His son married the daughter of the Qiu family and the two families became in-laws. When the in-laws were in trouble and he helped them, his son would lose face if his daughter-in-law's family fell.
Qiu Huimin said, "Thank you, Uncle Li. I believe my dad will be very happy with what you said. I thank you on behalf of my dad."
Li He nodded and said, "Young couples should love and support each other. If you take a step back, don't feel like you're at a disadvantage. If you take a step forward, don't feel like you're at a disadvantage.
For a family like yours, money is no longer a problem for you. You should stand a little higher, see a little further, and not be calculative about some things. "
Fu Yao said, "Uncle Li, don't worry. I will remember your teachings."
Li He waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Alright, I guess I've said too much. You guys are also annoyed. Go and do your things. I won't nag anymore."
Fu Yao explained, "We didn't mean that, Uncle Li. We still hope that you can say more."
Li He smiled and said, "You don't have to coax me. I'm leaving soon, so I won't ask you to stay for dinner. Wang Ziwen, send them off for me. "
Watching the two of them leave hand in hand, Li Du smiled and asked Wang Ziwen to pack his luggage and leave when Wang Ziwen returned.
"Mr. Li, our colleagues in the Public Relations Department have discussed it and feel that it's better for you to respond personally." Wang Ziwen stood still.
"Respond?" Li He sneered.
He, who rarely accepted interviews in the news, accepted an interview with ABC on the plane to respond to the sanctions imposed by the US Department of Commerce that banned Nokia mobile phones and communication equipment from entering the United States.
"Mr. Li, to the outside world, you are a mysterious and low-key person. Fortunately, we learned a lot about you in the memoirs of Mr. Clinton and Mr. Bush.
In 2009, you attended the Davos Forum. At that time, we wanted to do a program on the theme of China Re Corporation. We know that there are many misunderstandings about you in the world. From the perspective of ABC, we wanted to use this opportunity to understand your point of view, but you rejected us at that time.
Now, I'm very happy to finally have this opportunity to listen to your standpoint, and I'm very grateful for this opportunity. Later, we will raise some issues that the outside world is very concerned about, and once again, I would like to express my gratitude for accepting this interview! " Sitting directly opposite Li He was the American gold medal female anchor, Leslie Puss. She had blonde hair and blue eyes, and her delicate face was very serious. She looked into Li He's eyes, and after getting Li He's affirmation, she continued, "As far as I know, this is not the first time that your company has been sanctioned. In November 1996, the New York State Department of Financial Services announced that Delta Bank had violated New York State law by providing settlement services to companies that were sanctioned by the United States, and had to pay a fine of 385 million US dollars.
In October 2002, the US Treasury Secretary announced sanctions against the Malaysian oil company, Maggo, which was also the largest oil company in Southeast Asia.
In December 2003, your Baltic Shipping was also sanctioned by the US Department of Commerce for accepting new orders from Iran.
Now, the United States has once again sanctioned the companies under the Zhong Re Group. What do you think about this? "
Li He smiled. Sometimes, he felt helpless. Initially, he wanted to be a low-key person and live a stable life until old age, but many retired politicians and business tycoons had a bad habit. They liked to write memoirs or autobiographies. It was fine if they wanted to write, it was not a problem for him anyway.
However, these people would always mention him and his company at the same time, and it would take up a lot of space in the book as if he was not mentioned, the memoir would not be complete.
He used to be very distressed about this.
"Thank you," Li He paused and said, "This is not the first time I've been sanctioned by the United States. As early as the early 1980s, my textile companies, steel companies, glass companies, and automobile companies were all subjected to anti-trust investigations and penalties by the US government.
The United States often brandished the special 301 clause stick and used the reason of investigating the laws, policies, and practices of the relevant countries that restricted the entry of American products into the country to exert pressure on other countries, threatening to implement retaliatory trade sanctions if the dispute over the 301 clause is not resolved.
However, this kind of unreasonable behavior can only ruin the reputation of the United States in the world, damage the economic and trade relations between the United States and other countries, and harm the interests of the United States … "
"Along the way, I've grown from a small company to a big company, from a weak company to a strong one. In my opinion, many things have become common …" Li He paused and said, "I'm very grateful to the United States government's publicity, letting the world know that Nokia Communications does not only sell mobile phones. All along, when people mention Nokia, they only know about mobile phones. In fact, the proportion of mobile phone sales in the total revenue is very low. The main part of the revenue is the communication equipment. We're the most technologically advanced communication equipment supplier in the world …"
"My next question is related to your huge business empire," Presley glanced at the outline and continued, "From Mr. Clinton's memoir, we saw a paragraph saying that you're the most lazy businessman, but also the most successful businessman. He said that you're the luckiest person in the world, the wealth accumulated in just a few decades has surpassed many century-old families. What I want to ask is, have you always been this lucky? "
Li He said, "The lucky ones are those who have titles like 'Duke of Cornwall, Earl Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Scotland Islands, Great Lord Steward' and other similar titles. They were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
We're just ordinary people who refuse to bow to fate.
If we're lucky, our generation coincided with the opportunity of reform and opening up, giving us the opportunity to show our talents on the stage. We're very thankful for this great era.
Just like Mr. Clinton said, I'm a relatively lazy person. If I stopped at the beginning of my business, the money I saved at that time would basically be enough for me to live a rich life for the rest of my life.
However, my character is more stubborn, I'm never easily satisfied, and I refuse to give up easily. So today, I can say with certainty that I'll continue to move forward. "
Presley continued to ask, "Regarding the accusations that the United States Department of Commerce has against you, what do you think?"
Li He said, "Looking at the history and logic of the success of economic sanctions, there isn't a simple linear relationship between the economic losses caused and the success of sanctions.
Since you're talking about Mr. Clinton, I can say that if I remember correctly, during Mr. Clinton's four years in office, the United States imposed economic sanctions on 35 countries. These countries had a population of 2.3 billion, which accounted for 42% of the world's population at that time. As the number of sanctions increased, the effectiveness decreased.
This was not a win-win result at all. So far, there hasn't been a case of the sanctioned countries compromising.
If you go back and look at the global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, you'll find that some of the financial and economic market situations that happened this year are very similar to the early financial crisis. This round of new fluctuations may also bring us some disruption.
Its root lies in the rise of anti-globalism.
The future of economic globalization is a blue ocean, containing vast space for development.
I believe that the United States, as the leader of the global economy, will continue to maintain a more open and inclusive attitude, and eventually solve the problem within the framework of the law. "
Presley said, "In many news reports, Nokia is described as a thief and untrustworthy. Nokia is violating the intellectual property rights of the United States and stealing American technology. Do you agree with these words?"
Li He smiled and said, "Nokia is a multinational company headquartered in Finland, and its parent company is Italy's Omnitel Telecom Group. It belongs to all shareholders, not one person.
Nokia has always been the global leader in communications, and it has more than 100,000 patents covering many fields such as chips, mobile communications, cloud computing, and computing cognition. It has about 1.1 billion USD of patent licensing revenue every year.
No company in the same industry has more patents than us, and no company has more patent income than us. "
