The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

"Mr. Li, you and your wife are welcome to visit the manor."

Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the contemporary Duke of Westminster, is also the cousin of Zhou Pengfei's wife Lisa Grosvenor.

Because he is a soldier, and he is only in his thirties, he has a resolute and polite temperament, not as deep and hypocritical as those old foxes in the mall.

His wife standing aside is also a soldier, and Grosvenor and Grosvenor can be said to be a match made in heaven.

It's just that these two are far inferior to their cousin Lisa Grosvenor in terms of business, and this has nothing to do with IQ and EQ.

To be honest, Li Jianhui is also a little envious of the nobles of England. The manor castle is not only vast in size, but also has a lot of historical heritage.

Xinjian Li's villa at No. 8 Jinghua Road is nothing compared to it. Even though he has bought a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings from the mainland in the past few years, he still has no historical background and is often more like a nouveau riche.

Although the Li family was right about being a nouveau riche, after all, the Li family's rise was short, but Li Jianhui was unwilling to really become a nouveau riche, but hoped to become a family that has been passed down for a hundred or even a thousand years.

Envy is envy. Li Jianhui was not invited to visit the Grosvenor family estate today. The cooperation between the two sides is the topic of today.

Although the Grosvenor Group has been developing towards a comprehensive industrial cluster during the years when Lisa Grosvenor has been in charge of the Grosvenor Group, until now, the Grosvenor Group is still a group with real estate as its core .

It is rumored that half of the land in London belongs to the Grosvenor Group. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen how powerful Grosvenor is in terms of real estate.

Apart from HSBC, Standard Chartered, Swire, and Jardine, which have been rooted in Xiangjiang for hundreds of years, the ones who established office buildings in the British-funded company Xiangjiang are currently the Grosvenor Group, which can also reflect the development and commitment of this group to the real estate market. persistent.

……

"Mr. Grosvenor, I'm not very interested in the joint development of the Vancouver and Sydney markets you mentioned.

At present, the global real estate market is rapidly developing in Japan, ASEAN and Xiangjiang. If you are willing to cooperate, we can jointly develop Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Xiangjiang, Johor Bahru, Rayong, Cebu, Bandung and other cities.

Especially in Xiangjiang, Johor Bahru and Rayong, our Tung Wah Association is building urban business complexes, and each project costs more than [-] billion.

Grosvenor Group can acquire land around several major projects and coordinate development with our major projects.

If you look down on these places, my real estate company is also willing to establish a joint venture company with Grosvenor Group in the Japanese market to develop the Japanese real estate market. "

Grosvenor was a little disappointed in Li Jianhui's refusal to develop the real estate market in Vancouver and Sydney.

Before the death of the previous Duke, the Grosvenor Group purchased a large amount of land in these two places, planning to develop them into commercial centers and high-end residential areas.

It's just because of the limited strength of the Grosvenor Group and the death of the previous Duke, the development has been relatively slow.

In the past few years when Lisa Grosvenor has been in charge of the group, the main profits have been used for the development of other industries, such as the Rose Financial Group jointly established with several nobles, and for example investing in many companies under the Xiangjiang Far East Club, and also purchased A lot of shares in listed companies under the East China Association have also led to little progress in the development of those two places in recent years.

Although he had been in the military for the past few years and didn't know much about business, after retiring and returning home to take charge of the business, Grosvenor was still studying hard.

I still have some understanding of the development of the real estate markets in Japan, Hong Kong and even ASEAN in the past few years. The development is indeed better than that of Vancouver and Sydney, but the land prices in these places are also expensive, and the development model of Grosvenor Group is different.

For hundreds of years, the Grosvenor Group has purchased wasteland next to the urban area at a very low cost, and then developed it into a new urban center integrating commerce, business offices, and residences through decades of development.

However, this development model is not suitable for Hong Kong, Johor Bahru, Rayong and other cities, nor is it suitable for the Japanese market.

"Mr. Li's proposal, I still need to communicate with the senior management of the group, and put this matter aside for the time being.

Mr. Li was invited here today mainly to communicate about my cousin Lisa and her husband Zhou Pengfei.

My wife and I are both soldiers, and we are really not very good at doing business. In order to prevent the family business from declining in our hands, we plan to let Lisa come back and continue to take charge of the Grosvenor Group.

Considering that this may separate her and her husband, our Grosvenor family is willing to support Zhou Pengfei to start a business in London, so that when their children inherit the title of Viscount of my cousin in the future, they can also have an asset under their own control. Rather than being a subsidiary of Earl Donghua. "

Li Jianhui didn't expect Grosvenor to poach his corner, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that Zhou Pengfei's wife is also related to it, and he will not directly object. He just expresses that it depends on Zhou Pengfei's wishes in this regard. If Zhou Pengfei wants to leave the Xinjian Department and start a business in London, he will not object.

It seemed that Grosvenor was waiting for Li Jianhui's words, and as soon as Li Jianhui finished speaking, he immediately said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your understanding, I believe Mr. Li also knows the embarrassment that Zhou Pengfei is currently under your banner.

If he hadn't married my cousin, I'm afraid he is still the number one high-level person under your management, in charge of the huge Lanfeng Holding Group.Also your representative in England.

It's a pity that good luck tricked people, because of Donghuahui's relationship with us, he had to choose to leave.

And because he is a British citizen and has a lifetime baronetship, it is also embarrassing to return to Xiangjiang.

Mr. Li may think that the Political and Economic Research Office is extremely important, but he has neglected that Zhou Pengfei is still a young man, and he is not interested in intelligence, and unlike you, he has no plans to retreat behind the scenes. "

Li Jianhui also realized that he did not think too much about Zhou Pengfei's position when he adjusted Zhou Pengfei's position, so that he felt a little bit of self-blame in his heart.

But Zhou Pengfei didn't want to be the director of the Political and Economic Research Office, but he didn't explain it to himself, but through the Grosvenor family, it was quite disappointing. Could it be that he was so unkind in his heart?
"Mr. Grosvenor, I used to think that the marriage between Zhou Pengfei and Ms. Grosvenor was a match made in heaven, and it also served as a bridge for the cooperation between the East China Association and the British nobles.

It's a pity that in just a few years, you have turned our Donghua Club from a partner to a competitor. Every time you think about it, you feel chilling.

I also know that Pengfei is uncomfortable being caught in the middle, and I also know that Miss Grosvenor absolutely does not want to be a housewife.

Please rest assured that I will respect Zhou Pengfei's choice and will never create difficulties for Zhou Pengfei to come to London to start a business.

I also hope that Mr. Grosvenor will not mind Pengfei's Chinese identity, and I also hope that the Grosvenor family will fully support Pengfei in the future. "

Hearing Li Jianhui's words, Grosvenor felt relieved. Zhou Pengfei was not a small figure in the Xinjian department. He resigned and came to London to start a business. In addition, his wife was a member of the Grosvenor family. The high-level leaders of the department and even the East China Association were in shock. After all, Zhou Pengfei had come into contact with too many core secrets of the Xinjian Department and even the East China Association.

Without Li Jianhui's promise, they really couldn't guarantee that Zhou Pengfei would be able to come to London smoothly after resigning.
