Chapter 1312 : The dark battle between the chaebols!

No matter how the outside world comments, mini localization production has become the last trump card for Li Fanyu to win the bet. If this card is not played, it will be fine. As long as it is played out, there will be no way out.

While Li Kai mobilized the newly completed industrial center to speed up the assembly of machines and approve the parts needed by the mini, Li Fanyu was also in contact with several British agents of the former Rolls-Royce.

It is not enough to have production. If you want to buy a good car, a powerful dealer is a must. Among several agents in the UK, the two giants Wales and Govro are more optimistic;

The president of Wales is Frederick Jighn, the 40-year-old president himself is a member of the British royal family and a British luxury giant. At the same time, his company also owns Toyota's brand agency rights, with more than 200 stores throughout England and a vehicle sales website Car-Buy with more than 30 million registered users.

Govro's background is not as deep as Wales, but the strength of this automobile company cannot be underestimated.

In the Scotland region, the company almost monopolizes the consumer market for used and mid- and low-end car models. With more than 70 years of operation in the Scotland region, it has a huge mass base.

Previously, the two showed great interest in the three brands of Zhengxin's Audi, X-car and pure electric BMW, but Zhengxin is still studying the global plan of several of its brands and has not formally determined the ownership of distribution agency rights in various regions.

Now, Li Fanyu can't wait anymore. He asked the group to help him contact the two companies and set the meeting time.

What Li Fanyu didn't expect was that on the day he sent the invitation, representatives from the two companies arrived.

Li Fanyu has already prepared for a protracted war in the UK, and it is always inconvenient to enter and exit the hotel, so he rented a high-rise apartment near the Rolls-Royce headquarters.

It is said to be an apartment, but the area is more than 300 square meters, and the entire villa is located on a high-rise building. All the facilities inside are ready-made, and the living room and office are all equipped. The three-month rent alone is enough for Li Fanyu to buy a house of eighty or ninety square meters in Tiancheng.

Here, Li Fanyu received representatives from the two companies. However, to be on the safe side, he did not put the two together to meet. Instead, he used the time difference to separate the two.

The first person I met was the representative of Govro.

This company can be seen to be very pragmatic. After communicating with Li Fanyu about regional agency rights, various actual operation conditions and production plans for production lines, it directly gave a solid foundation.

Li Fanyu had already investigated Govro's situation before and was quite satisfied with this attitude of cooperation. He immediately settled the matter and asked the Zhengxin team to discuss in detail with the representatives of Govro.

However, the Welsh Company surprised Li Fanyu a little.

Before, the other party just said that he would send a representative, but he did not expect that Frederick Zigern, the president of Wales, the current Prince of Wales and the cousin of the British Crown Prince Charles.

"Mr. Li, please don't look at me like this. It's rude."

Seeing Li Fanyu's surprise, Frederick smiled. After all, he was a nobleman, and even the crow's feet controlled by the crow's feet had a sense of ritual.

Li Fanyu complained a little in his heart, and his face returned to normal. "I really didn't expect that Mr. Marquis would come in person."

"It's nothing strange. In business, the nobles of the British Empire began to make money to support their families since the Age of Discovery. Even now, don't even ask about their own estate business? In the face of money, there are no nobles. We are just peddlers who pursue interests."

Li Fanyu likes to hear these words.

After asking Frederick to sit down, Li Fanyu told him about his plan for the mini;

Mini is a model that has appeared in Times. With its good performance and high personalization, it has become well-known in the UK even as an imported model. However, Mini was previously a model under Audi, but now Li Fanyu wants to improve the company's performance in a short period of time, so he set up a separate brand for the Mini, which was subscribed to Rolls-Royce and authorized production.

Therefore, Li Fanyu's request is to require dealers to vigorously market this new brand, and to take advantage of the previous influence of mini cooper and the cost after local production in the short term, and to completely open up the small car market in the UK.

He said, Frederick Jighn just listened so quietly. Knowing that he had finished all the requests, Frederick nodded softly.

"Mr. Li, what you said is not a problem for the Welsh company. In fact, Wales had previously sold the mini car on CARBUY as an import agent. We can do everything you said. So you must be curious; since there is no problem with these, any representative can explain the matter clearly, why am I here in person?"

Li Fanyu knew that he had something in his words, so he nodded: "As you said, I do have such questions."

Gredrick smiled slightly, "I'm here for not only a mini brand agent. There is another thing I want to discuss with you."

Li Fanyu thought he was talking about several other brands under Zhengxin, so he said: "Sorry, Mr. Ji Geen, our Audi, X-CAR and BMW's global plans are still being formulated. Now I really can't give you an accurate answer."

"No, no, no, what I want to discuss with you is not like this." Gredrick shook his head and said, "What I want to tell you is something outside of business."

"For example?" Li Fanyu straightened his body. He didn't understand what else he had to say about this marquis whom he had never met.

"For example, you must know that the Wicks Group is a family-linked chaebol. They can largely influence some key decisions, even political situations."

Li Fanyu nodded and waited for Frederick's following.

"But what you don't know is that although the royal family has faded out of politics, we have a large number of industries in Britain, and this also requires a stable and beneficial political system. Now, my gentleman from the East, is not afraid to tell you that the manners of some officials of the Ministry of Industry have come to our opposite."

"What you don't know yet is that it is a very serious matter for the royal family to control politics. If the parliamentarians know it, it will probably be a big trouble. And it happened that I knew from an old friend that you have some evidence, and we also need someone who has no relationship with the royal family for the time being to pull this nail for us."

After saying this, Frederick gracefully raised his long legs, picked up the steaming black tea beside him, and smiled slightly at Li Fanyu;

"Mr. Li, are you willing to be this person?"
