Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 955: An Invitation That Can't Be Rejected
Since privatization is mentioned, Heiyun Group is one of the largest private companies in the world. And the British still have the final say in Hong Kong, so you kid can't stay out of it!
What Youde wants is for Bao Zixuan to express this idea, and now it seems that the goal has been achieved. It is true that he wants to return to work in the UK, but it is not the time yet. If he wants to return to the UK and be reused, then Xiangjiang is undoubtedly the place.
One of his important political achievements.
In fact, Youde also knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for the British Empire to continue to govern Xiangjiang. This old boy was right about one thing. He was indeed an absolute expert in the field of diplomacy. His handling of the Amethyst incident made the British royal family and
The people saw his talent in the field of diplomacy. It was because of his dealings with mainland China and his thorough knowledge of China that he could become the governor of Xiangjiang at such a critical period.
In April 1949, the Chinese Third Field Army was preparing to launch a cross-river operation in the Zhenjiang section of the Yangtze River the next day.
The frigate "Purple Quartz" of the British Navy's Far East Fleet ignored the Chinese announcement and broke into the Chinese army's front line to cross the Yangtze River on April 20, 1949, the deadline for foreign ships to evacuate the Yangtze River. It did not heed the warning and was shelled by the Chinese army. "Purple Quartz"
"Quartz" will start immediately
The artillery fired back. During the artillery battle, the "Amethyst" was seriously injured and ran aground. From the afternoon of April 20th to the 21st, the Chinese artillery force successively sent for reinforcements the destroyer "Mate" and the heavy cruiser "London" of the British Navy's Far East Fleet.
, the "Black Swan" frigate repelled it.
Subsequently, the Chinese military and the British launched contacts and negotiations on the issue of responsibility for the incident and the detention of the "Amethyst", but no results have been achieved.
On July 30, 1949, the "Amethyst" escaped at night and exchanged fire with the Chinese artillery again on the way. On July 31, the "Amethyst" escaped from the Yangtze River Estuary, and the negotiations between the Chinese army and the British were terminated.
In the "Amethyst" incident, 252 Chinese casualties, 45 British naval personnel were killed, 1 was missing, and 93 were injured. The "Amethyst" also caused heavy casualties to civilians during its escape. This incident showed that the upcoming
Establishing China's firm determination and strong courage to defend its national sovereignty. This incident also marked the final end of the "gunboat diplomacy" of Great Britain and other powers in China.
It was because of his outstanding performance in this incident that Yode rose to prominence in the officialdom and has now become the British Governor in Hong Kong. As for his specific role, it has not been revealed. However, I believe that the escape of the Amethyst must have won the victory.
Time, this was definitely a great achievement for Britain at that time.
After all, he is a master who has experienced war and diplomacy. In terms of conversation, Bao Shaofu can't keep up with him even if he is flattering. Seeing that the time is almost right, he knows that he has to get to the point. And he has already thought about it, and he will never let this guy go easily this time.
Yoder: "What does Mr Bao think of the British car industry?"
If you ask about other industries, you can give a perfunctory answer, but about the automobile industry. As the head of one of the world's largest automobile companies, even if you don't know, you must answer.
Bao Zixuan: "The British automobile industry has a long history of development. In the 100 years since the invention of the automobile, British cars have been considered to represent the ultimate in automobile craftsmanship, and words such as taste, value, luxury, and elegance are the most popular in automobiles.
Perfect embodiment. Expertise and forward thinking give the UK a unique advantage in developing core automotive technology.”
Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Youde was speechless for a while. I'm not asking you to praise British cars blindly. Old Huangli also used you to say it. The British car industry is so good, so good, why is it in such a situation now? Local car companies looked at it
They are all high-end, big, and high-end products, but their sales volume is a mess, and their economic benefits are even more appalling.
In contrast, Heiyun Motors is doing very well in the market and has basically few rivals. Although it is not yet the number one car sales champion, after all, Toyota has always been an insurmountable and powerful opponent. But according to the current situation
See, transcendence is not impossible.
In fact, Bao Zixuan knew very well in his heart that British cars were definitely profitable. But not now, at least not at this time. John Chambers had proposed a plan to acquire Bentley before, but Bao Zixuan actually didn't agree with it in his heart. He just didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates.
, and after John Chambers stated that he would never use any of the group's funds, and that he could also ensure that the construction of Xiangjiang Heiyun Town would not be delayed, Bao Zixuan agreed.
Youde's purpose, and even the purpose of the British Prime Minister and the royal family, is certainly not as simple as letting Bao Zixuan acquire one or two British car brands.
In the previous life, although most of the British local car brands were acquired by the Germans, they also became the center of global car engine R&D and production in disguise.
In addition, British powertrain design has always maintained a leading level in the world, especially in engine design. The annual engine output of the British automotive industry is about 3 million units, and about 80% is exported.
Ford of the United States is the largest engine manufacturer in the UK, producing gasoline and diesel engines that meet 25% of Ford's global demand. Other major engine manufacturers include Toyota, Nissan, Honda and BMW. All BMW cars have 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-wheel drive engines.
cylinder gasoline engines are produced at BMW's plant in Hamshall. Cummins produces commercial vehicle engines in the UK. Perkins produces commercial vehicle engines and non-automotive engines.
Since we can rely on our advantages to build the world's largest engine manufacturing center, there must be signs now, at least there are corresponding plans. However, the emergence of Heiyun Town suddenly disrupted the British deployment and plans.
Although the advantages of developing and manufacturing engines in the UK are obvious, countries all over the world are actively building their own technology towns. Car engines are high-end, sophisticated and cutting-edge products. That company does not dare to risk the world's scorn and dare to develop car engines.
and manufacturing center relocated to the UK.
In other words, if there are no projects launched in the country, they will be implemented in the UK.
Not only does the government want to punish you, but even the people may not agree; most importantly, company employees may not understand it, because it is no different from betraying the country.
Of course, the British know that it is very difficult or even impossible to build an engine industry ecological chain relying on automobile companies from all over the world.
The rapid economic development of Xiangjiang, especially the rise of Heiyun Group, has given them hope again. This group of businessmen in Xiangjiang are really good at doing business and they all have business acumen.
For example, in terms of ship manufacturing, the contribution of Xiangjiang merchants to Britain cannot be ignored.
Although the British shipbuilding industry is in some decline, the foundation is still there after all. There are four major shipping kings in Hong Kong, and the face that should be given must still be given. Even if the world shipping crisis, British shipbuilding does not have a cost advantage. But sometimes we cannot just look at the cost.
It is also necessary to consider the problem from multiple angles and aspects.
Ship kings such as Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun have made a lot of money from rare earth minerals in the past two years. When ordering ships, they must consider the United Kingdom. The British side has given them hints, but Bao Zixuan has not paid attention to it.
It can be said that before Bao Zixuan, many wealthy people in Hong Kong had more or less contributed to the development of the British economy. Of course, Heiyun Group also invested in the UK, but compared to other places, the investment in the UK was insignificant.
Of course, the British are not satisfied. At least the current investment scale of Heiyun Group in the UK is not enough to even fill the gap between teeth.
This guy has been conquering cities and territories abroad for the past six months, and he is very cool. Don't you know that the British economy also needs capital investment, and scientific research projects need talents to join.
The Iron Lady’s meaning is very obvious; she requires Heiyun Group to go to the UK to build the world’s most advanced automotive engine R&D and manufacturing center. Of course, this is only the first step. In the future, Heiyun Group will be required to put more industries in the UK. Now Xiangjiang
They still have the final say. After 1997, everything will become unknown.
Yoder: "Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister both hope that Heiyun Group can rely on the advantages of British automobile engines to build the world's most advanced and largest engine R&D and manufacturing center."
After hearing what Youde said, Bao Zixuan finally understood what the other party meant. This was not only for Heiyun Group to acquire other companies, but also for starting a new business.
And the queen was moved out, which shows that this is an invitation that cannot be refused.
Although the Queen of England does not care about specific affairs, no one can ignore her existence. Now people just hope, but no one can refuse.
At this time, Bao Zixuan was in a dilemma. If he did not do well, his life in Xiangjiang would be very difficult.
