We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The Iron Lady, although she had only been in that position for a few months, had implemented radical fiscal and labor union legislation soon after taking office. She was known for her "distinct traditionalist philosophy and tough free-market economic policies," advocating austerity measures, controlling the money supply through monetarist policies, and emphasizing free economic competition.

Therefore, it's not an exaggeration to call her a radical.

Now, it's not surprising that the radical faction of the British Leyland Motor Corporation, with its state-owned background, is rising up.

"Okay, I will carefully study this Leyland Group. Once I have results, I'll discuss them with you. After we decide which brand to buy, I'll trouble you to talk to them," Su Cheng said to Zhang Qizheng with a smile.

"It's no trouble, it's all part of my job," Zhang Qizheng said, shaking his head.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhang Qizheng bid farewell to Su Cheng. He had many things to do and naturally couldn't waste too much time here.

After Zhang Qizheng left, Su Cheng carried the heavy stack of documents, weighing two or three pounds, upstairs to the third floor.

The level of detail in so much material is imaginable.

Of course, now that he had a primary target, Su Cheng certainly wouldn't waste time on brands he wasn't very interested in.

Upstairs, Zhong Chuhong was reclining on the sofa reading a book. Being almost three months pregnant and wearing simple pajamas, her belly was visibly showing.

Recently, a private female doctor had been coming regularly every week to examine her and ensure there were no problems during her pregnancy.

"Boss..."

When Zhong Chuhong saw Su Cheng coming up, she wanted to get up, but Su Cheng quickly stopped her.

"Just stay here and read. I have work to do," Su Cheng said to Zhong Chuhong, pointing to the documents in his hand.

Zhong Chuhong then continued to recline.

Su Cheng returned to his study, placed the documents on his desk, adjusted the height and angle of the recliner, and then lay down, picking up the documents to read.

First, he learned about the Leyland Motor Corporation's background so he could more confidently lock onto a target.

As for the information on other car brands, Su Cheng planned to consider them later if he didn't like any of the brands under the Leyland Motor Corporation.

There was too much information; he couldn't possibly read it all.

Soon, Su Cheng was immersed in the ocean of information.

Before World War II, Britain, as the initiator of the First Industrial Revolution, had accumulated strong automotive industrial technology and automotive cultural heritage.

This cultural heritage allowed Britain to give birth to ultra-luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley, stamping Britain with the mark of "automotive aristocracy."

After World War II, Britain, as a victorious nation, suffered little damage to its domestic industry. Therefore, after World War II, the British automotive industry did indeed usher in a golden age of rapid development, becoming the first European country to break one million units in car production, with an automotive industry second only in scale to the United States.

However, with the advent of the Ford Model T, the automotive production landscape was completely changed. Assembly line production transformed cars from aristocratic toys into civilian transportation.

British cars stubbornly adhered to the "aristocratic" path, using handcrafted production and unparalleled materials to create cars that existed like works of art.

But the adherence to the "aristocratic path" ultimately proved devastating to the British automotive industry.

Failing to catch up with the tide of assembly lines and commercialization, and only serving a small number of aristocratic classes, the British automotive industry missed out on a major opportunity and was quickly overtaken by countries represented by Germany and Japan.

British cars succeeded because of "aristocracy" and failed because of "aristocracy."

In addition, the various misguided policies of the British local government also directly accelerated the decline of the British automotive industry.

From the 1950s onwards, Britain began to implement installment sales policies, but as an importing country, in order to improve the balance of international payments, the British government adopted policies to reduce domestic economic growth, limit domestic demand, and encourage exports, which led to stagnation in the production capacity and research and development of the British automotive industry.

Precisely because of the decline of British cars, in order to allow British car brands to rise again, the government came forward and ultimately promoted the establishment of the Leyland Motor Corporation, which included 35 brands such as Rover, Jaguar, Land Rover, and MG.

This Leyland Motor Corporation covered businesses such as sedans, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, sports cars, SUVs, and special vehicles. Its strength was almost unmatched worldwide, making it a true giant in the automotive world.

But this kind of strength created through mergers was ultimately not its true strength, and it soon became the last glorious history of British cars.

After becoming an automotive giant, the Leyland Motor Corporation did achieve good results in the first few years, but its large size also complicated management. All 35 brands believed they were the leaders in their respective niche markets, and no one was convinced by the others. Eventually, internal conflicts began to intensify, bringing it to the brink of bankruptcy.

Su Cheng spent nearly an hour carefully reading through the development history of the British Leyland Motor Corporation.

It must be said that this development history was truly wonderful and touched him deeply.

From it, Su Cheng also learned a lot, especially the stubbornness of British cars, which made Su Cheng realize that everything must follow the trend of development.

After reading the introduction of the Leyland Motor Corporation, Su Cheng did not continue reading but closed the documents and carefully recalled the history of British cars.

He called downstairs and asked Amei to bring up a cup of hot tea. Su Cheng placed the documents on the desk and waited for Amei's hot tea.

In less than five minutes, Su Cheng heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Young master, I've made your hot tea." Amei glanced at Su Cheng with her beautiful eyes, placing a teapot and a teacup on the desk.

Su Cheng could even feel a hint of spring in her beautiful eyes. He smiled at her and waved for her to go downstairs.

After all, Zhong Chuhong was outside the study, so he couldn't go too far. Otherwise, Su Cheng would have already pulled her into his arms and served her well.

After Amei closed the study door, Su Cheng picked up the teacup and took a small sip of hot tea, then put the teacup back on the desk and picked up the documents to continue reading.

The information in the documents was indeed very complete, complete to almost beyond Su Cheng's expectations. Even Xia Ai's database could not find such complete information.

But this was also normal. For Xia Ai, this intelligent AI, perhaps this was not important information, so there was naturally no need to store too detailed information.
