The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 877: Throwing wine in the face!

Currently, there are three shipyards in Shanghai, namely Shanghai Shipyard, Hudong Shipyard and Jiangnan Shipyard, which are building warships in Shanghai.

The Modu Shipyard mainly builds missile boats and torpedo boats, and a small number of Type 054 frigates; the Hudong Shipyard mainly builds Type 054 frigates, and a small number of missile boats and torpedo boats.

Jiangnan Shipyard mainly builds Type 052 destroyers, a small number of Type 054 frigates, and minesweepers and reconnaissance ships.

Of course, the three major shipyards currently mainly build civilian ships, and military ships account for about one-third of their production capacity.

Each of the three major shipyards is now full of orders, but the original factory area has not been expanded. Instead, a new factory is being built on Chongming Island. It is planned to move completely to Chongming Island in the next fifteen years.

Chongming Island is an alluvial island in the Yangtze River Delta and the third largest island in China, with an area of ​​1100 square kilometers. The island is low-lying and belongs to the Yangtze River alluvial plain. It is 76 kilometers long from east to west and 13 to 18 kilometers wide from north to south. It has a population of 74.5. Chongming Island continues to be affected by the accumulation of silt from the Yangtze River, with an increase of 5 square kilometers of land each year. It is expected to border the land to the north in 70 years.

Chongming Island has always been known as the "Gateway to the Yangtze River and Yingzhou of the East China Sea". It is the largest estuarine alluvial island and the largest sand island in China.

The three major shipyards plan to relocate to Chongming Island. Firstly, the original shipyard land can obtain higher economic value, which is beneficial to local development. Secondly, there is no room for the development of shipyards around the current shipyards in Shanghai. By moving to Chongming Island, the three major shipyards will have a larger construction space. Thirdly, the three major shipyards not only build civilian ships, but also warships. Manufacturing ships in the city center is not a long-term solution. It is harmful to confidentiality work and urban development. Relocating to Chongming Island is beneficial to the construction of domestic naval equipment.

The relocation of the three major shipyards to Chongming Island was influenced by the Yangcheng Shipyard, which was located on the island. The entire island was built into a shipyard and port, forming the largest shipyard in the country.

Of course, compared with Yangcheng Shipyard, Mawei Shipyard, etc., the three major shipyards in Shanghai cannot produce as many warships as they want, because the three major shipyards in Shanghai cannot afford the navy's credit. They can only produce as many warships as the navy gives them.

After staying in Shanghai for a total of seven days, Liu Tao went to Hong Kong.

The annual shareholders' meeting will be held intensively during this period.

Liu Tao has to attend the shareholders' meetings of these listed companies. This is also to reassure people and avoid malicious interpretations.

Among the companies controlled by Panshan Group, there are 1,000 listed companies in Hong Kong, including two super-large banks, Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Bank, which are also currently internationally renowned large banks with branches in almost every continent and country.

Then there are four large banks, namely Hong Kong Construction Bank, Hong Kong Commercial Bank, Hong Kong Development Bank and Hong Kong Everbright Bank. The scale of these four large banks is not inferior to HSBC.

The eight medium-sized banks are currently not only meeting the development needs of Hong Kong, but are also beginning to expand into the Mainland and Southeast Asia.

These fourteen banks are all companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and must hold a shareholders' meeting at least once a year.

The general meeting of shareholders is of great significance to each shareholder and is also related to the shareholders' confidence in listed companies.

The fourteen banks have a firm influence on the entire Hong Kong's finance and dominate Hong Kong's finance.

As for HSBC Hong Kong, Chinese capital currently holds the majority of the shares, but British capital also holds a considerable amount of shares and still has great influence.

Liu Tao had no intention of cleaning up HSBC, but rather keeping an eye on it to prevent it from doing anything rash.

Fourteen banks currently operate in the Mainland and have provided a large amount of loans to Mainland enterprises as funds for enterprise development.

Of course, the operations of the fourteen banks in the Mainland also brought in considerable profits.

The mainland banking industry is currently in a stage of rapid development.

Just like the saying goes, as long as you stand in the right place, even a pig can take off.

With advanced concepts and strong financial resources, the fourteen banks operating in the mainland can generate very good profits every year.

These 14 banks have forced the four major state-owned banks to reform and improve themselves. In addition to the 14 banks, there are 10 listed companies including Hong Kong Ports Group, Far East Shipping Group, and Hong Kong Land Group.

As for companies that are not listed, there are even more of them.

Liu Tao arrived in Hong Kong and held a cocktail party at the Peninsula Hotel the next night. The banquet hall was packed with guests. Those who could attend the cocktail party were all well-known figures in Hong Kong.

Most people can’t even get an invitation to a banquet.

There are both old and new wealthy businessmen here.

Qian Huaqiang was very good at dancing at the party, and Li Jiaxin held his hand and added some embellishment.

The people around Liu Tao at this time were all wealthy people and important figures.

Li Jiaxin's face was full of smiles and pride at this time.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen also came to the cocktail party. Liu Ziyu's eyes were spitting fire at this time. She didn't expect that her elder sister was in Beijing taking care of the children and bringing them up to be useful people, while Qian Huaqiang was out there spending money on wine and women.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Liu Ziyu walked over and poured the glass of wine in his hand directly at the two of them.

All of a sudden, everyone in the banquet hall turned their eyes to Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen.

"Scumbag!" Liu Ziyu said angrily, and then glared at Li Jiaxin angrily: "Shameless woman!"

Many people were surprised. They did not expect that someone would offend a big shot like Qian Huaqiang.

Qian Huaqiang's wealth in Hong Kong is not much, at least not even in the top 100, but Qian Huaqiang has a special status. Anyone who knows Qian Huaqiang's background respects Qian Huaqiang.

It’s not about giving Qian Huaqiang some face, but about giving face to those behind Qian Huaqiang.

Look at Liu Ziyu and Chen Nien-zhen again. Some people may recognize these two, the recent legendary figures in Hong Kong.

Dandelion Computer Systems Co., Ltd. in Kunming, Yunnan Province is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its current share price is HK$10 per share, with a market value of HK$700 billion. Liu Ziyu holds 40 billion shares and has a net worth of HK$400 billion; Chen Nien-zhen holds 20 billion shares and has a net worth of HK$200 billion.

With this kind of wealth, they would be considered super-rich in Hong Kong, and there are only a handful of people who are richer than them.

Liu Ziyu became the richest woman in China and the richest person in mainland China; Chen Nianzhen became the second richest woman in China and the second richest person in mainland China.

The myth of wealth creation created by the listing of Dandelion Computer Systems Co., Ltd. in Kunming City, Yunnan Province shocked the whole of Hong Kong and the whole of China.

This IPO created two billionaires, six multi-billionaires, and hundreds of multi-millionaires. Even the company's cleaning lady is a millionaire, and the new employees who had just graduated and joined the company have become millionaires.

But they couldn't figure out what grudge the two had and why they would throw wine at Qian Huaqiang in such an occasion.

Scumbag?

Could it be that Qian Huaqiang had a romantic debt in the mainland?
However, if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face.
