Finally, after signing a contract to order 100,000 induction cookers within 3 months, Li Changheng held a not-so-small reception for Grosvenor.

And the price of 3.2 pounds a unit, plus the contract to ship the goods to New York, made Grosvenor just earn a little labor cost.

Unless the quantity is not too much, it is stated in the contract that this batch of induction cookers cannot be sold in physical stores, nor can they be transferred to a third party, nor can they be sold in mainland Europe.

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

Calculated at the exchange rate at this time, 3.2 pounds is almost 8 dollars.

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

However, Li Changheng decided to sell only 10 US dollars a unit, not making any money, the purpose is to use sales to stimulate major U.S. manufacturers.

They got a lower ex-factory price from them, after all, the United States is in a period of economic recession at this time.

Ordinary people have less money, and manufacturers have a harder time selling goods than ever, and they have a way to save their factories.

Some manufacturers that are about to go bankrupt, how can they care about the problems that Li Changheng will control their sales channels in the future.

When the time comes, you have to revitalize the factory before negotiating with Li Changheng.

As for the development of TV shopping, it will weaken the interests of middlemen. There is no alternative.

Li Changheng, who has seen the mobile shopping frenzy, certainly understands that the rise of TV shopping is bound to steal the interests of some people.

However, whether the sales middlemen are in the United States or Europe, their power is indeed several levels lower than that of the consortium.

And how fierce the fight between these sellers before, how difficult it will be for them to cooperate in the future.

In the end, the high probability is just a pan of sand.

As for Grosvenor's electronic product company, after being used up, it will definitely be thrown aside.

After all, Li Changheng saw clearly that the United States is his basic market and the most profitable market.

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

Fortunately, this batch of goods are just ordinary induction cookers. Once the sales are opened, the sales of luxury induction cookers will inevitably increase with the sales due to fame.

Making money is definitely not a question. The increase in brand value is also one of the main reasons Li Changheng’s negotiating team can persuade Grosvenor and his team.

But Grosvenor's compromise does not rule out that he is caring about Li Changheng's power in the United States and England, as well as coveting other businesses in his hands.

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

Just let Grosvenor's construction company earn 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 request is not excessive, Grosvenor has little confidence to disobey.

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

Grosvenor didn't have the confidence to care about the price of the product, and wanted to sell a higher-priced induction cooker with a more exquisite appearance.

------

Probably because Li Changheng took the initiative to hold a cocktail party for the first time, although not many people were invited.

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

Except for Li Changheng's reasons, the Americans looked down on the fallen English aristocracy on the surface, but still actively wanted to make friends with the great aristocracy.

One is to increase their network and reputation, and the second is that the nobles have no political rights, but economically they always stand on the pyramid of the wealth list.

As soon as fame and fortune are involved in anything, then some people take the initiative to move closer.

Not to mention this reception, it was the first time that Li Changheng took the initiative to organize it.

There were too many people here. The Waldorf Astoria Hotel had to discuss with Li Changheng first, and then mobilized dozens of security guards, waiters and chefs.

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 the celebrities in New York from 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 promised that all expenses tonight will be free.

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

4, 500 people at a cocktail party, the food consumption is not small.

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

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

Since people apologized and lost money, if they hold on to it, they will seem too stingy and obsessed with retribution.

After Anne waited for the hotel owner and manager to leave, she smiled and whispered in his ear, "My dear, the three banquet halls are fully opened, saving at least $200,000, which is enough for our family to spend 2 months."

After hearing this, Li Changheng rolled his eyes. If this was spread out, he would definitely be laughed at by the nobles on the other side of England.

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

Once a woman with Anne's identity has let go of consumption, one million dollars a month is a trivial matter.

Of course, it may also be that she has no shortage of jewellery. She has a 5% stake in the Diamond Group and opened a jewellery shop on Hong Kong Island.

The sparkling stone like diamond is no longer a rarity to Annie and Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei even didn't want to wear other jewellery except for the bloodstone bracelet given by Li Changheng.

After the reception, half a month passed unconsciously.

After staying with Annie for a week in these 15 days~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Changheng is really embarrassed to postpone the promise of going to Hong Kong Island, and flew to Hong Kong Island to accompany Ruan Mei for a week.

It wasn't until his staff reported that Citi's market value officially exceeded $16 billion, and the preliminary preparations for TV sales had been completed.

This was the reason Ruan Mei told her to fly back to New York amidst the voice of her request that she must go back and accompany her during the New Year.

The matter of Citigroup is well resolved.

Tyler Garnell, the vice president of Citigroup, not only did well the task ordered by Li Changheng, but also spread the news that he might sell the Canal oil field all over the world.

They also used West German pressure to force England to agree to cooperate with Citibank and obtain the qualifications 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 transfer funds in and out, so as to complete the settlement of claims and debts between the economies or the transfer of funds.

Leaving aside the costs incurred by claims and debts, just keeping the money in Citigroup is good for the bank.
