bolt of the F1 formula, or he is himself, he is the king of the F1 formula.
Even if he retires, even if he occasionally tests the car, he can bring enough attention to Ferrari's new models.
For example, he now holds the title of Ferrari consultant, and his job is to attend F1 races intermittently, testing civilian cars and F1 racing cars. As long as he is in Ferrari, this is a living signboard.
"Other teams are not very smooth in signing sports stars, especially in the US football field, where Toyota and Volkswagen are competing fiercely." Matthew continued.
Because Yang Dongxu has two teams, one football team Barcelona is a frequent visitor to the Champions League. The basketball team 76ers is currently working hard to achieve its three consecutive championships.
So Huaxia Automobile has never been so eager to sign athletes.
But in the US market, if you want to sell your products well, then football players are a must-win for manufacturers.
Because although the NBA seems to be very popular all over the world, the first sports game in the United States has always been football. The commercial value of the football Super Bowl is higher than that of NBA superstars, at least in the United States, no other sport can compare.
So in the past two years, after stabilizing its basic market, Huaxia BMW has also begun to reach out to football, but after a period of contact, there has been no gain.
"We can't rush this. Some of those big brands have already signed contracts and tied up when they were still in the youth training camp. If we want to gain something in this regard, we either have to pay a high price to dig them out, or we can only accumulate slowly for a few years."
Yang Dongxu is not as eager as me to endorse the athletes on the rugby side. Because the Japanese and German brands are basically too stable in the US auto market.
The stable Huaxia BMW has tried all kinds of ways over the years, but can only nibble away at some small market shares in the cracks. 60% of the high-end market belongs to them.
As for the remaining 40%, Huaxia BMW currently occupies less than 7%, because in addition to Toyota and Volkswagen, there are many car brands in the United States, and the remaining ones account for the majority.
They can't beat Toyota and Volkswagen, which have been deployed for a long time, and they still have the strength to suppress the rising star Huaxia BMW. Therefore, since there is no way to make a fundamental breakthrough, it doesn't mean much to have one or two more endorsement stars.
"How is the negotiation with Tiger Woods on the golf side?" Yang Dongxu asked.
Bolt is the king of sprinting.
Schumacher is the king of F1.
Woods is the king of golf.
No matter how many girlfriends Tiger has had or how much breakup fee he has given, he is the undisputed king in golf.
Golf is one of the channels to the upper class, so winning this king will significantly increase the sales of Huaxia BMW's top car series.
"The negotiations went smoothly, but the signing fee and signing fee may be higher than expected. Woods won the championship last year, and he is in good shape this year and has won several championships, so he will still be the favorite to win the championship next year."
"Then follow the market, as long as it is worth the price, we will give it. Try to sign before the new commercial vehicle comes out, and then increase the sales of the new model." Yang Dongxu said without much concern.
You get what you pay for, and everyone benefits from each other. He can't lose money to win Woods, and Woods will not sign a contract with Huaxia BMW at a low price.
After chatting with Matthew for a while, Matthew left Yang Dongxu and simply packed up and went out. He was going to meet Toy.
Although I haven't met Toy much in the past few years, we have been in contact quite a lot, and I have even given Toy a lot of ideas. For example, investing in some potential MPs in the UK.
Don't always look at international news reports about how the United States is targeting Northern Russia and how his younger brothers are at odds with Northern Russia.
But in fact, Northern Russians are more popular in Europe and the United States than people from other countries, and even more popular than the Japanese who have done bigger business in Europe and the United States.
Otherwise, why didn't Rabmovich go anywhere but to the Premier League to buy a team?
So the former Northern Russian oligarchs headed by Toy are very low-key in Europe and the United States, but they live a really good life and are really powerful.
This is Yang Dongxu's second layout in the UK. He understood the principle that eggs should not be put in one basket when he was very young.
So after cooperating with Jack and the Kennedy family in the United States, he is now cooperating with Wall Street tycoons such as Picken.
In addition, he also has Yiting Technology and Haina Entertainment in the United States, the NBA 76ers team, the favorite to win the championship, and the local TV station. He also snatched the New York Times from the Nakushi family.
Because the UK is too small, there are not many projects to invest in the country. Yang Dongxu seems to have only William, Dean, and old friends like Toy in secret.
But in fact, through these resources, Yang Dongxu has expanded his influence to other countries. For example, Australia and India, which are still very influential in the UK.
Many of Yang Dongxu's companies have sold their products through the UK, and they have made a lot of money while being low-key and inconspicuous.
"I'm going to see a friend, please take care of her for me. If I don't come back at night, tell her not to wait for me. I may not be back until tomorrow." After packing up, Yang Dongxu told the room butler.
Dale was still sleeping on the sofa in the living room.
"Okay, sir." The butler with a British style and a wig like a judge, straightened his back and slightly bent over to indicate that he had taken note.
