Section 838 Volkswagen Group
Li Cong knew what was going on with these people's public servants who seemed to be serving the people one by one, and he was basically clear about the conflict between Dalian City and Liaoning Province, but he didn't want to get involved, and he didn't want to interfere in China's politics. Li Cong set the rules for himself, as for how to follow it is his own business.
In fact, similar conflicts between cities with the strongest economy in the province and the province exist in every city, such as between Qingdao and Shandong, and between Shenzhen and Guangdong. That's why the central government has introduced this kind of sub-provincial They are no longer satisfied with the title of sub-provincial city, they want more. Provincial cities are impossible, so they marched towards municipalities directly under the Central Government.
The place where Li Cong and Li Yan stayed is known as the most luxurious Gulf Hotel in the Far East. This is the Grand Hyatt Hotel Group, a subsidiary of the Energy Group, which spent 5 billion yuan to build it. It is bound to compete with the seven-star hotels in Dubai. Some international celebrities have been full of praise after staying here, saying that it can definitely be called a seven-star hotel, but when it comes to comparing it with the Burj Al Arab, it can only be said that it has its own merits.
Li Cong and Li Yan stayed in the only two royal suites in the hotel. The external price is as high as 140,000 RMB per night. This is still the price during the off-season, and it is almost impossible to book. In fact, Li Cong only remembered here temporarily. Yes, with his status, he would naturally have his own luxury apartment in the best location in Dalian, and his own seaside villa by the sea, but Li Cong just wanted to see what kind of luxury this seven-star hotel has, and ended up staying After coming in, I saw that it was much worse than my own room.
"This world is really scary. Our siblings can live in a room worth RMB 150,000 a night, but people are beaten to death in Africa for a bag of grain. I really don't know how God says that everyone is equal. "Li Cong felt that he had no interest after strolling around for a while. He walked across from Li Yan and waited for the chef to cook a table of tens of thousands of food for him.
Li Yan pushed her gold-rimmed glasses. Li Yan, who was not very short-sighted in recent years, is now a little short-sighted, but after wearing this pair of gold-rimmed glasses worth more than ten thousand dollars, she looks more solemn than before. What's wrong with my younger brother today, he either doesn't speak, or just says what the philosopher said, making himself a bit lost.
"I said what's wrong with you, your brain is flooded or something, the newspapers say you are a god, are you really a god? There are so many unfair things in this world, don't you have to take care of them?" Don’t feel sorry for those people in Africa who can’t afford food. Strictly speaking, it’s your fault that they can’t afford food. If you didn’t work in Africa, they would be better off.” Li Yan said maliciously , she has always disapproved of the group's African plan, spending so much money to go there to toss, in Li Yan's opinion, it is better to step up and march into Europe, Africa is a useless place in the eyes of many people , The amount of money and energy spent to develop it is really too great.
"Oh, okay, okay,
I'm not arguing with you on this issue, our views are different, but I have to remind you that the group's funds have reached a terrible level, and the group's annual spending is less than 5% of the group's earnings. If this continues, I am afraid that all the money in the world will be in our hands. Deflation has already occurred in several countries. Now how to spend the money reasonably is the problem we have to consider now. If the money is not spent, it will be spent. That's just a pile of waste paper, useless at all. "Li Cong said.
The question Li Cong said was indeed considered by Li Yan. Now the group's income is too huge. More than 20 trillion U.S. dollars pour into the energy group every year, and the annual expenditure is only less than one trillion U.S. dollars. No matter how luxurious the life of Li Cong and the management is, they can't spend all the money. The group is looking for multiple investment outlets, and now entering the shipbuilding industry is one of them.
"The investment department gave me a report just now, and selected bonds from dozens of countries and institutions. We can buy about 500 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual income can only be about 10%, but it can be done. There will be no fluctuations in stability, and as for the high-yield ones, there are basically certain risks, and I don’t think you will do it.” What kind of bonds to buy is also an important issue. Li Yan and hundreds of people from the finance department It took people a month of research to come up with these 500 billion bonds.
"Except for this shipyard in Dalian, how did the group invest in other machinery?" Li never answered the question of the bond. Time is so precious, it's better to say something more useful.
"The shipyard in Dalian is the second largest in the country and the fourth largest in the world. We spent 17 billion yuan to acquire 47% of the shares. The other half is naturally in the hands of the state. The shipbuilding industry There is no profit for us to participate in it now, but our ocean-going group needs a large number of ships. It is better for us to have our own shipyard. In fact, my ultimate goal is not the shipbuilding industry. What I want to do is the automobile industry , what do you think?" Li Yan said while reading the documents, she had actually thought about entering the automobile industry a long time ago, but she never had a chance to have a proper talk with Li Cong.
Shipbuilding is now obsolete? Is the auto industry timeless? Now the international market is in a situation where American cars, Japanese cars, and German cars are competing for supremacy. How can there be any share for themselves?
"I also want to enter the automobile industry, but how do we enter it now? This thing is a technical job. We can't enter it with money. In the 1990s, China vigorously developed the automobile industry. We don’t need such a company.” Li Cong euphemistically expressed his rejection.
"These are still problems for the time being, but they should not be a problem in the near future. My son has already started to contact the public in Europe. You also know that they were seriously injured during the civil strife in Europe. At this time, they need a strong shareholder. " After Li Yan finished speaking, she found that Li Cong was looking at herself with a strange look, is there something wrong with her?
"Hehe, sister, it's amazing. I just thought you liked cars before, but I never thought I would really want to own a car group. Now that my nephew has already started planning, there is no need to stop. Although I am not a patriot, However, there is an auto group that really belongs to the Chinese themselves, and it is famous for the country. If we can successfully acquire the Volkswagen Group, I am afraid that the group will get a 20% discount on sports cars in the future." Li Cong said jokingly, but also Only Li Cong dared to make fun of such a group with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, and others couldn't afford it.
Li Yan was a little embarrassed to be told by her younger brother that she wanted to buy a sports car. Volkswagen Group has Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini (Italy), Bentley, Bugatti, SEAT (Spain), and Skoda , Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Porsche (Germany) and several other brands, Li Yan's favorite is Lamborghini, and this reason alone has to buy it.
Li Cong took a look at the information. The Volkswagen Group is currently the largest automobile manufacturing group in the world. It has three subsidiaries around the world, 350,000 regular employees, and 200,000 informal employees. The total assets of the group were at their peak It once reached 180 billion U.S. dollars, the highest annual turnover exceeded 200 billion U.S. dollars, and the group's net profit was 17.5 billion U.S. dollars. If you want to acquire such a huge automobile group, the various forces involved are not so simple.
"Well, the idea is not bad, but we are too subjective, not all the big groups in this world are the same as what we think, but we are willing to pay for it, and they are willing to sell it to us, let's tell that kid to be good Investigate and study carefully, Europeans have suffered so much from us, so they have to be careful if they can cooperate with us, I don’t want to get nothing back for the group’s investment of hundreds of billions of dollars.” For the elder sister, Li Cong still I understand that other things may not be hot-headed, but problems involving sports cars will inevitably go wrong.
While the two were talking, the food came out. Looking at the price list next to him, Li Cong felt that he was really dark. In this way, the chopstick dishes he ate cost several hundred yuan. What is delicious? Seeing the way my sister enjoys it, is it true that I am really a rich man?
"The two of us can't eat such a table of dishes. Don't stand up all of you. There is no work for you to do now. Sit down and eat." Li Cong looked at the pictures of his secretaries and sister. The assistants stood and watched the two of them eating. Li Cong felt so awkward. How is this different from Lao Cai, a landlord in the old society.
It's not the first time to ask the secretary to sit down to eat with the boss. Li Yan didn't say anything. It's a bit extravagant for two people to eat more than a dozen dishes, so she nodded to her assistants, and everyone sat down. But this meal is quite embarrassing. The point of eating at the same table with the boss is to eat more and talk less. Originally, Li Cong also wanted to chat a few words, but everyone basically didn’t mean to talk, so he was careless. Ended up with this dinner.
After dinner, Li Cong had a lot of arrangements. He had to meet with people from the provincial government and the municipal government, as well as various business groups. He was busy until ten o'clock in the evening before ending his last date. Li Congxi After taking a shower and lying on the sofa, I really don't want to move at all. If I knew I was so tired, I shouldn't have promised that Wang Lingling to come here to participate in the launching ceremony.
Thinking of Wang Lingling and Li Cong taking the phone to dial her, I didn't see this girl all night and didn't know what she was doing. At this time, Li Cong was still so curious, but then he scolded himself for not knowing what to do. Future, why are you always curious about the beautiful female secretary, but the call has already been connected.
"Who, call so late, is there any morality?" The voice on the phone was abnormally irritable, and it seemed that she was woken up. Wang Lingling didn't need to go to work tonight, and she had already arranged for Li Cong. Secretary, besides, she is not very familiar with the president, so she never thought that this call was from Li Cong.
There are Wang Lingling's uncle and aunt in Dalian, so when I arrived in Dalian, I asked for leave to go to my aunt's house. I didn't expect that after I went, the whole family would be there, and there was also a young talent. How could Wang Lingling not understand after seeing such a scene? , It must be another blind date arranged by the family.
The so-called young talent is currently a small boss of a foreign company in Dalian. It seems that his annual salary is around one million, and he is a distant cousin of his aunt. Wang Lingling is not good at spoiling everyone's interest. I can't meet a few times, so I accepted this blind date, anyway, I am idle, right?
Who knew that this man fell in love with Wang Lingling as soon as he saw it, like a cotton candy, and then he stuck to him. Wang Lingling couldn't embarrass him because his family was around, so he could only perfunctory. In his eyes, both of them are interesting, they look like a pair of talented men and women, how could there be no sparks, and then urged the two of them to go out for a walk after dinner, after all, it is not convenient for two people to be here with such a bunch of people mutual understanding.
After going out, this guy chatted more and more enthusiastically, and finally wanted to fuck herself. Wang Lingling slapped him without thinking, and then took a taxi back to the hotel. I didn't care about my aunt's face, I finally fell asleep now, and a phone call came in, and I would scold anyone.
"Well, it seems very immoral. I won't bother you to rest. Goodbye." Li Cong thought about it. He hung up the phone while responding.
Wang Lingling looked at the phone in a daze, who is this? Why is this so arrogant, and then she started doing it, and she didn't feel sleepy at all, so she called back directly, no, this number, my mother Ah, it belongs to the CEO. Wang Lingling quickly hung up the phone. What does the CEO mean? He called her in the middle of the night. Is it true that he and Dai Lai didn't know each other? Now that Dai Lai is gone, does he think of himself?
After Li Cong hung up the phone, he went to watch TV. Wang Lingling didn't fall asleep all night, so she tuned in instead. People called, and then went to check the call records to see if he had hallucinations just now, but only after looking at the number did he know that the damn president had indeed called him just now.
Until Wang Lingling was about to fall asleep in a daze, the phone rang again.
"President...what's the matter with you?" Wang Lingling asked cautiously, thinking about how she would respond if he made some excessive demands.
"Well, Ms. Wang, I was a little impulsive just now. Now I'm in the coffee shop below your hotel. Come down and listen to my explanation. Actually, I'm not that kind of person. I..." Before he could say After that, she hung up the phone immediately, Wang Lingling's tense nerves then collapsed, fuck, why are you following me tonight; my old lady can't make it through, she drank crap coffee in the middle of the night.
Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport
Tonight there is a direct flight from Beijing to London. Dai Lai also chooses this flight to go to England. Dai Lai is wearing a black windbreaker and black sunglasses. She looks like a strong woman who wants to stay away from her homeland. In fact, she arrived in London Seeing her parents may be her second hometown there, but Dai Lai grew up with her elders in China, and she is not very close to her parents. She really has no idea about her future life, but she also wants to try it out and prove it Take a look at yourself.
"Director Dai, it's time to board the plane. The president told me to watch you board the plane. This is what the president asked me to hand over to you." No. 2 walked behind Dai Lai like a bodyguard, holding an envelope in his hand , I don't know what's inside, anyway, it's what the president asked me to give to Dai Lai.
"Thank you. I've accepted the things. You can go back and report." Dai Lai took the envelope and casually put it in his handbag, waved to No. 2 and walked into the security check. In fact, he was going to see off Dai Lai's friend. There are many, but Dai Lai is against seeing them in his heart, especially if there are some friends of his former husband who want to question him, these people really don't want to see them.
For Jiang Hengdai Lai's heart is completely dead. Before he left, he knew that he had been released, but he didn't mean to look for him. Maybe it was just that moment when a woman really didn't love a man. , I really don't have any place for a man in my heart, if there is someone I want to talk to, that person might be my former boss.
The plane took off on time. Looking down from the window, Dai Lai cried, crying very sadly. I have lived for more than 30 years and always have feelings. When I boarded the plane just now, Dai Lai was still very free and easy, telling himself that he was still young , I left and left, and I will have a better life in the future, but when it was time to leave, I still couldn't help crying.
Jiang Heng also rushed to the airport when the plane took off, but he didn't come to see Dai Lai off. Seeing that Dai Lai's plane had already taken off, Jiang Heng gritted his teeth in hatred, and told you to leave just like that. Jiang Heng can't wait to pull Dai Lai down. At this time, he is also holding some sexy photos he took with Dai Lai before. I don't know where he found them. Now that you are gone, I will let you continue. Let's be ruined, Jiang Heng thought bitterly.
