"Mobile telecommunications industry, I am also familiar with this. I am a mobile phone manufacturer. If there is a telecommunications business to cooperate, the exhibition will be better. Can you understand this?" Feng Yu put forward his own conditions.
His telecom acquisition in Canada is about to be concluded. Li Zeju has been in Canada these days, and it is still a cooperation between the two companies.
Feng Yu originally wanted to control it by himself, but since the Li family itself has this business and also wants to invest in places such as the United Kingdom and Australia, it is obviously more cost-effective for the two parties to join forces.
In terms of operation, it can be left to the Li family. They are better at it. Feng Yu can compound investments in two ways. One is to hold the shares of the Li family's Feldspar Group and indirectly hold the stocks of these companies. In addition, Feng Yu can also let Feng Yu Holdings Hold some stocks.
In this way, Feldspar seems to be the controlling party, but in fact, Feng Yu is the real controlling party.
Let the Li family work for him, and Feng Yu can make money easily, which is what he likes most.
It would be even better if we could enter the US telecommunications industry this time. They can achieve joint cooperation in many aspects of technical research and product sales and promotion, which can greatly enhance their voice in the entire industry.
In the past, the telecommunications business in the United States has undergone many changes in the past few years, but many companies that wanted to merge were ultimately blocked by the strong opposition of the American antitrust department.
You can slowly develop yourself to be number one in the world, that is your ability. But if you want to become number one in the world through mergers, even if you are number one in a certain country, that won't work.
In fact, the so-called opposition from the antitrust department is also the opposition from other competitors. They will use various means to influence the ruling of the antitrust department.
If Feng Yu acquires a communications company, he will not achieve a monopoly. However, if he can form alliances with Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong, etc., he can also effectively reduce costs and increase profits.
Obaniu looked at his staff, who was also stunned. They had not considered this situation. I have never heard of Feng Yu investing in the mobile telecommunications industry. They were not prepared for this before.
"Feng, I can't answer this right now, but I can go back and find out more about it, and then give you an answer as soon as possible."
In fact, Obama doesn't really want Feng Yu to invest in this, because it won't bring more jobs, more taxes, etc. to the United States. However, if the original shareholders sell their shares and are willing to invest in the United States, Other industries can still consider promoting it.
This is actually not Feng Yu's main purpose, he just mentioned it in passing. It's great if you can succeed, but it doesn't matter if you don't succeed.
But Feng Yu still looked disappointed: "Isn't this also possible? I don't seem to see any sincerity on your part."
"Feng, we hope that your investment will create more jobs for us, generate more tax revenue, and drive the development of other industries."
Obama's subtext is that our telecommunications industry is doing well now and we don't need your investment. And we ask you to spend money to invest, not to buy it. There is a fundamental difference.
"Okay, let me think about it, your current construction industry in the United States should be very bad, right?" Feng Yu knocked his head and looked like he was thinking.
"That's right, Feng, are you going to invest in the construction industry? Are you going to build office buildings, shopping malls or hotels?" Aubaniu was overjoyed. He also wanted to build a new one by himself because Feng Yu didn't like real estate.
This is better. It will not only stimulate the real estate industry, but also construction-related industries. It will definitely stimulate economic development and bring many job opportunities.
Feng Yu looked at Aubaniu in confusion: "When did I say that I was going to build a house? The construction industry I was talking about was port construction."
Yes, the port is Feng Yu's biggest goal and greatest benefit.
Why does Li Ren have a high international status even though his net worth is not that high? This is because Li Ren has a large amount of shares in six of the top ten ports in the world.
Moreover, its business covers 23 countries, more than 40 ports, and more than 200 berths. Many of the berths are among the best in the world and can accommodate those giant cargo ships.
In the future, China's ports will gradually become the largest and largest collection of ports in the world, and Hutchison Whampoa will participate in the construction and operation management of many of them.
The real estate around the port has also brought huge profits to Li Ren's company, and many of them are long-term and stable profits. After all, sea transportation is still the largest, most important and most economical way of transnational transportation in the world in terms of freight volume. It will definitely be so for a long time in the future. Airplanes do not have such a large transportation volume.
However, Li Ren wanted to invest in ports in the United States several times, but failed to do so. It's not that others don't want him to invest in the company, it's that they don't want him to participate in business transformation.
The best ports in the world are in Europe and Asia. The United States and even the entire Americas are not ranked high. The cargo ships docked at American ports were all the largest more than ten years ago, but now they can only be considered average.
Moreover, the port efficiency of the United States is very low, lacking some advanced cargo handling facilities such as large shore cranes, and even many infrastructures are backward, especially the West Coast, the area closest to Asian routes.
The United States' import and export trade has always been among the top in the world. Automobiles, electronics, aircraft, weapons, food, chemicals, etc. are the main export products. Most of the imported products are mineral raw materials, textiles, electronic components, etc.
Most of these mainly rely on sea transportation, but the United States does not have a port where large ships can dock. It is rare to see large ships with more than 8,000 standard containers docking in the United States.
Many ports in China have large berths that can dock 15,000 standard container ships, and some can even dock large cargo ships with 20,000 standard containers. The construction in the United States was very early. I didn't expect that shipping would evolve so fast. They are inherently lagging behind and are not willing to upgrade now because they can still make money at this time.
The government actually urged reconstruction there, but the port owners said the water level did not meet the conditions and was too shallow. But this is simply an excuse, because before Feng Yu was reborn, the ports on the west coast of the United States were able to dock large cargo ships with 18,000 standard containers after reconstruction.
If three large ports in the United States can be renovated, several berths for large ships can be created, and some infrastructure improvements can be added to improve loading and unloading efficiency, it will definitely be loved by many carriers and will also be of great benefit to the port trade in the United States. .
"Feng, where do you want to build the port?" Obanu asked tentatively.
"There are currently three places to choose from, namely Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland. Seattle and San Francisco can also be considered." Feng Yu said that these are large port cities on the west coast of the United States and are also the country's main Pacific shipping routes.
"Feng, we already have built ports in these places. Do you plan to rebuild them?"
"Yes, I think the ports in the United States are too small to accommodate large ships. This will have a serious impact on the import and export trade of the United States. So I decided to make some contributions to the construction of ports in the United States, build three large ports, and comprehensively Improve loading and unloading facilities and provide berths that can accommodate 20,000 standard container ships."
