Chapter 439 The market focus is not in the United States
U.S. capital was obviously unwilling to see Xinjian's retail companies and home appliances gain a foothold in the California market. On the third day after Lane Crawford and others started operating in California, the U.S. government took action against Jingyi Electric Co., Ltd. and Datong Electric Co., Ltd.
Anti-dumping investigation.
Although the Baodao government and the Bryan government successively issued speeches of protest on this matter, they did not change the U.S. government's decision at all.
To be honest, the home appliances market in the United States is now mainly occupied by Japanese and Korean products, so there is nothing wrong with having one more Donghuahui.
It’s just that the Xinjian Department has been so happy this year, and it has joined forces with Japan and Western Europe to launch a large-scale attack on American companies in the North American market, especially in the Canadian market. The offensive has been particularly fierce in recent days, from home appliances to cars, from chips and semiconductors to
Computer hardware and software, from retail to energy.
It is rumored that Xin Jian is even more ambitious and wants to acquire Bombardier through Huaying Holdings and Lanfeng Holdings to enter the aircraft R&D and manufacturing industry.
Fortunately, not only their American capital is opposed to this, but also Western Europe, which has a good relationship with Xinjian, does not agree. Boeing does not want another competitor, and Airbus is also unwilling.
Regarding some of the Tung Wah Society's plans, the top US officials still knew about it through intelligence. Li Jianhui hoped to unite Japanese and Western European companies to block American companies from the US market.
American capital now wants to keep Xinjian companies out of the local market as much as possible. This investigation into Jingyi Electric and Datong Electric is just the beginning.
Afterwards, Phoenix Operating System, Huahong Computer, Yushi Automobile, Jaguar Motors, Xinjian Investment, etc. will conduct targeted investigations.
Whether it is in the name of suspected national security, an anti-dumping investigation, or an increase in tariffs on its products, in short, it cannot allow Xinjian companies to develop in the U.S. market with peace of mind.
Even if some of these companies are headquartered in England and are regarded as key supporting industries by Britain, they don't care. For the benefit of American companies themselves, even companies from allies will continue to attack them.
Compared to Guan Jiahui, who was aggrieved after hearing the news, Li Jianhui did not feel much about it. He had already anticipated the possible attacks on his industry.
This is also the reason why his focus has not been on the world's largest market. Compared with other countries and regional markets, the US government likes to target companies that have a significant impact on the United States.
In terms of industrial importance, Li Jianhui's entry into the U.S. market is not worth mentioning. This time the U.S. government's intervention is mainly driven by U.S. capital. While it is doing its best to suppress the Japanese consortium, the U.S. consortium does not want new and unaffected industries in Asia.
control and the rise of large conglomerates that are hostile to them.
Especially in Greater China, which has always been the focus of prevention by the American consortium, the development of the Tung Wah Society has obviously exceeded the bottom line of the American consortium, and a consensus has been reached among the upper levels of the American consortium to suppress the development of the Tung Wah Society.
Even Citigroup, which currently has a relatively good relationship with the Xinjian Clan, also supports suppressing the Xinjian Clan.
In the past, it was fine that the Xin Jian Clan and even the Dong Hua Society did not jump out to compete head-on with the American consortium. Now that they have chosen to take the lead this year, the American consortium will naturally no longer ignore the existence of the Dong Hua Society.
On the one hand, they support the Korean consortium, and on the other hand, they suppress the Donghua Consortium, making it clear to capital from all over the world that only by following their American consortium can they be qualified to develop in the US market.
"Why should this matter affect your mood? Since the other party wants to investigate, let them investigate. Isn't our legal department relatively free? It just allows them to focus on the United States.
Jiahui, you have to remember that in the future, our industrial focus will be in Greater China, ASEAN, the Commonwealth, Eastern Europe, and the US market will not be our focus now or in the future.
In order to complete our strategic layout, Sister Jiayi and Shuhui will no longer be naturalized in the United States, but will choose Canada to acquire Bombardier.
We can make some small profits in the U.S. market, so we don’t need to spend our main energy here.”
Guan Jiahui heard that Li Jianhui's focus on the Greater China, ASEAN, and Commonwealth markets was no exception. After all, this was also the development policy that the Xin Jianhui Department had set long ago.
It doesn't matter if Zhou Jiayi and her daughter Li Shuhui change their citizenship from the United States to Canada. After all, according to the plan, Zhou Jiayi's children will inherit the assets of Huaying Holdings and Meiya Holdings in the future.
Regardless of its current capital strength or future development positioning, Huaying Holdings headquartered in Vancouver is far better than Meiya Holdings headquartered in Los Angeles.
But what is the positioning of the Eastern European market as the center of development? You must know that it is currently the territory of the Red Soviet Union, and its market is more difficult to enter than the mainland that has implemented reform and opening up.
Guan Jiahui would not think that Li Jianhui would mistakenly refer to Eastern Europe as Western Europe, and the Western European market is currently dominated by Western European companies. In addition, Xin Jian's strategy is to have good relations with Western European capital, and it is unlikely to enter Western Europe on a large scale.
market.
Faced with Guan Jiahui's questions about Eastern Europe, Li Jianhui said with a smile: "How can everything in this world be prosperous? Even a thousand-year-old family has its moments of decline, not to mention the Soviet Union, which has enemies from the outside and is full of internal contradictions.
When the weather changes, when we enter the Eastern European market on a large scale, that will be another foundation for us.
And once there is no threat from the Big Mac in Western Europe, I believe those countries and capital will not be willing to continue to be influenced by the United States.
Especially Britain, with our influence here, its overall strength will definitely improve. As long as Britain does not follow the United States and influence the decisions of Western Europe, the united Western Europe may not be able to compete with the United States."
Although Guan Jiahui felt that Li Jianhui's words were a bit fanciful, she did not refute it. If the giant really fell, it would be of huge benefit to the Xin Jian Department and even the Donghua Society.
Once Western Europe no longer has the threat of Big Mac, and the United States imposes sanctions on Xinjian companies headquartered in the Western European market, Western Europe will inevitably take countermeasures.
Moreover, the mainland will inevitably accelerate its opening to the outside world due to its impact, and Xinjian companies will also be able to enter the mainland market on a large scale, making the Greater China market truly the foundation of Xinjian.
Moreover, once Eastern Europe changes, it will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes. As long as the Xinjian system is deployed in advance and with the influence of Western Europe, the market there will definitely be stronger than the Commonwealth market.
"Jianhui, we chose Vienna, the capital of Austria, which is currently a neutral country, as the last stop before returning to Xiangjiang for this inspection. Is this to prepare for future changes?"
"It's still too early at the moment. My main purpose in the past was to do some small business and expand our industry to Central and Eastern Europe.
In addition, a trading wholesale company was established in Austria, and light industrial products such as grain, oil, clothing, and small household appliances were all within the sales scope of this company.
We only do business in Austria, no matter who the buyer is, we can even barter, oil, natural gas, ore, machinery and equipment, etc."
Having been a senior executive for several years and having been with Li Jianhui for so long, how could Guan Jiahui not understand Li Jianhui's plan?
This is to prepare to use Austria, a neutral country, as a bridgehead to do business with various member countries in the Soviet Union, especially the barter business, which will probably attract a large number of customers.
We must know that the Soviet Union attaches great importance to heavy industry but ignores light industry. Not only is there a shortage of light industry products, but food is also a major domestic problem.
I just don’t know if this trading company will be in trouble after it officially operates. After all, NATO, headed by the United States, imposes very severe sanctions on the Soviet Union.
