Through the wealth life

Chapter 916 Acquisition of Buildings
On the morning of April 4st, accompanied by Gan Qin and Zhang Ziyu, Li Guangyu visited the Bentley Building, which was under construction.

This building will serve as the Western European headquarters of the Lee Consortium in the future. Not only the Bentley Group will work here, but also the Xingyuan Group and the Western European headquarters of its major groups will work in this building.

Therefore, this building not only covers a large area, but also has 56 floors, three floors underground, and 53 floors above. The total height of the building on the ground has reached 201 meters, and the planned investment is one billion US dollars.

Once the Bentley Building is completed, it will be the tallest building in London. It is also another building of the Lee Consortium after the Wheelock Building, which cost more than one billion US dollars.

Although the Xiangjiang HSBC Building is the world's first single building with an investment of more than one billion US dollars, so that the latter can only take second place, but in London, the Bentley Building is still the first.

As for Xiangjiang, there is HSBC at the beginning, followed by many, such as his Wheelock Building, Hong Leong Building of the Singapore Consortium, and many groups behind it.

Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, the construction speed here is far from being comparable to that of Xiangjiang, and even less compared with that of the mainland. It may take 90 years for our building to be put into use."

Li Guangyu didn't have a good solution for this. The workers in Xiangjiang could work [-] hours of overtime and not take a month off.

Wanting such workers here is tantamount to nonsense, which is why Li Guangyu doesn't like to put production factories here. The workers who make him feel at ease are the workers in the Greater China region, and other regions really can't give him much. trust.

In the future, even if labor costs in mainland China rise, Li Guangyu will transfer his business to the west of mainland China. He doesn't want strikes and riots in his business that day.

Li Guangyu said: "There is no rush here, let's wait a little later. Your current office area will be settled for a while. The British economy is starting to grow. You can see if there are any suitable buildings for sale, and if you have, you can buy them." Come down, anyway, this aspect will not lose money, I will inject one billion US dollars into your group this time, which is enough for you to buy the office building."

Li Guangyu brought more than 200 billion U.S. dollars to buy the bottom this time, but there were some problems in France, and the funds in his hands were not used. Since the construction speed of the Bentley Building here is lower than expected, take some money. Buying a building is not too much pressure for Li Guangyu now.

Zhang Ziyu was very happy when he heard that Li Guangyu injected $10 into Bentley again, which made Bentley even more financially rich.

In just over six years, since the establishment of Bentley, Li Guangyu has successively injected more than 50 billion US dollars in capital.

Coupled with their rapid development over the years, even if the Bentley Group is not listed, the valuations given to them by major institutions have exceeded tens of billions of dollars.

At present, only Xiangjiang Air Transport Group and Hengyu Supermarket Group are not enough to compare with them. Xiangjiang Air Transport Group is more ruthless than them.

From the establishment of that group to the present, in just over four years, it has received nearly [-] billion US dollars of capital injection from Li Guangyu, making it a top air transportation group in the world.

The profitability of Hengyu Supermarket Group is too strong. Last year, the turnover officially exceeded the 90 billion mark, 12 billion more than Wal-Mart's announced revenue, and 20 billion more than Carrefour.

At present, the world retail groups ahead of them are Kmart and Sias in the United States. Kmart has a revenue of 280 billion U.S. dollars, and Sias has a turnover of more than 210 billion U.S. dollars.

Zhang Ziyu is very clear that the profit of Bentley Group cannot be compared with that of Hengyu Supermarket Group. The development of this group is too terrifying, and Hengyu Supermarket Group has an advantage over Carrefour and Wal-Mart in all their supermarkets and convenience stores. All are self-owned.

In terms of profitability, these two supermarket groups will be far behind, and with the development of time, Hengyu Supermarket Group will definitely be able to leave these two groups far behind in terms of turnover, and catch up with the current two top retailers in the United States. group.

Zhang Ziyu herself didn't want to compete for the first group under the Li's consortium. Her greatest wish was to keep the Bentley Group's top five position under the Li's consortium.

Although the current Bentley Group is already very strong and its market value is also very good, it is only because of Li Guangyu's continuous capital injection that such achievements are possible.

If Bentley does not work hard on its own development, as time goes by, Bentley's status in the Li's consortium will continue to decline.

For example, the current Xiangjiang Communications Group, Phoenix Group, Oriental Semiconductor Group, Nanhua Group, and those real estate groups all have very good prospects for future development.

As for the Xingyuan Group, Zhang Ziyu automatically filtered out the cheating ones. This is not a normal developing group at all, and Zhang Ziyu is too lazy to compete with it.

They have worked hard for many years, but they are not as good as the piece of land that Li Guangyu gave to Xingyuan Group. With this land, Xingyuan Group's market value easily exceeded tens of billions. , no one group can compare with them.

Even so, the market value of Xingyuan Group still occupies the third place under Li's group. Some organizations value them at 130 billion US dollars, which is only lower than Hengyu Supermarket Group and Xiangjiang Air Transport Group. Even Bentley can't help it. compare to.

Zhang Ziyu said excitedly: "Li Sheng, I will definitely investigate the London market carefully and try to choose a building with potential. Even if our office is transferred to Bentley Building in the future, this building can also earn good income."

Zhang Ziyu, who grew up in Xiangjiang, naturally knows the prospects of the real estate industry. It's a pity that the Bentley Group she leads is a pure car group and cannot develop these side businesses, otherwise she really wants to start a real estate company.

She knew that if she didn't focus on the development of the automobile industry, the position of the president of the Bentley Group would not be stable for herself, so she knew that the real estate industry was lucrative, so she had no choice but to give up.

Li Guangyu doesn't know Zhang Ziyu's thoughts. He plans that Bentley Group is an automobile group, and there will be no enterprises that have nothing to do with automobile research and manufacturing. In the future, Bentley Group will compete with Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors and other automobile groups for the existence of the hegemony of the world's automobile groups. Well, he doesn't want the Bentley Group's development path to go astray.

In the future, Continental's markets will mainly be in Japan, the United States, and Germany. As for South Korea, Italy, and France, the top three countries are not at the same level.

Li Guangyu hopes that this situation will be broken by then, and that Bentley Group Motors will be able to suppress these groups in the mainland market.

Li Guangyu stayed at the construction site of Bentley Building for nearly an hour before returning to Regal Hotel.

This afternoon, Li Guangyu will visit Thatcher and communicate with him about some group matters. Li Guangyu is only going to discuss with Thatcher the major acquisition policy. As for the details, the following people will naturally conduct detailed discussions, involving large companies. The acquisition with the group cannot be negotiated in a day or two.

It took nearly half a year for the last acquisition of Xingyuan Group and British Telecom, and it is estimated that this time it will not be much less.

This time, Li Guangyu planned to take over the British Electricity, Water Power and Natural Gas Company. As for the Iron and Steel Company, it would be the best, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.
