The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 332 ASEAN - Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Forum

"Hello, audience friends in front of the TV, I am at the site of the ASEAN-Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Forum held at the Kuala Lumpur International Convention and Exhibition Center.

This is the first time that ASEAN has established such a cooperation platform with other regions. Whether it is the five ASEAN countries, the observer country Brunei, or Xiangjiang, they all attach great importance to it.

High-level officials and business representatives from various countries attended the event. Hong Kong's chief secretary, Xosos, and representatives of the Hong Kong business community, including Li Sheng, also came to the venue.

......"

On April 4th, it was a historic moment for both ASEAN and Xiangjiang. The establishment of the ASEAN-Xiangjiang Economic Cooperation Forum platform accelerated the economic cooperation between Xiangjiang and ASEAN, and also made ASEAN and Xiangjiang economically connected. more closely.

Of course, the establishment of this platform is inseparable from the promotion of the Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association, and it is also inseparable from the investment in ASEAN from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

According to last year's data, Heung Kong Capital's investment in ASEAN is second only to Japan, and ranks second in foreign investment in ASEAN, surpassing South Korea, Formosa, England and the United States.

Of course, the Xinjian Department has made a huge contribution here, and by virtue of its own strength, Heung Kong Capital has reached several levels in ASEAN.

After the speeches of these government representatives, Li Jianhui, as the richest man in the world and a business leader in Xiangjiang, ranked first among the speeches of business representatives.

Jiashi reporters saw the big boss coming on stage, and immediately put the camera on Li Jianhui. Since today they basically use English, the reporter also used Cantonese to act as an interpreter for the audience in front of the TV.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to be here to attend the ASEAN-Xiangjiang Economic Cooperation Forum. The ASEAN Xiangjiang River is separated by a strip of water and has similar cultures. It is currently in a period of rapid economic development.

I have always believed that a closed economy cannot prosper and develop, and an economy that is hostile to each other and imposes barriers is equally difficult to develop.

Mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, only in this way can the long-term stable and prosperous development of the economy be achieved.

ASEAN has huge market potential, but it is still relatively far away from countries such as Britain, the United States, and Japan in terms of development. As a financial center in Asia and even the world, Xiangjiang has abundant capital and can completely complement ASEAN.

The entry of Xiangjiang capital can promote the economic development of ASEAN countries, and the development of ASEAN will also accelerate the economic development of Xiangjiang.

Ladies and gentlemen, the world economy is approaching an inflection point. The developed economies in Europe and the United States are in the midst of an economic crisis. Their domestic inflation continues to increase, and the unemployment rate hits record highs.

But our Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, is in stark contrast to it. The Japanese economy has been making brilliant achievements and is launching an impact on the world's largest economy. Economic growth far exceeds that of the world.

The focus of world economic development is shifting to East Asia and Southeast Asia. At this time, we should seize the development strategy period and strengthen cooperation among all parties. Not to mention catching up with developed countries in Europe and the United States, we must at least narrow the distance with Europe and the United States. The world knows that we Asians are no worse than Europeans and Americans.

At this cooperation forum, ASEAN took the lead in establishing the ASEAN Development Bank to provide assistance for the development of enterprises in ASEAN countries. This is a good start.

But in my opinion, just one bank is not enough. I hope that more banks in ASEAN and Xiangjiang can participate and provide assistance for the development of enterprises in ASEAN countries.

As an advocate, Xinjian Bank under me will set an example in this regard. Starting this year, Xinjian Bank will have a special fund of [-] million Hong Kong dollars in ASEAN countries, mainly to provide low-interest loans or financing for enterprises in ASEAN countries. Promote the economic development of ASEAN countries.

Ladies and gentlemen, since the Industrial Revolution, the world's economic center has always been in Europe and the United States.

A new round of technological revolution has arrived, and this is also an opportunity for us to catch up with Europe and the United States. This is the time for us to unite and bring the world economy back to Asia.

......"

Entrepreneurs in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia during this period have not been interrupted. At this time, they are all ambitious. Although the development is indeed much weaker than that of developed countries in Europe and the United States, they do not think that they cannot catch up.

A Japan that has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest economy, the fast-growing Four Asian Tigers and Four Asian Tigers, and a rising continent have quietly shifted the focus of world economic development from Europe and the United States to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Especially in the past two years, whether it is Britain, France, Italy, the West, the United States, Canada and Australia, the economic development has been very sluggish, but the economies of East Asia and ASEAN countries and regions have been developing at a high speed. How can this not make these people feel excited.

The reason why the major Japanese consortiums have the ambition to compete with the American consortium is that this situation has given them confidence. The economies of Europe and the United States have fallen into decadence, while the economies of East Asia and Southeast Asia are on the rise.

Li Jianhui is lighting the fire today. Although he may become a target of many forces after today, he doesn't care. Anyway, his industry doesn't have much business in the United States at present, so even if the other party wants to suppress him, it will not be easy.

As for Western Europe, some countries are currently stepping up their alliances. The European Community is not just for economic cooperation. As the predecessor of the European Union, the main purpose is to free Western Europe from dependence on the United States.

Moreover, Li Jianhui believes that the main countries in Western Europe are happy to see Asian capital and American capital in hostility, so that they can reap the benefits of fishermen.

No one is willing to be a slave, and no one is willing to be called and go away. All countries and regions have their own ambitions, and these entrepreneurial representatives also have ambitions.

What these countries and regions hope is that their comprehensive strength is strong. If they have money and technology, they will not praise the stinky feet of world powers.

And these entrepreneur representatives don't want to live in the shadow of European and American companies. If there are world-class companies in Europe and the United States, why can't their own companies become world-class.

Once ambition is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish it. Li Jianhui is ambitious and hopes to build the Southeast Asian market into a market that he can rely on.

Representatives of these enterprises also hope that their enterprises can become the hegemony in the ASEAN market, even in Asia, and even in the same industry in the world.

Some of their goals and Li Jianhui's are the same, that is, to promote cooperation within ASEAN. Only with close internal cooperation can they better expand in the markets of various countries.

However, the difference is that for most representatives of ASEAN companies, Xiangjiang companies, especially the Xinjian Department, are their key targets of defense. They do not want the ASEAN market to be dominated by several major conglomerates in Xiangjiang.

The world situation has also caused a huge storm because of today's ASEAN-Hong Kong Economic Cooperation Forum and Li Jianhui's speech. Li Jianhui has traveled through the past four years and finally brought the future to the unknown. As for whether this is good or bad, no one knows .
