Chapter 1058: Conflict of Interests
Li Guangyu did not discuss too many investment issues with the top management of Guocheng, and at present, the cities in the mainland that are open to the outside world are mainly concentrated in the coastal areas, and the mainland is afraid that it will not be fully opened to the outside world until 92 years, and at that time some industries of the Li consortium will begin to lay out in Guocheng.
On the 10th of January, Li Guangyu's special plane returned to Kai Tak Airport, because he had to deal with Wu Wen's funeral in the past few days, Li Guangyu was also quite tired, so he did not go to Wheelock Building, and the second was to rest at home for two days.
Today is Saturday, and Lee Kwang Woo plans to start dealing with the affairs of the industry on Monday.
At the Wheelock Building, several senior executives of the Lee consortium were holding a meeting to discuss the news that Gan Qinglin had brought back from Austria.
Since he was given permission to barter with Li Guangyu, after Gan Qinglin returned, he quickly contacted some Hungarian traders, which were very welcomed by some Hungarian traders.
At present, Hungary has a surplus of some domestic products, many urgently needed products and does not have enough foreign exchange to buy, and the government is strictly short of foreign debt, so they want to do a lot of trade but cannot do it.
And now Donghua Trading Company is different, their products are mutually traded, there is no need for foreign exchange settlement, they sell the domestic products, and at the same time buy some products needed in the country, which promotes the circulation and development of the domestic economy, and some factories can also start production and continue to produce, which is a situation they very much hope to see.
And now it is necessary to coordinate products for Donghua Trading Company, as the director of the internal trade office, Li Xuelan, this meeting is naturally presided over by him.
The products mainly involve household appliances, clothing, and some daily necessities, so the meeting was attended by Fujiwara Huiyin, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Long, Chen Linwen, He Xingzhen, and the person in charge of Pengyu Group and Meiqi Garment Group in Xiangjiang.
Li Xuelan said at the meeting: "You have also seen the order needed this time, and I hope that you can prepare it as soon as possible, and it will be shipped to Hungary by the fleet of Wheelock Shipping Company." ”
There are no opinions on those present, anyway, Donghua Trading Company wants to settle for them, and as for the sale of some products purchased by Donghua Trading Company in Hungary, it needs to be up to Donghua Trading Company itself.
Donghua Trading Company is now a rather outlier in the Li consortium, and the leaders of these groups also regard him as their own customer, but the price of the products sold to Donghua Trading Company is slightly lower than that sold to other channel providers.
And what Gan Qinglin exchanged for from Hungary this time is not very relevant to their interests, and there is nothing they need for the time being.
Originally, Hungarian agricultural products were not bad, but the main trading object there was the Soviet Union, and some countries led by the United States imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union in recent years, which also led to the Soviet Union mainly purchasing from the Soviet Union.
Due to the current weakening of oil prices, Hungary still has a lot of money through its allies, and this time Hungary mainly bartered with Gan Qinglin for resource-based items, including oil.
Among them, naphtha is the top priority, and this time Donghua Trading Company has found a good customer for it, that is, China Gas, naphtha is the main raw material of China Gas.
This time, the barter industry chain was very extensive, first of all, Lee's major groups sold their products to the Donghua Trading Company, and the Donghua Trading Company negotiated with the Hungarian Trading Company, and then purchased naphtha from the allies to reach this deal.
Hungary has relatively few of these resources in its own country, so some products need to be purchased from its allies.
Since the Lee consortium does not have much business in Eastern Europe, it is currently mainly through Hungary to open up trade with the Warsaw Pact member countries.
By slowly establishing contact with these countries in this way, and with the impetus of the Soviet Union's economic reforms, the top of the Lee consortium believed that they would be able to quickly occupy the Eastern European market when the opportunity arose.
At present, what makes them most uncomfortable is the Batumi embargo, which makes it impossible to sell the products needed by some countries in Eastern Europe, such as the products of the Eastern Semiconductor Group.
Zhou Zhigang said: "Miss Li, if I can, I hope that Feiyu Group can establish a clothing wholesale city in Austria, in addition to the clothing of our major groups, we can also introduce some clothing companies from the Greater China region to settle in, mainly to attract traders from Central and Eastern European countries, through whom we can sell our products to the Eastern European market." ”
Zhou Zhigang wants to take the initiative into his own hands, and the Donghua Trading Company will not agree, they are now hoping to develop by monopolizing the Li consortium and Eastern European trade, if the major groups go by themselves, what is the point of their trading company.
He Xingzhen immediately said: "Zhou Sheng, at present, the focus of Feiyu Group is still in Southeast Asia and Greater China, as well as Japan, the United States, Western Europe and other places, and in Eastern Europe, according to Li Sheng's instructions, our Donghua Trading Company is temporarily in charge, and the country there is a shortage of foreign exchange, and the business in other regions is completely different, you can't barter." ”
Li Xuelan is very clear about the thoughts of the following people, everyone hopes to take the initiative, and Hengyu Supermarket Group hopes to trade directly with trading companies in Eastern European countries over there, so as to get rid of Donghua Trading Company.
In the final analysis, these problems are still a matter of interests, and the major groups are very clear that in the future, the salaries of the major groups will be linked to the group's profits, and they can directly participate in the trade in Eastern Europe, so that they will get more profits.
It's just that the current Eastern European market is obviously not suitable for the major groups to fight alone, after all, the distribution system is still in place there, and the main import and export trade is controlled by the government, and the transaction of a single product is not conducive to talking to each other.
This is also the reason why Lee Kong Woo wants to establish a Donghua trading company, in view of the special situation of the Eastern European market, Lee Kuang Woo's barter transaction can promote the trading volume of the Lee consortium and Eastern Europe, and bring a lot of benefits to the Lee consortium.
Li Xuelan said: "You don't have to fight, the affairs of Eastern Europe are currently in full charge of Gan Sheng, as for the trade issue is also the problem of Donghua Trading Company, at present you are not the time to enter the Eastern European market, now to stabilize the foundation of your own group is the most important, I believe that you will have the opportunity to enter the Eastern European market in the future." ”
Zhou Zhigang did not give up on this, many years of experience in the mainland, he is still very optimistic about the establishment of clothing trade city, he believes that the establishment of such a trade city in the major provincial capitals, the future will definitely be able to make a lot of profits, not to mention the development of several groups, just the annual rent can make the group's profits increase a lot.
He said again: "Miss Li, the situation in Eastern Europe is special, we can not consider it for the time being, I propose to establish a garment trade city in Taoyuan, as a pilot, and then promote it in Southeast Asia and the mainland when the time is ripe, so as to enhance our influence, and our group is willing to bear the construction cost in this regard." ”
Feiyu Group, as the first clothing group under the Li consortium, is crushing Nike in all aspects, with a net profit of more than one billion US dollars in 86 years.
The reason for such a high profit is mainly due to the independence of stores, coupled with the addition of Xinghong Sports Group to them, so that their sports series and sports and leisure products are very popular, and their group has enough financial resources to support the construction of clothing trade city.
Li Xuelan sighed at this, real estate is really attractive, she was ready to let Hengyu Supermarket Group enter the real estate industry, establish Hengyu Shopping Center, and build it by herself.
And Zhou Zhigang's idea is similar to his own, except that he mainly serves clothing, which is not much different from Wheelock Place, but the clothing trade city is more professional.
Li Xuelan said: "Zhou Sheng, this matter is too wide-ranging, this is not something I can decide, I will report to Li Sheng on today's issue and see Li Sheng's opinion on this." ”
