In 83, the White Swan Hotel in Guangdong City was officially opened.
This is the first Sino-foreign joint venture hotel in China.
It is also the first five-star hotel in China.
In the first year, the leaders of China visited the White Swan three times.
The Queen of the Eagle, the President of the Beautiful Country, the Chancellor of Germany, and the King of Sweden have also visited here.
Even from today's point of view, White Swan is considered a high-end hotel, let alone in China in 1983.
The location of the White Swan Hotel was once the concentration of foreign consulates in China.
The core area of the Yuecheng Concession.
There was also a "provincial and Hong Kong strike" that shocked China and the rest of the world.
As the best of the best, at that time, it was destined to be a hotel that could only be stayed by foreign guests, and it was appropriate to choose it in the center of the concession?
Huo Yingdong thinks it is very suitable.
Because he announced that the White Swan Hotel will be completely open to the public, any Chinese can enter, and no consumer status is required.
For a time, countless citizens poured into the White Swan Hotel.
In one day, 500 rolls of toilet paper were used up in the hotel.
Everyone felt that it was inappropriate to do this, but Huo Yingdong insisted on doing so.
Huo Yingdong's response to this was:
"It's not a colony anymore, so how can foreigners come in? Can't the Chinese come in? In that case, there will be a lot of controversy. Quite simply, if you break the carpet or something, count it on my account. But it is absolutely unacceptable that foreigners can come in and Chinese people cannot come in. "
White Swan Hotel, foreign guests can enter, Chinese people can also enter.
And ordinary Chinese people can enter.
After the freshness passed, the citizens also dispersed, and did not stay in the White Swan Hotel every day, which did not affect the operation of the White Swan Hotel.
In 1984, when the old man made his first southern tour, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Pearl River on the 28th floor of the White Swan Hotel, he suddenly turned around and took Huo Yingdong's hand and said in a thick Sichuan accent:
"Thank you, the white swan is good, very good!".
The old man said two very good things in a row, which was a full affirmation of Huo Yingdong.
For the White Swan Hotel, he was very satisfied.
From the construction of these two hotels, we can see that Huo Yingdong's investment in the mainland is based on what the mainland needs most at that stage, rather than what makes the fastest money.
In 1986, Huo Yingdong received a call from Yanjing, hoping that he would take the lead in developing Hainan.
As a result, Huo Yingdong was "ordered" to develop Hainan.
Where there is need to be pioneered, and where there is huge uncertainty, Huo Yingdong will be the first to go.
The investment project is also based on the ability to quickly help the local government open up the situation, rather than making money.
Not to mention the various bridge projects donated by Huo Yingdong.
Moreover, it is designated that Chinese people will build bridges, and foreigners will not be allowed to build bridges, which has made an indelible contribution to the accumulation of the first batch of bridge engineering talents in China.
Therefore, although Huo Yingdong entered the mainland as soon as Huaxia reopened, and persevered to the end, it can be said that the dividends of Huaxia's reopening have eaten from the head to the tail.
And Li Chaoren came in 15 years later, Huo Yingdong.
But Huo Yingdong made far less money in the mainland than Li Chaoren.
But a person's contribution is counted in the country's heart.
It is by no means judged by money.
In 1984, the 35th anniversary of the National Day parade, Huo Yingdong was invited again.
This time, Huo Yingdong saw that the motherland had just successfully developed an intercontinental strategic missile that made its debut in the world for the first time, and tears flowed in public.
Li Chaoren was not invited.
From this moment on, Li Chaoren's position in the eyes of the mainland could no longer be compared with Huo Yingdong.
The two are no longer people of the same level.
In the eyes of the mainland, Li Chaoren is just a businessman who can make money, and he is no longer a "reliable comrade".
"Needless to say, you and I are well aware of Uncle Huo's dedication to the mainland, and even the entire Hong Kong Island society, there is nothing to say about this. Li Chaoren spoke calmly.
"Dad, after returning, will the Huo family come back to life?" Xiao Superman didn't dwell on this anymore, and changed the topic and asked.
Li Superman pondered for a moment and shook his head:
"I don't know, but all industries on Hong Kong Island have been carved up, and the Huo family wants to re-enter the game, so it depends on whether that group of people agrees. "
"However, the Huo family has the support of the mainland, and I am worried that the mainland will influence the SAR government to suppress us administratively in order to support the Huo family. Help the Huo family ascend to the throne. Superman voiced his concerns.
How did their four major families get to the throne?
Of course, it was the rogue suppression of the British government in Hong Kong that forced Huo Yingdong to withdraw from the real estate market and sell all the land and assets.
After Huo Yingdong was forced to leave, the four major families frantically bought land and became a new generation of real estate developers.
and eventually earned an astronomical fortune and became one of the four major families on Hong Kong Island.
If Huo Yingdong was still in the real estate industry back then, with his talent in real estate, there was actually no possibility for the four major families to get rich.
Not only that, but it also has the right to operate a container terminal on Hong Kong Island.
Huo Yingdong was still suppressed by the British government in Hong Kong with rogue and brutal administrative methods, suffered huge losses, and finally cheapened the Dong family.
The surname Dong finally became the king of ships on Hong Kong Island, one of the seven major ship kings in the world.
And Huo Yingdong was forced out again.
These two failures caused the Huo family's wealth to shrink sharply.
Later, in order to avoid the crackdown of the British government in Hong Kong, Huo Yingdong took over countless projects that were not profitable but beneficial to the citizens of Hong Kong Island.
As long as someone wants a project, it will not be given to Huo Yingdong.
No one wanted it but had to do it, so he called Huo Yingdong to come and do it.
As a result, Wen Wei Po called Fok Yingdong the most influential industrialist on Hong Kong Island.
However, the money did not make a few.
Combined with Huo Yingdong's experience, Little Superman was worried that their four major families would also experience the same experience and be suppressed by the SAR government, so as to support the Huo family to take the throne.
