The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 538 Reception (Two in One)

Considering that today is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xinghua News Agency deliberately put the National Day reception at noon.

But now there is no Eastern Submarine Tunnel directly connecting the Eastern District and Yau Tong, so from Tseung Kwan O to Xinghua Club on Queen’s Road in Wanchai, you have to go to the Kowloon side, which is more time-consuming.

Therefore, Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian didn't chat with Wen Biyu much, and they didn't have time to visit Tiaojingling. They got on the car and headed for Xinghua Club at ten o'clock.

It's just a little surprise at noon today, I didn't see Brian, even the three chiefs, Xoss and others, didn't come.

It seems that the impact of the meeting in mid-August was not so great, and compared to Youde in the previous life after MacLehose left, Brian was obviously stronger and insisted on the local will.

You must know that after this meeting in the previous life, Youde, including several later governors, would attend this reception every year.

However, now because of Li Jianhui's butterfly effect, the situation has obviously created more uncertainty.

Li Jianhui, who has participated in several times, is actually somewhat immune to this. For those programmed words, he basically goes in his left ear and out of his right ear, without any disturbance in his heart.

"Over the past month or so, various news have been circulating on the market, which has caused uneasiness among many citizens.

Here, we promise again that Hong Kong's economic system will not change in the future, and everyone's interests will not be violated.

And we will do our best to bring peace back to ensure prosperity and stability here.

At the same time, we also hope that everyone can go to the mainland more often to see the changes and developments in recent years.

......"

With the end of this speech, the luncheon officially began, and the atmosphere began to become lively.

It was obvious that he put his heart into arranging the seats today. Li Jianhui sat at a table with Chen Yulian, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Bao Yugang, and Guo Henian, accompanied by Li Jushen, the president of Xinghua News Agency.

At the tables to their left and right, there were core members of the major associations and their wives respectively, and these tables were quite distinct.

The Nanjiang meeting was more embarrassing. At the main table, they had no representatives. Compared with the other conferences on such an occasion, they always felt a bit out of place.

In particular, even the Nanyang Association, which is not native to Hong Kong, has representatives sitting at the main table, but they don't, which is really uncomfortable.

It's just that even so, they couldn't say anything. After all, Li Jianhui, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, and Guo Henian were all the presidents of the association, but the president of the Nanjiang Association didn't come to participate. It was no wonder.

Didn't you see that Li Guobao, who is at the helm of Xiangjiang's second largest family, is also not sitting at the main table?What right do they have to have an opinion on this.

"Today, on the occasion of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to offer you a toast and thank you for coming to the National Day reception."

The communication between Chinese people is the most lively at the wine table. After drinking for three rounds, they can talk about some topics with each other more openly.

When talking about enterprise development and competition, Li Jianhui said: "With the economic development in these years, our Xiangjiang enterprises have made great progress.

But in my opinion, there are still big deficiencies, although we are also one of the four tigers, and the current per capita GDP ranks first among the four tigers.

But this is mainly supported by real estate and banking finance. In terms of core technology ownership, we are far from being able to compare with the others.

If Xiangjiang economy and our company want to develop well in the future, we must have our own core technology and brand.

For example, our clothing industry, Xiangjiang used to be the pillar supporting the economic development of Xiangjiang for [-] or [-] years, but it gradually declined because it did not have its own brand.

As for industrial competition, I can only say that where there is a market, there will be competition, and where there is competition, there will be development. Our company must dare to compete with similar companies and stand out from similar companies in order to strive for more markets and development.

Of course, if you do business, you will lose if you make a profit. Naturally, if you start a business, you will exit if you expand. We cannot expect policies and the care of our peers to keep our business alive.

Instead, it is necessary to make its own industry bigger and stronger as much as possible, and at the same time grasp the initiative in the upstream and downstream of the industry, let it form a closed loop, and establish a solid moat outside to maintain the stable and sustainable development of the enterprise. "

No matter how good Li Jianhui's words are, it can't conceal his desire to monopolize the market. Whether he controls the core technology and brand, or dominates the online game industry and builds a moat, in the end it is actually to monopolize the market and maintain his own strength. Benefit.

The Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association have obviously been working hard in this regard. The downstream sales channel has always been the strength of the Donghua Association. In the upstream industry chain, the Donghua Association is also constantly entering.

Compared with the behemoth of the Donghuahui, the industries under Xinhong, Xinya, Xianghua, Nanyang and even Nanjiang are really not worth mentioning.

According to the international classification, the Donghua Association is already considered a world-class business consortium, and these few of them are local business consortiums, and they still have some strength in their regions, which is not enough for the world.

The three largest Silicon Valleys in the world, apart from California, London or Xiangjiang-Hsinchu, are all closely related to the Tung Wah Association.

Especially in London, driven by the support of Blue Maple Holdings and the Rose Consortium, a large number of semiconductor, computer hardware and software companies have gathered there, and it is now known as the Silicon Land of Western Europe.

As for the current situation in Asia, there are many semiconductor and computer hardware and software companies gathered by the Tung Wah Association in the North of Xiangjiang River, and the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park on the other side of Baodao is also developing rapidly. stake.

Therefore, the outside world connects the two parties together, calling it the Silicon Valley of Asia, which is tied with California and London, but because of the current strength problem, they can only be ranked last together.

If you don’t feel that Donghuahui is already a world-class business consortium just by looking at it, then let’s rank it from some specific industries.

With the rapid development of Hongyu Apparel in the past two years, especially the promotion of the two major Asian leagues, it has entered the top ten sports apparel companies, and its current market value has exceeded [-] billion Hong Kong dollars. If it is not because of the impact of the situation, it is afraid of breaking [-] billion Hong Kong dollars will not be a problem.

The top five real estate companies on the Xiangjiang stock market are all real estate companies under the East China Association.

In the retail industry, the world has seen its strength in this aspect, and it is still competing for the market with the top two retail department stores in the world in the North American market.

As for home appliances, in the Asian market, Jingyi Electric and Datong Electric have already dominated the low-end market.

Yushi Group and Jaguar Group are also developing at a high speed. Although they are still unable to compare with comprehensive automobile groups such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, General Motors, BMW, Mercedes-Benz Volkswagen, Peugeot Citroen, and Fiat, their strength can also rank among automobile companies in capitalist regions. Top fifteen.

Although it is behind Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai in Asia, it can still rank fifth.

In terms of transportation, Xiangjiang Airlines has more than [-] aircraft and has become another top airline in the world.

Huangpu Shipping Group is also the world's top shipping group, especially at a time when everyone is shrinking their fleet, Huangpu Shipping is increasing. Its strength and development potential are enough to attract attention.

In addition, there are media, theaters, hotels, jewelry, games, communications, etc., all of which are at the top or first-class among their peers.

The voice of Li Bancheng in the market is nothing new. Apart from being unable to take care of marriages, the Xinjian Department can provide almost everything they need from birth to death.

Although it sounds exaggerated, the citizens who really live in Tianshui City and Huihong City will have some feelings, especially now that even the water company is controlled.

In these areas, water and electricity are all provided by the companies under the Donghuahui, and education, medical care, daily shopping, home appliances, communications and travel are provided by the Donghuahui companies.

No matter how Li Jianhui whitewashes and defends, in fact, in Yuen Long, Sai Kung, North District, and Dapu District, the Tung Wah Association has already monopolized the daily needs of citizens.

Of course, they are all businessmen, let alone the second brother. Whether it is gas or electricity, Donghua Club only enters these four districts. Electricity and Xiangjiang Electric are monopolized, and they do not infringe on each other.

Li Jushen brought up the topic of enterprise development and competition today, not because he wants to control whether several parties have monopoly, he just hopes that several parties can give up targeting Xianghuahui enterprises.

Recently, Xianghuahui has been under a lot of pressure. On the one hand, the stock market has been attacked, and on the other hand, the company has been acquired by force.

During this period of time, Xianghuahui not only lost Johnson Electric, but Wharf was also in jeopardy from the joint attack of Jardine, HSBC, Kadoorie, Swire and Grosvenor Group.

This time, we are going to sell Nine Dragons Airlines, and we also hope that the cash will be used to keep Wharf from being acquired by several British-funded companies and families.

The Huo family is also preparing to sell the shares of Lisboa Tourism and Entertainment Company in exchange for funds to rescue OOCL.

Huayi Real Estate is a strong man who broke his wrist. He sold many properties to Jianrong Real Estate at a price three tiers lower than the current market price, in exchange for 1.35 million in cash, temporarily allowing himself to survive the crisis.

If Donghua, Xinhong, Xinya, and Nanyang still do not give up, I am afraid that the Xianghua Club will really disband, and may completely lose the industry and market in Xiangjiang.

Taking advantage of today's special day and rare opportunity, Li Jushen still wants to help Xianghua.

He also doesn't want the Xiangjiang business community to be controlled by the neutral faction and the British-funded faction, which will be very detrimental to their future work.

However, he obviously overestimated his own influence. Neither Li Jianhui nor Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, and Guo Henian had any intention of shaking hands with Xianghuahui.

And said that this is just the normal market competition of enterprises, and it does not mean to specifically target anyone.

Li Jianhui even bluntly said that for some enterprises that only hope to make money to invest in other places, but cannot make much contribution to the local economy and citizens, and do not have any core technology and competitiveness, the closing of business is the best for the development of themselves and the local economy. choose.

These words obviously angered the charter king at the same table, he said: "I know that Li Sheng was born and raised here, so I have always hoped that this place will prosper and develop, and I have also made great contributions to the economic development of this place and its six million citizens.

However, we can't just take care of our small family, but also think about the whole big family. I believe everyone knows what the north is like now, and we need our help there more than here.

I admit that in the past few years, no matter whether it is charity or investment, I think more about the north and ignore this side, but Li Sheng can't think that we have not contributed to the economy here, right? "

I don't know if it was because he drank mainland liquor, but Li Jianhui was also young and vigorous, and he didn't care about the occasion at all, so he immediately spoke out and reprimanded him.

"Before Bao Sheng said this, think carefully about how your companies operate. Not to mention anything else, 25% of the employees in the two Wheelock Plazas that are open today used to be textile companies and toy companies. Staff.

I would like to ask how these thousands of employees have no jobs, and what their business owners did for them when they were resigned.

If this still doesn't explain the problem, please go to Sham Shui Po to see more. When you earn a lot of money and act as good people in other places, please leave a mark for the citizens of Sham Shui Po who have created wealth. what?
Aren't you talking about righteousness?Don't you talk about ethnicity? Are the hundreds of thousands of citizens in Sham Shui Po not our compatriots?
So from now on, please don’t talk about this to me. I, Li Jianhui, was born and grew up here. No matter what the outside world says, I, Li Jianhui, can pat my chest and say, I am worthy of this place and these six million citizens.

On the contrary, it is you. Before talking about these things, please ask yourself, you can develop to this day, who supports you, and is it right for them.

......"

This table has always been the focus of attention, seeing Li Jianhui talking more and more vigorously, the eldest sister Li Chunxue sitting at the next table immediately came over and said:
"Jianhui, stop talking, go back and rest if your head is not clear."

Without waiting for Li Jianhui to respond, he immediately said again: "Jianyang, come and help Jianhui go back with Yulian, he is drunk now."

Chen Yulian was like a bright mirror in her heart, she knew very well that this little wine was nothing to Li Jianhui, and it was impossible to get drunk.

Speaking of this this time, I was actually venting my inner dissatisfaction, especially when the other party used righteousness to make things up again and again, which completely annoyed Li Jianhui.

However, she also knew that Li Jianhui was really embarrassing the other party on such an occasion. If the dispute continued, some sensitive issues might be involved.

Whether it is for the stable development of the industry here, or for the future market in the north, the situation cannot be allowed to continue to develop at this time.

It was quite appropriate for Li Chunxue to come forward at this time. Li Jianhui didn't look at business leaders as the world's richest man, but in front of Li Chunxue, he was just a younger brother, and he had to listen to Li Chunxue.

Li Jianhui seemed to have almost vented his heart, so he didn't make a sound, but let Li Jianyang and Chen Yulian support him to leave the banquet hall.
