Chapter 913
With the arrival of the French foreign minister and the mayor of Paris, it is difficult for Li Guangyu to make some irritating remarks against the demonstrators.

The next matter will be resolved by these two slowly. Li Guangyu felt quite uncomfortable when he came to France this time and encountered such a thing. Although his actions this time did not match his identity, he did not Will regret it.

Naturally, the reporters from all walks of life would not give up interviewing Li Guangyu, but they were all rejected by Gan Qin.

When lunch was approaching, the foreign minister and the mayor of Paris entered the hotel and had a detailed talk with Li Guangyu.

The foreign minister said: "Mr. Li, on behalf of the government, I would like to apologize to you for the troubles caused to you by individual citizens in our country. France and the Li consortium have cooperated and friendship for many years. I also hope that this incident will not become an obstacle to our deepening cooperation. .”

Now that France is about to carry out privatization reforms, it urgently needs the entry of foreign capital, but the Lee consortium, as a guest invited by Prime Minister Chirac, has suffered such treatment.

Once the Li's consortium stops negotiating acquisition matters at this time, or even chooses to divest, it will have extremely bad effects. More foreign capital will carefully consider the investment environment in France, and they don't want to become the second of the Li's consortium.

The current economic development in France is not optimistic, otherwise there will be no phenomenon of co-governance between left and right.

The reason why Chirac was promoted to the position of prime minister is that he hopes that he can bring some changes to the French economy and learn from the economic reforms of the United Kingdom to activate the development of the domestic economy.

The drastic privatization reforms in the United Kingdom over the years have gradually brought the British economy out of the quagmire of economic development. Many enterprises have resumed development and profit after privatization. Not only does the government no longer need to provide financial subsidies to these enterprises, but because of the development of these enterprises A lot of taxes have been increased.

The several groups acquired by the Li consortium in England are good examples. Whether it is Bentley, Heung Kong Telecom or the Star Group that came over, they have brought good tax revenue to the UK, especially the Bentley Group and British Telecom Group. England brought a lot of jobs.

Although the competition between the left and right camps in France on the direction of economic development is very fierce, the original intention of reversing the current weak domestic economic situation is the same.

Even if the development of a monopoly consortium like the Li's Consortium does not conform to the purpose of the leftist camp, but now that they have prepared to privatize some enterprises, they will not object to Li Guangyu's arrival, let alone expel the power of the Li's Consortium.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "There are all kinds of people in the world, each with their own cognition and ideas. I will not feel that the entire French people are hostile to me just because of some people's remarks. I believe that most French people The Chinese people welcome me very much. As one of the leaders in Western Europe, France has always been a market that I attach great importance to, and I believe that our cooperation between the two sides can make us mutually beneficial and win-win."

Li Guangyu would not be so stupid as to give up the French market because of the troubles caused by a few French people. The more troublesome these people made, the more he wanted to buy French companies and let some of their proud companies become his own industries. A few pale words can hit their faces even more.

Li Guangyu just wants them to know that the sick man of East Asia they call is making a lot of profits in their country, especially some people are clamoring in their mouths, but they are buying a lot of his products in action, which will be very serious. Interesting things.

There are many places where this kind of thing happens. They shout patriotism every day and want to boycott this and that, but they are quite honest in their actions. They still use what should be used, and some even order months in advance or even increase the price.

There are only two markets that Li Guangyu is afraid of, one is Japan and the other is South Korea. Many of his products in these two regions cannot occupy any market at all. negligible.

The appeal here is the strongest, and there is no need for any mobilization at all. Buying domestic products has become their first choice. They also look for their own domestic products first, and then choose foreign products.

If Hengyu Supermarket Group had not cooperated with Ito-Yokado in Japan, it is estimated that it would have been squeezed out of the Japanese market long ago.

"Thank you very much Li Shengsheng for your understanding. We, Mr. President, look forward to meeting you in his office at three o'clock in the afternoon. I wonder if Mr. Li has time?"

"Thank you very much for Mr. Mitterrand's invitation. I will go to the presidential palace on time in the afternoon."

After discussing the council, the foreign minister and the mayor of Paris bid farewell to Li Guangyu. Although Li Guangyu asked them to have lunch together, both of them declined because of their busy schedules.

After sending the two away, Gan Qin said with some concern: "Li Sheng, the problem this time may not be small. Many high-level officials and parliamentarians in France must be dissatisfied with us. I'm afraid there will be no problems with our acquisition in France in a short time. progress."

This time France's reputation in Asia has been damaged a lot. Regardless of whether it is the main cause of the Lee Consortium, this incident is all because of the Li Consortium. Many people will directly transfer their anger to the Li Consortium.

Originally, there was no shortage of voices against privatization in France. After this incident, the contradictions will become more acute. Li's consortium's easy acquisition of a group is tantamount to nonsense.

The biggest problem is that Li's consortium acquired a group. If the employees of the group objected, the problem would be even bigger. The acquisition of such a group would not bring any benefits at all.

Li Guangyu said: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to worry too much. France has never been our main market in Western Europe. Our focus has always been on England. Whether it was in the past or in the future, this positioning will never change. It is best to win in the side market, and you don’t need to be too disappointed if you can’t win, and France will not be the springboard to enter Eastern Europe in the future.”

In order to seize the Eastern European market in the future, the current neutral country Austria is Li Guangyu's best choice, and France is not in his plan.

The reason why Li Guangyu attaches great importance to the French market is that in the future the European Union will mainly be driven by Britain, France and Germany, and the French market is indeed a good one-sided market in Western Europe.

But this will not be the reason for him to focus on France. Even in the 21st century, many industries here are still firmly controlled by the government. It is incomparable with the British market. In England, he can control more industries, and many Private capital is also more willing to invest in England.

Compared with France, the economic transformation in Eastern Europe will be more open in the future, and private capital in many industries can get involved. Li Guangyu will not spend too much energy in the French market, and there may be a thankless situation here.

This is a proud nation. Even though they were beaten a bit miserably in the two world wars, their inherent arrogance still feels good about themselves.

Moreover, strikes in Western Europe happened from time to time, and Li Guangyu was unwilling to let such a terrible thing happen to his own company.

This will be more of his sales market, and will definitely not become his large-scale manufacturing market. Li Guangyu only trusts Greater China and Northeast Asia in terms of production, and he does not trust Southeast Asia.
