Through the wealth life

Chapter 1097
Perhaps it was the Phoenix Group's press conference that angered the U.S. government, or perhaps they felt that their authority as a super-hegemon had been challenged.

On the morning of the 14th Los Angeles time, the spokesperson of the US Department of Commerce conducted an anti-dumping investigation on Phoenix Computer, Phoenix S1 operating system, and Eastern Semiconductor Group chips at a press conference. The results will be announced within a week.

At present, the main business of Oriental Semiconductor Group, apart from the Lee consortium, is the US market. Once the US government imposes dumping duties on Oriental Semiconductor Group and increases tariffs on Oriental Semiconductor Group products, it will have a considerable impact on the performance of Eastern Semiconductor Group.

The current goal of the American consortium is very clear, which is to squeeze the high-tech industries under the Lee consortium out of the American market, especially those related to computers and the Internet.

The Li’s consortium’s invincible weapon in competition over the years is price. The cost of the same quality products of the Li’s consortium is much lower than that of companies in the United States. This also gives the Li’s consortium the confidence to compete with American companies, and they can be eliminated in terms of price. A large number of opponents.

And what makes the consortia in the United States most unhappy is that the Li's consortium basically chose Xiangjiang to go public, and most of the shares are in their hands, which prevents them from getting dividends from the Li's consortium. They naturally hope to suppress the Li's consortium go down.

You must know that the main business of these consortiums in the United States is finance, and the wolves of Wall Street are their spokespersons. The shares of many large companies in the United States are controlled by them. These companies competed for the market, which made them unable to stand it anymore, and thus caused some troubles for the Li's consortium.

Now their main opponent is still in Japan. Those consortiums in Japan are very strong now. Seven of the top ten groups in the world by market value are in Japan, only three in the United States, and none in other countries and regions.

Moreover, based on Japan's current development momentum, it is estimated that companies with market capitalization in the top ten will increase, such as Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Toyota Motor Group, Daiichi Kanyo Bank, Industrial Bank of Japan, Nippon Telecom and Telephone Corporation, Japan Fuji Bank, these seven companies rank among the top seven in the world, suppressing IBM, Exxon Mobil, and General Electric in the United States.

And No. 11 is the Union Bank of Japan, which is likely to suppress General Electric this year.

Therefore, although Li Guangyu is very strong now and dances more happily, both Japan and the United States regard each other as the main opponent, and the Lee consortium can suppress it a little. After the opponent is resolved, they will slowly clean up Li. consortium.

On the morning of the 15th, Hong Kong time, Li Guangyu listened to He Jin's report on the situation in the United States in his office.

Li Guangyu knew that the way of selling at low prices to snatch the market would not work. If the Phoenix Group continued to do this, the US government would definitely impose anti-dumping measures on the Phoenix Group.

This time the U.S. government is obviously forcing the Phoenix Group to raise prices, so that the Phoenix operating system will lose its price advantage and better protect Microsoft's domestic market.

Li Guangyu said: "Since you can't sell at a low price, you can adjust the price to a position similar to that of Microsoft. The extra profit will strengthen the publicity in the United States and the rebate of terminal sales. Our increase in terminal sales will also benefit Their pitch to our system."

He Jin is also unwilling to send money to the U.S. government. Now that the U.S. wants to set a price on them, they can only increase the price to sell. At the same time, the legal department also needs to fight a lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Anyway, according to the World General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, their Phoenix Group is not enough to dump on the United States. Their cost is relatively low. In the United States, it is not because their price is too low, but Microsoft's The price was too high, and the other party obviously didn't want to lower the price, which created such a situation.

And it's not just that Microsoft doesn't want to lower it, it's estimated that the consortiums behind don't want the operating system to sell at the price of cabbage. As capitalists, they naturally hope that the higher the profit, the better.

He Jin responded: "Li Sheng, I'm afraid that if we raise the price suddenly, consumers in the United States will be dissatisfied, and this will have some negative impact on our group."

Of course Li Guangyu is aware of the situation in this regard, but he already has a countermeasure. The reason for the price increase this time can be led to Microsoft and the US Department of Commerce. The increase in shopping costs for the American people can only be blamed on the US government and Microsoft.

Li Guangyu said: "This aspect requires more publicity by the media. The main reason is to focus on the US government and Microsoft. In addition, you focus on the Greater China region, the Commonwealth of Nations, Western Europe, Japan and South Korea. Although the demand in the mainland It’s still very small, and the market is not big, but you have to pay attention, this is the biggest market in the future.”

As a non-US high-tech company, it is very difficult to occupy the US market. Unless you are willing to let this company become a vassal of the US consortium, otherwise you don’t want to grab food in the US market, and the other party will try to drive you out of the US market. .

In the future, the main markets of the Lee Consortium will only be Greater China, Southeast Asia, the Commonwealth of Nations, Eastern Europe, and Japan and South Korea. The consortiums of these two countries are not cheap.

He Jin is naturally aware of the importance and potential of the mainland market. As long as the Phoenix Group can firmly occupy the mainland market, he is not afraid to compete with Microsoft. Although it may take a long time for the mainland, she has the patience to wait. Just focus on places like Western Europe, Japan and South Korea.

He Jin responded: "I will go to the capital in the name of the group in the near future to negotiate with the Department of Industrial Information Technology of the Mainland. I hope that the Mainland government can fully use our operating system. We can give some discounts in terms of price, and we can promise funds. Settlement in RMB, we will not convert foreign exchange within 10 years.”

He Jin is not afraid that they are all in RMB. She is planning to start a large-scale layout of Phoenix directly-operated stores in the mainland, and now they mainly use computers and mobile phones.

The cooperation between Xiangjiang Communication Group and the mainland has been negotiated. Guangdong Province will realize mobile communication integration with Xiangjiang and Lisboa, which gives Phoenix Group the opportunity to enter the mainland.

Although the reform and opening up in the Mainland is still in the initial stage, eight years have passed since the self-employed were allowed to exist in 80. During these eight years, many self-employed people still have good savings, not to mention other things, hundreds of thousands of dollars. There are many privately purchased cars, and a mobile phone worth more than 2 yuan must be affordable.

And as time goes by, many production companies of the Phoenix Group will be placed in the mainland in the future, and construction in this area will also require a lot of funds. She is not afraid of a lot of RMB, as long as her products can enter.

He Jin believes that this negotiation should be very pleasant. The quality of his Phoenix operating system is not inferior to that of Microsoft. Compared with American companies, the mainland government is definitely more willing to choose Xiangjiang's products.

Li Guangyu said: "You can make up your own mind about this. Besides, He Qian is coming back. You should take care of her when the time comes, and put her in charge of the software company's business."

He Jin has long known that the software company will become independent in the future, so she is not too surprised. In the future, Phoenix Group will mainly focus on hardware.
