The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 419 Wylie who is under pressure

This time Xinjian is very high-profile, especially its retail group, Lane Crawford, Watsons, and IKEA Convenience Store held press conferences in Xiangjiang one after another.

Among them, Lane Crawford announced that it will invest one billion Hong Kong dollars in California, with Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose as the center, to establish the first batch of ten supermarkets, and then gradually increase the number of supermarkets according to the development. Watsons and IKEA convenience stores also released similar news.

The general market is happy with the news, but the elites at the top know that this is a declaration of the Xinjian Department entering the US market on a large scale, which means that the Xinjian Department has formally launched a challenge to American capital.

Later, it was reported that Liu Xiaoyan, President of Huangpu Holding Group, Li Qungang, President of Tesco Group and Lane Crawford, Zhu Peilin, Vice President of Watsons, Liu Chenghui, Vice President of Yushi Group, and Du Jinming, Director of Market Development Department of Hua Hong Group, left Hong Kong for Los Angeles one after another. The upper management believes that this year, the focus of the Xinjian Department has begun to shift from the Southeast Asian market to the United States, the world's largest market.

Wei Li, who was already in Los Angeles at this time, was not at ease. Although he had experienced many difficulties and faced several major Japanese conglomerates, he was not under such great pressure this time.

This time he will lead the Xinjian Department to face American capital, and there is a U.S. government behind it that serves American capital. Even if the products of the Xinjian Department surpass the products of the same industry in the United States, it is useless. Tariffs are a routine method, and some products are even directly banned on the grounds of unsafety.

The day after Liu Xiaoyan and others arrived in Los Angeles, Wei Li discussed with Liu Xiaoyan and Luo Minjun.

Regardless of the current appearance of the Xinjian Department aggressively entering the US market, in fact, this year's focus is still on the Canadian market, and entering California is just to divert the energy of the US consortium.

"Miss Liu, Luo Sheng, I believe that your main task, Li Sheng, has already explained clearly to you that whether you can complete the development strategy of the Xinjian Department this year will mainly depend on the two of you.

I am here in California to help you, and try my best to combine Japanese and Western European capital to contain the energy of American capital in the American market, especially the major retail giants in the United States. "

For Wei Li, whether it is Liu Xiaoyan, who is currently serving as the assistant office director, or Luo Minjun, who is in charge of Canadian affairs and is the president of Huaying Holdings Group, they dare not underestimate him at all.

The senior officials of the Xinjian Department knew very well that this person was no less capable than Huang Guangxing and Zhou Pengfei. If it wasn't for the fact that he entered the Xinjian Department a little later, and because he was not from Xiangjiang Chinese, he might be the CEO.

Although Wei Li is not the CEO now, he is definitely Li Jianhui's favorite. Where the situation in the Xinjian Department is the most difficult, Wei Li will be sent there.

Although the focus of the Xinjian Department is on the Canadian market this time, the expansion of the layout here is mainly based on the two of them, but the two of them still have to follow Wei Li's leadership.

So despite Wei Li's polite words, Liu Xiaoyan immediately said: "This time we came here, and Li Sheng made it clear that everything in the North American market is dominated by you. This time, our Xinjian Department took the initiative to compete with American capital. , on the development of the Canadian market, I would also like to ask Mr. Wei Li to give more advice."

Luo Minjun, who assists Wei Li in charge of North American affairs of Xinjian Department, even said that he and Huaying Holding Group will fully cooperate with Wei Li's work, so that Xinjian Department's industry can develop better and faster in the North American market.

Hearing the two's statements, Wei Li felt a lot more relaxed. Although he was ranked third in the executive team, Liu Xiaoyan and Luo Minjun were also members of the executive team, and their status in the Xinjian Department was no lower than him.

Especially Liu Xiaoyan, as the current person in charge of the internal coordination office, can intervene in all the internal cooperation matters of the Xinjian Department to a certain extent, and her power is not ordinary.

Now with the cooperation of these two, he can more calmly deal with the possible counterattack of American capital.

As the head of North America of the Xinjian Department, Wei Li not only wants to let the main industries of the Xinjian Department dominate the Canadian market, but also hopes to gain a firm foothold in the American market, at least in the western United States. leading.

Although he has not worked in the United States before, he still knows some things about American capital. In the western United States, there are mainly California consortiums and Texas consortiums. These two major industries are mainly military industry, finance, and semiconductors. In terms of competition, Wei Li is really afraid of these two.

The biggest pressure this time is computer hardware and software. The industrial center of the United States is in the west, where Apple, IBM, Intel, Helios, Oracle, Microsoft and other companies are headquartered here. Many of the shareholders behind these companies are An investment bank under the Western Consortium.

In order to cope with the competition in this area, Wei Li communicated with Liu Xiaoyan about Meiya Holding Group's computer brand building, operating system, and office software joint venture.

I hope that Liu Xiaoyan can coordinate Meiya Holding Group to reach cooperation with Phoenix Group, Huaxin Group, Xinhui Technology, East Asia Technology, Guanghua Technology, Hon Hai Technology and other companies as soon as possible.

As far as computer brands are concerned, Meiya Holdings Group has only established a headquarters in Los Angeles, and there are only design and sales departments in it. Parts are provided by Huaxin Technology and other companies, and Hon Hai Technology Group is responsible for assembly.

As for the operating system and office software, Meiya Holding Group and Phoenix Group established a joint venture in Los Angeles. Phoenix Group provides technology and Meiya provides capital. The main market is within the US market.

This aspect is similar to the newly established Red Maple Technology Company in London, which is also a joint venture between Phoenix Group and Defeng Bank.

You must know that the current shareholders of Defeng Bank are not only Blue Maple Holdings and the Cavendish family, but also the Bute family, the Grosvenor family, and the Campbell family.

This bank is a combination of Lanfeng Holdings and British nobles, and owns shares in companies including Lanfeng Technology, Rose Technology, Jaguar Group, Red Maple Technology, and Lanfeng Film and Television Media Group.

Fortunately, none of the major technology groups are currently listed, and some of Li Jianhui's operations are very easy. He doesn't need to consider the reaction of shareholders, and he doesn't need too much calculation and negotiation. Anyway, he is left-handed and right-handed.

What Wei Li mentioned was within the development scope of the Xinjian Department, so Liu Xiaoyan naturally didn't need to have any worries.

Immediately stated that it will coordinate the cooperation between several companies and the Meiya Holding Group as soon as possible, so that the computers, operating systems, and office software under the Meiya Holding Group will be launched on the market in July as much as possible.

When discussing with Wei Li, facing the menacing Xinjian Department, some forces in the United States did not wait to see the follow-up development. The local government plays prestige, and the American market is obviously not a place where Xinjian can do whatever it wants.

Among them are the California consortium for their own interests and the market, as well as the DuPont family who have always been dissatisfied with Xinjian. Although the California market is still calm, the undercurrent has begun to surge.
