After signing the contract to order 100,000 induction cookers within three months, Li Changheng held a not-small cocktail party for Grosvenor.

The price of £3.2 per unit, plus the contract for shipping to New York, makes Grosvenor only earn some labor costs.

If it weren't for the large number and the contract stated that this batch of induction cookers could not be sold in physical stores, nor could it be transferred to third parties, nor could it be sold in mainland Europe.

Even if Li Changheng takes 40% of the shares of the electronics company, Grosvenor will never agree to this price.

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

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

Li Changheng decided to sell only $10 each, so he couldn't make any money. The purpose was to use sales to stimulate major American manufacturers.

Get a lower 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 are more difficult to sell goods than before, and there is a way to save their factories.

Some manufacturers that are about to go bankrupt have no intention of caring about the problem of Li Changheng's sales channel being held in the future and being restricted by Li Changheng.

When that time comes, we have to revitalize the factory first and then negotiate with Li Changheng.

As for the development of TV shopping, it will weaken the interests of middlemen, and there is nothing we can do about it.

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

However, sales middlemen, whether in the United States or Europe, are indeed several levels lower than consortiums.

Moreover, the more fierce the fight between these sellers were, the more difficult it would be for them to cooperate in the future.

In the end, it is likely to be a mess.

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

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

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

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

There is definitely no question about making money. The improvement of brand value is also one of the main reasons why Li Changheng's negotiating team can persuade Grosvenor and his team.

However, Grosvenor's compromise does not rule out that he is concerned about Li Changheng's power in the United States and England, and covets other businesses in his hands.

Let’s not talk about the future, there are more than a dozen buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong Island and a large number of infrastructure projects in recent years.

This made the construction company under Grosvenor's name make a fortune, and he even sent more than half of his energy and manpower to Hong Kong Island.

As the largest financial backer of the Grosvenor family at this time, as long as Li Changheng’s request was not excessive, Grosvenor did not have much confidence to disobey.

Waiting for 100,000 induction cookers was really sold out as Li Changheng expected.

In addition to calculating the price of the product, Grosvenor hopes to sell at a higher price and a more exquisite appearance, he has no confidence to care about Li Changheng.

------

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

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

In addition to Li Changheng's reasons, the Americans looked down on the declining English nobles on the surface, but they still took the initiative to make friends with great nobles.

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

Once anything involves fame and fortune, some people will take the initiative to get closer.

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

There were too many people coming, so I had to discuss with Li Changheng first, and again mobilized dozens of security guards, and the waiter and chef came over.

Then the other two banquet halls on this floor of the cocktail hall are opened.

Moreover, it is probably because the hotel itself is unwilling to block New York celebrities from outside the hotel.

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

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

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

For a cocktail party of 4,500 people, the food consumption is quite large.

The prices of several red wines, champagne and whiskey that Anne designated to ask for are not low.

Therefore, although Li Changheng did not refuse the free proposal, he also gave up the idea of ​​causing trouble for the hotel afterwards.

Since someone apologized and lost money, he would not let go of it, he would seem too stingy and vengeful.

After Annie and the hotel owner and manager left, she smiled and murmured in his ear, "Dear, all three banquet halls are open, saving at least US$200,000, which is enough for our family to spend 2 months."

After hearing this, Li Changheng rolled his eyes. If this was spread, it would definitely be laughed at by the nobles in England.

However, he did not intend to change Anne's actually quite saving habits.

Once a woman with an identity like Anne has let go of spending, one million US dollars a month is a slight idea.

Of course, it may also be that she really has no shortage of jewelry. After she has mastered 5% of the shares of Diamond Group and opened a jewelry store on Hong Kong Island.

A shiny stone like diamond is no longer a rare thing for Annie and Ruan Mei.

Ruan Mei is even reluctant to wear any other jewelry except the bloodstone bracelet given by Li Changheng.

------

After the cocktail party, half a month passed without realizing it.

After spending a week with Anne in these 15 days, Li Changheng was really embarrassed to postpone his promise to go to Hong Kong Island and flew to Hong Kong Island to accompany Ruan Mei for a week.

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

Then Ruan Mei told her to fly back to New York amid the instructions that she must go back to accompany her during the Chinese New Year.

The matter of Citigroup is easy to solve.

Taylor Ganell, the vice president of Citi, not only completed the task ordered by Li Changheng, but also spread the news that he might sell the Canal oil field.

He also took advantage of the pressure from West Germany to force England to agree to cooperate with Citibank and obtained the qualification of the most important settlement bank.

The function of a settlement bank, in the most blunt explanation, is that customers use this bank to remit funds, so as to complete the liquidation of debts and debts between the economy or allocate funds.
