Chapter 890: Tariffs
After Li Guangyu discussed the Phoenix Group with He Jin, he just walked out of He Jin's office when he bumped into He Chaoqiong who came in a hurry.
After more than a year of assistant career by He Jin's side, He Chaoqiong is now more and more transformed into a strong woman in the workplace.
Although they work in the same building, Li Guangyu and He Chaoqiong have very little time to meet, far less than the time for several gatherings to meet.
In the Li Building, in addition to holding extremely important meetings, there is usually no direct contact between Li Guangyu and He Chaoqiong at work, under normal circumstances, if there is any problem with the group, He Jin goes to the top and reports to Li Guangyu in person, or Li Guangyu asks Gan Qin to send a notice directly, and it is rare to meet in such a situation.
After He Chaoqiong saw Li Guangyu, she immediately said: "Cousin, did you receive any news today, so you came?" ”
He Chaoqiong felt that Li Guangyu had forgotten that he was still working as an assistant to He Jin, and the Li consortium had been established for so long, except for Gan Qin, no one had served as an assistant to him for a year and a half.
Gan Qin's reluctance to change positions, he is not, the other assistants of the group will be able to transfer to the vice president of the group in a year at most, it is good for him, it has been a year and a half, and there is no news now, which makes He Chaoqiong quite anxious.
But she can't tell Li Guangyu about this matter clearly, he is embarrassed to ask for a position, which will only show that he is incapable.
Fortunately, he is luckier than He Hao, he is currently enjoying the treatment of the vice president of the Li Foundation, and He Hao is now equivalent to the treatment of the manager of the subsidiary of the Li Foundation, and he is also a seventh-level treatment, with an annual salary of only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is even more tragic than himself.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Cousin, what news, do you have any bad news, look at you in a hurry." ”
"Cousin, our group is in some trouble this time, I just got the news that the US government is preparing to impose special tariffs on our Phoenix mobile phones and Lokia in Western Europe, which will hit our already small market in the United States hard. ”
Li Guangyu knew very well that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so early and so quickly, you must know that Motorola's shipments are higher than those of Phoenix Group, even then they actually want to move the government to increase tariffs on Phoenix mobile phones and Lokia, so that Phoenix Group and Lokia have no way to compete with them for the market in the United States.
And on this, Li Guangyu has no countermeasures at all, Motorola can say that the United States will target the Phoenix mobile phone, Li Guangyu can say who to move, Xiangjiang is a free trade port, and the governments of Britain, Baodao, and Japan will obviously not increase tariffs on American companies for the sake of the Phoenix Group.
This is also the biggest weakness of the Li consortium, and in this position, the Li consortium is like a rootless pine, dealing with such hooligan competition from some American groups, and it is difficult to occupy the US market before the technology is fully advanced.
At present, Lee Guangyu needs to speed up the development of the Western European market and the Australian market, and at the same time continue to stabilize the Asian market, so that the Lee consortium will not be greatly damaged when the American consortium and enterprises want to target the Lee consortium.
Li Guangyu said: "Cousin, you go and inform the senior staff of the group to have a meeting in the conference room in 10 minutes, and at the same time notify Gan Qin to attend, I will go in and explain the situation to Sister Jin." ”
He Chaoqiong also knows the importance of this matter, the United States is currently the largest market, once the Phoenix Group loses this market, it will be quite unfavorable to the development of the Phoenix Group.
After he responded, he immediately went to inform the relevant personnel.
......
When Li Guangyu and He Jin walked into the conference room, Gan Qin and the senior management of the Phoenix Group had already arrived in the conference room and were waiting for their arrival.
Li Guangyu said after everyone sat down: "Chaoqiong, you tell everyone the news you received. ”
After listening to Li Guangyu's instructions, He Chaoqiong said to those present: "I just received a report from the person in charge of our mobile phone store in the United States, and the U.S. Congress will vote on tariffs on some imported products at 9 a.m. local time on December 9, including our group's Phoenix mobile phone, which will be adjusted from the current 10% to 50%, and it also involves our brother group, Bentley's Bentley, Jaguar, Maserati and other luxury cars and sports cars. ”
The senior management here does not care about the problem of Bentley Group, and now the United States has adjusted the import tariff of Phoenix mobile phones to 50%, which is to directly sweep Phoenix mobile phones out of the American market.
Once Motorola engages in a price war, they and Lokia simply have no ability to fight back, and there is no way to compete at all.
The faces of the high-level people here are very ugly, they are not afraid of anyone in business, but they can't think of any way to solve this kind of hooliganism of the government.
Li Guangyu saw that everyone didn't speak, he said with a smile: "Why, you will be discouraged when Motorola makes this move, isn't the United States deliberately targeting our Phoenix Group and the Lokia Group in Western Europe this time to escort their domestic Motorola, what is there to be so discouraged." ”
"You have to remember that our group, whether it is now or in the future, its market is in the Greater China region, in Asia, as long as we stabilize the market here, we are not afraid of any company joining hands with their government to play hooligans against us and undermine the market principle of fair competition. ”
As the senior management of the Lee Foundation, they are very clear about Li Guangyu's strategy, the US market has never been the focus of the Li Foundation, and the focus of the Li Consortium has been positioned in Greater China and Asia from the very beginning, and it has not changed over the years.
The future mainland market is theirs, the center of gravity, the same Chinese people, these high-level believe that the mainland will not deliberately target the Phoenix Group.
At present, the quality of Phoenix mobile phones and Motorola is about the same, so the impact of tariffs is very large, and when a new generation of mobile phones appears in the future, they will reduce a lot of pressure, as long as they develop mobile phones that are popular with American people, the United States will increase the tariffs to them, and the American people will naturally pay for them.
He Jin said at the meeting: "Our group should be prepared in all aspects, this time it is the United States, next time it may be Japan, and it may be other countries in the future. ”
"So our senior management must now establish a concept, our group can only rely on technology to win the market, as long as our mobile phones and computers have been in the same industry leader, we can occupy a wide range of market, our group's prospects will be bright." ”
Li Guangyu wants to let the Phoenix Group follow the path of Apple in the previous life, although the sales volume is not the largest, but the group is the most profitable, as long as the Phoenix Group's products have been in the leading position, he is not afraid that some countries will deliberately increase tariffs on the Phoenix Group.
Zhou Libin, vice president in charge of technology research and development, said: "Li Sheng, Miss He, please rest assured, I will attach great importance to this aspect of development and investment, so that our group's products can lead the trend of the industry, so that our technology can far exceed similar products." ”
