Chapter 918: The American Consortium with Many Contradictions (Plus Change)
The clock of '85 has begun to rotate, and the summary meeting of the Lee consortium took a very long time, which lasted three days.
In the financial report, Zhou Xiaoning and their own evaluation and the evaluation of the Li consortium by various institutions, excluding Tianyu Financial Group, the total market value of the Li consortium has reached 125 billion US dollars.
The reason for such a big increase this year is that Xingyuan Group has brought tens of billions of assets to the consortium, and secondly, Heung Kong Communication Group continues to expand.
The third is the expansion of Pengyu Group in the mainland and Southeast Asian markets, which has made the market value of Pengyu Group soar, and many institutions have equated the market value of Pengyu Group and Hongyu Garment Group.
As for the market value of Tianyu Financial Group, it is really difficult to evaluate, and the Li consortium has never cared about this aspect, and Li Guangyu is more concerned about the profitability of the consortium.
Although there was no big move in the stock market in 84, Tianyu Investment Group's bottom-buying in the Xiangjiang stock market, coupled with the soaring market value of Internet companies and related companies invested in the United States, and the amazing income brought by the Marandu iron ore mine still benefited the Li consortium a lot.
In this year, the total profit of the consortium exceeded 13 billion US dollars, but the investment was also powerful, this year, investment everywhere, especially in the United Kingdom cost 7 billion US dollars, plus Li Guangyu's continued capital injection into some groups, if it were not for the profit support of the Marandu iron ore mine, the Li consortium would have a deficit in 84 years.
At the meeting, Li Guangyu promised not to siphon out the funds in the accounts of the major groups, so that they have enough funds to expand in 85, and now he still has 3.5 billion US dollars in his hand, and he does not plan to repay the loan of the Japanese consortium for the time being, anyway, it is a low-interest loan, and Li Guangyu is ready to repay this loan after the stock market crash in 87.
After 87 years, he will not worry about development funds at all, and he will have enough confidence to fight against American conglomerates.
The senior executives at the meeting listened to the data, and their hearts were very excited, the assets of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars when the Li consortium took over from Li Guangyu have developed into a comprehensive consortium with assets of hundreds of billions of dollars in just a few years.
This has increased their confidence in the Li consortium, and they believe that the Li consortium will be more dazzling in the future, and the market value of 100 billion assets will exceed 200 billion in two or three years, and the market value will be 300 billion and 500 billion in the future, or even more than 1 trillion US dollars.
They know that it is not a legend, and it will not be a myth, and they believe that the Lee Consortium has the ability and potential to get to that point.
And they believe that this time will not be too long, they can develop a company with a market value of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars into a comprehensive consortium with a market value of 100 billion US dollars in just seven years, and they will be able to raise 100 billion to trillion in five to ten years.
Of course, the focus of this meeting is on the US market, especially at a time when the Lee consortium is facing a knock from the US consortium, how each group can protect its products in the US market.
Li Guangyu said at the meeting: "Now that the information age is coming, it is impossible for the major American consortia to cover the sky with one hand, as long as we are good at looking for opportunities, we will be able to occupy a place in the U.S. market, and the Japanese conglomerate is our very good teacher in this regard. ”
Peng Xiaoli, who is in charge of North American affairs, has been studying how Japanese industries are developing in the U.S. market, hoping to help Lee's industries survive government crackdowns in the U.S.
After Li Guangyu's speech, she said: "I have investigated the struggle between the Japanese consortium and the American consortium in the past 20 years, from the textile industry in the past 60 years, to the steel industry in the 70s, to the automobile industry in the late 70s, and now the electronics industry. ”
"At present, this seems to be the only card that the American consortium can play, and whenever Japanese products occupy a good share of the American market, the US government will introduce import restrictions and increase tariffs to suppress the development of Japanese industries in the United States.
In order to break the restrictions of the United States, many Japanese consortiums have begun to establish production points in the United States to break through the restrictions of the United States government and occupy the American market, among which Toyota is a typical representative.
In addition, the internal consortium in the United States is not very united, and they do not mind cooperating for the sake of profit, so Toyota Motor and General Motors established a joint venture a few months ago, for which Ford and Chrysler also filed a lawsuit with the Federal Council, suing the two major automobile groups for monopoly. ”
......
Peng Xiaoli spoke for five minutes at the meeting, explaining to the top management some of the internal situation of the American consortium and how the Japanese consortium enterprises occupy the American market.
The American consortium is very strong, the top ten consortiums plus dozens of small and medium-sized consortiums, needless to say, the top ten consortiums directly crush the current Li consortium, and the strength of some medium-sized consortiums below should not be underestimated, especially some joint consortiums, such as the central consortium, such as the southern consortium, their strength is still far beyond the Li consortium.
However, the internal struggle of the American consortium is equally serious, the Ford consortium and General Motors have always been hostile to each other, the California consortium and First Citigroup have never been friends, Morgan and Rockefeller have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and there are only interests, and these American consortiums do not mind cooperation.
At present, when the General Motors Group is officially very weak, Toyota also sees this, so it cooperates with GM to establish a joint venture automobile company.
After listening to Peng Xiaoli's detailed explanation of the situation in the United States, the senior management of the Li consortium was not as worried as before, and it was possible to say that the American consortium began to suppress the Li consortium, and they did not have any pressure.
Don't look at the market value of the Lee consortium has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and none of the top ten US consortiums is less than one trillion.
After everyone digested what Peng Xiaoli said, Li Guangyu said to everyone: "Everyone has also heard Miss Peng's story, the American consortium is not terrible, they are also full of internal contradictions, as long as we all work together, our Li consortium will not become a vassal of any force." ”
At the same time, Li Guangyu also stressed that in the coming year, the focus will be on developing the markets of Australia, Canada and Latin America, and the heads of each group should shift the focus of development to Australia and the Americas, and suspend the development of the Western European market.
Li Guangyu does not want trade competition everywhere in the world now, and a slowdown in Western Europe and the current focus on other regions can also reduce the pressure on the Lee consortium.
There is no pressure on several major construction groups, and they still follow their own plans step by step.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu specially asked Gu Zhengsheng to stay in Xiangjiang for two more days, and in the Pilbara area, 30 kilometers away from the Marandu iron ore mine, Xingyuan Group once again discovered a vein with reserves no less than that of the Marandu iron ore.
Now this news has not been released to the outside world, and it is waiting for Li Guangyu's orders.
Lee Kwang-woo himself did not plan to mine this vein alone, he planned to continue to exchange some money from the Japanese consortium, and this time he was also going to bring in the South Korean consortium and some Western European consortiums.
