After Li Guangyu had lunch at He Zuozhi's house, he said goodbye to him and left.
At present, due to the sudden arrival of the United States, some of Li Guangyu's plans have been disrupted. Now he needs to rearrange the development plan of the consortium.
This time, it is not just Bentley's luxury cars and Phoenix mobile phones that are affected. Phoenix Computer, which is about to be built and produced, also suffered heavy losses.
Currently, the main market for computers is the United States. Li Guangyu believes that once Phoenix Computer shows good potential, the U.S. government will use the same method to target them.
Now it depends on the counterattack ability of the Lee Consortium and the game between major American consortiums. If the arms consortium behind Boeing and the California consortium that Li Guangyu will contact can help them this time, the development of the Lee Consortium in the United States will be
It's better, I won't be specifically targeted like this in the future.
If these two major consortiums are unwilling to take action, the Li Consortium will have more products in the future that will follow in the footsteps of Bentley Motors and Phoenix Mobile Phones.
After Li Guangyu sent Cao Weiqing home, he rushed to the Li's Building without stopping to discuss the next development issues with the senior management of the consortium.
This time it was an executive team meeting, and Gan Qin, as Li Guangyu’s assistant, attended with special privileges.
Due to the complex situation faced by the Li Group this time, Du Yuemei, who is five months pregnant, also came to the conference room this afternoon.
Currently, except for the executive officers in charge of each region and Cao Weiqing, all the executive officers in Xiangjiang and Gan Qin have arrived at the conference room on the top floor, waiting for Li Guangyu's arrival.
This is the first time in seven years that the products of the Li Group have been subject to a separate tariff increase by the local government. These senior officials have never faced and dealt with this experience. How should we solve this matter at this time and how can we try to avoid such things in the future?
occurrence, this is an issue they urgently need to discuss.
After arriving at the office, Li Guangyu said to Du Yuemei: "Yuemei, thank you for your hard work. Since you are based in England and know a lot about Western Europe, you are invited to attend today's meeting."
In the past few months, Du Yuemei has been raising her baby peacefully at home, and her parents have taken great care of her. This makes her happy but also very boring. She is not used to having nothing to do every day.
As the former president of Bentley Group, Du Yuemei is very clear about the implications of the 40% increase in tariffs on Bentley's major brands.
You must know that most of the current production bases of major luxury cars are in Western Europe. Jaguar has a production base in Baodao, but the top models are still in England.
Including freight and tariffs, Bentley Group cars are 80% or even 100% more expensive than domestic cars in the United States at the same production cost.
The same manufacturing cost means that the quality of the cars is similar. The gap between the world's major automobile groups is not large. Even if there are some minor differences between vehicles manufactured at the same cost, there will not be a huge difference.
Du Yuemei doesn't think Americans are fools. They don't just buy expensive ones. Quality is what they pursue. Given the same quality, few fools would choose to buy something twice as expensive.
This time the United States is preparing to drive the Bentley Group directly out of the U.S. market. This move is not without its poison. Even though 70% of the Bentley Group's current market is in Asia, the United States accounts for less than 15% of the Bentley Group's share.
But the Bentley Group cannot just give up on the U.S. market. You must know that the United States is currently the largest automobile consumer market. Before the development of the mainland, it was the center of competition among the world's major automobile groups.
As an automobile group that aspires to become the world's top automobile group, how can it assume the title of the world's top automobile group if it has little influence in the U.S. market?
After receiving a phone call from Gan Qin today, she immediately expressed her willingness to attend the meeting. She hoped that some of her ideas could be of some help to the Li Group.
Now she is resting at home and still earns an annual salary of 3 million Hong Kong dollars. This is a treatment that cannot be enjoyed by any group. Du Yuemei is very grateful to Li Guangyu and the Li Group. She sincerely hopes that the Li Group can develop better and better.
The better.
She responded: "Li Sheng, I'm not that serious now. Only you and the financial group can forgive me, so I can rest at home and relax. Many companies only take vacations when they are seven or eight months pregnant. At this stage of my life, every day
Still working normally."
Since there are many things going on now, Li Guangyu did not keep polite to Du Yuemei. Now it is time for everyone to give full play to their wisdom. How the Li Group will develop in 1985 needs core personnel like them to set the tone.
1985 was a relatively important year. In order to suppress Japan's export economy, the U.S. consortium asked the U.S. government to unite with some countries to force the yen to appreciate. Starting from this year, the value of the yen continued to rise, and Japanese real estate also stepped in.
With wings to take off, the Lee Group's real estate group in Japan can make big investments.
In the same year, a new leader of the Soviet Union will take office. What Li Guangyu is most looking forward to is the economic reforms he will implement in the future. In the future, Li Guangyu will definitely enter that market, even if it is just to resell supplies.
Hengyu Supermarket Group and Wheelock Shipping Company were sufficient to transport daily necessities to the Soviet Union.
Li Guangyu is not like some of the protagonists in his previous life. Since they did not have much resources and strength, they could only choose to smuggle.
He is different. The Lee Consortium is a very large comprehensive consortium. Once the Soviet Union carries out economic reforms, the power of the Lee Consortium will be able to get involved. The Lee Consortium will conduct fair and honest trade with them. At that time, Wheelock Shipping Company can
Loaded with daily necessities, it arrived at the Far East Port of the Soviet Union, earning huge profits for the Lee Group.
Moreover, Li Guangyu has his eye on some experts from the Soviet Union. If he wants to compete with American companies in the future, he will not be able to do so without enough talents, and the Soviet Union has a lot of talents.
Li Guangyu is not interested in military talents. He also knows that these talents are closely watched by all forces and have no place for him at all. He is mainly looking for talents in computers, the Internet, and electronics.
Although Li Guangyu knew that there was considerable pressure in this area, he would not give up such an opportunity for the sake of the development of the Li Group.
Li Guangyu said: "The education the United States gave me this time is very profound. Some of my previous practices are worthy of reflection. Staying away from politics will not allow us to take the initiative in industrial development. Some of our previous practices need to be changed. In some countries and
region, I hope some members of parliament can speak out for our interests and ensure that our industry can have a fair development environment in the local area."
Listening to Li Guangyu's words, these senior executives knew that the seven-year long separation from politics by the Li Group would be gone forever. In the future, the Li Group will become more and more like European and American groups, acting for their own benefit.
Each locality supports its own interest representatives.
The happiest person here is Wang Hui. The previous strategy implemented by the Li Group did not allow him to play a big role in this position, but it is different now. The Li Group no longer chooses to passively accept it, but wants to take the initiative. He
As the head of the think tank of the Lee Foundation, the influence will rise rapidly, especially in many Western capitalist countries, which have multi-party systems, and it is quite easy for the Lee Foundation to get involved.
