Chapter 349 There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests
At 7:30 in the evening, Li Jianhui and Chen Xinyi walked into the party venue. In addition to representatives from all parties attending the two major league meetings tonight, there were also the heads of Hong Kong giants and their families.
As the host tonight, Li Jianhui delivered a speech before the party started.
"Thank you very much for attending today's party. Today there are business representatives from ASEAN, Hong Kong, Lisboa, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea.
We all present have black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and we have our own unique oriental culture.
Since the Industrial Revolution, we in the East have begun to lag behind the West. Some people even take this for granted, naturally thinking that the moon in the West is rounder than that in the East.
Some companies are even proud to be vassals of Western consortiums and are willing to become their puppets.
I feel very sad every time I think about this. In the thousands of years of human civilization history, our Eastern culture has been far ahead of the West for most of the time. I don't know why those people have inferiority complex.
I know that Western capital is powerful, but so what, although our strength is weak, we still have the courage to show our sword.
I admire Japanese companies in this regard. Since the 1950s, they have dared to compete with American companies for the market, from the textile industry to the steel industry, from the automobile industry to the electronics and semiconductor industry. Even though they have various natural shortcomings, they still dare to face the United States.
consortium.
Taking this opportunity today, I hope that our Eastern capital and Eastern enterprises can cooperate closely for mutual benefit and win-win results, unite as one to fight against European and American capital, and make our Eastern voice heard in the world economy."
After Li Jianhui finished speaking, Yasuda, the head of the Fuji Foundation, said: "Although due to historical reasons, we all have some conflicts.
But we are both yellow people and members of Eastern culture. It is our common responsibility to bring Eastern economy and culture back to the top of the world.
European and American consortiums are indeed strong, but we don’t need to belittle ourselves. We Japanese companies are willing to take the lead in containing the main energy of American companies and provide everyone with more development time.
As long as we strengthen internal cooperation, I believe that in three to five years, whether it is Xiangjiang enterprises, Baodao enterprises or Korean enterprises in ASEAN, they will have great development. By then, even if they independently face European and American consortiums, they will have the strength to defend themselves against enemies."
The people present had different ideas, and they did not doubt Li Jianhui and Yasuda's intention to fight against European and American companies, especially against American companies.
But this does not hinder the ambition of Japan and the Xiangjiang Consortium to become the capital talkers in Asia. The Japanese consortium in particular has always considered itself to be the leader in Asia.
Not to mention Li Jianhui, his ambition has long been obvious. The Donghua Association itself was established for this purpose, with the hope of becoming the spokesperson of the Eastern Chinese business community, and even the entire Eastern Capital.
The Nanyang Consortium is erratic within, some are cooperating with the Japanese consortium, some are cooperating with the Western European consortium, some are cooperating with the Xiangjiang consortium, and some are even cooperating with the American consortium.
The Korean consortium is currently cooperating with the American consortium. Hyundai Motor and Daewoo Motors have easily entered the US auto market. On the low-end cars, they are inextricably linked to Japanese auto companies.
South Korea's shipbuilding industry has also received technical support from the American consortium, and I am afraid that it will become a strong enemy of Japan's shipbuilding industry in the near future.
Electronic semiconductors are also developing rapidly. Samsung Group has accepted technical support from the United States and begun to deploy related industries on a large scale.
So despite the enthusiasm Li Jianhui and Yasuda said, the effect is not very good. At present, the main three-party capital cooperation between Japan, Xiangjiang, and Baodao is to jointly deal with American capital.
It would be good if the Nanyang Consortium does not cause trouble for them. As for the Korean Consortium, it is the target of their focus in the Asian market.
Especially Hyundai Zhengjia, Samsung Lijia, Daewoo Jinjia, LG Furniture, Lotte Xinjia, Hanjin Zhaojia.
None of these families are fuel-efficient. Although there are still some gaps compared with the top ten families in Xiangjiang, their development potential cannot be underestimated. You must know that these families are comprehensive industries, unlike the Xiangjiang family whose main industries are in finance and
On real estate.
In the past two years, under the leadership of Li Jianhui, many families have also developed in multiple industries. For example, the Li family of East Asia has four main businesses: finance, real estate, film industry, and electronic semiconductors, and has also invested in cinemas, media, transportation, and foreign trade.
, energy and other enterprises.
Regardless of how enthusiastic everyone is, it is these people who are talking about hidden swords in their smiles. Xiangjiang Baodao Capital is able to cooperate with Japanese capital mainly because they have a common opponent, American Capital. If it were not for the threat of this giant, I am afraid that both parties would
The Asian market has long been prosperous. Where can we sit together in such harmony, talking and laughing?
When he came to the head of the Korean family, Li Jianhui said to Li Jianxi: "The Li family in the world is one family, and Mr. Li is from the generation of Jian, and I am also from the generation of Jian. Although the word is different, the pronunciation is the same.
This is fate.
I also hope that our two sides can strengthen cooperation in the future so that our Li family can occupy a place in the world business community."
Regarding Li Jianhui's words, Li Jianxi was a little speechless. This can all be related. As for cooperation, there is little hope. Samsung and Huaxin Group are direct rivals in semiconductors. It would be good if both parties do not stab each other in the back.
However, the Li family in Xiangjiang is really powerful. There are three of the top ten families in Xiangjiang, and the other one is also ranked eleventh. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Li family accounts for half of the world in Xiangjiang's economy.
Currently, Samsung seems to be incomparable to any of the four major Li families in Xiangjiang. Even the 11th-ranked Cheung Kong Li family has much more assets than him. This is because Xiangjiang real estate is currently at a trough.
As for the Xinjian Li family and the Dongya Li family, he couldn't muster the courage to compare with them. At this time, Samsung had just risen and was not yet a giant in the 21st century. Regardless of the many industries, assets, and Dongya
The Li family is far away.
The Henderson Lee family is backed by Henderson Land, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Sun Hung Kai Holdings, Huaxin Film and Television Media Group, Towngas, etc., and its capital is equally strong.
No matter what he was thinking in his heart, Li Jianxi still responded enthusiastically on the surface. For a moment, the two of them were like brothers, and those who didn't know it thought they had a good relationship.
Li Jianhui is having a relationship with the heads of the South Korean consortium, and the Japanese consortium is not idle either. They are targeting the heads of the Nanyang consortium, hoping to win over a group of cooperative people, not only to target the United States and
Korean companies are also competing for the ASEAN market with Hong Kong and Baodao companies.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. This was vividly demonstrated at this party. Each company has its own calculations. Don't look at the lively cooperation between Xiangjiang Capital and Japanese Capital. It is just to deal with American capital. Secretly, the two parties are in harmony but also inseparable.
.
The Japanese Consortium will never give up the ASEAN market to the Heung Kong Consortium easily, and the Heung Kong Consortium must occupy the ASEAN market for its own development. This contradiction cannot be resolved.
Fortunately, the current focus of the Japanese consortium is on the North American market, otherwise the most fiercely fighting companies would be Japanese companies and Xiangjiang companies.
Chen Xinyi, who has not experienced much, is not used to this kind of fake atmosphere, but as Li Jianhui's wife, she forces herself to blend in.
She didn't want such an occasion to be replaced by Zhou Jiayi, Guan Jiahui, Su Jiangting and others. On such an important occasion, only she, the official wife on the surface, should accompany her.
Li Jianhui talked with these family leaders, while she was among these wives, mingling with these people.
