After finally signing a contract to order 100,000 induction cookers within three months, Li Changheng held a not-so-small reception for Grosvenor.

And the price of 3.2 pounds a piece, plus the contract to deliver the goods to New York, let Grosvenor only earn a little labor cost.

If it wasn't for the small quantity, it was stated in the contract that this batch of induction cookers cannot be sold in physical stores, nor can they be transferred to third parties, let alone sold in the European continent.

Even if Li Changheng holds a 40% stake in the electronics company, Grosvenor would never agree to this price.

Based on the exchange rate at this time, 3.2 pounds is almost 8 US dollars.

This price is directly 3.4 times less than the induction cooker on the market.

And Li Changheng decided to sell only 10 US dollars a piece, making no money, and the purpose was to use the sales volume to stimulate the major manufacturers in the United States.

Get a lower ex-factory price from them, after all, the United States is in an economic recession at this time.

With less money in the hands of ordinary people, it is harder than ever for manufacturers to sell goods, and there is a way to save their factories.

Some manufacturers who are about to go bankrupt, how can they care about the problem that Li Changheng will control their sales channels in the future and will be restricted by Li Changheng.

When that time really comes, the factory must be revitalized before negotiating with Li Changheng.

As for the development of TV shopping, it will weaken the interests of middlemen, which is also unavoidable.

Li Changheng, who has seen the mobile shopping frenzy, of course understands that the rise of TV shopping will inevitably rob some people of their interests.

However, whether it is the United States or Europe, sales intermediaries are indeed several levels lower than consortiums.

Moreover, how ruthless these sellers were fighting each other before, it will be more difficult for them to cooperate in the future.

In the end, there is a high probability that it will be just a mess.

As for Grosvenor's electronics company, after being used up, it must be thrown aside.

After all, Li Changheng sees very clearly that the United States is his basic market, and it is also the market that can make the most money.

It is absolutely stupid to really help the English to attack native American businessmen.

Fortunately, this batch of goods is just an ordinary induction cooker. Once the sales are opened, the sales of luxury induction cookers will inevitably rise with the sales due to their fame.

Making money is definitely not a question, and the improvement of brand value is also one of the main reasons why Li Changheng's negotiating team was able to persuade Grosvenor and his team.

However, Grosvenor's compromise did not rule out that he was concerned about Li Changheng's influence in the United States and England, and coveted his other businesses.

Leaving aside the future, there have been more than a dozen buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong Island, and a large number of infrastructure projects in recent years.

Let the construction company under the name of Grosvenor make a lot of money, and he has even sent more than half of his energy and manpower to Hong Kong Island.

As the biggest benefactor of the Grosvenor family at this time, as long as Li Changheng's demands were not excessive, Grosvenor would not have the confidence to disobey them.

Waiting for 100,000 induction cookers, as Li Changheng expected, they were sold out quickly.

Apart from worrying about the price of the product, Grosvenor hopes to sell an induction cooker with a higher price and a more exquisite appearance, so he has no confidence to argue with Li Changheng.

------

Probably because it was the first time Li Changheng took the initiative to hold a reception, although not many people were invited.

But the number of uninvited people has exceeded the number of invited people by more than 10 times.

Except for the reason of Li Changheng, the Americans look down on the declining English nobles on the surface, but they still actively want to make friends with the great nobles in their hearts.

One is to increase their network and fame, and the second is that the great nobles have little political power, but economically they always stand on the pyramid of the wealth list.

As soon as fame and fortune are involved in anything, there are plenty of people who will take the initiative to approach them.

Not to mention that this reception was the first time Li Changheng organized it on his own initiative.

There were too many people here, and the Warrendorf Hotel was built, so I had to discuss it with Li Changheng first, and then mobilized dozens of security guards, waiters and chefs to come over.

Then open the other two banquet halls on this floor of the reception hall.

Moreover, probably because the hotel itself is unwilling, it really keeps New York celebrities out of the hotel.

As a result, many people who did not have an invitation letter could easily walk outside the reception hall. Not only did the hotel manager apologize, but even the boss appeared in front of Li Changheng.

While apologizing, he also promised that all expenses tonight will be free.

Li Changheng was originally a little angry because of the poor management of the hotel, but after hearing this, he waved his hands helplessly.

For a reception of 400 or 500 people, the food consumption is not small.

In addition, the prices of the several types of red wine, champagne, and whiskey specified by Anne are not low.

Therefore, although Li Changheng did not refuse the free offer, he also dispelled the idea of ​​making people trouble the hotel afterwards.

Since someone apologized and lost money, it would be too petty and vengeful to hold on to it.

After Annie waited for the hotel owner and manager to leave, she grinned and whispered in his ear, "Honey, all three banquet halls are open, saving at least 200,000 US dollars, which is enough for our family to spend for 2 months."

Li Changheng rolled his eyes after hearing this. If this word got out, he would definitely be laughed at by the nobles in England.

However, he didn't intend to change Annie's habit of saving money.

Once a woman of Annie's status lets go of consumption, a million dollars a month is nothing.

Of course, it may be that she really has no shortage of jewelry, after she has mastered 5% of the shares of the Diamond Group, and opened her own jewelry store in Hong Kong Island.

Diamonds, a shimmering stone, are no longer a rarity to Anne and Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei didn't even want to wear other jewelry except for the bloodstone bracelet that Li Changheng gave her.

------

After the reception, half a month passed without knowing it.

After spending a week with Annie during these 15 days, Li Changheng was really embarrassed to postpone his commitment to go to Hong Kong Island~lightnovelpub.net~ flew to Hong Kong Island to stay with Ruan Mei for a week.

Until his subordinates reported that the market value of Citigroup had officially exceeded 16 billion US dollars, and the preliminary preparations for TV sales had been completed.

It was then that Ruan Mei flew back to New York under the sound of Ruan Mei's entrusting that she must go back to accompany her during the Chinese New Year.

The issue of Citigroup shares is easy to resolve.

Tyler Garnell, the vice president of Citigroup, not only fulfilled the tasks assigned by Li Changheng very well, but also spread the news that he might sell the Kanal Oilfield all over the world.

Using West Germany's pressure, England was forced to agree to cooperate with Citibank and obtained the qualification of the most important settlement bank.

The function of the settlement bank, explained in the most straightforward terms, is that customers use this bank to remit funds in and out, so as to complete the settlement of claims and debts between economies or the transfer of funds.

Leaving aside the expenses caused by creditor's rights and debts, just depositing money in Citigroup is beneficial to the bank.
