Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Ecuador, Peru, and Chile have a population of about 70 million. Chile is a developed country with a good public security environment. The economy of the first two countries is almost the same, but the security in some places is also worrying, and the speeder gang is rampant.

Both Future and Time have arranged for people to conduct investigations and draw these conclusions. If you really want to take root in these places, you still have to equip yourself with a certain amount of security protection force. Of course, the political situation in these areas is relatively stable, and it is definitely not the kind of paramilitary force in Africa.

For the two companies, entering South America is a long-term process, but they have to enter. The lithium resources of Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile account for 56% of the world's lithium resources. If Mexico, Peru, Brazil, etc. are included, The country is close to 60%.

If electric vehicles will eventually replace fuel vehicles, then lithium mines in Latin American countries may become the "oil fields" of the new era, both of which can generate large amounts of money. From the perspective of industrial chain security, it is necessary to control certain lithium resources.

Qu Li has invested in mining companies such as Ganfeng Lithium, Tsingshan Holdings, and Huayou Cobalt through Vision and Tianming Funds. He is also the major shareholder of Australia's largest lithium mine, but the resources he controls are his, and his future is not promising.

Seeing that funds are no longer tight, he has to consider the future. Buying mines in South America is not to make money, but to expand his connections in the region and make more friends. It doesn't have to be good connections. Just be able to cooperate when necessary, instead of being exclusive.

Young Qu Li can spend more than ten years cultivating the market and reap the rewards ten years later. He has plenty of time. As long as he does not waste time and is not knocked down by uncontrollable factors, the future will still be his.

So Qu Li came to South America again. Under the guidance of the officials, he met with the government and business giants of these three countries to discuss cooperation. In addition to mining, there was also agriculture, especially large farmers. Agricultural products that met the requirements of Jumei were directly Selling to China can make more money.

Shopee China Station Shopee has become the largest cross-border e-commerce platform in the country. Relying on the global procurement system being established, it is welcomed by domestic users. At this time, they are busy allocating global procurement resources. It is impossible for all the goods they purchase in South America to be sent to China, and may also appear in the European and American markets.

The construction of the entire global procurement system and the allocation of resources require cross-border customs and time zones, contact with fleets, and even cooperation with shipping companies to open new routes, which is an extremely complicated matter.

Jumei Logistics even intends to purchase a small number of shipping ships to facilitate their flexible control. Geometry companies also have needs. If the planned Geometry Y6 can be successfully mass-produced, it may be a hot seller around the world. At that time, it will definitely need to be shipped to countries around the world.

At this stage, we still focus on doing business in South America. For example, mobile phones and cars have entered the Peruvian and Chilean markets, both of which are zero-tariff areas.

Qu Li was busy doing business and making "friends" while attending the Economic Cooperation Conference. His schedule was quite full, but the equally busy officials still met him and chatted with him.

Qu Li did not join any circles in China and did not form his own clique, which reassured the officials. They could only say that it was good that he was young, and it was easy for the leaders to accept his mistakes. Of course, it has something to do with Qu Li's straightforwardness in private situations. Even when asked about Tianming Fund, he would tell the truth.

This is strange, and Qu Li just casually talks about restricting the development of high-profit high-tech enterprises.

"The Chrysanthemum Factory will almost certainly be affected, and there is a high probability that Glory will be affected. Our future will not be affected in the short term. At most, our sales in the United States will be restricted, but we don't know in the long term." Qu Li only talked about the economy and was determined not to involve other matters.

"Maybe I misunderstood him..." The official

"It's a misunderstanding. Anyway, it's not me who calls the shots for Glory now. The future is too complicated and I lack the ability to be flexible..." Qu Li explained, not sure if he was convincing.

To this day, many MBA cases include the early transformation of Time Jumei, from Taobao seller to brand e-commerce, expanding categories to platform sellers, establishing self-operated logistics...

How Qu Li persuaded the team, investors, and partners, how he kept pace with the times and grew stronger through repeated adjustments.

It's a pity that Qu Li didn't say anything, so the MBA professor could only guess. Tan Lijun, who later joined Vanke, said some things to the outside world, but he was still in the dark and didn't make it clear. In fact, it was Qu Li who made money in the financial market, established Glory, and achieved success, so he suddenly became bolder. From then on, he had no taboos and could do whatever he wanted.

"Does Glory have the ability to deal with crises?" Guan Jia said.

"Our ability to resist risks is many times worse than that of Chrysanthemum Factory." Qu Li frankly said that they are a consumer electronics technology company and need to face consumers directly.

"The possibility of us withdrawing from the kimchi market this time is very high. Fortunately, Samsung has also been hugely affected in the domestic market."

"Do you have any other plans to deal with the crisis?" Officials

"We have high hopes for Honeycomb Energy's power battery business, and other businesses involving semiconductor chips are not safe." Qu Li

"Do you think they will take action in the semiconductor field?"

"Whether it is current smart devices or future smart cars, driverless cars are inseparable from the most advanced chips. However, chip foundry mainly relies on TSMC and Samsung Semiconductor, and equipment mainly relies on ASML."

In the communication between Qu Li and the housekeeper, his worries were clearly revealed. The main concern was about glory and the future. As for the beauty of time, at most the cloud computing business in North America would fail.

The officials may not know much about the semiconductor industry and did not judge Qu Li's words, but they also know that Qu Li has a serious sense of crisis and has moved his registered residence to Xiangjiang. This shows that he is an insecure person.

Many entrepreneurs have sensitive and suspicious personalities, and some are manic and paranoid. Anyway, they are different from normal people. There are too few who are truly sunny, handsome, positive and optimistic.

According to Dazuo Luo, the founder of Smartisan, Qu Li, like Qiao Busi, is an entrepreneur with both liberal arts and scientific thinking. Only by combining sensibility with rationality can he create miracles. Originally, Luo Dazuo was also such a person, but then, oh, it didn’t happen yet?

Unfortunately, communication with the leaders did not have much effect on their response to possible crises. It is still unknown whether they believe what Qu Li said. Even if they believe it, so what? Can they guide large funds to invest in the field of semiconductor equipment and materials? , covering the entire chip industry chain?

Uh, that seems to work! Qu Li looked at the housekeeper eagerly.
