Chapter 895: Initiative
Li Guangyu had lunch at He Zuozhi's house before saying goodbye to him and leaving.
At present, due to the sudden arrival of the United States, some of Li Guangyu's layout has been disrupted, and now he needs to rearrange the development plan of the consortium.
This time it is not only Bentley's luxury cars and Phoenix mobile phones that will be affected, but also the Phoenix computers that will be built and produced have also been hit hard.
At present, the main market for computers is in the United States, and Li Guangyu believes that once Phoenix computers show good potential, the US government will use the same method to target them.
Now it depends on the ability of the Lee consortium to fight back and the game between the major US conglomerates, if the arms consortium behind Boeing and the California consortium that Lee Guangyu will contact can help them, the development of the Lee consortium in the United States will be better, and it will not be so particularly targeted in the future.
If these two major consortia are not willing to make a move, there will be more products in the future of the Li consortium, and the products will follow in the footsteps of Bentley Motors and Phoenix mobile phones.
After Li Guangyu sent Cao Weiqing home, he rushed to the Li Building non-stop to discuss the next development issues with the senior management of the consortium.
This was an executive group meeting, and Gan Qin was allowed to attend as an assistant to Lee Kwang Woo.
Due to the complicated situation faced by the Li consortium this time, Du Yuemei, who has been five months pregnant, also came to the conference room this afternoon.
At present, except for the responsible executives and Cao Weiqing in various regions, all the executive officers and Gan Qin in Xiangjiang have already arrived in the conference room on the top floor, waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival.
This is the first time in seven years that the products of the Li consortium have been treated by the local government to increase tariffs alone, and these high-level officials have never faced and dealt with this experience, and how to solve this matter at this time, and how to avoid such things as much as possible in the future, this is a problem that they urgently need to discuss.
After Li Guangyu arrived at the office, he said to Du Yuemei: "Yuemei, I really work hard for you, because you are based in England and know a lot about Western Europe, so you are also invited to attend this meeting today." ”
In the past few months, Du Yuemei has been raising the baby at home with peace of mind, and her parents have taken care of her in every way, which makes her happy and boring at the same time, which makes her very unaccustomed to doing nothing every day.
As the former president of Bentley Group, Du Yuemei knows very well what it means for the United States to increase the tariffs on Bentley's major brands to 40%.
You must know that at present, several major luxury car production areas are basically in Western Europe, and Jaguar has a production base in Treasure Island, but the top one is still in the United Kingdom.
Combined with freight and duties, Bentley Group cars are 80 or even 100 percent more expensive than in-house cars in the U.S. at the same cost of production.
The same manufacturing cost means that the quality of the car is almost the same, and the gap between the world's major automobile groups is not large, and even if there are some slight differences in the vehicles manufactured at the same cost, there will be no significant difference.
Du Yuemei doesn't think that Americans are stupid, they don't just buy expensive things, quality is what they are pursuing, under the same quality, few stupid people will choose to buy things that are twice as expensive.
This time, the United States is preparing to drive the Bentley Group directly out of the American market, and this move is not poisonous. Even though 70% of the Bentley Group's current market is in Asia, the United States accounts for less than 15% of the Bentley Group's share.
However, the Bentley Group cannot just give up the American market, you must know that the United States is currently the largest automobile consumer market, and before the mainland developed, it was the center of the wrestling of the world's major automobile groups.
As an aspiring automobile group to become the world's top auto group, if it has no influence in the U.S. market, how can it afford the name of the world's top auto group.
Today, after receiving Gan Qin's phone call, she immediately expressed her willingness to attend this meeting, and she hoped that some of her ideas could be of some help to the Li Foundation.
Now she is resting at home, still with an annual salary of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a treatment that can not be enjoyed in any group, Du Yuemei is very grateful to Li Guangyu and the Li Foundation, and she sincerely hopes that the Li Foundation can develop better and better.
She responded: "Li Sheng, I'm not so serious now, and you and the financial group forgive me, so I can rest assured that I can be idle at home, many companies only take a vacation after seven or eight months of pregnancy, and I am still working normally every day at this stage." ”
Due to the fact that there are more things now, Li Guangyu did not have a polite relationship with Du Yuemei. Now it is time for everyone to give full play to their wisdom, and how the Lee Consortium will develop in 85 years needs to be set by these core personnel.
Eighty-five years is a relatively important year, this year in order to suppress Japan's export economy, the US government and some countries forced the yen to appreciate, and it was also this year that the value of the yen continued to rise, and Japan's real estate also plugged in the wings of take-off, and the Lee consortium's real estate group in Japan could enter the market in a big way.
Also in this year, there will be a new leader in the Soviet Union, Li Guangyu is most looking forward to his economic reforms in the future, Li Guangyu is absolutely going to enter that market in the future, even if it is just to resell materials, Hengyu Supermarket Group and Wheelock Shipping Company are enough to transport daily necessities to the territory of the Soviet Union.
Li Guangyu will not have some protagonists in his previous life, because they don't have much resources and strength, they can only choose smuggling.
He is different, the Lee Consortium is a very large comprehensive consortium, once the Soviet Union carries out economic reforms, the forces of the Lee Consortium will be able to intervene, and the Lee Consortium will be able to conduct fair trade with them, and then the Wheelock Shipping Company can arrive at the Soviet Far East Port with a full load of daily necessities to earn huge profits for the Lee Consortium.
Moreover, Li Guangyu has set his sights on some experts in the Soviet Union, and if he wants to compete with American companies in the future, he will not be able to do without enough talent, and the Soviet Union has quite a few talents.
Li Guangyu is not interested in military talents, and he also knows that these talents are closely watched by all forces, and there is no part for him at all, so he mainly looks for some talents in computer, Internet, and electronic specialties.
Although Li Guangyu knows that the pressure in this regard is also not small, for the development of the Li Foundation, he will not give up such an opportunity.
Li Guangyu said: "The United States gave me a very profound education this time, some of my previous practices are worth reflecting on, away from politics is not able to let our industrial development grasp the initiative, some of our previous practices need to be changed, in some countries and regions, I hope that some members of parliament can speak out for our interests, to ensure that our industry can have a fair development environment in the local area." ”
Listening to Li Guangyu's words, these high-level officials knew that the Lee Foundation's seven-year-long stay away from politics would be gone forever, and that in the future, the Lee Foundation would become more and more like the European and American conglomerates, supporting their own interests in various places for their own interests.
The happiest thing in this is Wang Hui, the strategy implemented by the Li consortium before made him not have much role in this position, but now it is different, the Li consortium does not choose to passively accept, but to take the initiative, he is the head of the think tank of the Li consortium in this regard, and his influence will rise rapidly, especially in many capitalist countries in the West, they are multi-party systems, and it is quite easy for the Li consortium to intervene.
