Through the wealth life

Chapter 1368

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Guangyu, Zheng Yutong, Gu Zhenfu and others held talks with the heads of the four major families of Mitsui, Iwasaki, Sumitomo and Yasuda, as well as Zheng Mengjiu and Li Jianxi at the Peninsula Hotel.

There are three main points of discussion between the parties this time. One is still aimed at American companies, encircling and suppressing American companies in the Asian market.

The second is the cooperation in the African market. Over the years, the Lee Consortium has focused on developing East Africa, while the Japanese and Korean consortiums have developed West Africa.

At present, both East Africa and West Africa are developing well, but the transportation between the two sides is not very convenient, and the economic cooperation between the two sides is very little.

And the third is the issue of cooperation in the inland market. The inland market is huge, and neither of them can monopolize every industry, and it is impossible for them to monopolize.

The cooperation of several parties is beneficial to everyone. After all, the mainland market is not only limited to their companies, but also has a favorable time, place and people. Once the other party develops too large, these companies may be forced to withdraw from the mainland market.

After so many years of development, although the three parties are still the strongest in the Japanese consortium, Li Guangyu and his side rank second, and the Korean consortium ranks last.

However, Li Guangyu's side and the South Korean consortium are rapidly increasing in strength, and now these two parties cannot be suppressed by the Japanese consortium if they want to.

The three parties are now cooperating and competing. When there are other powerful competitors in the Asian and even global markets, the three parties will unite to encircle and suppress other competitors.

After these opponents are suppressed, the three parties will begin to suppress each other's companies in order to gain more market share.

Moreover, the three-party industries are relatively homogeneous, especially in the automotive industry, retail industry, electronic semiconductor industry, and home appliance industry. Competition in many markets is very fierce.

The Korean and Japanese consortiums compete fiercely in the shipbuilding industry, and compete fiercely in major markets.

At the meeting, Li Guangyu said aloud: "For more than 20 years, we have shared weal and woe together. When Wall Street in the United States attacked Asian stock markets and finance several times, we united to ensure the stability of Asian stock markets and financial order.

The 21st century has arrived, and I hope we can carry out more cooperation and reduce some unnecessary disputes.

Although our Asian economy has made amazing progress in recent years, the current global economy is still dominated by the West, especially the major American consortiums. We are not their opponents one-on-one. Break each one. "

After Li Guangyu started, all parties spoke on the issue of American consortiums, expressing their views on how to suppress American consortium companies in markets outside the United States.

Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, is currently the fastest growing region in the world, and it is also the basic market of the three parties. They never want the market here to be occupied by American or Western European consortiums and companies.

The first is to defend against the enemy, and then the three parties will compete for the market share inside.

In particular, some countries and regions, taking advantage of the strong financial power of the three parties in Asia, avoid being monopolized by one party in their internal economies, and will introduce the three parties to keep the three parties in a relatively balanced state.

For example, Vietnam is doing this. Over the years, not only the Lee consortium has invested there, but the Japanese consortium and the Korean consortium have also invested there. It is impossible for any party to monopolize the Vietnamese market.

So in Asia, the three parties are currently suppressing and squeezing out European and American companies and products, and the rest depends on the capabilities of each party and the attitude of the location, and occupy as much market share as possible.

This time, Li Guangyu and the others want to target the U.S. auto industry in Asia and make the U.S. auto industry withdraw from Asia as much as possible.

After that, Li Guangyu and the others discussed the cooperation between East Africa and West Africa, and planned to build a railway artery between the two sides.

Li Jianxi said: "Currently, there is a gap between the West African market influenced by us and the East African market influenced by Mr. Li Guangyu, and the railway must cross other forces.

Now we have two options. One is to choose Uganda in East Africa, which is connected by Nigeria across Cameroon, Central Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The second is from Niger across Chad, Sudan to Ethiopia.

Considering the current internal situation in Sudan, I personally recommend choosing the first option. "

In fact, the two lines are not very good. The internal political situation in the Central African countries and Sudan is not too stable, but the other countries are better than Sudan.

Moreover, Li Guangyu and the others are capitalists, not politicians or philanthropists. When investing in the construction of this trans-African railway artery, it is natural to consider the issue of income.

Especially after the economic and resource situation in the country's interior, this is the basis for them to choose the direction of the railway.

The internal situation in Cameroon, Central Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the first direction is relatively stable, and the internal resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are quite rich.

As for the backward economic and basic development of the DRC, the major consortiums are not worried about this. Thinking about the situation in East and West Africa ten years ago, it is not much better than them. It is not because of the large investment of several major consortiums.

In fact, the two proposed by Li Jianxi are actually only one. No one wants to intervene in Sudan's current problems.

The East African Union has stationed a large number of troops on the border between Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan to prevent the internal situation in Sudan from affecting them.

Even a brigade of fighter jets on Bentley Island (12 Mirage 2000-5s, plus an electronic reconnaissance plane) is stationed at a Ugandan military base not far from the Sudanese border.

In addition, a special mixed reinforcement battalion on Bentley Island is stationed at a military base not far from the Kenya-Sudan border, and a mechanized infantry battalion is stationed at an army military base [-] kilometers south of the Sudan border in Uganda.

A 12000-strong division of the East African Union Joint Force is currently undergoing training. It is expected to form combat effectiveness in the second half of this year. At that time, a special mixed group will arrive at the border of several countries of the East African Union and Sudan to maintain the security of the East African Union.

The United States is currently intervening in Sudan, and Li Guangyu and the others are unwilling to jump in, lest they get burned.

Li Guangyu said aloud: "I have no objection to connecting Uganda with Cameroon, Central Africa, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It's just that in these three countries, we will focus on investing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. You two are responsible for Central Africa and Cameroon. What do you think?"

As soon as Li Guangyu said his words, he was opposed by the heads of several major families in Japan and South Korea. They also knew the situation in these three countries very well. Congo has the most abundant gold minerals. How could they be willing to give up the Congo gold market to the Li consortium.

After some fierce disputes, this time the markets of the three countries are not divided into specific ownership, and everyone develops together, and each can occupy a small market according to its own ability.

Moreover, the funds for this railway were also shared among the three parties, and a joint-venture railway company was established to be responsible for the construction and operation of this railway.

Afterwards, they discussed the mainland market. The Li's consortium focused on developing the southern market, while the Korean and Japanese consortia focused on the northern market to avoid too much conflict between the two parties' operations.

In addition, several parties have reached a cooperation agreement on the 3G network to jointly formulate 3G standards, at least in Asia to occupy a dominant position and break the current 2G American and European standards.
