Through the wealth life

Chapter 833 Shift of Center of Gravity
This time, Li Guangyu began to investigate several countries in Western Europe, and invested such a huge sum of money in England, which also marked that the Lee Consortium officially shifted its development focus to the Western European market. market, thinking of aggressively entering the European and American markets.

The Lee Consortium has also moved from a regional consortium to the world, competing with European and American consortiums in various markets.

Even though Li Guangyu always hoped that the Lee Consortium could compete with the world's top consortia in the 90s, the development of Li's industry and the changes in the world situation obviously would not depend on his will.

For example, this time, he can only aggressively enter the Western European market in advance. This is a good opportunity for him, and he is not willing to miss this time. If the British government did not intend to carry out privatization reforms, how could he have the opportunity to use British Telecom Group won.

Now, although the British Telecom Group will be regulated by the British government, this will not affect his operation of the group, and it will not affect his profit.

As the business scope of the Li's consortium becomes wider and wider, there will be more and more competition between the Li's consortium and European and American consortiums. Obviously, Li Guangyu will not let his group stick to the Asian region and be in a passive defense.

Although there is still a big gap between the Lee Consortium and some consortiums in Japan, the United States, and Western Europe, the industries under the Li Consortium are basically not listed, and it is impossible for the wolves of Wall Street to eat up the Li Consortium.

The most important thing is that the companies under the Li's Consortium rarely operate with loans, and they don't have too much pressure on funds, and they are highly resistant to risks.

As long as he survived these few years, after 87 and 89, the Li's consortium would no longer worry about funds. At that time, the mainland market was already good, and Li Guangyu had enough confidence to compete with those consortiums.

Li's consortium currently has such a good development opportunity, Li Guangyu has to thank the Japanese and American consortiums, it is they who hold each other back, allowing Li Guangyu to open up markets in Southeast Asia.

If there is no American consortium, the Southeast Asian market will only become the private territory of several major Japanese consortia, instead of Japan's competition with the American consortium in the North American market, the market here will also be occupied by the American consortium, and the development of the Lee consortium will be even more difficult.

On the other hand, several countries in Western Europe are currently in a weak economy. Some consortia in Western Europe are now recharging their energy and preparing to get a share of the next government economic reform. At this time, they don't have much energy to compete with the Li's consortium.

In addition, the current main strength of the Lee Consortium is in England, and those consortiums in Western Europe do not have too many interest disputes with the Li Consortium. Now the Li Consortium is not under too much pressure.

Moreover, Li Guangyu is more likely to make friends with large Western European powers. The main competitor of the Lee Consortium in the future will be the American consortium. As long as Li Guangyu intends to enter the high-tech field, competition with the American consortium will be unavoidable.

Regardless of the future chip industry, the mobile phone industry, the Internet industry, and the communications industry will compete with the American consortium.

It is obvious that the Li's consortium alone cannot conduct a commercial war with the American consortium. Li Guangyu not only needs to form an alliance with the Southeast Asian consortium and the Japanese consortium, but also needs some allies in Western Europe, so as to ensure that the products of the Li's consortium can be sold in these markets. Restricted, with this vast market, there will be no worries about the American consortium manipulating Congress to specifically target the Li family consortium.

At present, the Lee Consortium has two major competitors in Western Europe, one is the Carrefour Group in France, and the other is the Volkswagen Group in West Germany.

The Carrefour Group was established by the Fournier family and the Deforet family. Now the two families have a good influence in France. Although the two families do not occupy a lot of shares in the Carrefour Group after the group’s listing, Carrefour is still the two families. call the shots.

The Volkswagen Group is currently held by the West German Federal Government and the State Government each holding 20% ​​of the shares, and it is stipulated that other individuals shall not hold more than 5% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group, so the Volkswagen Group is firmly controlled by the government.

At present, among the automobile groups in Western Europe, the biggest competition of the Bentley Group is the Volkswagen Group, especially in the mainland market. At present, the competition between the two is quite fierce.

And with the passage of time, the Lee consortium, Logia, and Ericsson Group will also become competitors. Whether it is the mobile phone industry or the communication industry, it is impossible for several companies to give in for the market.

With the continuous increase of Li's consortium's industries, there will be more competitors in the future. Facing the complicated world situation, Li Guangyu can only rely on his superficial understanding of his previous life to avoid major losses to his consortium. .

Leaving aside the dangerous situation that Li's consortium will face in the future, the problems on Xiangjiang's side are giving Li Guangyu a headache.

Li Guangyu had just had breakfast with his family in the morning, when Gan Qin reported to him what happened in Xiangjiang.

Li Guangyu knew that HSBC and Standard Chartered would definitely not want to sit on the sidelines, but he did not expect to make a big fuss about the Tianyu Bank issue this time.

The focus of this attack is that Tianyu Bank is not a listed company and is not transparent enough to the outside world. Letting Tianyu Bank have the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars is irresponsible to Hong Kong Financial and the more than 500 million citizens of Hong Kong.

As the flagship Tianyu Financial Group of Li's consortium, Li Guangyu never thought of listing this group.

Now, public opinion is very unfavorable for Tianyu Bank to win the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. Since Tianyu Financial Group is controlled by Li Guangyu personally, it is not subject to strict supervision by government departments like listed companies, and HSBC and Standard Chartered are fueling the flames. Zooming in, it is likely that Tianyu Bank will not be able to obtain the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.

Li Guangyu would not change his mind just because of the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. As the center of the Lee Consortium, Tianyu Bank had a strategic position for the Li Consortium. Li Guangyu would never list Tianyu Financial Group.

Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin: "You inform Li Xuemei that she will be fully responsible for Xiangjiang's affairs. If Tianyu Bank fails, it will be replaced by Xiangjiang Bank. Xiangjiang Bank can go public."

At the beginning, Li Guangyu also intended to support Hong Kong Bank to win the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars. Hong Kong Bank has a greater advantage. This bank has many shareholders. Once the Hong Kong issue is resolved, this bank will be listed, so there is no need to worry about these public opinions .

The senior executives of the Lee consortium hoped that it would be better for Tianyu Bank to win this interest. Although the biggest beneficiary of Xiangjiang Bank is Li Guangyu, compared with Tianyu Bank's full ownership, Li Guangyu's shareholding in Xiangjiang Bank is too small. No, this is not in the interests of the Li Family Group.

You must know that the Lee Consortium has paid a huge amount of effort and price for the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars this time. Now that the Xiangjiang Consortium is enjoying the results, the senior management of the Li Consortium is at least not very happy.

It’s just that the current public opinion is indeed extremely unfavorable to Tianyu Bank. The citizens of Xiangjiang are not at ease when a bank that is not listed on the stock market obtains such rights and interests. As a last resort, the Li Consortium can only let Xiangjiang Bank take it This interest is gone.

After all, Li Guangyu over there is also the biggest beneficiary. Tianyu Bank does not want to go public, so it can only adopt this method.
