The outside world is discussing the Xiangjiang Rich List one after another, and some people are worried about the future of the Li consortium, and Li Guangyu, who is the driving force behind the turmoil, is discussing the affairs of the United States with Qinghong, Wang Hui, Peng Xiaoli, He Jin and Gan Qin in the office at this time.

Perhaps the top management of the United States has realized that there is a problem in its domestic economy, so it has made a lot of moves this month, hoping to protect its domestic companies and reduce its trade deficit.

On the same day that the US Department of Commerce announced that it would conduct anti-dumping investigations against dozens of companies, including the Phoenix Group and the Oriental Semiconductor Group under the Lee Foundation, various economic development data of the United States in the first quarter also came out, and its economic situation was very unoptimistic.

Not to mention the huge fiscal deficit, its domestic economic growth rate hovers between 1%~2%, and the dollar depreciates, which makes the United States urgently need to change its current form.

The unilateral trade protection policy has become a magic weapon for the United States, and it has become a major choice for the US Government to increase import tariffs on the products of foreign enterprises, conduct anti-dumping investigations against some foreign enterprises, compress the living space of these enterprises in the American market, and promote the development of domestic enterprises.

This time, the U.S. Department of Commerce is not only targeting Li Guangyu's Phoenix Group and Oriental Semiconductor Group, but also more companies in Japan, and they alone account for half of the total number of companies targeted by the United States this time, and 13 of the 27 companies targeted by the United States are Japanese.

This can also be seen from this that at present the US consortium still regards the Japanese consortium as their biggest competitor, and now that the momentum of Japan's economic development is too strong, the United States will not relax its suppression of Japanese enterprises.

Li Guangyu said: "The United States is currently very unfavorable to us, especially our Oriental Semiconductor Group, once the ex-factory price is raised, it is difficult for us to compete with Texas Instruments, I don't know if you have any good suggestions for this?"

As Peng Xiaoli, who has been in charge of the affairs of the Lee Foundation in the United States for many years, is very aware of some of the situation in the United States, and the situation that the Lee Foundation is facing in the United States is similar to that faced by the Japanese Foundation in the past 20 years.

Since the 50s, Japanese conglomerates and companies have been constantly targeted by the United States, from the textile industry at the beginning, to the steel industry in the 70s, and now to the automobile and electronics industries.

It can be said that only any company in the U.S. market threatens the development of the U.S. industry, and they will introduce corresponding countermeasures to suppress foreign companies from entering the domestic market, just like automobiles, and the United States even limits the number.

And now the Lee consortium has also enjoyed the treatment of the Japanese consortium, which can only show that some enterprises of the Lee consortium have indeed threatened the development of some enterprises in the United States, so they will attack the enterprises related to the Lee consortium, if there is no big threat, the US government will not bother to pay attention to you.

She said loudly: "Li Sheng, I personally think we still need to learn more from the practices of Japanese companies, they have accumulated a lot of experience in the past few decades of suppression in the United States, they have long been accustomed to these practices of the US government, and they are very comfortable with this kind of thing, many of our companies may face such incidents in the future, and we also need to summarize a set of our own effective response methods to avoid our enterprises from suffering too much loss." ”

Looking at history, we know that since the 50s, Japanese companies have been fighting and retreating, and many industries have signed export restrictions with the United States to reduce the number of products exported to the United States, from the original textile industry to the automobile industry.

Moreover, in order to suppress Japan's exports, the United States has deliberately joined forces with some Western European countries to force the yen to appreciate, increasing the cost of exporting Japanese domestic products and reducing the competitiveness of Japanese domestic products.

Japan is restricted by the United States once, they will upgrade the industry once, restrict him in the textile industry, he will enter the steel industry, he will be restricted from entering the household appliance and automobile industry, this aspect is restricted, and they will enter the electronic semiconductor industry, and Japan is currently the country that occupies the most semiconductor market.

In order to break through the import restrictions of the United States, many large enterprises in Japan have directly established production bases in the United States and continue to maintain the competitiveness of their products, which has solved the employment in the United States and stimulated its domestic economic development.

In order to break through the tariff restrictions on imported cars from the United States, Bentley directly established a production base in the United States, which also made the Bentley Group still occupy a good share of the American market in the past two years.

Phoenix Group has also established a joint venture with Fumao Group to establish Blue Phoenix Company, which is mainly engaged in mobile phone business, and this company Fumao Group occupies 40% of the shares, and Jade Bird Fund and Phoenix Group each hold 30% of the shares.

In order to continue to seize the market, the Phoenix Group is estimated to let the Blue Phoenix Company enter the computer manufacturing industry through technology transfer.

Wang Hui, as the head of foreign intelligence of the Lee Foundation, has deliberately stepped up his investment in the United States since the beginning of this year, and the focus is on business.

He said loudly: "Li Sheng, we Oriental Semiconductor Group still need to try our best to open up markets in other regions, such as the mainland, such as Western Europe, and the United States is obviously trying to sweep us and Japan out of the game and maintain their own domestic semiconductor companies."

Personally, I think that the US economy is now very problematic, and there are major risks in the stock market, and there is too much money in the stock market at present, and in the first three months alone, Japanese funds have invested nearly $5 billion in the stock market, which is a real amount of cash, and I am worried that once all parties are not optimistic about the US stock market, it will definitely collapse. ”

Wang Hui used to be the secretary general of the Executive Yuan of Baodao, the pattern is still very large, he has been the mayor of Taipei, he still knows a lot about the economy, as the intelligence director of the Li consortium, their focus is naturally on economic and commercial intelligence, and the current situation in the United States makes him feel very weird.

In terms of the economic development report of the United States in the first quarter, the stock market should have a decline, but now the stock market is still singing, and the current market value of the US stock market has exceeded 5 trillion US dollars, and the market value is quite terrifying.

At present, the total market value of Xiangjiang is less than 900 billion Hong Kong dollars, and this is because the Xiangyu Culture Group and the Xiangjiang Communications Group have increased the market value of more than 220 billion Hong Kong dollars, otherwise it is even lower, which is enough to see how big the gap between the Xiangjiang stock market and the US stock market is.

If something goes wrong in the United States, it will certainly spread to other stock markets, and Wang Hui hopes that Lee Guangyu will be prepared in this regard.

Subsequently, Gan Qin and He Jin also expressed their opinions, for the hooligan-style approach of the United States, they can only learn from the Japanese consortium, compete with it through other paths, and at the same time upgrade their own industries, through technological innovation, and have core patents, so that they can take the initiative.

They didn't mention much about the matters on the stock market, they knew that Li Guangyu must have his own layout, and they believed that the Li consortium would definitely be one of the biggest winners at that time.
