After visiting the mainland on the 14th of this month, this person did not come to Xiangjiang until yesterday. Tonight, he invited Xiangjiang's business elite to attend this banquet.
The current internal economic situation in France is similar to that in England. Domestic inflation and unemployment are high. This time George Marshall came to Asia, especially to the mainland, hoping to increase cooperation with the mainland and find new markets for the development of French domestic enterprises.
, improve the current domestic economic development situation.
This time George Marshall passed by Xiangjiang and met with people from the Xiangjiang business community. He also hoped to reach some cooperation with the Xiangjiang business community and invited the Xiangjiang business people to visit France, invest and start businesses in France, and improve France's current economic situation.
Regarding the situation in Xiangjiang, George Marshall read a lot of information here before coming to Asia.
Although Xiangjiang is small in area, the strength of the business community here is not weak at all, and the situation here is also particularly complicated.
But even in such a complicated environment, these business elites in Xiangjiang were able to achieve such great achievements. Especially these Chinese-funded families in Xiangjiang faced the suppression of the British-funded consortium in Xiangjiang, and finally defeated the British-funded consortium.
, he admired the heads of these Chinese-owned families very much.
And he also learned that his own domestic companies have also hit a snag here. Carrefour is booming in Western Europe and came to develop the Asian market, but it suffered a tragic failure. More than a year has passed and it still has not achieved anything.
Too much progress.
Carrefour's opponent is Li Guangyu, the current uncrowned king of the business community in Hong Kong and the leader of the Chinese-owned family in Hong Kong.
Whether in Japan or Taiwan, whether in Singapore or Thailand, Carrefour is facing pressure from Hengyu Supermarket Group, a subsidiary of the Lee Consortium. What makes Carrefour even more sad is that the Lee Consortium and local retail giants have taken action against them.
.
Carrefour wanted to join forces with local supermarket forces to deal with Hengyu Supermarket Group, but unfortunately these local supermarket forces refused without any hesitation, which shows the influence of the Li Group in these areas.
The Li Group has continuously invested huge sums of money in England in recent years, which has also made the French government jealous. If these funds are invested in France, their economy will also be greatly improved.
Especially the market occupied by the Lee Consortium in Asia. If you look at the current development trend of the Bentley Group, you will know that in the past, the Bentley Group was only slightly better than Jaguar. It still had a good market in North America, while other brands did not have much popularity in Asia.
But now, many families in Baodao, Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia no longer buy Rolls-Royce, but choose Bentley. The upper class elites also choose to buy Jaguar. Kirin Motors, a subsidiary of Bentley Group, has joint ventures in Asia and many regions to expand its business.
market for their group.
During this visit to the mainland, George Marshall also inspected the FAW manufacturing plant, and the FAW Kirin Automobile Company, a joint venture between FAW and the Bentley Group, was naturally within the scope of his inspection.
Although the cars produced by this company are currently basically provided to the government, their company's profits are still relatively small.
But George Marshall saw the future potential of this company. Mainland China has a population of more than one billion. He also inspected the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone and saw with his own eyes the development speed of Pengcheng.
As long as the mainland continues to reform and open up, the mainland will be the largest market in the world in the future. The demand for cars is absolutely terrifying, and the Bentley Group has entered the market early, which will give them an advantage over other automobile groups in the future.
George Marshall also went to Shanghai, where he also visited the SAIC Volkswagen Manufacturing Company currently under construction, which gave him a sense of urgency in his heart.
Both the Bentley Group of the Li Group and Volkswagen of the Federal Republic of Germany have already entered the mainland market, but their own country's automobile groups have not yet paid attention to the development of the mainland. How can they compete with the British and Federal German automobile groups in the mainland market in the future?
.
He had already decided that after returning to Paris, he would communicate with Mitterrand what he had learned over the past few days, so that he would pay more attention to the development of the mainland and let more domestic companies focus on the mainland.
Especially automobile groups, whether it is the British Bentley Group or the Federal Republic of Germany's Volkswagen Group, as well as the American Chrysler Group and Japan's Toyota Motor Group, they have established joint venture automobile companies with mainland China. Currently, these companies are either in production or under construction.
France is already far behind in this regard.
When the Western European and North American markets began to slump, the Asian market was full of vitality. Japan was already the second largest economy after the United States. The economic growth rates of South Korea, Hong Kong, Hong Kong and Singapore have exceeded 10 in recent years, so
They are known as the Four Asian Tigers.
The main markets here are currently occupied by local chaebols. It is difficult for these European and American groups to compete with them. What is more surprising to George Marshall is that the consortiums in these regions have begun to cooperate to attack European and American groups.
Consortiums came to Asia to seize the market with them.
Among them, the Xiangjiang Li Group is the most powerful, and they have allies in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Japan's six major consortiums are currently focusing their attention on the U.S. market, competing with the top ten U.S. consortiums, and are also cooperating more with the Lee Consortium in Asia.
Therefore, in Asia, the Lee Consortium currently has no rivals. The Hong Kong British-funded consortium was beaten back and forth, and the Singapore consortium finally chose to cooperate with the Lee Consortium.
The Malaysian Chinese consortium is an ally of the Lee consortium, and a local family that provoked the Lee consortium has disappeared.
The son of Chen Bichen, the leader of the Thai Chinese family, is currently a peripheral interest group of the Lee Group. At the same time, the Lee Group also has quite good relations with the Thai royal family and the Qiu family, a political family.
George Marshall feels horrified every time he thinks about the network of relationships compiled by the Lee Consortium in these areas. Whether it is a group in Western Europe that wants to come over to develop, or an American consortium that wants to come over to occupy the market in these areas, they all need to face the Li Consortium.
consortium.
The Li Consortium obviously cannot be regarded as a single entity now. There are countless consortiums following behind it, especially the six major Japanese consortiums. Don't look at them staring at the American consortium. If the Western European consortium comes to occupy the market here, they will
There will definitely be sniping.
Once these consortiums and families unite, it will be very difficult for both Western European consortiums and American consortiums to deal with this force, such as in the supermarket field.
This time, not only Carrefour in their country was hit, but Wal-Mart in the United States also did not benefit.
Wal-Mart saw that Carrefour was being attacked one after another in Japan and Baodao, so they skipped these two markets and chose to open up the market in South Korea. Unfortunately, they also did not get the benefits and were joined by Hengyu Supermarket Group and South Korea's Lotte Supermarket Group.
