Through the wealth life

Chapter 880 Public opinion
Kendi Jessie knew very well that the most important reason why they were able to swallow the largest single purchase contract alone this time was the conflict between the Lee Consortium and the United States, which gave them a chance.

Now there is a lot of noise in Hong Kong about the US government’s increase of tariffs on Bentley Group and Phoenix Group. Numerous Hong Kong media have criticized this incident and defended the Lee consortium. Some tabloids even called on Hong Kong citizens to boycott American products.

Kendi Jessie knew that this might be self-assessment. After all, the Lee consortium still has many products sold in the United States, and they would not take such extreme methods to fight back.

But no matter what, the products in the American market will definitely be affected in Xiangjiang, and even in the whole of Asia. Everyone is not very comfortable with the United States in terms of senses.

The power of public opinion is huge. When negative news about the United States is reported every day, people everywhere will have a sense of disgust for the United States, and at the same time, they will naturally sympathize with the disadvantaged. In the process of consumption, they will feel favor the weak side.

This weakness does not mean product quality, but the political and environmental disadvantages of both parties. When the quality is not much different, there will always be a group of people who choose to buy Phoenix Group and Bentley Group products instead of Motorola, GM, Ford, etc. .

The United States has introduced such a high tariff this time, which makes the outside world feel that similar products in the United States cannot be compared with Bentley and Phoenix Group products. In order to protect its domestic market, such a tariff policy was introduced.

The continuous reports of the Lee Consortium these days are to make citizens of all countries in the world think this is the case, so as to compete for the market in other regions.

At the same time, this kind of hegemonic behavior by the United States will worry all Asian companies. If they have a choice, they will definitely not choose the United States to cooperate.

These companies and families are worried that they will become the second Li’s consortium. Once they develop, they will be suppressed by the US consortium and the government. In the future, they will prevent their industries from being too dependent on the US market. They will actively cooperate with other parties Cooperate to mitigate future losses.

And this will be an opportunity for them in Western Europe. They never thought about following the United States all the time in Western Europe. If Eastern Europe did not pose a huge threat to their security, their Western Europe would be the biggest opponent of the United States.

At present, the European Community has many member states, and currently has many cooperation projects. For example, their Airbus is one of the cooperation projects, in order to form a joint force in the economy and compete with the United States for the world economic market. When Airbus was established, it was Going for Boeing.

Especially France, where he lives, has always been advocating national independence, and absolutely cannot become a vassal of the United States militarily and politically. As long as they unite in Western Europe and all countries work together, they will not worry about competition from any force.

Airbus has always hoped to deepen their interest with the Lee Consortium. They are very aware of the influence of the Lee Consortium in Asia. Once the Lee Consortium uses Airbus aircraft for all aviation aircraft, it will have a profound impact on airlines in various regions of Asia. .

Especially in the huge market of the mainland, it is entirely possible for this country to have tens of thousands of aircraft in the future. If Airbus can swallow most of such a number, such a scenario is unimaginable.

If they can really take over the aviation aircraft business in the mainland market, Airbus will completely suppress Boeing and become the top civil aviation aircraft manufacturing company in one fell swoop.

Kendy Jesse hopes that the relationship between the Lee consortium and the United States and the American consortium will be as bad as possible, so that Boeing will completely lose the aircraft orders of Xiangjiang Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airways, and their Airbus will be in Asia, especially Southeast Asia and Greater China. region dominates.

He said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, your products have encountered unfair treatment in the U.S. market. I have also heard about it. We are also very indignant at this kind of barrier protectionism. Some products are also on this list, such as our French Peugeot cars, West German Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Italian Ferrari and other products."

This time the focus of the United States is to target imported cars. Whether it is a Japanese car group or a Western European car group, they are the targets. You must know that the headquarters and registration of Li Guangyu Bentley Group are in England, and Bentley is also a member of the European Communist Party. body enterprise.

The United States and the Soviet Union have been in the middle of a cold war for these years, and a large amount of money has been invested in the military, so that the economic and high-tech development speed is far behind Japan, West Germany and other countries.

The trade deficit with Japan has been increasing year by year. Even if many policies have been adopted over the years to restrict Japanese products from entering the US market and subsidize domestic companies, this situation still cannot be reversed.

And the shameless thing about the United States is that it doesn't care about the trade agreements signed with other countries before. When they feel that the agreements are not applicable, they can tear up these agreements without hesitation and increase tariffs on companies in other countries.

Japan has been the most economically suppressed by the United States in recent years. In the past 20 years, it has received special treatment from the United States in many industries. Although Japan has also carried out some countermeasures, the effect is not very good.

His Li's consortium is even worse, the Japanese consortium is being suppressed, and the Japanese government will come forward and impose corresponding restrictions on some American industries. He has no one to help him out, at least for now, no one will come to help him out.

They can bear it in Western Europe, mainly because the US auto market is mainly Japanese cars and Bentley Group products have a huge market there, and the three major car groups in West Germany have a very low market share in the US, so they did not have much loss this time.

Although Li Guangyu Bentley Group is headquartered in England and belongs to the British automobile group, it can be said that Li Guangyu is from Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang is destined to return to the mainland in 97. The British government will not compete with the United States for an outsider.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "I have no indignation about this, but I am very happy and proud in my heart. My products can force the US government to increase tariffs, which shows that my products are very good. It makes the US government think that if they do not use this method, their domestic The industry in the same industry cannot compete with us, and a company needs to rely on the protection of the national government to survive, and these companies are destined to not last long."

Regarding Li Guangyu's words, Kendy Jesse was a little speechless. He had already seen these words in the newspaper today, which were what He Jin, the president of Phoenix Group, said at the press conference.

Kendi Jesse reads the English version of the newspaper, and he doesn't know Chinese characters. There is only one meaning in this statement, highlighting the excellence of the Phoenix mobile phone, and people who know the news will agree with this statement.

If the Phoenix mobile phone is not too good, why the United States has increased such a high tariff, it is obvious that Motorola cannot win the Phoenix mobile phone in the US market.

People who know the inside story know that the current quality of Phoenix mobile phones, Motorola and Nokia mobile phones is similar, but they don’t think so in Asia, especially this time the media group under the Li’s consortium has repeatedly bombarded public opinion, which will make more citizens feel that Phoenix mobile phones are inferior. Better than Motorola.
