Chapter 1252 Increase Investment and Cooperation

On the afternoon of the same day, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing and others held talks with the Mayor of Vancouver, and the two sides communicated on further strengthening cooperation.

This time, China Shipping Group will open up the shipping business from Canada to Asia and build a cargo terminal at the Port of Vancouver.

Kangxin Medical Group will increase the construction of Kangxin Hospital in Vancouver, making it a large general hospital integrating scientific research, teaching and clinical practice.

And this hospital will be a commercial profit-making hospital, and it is also a reform of the Canadian federal government to effectively supplement the current Canadian medical industry. Currently, almost all Canadian hospitals are government-owned, and there are very few private hospitals.

At the same time, further communication was made on the development of Vancouver Mobile Communications Company. At present, there are two major mobile communication companies in Canada. One is Vancouver Mobile Communications Company, which is a joint venture between Heung Kong Communications Group and the Vancouver government.

The other is the Canadian Mobile Communications Corporation, which is a joint venture between the Canadian federal government and Motorola.

Now the Vancouver Mobile Communications Company mainly occupies the Midwest market, and the Canadian Mobile Communications Company occupies the Eastern Canadian market.

At the end of the meeting, the Mayor of Vancouver said: "Mr. Li, we in Vancouver welcome more companies under your umbrella to come and invest. I believe that we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. As one of the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, Canada is absolutely It is impossible to help American companies suppress companies within the Commonwealth of Nations."

As the mayor of Vancouver, how could Clent Hashim not understand the recent situation.

Regarding their image of Canada in the outside world, which has always been regarded as the back garden of the United States, he is extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

He is very happy to see Asian capital besieging American capital this time. At the same time, he also hopes that Asian capital can teach American capital a lesson in their market.

Li Guangyu said: "Thank you very much for being impartial to you and the Canadian federal government this time. Our major retail groups have always upheld the concept of serving Canadian citizens in the Canadian market, bringing them low-priced and high-quality products and reducing them. consumption costs, improve their quality of life, and at the same time bring a large number of jobs to the local area.”

What Li Guangyu is most worried about now is the interference of the Canadian government. As long as they do not favor American companies, he is confident that several major American retail groups will withdraw from the Canadian market.

After meeting with the mayor of Vancouver today, Li Guangyu will fly directly to Ottawa to discuss with the Canadian federal government. There are many cooperation matters involved.

Li Guangyu brought so many high-level executives here not just for the sake of appearance. Everyone has their own tasks and they have business to discuss in Canada.

Hashem, who maintains a relatively close relationship with the Lee consortium, knows very well in his heart that Li Guangyu's words are only fooling the outside world. The reason why the price is so cheap during this period is just to squeeze the market of the American retail group.

Once several major retail groups in the United States are kicked out of the Canadian market, the price will inevitably return to the original price. Although it is not expensive, it is definitely not related to low prices.

These retail groups are ultimately profit-oriented, not charitable organizations. The current price obviously affects the profitability of these companies. Currently, these retail supermarkets in Canada are selling at low profits, or even selling with guaranteed capital.

Canadian citizens are very happy now. Unlike these retail companies who want to end the battle as soon as possible, Canadian citizens are just the opposite. They hope that this situation will continue, so that their consumption of daily necessities will be reduced a lot.

He didn't say anything. As a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, especially in Vancouver, the Li's consortium is very much in need of support.

His predecessor has now moved up to the federal center to serve as the minister of foreign affairs, and he himself has also contributed a lot to the Li family consortium.

In Vancouver, there are more than 5 people working for the companies under the Lee Consortium. This is a very powerful force that indirectly affects hundreds of thousands of families. As long as he has the support of the Lee Consortium, he will have the support of hundreds of thousands of votes .

Now on their Canadian side, the capital headed by Toronto in the east is more inclined to the American consortium, while the capital headed by Vancouver in the west is close to Asian capital, especially the capital of the Lee consortium and its allies.

Now the business center of Vancouver is Chinatown, which was put into use at the end of 1986, integrating commercial, office and residential complexes. Now it has become a major check-in place in Vancouver, and now it is also a residential area for Asians.

At present, the financial center of Vancouver is also the Tianyu Financial Center, which was put into use last summer. This is the CBD jointly built by the Lee Consortium and its allies. Now the headquarters of major companies under the Lee Consortium and the Canadian headquarters of many Asian companies are located here. .

At the same time, there are also banks in Greater China, such as Tianyu Bank, Heung Kong Bank, Bank of East Asia, Heung Kong Asia Commercial Bank, Sun Hung Kai Bank, Far East Bank, Hsinchu Bank, HSBC, Sincere Bank, and Bank of China.

In addition, there are banks in Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and other places in Canada with their headquarters or branches in western Canada.

And this time, Vancouver will build the first Wheelock Square in North America, which will bring new vitality to Vancouver's economy.

In addition, the Lee Consortium will also build the first Xiangyu comic theme park in North America, providing a place for comic fans and children in Vancouver and even western Canada to play, which will greatly promote Vancouver's tourism economy.

It can be said that the influence of the Lee Consortium in Vancouver has reached a very high level. Once all the industries of the Li Consortium cease to operate, Vancouver's economy will suffer a heavy blow, countless citizens will lose their jobs, and the government will probably be angry. The citizens stepped down.

The senior management of Vancouver City is also aware of this situation, but the Conservative Party is in power now, and it is the main ally of the Lee Consortium here. They are very happy to strengthen the influence of the Lee Consortium in Vancouver, so that the city of Vancouver will become their conservative party. One of the basic plates of the party.

The Conservative Party over there that the Lee Consortium chose to cooperate with in England, but in Canada, he still chose the Conservative Party here in China.

At present, the effect is not bad, at least the interests of Li's consortium in its country can be guaranteed, and there will be no policies that deliberately embarrass Li's consortium.

While Li Guangyu was having talks with the mayor of Vancouver, in Ottawa, the US Secretary of State was also having talks with the Canadian Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Its focus is to strengthen economic and military cooperation between the two sides, and discussions have been conducted on bilateral tariffs and preferential policies for enterprises.

This aspect is particularly important. At present, several major retail groups under Lee's are all owned by Commonwealth enterprises. These enterprises enjoy much better policies than their American retail enterprises in Canada. This time, the US Secretary of State is here to change this situation.

Although the Commonwealth of Nations is loose, the influence of England in Canada, Australia and other places is still very large. The governors of these two places are appointed by the Queen of England, usually members of the British royal family, and the Queen of England is also their nominal head of state.

In terms of economy, enterprises within the Commonwealth enjoy the economic preferential system, which is impossible for American enterprises, which increases the cost and difficulty for American enterprises and enterprises within the Commonwealth to compete in the Canadian market.
