As Western countries such as the United States and France began to increase import tariffs on goods, the competitiveness of products produced in Hong Kong has undoubtedly declined with the increase in local prices, and it is impossible to compete with local products.

Due to the increase in tariffs, some companies in the United States choose local production companies for OEM, which is a huge blow to Xiangjiang Industry.

In order to continue to obtain orders from the United States and some European countries, enterprises in Xiangjiang have to watch dramas to reduce their own production costs and provide them to orderers at lower prices.

The rapid rise of Xiangjiang's economy has led to a rapid rise in labor costs, and it is obviously impossible for the Xiangjiang factory to significantly reduce costs, and the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, which is not far from Xiangjiang, has entered their eyes.

The labor over there is many times lower than that on the Xiangjiang side, and if the production plant is established there, their costs will be reduced by 20%~30%, which will be quite beneficial to the export of their products.

In the past two years, the development of the Li Group in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone has not only been no problem, but the scale of the group has become larger and larger. This also gives them great confidence in investing in Pengcheng, and the current world situation does not allow them to make changes, and the high cost of Xiangjiang makes it impossible for them to continue to receive orders from Europe and the United States and other countries.

On the side of Xiangjiang, Wu Jiayuan, vice president of Hongyu Group, also reported to Li Guangyu on the situation of Hongyu Group.

Due to the Hongyu Group's self-built brands, coupled with the continuous expansion in the United States in the past two years, and the continuous promotion of Xinghong Sports Group, Hongyu Clothing Group has its own brand stores in various cities in the United States, and the turnover accounts for 30% of the Hongyu Group.

Fortunately, most of the production on Li Guangyu's side has been in Pengcheng, even if it is still sold at the current price, Hongyu Group can also make good profits, but don't think about it if you want to make as high profits as before.

This time, Wu Jiayuan came to ask Li Guangyu whether those brand stores in the United States need to increase their prices and respond to the increase in tariffs in the United States.

After Li Guangyu thought about it for a while, the price still had to be increased, and the United States had increased tariffs, and his own stores were indifferent to it. What does this make American citizens think, co-authoring Hongyu Group's original selling price is so high, and making money in it is so profitable, labeling the Li Group as a black-hearted businessman.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Wu, you have notified all the specialty stores in the United States to post a notice to me that due to the increase in tariffs by the US government, the prices of our various brands of clothing have increased accordingly. ”

Wu Jiayuan said: "Li Sheng, the current economic development of the United States is not very good, our current price after the continuous promotion of Xinghong Sports Group in the past two years, so that the public is more accepting of our brand price, we raise the price again this time, I am afraid that we will lose a large part of the customer." After all, in the case of no increase in people's income, after the price of our clothing and footwear increases, many ordinary families will give up buying our products. ”

Of course, Lee Kwang Woo is aware of this situation, but the price must be increased, which is also a response to the policy introduced by the US government. As for retaining customers, activities are carried out by various districts, so that the citizens can feel the benefits of the Li Group.

Li Guangyu said: "Ms. Wu, after the price increase, you can ask the United States to do more activities, discount sales, seasonal clearance, anniversary celebrations, etc., just pull down the price, so that the public can feel that they are buying a considerable value." ”

Wu Jiayuan listened to Li Guangyu's suggestions and felt that this was the best way at present. The increase in prices does not have much impact on those middle- and upper-class families in the United States, and when these activities are held, they can attract the desire of ordinary families to buy, so as not to cause the loss of Hongyu Group customers.

After entering August, Li Tingwei, director of the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, was very busy, and at the same time he was quite happy, although he continued to meet with the merchants who came to Xiangjiang every day, but he did not have a little impatience, and kept repeatedly explaining the policies of the Special Economic Zone to the various merchants, and also accompanied everyone to visit some enterprises in the Special Economic Zone.

With the changes in the world economic situation, Li Tingwei knows that the opportunity for the development of his Pengcheng Special Economic Zone has come, and his huge human resource advantage and low cost advantage are not comparable to Xiangjiang, with the rise of protectionism in various countries, Xiangjiang industry wants to continue to develop, it must reduce its own production costs, and Pengcheng, which is close to Xiangjiang, is their first choice.

Li Tingwei said at the office meeting of the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone: "Comrades, the current form is quite good for our Special Economic Zone, many entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang hope to reduce the production cost of their company, so that they can be competitive in all parts of the world, and the labor cost in Xiangjiang is more than 20 times that of our side, our huge advantage in this world economy is in a period of economic crisis, and it has a very great attraction to Xiangjiang industry." ”

Li Tingwei demanded that all departments should wholeheartedly receive the Xiangjiang businessmen who came to the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone for inspection, actively answer the questions of the merchants, and strive to enable them to establish production companies in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone and accelerate the development of the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone.

One of the staff members said: "Director Li, many merchants who come here will want to visit Pengyu Group, but if we lead the visit too many times, it will still have some impact on Pengyu Group." Moreover, Pengyu Group has not been quiet these days, Ms. Li Cao is still stationed in Pengyu Group, and Mr. Zheng Dong, President of Hongyu Group, has still not returned to Xiangjiang. ”

Cao Weiqing and others have been here for 6 days, and Li Tingwei naturally knows some of the things that happened to Pengyu Group, but these are all internal matters of Pengyu Group, and he doesn't want to ask too much.

He himself didn't expect Pengyu Group to provide such a high salary to management, and there were still people who wanted to stretch out their hands, but he knew that the management salaries from Xiangjiang were consistent with those from Xiangjiang. One month's salary is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker for one or two years, and it is not satisfied.

Li Tingwei said: "In this regard, I will negotiate with the senior management of Pengyu Group, so that when we visit, we will avoid affecting the normal production and operation of Pengyu Group." ”

Li Tingwei also knows that now Pengyu Group is a banner for their special zone to attract investment, and the huge influence of the Li Group in Xiangjiang is also that the merchants who come to Xiangjiang will only make some of their own choices after seeing the real situation of the companies under the Li Group.

Li Tingwei also hopes that Cao Weiqing and others can rectify the Pengyu Group as soon as possible, so that the Pengyu Group can develop healthily and well, since the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, it is the first Pengyu Group to come to the Special Economic Zone and trust the government. Li Tingwei also hopes that Pengyu Group can continue to operate healthily and steadily together with the Special Economic Zone.

Just when Li Tingwei was still in a meeting, another Xiangjiang businessman came to the Special Economic Zone, but he did not come to Li Tingwei, but went directly to the Pengyu Group and visited Cao Weiqing.

This also controls a well-known garment industry company in Xiangjiang, and his son is Chen Shouzhong.
