Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Whether it was meeting with elites and wealthy people in finance, media, automobiles, or the Internet technology industry in Silicon Valley, Qu Li was asked about his views on the struggle between the two countries. Why not immigrate to the United States?

The matter itself is not complicated. Qu Li responded publicly on Twitter: "History tells us that the collapse of a powerful empire often starts from within. No one in this world can defeat the beautiful country, except yourselves."

"The goal of flower growers has never been to surpass the United States. Our pursuit has always been to be a better version of ourselves..."

"I think the United States must accept the reality that the future world will be multi-polar and diverse. Letting the American people understand a more authentic China and Chinese culture will be helpful to the formation of a pluralistic world."

Qu Li's words are very unpleasant to listen to, just like a crooked nut trying to teach you how to behave. It is an unacceptable thing for the American daddy who is used to being king and hegemony, including the people of the big country.

Fortunately, Americans also advocate individual struggle. Qu Li has a lot of blood and defense. He has been criticized a lot, but many people also agree with his statement, and the Internet is very noisy.

They argued with each other, and Qu Li continued to do his own things and take care of his children. Although Liu Yifei said she didn't want his things and didn't want her child to have his last name, that was her business and had nothing to do with Qu Li, don't you think so.

It's a pity that Qu Li can't think of any industry that can be passed down for a hundred years. At most, he can set up a trust fund for his child to ensure his medical education and initial entrepreneurial capital.

This is all we can do for the time being. Shortly after the Spring Festival, Qu Li went to the branches of several companies in the United States, such as the CEO of Shopify, the person in charge of Time in North America, and the CEO of Honor North America, etc., to learn about overseas operations.

Then he left the United States and flew to Japan. The American daddy was not crazy enough to restrict his personal safety and freedom. Maybe he didn't find a good excuse.

Japan still respects the strong and basically accepted the reality of Qu Li's acquisition of Mitsubishi Motors. The Japanese media discussed the changes of Mitsubishi Motors in recent years and continued Qu Li's consistent style of practicing basic skills first. The two companies exchanged senior management, strengthened technical cooperation, reduced costs, increased profits, and the market value rose to more than 5 billion US dollars.

Judging from the sales volume of Mitsubishi Motors, this market value is a bit low, so Japanese investors are cautiously optimistic about the Future Mitsubishi Motors Alliance, because the thunder within the Renault-Nissan Alliance finally exploded, and CEO Ghosn was arrested.

Because of Qu Li's intrusion, many people at home and abroad are worried that Japan will burn bridges and find excuses to lock him up after building Mitsubishi Motors. Whether Qu Li is afraid of him, of course he is, but isn't it more dangerous to go to the United States?

For multinational companies, some risks must be taken. Even if they know that the probability of losing money is more than 60%, if they don't cooperate with Mitsubishi Motors, how can they produce cars in Mexico and Thailand? How to quickly enter the Southeast Asian and Asia-Pacific markets?

If issues such as return on investment are not taken into consideration, Qu Li has achieved his goal of acquiring Mitsubishi Motors and quickly promoted promising cars to the world. The rest is just profit, not to mention "completing" the engine. Short board.

5Q's overseas sales doubled last year. If it relies on the company's own accumulation, it is hard to say whether it can do so. You must know that 5Q's cars are not cheap in underdeveloped areas.

Focusing on Japan's best-selling minicars, it can now be produced. CMGE will share the Fuyao architecture with Mitsubishi Motors to a certain extent. Now Qu Li is going to Japan to understand the various difficulties faced by the cooperation between the two companies and to resolve the conflicts. If it cannot be resolved, then solve the problems of the people who created them.

The other thing is to meet with the senior executives of Itochu and other companies in Japan. Tianming Fund is the major shareholder of these two companies. Qu Li has invested in Itochu Business for more than 10 years. Honor and Shopee used to rely heavily on this comprehensive trading company for overseas logistics. Now, Jumei Logistics has gradually grown.

The ten-year cooperation has allowed Qu Li's influence to penetrate into this comprehensive trading company. If he is willing, he can join the company's board of directors to a large extent. However, now is not the best time. He wants to wait for the two countries to Conflicts were further aroused and then reconciled.

The current exchange rate with the U.S. dollar is about 110 yen per U.S. dollar. He forgot the price when he bought the yen, but the exchange rate during the subprime mortgage crisis was 80 yen. His investment must have depreciated. Fortunately, Itochu's stock rose. Sony's stock, which was invested with low-interest borrowed money, rose nearly six times.

Generally speaking, Qu Li's investment in Japan is quite successful, so some people in Japan think that cooperation with Qu Li can bring success. Anyway, the closed and exclusive Japanese people do not reject cooperation with Qu Li. This is the biggest success.

I don’t know who slandered Qu Li for liking young and beautiful girls, so much so that the “friends” he made in Japan really thought that was the case and made arrangements for him, including bathing in hot springs and learning Japanese in the middle of the night, which made him powerful. rise.

Although celebrity idols are beautiful, there are still more beautiful girls gathering in capital. In the past, finance and real estate, now IT and the Internet, as well as state-owned assets and undertakings, the government is another matter.

In a country like Japan where the gap between rich and poor is not big, if the society has not evolved to a certain extent, then the only reason left is that the society is relatively solid. Think about how many of their female artists think Tokyo is very hot. In this case, they have to say The society is very progressive, but it is not convincing at all.

The Japanese media is very strange. There are laws restricting the media from spreading rumors, but they often only tell half-truths in their domestic reports, which is a little better than the British BiBC. However, long-term misleading has caused many Japanese people to have a bad impression of the Chinese people. , until they come to China to work, live, and travel...

The Japanese women who can communicate with Qu Li either understand Chinese or English. They are all relatively good and have no prejudice. Their gentleness makes people feel comfortable.

Qu Li has little interest in resolving Japan's prejudice against Chinese people. After all, there are still many things that have not been communicated well between the two countries, such as Ryukyu's independence. If the relationship between the two countries is too good, how will Ryukyu be protected then?

After leaving Japan, I flew to Kimchi Country. This developed country is of course most famous for its 10,000-year history, but that has nothing to do with Qu Li. Now Wen is in charge, and the relationship between the two countries is relatively harmonious. Qu Li The operations of several Li companies in Kimchi Country are fairly normal.

Compared with Japanese automobile companies' rejection of electric vehicles, Kimchi country Hyundai and Kia are not so stubborn and are actively developing pure electric vehicles. Especially after Geometry and Tesla successively entered the Kimchi country market, the market's interest in pure electric vehicles finally exploded.

In 2018, Geometry Saab’s monthly sales in Kimchi Country once exceeded a thousand vehicles, and the two brands combined were slightly more than Tesla. Kimchi Country’s subsidies have finally benefited Geometry Auto, so many people in Kimchi Country say it’s unfair because there are no domestic subsidies for Korean electric vehicles.

Compared with Japan, the car market in Kimchi Country is relatively friendly. The monthly sales volume of Geometry in Japan is only two to three hundred, but the Saab hybrid is more popular. With ultra-low fuel consumption and a user experience that far exceeds that of Toyota hybrid, the monthly sales volume Expected to exceed 1,000

However, some problems with DMi also emerged, such as high-speed stalling, limited EV, etc., and it almost required a large-scale recall. Later, the problem was solved through OTA upgrade. While demonstrating its strong technical strength, it also caused countries to start to amend their laws and Certain OTA upgrade behaviors are defined as recalls.

The current achievements of CMOS Geometry in the Japanese and Korean markets are quite reasonable, and consumers are still very tolerant of new technologies. Consumers in both countries have basically accepted the positioning of Tesla and Geometry as industry leaders.

Qu Li's trip to Japan and South Korea was mainly to appease the local people in charge, asking them not to rush to sell cars, pay attention to user feedback, work steadily, and maintain a good brand image. They are not short of money now, can persist for a long time, and are not afraid of failure... (This chapter over)
