History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 388 Battle Between Old and New
The top businessmen in the world use politics as their business and politicians as their goods. To be able to do this is to break the system and become a generation of wealthy businessmen.Often able to control the pattern of a region and grab benefits, it is considered a wealthy businessman.

He Dingxian has undoubtedly started dabbling in top-level business, but he is still far from being a real wealthy businessman. Firstly, Nanyang's plate is not big enough, at most it is considered medium. Secondly, Li Guangyao has more than one behind-the-scenes boss, and there are many wealthy locals who have made heavy bets.

He Dingxian is not a sole proprietorship, but has formed a joint chamber of commerce to lead everyone to develop in Nanyang, and the benefits need to be shared equally.

Correspondingly, the risk will be greatly reduced.

He Dingxian is actually very satisfied with this, because he doesn't have enough bargaining chips in Nanyang, and he can't afford it alone. He uses Nanyang handicap to establish the overall situation of the Hong Kong Island Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, in exchange for the prospect of Chinese in Hong Kong Island in the future.

Significant.

Subsequently, the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, the Guangfu Chamber of Commerce, and the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce successively held council meetings to formally discuss the establishment of the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce.

"Hong Kong Island is connected to the province and Nanyang to the outside world. Guangdong Province and Hong Kong Island are connected with each other. The four major chambers of commerce have merged into one. The development of Hong Kong Island is beneficial to both the province and Hong Kong."

"The United Chamber of Commerce is just a trial run. There are advantages and disadvantages, and you will know once you try it."

"Encourage each other to compete, go small to fight big, and unite as one, so that in the future we can hope to get more food from the ghost's bowl."

Among the four chambers of commerce, there are presidents of chambers of commerce who organize and lead them, and most of the directors agree.

Firstly, the rotating chairmanship system is relatively soft and widely accepted by everyone. Secondly, the strong rise of the Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has also made the bosses in Guangdong Province feel uneasy.It has to be said that it is a matter of course for many people to see each other from different families. Hong Kong Island has always been regarded as their own territory by the people of Guangdong Province. How can Shanghai people be allowed to become bigger?
Businessmen from Guangdong Province made money in Hong Kong Island, and they either bought properties in Hong Kong Island, or sent them back to the province for development. A few went to Nanyang, but where did Shanghai people send their money?Not to mention sending to Taiwan, Europe and the United States, but sending TMD to Shanghai makes them feel distressed!
After all, these big bosses are well aware of the geographical location of Shanghai. The Yangtze River exits the sea, and it is located in 22 provinces and [-] cities along the way.

Hong Kong Island radiates and the entire Guangdong Province is weak, so move the capital of Hong Kong Island to Shanghai?
Don't blame the narrow-minded bosses in Guangdong Province, you can't take advantage of all the benefits in the world!

Brothers have to be divided into the eldest and the second.

At the same time, the news that the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce was about to be established spread like wildfire and spread throughout the business community, immediately giving Chinese bosses from other provinces a blow.

Once the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce is established, it will immediately become the largest chamber of commerce organization on Hong Kong Island, with over [-] members, involving industries of all sizes in Hong Kong. The political forces behind the scenes include not only the four major families, but also the police force, the Department of Justice, the L Fahui, Government Affairs Bureau.

A little more integration of the rivers and lakes clubs, more than 20 club brothers can be absorbed.

This is not Hong Kong Island when it had a population of 500 million, but when it had a population of more than 200 million, there were 20 community brothers, which already accounted for nearly one-tenth of Hong Kong Island.

Although Hong Kong Island had the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and Industry established during the Boxer Rebellion period, since the end of World War II, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and Industry has become a symbolic organization.First of all, small bosses cannot join. Secondly, they are directly subject to domestic jurisdiction. Once they officially join, they will publicly express their stance. Business on Hong Kong Island will be strictly restricted by the Hong Kong government.

Therefore, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and Industry has long since lost its ambition to call the wind and rain and support the national crisis during World War II, and it has become an honorary title.

The most dynamic chambers of commerce on Hong Kong Island are these associations
Some people have said that the future chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce will be the most powerful Chinese on Hong Kong Island.

This sentence is not false.

"The blueprint for establishing the Guangdong Province United Chamber of Commerce is very good, but can it be realized with your ability?" In the Shanghu Guild Hall, Shao Yifu read a document, sneered, took a sip of tea, but did not say anything more if.

Li Huili shook his head beside him: "It's not a matter of a year or two, and it just gives us a chance to conquer Nanyang and develop the chamber of commerce."

Dong Haoyun's expression was solemn: "It is a good thing to be able to unite the Chinese."

"I have long seen that He Dingxian has a lot of ambition. He always likes to set rules and collect power so that people all over the world will listen to him, but the greater the power, the greater the responsibility." Shao Yifu said: "It is impossible for him to live forever. Neither made a wrong choice.”

Maybe it was getting carried away, or maybe it was just trying to get angry, and at the end he cursed: "You little brat."

Dong Haoyun's face changed, he felt bad, but he didn't contradict him.

Li Huili smiled in agreement, obviously agreeing.

However, as soon as the proposal of the Guangdong Provincial Joint Chamber of Commerce came out, no matter whether it was established or not, it brought a strong sense of crisis to the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.Under this sense of crisis, the Shanghai Shanghai Chamber of Commerce passed a decision to raise 500 million Hong Kong dollars to the chamber of commerce director Shen Jiongming, inject capital into the Fengde Bank under the name of Boss Ke, and let Fengde be registered as an official bank, as the Shanghai Gang The capital pool entered the banking industry to fight against the Chaoshan Gang.

In the past, the people of Shanghai used to be the dominant players in the domestic banking industry, but Hong Kong Island was mostly controlled by British-funded banks, and most of the Chinese-funded banks previously deployed were from Guangdong Province, which made the Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce extremely weak in the banking industry.

Shao Yifu has always wanted to cultivate the local bank of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, but due to the large scale of financing and the new establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, there is a lot of resistance, so he just needs to use his strength to complete a layout.

A month later.

Fung Tak Bank was established and changed banks into offices, with a total of 13 branches in Hong Kong, which are at the third-rate level in the banking industry.

However, Shen Jiongming is a foreign exchange expert who has served as a bank executive in China and launched a number of foreign exchange products, causing a lot of noise in the banking industry.

When He Dingxian received the news of the establishment of Fengde Bank, he was neither happy nor angry. After all, it is normal for a chamber of commerce to launch a representative of the banking industry. The banking industry is such a big market that everyone wants to come in and get a share.

But Fengde did not develop a new business model, and has always followed the path of high-risk speculation. It will close down sooner or later when it encounters a financial crisis.

In the reckless era of the domestic banking industry, many people blindly pursue income, and do not know that the most important thing in the banking industry is to prevent risks!

More than ten days later, the collective vote of the four chambers of commerce in Guangdong Province finally passed. Most of the members of the four chambers of commerce supported the merger. The interim council of the Guangdong Province United Chamber of Commerce was established. The former presidents and vice presidents of the four chambers of commerce were automatically appointed as temporary directors , Responsible for preparing for the official establishment of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, the progress has been smooth and smooth, which does not mean that there is no whirlpool in the water. On the contrary, apart from Luo Wenjin and Xian Defen's family expressing their consent, Zhou Junnian and Jian Leqiang's family have remained silent.

He Dingxian just didn't sit still and seized the opportunity to establish the chamber of commerce early, but Zhou Junnian and Jian Leqiang kept silent, which is not a good sign in itself.

Friday evening.

Just as He Dingxian walked out of the Tai Kwun office building and came to the parking lot, he saw two cars parked beside him. A staff member in a gray suit and tie with a briefcase under his right arm saw him coming and bowed immediately: "Hello, Mr. He."

Lan Gang stood behind the boss with two plain clothes, staring at him unkindly.

He Dingxian was looking at the staff when the door of the car was pushed open suddenly. Luo Wenjin stood beside the car and waved: "Axian, there is a dinner tonight, I want you to accompany me."

"Uncle Jin."

He Dingxian hurriedly called for someone, politely smiled and said, "No problem, where are you going?"

"Get in the car and chat."

Luo Wenjin looked kindly, and got into the car first.He Dingxian handed over the car keys to his subordinates and sat in the car. Lan Gang and others naturally drove the boss's car to follow.Three cars drove out of the gate of Taiguan and headed for the Taiping Mountains.

At this time, Taiping Mountain prohibited citizens from entering, unlike the parks of later generations, which can be visited at will.

Luo Wenjing took the convoy up the mountain after showing a card, but the one-time card was also confiscated.

Finally, the convoy came to the gate of a villa in the middle of the mountain.

The gate was not locked, but the car stopped beside the mountain road. Luo Wenjin, He Dingxian, Lan Gang and others got out of the car and entered the villa one after another.If Lan Gang and the others actually showed a trace of curiosity in their eyes, He Dingxian already knew that Sir Zhou Junnian was going to meet tonight.

"Ah Yin."

"I did everything I could."

Luo Wenjin towered on the stone slab and said in a low voice: "Sir Zhou has been refusing to let go, and Jane is not optimistic about the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce."

"Half and half?"

He Dingxian adjusted his tie: "It can be done."

"Ha ha."

Luo Wenjin shook his head with a wry smile: "It's different from the Jianghu, because the four major families have their own positions, and the conflicts have always been sharper. It has always been the principle of voiding equal votes."

"Whoever breaks this tacit agreement will not be able to survive in the Legislative Council, and the next step is to look at yourself."

He Dingxian restrained his expression.

"understood."

The establishment of a chamber of commerce is different from the struggle of the police force. It is a project to expand cooperation, and everything must be negotiated.

Can't do it.

Hands-on will cause people's instability.

Give people a handle to keep attacking and annihilating.

All the results of negotiations may be in vain.

This is where politics is at its most difficult, and at its most glamorous.

At this time, Zhou Junnian's younger brother, Mr. Zhou Xinian, was wearing a suit, walked out of the building, and greeted him: "Sir Luo and Sir Ho welcome. The house has not been so lively for a long time. Mr. Luo, Mr. Jian Dazhang, and Mr. Xian are already in the house. "

"Thank you."

Luo Wenjin held Zhou Xinian's hand and smiled lightly, while He Dingxian bowed slightly to show the courtesy of the younger generation, and then entered the living room with his father-in-law.Zhou Xinian was about to close the door, but Lan Gang blocked the door with his hand: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Xinian's face darkened immediately, and he turned his head to look at He Dingxian who had just taken two steps, but he saw He Dingxian turned his head and said: "When I meet people, I like to be followed, these people are my brothers and sisters."

"Sir Ho."

"The people in the room are either members of parliament, or knights and justices of the peace." Zhou Xinian's implication was obvious. He felt that the mud legs were not even qualified to stand guard, but He Dingxian beckoned: "Gangzi, come in."

"Yes, sir."

Lan Gang nodded, pushed the door open, and led people into the house.
