Chapter 1100 Helpless Choice
The outside world is discussing the Xiangjiang Rich List, and some people are worried about the future of the Li Family Consortium. Li Guangyu, the behind-the-scenes manipulator who is stirring up the situation, is currently in the office discussing the United States with Qing Hong, Wang Hui, Peng Xiaoli, He Jin, and Gan Qin. business over there.

Perhaps the high-level executives in the United States have realized that there is a problem with their domestic economy, so they have taken a lot of actions this month, hoping to protect their domestic enterprises and reduce their trade deficit.

On the day when the U.S. Department of Commerce announced an anti-dumping investigation against dozens of companies, including the Phoenix Group and Dongfang Semiconductor Group under the Lee consortium, various economic development data for the first quarter of the U.S. also came out, and the economic situation was very pessimistic. .

Not to mention the huge fiscal deficit, its domestic economic growth rate hovers between 1% and 2%, and the depreciation of the dollar makes the United States urgently need to change the current situation.

The unilateral trade protection policy has become the magic weapon of the United States. Increasing import tariffs on products of foreign companies, conducting anti-dumping investigations on some foreign companies, reducing the living space of these companies in the US market, and promoting the development of domestic companies have become a part of the US government. big choice.

This time, the U.S. Department of Commerce is not only targeting Li Guangyu’s Phoenix Group and Dongfang Semiconductor Group. There are more companies in Japan. They alone account for half of the total number of companies targeted by the U.S. this time. 27 of the 13 companies are Japanese.

It can also be seen that the American consortium still regards the Japanese consortium as their biggest competitor. Now that the Japanese economy is developing too fast, the United States will not relax its suppression of Japanese companies.

Li Guangyu said: "The United States is currently very unfavorable to us, especially our Oriental Semiconductor Group. Once the ex-factory price is raised, it will be difficult for us to compete with Texas Instruments. I wonder if you have any good suggestions for this?"

As Peng Xiaoli, who has been in charge of the Li's consortium's affairs in the United States for many years, she is very aware of the situation in the United States. The situation that the Li's consortium is facing in the United States is similar to that faced by the Japanese consortium in the past 20 years.

Since the 50s, Japanese consortiums and companies have been continuously targeted by the United States, from the textile industry at the beginning to the steel industry in the 70s, and now the automobile and electronics industries.

It can be said that as long as any company in the US market threatens the development of the US industry, they will introduce corresponding countermeasures to suppress foreign companies from entering the domestic market. Just like cars, the US even restricts the number.

And now the Li's consortium is also enjoying the treatment of the Japanese consortium, which only shows that some companies of the Li's consortium are indeed threatening the development of some American companies, so they will attack related companies of the Li's consortium, if there is no big threat If you don't, the U.S. government doesn't bother to care about you.

She said aloud: "Li Sheng, I personally think that we still need to learn more from the practices of Japanese companies. They have accumulated a lot of experience in the past few decades of suppression by the United States. They have long been accustomed to these practices of the US government. Yes, it is very easy to deal with such things, and many of our companies may face such incidents in the future, and we also need to summarize a set of effective countermeasures to prevent our companies from suffering too much loss."

Of course, Li Guangyu is aware of some Japanese practices, but such practices are actually more helpless. Looking at history, we know that since the 50s, Japanese companies have fought and retreated, and many industries have signed export restrictions with the United States. , Reduce the number of products exported to the United States, from the textile industry at the beginning to the automobile industry later.

Moreover, in order to suppress Japan's exports, the United States deliberately united with some countries in Western Europe to force the yen to appreciate, which increased the cost of exporting Japanese domestic products and reduced the competitiveness of Japanese domestic products.

Japan is restricted by the United States once, and they upgrade their industry once, restricting him from the textile industry, he enters the steel industry, and restricts the steel industry from entering the home appliance and automobile industry. This aspect is restricted, and they enter the electronic semiconductor industry. At present, Japan occupies the semiconductor industry. The country with the most markets.

In order to break through the import restrictions of the United States, many large enterprises in Japan have directly established production bases in the United States to continue to maintain the competitiveness of their products. This has solved the employment of the United States and stimulated its domestic economic development. Suppress this vigorously, otherwise its interior will be chaotic.

Li Guangyu's Bentley Group learned from the practice of the Japanese automobile group. In order to break through the tariff restrictions on imported cars from the United States, Bentley directly established a production base in the United States, which also enabled the Bentley Group to still occupy a good share of the American market in the past two years.

Phoenix Group also established a joint venture with Fumao Group, Lanhuang Company, which is mainly engaged in the mobile phone business. This company holds 40% of the shares of Fumao Group, and Jade Bird Fund and Phoenix Group each hold 30% of the shares.

This time Phoenix Computer was included in the anti-dumping investigation list by the U.S. Department of Commerce. In order to continue to seize the market, the Phoenix Group is expected to allow Blue Phoenix to enter the computer manufacturing industry through technology transfer.

Wang Hui, as the director of foreign intelligence of the Lee Consortium, has deliberately increased his investment in the United States this year, with the focus on business.

He said aloud: "Li Sheng, our Oriental Semiconductor Group still needs to try our best to open up markets in other regions, such as the mainland, such as Western Europe. The United States obviously wants to sweep us and Japan out of the game and maintain their own domestic semiconductor companies.

Personally, I think the U.S. is facing serious economic problems, and the stock market has major risks. There is too much hot money there. In the past three months alone, Japanese funds have invested nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars in the stock market. Real cash, I am worried that once the hot money from all parties is not optimistic about the US stock market, it will definitely collapse at that time. "

Wang Hui used to be the Secretary-General of the Taiwan Executive Yuan, and the structure is still very large. He has a lot of knowledge about the economy as the mayor of Taipei. As the intelligence chief of the Lee Consortium, their focus is naturally on economic and commercial intelligence. The current situation in the United States makes him feel very strange.

According to the U.S. economic development report for the first quarter, the stock market should have experienced a decline. However, the stock market is still singing all the way. At present, the market value of the U.S. stock market has exceeded [-] trillion U.S. dollars, and the market value is quite terrifying.

At present, the total market value of Xiangjiang is less than 9000 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is because Xiangyu Culture Group and Xiangjiang Communication Group have added more than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars to its market value. How big is it.

Once there is any problem in the United States, it will definitely affect other stock markets. Wang Hui hopes that Li Guangyu will be prepared in this regard.

Afterwards, Gan Qin and He Jin also expressed their views. Regarding the rogue-like practices of the United States, they can only learn from the Japanese consortium, compete with them through other channels, and at the same time upgrade their own industries. Through technological innovation, they have Core patents, so that we can take the initiative.

They didn't mention anything about the stock market, they knew that Li Guangyu must have his own plan, and they believed that the Li consortium would definitely be one of the biggest winners at that time.
