Li Guangyu did not discuss too many investment issues with the senior officials of Guocheng. At present, the cities in the mainland that are open to the outside world are mainly concentrated in the coastal areas. I am afraid that the mainland will not be fully opened to the outside world until 1992. At that time, some industries of the Li Group will begin to open up to the outside world.

On January 10th, Li Guangyu's special plane returned to Kai Tak Airport. In the past few days, Li Guangyu was also very tired because he had to deal with Wu Wen's funeral affairs, so he did not go to Wheelock Building. Secondly, he would meet his family
Have a good rest for two days.
Today is Saturday, and Li Guangyu plans to start handling industry affairs on Monday.
In the Wheelock Building, several senior executives of the Lee Group were holding a meeting to discuss the news that Gan Qinglin had returned from Austria.
Since he obtained Li Guangyu's permission to barter, Gan Qinglin quickly contacted some Hungarian traders after returning, and was very welcomed by some Hungarian traders.
At present, Hungary has a surplus of some domestic products, and does not have enough foreign exchange to purchase many urgently needed products. In addition, the government is severely short of foreign debt. They want to do a lot of trade but cannot do it.
But now Donghua Trading Company is different. Their products are mutually traded, and there is no need for foreign exchange settlement at all. They sell domestic products and at the same time purchase some products needed domestically, which promotes domestic economic circulation and development.
Some factories can also start operations and continue production, which is a situation they very much hope to see.
Now we need to coordinate products for Donghua Trading Company. As the director of the Domestic Trade Office, Li Xuelan is naturally presiding over this meeting.
The products this time mainly involve home appliances, clothing, and some department store daily necessities, so the meeting was attended by Fujiwara Huiyin, Zhou Zhigang, Zhou Long, Chen Linwen, He Xingzhen, as well as the heads of Pengyu Group and Meiqi Clothing Group in Hong Kong.
Li Xuelan said at the meeting: "You have also seen the order needed this time. I hope you can prepare it as soon as possible and it will be shipped to Hungary by the Wheelock Shipping Company fleet."
Those present have no objections. Anyway, Donghua Trading Company has to settle the settlement for them. As for the sales of some products purchased by Donghua Trading Company in Hungary, this depends on Donghua Trading Company itself.
Donghua Trading Company is now quite an anomaly in the Li Group. The leaders of these groups also regard him as their customer, but the price of the products sold to Donghua Trading Company is slightly lower than that sold to other channel dealers.
The things Gan Qinglin bartered back from Hungary this time were not of great interest to them, and there was nothing they needed for the time being.
Originally, Hungarian agricultural products were pretty good, but the main trading partner there was the Soviet Union. In recent years, some countries led by the United States imposed a grain embargo on the Soviet Union, which also caused the Soviet Union to mainly purchase from Hungary.
As oil prices continue to be weak, Hungary still has a lot to gain from its allies. This time, Hungary mainly traded with Gan Qinglin for resource-based items including oil.
Among them, naphtha is the top priority. This time Donghua Trading Company has found a good customer for it, which is China Gas. Naphtha is the main raw material of China Gas.
This time, the barter industry chain was very broad. First, Li's major groups sold their products to Donghua Trading Company. Donghua Trading Company negotiated with Hungarian Trading Company, and then purchased naphtha from allied countries.
to conclude this transaction.
Hungary has relatively few domestic resources, so some products need to be purchased from allied countries.
Since the Lee Consortium does not have much operations in Eastern Europe, it currently mainly opens up trade with the Warsaw Pact member states through Hungary.
By slowly establishing contact with these countries in this way, and with the promotion of economic reforms in the Soviet Union, the executives of the Lee Group believe that they will be able to quickly occupy the Eastern European market when the opportunity comes.
What currently makes them most uncomfortable is the Batumi embargo, which prevents products needed by some Eastern European countries from being sold, such as products from Oriental Semiconductor Group.
Zhou Zhigang said: "Ms. Li, if possible, I hope Feiyu Group can build 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 attracting Chinese
Traders in Eastern European countries sell our products into the Eastern European market through them."
Zhou Zhigang hopes to take the initiative into his own hands. Donghua Trading Company will not agree. They now hope to develop by monopolizing the Li Group and Eastern European trade. If all the major groups go on their own, their trading company will not agree.
What's the point?
He Xingzhen immediately said: "Zhou Sheng, the current focus of Feiyu Group is in Southeast Asia and Greater China, as well as Japan, the United States, and Western Europe. According to Li Sheng's instructions, our Donghua Trading Company is temporarily responsible for Eastern Europe, and the country
There is a severe shortage of foreign exchange, and business is completely different from other areas. You can’t just barter.”
Li Xuelan is very clear about the thoughts of the following people. Everyone hopes to take the initiative. Hengyu Supermarket Group even hopes to trade directly with trading companies in Eastern Europe over there to get rid of Donghua Trading Company.
In the final analysis, these problems are still issues of interests. All major groups are very clear that in the future, the salary and benefits of major groups will be linked to the group's profits. They themselves can directly participate in trade in Eastern Europe, in which case they will gain more profits.
It’s just that the current Eastern European market is obviously not suitable for major groups to fight alone. After all, the distribution system is still implemented there. The main import and export trade is controlled by the government. The transaction of a single product is not conducive to talking with the other party.
This is also the reason why Li Guangyu wants to establish a Donghua Trading Company. In view of the special conditions of the Eastern European market, Li Guangyu's barter transactions can promote the transaction volume between the Li Group and Eastern Europe and bring a lot of benefits to the Li Group.

Li Xuelan said: "Don't argue anymore. Gan Sheng is currently fully responsible for the affairs in Eastern Europe. As for trade issues, they are also Donghua Trading Company's problems. It is not the time for you to enter the Eastern European market. Only now can you consolidate the foundation of your own group."
The most important thing is that I believe you will have the opportunity to enter the Eastern European market in the future."
Zhou Zhigang has not given up on this. With many years of work experience in mainland China, he is still very optimistic about the establishment of a clothing trade city. He believes that establishing such trade cities in major provincial capitals will definitely make huge profits in the future, not to mention driving several groups.
With its development, the annual rent alone can increase the group's profits by a large margin.
He said again: "Ms. Li, the situation in Eastern Europe is special, so we can ignore it for the time being. I suggest building a clothing trade city in Taoyuan as a pilot. When the time is right, we can promote it in Southeast Asia and the mainland to strengthen our
With great influence, our group is willing to bear the construction costs in this area.”
Feiyu Group, as the first apparel group under the Li Consortium, crushes Nike in all aspects. Its net profit in 1986 exceeded one billion U.S. dollars. Currently, there are really few groups in the Li Consortium that can surpass them in profit.
of.
The reason for such high profits is mainly due to the store's independence, coupled with the bonus given to them by Xinghong Sports Group, which makes their sports series and sports and leisure series products very popular. Their group has enough financial resources to support the construction of a clothing trade city.
Li Xuelan was filled with emotion about this. Real estate is really attractive. She had originally planned to let Hengyu Supermarket Group enter the real estate industry and build Hengyu Shopping Center, acquiring the land and building it herself.
Zhou Zhigang's idea is similar to his own, except that he mainly serves clothing. This is not much different from Wheelock Plaza, except that the clothing trade city is more professional.
Li Xuelan said: "Zhou Sheng, this matter involves too much. It is not something I can decide. I will report to Li Sheng on today's issue and see what Li Sheng's opinion is on this."
