In the second conference hall of Wheelock Building, even though today is Sunday, except for those with very rare reasons, all the people in the high-rise buildings above the 12th level in Xiangjiang have arrived here. Even Peng Xiaoli, who is pregnant and recuperating at home, is also present today.
this meeting.
This is an extremely important meeting for the Lee Group. The situation in Asia has undergone earth-shaking changes starting from today.
In the past, the American consortium's approach was straightforward, which was to suppress all Asian consortiums. It didn't matter how many Asian consortiums there were, or whether these consortiums joined forces.
But things are starting to change now. From this action of the US government, we can see that the US consortium has already been in contact with some forces, and these forces are definitely not the number one force in the region.
They use these forces to provoke internal struggles, and they suppress the first force externally, so that the forces that challenge them have no time to worry about anything else.
The Lee Consortium will not only face pressure from the American consortium. Some consortiums from South Korea and Japan will also become the main rivals to compete with the Lee Consortium. These two parties will even become the vanguard, with the American consortium watching from behind.
good.
Such a situation can certainly be seen by the internal capital of Japan and South Korea, but they still accept the solicitation of American consortiums. The most important thing is that they also want to become the boss of their own countries.
But if the current situation continues to develop, they have no chance at all. Whether it is Mitsubishi, Fuji, or even Sanwa and other consortiums, they will always have to succumb to the Mitsui Consortium.
The same is true in South Korea. Whether it is Lotte, Daewoo, Hanjin and other groups, they can only succumb to Hyundai and Samsung.
Once they have the support of the American consortium, they will have enough strength to challenge the country's number one force and change the current situation.
In the current situation, Li Guangyu not only has to face the suppression of the American consortium on his own, but also strengthens cooperation and alliance with Mitsui, Sumitomo, Hyundai, Samsung and other forces to let them contain their domestic forces, so as to avoid Li Guangyu
The consortium is under attack from both sides.
After Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing sat down, Gan Qin informed the senior officials present about the U.S. government's targeting of Li's consortium companies.
In fact, the senior executives present here are basically aware of these situations, but procedures in this regard are still needed to give senior executives who are not particularly familiar with this aspect a clear understanding.
After Gan Qin finished speaking, Li Guangyu spoke up: "The U.S. government began targeting our products a few years ago, from the first cars to later clothing, to mobile phones, software, home appliances, etc., these are what we
We have become accustomed to it, and these major groups have already figured out a way to deal with it.
The focus of our meeting today is not this. What we want to discuss today is our relationship with families and consortiums in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places.
This time the United States has changed its previous idea of suppressing the entire Asian capital on its own, and adopted the strategy of co-opting and dividing, allowing our Asian capital to compete and internally consume itself. We now need to be more mentally prepared."
The senior executives present also understand the grudges and entanglements between the major financial groups in Asia, especially the relationship between the Japanese financial group, the Korean financial group and the Lee Group. If they can eliminate each other, they will never show mercy.
It is only because of the existence of such a behemoth as the American consortium that several parties have been able to join forces with each other in recent years.
But now that the United States is doing this, Asian capital is no longer united. When facing competition from American consortiums, it has to build a wall behind it at any time to prevent other Asian forces from stabbing it in the back. This has greatly weakened the Asian capital.
The strength of large conglomerates in competition with American conglomerates.
Cao Weiqing said aloud: "Everyone understands the situation between us and the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium. Whether it is based on history or for our own interests, we cannot be allies for a long time. Our three parties are highly consistent in many industries. For the sake of the market
The battle is bound to lead to confrontation.
At this time, we need to carefully sort out the relationship between us and various forces. Cooperation and competition will be the normal state of our internal capital with Japan and South Korea.
Our major companies must firmly consolidate our markets in Greater China and Southeast Asia, which are the foundation of our Lee industry, and we must not allow products from the same industry to dominate these two markets."
Subsequently, Du Yuemei, Li Xuelan, Yuan Tianfan, Chen Dong, Gan Qin and others spoke one after another.
The centerpiece is to increase vigilance against the major forces in Asia, stabilize the Lee Group's own fundamentals, and increase the development of the mainland market, the Commonwealth, Eastern Europe and other markets.
Continue to improve its own industrial chain to prevent its products from being choked by other forces. At the same time, it improves the research and development of the technology industry and gains advantages in technology, making it difficult for all parties to suppress it.
At the same time, Zhang Ziyu was asked to contact the British government and propose that the British government take countermeasures. After all, the Bentley Group is a British enterprise, and the British government also has the responsibility to safeguard the interests of the Bentley Group.
Xiangjiang will also advance simultaneously, as will Treasure Island and Australia.
No matter how useful it is in this regard, at least the Lee Group must show its attitude.
This is the embarrassment of the Li Consortium. If Li Guangyu could rely on the American market and the government like the American consortium, the U.S. government would not dare to operate in this way this time.
Look at the amazing operations against Japan and South Korea this time. Although the sanctions on some companies this time are also very severe, some consortiums have no impact. Instead, they have gained a lot of benefits and some of their restrictions have been lifted.
In addition, the United States has troops stationed in these two places. As long as the capitals of these two countries are not pushed too hard, these governments will generally choose to surrender.
Now that the United States is just playing around, wooing some groups and suppressing others, these local capitals are fighting among themselves. With the pressure from the United States, these governments will naturally not introduce targeted countermeasures.
As a member of the Chinese nation, and with Xiangjiang as the foundation of its development, the Li Group is destined to face many ups and downs in the future, and capital from all parties is not willing to let the Li Group become bigger and stronger.
In recent years, it has been all thanks to the Japanese consortium to contain too much energy of the American consortium, which gave the Lee Consortium enough time to develop. Otherwise, the development of the Lee Consortium would have been even more bumpy.
But from now on, the American consortium no longer regards the Japanese consortium as its first enemy, causing internal strife through division and wooing, but focuses on suppressing the Lee Consortium, making the Lee Consortium their important target.
The reason for the change of the American consortium was not only the inability to completely suppress all Japanese capital, but also the changing situation in Eastern Europe.
The attitude shown by Li Guangyu over the years has not been in line with the interests of their American consortium and even the US strategy. Suppressing the Li Consortium is the consensus reached by all consortiums in the United States. They do not want the Li Consortium to stand above them one day, let alone
I hope that after the Soviet Union, another big country will appear on an equal footing with them.
The economy of Greater China has developed very rapidly in recent years. Once the entire Greater China region is integrated, its huge consumer market and its huge development potential will make it a challenger to the United States.
The Li Group is doing just that, at least economically. Investment and trade between Greater China are now quite frequent, and the economy between them is very active.
