In the afternoon of the same day, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and others held talks with the Mayor of Vancouver, and the two sides communicated on further strengthening cooperation.
This time China Shipping Group will open up shipping business from Canada to Asia and build a cargo terminal at the Port of Vancouver.
Kangxin Medical Group will increase the construction of Kangxin Hospital in Vancouver, turning it into a large general hospital integrating scientific research, teaching and clinical practice.
This hospital will be a commercial profit-making hospital, and it will also be a reform of the Canadian federal government, which will effectively supplement the current Canadian medical industry. Currently, almost all Canadian hospitals are government-owned, and there are very few private hospitals.
At the same time, further communication was conducted on the development of Vancouver Mobile Communications Company. Currently, there are two major mobile communications companies in Canada. One is Vancouver Mobile Communications Company, which is a joint venture between Xiangjiang Communications Group and the Vancouver government.
The other one is Canada Mobile Communications Company, which is a partnership between the Canadian federal government and Motorola.
Currently, Vancouver Mobile Communications Company mainly occupies the central and western markets, while Canada Mobile Communications Company occupies the eastern Canadian market.
At the end of the meeting, the Mayor of Vancouver said: "Mr. Li, our city of Vancouver welcomes more of your companies to invest. I believe that both of us can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. As one of the Commonwealth countries, Canada is absolutely
It is impossible to help American companies suppress companies in Commonwealth countries."
How could Crent Hashim, the mayor of Vancouver, not understand the recent turmoil?
Regarding Canada's image in the outside world, which has always been regarded as the back garden of the United States, he is extremely uncomfortable inside.
He is very happy to see Asian capital encircle and suppress American capital this time. At the same time, he also hopes that Asian capital can teach American capital a lesson in their market.
Li Guangyu said: "Thank you very much and the Canadian federal government for being impartial in this matter. Our major retail groups have always adhered to the concept of serving Canadian citizens in the Canadian market, bringing them low-priced and high-quality products, and reducing their
consumption costs, improve their quality of life, and at the same time bring a large number of jobs to the local area."
What Li Guangyu is most worried about now is the intervention of the Canadian government. As long as they do not favor American companies, he is confident that several major American retail groups will withdraw from the Canadian market.
After today's meeting with the Mayor of Vancouver, Li Guangyu will fly directly to Ottawa to discuss a number of cooperation matters with the Canadian federal government.
Li Guangyu didn't bring so many senior executives here just for appearance. Everyone has their own tasks and has business to discuss in Canada.
Hashim, who maintains a relatively close relationship with the Li Group, knows very well that Li Guangyu's words are just deceiving the outside world. The reason why prices are so cheap during this period is just to squeeze the market of American retail groups.
Once several major American retail groups are kicked out of the Canadian market, prices will inevitably return to their original prices. Although they are not expensive, they are definitely not close to low prices.
These retail groups are ultimately for profit and are not charities. Now such prices have obviously affected the profits of these companies. Currently, these retail supermarkets in Canada are selling at low profits or even at breakeven.
Canadian citizens are very happy now. Unlike these retail companies who want to end the war as soon as possible, Canadian citizens are just the opposite. They hope that this situation will continue, so that their daily necessities consumption will be reduced a lot.
He did not go out and say that as a member of Canada's Conservative Party, especially in Vancouver, the support of the Lee Group is very much needed.
His predecessor has now moved up to the federal center to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he himself has also contributed a lot to the Lee Consortium.
In Vancouver, there are more than 50,000 people working for the companies under the Li Group. This is a very powerful force that indirectly affects hundreds of thousands of families. As long as he has the support of the Li Group, he will have the support of hundreds of thousands of votes.
.
Now on their Canadian side, the capital led by Toronto in the east is more inclined to the American consortium, while the capital headed by Vancouver in the west is closer to Asian capital, especially the capital of the Lee Group and its allies.
The current business center of Vancouver is Chinatown, a commercial, office and residential complex that was put into use at the end of 1986. It has become a major check-in place in Vancouver and is now also a residential area for Asians.
The current financial center of Vancouver is also the Tianyu Financial Center, which was put into use last summer. This is the CBD jointly built by the Lee Group and its allies. Now the headquarters of major companies under the Lee Group and the headquarters of many Asian companies in Canada are located here.
.
At the same time, there are also banks from the Greater China region such as Tianyu Bank, Hong Kong Bank, Bank of East Asia, Hong Kong Asian Commercial Bank, Sun Hung Kai Bank, Far East Bank, Hsinchu Bank, HSBC, Chengxin Bank, and Bank of China.
And here are the Canadian headquarters or the locations of the Western Canadian branches of banks from Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and other places.
This time they will build the first Wheelock Plaza in North America in Vancouver, which will bring new vitality to Vancouver's economy.
In addition, the Lee Group will also build the first Xiangyu Comics Theme Park in North America, providing a place to play for comic fans and children in Vancouver and even Western Canada, which will greatly promote Vancouver's tourism economy.
It can be said that the influence of the Lee Group in Vancouver has reached an extremely high level. Once all the industries of the Lee Group stop operating, Vancouver's economy will suffer a heavy blow and countless citizens will lose their jobs. The government will probably be angry.
The citizens vacated the stage.
The top leaders of the City of Vancouver are also aware of this situation, but their conservative party is now in power and is the main ally of the Lee Consortium here. They are very happy to strengthen the influence of the Lee Consortium in Vancouver, so that the City of Vancouver will become their conservative party.
One of the Party’s fundamentals.
The Lee Group here in England chose to cooperate with the Conservative Party over there. In Canada, he still chose the Conservative Party here in the country.
The current results are quite good. At least the interests of the Li Group in the country can be protected, and there will be no policies that deliberately embarrass the Li Group.
While Li Guangyu was talking to the Mayor of Vancouver, in Ottawa, the US Secretary of State was also talking to the Prime Minister of Canada and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The focus was to strengthen economic and military cooperation between the two sides, and discussions were held on tariffs and corporate preferential policies.
This aspect is particularly important. Currently, several of Lee's major retail groups are Commonwealth enterprises. These enterprises enjoy much better policies in Canada than their American retail counterparts. This time, the US Secretary of State came here hoping to change this situation.
Although the Commonwealth is loose, the British influence is still very large in Canada, Australia and other places. The governors of these two places are appointed by the Queen of England, who are usually members of the British royal family. At the same time, the Queen of England is also their nominal head of state.
In terms of economics, enterprises within the Commonwealth enjoy economic preferential treatment, which is impossible for US companies to enjoy. This increases the cost and difficulty for US companies and enterprises within the Commonwealth to compete in the Canadian market.
