Chapter 1118: Strike Again
Perhaps it was the Phoenix Group's press conference that angered the U.S. government, or perhaps they felt that their authority as a superpower had been challenged.
On the morning of the 14th Los Angeles time, the spokesman of the US Department of Commerce conducted an anti-dumping investigation on Phoenix Computer, Phoenix S1 operating system, and Dongfang Semiconductor Group chips at a press conference, and the results will be announced within a week.
At present, the main business of Dongfang Semiconductor Group is the U.S. market in addition to the Li consortium, once the U.S. government increases dumping duties on Dongfang Semiconductor and increases tariffs on Dongfang Semiconductor Group's products, the impact on the performance of Dongfang Semiconductor Group is considerable.
The goal of the US consortium is very clear, that is, to squeeze out the high-tech industries under the Lee consortium from the US market, especially those related to computers and the Internet.
The Li consortium's invincible weapon of competition over the years is price, and the cost of the Lee consortium's products of the same quality is much lower than that of companies in the United States, which also gives the Lee consortium the confidence to compete with American enterprises, and it can eliminate a large number of competitors in terms of price.
Moreover, what makes the American consortium most unhappy is that the group of the Li consortium basically chose to list in Xiangjiang, and most of the shares are still in their hands, which makes them unable to get dividends from the Li consortium, and they naturally hope to suppress the Li consortium.
You must know that the main business of these consortia in the United States is finance, and the wolves on Wall Street are their spokesmen, and the shares of many large companies in the United States are controlled by them.
Now their main opponent is still in Japan, and those Japanese conglomerates are now very strong, with seven of the top ten groups in the world by market capitalization, Japan occupying seven, the United States only three, and none of the other countries and regions.
Moreover, with the current development momentum of Japan, it is estimated that the market value of the top ten companies will increase, such as the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, Toyota Motor Group, Dai-ichi Quanye Bank, Industrial Bank of Japan, Japan Telegraph and Telephone Company, and Fuji Bank, these seven companies are among the top seven in the world, and the United States' IBM, ExxonMobil, and General Electric are pressed behind.
And in the eleventh place is the Union Bank of Japan, which is likely to suppress GE this year.
Therefore, although Li Guangyu is now very strong and jumps more happily, Japan and the United States both regard each other as their main opponents, and the Li consortium can be suppressed a little, and after the other party is resolved, it will slowly clean up the Li consortium.
On the morning of the 15th, Xiangjiang time, Li Guangyu listened to He Jin's report on the situation in the United States in his office.
Li Guangyu knew that the road of selling at low prices to seize the market would not work, and if the Phoenix Group continued to do so, the US Government would certainly take anti-dumping measures against the Phoenix Group.
This time, the U.S. government is obviously forcing the Phoenix Group to raise prices, so that the Phoenix operating system loses its price advantage and better protects Microsoft in its domestic market.
Li Guangyu said: "Since you can't sell at a low price, you will adjust the price to a similar position as Microsoft, and the extra profits will enhance the publicity in the United States and the rebate of terminal sales. ”
He Jin is also reluctant to send money to the U.S. government, and now that the U.S. wants to attack their prices, they can only raise the price and sell, and at the same time, the Ministry of Justice also needs to fight a dozen lawsuits with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Anyway, according to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, their Phoenix Group is not enough to dump the United States, and the cost on their side is relatively low, not because their prices are too low on the United States, but because Microsoft's prices are too high, and the other party obviously does not want to lower the prices, which creates such a situation.
And it's not just that Microsoft doesn't want to drop, it's estimated that the consortium behind doesn't want the operating system to sell at the price of cabbage, as capitalists, they naturally hope that the higher the profit, the better.
He Jin responded: "Li Sheng, I'm afraid that if we suddenly raise prices, consumers in the United States will be dissatisfied, which will have some negative impact on our group." ”
Of course, Li Guangyu is aware of the situation in this regard, but he already has a countermeasure, and the reason for this price increase can be completely attributed to Microsoft and the US Department of Commerce, because they believe that the price of the Phoenix Group is too low, which has hindered the economic development of the United States, and the increase in the shopping cost of the American people can only be blamed on the US government and Microsoft.
Li Guangyu said: "The main reason for the media to publicize this aspect is to put the US government and Microsoft, and you focus on the market in Greater China, the British Commonwealth, Western Europe, Japan and South Korea, etc., although the demand in the mainland is still very small, and the market is not large, but you have to pay attention to it, this is the largest market in the future." ”
As a high-tech company that is not in the United States, it is very difficult to occupy the American market, unless you are willing to let this company become a vassal of the American consortium, otherwise don't try to grab food in the American market, the other party will try to drive you out of the American market.
In the future, the main markets of the Lee consortium will only be the Greater China region, Southeast Asia and the Commonwealth market, the Eastern European market, the Japanese and South Korean markets, and the consortium of these two countries is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He Jin naturally knows the importance and potential of the mainland market, as long as the Phoenix Group can firmly occupy the mainland market, he is not afraid to compete with Microsoft, although the mainland can still take a long time, but she has patience to wait, and now she focuses on Western Europe, Japan and South Korea.
He Jin responded: "I will go to Beijing in the name of the group in the near future to negotiate with the Mainland Department of Industry and Information Technology, hoping that the mainland government can use our operating system in full, we can give some preferential prices in terms of price, and we can promise that the funds will be settled in RMB, and we will not convert foreign exchange within 10 years." ”
He Jin is not afraid that it will be all RMB, she is ready to start a large-scale layout of Phoenix direct stores in the mainland, and now she mainly uses computers and mobile phones.
The cooperation between the Heung Kong Communication Group and the mainland has been negotiated, and Guangdong Province will be connected with Xiangjiang and Lisboa to achieve mobile communications, which gives the Phoenix Group the opportunity to enter the mainland.
Although the reform and opening up of the mainland is still in the early stage, but since 80 years to allow self-employed people to exist, eight years have passed, and in these eight years, many self-employed people still have good savings, not to mention others, hundreds of thousands of cars have a lot of private purchases, more than 20,000 mobile phones must be used.
And with the passage of time, many production companies of Phoenix Group will be placed in the mainland in the future, and this construction also requires a lot of funds.
He Jin believes that this negotiation should be very pleasant, the quality of his Phoenix operating system is no worse than Microsoft's, and the mainland government will definitely be more willing to choose Heungjiang's products than American companies.
Li Guangyu said: "You can make your own decisions in this regard, and He Qian is coming back, you can take her with you at that time, and focus on letting her be in charge of the software company's business." ”
He Jin has long known that the software company will be independent in the future, so she is not too surprised, and in the future, Phoenix Group will mainly focus on hardware.
