Li Guangyu also knows that there are many oil resources in the Warsaw Pact member states, but now it is not possible to build them immediately if they want to.
Li Guangyu plans to enter the oil industry only after this year's stock market crash. At present, the trade between the Li Group and Eastern Europe is mainly based on commodities, with mineral resources temporarily taking a back seat.
After he and his allies have established these industries, they will then seek mineral deals.
Li Guangyu said: "The situation in Eastern Europe is changing rapidly. You have to pay more attention to the changes there, seize the opportunity, and strive to let our products enter the market of more Eastern European countries. At the same time, pay attention to the trends of the American consortium, Western European consortium, and Japanese consortium.
They certainly won't remain indifferent, and it's best to know their specific plans."
Now the Eastern European market is extremely attractive to all parties. The Western European consortium has long been ready to make a move, and the American consortium is even more aggressive. The Japanese consortium will not give up the Eastern European market for a broader market and resources. Now they are starting to
He wanted to try to enter the Eastern European market, but he did not believe that these forces had not made any moves.
"Li Sheng, Kirishenko has been paying attention to this aspect. Whether it is Hungary, Poland, or even some politicians in Yugoslavia and other countries, there are unknown forces supporting them. However, they have not made much action on trade, nor have they
I don’t know what these forces are planning.”
Ganqing Forestry received some reports from Kirishenko. There are many forces providing financial assistance to some parties and factions within the ruling party in Hungary, especially some new parties that have emerged in the past two years.
Freedom and democracy are the slogans, and economic liberalization reforms are required.
If there were no Western Europe and American forces behind this, Gan Qinglin would not believe it.
Li Guangyu doesn't care what the other party's intentions are. Anyway, he is more engaged in business operations and will not care about politics, as long as it does not affect his interests.
The goals of the Lee Consortium are different from those of the Western European and American consortiums. They hope to get these countries to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact and join NATO. These have more political purposes.
Moreover, Eastern European countries are obviously more wary of Western consortiums than he is. There is no political power behind the Li Consortium, and their influence on them will not be as great as that of Western consortiums.
Li Guangyu thought for a while and said: "At present, your main thing is to strengthen the contact with the leaders of the internal trading companies of the Warsaw Pact member countries. Through them, we can first enter the markets of these countries. We can even barter with them. Only
If there is enough interest, it can be traded. As for Kirishenko, Wang Hui will arrange his work."
Li Guangyu is not afraid of bartering. As long as it is profitable, he can sell some products and even resources from Eastern Europe. Now if he wants to open up the Eastern European market, he must dare to think and act, although the Li Group has never done anything before.
It was a barter business, but he believed that Gan Qinglin could do a good job in this aspect of trade.
For countries like Hungary that do not want to increase their foreign debt, partners like Li Guangyu are the most welcome to them. Since there are a large number of domestic products in surplus, it is better to exchange them for the materials they need at a low price from the Li Group to improve domestic supply and demand.
Gan Qinglin naturally has no objection to such a transaction. He does not need to worry too much about the price. Someone from the Li Group will help him do it well. His most important job is to negotiate with senior officials or companies in some Eastern European countries, including Hungary, to make
The products of the Li Group are put in, and then replaced with some of its domestic products.
Gan Qinglin suggested: "Li Sheng, I think we should set up a company specializing in trade, just like the trading companies in Japan and South Korea, mainly responsible for this aspect of trade issues."
Li Guangyu did not immediately agree with Gan Qinglin's opinion. The scope of power of trading companies in Japan and South Korea is too large. The product trade of the consortium is basically managed by the trading companies, which is also equivalent to an information collection center. The trading companies are also responsible for investment and development. If it is really established like this
A company with dozens of groups under it will be immediately suppressed by this trading company, and the autonomy of each major group will be much less.
Li Guangyu doesn't care what Gan Qinglin thinks, he will not create such a monster. A trading company can be established, but this company cannot govern the trade affairs of the major groups under the Li Group.
This company was more used by Li Guangyu in the Eastern European market in recent years. In these years, he served as a happy second-hand dealer, transporting light industrial products to Eastern Europe, and then transporting Eastern European products and resources to other regions for sale. Trading company
Earn some hard money from it.
Li Guangyu said: "Qinglin, the Japanese trading company model is not suitable for our development. At present, our major groups have their own complete sales channels, and they are more professional. And our Hengyu Supermarket Group has a certain level of
It can replace some of the functions of Japanese trading companies, so we don't need to set up a company or group like that to manage the affairs of the Lee Foundation.
Regardless of your proposal to set up a trading company, I agree. For a long time to come, we will have to get used to barter transactions. Without a professional company to manage it, it will not be conducive to our development.
This company is headquartered in Xiangjiang. You will temporarily serve as the company’s president, and I will inject one billion U.S. dollars into the company for its development.”
Gan Qinglin couldn't say he was disappointed. When he made the proposal, he was prepared to be rejected. The impact of establishing such a company would be too great. Even if Li Guangyu agreed, he would be opposed by many executives and the vast majority of presidents. They
I don’t want to have a mother-in-law on my head.
At present, the only one in the aloof position of Li's consortium is Tianyu Financial Group. This group will not interfere in the affairs and development of any group. The major groups do not care about this. Once a trading company with the nature of a trading company is established, it will completely touch the hearts of all
They will never agree to the interests of large groups.
However, what makes Gan Qinglin happy is that he still has a lot of gains. Although he cannot control the trade of major groups, Li Guangyu agreed to the establishment of the trading company and let him serve as the president of the company. At least in the future, he will be able to trade in Eastern Europe.
Have a greater say.
Gan Qinglin said: "Li Sheng, I agree with placing the headquarters of the trading company in Xiangjiang. Our company cannot only do Eastern European trade. We can also develop business in the mainland. I hope you can arrange a more capable executive for the company."
Vice President, let him take charge of the company's headquarters affairs and do a good job in the company's development in the mainland."
Li Guangyu thought for a while and then said to him: "The company is named Donghua Trading Company. I have transferred He Xingzhen, the executive vice president of Xiangyu Culture Group, to serve as the company's executive vice president, and I have transferred Zhang Qifen, Xiao Weihua, Zheng Junzhe, and Zhu Lixia to serve as vice presidents."
Gan Qinglin did not expect that Li Guangyu would attach such great importance to this trading company. The people transferred to him were all elites from the Li Group, especially Zhang Qifen, who was in charge of the procurement affairs of the Hengyu Supermarket Group and had a very high status in the Hengyu Supermarket Group.
The others are no less generous. Except for Zhu Lixia, all the others are vice presidents of major groups. Zhu Lixia is obviously responsible for the company's administrative and financial affairs.
