The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 598 Full Schedule

This battle achieved a great victory!
Similarly, many soldiers with military merits and honors were born!

The third-class merit, second-class merit, and first-class merit are awards for personal military merit. There are also personal honorary titles such as combat hero, especially first-class combat hero. Even in the ten-year war, there are not many people who can get the title of first-class combat hero.

Not all of them were able to attend the commendation conference, as some were recuperating in the hospital.

In addition to personal military achievements and personal honors.

There is also collective honor!

Two heavy combined brigades, the other heavy combined brigade besides the "Tiger Brigade", was awarded the title of "Brave Brigade"; two medium combined brigades, the other medium combined brigade besides the "Tiger Brigade", was awarded the title of "Tiger and Leopard Brigade"; two light combined brigades, the other light combined brigade besides the "Eagle Brigade", was awarded the title of "Dragon Brigade".

The special brigade flag will be the honor of a combined brigade and the soul of the army, and will be passed down from generation to generation.

After the commendation meeting, everyone went about their own business.

The 'Brave Brigade' will head north to the 'Zhu Rihe' military training base, and the 'Tiger and Leopard Brigade' will go to a military camp in Kunming City.

After leaving the Malong Military Training Base, Liu Tao took a special plane to Hong Kong.

The most important thing for this visit to Hong Kong is the holding of shareholders' meetings of various listed companies. Only after the shareholders' meeting will the profits to be distributed be distributed.

At this time, the stock prices of these listed companies will rise in an attempt to obtain dividends.

Another thing is the shipping group.

Since the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq shipping war, shipping groups have rented a large number of tankers to transport oil to the Persian Gulf.

Every day, the shipping group transports 600 million barrels of oil from the Persian Gulf to all parts of the world, making it the world's largest oil shipping group.

Part of these 600 million barrels of oil were transported to Europe, part to the United States, and the rest to various refineries in China.

As for Singapore, it was in big trouble.

Previously, Singapore was the world's third largest refining center after Rotterdam in the Netherlands and New York in the United States.

Even though Jurong Island, which later accounted for two-fifths of Singapore's entire refining capacity, had not yet been reclaimed, the current daily crude oil refining capacity exceeded 200 million barrels, and the oil transported back through the Red Sea could not meet Singapore's refining needs at all.

Since Liu Tao transports the oil out of the Persian Gulf, he naturally will not transport the oil to the Singapore refinery, which would bring benefits to Singapore.

From a certain perspective, Singapore and Hong Kong are in a competitive relationship.

Liu Tao transported the oil to China's refineries for refining. In addition to meeting China's oil needs, the oil was also exported to Japan and South Korea. These two countries also needed a large amount of oil, but they had no oil resources and were oil-poor countries.

During this period, Liu Tao made a lot of money from oil trade.

Although the shipping group only makes money from freight, this is enough to make the shipping group's semi-annual financial report look very good.

Coming to Hong Kong again, Liu Tao felt that Hong Kong was even more prosperous.

Last year's super Black Monday seemed to have never happened, and the stock market is booming even more than before last year's stock market crash.

The whole of Hong Kong is developing very rapidly.

A new group of wealthy people are born here every year.

Hong Kong's industrial capacity is constantly increasing, and its industrial output value has reached an exaggerated level.

Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, North District, Tai Po District, Tsuen Wan District, Sha Tin District and Sai Kung District are developing very rapidly. I am afraid that in a few years, they will catch up with Hong Kong Island and Kowloon!

Last year, Hong Kong’s GDP exceeded US$1100 billion, almost equivalent to South Korea’s GDP. As for Singapore, its GDP last year was less than US$200 billion.

When Liu Tao arrived in Hong Kong, he was impressed by the changes in Hong Kong. More and more people were using mobile phones, and more and more people were using computers for work.

Means of transportation, buses. More and more buses produced by China Automobile Group are appearing on the roads of Hong Kong. Cars produced by China Automobile Group have become the choice of more and more people in Hong Kong. Similarly, motorcycles produced by China Motorcycle Group also dominate the Hong Kong market.

China Automobile Group's cars almost dominate the Hong Kong market, except for the lack of sports cars and high-end sedans.

The room at the Peninsula Hotel where Liu Tao stayed was even equipped with a computer.

After taking a shower and eating something, in the suite, the secretary was reporting to Liu Tao about the itinerary arrangements for Hong Kong.

This time he will stay in Hong Kong for a week, attending five shareholder meetings and three cocktail parties.

It can be said that the entire itinerary was fully scheduled.

"By the way, Mr. Huo is holding a cocktail party tomorrow night and invites you to attend. Do you want to attend?" said the secretary.

Liu Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Reply to the other party that I will attend the cocktail party tomorrow night."

The two sides have cooperated very closely over the years.

Of course, Ho Ying-Tong also made huge investments in the mainland, which played a good exemplary role, and he also made great contributions to Chinese sports.

Ho Ying-tung was also tactful and did not touch some areas that should not be touched.

As the richest man in China today, the richest Chinese in the world, and a super-rich man ranked in the top ten of the world's richest list, Stanley Ho has a great influence.

However, according to the rules, Fok Ying-tung has handed over his business affairs to his children, at least on the surface. Now on the surface, Fok Ying-tung is giving up business to enter politics.

In terms of rank, he is above Liu Tao.

No matter from which perspective, since Stanley Ho invited him to the cocktail party, he had to give him face.

This is not only the personal friendship that has been formed over the years, but also the cooperation between the two sides. On a larger scale, this is related to the stability and development of Hong Kong.

Because of Liu Tao, the fate of Hong Kong changed and its economic structure underwent tremendous changes, which led to the ceiling for traditional Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong being locked.

If you want to become a super rich person, it is not enough to rely solely on Hong Kong real estate.

Not to mention, a large amount of land in Hong Kong is controlled by Liu Tao, and they have no way to control the entire Hong Kong real estate.

The Hong Kong of today is no longer the Hong Kong of the past. The higher-ups are keeping a close eye on it and that kind of situation will never happen.

And Henry Fok is the role model that has been established.

"Also, Mr. Dong would like to invite you for afternoon tea. You can decide the time." The secretary flipped through his notebook and said.

Liu Tao knew who the Dong Daheng the secretary was talking about. It was the current leader of the Dong family - Dong Jianhua.

The previous head of the Dong family, Dong Haoyun, was also the founder of the Dong family. He was the founder of the East China Overseas Container Line, a pioneer of modern Chinese shipping, and one of the "Seven Greatest Shipowners in the World".

Previously, the world's seven largest shipowners were Pao Yue-kong, Tung Ho-yun, Livanos, Onassis, Bergson, Sharan, and Niagos. These seven were the world's largest independent shipowners.

At that time, Bao Yugang's Global Group had a ship tonnage of more than 1300 million tons, ranking first in the world, while Dong Hao operated 149 ships with a total tonnage of 1100 million tons.

After Dong Haoyun passed away in 1982, his son Dong Jianhua took over the Fok family. He did not follow Pao Yue-kong's example and abandon the ship and go ashore. Instead, he continued to purchase large cargo ships. Taking advantage of the favorable conditions of sea transportation, he was able to prosper.

However, after the death of old man Dong Haoyun, Dong Jianhua and others were inevitably one generation younger than other tycoons and their methods were slightly inferior, so the Dong family could not even make it into the top ten families in Hong Kong.
