The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 358 Attractive Bones

Because of the butterfly effect brought by Li Jianhui, the Hong Kong stock market has already plummeted. In the previous life, the Hang Seng Index reached a historic high of 1810 points this month.

However, some of the reasons for the sharp drop are still there. Governor Blake held the first large-scale party this year on the first weekend in July, and invited well-known figures from all walks of life including politics, business and academics in Xiangjiang.

Li Jianhui is already immune to some old-fashioned words, but today some new things caught his attention a little.

The Hong Kong Legislative Council and the Executive Council will expand the number of members. At the same time, the districts below Xiangjiang will also try to establish parliaments. The number of members will be determined at 1000:1 according to the population of each district, and the chief executives of each district will be elected by the members.

In order to avoid possible chaos caused by the reform, the government took five districts of Sai Kung, Sha Tin, Da Po, North District and Yuen Long as a pilot to accumulate experience and promote it in other districts of Xiangjiang at an appropriate time.

This plan can be said to have stirred up thousands of waves with one stone, because the Xinjian Department of the five pilot districts has a strong influence in all areas except Shatian, and most people present looked at Li Jianhui.

They wanted to know if the Bryan government or even the London government had reached an agreement with Donghua, otherwise how could it be possible to suddenly give the citizens of Xiangjiang the right to participate in politics, and put the pilot in these districts.

Compared with these people's thoughts, Li Jianhui also began to calculate in his heart, and he could guess some calculations of the Bryan government.

The five districts in this trial all belong to the New Territories. These places are very different from Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The Bryan government took them out and continued to do this, obviously in preparation for the future.

As for how much power the districts have to establish district councils, they don’t actually have much power. For example, land, taxation and other policies are not in the hands of the district organizations.

To say that there is no right, there are many benefits to using this thing well, and it will be more convenient in enterprise development.

This is obviously a bone thrown out by the Bryan government to lure these people present, especially the members of the five major consortiums.

And this trick is quite ruthless, looking at the expressions of these people present is enough to prove how fragrant this bone is.

Even if Li Jianhui knew the intentions of the Bryan government, he would actively participate in it for the benefit of himself and the East China Association.

After all, if Li Jianhui and Donghua don't fight over this matter, they will give up the territory they have worked so hard to manage to others, and the other major consortiums will not give up this opportunity.

Bryan didn't care about the whispered discussions present, he took Xoss's words and said: "On the side of the non-official members of the Executive Council, our government is temporarily preparing to add ten people.

It is planned to invite Mr. Li Jianhui, Mr. Li Guobao, Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Bao Yugang, Mr. Li Zhaoji, Mr. Zheng Yutong, Mr. Li Jiacheng, Mr. Kadoorie, Mr. Chen Zengxi, and Mr. Ho Hung-sen.

We also invite ten people to the Legislative Council. We plan to invite Mr. Li Jianhui, Mr. Lei Juekun, Mr. Guo Desheng, Mr. Qiu Degen, Mr. Standard Chartered, Mr. Cao Wenjin, Mr. Feng Jingxi, Mr. Shi Huaiya, Mr. Niu Bijian, and Mr. Xu Shixun.

I sincerely hope that all of you can accept the government's invitation. You are the leaders of Hong Kong's economy, and you play a big role in the development of Hong Kong's economy.

For the nearly [-] million citizens of Xiangjiang, you also have the responsibility to contribute to the future development of Xiangjiang and formulate a better development plan for Xiangjiang.

I hope you can give me an answer within three days. Next Thursday, a meeting of the executive and legislative councils will be held, and those who agree will officially become members of the two councils. "

It can be said that Li Jianhui was pushed to the forefront of the party tonight, not to mention the five pilot districts, but he was the only one who received two invitations from the non-official members of the Executive and Legislative Councils.

As long as he is willing, next Thursday, he will become one of the few executive and legislative councilors in Hong Kong.

At present, there are only four official councilors in Hong Kong who are members of the two councils at the same time: Governor Bryan, Chief Executive Xosos, Financial Secretary Weems, and Commander Jixon in Hong Kong.

……

After the party, Li Jianhui and other members of the Donghua Club in Xiangjiang did not go home in a hurry, but came to the conference room of Xinhui Hotel together to exchange views on tonight's affairs.

According to the original plan of Li Jianhui and others, in the past few years, they should keep a low profile as much as possible, do business with peace of mind, let the industry go out of Xiangjiang, expand their own development space, and avoid getting involved in the political vortex.

It's a pity that the plan will never keep up with the changes. They didn't expect the Bryan government to come up with such a move.

Everyone has ambitions, especially for those who have lived in Xiangjiang since childhood. Their thoughts are more inclined to the West. With such an opportunity, how could they let it go.

Li Guobao said excitedly: "Everyone, our opportunity has arrived, no matter why the Bryan government chooses to do this, we cannot let this opportunity slip away.

Shatian is the key layout area of ​​the Federation. We can ignore it for the time being, but Saigon, Yuen Long, North District and Dapu are the key layout areas of our Donghua Association. We must firmly take the initiative in these places. "

Lei Juekun, Chen Zhiyong, Guo Zhiquan, Ye Han, Zhang Guangwen, Pan Zhiyong, and Feng Jingyao also spoke out one after another. No matter what the future holds, Tung Wah Association will now take the initiative and firmly control the initiative of the four district councils.

Seeing this, Li Jianhui couldn't go against everyone's wishes, agreed to take the initiative, and asked Jiayi Group to cooperate with the publicity.

"Since everyone intends to get involved in this, then we need a spokesperson for this area. He will form a political organization, participate in the election of district councilors, and even the election of the district chief executive. I wonder if you have any good candidates?"

Participation in this matter is participation, and Li Jianhui and others will not end in person. In the final analysis, they still focus on the family business.

After some discussions, it was finally decided that a lawyer from Li Guobao’s family would lead the project, Lei Juekun’s nephew Lei Zhaojiang would assist, and Tianshui Holdings would provide him with HK$5000 million as development funds.

As for the invitation of non-official members, Li Jianhui, Li Guobao, and Lei Juekun did not intend to refuse. Regardless of the future, let's talk about it now, which is also conducive to the development of the Tung Wah Association.

With this platform, they can propose to the government to build subways from Tseung Kwan O to North District, Tseung Kwan O to Central, Tseung Kwan O to Tin Shui Wai, and they can also propose to the Xiangjiang government to build more universities with degrees. Some suggestions on economic development are beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang and Tung Wah Association.

Regardless of whether it can be passed or not, at least now you have the right to propose, and there is a district council. If the lower levels and the media push the flames, these things may be very promising.

Tonight, not only the Donghua Association is discussing this matter, but the Huaxin Association, the Federation, the New Asia Association, and the Xianghua Association are all discussing it.

The vast majority of people are gearing up and ready to do a big job, but there are also a very small number of people who can't sleep at night because of this news.
