The first thousand one hundred and eighteen chapters shot again
Perhaps the Phoenix Group's press conference angered the U.S. government, or perhaps they felt that their authority as a super overlord had been challenged.
On the morning of the 14th, Los Angeles time, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Commerce held a press conference to conduct an anti-dumping investigation into Phoenix Computer, Phoenix S1 operating system, and Oriental Semiconductor Group chips. The results will be announced within a week.
At present, the main business of Oriental Semiconductor Group, in addition to the Lee Consortium, is the US market. Once the U.S. government increases dumping duties on Oriental Semiconductor and increases tariffs on Oriental Semiconductor Group's products, the impact on Oriental Semiconductor Group's performance will be considerable.
The current goal of the American consortium is very clear, which is to squeeze out the high-tech industries under the Lee Consortium from the American market, especially those related to computers and the Internet.
The Lee Consortium's weapon that has been invincible in competition over the years is price. The cost of the same quality products of the Lee Consortium is much lower than that of domestic companies in the United States. This also gives the Lee Consortium the confidence to compete with American companies, and they can be eliminated on price.
A large number of opponents.
And what makes the American consortium most unhappy is that the Li Consortium basically chose Xiangjiang for listing, and they still hold most of the shares in their hands, which makes it impossible for them to get dividends from the Li Consortium. They naturally hope to suppress the Li Consortium.
Go down.
You must know that the main business of these consortiums in the United States is finance, and the wolves of Wall Street are their spokespersons. They control the shares of many large companies in the United States. Even if the Lee Consortium does not give away profits, they still have to fight with the companies they control in the United States.
These companies compete for the market, which makes them uncomfortable and creates some trouble for the Li Group.
Now their main rival is still in Japan. Japanese consortiums are now very powerful. Among the top ten groups in the world by market value, Japan has seven, the United States has only three, and other countries and regions have none.
And based on Japan's current development momentum, it is estimated that the number of companies in the top ten in market value will increase, such as Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Toyota Motor Group, Daiichi Kanye Bank, Industrial Bank of Japan, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Japan
Fuji Bank, these seven companies rank among the top seven in the world, suppressing the United States' IBM, Exxon Mobil, and General Electric.
And ranked 11th is the United Bank of Japan, which is likely to suppress General Electric this year.
Therefore, although Li Guangyu is now gaining momentum and dancing more happily, Japan and the United States both regard each other as their main rivals. It is enough for the Li Group to suppress them a little. After solving the other side, they will slowly deal with the Li Group.
consortium.
On the morning of the 15th, Hong Kong time, Li Guangyu listened to He Jin’s report on the situation in the United States in his office.
Li Guangyu knew that selling at low prices to seize the market would not work. If the Phoenix Group continued to do this, the U.S. government would definitely launch anti-dumping measures against the Phoenix Group.
This time the U.S. government is obviously forcing the Phoenix Group to raise prices, causing the Phoenix operating system to lose its price advantage and better protect Microsoft's domestic market.
Li Guangyu said: "Since you can't sell at a low price, you will adjust the price to a position similar to that of Microsoft. The extra profits will enhance publicity in the United States and rebates on terminal sales. It will also help us increase the profit margin on terminal sales.
Their sales pitch for our system."
He Jin is also unwilling to send money to the U.S. government. Now that the U.S. wants to take action on their prices, they can only raise sales prices. At the same time, the Ministry of Legal Affairs also needs to file a lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Anyway, according to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the Phoenix Group is not capable of dumping on the United States. Their costs here are relatively low. In the United States, it is not because their prices are too low, but because Microsoft’s
The price is too high, and the other party obviously doesn't want to lower the price, which creates this situation.
And it's not just that Microsoft doesn't want to drop prices. It's estimated that the consortium behind them also doesn't want the operating system to be sold at a cabbage price. As capitalists, they naturally hope that the profits will be as high as possible.
He Jin responded: "Li Sheng, I'm afraid that if we suddenly raise prices, consumers in the United States will be dissatisfied, which will have some negative impact on our group."
Of course Li Guangyu is aware of this situation, but he already has a countermeasure. The reason for this price increase can be blamed on Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Commerce. They believe that Phoenix Group’s prices are too low and have a negative impact on the development of the U.S. economy.
Without obstacles, the increase in shopping costs for the American people can only be blamed on the US government and Microsoft.
Li Guangyu said: "The main reason for the media to promote this aspect is the U.S. government and Microsoft. In addition, you put the market focus on Greater China, the Commonwealth, Western Europe, Japan and South Korea. Although the mainland has such demand
It’s still very small and the market is not big, but you have to pay attention, this is the largest market in the future.”
As a non-U.S. high-tech company, it is very difficult to occupy the U.S. market. Unless the company is willing to become a vassal of the U.S. consortium, otherwise it will not try to grab food in the U.S. market. The other party will try their best to drive you out of the U.S. market.
.
In the future, the main markets of the Lee Consortium will only be Greater China, Southeast Asia, the Commonwealth market, the Eastern European market, and the Japanese and Korean markets. It is hard to say, and the consortiums of these two countries are not fuel-efficient.
He Jin naturally knows the importance and potential of the mainland market. As long as Phoenix Group can firmly occupy the mainland market, he is not afraid of competing with Microsoft. Although it may take a long time for the mainland to do so, she has the patience to wait. Now
Just focus on Western Europe, Japan and South Korea.
He Jin responded: "I will go to Beijing in the name of the group in the near future to negotiate with the Mainland Department of Industry and Information Technology. I hope that the Mainland government can all use our operating system. We can give some discounts in terms of price, and we can commit funds.
The settlement will be in RMB, and we will not convert foreign exchange within 10 years."
He Jin is not afraid of buying everything in RMB. She is planning to launch a large-scale Phoenix directly-operated store in the mainland, which now mainly sells computers and mobile phones.
The cooperation between Xiangjiang Communications Group and the mainland has been negotiated. Guangdong Province will realize mobile communication integration with Xiangjiang and Lisboa, which gives Phoenix Group the opportunity to enter the mainland.
Although the mainland's reform and opening up is still in its early stages, eight years have passed since the self-employed were allowed to exist in the 1980s. During these eight years, many self-employed people still have good savings, not to mention other things, ranging from hundreds of thousands to a year.
Many cars are purchased privately, and a mobile phone worth more than 20,000 yuan must be affordable for some people.
And as time goes by, many of Phoenix Group's production companies will be located in the mainland in the future, and construction in this area will also require a lot of funds. She is not afraid of high RMB, as long as her products can be imported.
He Jin believes that this negotiation should be very pleasant. The quality of his Phoenix operating system is no worse than that of Microsoft. Compared with American companies, the mainland government is definitely more willing to choose Xiangjiang's products.
Li Guangyu said: "You can make the decision yourself in this regard. In addition, He Qian is coming back. You should take good care of her then and focus on making her responsible for the software company's business."
He Jin has long known that the software company will become independent in the future, so she is not too surprised. In the future, Phoenix Group will mainly focus on hardware.
