Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 745 Trip to Russia

Seeing that the Golden State Warriors had an advantage in the competition with the Cavaliers, the NBA Finals reached the final stage, and there might be only one game left. At this time, Qu Li suddenly gave up on deceiving the Americans and flew to Russia.

Qu Li was invited to the St. Petersburg Economic Conference that was about to be held, and he agreed. He couldn't break his promise. In order to meet with Russian senior officials, he came to Russia in advance and visited the General Motors factory acquired by Geometry Futures, which is also in St. Petersburg.

The Russian market is not the focus of Geometry Futures, but it can be entered at a low cost, so why reject it? No matter how bad things are here, the social order is still better than in South America and Mexico.

Perhaps because of being forced to leave, the preparations before the handover between Qiancheng and GM were not done well, so that many things have not been negotiated now. This factory continues to produce cars for GM. As for the confidentiality requirements, who cares?

Qu Li decided to change the old Qiancheng CS6 and CS8 into CMA Fuyao architecture models, build a super factory in Xingsha, and gradually transfer the original production lines to other countries. However, these two cars are still being renovated and the older models are still in production. Adjustments at this time will have a big impact.

There are also regions with different climates, which require local adaptation. For example, Russia has extremely low temperatures in winter and needs insulation, and Southeast Asia has very high summer temperatures and needs cooling. Local adaptation takes time, but the opportunity comes suddenly, so we have to seize it as soon as possible. …

Because he accepted the talents left by General Motors, Qu Li had some understanding of the Russian business environment. Corruption problems are so deep-rooted that even large companies like them can only adapt. Well, Honor Company has already had a similar report on this.

However, Qu Li is firmly opposed to bribery, because you don't know whether overseas executives are corrupt themselves or are satisfying the needs of certain groups of people. Therefore, Qu Li would rather use a more costly solution than let the company enter the gray area.

Due to time constraints, Qu Li did not meet with local officials. The economic meeting was held immediately. Glory, Time, and Future all arranged for people to come over. Qu Li unexpectedly met Ali Ma Yun. Their AliExpress was in Russia. Take advantage of.

Although Ma Yun is well-known as Ma Daba in China, not many people in Russia know him. On the contrary, Qu Li is really capable. The underwater dance "Kun" has more than one billion views worldwide, not only setting a record, It has also become a cultural phenomenon.

Qu Li's identity as a writer, singer, and director has been widely discussed. Some people say that he should be a thinker. Otherwise, how could he have summed up so many theories: empathy, first principles, asymmetric risk...

In Russia, many people are fans of Honor and have bought a three-piece Honor set. There are also a small number of people who are fans of Qu Li personally. There are many big guys who take the initiative to communicate with him on the spot. The organizer wanted Qu Li to speak on stage, but he refused.

Shopee’s focus is on mature markets, but it started building a global procurement system last year and will sooner or later enter the e-commerce retail market here. WeChat and Instagram have many users in Russia.

The country's head of state chose to meet with Qu Li. The two talked for a while. The world's richest man still has this face. The two parties discussed entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship, and the advantages of new energy vehicles...

Qu Li took the opportunity to express some of his concerns about investing in Russia, and the promises he received were quite reassuring. As for how effective it is, it's unknown. Of course, I will meet many people later, some of whom are good friends of the leader, and some of whom are senior officials of the court; some of them will be discussed in public, and some of them will be communicated in private.

Qu Li is not immoral, so getting along with him is very pleasant.

During the St. Petersburg meeting, the Golden State Warriors successfully won their first championship in 40 years, making their teamwork and "small ball" tactics famous all over the world. At the same time, Xiangyun's market value directly climbed to more than 100 billion. It was really too Exaggerated.

Qu Li took a look at it and saw that the Shanghai Composite Index of large A-shares was still above 5,000 points. He immediately understood that it was just speculation.

What was not hyped was Curry's sneakers and jerseys. Xiangyun, who had been well prepared, faced the skyrocketing demand, and Made in China demonstrated its ability to respond quickly. There is no need to consider contract renewal negotiations. In this case, there will generally be no surprises. Under Armor could handle Curry back then. Doesn't Xiangyun, who has a stronger background, not have the ability?

Xiangyun soon announced the plans for Curry and other stars to travel to China in the summer, which caused a big sensation. Major A-share investors have always had opinions on Xiangyun. Obviously, sales and profits are not high, but they just follow the example of Adidas and Nike. Superstar strategy, big investment but slow results. And they still can't keep it. For example, Bolt switched to Puma. Some people in China said: "A new brand cannot support a world-class sports superstar."

Now it’s been slapped in the face. Curry, the spokesperson for Xiangyun sneakers, is a superstar in basketball, right? The Warriors are the best basketball club this year, right?

Although basketball is not as popular as football, the number of NBA fans is second only to the Champions League and the Premier League. There are many sports fans in Europe who follow the NBA. It is certain that it can help Xiangyun open the European market. From a regional brand to a global brand, Xiangyun's market value exceeds 100 billion, which seems to be reasonable.

Sports fans pay attention to the Warriors, and financial professionals pay attention to Xiangyun. Before Qu Li left Russia, he knew that Lai Shixian had flown from China to Europe. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to open up the European market and find a suitable partner.

In fact, preparations for these things have already begun, but the strength was not enough before, but now the situation is much better. The Golden State Warriors have become the most searched NBA team in Europe in the past few years.

Unlike basketball, Xiangyun can cheat in the Warriors, but football is not easy to cheat. Now it is the world of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and it is too early for influential new stars to take over. Therefore, although entering the European market is not a matter of chance, if you want to achieve great development, you still have to be patient.

Of course, Qu Li will not stop Lai Shixian's aggressiveness. He will stay in Russia to deal with some trivial matters to ensure that the GM factory can be handed over smoothly and that the Qiancheng brand can enter. Qu Li left Erros and flew to Sweden.

Qiancheng Geometry restarted the Saab brand, using Saab's legacy technology development department CMA structure, and combining the cost advantages of mainland China to develop new products, that is, Lantu Light Chaser and Saab Aian have entered the European market through dealer channels.

This time, the underwater dance "Kun" caused a sensation around the world. The geometric "X" shape, or the car logo with a pair of wings, has entered the eyes of European consumers at the same time. No, Geometry G9 has long been a world-renowned brand. Now it has strengthened their recognition and become a brand with "cultural heritage".

Geometry G9 has achieved a monthly sales target of 1,000 units in both the EU and the United States. It is the pure electric vehicle brand second only to Tesla in the United States. It is now selling fuel vehicles with the help of Saab Automobile's technology.
