Chapter 903: In-depth Cooperation
In addition to communicating and cooperating with the Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fujiwara, and Ito families he was familiar with, Li Guangyu also discussed cooperation with the Iwasaki, Yasuda and other families.
This time, the cooperation between the parties has only one purpose, that is, to target the common goal of the American consortium, and now the American consortium is their biggest enemy.
Japan's internal consortium is also full of contradictions, and it is only when they deal with such a huge group of influence as the American consortium that they will be so united, and without the great enemy of the American consortium, Mitsui and Mitsubishi will not fight even if they do not fight, and it is impossible to talk about cooperation.
Moreover, the cooperation between the Lee consortium and the Japanese consortium is limited to the U.S. market, and other regions are still based on their own capabilities.
Many of Lee's industries also compete with Japanese conglomerates, and the automotive industry, one of the most important industries, whether it is Toyota or Mitsubishi, and the Bentley Group are also competing in various places.
In order to jointly deal with the great enemy of the American consortium, the two sides put down competition in some markets and devoted their main energies to the traditional market areas of the American consortium.
Lee Kwang Woo reached an agreement with the Mitsui and Iwasaki families that the Los Angeles Baseball Team Sports Center under the Star Hung Sports Group would be renamed the Toyota Sports Center from the current Flying Feather Center, and the football stadium would be renamed the Mitsubishi Sports Center from the current Star Sports Center.
At the same time, the two teams will use the two automobile groups as the main target of publicity to enhance the influence of the two major cars in the United States.
As for the arena shared by the Lakers and the Ice Hockey Kings, it is still the Bentley Sports Center, and it still mainly promotes Bentley Group's brand cars.
At the same time, the American branch of Jiayi Group will also increase the promotion of the products of the Japanese consortium to gather popularity for Japanese products.
In addition, Hengyu Supermarket Group strengthens cooperation with Japanese companies, so that more Japanese goods can enter the shelves of Hengyu Supermarket and expand the sales channels of these companies' products.
The major Japanese consortia have also given the Lee consortium a lot of benefits, one is that when Christmas is approaching in the West, they are preparing to carry out vigorous promotions in the U.S. market, squeeze the market of local American enterprises, and exert pressure on the U.S. consortia.
The second is to give the Lee consortium a low-interest loan of $5 billion to enhance the cash strength of the Lee consortium and enable the Lee consortium to make waves in markets such as Canada and Mexico, which are behind the United States.
The third is that some of the technologies needed by the Li consortium can be transferred for a fee, such as technology in the steel and electronics industries.
And Li Guangyu is most greedy is some of Japan's electronic technology, the future of mobile phones is not just a phone call, such as photography, which requires a camera, this technology Li consortium is currently zero, this cooperation with Japan, you can buy some technology that Japan does not pay much attention to at present, to prepare for future development.
Li Guangyu took out the media in the United States to promote Japanese products and opened the channels of the Hengyu Supermarket Group to Japanese products, and he did not fancy the $5 billion low-interest loan provided by the Japanese consortium, which was provided to him by the Tianyu Bank and the Xiangjiang Consortium.
There is a lot of technology on the Japanese side, even if the technology transferred to the Lee consortium is not the latest generation, Li Guangyu is already excited.
The establishment of the Li consortium is too short, and it is too time-consuming and labor-intensive for him to develop many technologies from scratch, but with the support of the Japanese consortium, he has the foundation, and he can catch up with the investment in research and development in the future.
Li Guangyu has not forgotten the home appliance industry, the huge market in the mainland is releasing its potential, and the prospects for household appliances in the mainland are very good.
With such an opportunity this time, Li Guangyu is ready to buy all the technology of televisions, washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners in Japan, although the technology is definitely backward compared with Japan's most advanced technology, but it should be enough to meet the needs of the mainland market.
It's just that I don't know if the Japanese consortium will regret it in the future, but this cooperation with the Lee consortium has cultivated a very strong opponent for them.
At the end of the talks, Li Guangyu said: "I believe that this reception will be remembered by countless people, this is the beginning of our Eastern family's boycott of Western consortia, our Asia is currently the fastest growing region in the global economy, I believe that it will not change in the next few decades, with the rapid development of the economy, our Eastern families will become stronger and stronger, and Western consortia and families obviously do not want to see this situation." ”
"Suppressing the rise of our East has always been what they like to do, especially the American consortium, who makes them feel threatened, they will suppress whom, only we cooperate with each other to break the monopoly of the West on the global economy, we must not let the world economy be unilaterally dominated by whites. ”
In modern times, the world pattern is dominated by white people, and the world economy is mainly controlled by them, and neither the Japanese consortium nor Lee Guangyu wants this situation to continue, they hope that they can have a place in the world economy and be able to make their voices heard on it.
Mitsui said: "We have several major Japanese consortia and these families competing with the U.S. conglomerates for decades, hoping to break this situation, and I am glad that Mr. Li can have this understanding, our Oriental nation is the most industrious nation in the world, as long as we join forces, I believe that no force can compete with us." ”
No matter how the political direction changes, in terms of economy, the American consortium has always been the biggest enemy of the Japanese consortium, followed by West Germany, and in terms of machinery manufacturing, only West Germany can suppress them.
Unlike the American conglomerates, which rely on their strong national power to strike at the conglomerates and companies that threaten them everywhere, they will never be able to threaten their development.
Toshihide Iwasaki said: "Our major Japanese families have always been open to cooperation with the major families of the East, and hope that everyone will work together to meet the challenges of the West, but it is a pity that many families do not feel the threat of Western consortia to them, and they are all self-defeating, and they are not willing to cooperate with us to compete with Western consortia such as American conglomerates." ”
Li Guangyu understands the mentality of these families very well, when they are not targeted, who would be willing to risk being suppressed by the American consortium to join forces with the Japanese consortium, first, they feel that it is not necessary, this is none of their business at all.
Second, I am more worried about becoming cannon fodder, the gap between the strength of these families in the East and the consortium is too big, such as those consortiums in South Korea, many of which may not be able to compare with some families in Xiangjiang.
If it weren't for the fact that the American consortium deliberately targeted him this time, Li Guangyu would not have chosen to join forces with the Japanese consortium and the American consortium at this time, after all, the competition between the consortiums is quite fierce, how can he develop with peace of mind.
Li Guangyu said: "I believe that with the continuous development of our eastern economy and the continuous growth of enterprises, these enterprises will understand the restrictions imposed on them by Western consortia and groups, and they will cooperate with us at that time, as long as we can unite as one, one day, the initiative in this area will return to our east." ”
