At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu's special plane arrived at Tokyo Haneda Airport. Qin Jiao personally led a motorcade to wait for Li Guangyu's arrival at the airport.
After Li Guangyu got off the plane, Qin Jiao stepped forward and said: "The heads of consortiums such as Li Sheng, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo, as well as the heads of first-class families such as Ito, Fujiwara, Sato, and Harada will come to our Regal Hotel for a banquet at 4 p.m.
Office, discuss cooperation matters with us.”
The Japanese consortium and family have long wanted to win over the Lee Consortium to join them in fighting against the American consortium. However, there were no major interest disputes between the Lee Consortium and the American consortium before, so they have been unable to do so.
This time the American consortium aimed its butcher knife at the Lee Consortium, finally allowing the Japanese consortium to find an opportunity. The Japanese consortium has never lacked fighting spirit in the past ten years and has never bowed to the American consortium.
They have never been afraid of U.S. companies using the government to suppress them. Starting from the textile industry in the 1960s, until now, the U.S. government has never stopped targeting them, whether it was the steel industry in the early 1970s, or the automobile industry later.
In the electronics industry, they can handle it with ease.
The Cold War is still going on, and the United States has spent a lot of financial resources on the military, hoping to use its strong domestic financial strength to bring down the Soviet Union. This has led to their technological development being surpassed by Japan and Western Europe and West Germany in many places.
The Japanese consortium knows very well that now is the best time for them to defeat the American consortium. Once the Soviet Union suffers a heavy blow and the United States withdraws from there, it will be difficult for them to have such an opportunity again.
Now they are in a stalemate with the American consortium in the US market. It is very difficult to decide the winner immediately, and the Li's consortium is a powerful force for them. Once the Li's consortium joins their camp, it can share a lot of burdens for them.
pressure.
You must know that Xinghong Sports Group, a subsidiary of the Li Group, has a very huge influence in the United States. Among them, four teams in the United States cover the four major American sports leagues, and three of them have won the league championship. These teams
fans all over the United States.
The reason why Jaguar, a subsidiary of the Bentley Group, has been able to maintain its market share in the competition with the American Automobile Group is that it relies on the super influence of the Star Sports Group.
The public opinion in the United States is very heated now, especially regarding the issue of arcade games. The two parties are arguing very fiercely. The United States has seriously underestimated the influence of the Lee Group there.
Several major Japanese consortiums and these families hope to use the platform and influence of Star Hong Sports Group, a subsidiary of the Lee Consortium, to suppress their competitors in the United States.
At the same time, they also hope to tie the Li Consortium firmly to their chariot, so that the Li Consortium can advance and retreat with them.
Li Guangyu didn't delay at the airport, chatted with Qin Jiao for a few words, and rushed to the Regal Hotel.
Since Li Guangyu is not familiar with many of the family leaders attending today, Qin Jiao will accompany him to this banquet.
When Li Guangyu arrived at the Regal Hotel, it was already two forty. Li Guangyu ordered his entourage to go to the hotel room to rest, while he himself greeted the arrival of these helmsmen at the entrance of the lobby.
None of the people present today have low status, and the last one is the helmsman of Japan's first-class family. All the powerful people from various forces are present today, and no family is only represented by core members or heirs, which gives Li Guangyu a lot of face.
As time slowly passed, major Japanese forces came here one after another. Qin Jiao, who was unknown to Li Guangyu, introduced him. With the arrival of the four major families of Mitsui, Iwasaki, Sumitomo, and Yasuda, today's guests have all arrived.
The Mitsubishi Foundation of the Iwasaki family is second only to the Mitsui Foundation and has a very powerful influence in Japan and the world.
The Yasuda family is at the helm of the Fuji Consortium, the fourth largest conglomerate in Japan, and its influence cannot be underestimated. The Lee Consortium is still far away from them.
Before the reception started, Li Guangyu said: "Thank you very much for coming to this reception hosted by me. I am deeply honored by your presence. I wish you all a satisfactory harvest at this reception."
After a brief congratulation, Li Guangyu came to the seat next to Sumitomo Qiying and finished. Although this was a cocktail party, no one present was in the mood to drink and have fun. They came to discuss cooperation with Li Guangyu today. Everyone gathered around according to their own circumstances.
With the help of Mitsui and Iwasaki, the heads of several major families took over.
After sitting down, Li Guangyu said: "I am relatively young, and my experience is far different from that of those here. Whether it is Mr. Mitsui, Mr. Iwasaki, and everyone else, I want to learn from them with an open mind. This time I come here with sincerity."
Come, I hope to deepen cooperation with you so that our Eastern companies can gain a foothold in the world."
They did not take Li Guangyu's modest words seriously. The astonishing development speed of the Li Group shocked countless people. If the American group had not put pressure on them, they would have tried to suppress the development of the Li Group.
These consortiums all have a history of struggle for hundreds of years to achieve their current glory, but as for the Li Consortium, it has only been less than forty years since his grandfather established the clothing factory.
After Li Guangyu took over, in just seven years, the assets of the Li Group increased tens of thousands of times. This did not mean that one dollar became 10,000 yuan. The assets of the Li Group increased from 100 million Hong Kong dollars to one trillion Hong Kong dollars.
What a scary thing.
This is only a short period of seven years. Now it is difficult to imagine how big the Li Group will be in five years, ten years, or even twenty years. It will be possible for the Li Group to surpass them at that time.
The development is really amazing.
The only thing that reassures them is that the Li Consortium has huge flaws. The Li Consortium located in Xiangjiang is like a rootless duckweed. It is much easier to deal with the Li Consortium than the American consortium.
In order to deal with the great enemy of the American consortium, they do not mind cooperating with the Li Consortium, and are not worried about the continued growth of the Li Consortium. As long as they defeat the American consortium, they are confident that they can easily get rid of the Li Consortium.
Mitsui Haoze said: "Mr. Li, you are too humble. If our Mitsui family heirs were half as capable as you, I would be able to retire with peace of mind. Our Mitsui family has maintained a close relationship with you since you first arrived in Tokyo in 1979."
Goodwill, our cooperation has been deepening over the years, our Mitsui family has always regarded you as a good friend, and we are willing to deepen cooperation in all aspects with your industries."
The Mitsui Consortium currently cooperates with the Lee Consortium in Japan Mobile Communications and the Marandu Iron Ore Development Company. At the same time, the Xingyue Group and the Xiangjiang Consortium have cooperation with several major real estate groups in Japan and the Mitsui Consortium.
Although the relationship between the Mitsui Foundation and the Lee Foundation is not as close as that of the Sumitomo Foundation, relatively speaking, the relationship between the two parties is not bad.
Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Mitsui is so complimentary. I believe that the Mitsui Consortium has countless family elites, such as Mr. Mitsui Mingyi, who is very capable. Our Li Family Consortium is also willing to continue to deepen cooperation between the two parties. The current mobile communications
And iron ore is just one of them. In the future, energy, Internet, retail, finance, and infrastructure investment will be the focus of our cooperation."
The Mitsui Foundation owns Japan's largest trading company and has strong sales capabilities, while the Lee Foundation owns the world's top retail supermarkets. The cooperation between the two parties can complement each other very well.
