Video Game Empire
Chapter 612:
() Because of a pot of Ji Yulu, the sky above the Li family has been filled with low pressure recently. Zhong Chuhong and the two little radishes are caught in a cold war that shows no weakness to each other. On the one hand, his wife wants her to support her policy of reward and punishment for disciplining her children, and on the other hand, he deliberately sells his poor son and daughter in front of his eyes from time to time. Li Xuan is in a dilemma.
Of course, the political climate over Hong Kong has been quite strange recently. Students and citizens have been protesting in front of the Governor's House because of their protests against the Hong Kong government's land and financial policies. Because of dissatisfaction with the perfunctory explanation given by the Hong Kong government on this issue, the protests, which were originally just a handful of radicals, have gradually swept across all classes in Hong Kong, and the newspapers have even slogans for a protracted struggle!
The past week has undoubtedly been a week of collective carnivals for the Hong Kong media industry. This is a serious mass gathering incident that has never occurred in Hong Kong society in the past two decades since the June-July riots!
In the past, occasionally, some taxi drivers were dissatisfied with problems such as illegal cars and money, and gathered on the main roads of Hong Kong to stop transporting to block the traffic. The shock brought by it can't be compared with the current policy of the Hong Kong and British authorities this time!
All newspapers and magazines, without exception, took out a large number of pages and carried out lengthy reports. Replacing taxation with land finance is tantamount to robbing the poor and helping the rich. This novel point of view has aroused violent reactions from all walks of life in Hong Kong, especially the people at the bottom!
Hong Kong's land finance is not something that has only appeared in the last one or two years. In the past two decades, with the vigorous development of Hong Kong's real estate industry, the proportion of land sales revenue in the total revenue of the Hong Kong government has been increasing. For a long time, this kind of land finance was touted as good governance because it underpinned Hong Kong's long-standing low tax policy.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to let everyone pay less tax? This is not necessarily true, because the high cost of land sales directly pushes up housing prices. The government can plunder all the taxes you have underpaid for years or even decades by just passing a house. On the contrary, it is a super rich like Li Xuan, who pays less money every year because of the low tax rate, enough to buy many luxury houses on the Peak!
So overnight, the original good governance suddenly turned into a bad governance that everyone shouted. For this sudden storm, Li Xuan could even imagine the confused expressions on his face when he left the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
As a colony of the British Empire, Hong Kong has neither a trade union nor a political party. The unorganized Hong Kong citizens are far less enthusiastic about political-political rallies, not as high as the British mainland, which is thousands of miles away. But this time, the slogan of the demonstration in front of the Hong Kong Governor's Office even shouted the slogan "London does not need poll tax, Hong Kong does not need land tax"!
Not long ago, on March 31, countless Londoners took to the streets to protest the poll tax bill that the Thatcher cabinet was about to implement the next day. The excited demonstrators clashed with the London police, resulting in more than 100 injuries in the end!
This tragedy directly caused Mrs Thatcher, who was known as the "Iron Lady", to lose people's hearts in the UK! It is rumored that in order to maintain its ruling position, the Conservative Party is likely to force Thatcher to resign as soon as possible and replace it with a new prime minister to restore people's hearts!
The London authorities have been disgraced by this "head tax war", and the Hong Kong and British authorities have also been disgraced by the current situation. At the same time, Li Jiacheng and other real estate giants in Hong Kong, at the invitation of the central government, are about to go north to the capital. There is a lot of news.
This further misled the judgment of the British Hong Kong authorities. They thought that the real estate developers in Hong Kong had secretly reached a private deal with the central government in the north, and were ready to use public opinion to put pressure on the Hong Kong government. You must know that because of the "Rose Garden Project" proposed by the Hong Kong Governor, the relationship between the Hong Kong government and the mainland central government has dropped to the lowest point after the Sino-British negotiation.
However, Hong Kong is only a small place after all. As long as many things are carefully explored, there are not many secrets at all. Although Li Jiacheng came forward to form a group to go north under the pressure of Li Xuan Ruowu, he didn't really need to help Li Xuan put the whole blame on himself.
So when His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong invited Li Jiacheng to have dinner and beat, Li Xuan, the real troublemaker, had already left Hong Kong on his own private jet. After the Hong Kong British authorities find out that he is the real promoter of the whole incident, if the Hong Kong Governor asks him to clean up the mess by name, Li Xuan may really be in trouble.
Although the Orient Group has grown rapidly in the past ten years, through the gradual transformation of Hong Kong's industrial structure, it has established a profound influence on Hong Kong's society and economy, and it has reached the point where even the Hong Kong government cannot easily suppress it. But now Hong Kong is still in the hands of the British after all, and Li Xuan can't really tear his face to lose both.
The so-called in order to avoid the dilemma of eating his own shit, Li Xuan simply came up with thirty-six strategies. As long as he left Hong Kong, the problem was left to the British Hong Kong authorities. Because at this time, it is also impossible for the other party to tear his face. At most, the next time he catches the little braid of the Dongfang Group, he will come back with a disgusting profit.
Of course, the reason for Li Xuan's departure from Hong Kong was not to avoid the limelight, but to go to Austin, Texas, the United States, as the VIP guest speaker at the opening of the conference at the invitation of the Organizing Committee of the First Global Internet Conference. City to give a speech.
After attending the Global Internet Conference, Li Xuan will also fly to New York to participate in the bell-ringing ceremony of the company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange as the largest shareholder of Eastern System Software. With these two reasons, no one can pick on Li Xuan's faults.
To say that Li Xuan's butterfly flapping wings has brought the biggest change to the world, it is undoubtedly accelerating the development of it and the Internet industry. For example, the computing performance of the CPU, the core component that best represents computer performance, has accelerated by almost three to five years compared to the same period in another time and space.
And the progress in the Internet field has also entered the fast lane of development four or five years ahead of another time and space. In another time and space, until Clinton came to power, the Internet infrastructure in the United States will not really begin to enter a period of rapid development under the vigorous promotion of the Democratic former senator, Clinton's running mate, and the new US Vice President Al Gore. .
But now, under the intervention of Li Xuan, Bush Sr., who easily won the U.S. presidency with the remnants of the "Reagan era", began to fulfill his campaign promises shortly after taking office.
You must know that under Li Xuan's guidance, Silicon Valley, which was generally inclined to the Democratic camp, provided a huge amount of campaign funds for Bush and the Republican Party in the 1988 US presidential election.
The elder Bush naturally wanted to reciprocate, and as soon as he came to power, he began to vigorously support the development of high-tech industries represented by it, the Internet, and biotechnology. Under the constant hype of Li Xuan and Dongfang Group, the Internet has been a fashionable term in American society in recent years.
After getting the political endorsement of the new president, a large amount of capital began to pour into this emerging industry crazily. So since last year, the Internet industry in the United States has ushered in a round of explosive growth.
Don't look at how the Oriental Group shouted loudly before, and even built a model project in Hong Kong, but the influence of a company is completely different from that of the United States, the world's number one superpower. Driven by the United States, governments in Europe, Japan and other countries have also followed up and introduced relevant support policies. It is against this background that the first Global Internet Conference was born.
Logically speaking, San Francisco Silicon Valley, as the center of the global IT industry, should be the best choice for the first World Internet Conference. However, the Austin city government, which has a more positive attitude, was able to successfully cut off the hustle in the end, and this is naturally inseparable from the explicit or implicit support of the White House.
Austin is the capital and political center of Texas. In recent years, he has learned from Silicon Valley that high-tech industries such as semiconductors and computers are the focus of development. Texas is the hometown of the Bush family. It should be said that the former Bush family followed the traditional Republican line, relying on oil and military industry to start their business.
But with the emergence of Li Xuan, the high-tech industry has also become an important new support camp for the Republican Party. Austin, who is determined to develop into a "Silicon Hill", has become more and more important to the Bush family and the entire Republican Party.
After all, California has been one of the Democratic Party's important vote bases in the past few decades. Rather than continue to compete with the Democrats in Silicon Valley, it is better to attract those high-tech companies directly to Austin~www.readwn.com~ After all, this is the home of the Republican Party.
Austin also has its own unique advantages. Whether it is land price or labor cost, it is a lot lower than Silicon Valley where land is expensive, which can significantly reduce the investment cost of enterprises.
After nearly ten years of combining interests, the Bush family has become Li Xuan's most important political ally in the United States. Therefore, the Oriental Group has vigorously cooperated with Austin's emerging industry layout from the very beginning, and has spent a lot of money here in the past few years, becoming its second R&D and manufacturing base in the United States. It is also under the leading effect of the Eastern Group that more and more Silicon Valley companies have begun to invest and build factories in Texas.
Since Bush Sr. ascended the throne of the US president, Li Xuan's previous political investment has also begun to get the most lucrative returns. For example, after Bush entered the White House, he began to accelerate the computerized office of various departments of the federal government. In many government procurement tenders, many subsidiaries of Dongfang Group, including iKang, Dongfang System Software, Dongfang Commercial Software, etc., have successfully won the bid.
You must know that government procurement has always been a very sensitive matter. For example, domestic media in another time and space have repeatedly reported that Microsoft was excluded from the domestic government procurement directory. In addition to supporting domestic production, the reason for this is also due to national information security considerations.
And the Oriental Group, with foreign companies on its head, is likely to be excluded from the competition list by its American counterparts for the same reason. But with the **** of Bush Sr., the Eastern Group successfully took the most difficult first step. Under the condition that the Oriental Group has already obtained the admission ticket, if the competitors want to sweep it out, the difficulty will undoubtedly increase greatly!
