The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Another New Year's Day, 1985 has come in a blink of an eye, and the eighth year of Li Jianhui's industrial development has also come.

If it wasn't for the eldest sister taking care of her assets at the beginning, and owning a house in Hung Hom, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was poor and useless.

After more than seven years of development, leaving aside other factors and only talking about assets, it can be said bluntly that the Li family of Xinjian has become one of the top families in the world.

It's a pity that due to various limitations, the influence of Xinjian's Li family is far from being comparable to those of the top families, even the influence of many first-class families is far stronger than that of Xinjian's Li family.

In order to further enhance the strength and influence of Xinjian Li's family, at nine o'clock in the morning on New Year's Day, Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian took Li Zhipeng and Li Shutong with the two little guys to fly directly from Kai Tak Airport to London.

Due to the time difference, Li Jianhui's special plane arrived at London Heathrow Airport in the afternoon of London time.

Li Jianhui's visit this time is different from the past, the British government attaches great importance to him, and many ministers welcomed Li Jianhui and his family at the airport.

Of course, when it comes to his status in England, Li Jianhui really can't compare with Chen Yulian. You must know that in addition to the title of Viscount, Chen Yulian is also the Governor of Donghua Territory and the Minister of Defense of Donghua Territory. Still have real power.

There are quite a few governors in England, and there are quite a few who have administrative power, but currently only Chen Yulian has an army under her banner and has command power.

Due to time constraints, Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian only communicated briefly with the people present, and then drove towards Buckingham Palace in a vehicle.

Tonight is not only to attend the New Year's dinner hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace, but also to attend the knighting ceremony.

This time, in addition to Chen Yulian being promoted to a hereditary earl, Li Shutong was also made a baron. Although it is not hereditary, it can also be seen that the British government and the royal family are trying to win over Li Jianhui.

As for Li Jianhui, the royal family even offered a very high price. As long as Li Jianhui's household registration is transferred to Donghua territory, the royal family is willing to make Li Jianhui hereditary marquis.

You must know that in addition to the royal family in England, the highest title is the duke, and the next is the marquis.

And the most important thing is that the current British royal family has rarely granted titles to people outside the royal family, especially hereditary titles. Even if many governors and prime ministers have made great contributions to the development of England, they are only a lifetime title, and generally No higher than a viscount, and an earl is extremely rare.

And now not only has Chen Yulian been promoted to hereditary earl, but also promised that Li Jianhui will be granted the title of hereditary marquis as long as his household registration is transferred to Donghua territory. It can be said that the royal family has given the biggest bargaining chip it can give in order to win over.

It's a pity that Li Jianhui has never wanted to develop based on England, and he also covets the huge market in the north. Although he talked about business with the north, his household registration is in Xiangjiang, and he still has dissatisfaction with the development of his industries in the northern market. Small convenience.

Therefore, facing the huge temptation of the hereditary marquis, Li Jianhui still declined, but also said that in the future, he would increase cooperation with British companies and accelerate the construction of Donghua Territory.

Originally, they were quite tired from Xiangjiang, and the dinner did not end until after [-] o'clock in the evening. Due to the time difference, Li Jianhui and Chen Yulian took their two children back to Xinhui (London) Hotel and went to bed after a brief wash.

While they were still in their dreams, the news that Chen Yulian was made a hereditary earl and Li Shutong was made a lifelong baron appeared on the headlines of many newspapers in Xiangjiang, and various rumors spread rapidly among the people.

This also caused the Hong Kong stock market to usher in a bad start in 1985, and the three major indexes of East Asia, Hang Seng, and Sun Hung collectively dived, which caused the stock market, which was already depressed by the situation, to suffer another heavy blow.

Elder Liao and Li Jushen in the Xiangjiang Xinghua Club could only sigh helplessly when they heard the news. They had already said that Xinjian Li's family and even the entire Donghua Club were in business with them.

Don't say it was Chen Yulian and Li Shutong who were knighted this time, even if it was Li Jianhui who was knighted, they would have no reason to come to question each other again.

"Ju Shen, last year was a dividing line. Starting from this year, we will face a brand new situation. Whether we can bring back a stable and prosperous Xiangjiang depends on whether our next work is effective."

Li Jushen naturally understood what Elder Liao meant. Previously, their first job was to confirm the return of sovereignty, and the economy was a secondary priority, and they could even sacrifice the economy when necessary.

But now that the joint statement has been signed, the return is no longer a problem, and the follow-up is mainly on the economy and stability, and this is inseparable from the Hong Kong business community.

After years of development, Xiangjiang’s economy is mainly divided into eight major forces. One of them is the prosperous Tung Wah Association. The leaders in various industries in Hong Kong are basically companies under the Tung Wah Association, especially in real estate, retail and finance, which are said to monopolize half of the sky. Not too much.

The other five are Sun Hung Club, New Asia Club, Far East Club, Nanjiang Club, and Nanyang Club. The industries of these five major forces also involve many industries in Hong Kong, and they rank among the top in many industries.

Xianghuahui used to have a good influence, but it is a pity that the industry has basically been transferred to the mainland market in the past two years, and its influence has already declined. If the upper echelons of Xiangjiang did not give Huo Bao and others more face, I am afraid that they would not be able to equalize with several parties.

The last force is foreign capital, mainly from England, Japan and their side.

The most unstable factor at the moment is the Donghua Club. Due to its huge industry and the fact that its helmsman is focused on building a world-class family like Rockefeller and a world-class consortium like First Citigroup, they are not on the same line at all. .

At present, Li Jianhui's [-] largest holding groups, in addition to the five in Xiangjiang, five of the other ten are in the Commonwealth of Nations, and three of them are headquartered in the places where his wife and children are registered.

Moreover, among the three major holding groups, Lanfeng and Nanlong are able to compete with Xinjian Holdings in terms of strength, or even surpass them. It is only because the president of Xinjian Holdings is Li Jianhui that they bow their heads. .

"Old Liao, momentary turmoil is inevitable, especially since we and Li Jianhui couldn't reach a consensus on our position, which resulted in the current result.

However, I always believe that, including Li Jianhui, the helmsmen of these Chinese-funded families hope that Hong Kong's economy will be stable and prosperous.

From the fact that Li Jianhui's household registration has never been transferred, it can also be seen that he has feelings for the nation and the country. If he has to, it is impossible for Chen Yulian to be knighted.

It can only be said that nine out of ten people are unhappy, he is very helpless, and we are also very helpless.

The above is not unclear about the benefits of Donghua's economic development based on our side, especially for the present.

It’s just that the higher-ups are more clearly aware of the subsequent disadvantages. It is absolutely impossible for us to allow private monopoly consortiums to monopolize our economy, and it is even more impossible for capital to intervene in political governance.

Our government has been serving the people of the whole country since its establishment, and it is absolutely impossible to serve a certain interest group.

Some of the practices of the Tung Wah Association before are indeed worthy of praise, but once they fail to achieve their goals, they immediately bared the fangs of the capitalists, as evidenced by the rising prices in recent months. "

Elder Liao also knew the whole story, and if it was true, they would also have to bear the responsibility.

Li Jianhui did this, on the one hand, to talk about business, and on the other hand, to reduce his own influence.

And this is also the result they want to see, and they even acted as pushers. For them, Li Jianhui's huge influence among the citizens is very unfavorable to them.
