Through the wealth life

Chapter 875 Cao Weiqing's Worries
After breakfast the next day, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to the Sanatorium and Hospital together. Today is the day when He Zuozhi is discharged from the hospital. Even though the consortium has a lot of troubles at present, Li Guangyu still takes Cao Weiqing to pick up He Zuozhi to be discharged from the hospital.

Li Guangyu's affection for He Zuozhi was very deep. During the period when he just crossed over, it was He Zuozhi who silently supported him behind the scenes, so that the Li's consortium could develop steadily in the early stage.

The business world has never been a peaceful industry. It is full of intrigue, intrigue, and even some extreme things. Without He Zuozhi's help and protection behind him, whether his industry can survive in the early stage is a problem.

Although the things in the United States gave him some headaches, compared with He Zuozhi, those things were nothing at all.

In the early hours of Hong Kong time this morning, the U.S. Congress passed a tariff bill, involving hundreds of products imported from the U.S., mainly electronics and automobiles.

This time, the pressure from the major Japanese conglomerates is even greater, and 80% of the products are aimed at Japanese products.

Japan's Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi and other automobiles, Sony, Panasonic and other electronic product companies are their main targets.

Li's consortium, Bentley Group and Phoenix Group, are also on the list. Their Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, and Lotus brands are subject to 40% tariffs, and Phoenix mobile phones are subject to a high tariff of 50%.

This makes the Bentley Group's luxury brand cars have no price advantage in the competition with Lincoln and Cadillac. Coupled with the continued weakness of the U.S. economy over the years, the Bentley Group's share in the U.S. auto market will further decline.

Not to mention mobile phones. With the current tariffs, the Phoenix Group’s market share in the United States will drop from the current 20% to single digits. The Logia Phoenix Group is facing a similar dilemma. Logia has not escaped this time The fate of being increased tariffs.

As a businessman, Li Guangyu is extremely disgusted with this kind of government-style local protectionism, which will make his products face unfair competition. Originally, the products have some advantages, but because the local government deliberately favors the target, it will make his products at an absolute disadvantage.

Li Guangyu knew very well that the Lee Consortium would continue to face such situations in the future, and now he needed to accumulate experience in this area so that he could face it calmly in the future.

Cao Weiqing also knew the news from the United States, and now the major newspapers in Xiangjiang are reporting this matter. Although he does not manage the affairs of the Li Family Consortium, Cao Weiqing still understands the importance of the American market to the Li Family Consortium. It can be seen in financial meetings.

Phoenix Group is a group that Li Guangyu attaches great importance to. In the future, it will be the pillar industry of Li's consortium. It has just had a good start, and the American consortium and the government will give them a head-on blow.

On the car heading to the Sanatorium and Hospital, Li Guangyu beside Cao Weiqing said: "Guangyu, now that the U.S. Congress has passed the tariff adjustment proposal, I'm afraid it won't come down in a short time. Our cars and mobile phones will be sold in the U.S. in the future." The market development pressure will be very high, and instead of competing with them in the US market, we might as well focus on the Western European and Commonwealth markets, where the pressure will be much less.”

At present, apart from Xingyue Group in Japan, Pengyu Group in Pengcheng, Dongfang Semiconductor Group in Baodao, and Xinghong Sports Group in the United States, more than a dozen other groups will enjoy some preferential policies within the Commonwealth, especially in the Commonwealth of Nations. Canada, Australia and other countries, the Commonwealth is a very large market.

In Western Europe, since most of the Lee Consortium's headquarters and registered places are in Xiangjiang and London, they are not likely to specifically target the Li Consortium, especially since the Li Consortium has brought them enough benefits. Airbus is Britain, France and Germany cooperated to establish against the American civil aviation aircraft manufacturing company.

Whether it is now or in the future, the risks and pressures faced by the Lee Consortium in Western Europe and the Commonwealth are far less than those faced in the United States.

It's not that Cao Weiqing is not clear about Li Guangyu's strategy, it's just that the mainland's reform and opening up is still in its early stages, and the huge market potential has not yet been released. At present, relying on the mainland market can't make the Li's consortium grow rapidly.

In the future, the mainland market will definitely be the core development area of ​​the Li Family Consortium, but that will be ten or twenty years later. At present, they still need to firmly grasp the western market and stabilize the Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets, so that the development of the Li Family Consortium will not suffer a greater blow.

As for the markets in Japan and South Korea, Cao Weiqing never thought that they would become the core market for the long-term development of the Lee Consortium. The consortiums in these two places are also not a fuel-efficient lamp. For example, the current Bentley Group has a very large market share in these two countries. The nationals of these two countries are more willing to buy auto products from their own country, and are not very enthusiastic about foreign products.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the company's affairs. I know how to solve them. Your task now is to take good care of the three babies. This time it's just an increase in tariffs on our cars and mobile phones, and it won't affect the development of our industry. fundamental."

Now Cao Weiqing is alone with three children, even with the help of mother He and servants, she is still very tired, Li Guangyu doesn't want her to worry about the group affairs.

This time the United States increased tariffs on its products. It would be a lie to say that it has no impact. At present, the United States is the largest market, which is enough to attract companies from all over the world to enter and share profits.

The major conglomerates in Japan have been under special pressure from American consortiums and the government since the end of the 60s. Why are they still attacking the US market? No matter how the US government restricts and suppresses them, they are unwilling to lose the US market. The benefits are too great. , so that several major consortiums in Japan are unwilling to lose here.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Li Guangyu is also unwilling to lose his market in the United States. Fortunately, he has experience to learn from. Several major consortiums in the United States are already familiar with such suppression in the United States. Li Guangyu can definitely borrow their successful experience to ensure that Its own products will not lose too much in the US market, and it may be able to increase its market share in the future.

Look at the Toyota Group, which is becoming more and more powerful in the United States. Facing the suppression and restrictions of the United States, it began to establish production sites in the United States as early as 79, and also entered into a joint venture with General Motors Group to allow Toyota to import Quantity and tariffs will not be limited.

Cao Weiqing knew that Li Guangyu didn't want him to worry about it, but as Li Guangyu's wife and the executive officer of the Li family consortium, how could he not care about it now? Compared with them, the Consortium's consortium is like the gap between a young child and a mature man.

Many consortiums in the United States have a history of hundreds of years, and the period of rapid development of Li's consortium was when Li Guangyu accepted it. Regardless of whether Li Guangyu's grandfather or father was at the helm, Li's business was nothing more than a clothing foundry.

In just a few years, Li Guangyu developed the family business into a comprehensive consortium spanning finance, automobiles, real estate, video games, retail supermarkets, hotels, entertainment media, etc.

This is a miracle in the world. This time the United States deliberately targeted their industry for this reason. The Li Consortium developed too fast under the leadership of Li Guangyu. I felt threatened deeply.
