Businessmen are always the group that cares most about politics. When the government sends a good signal, it can double the profits of businesses, but with what seems like a simple adjustment by the government, a prosperous industry can fall into the abyss. In the past year, all the bosses, presidents and chairman of the board in Xiangjiang have been most concerned about the ownership and direction of this city, and the Zeng family is a member of this group.
Last September, when British Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher held a dialogue with a Chinese chief minister in the capital, the chief executive said that the Chinese government would take back Hong Kong, but it would not affect the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong. Immediately, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index fell 25 points. Uncle Zeng, who is familiar with the executive committee of the Chinese Manufacturers' Federation in Hong Kong, even knew that when a certain vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Congress met with representatives of their federation, he pointed out that the Chinese government would take back Hong Kong no later than 1997. Although the vice chairman promised that after 1997, "Hong Kong people rule Hong Kong", the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong and the lifestyle of Hong Kong citizens will remain unchanged.
No one knows whether the Chinese government's promise can be fulfilled, and now panic has emerged in Hong Kong. A large number of Hong Kong people are trying their best to leave Hong Kong. The most obvious manifestation in the market is the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar, which hit 6.97 on October 26. All time low. What worries Sanshu Zeng even more now is that a kid came to Hong Kong with billions of dollars. If there was no sign of the Chinese government behind him, he would not believe it even to death. No wonder Li Chaoren has to fight with these people. Meet, this is the Raptors crossing the river.
However, Uncle Zeng¡¯s idea is really an injustice to our Shuangxi brother. In terms of his relationship with the government, he did earn the funds through smooth sailing. He came to Hong Kong for development only because of the overall development environment in the country. , there is still a big gap between future generations, just like what he promised to Mr. Deng, he just came to Xiangjiang to borrow a shell, and the money will eventually be invested in the country.
Such a small misunderstanding immediately made Zeng Xiaoxian's status in the Zeng family rise greatly. Not only did Zeng's second uncle give him a Bentley, Zeng's third uncle also repeatedly promised to support his film company, and he also hoped to participate in Li Chaoren's film. during the talks. It stands to reason that the relationship between Zeng and Li's family is good, so it is okay to ask Li Chaoren directly for this request. However, thinking that doing so will make the guests feel disgusted, it is better to let his nephew be the lobbyist.
With so many benefits, Zeng Xiaoxian naturally went to do things honestly. Liu Guoqing and others had just woken up in the hotel, and he was already waiting in the hotel lobby. Later, while having breakfast, they mentioned Li Chaoren's invitation and the idea of ??Uncle Zeng accompanying him.
Regarding this sudden invitation, Liu Guoqing and Zhu Wenhua were immediately at a loss. They knew Li Chaoren, a man of the hour in Hong Kong, but the only person they knew well in Xiangjiang was Zeng Xiaoxian, otherwise they wouldn't just I plan to cooperate with him.
Compared with the nervousness of his parents, Liu Shuangxi is much calmer. After all, he has been in contact with big people a lot since his rebirth. After these big people lose their halo, they all have one nose and two eyes. After getting familiar with them, they no longer have that sense of mystery.
"Uncle Zeng, it seems that we don't know this Mr. Li either. I wonder what's the reason for his invitation this time?" In fact, Liu Shuangxi's status as a wealthy man is not worthy of Liu Shuangxi's attention now. In terms of the speed of wealth accumulation, I believe that no one in the world today can compare with this little kid.
In addition to the wealth of this old gentleman, what Liu Shuangxi respects more is his philanthropic spirit. Not to mention that he has donated more than 10 billion in assets in his life, this can be seen simply from his philanthropic mentality: What I do is not charity, but public welfare. . Saying charity doesn't look good on the person receiving the donation.
Liu Shuangxi's words really stopped Zeng Xiaoxian. When Li Chaoren made an appointment in Xiangjiang, no one wanted to ask why in advance, so he had to answer awkwardly: "Well, Shuangxi, Mr. Li invited me this time." It was conveyed through my second uncle, and I didn¡¯t ask about the specific situation As for my third uncle¡¯s wish to accompany you, he only told me on the spur of the moment after I mentioned your situation after I went back last night.¡±
After hearing this, Liu Shuangxi secretly sighed, oh this great uncle, no wonder the film company his family gave him was living half-heartedly by renting out equipment. He was not a business material at all. Forget it, they are also elders anyway, so if you invite me, just go and go.
Since you have to go to the appointment, you have to prepare in advance. Zeng Xiaoxian accompanied Liu Guoqing and his wife to buy some gifts for visiting friends from Xiangjiang, while Liu Shuangxi and Liu Changtian stayed in the hotel to exchange their views on this matter.
"Shuangxi, Mr. Li's invitation probably has to be mentioned by Zeng Xiaoxian. The higher-ups are more concerned about the transfer of this fund to Xiangjiang, and we must find out who our partners are. To understand a wealthy family like the Zeng family, it is natural to ask Consult the person corresponding to his identity, and Mr. Li is the most suitable person."
Liu Shuangxi also anticipated this possibility, butBut Li Chaoren knew their reasons, so he asked: "Master, even if Mr. Li knew about us, we wouldn't take the initiative to invite them as soon as we arrived in Xiangjiang."
Liu Changtian thought for a while and then said: "If I remember correctly, before I went to Japan in the autumn of 1978, the master had said that he would receive a guest from Xiangjiang named Li, and this guest was personally invited by Deng Gong. From this we can infer that Come down, this Mr. Li still has some friendship with us."
Liu Shuangxi understood at this time, no wonder Deng Gong knew he was going to take the money to Xiangjiang and agreed so happily. It turned out that good people were arranged here to take care of him. Naturally, I have to understand the old man's thoughts, and it should be a good thing to cooperate with this richest man.
So before meeting Li Chaoren, Liu Shuangxi carefully considered the projects that the two parties could communicate with. At this time, the main business of "Cheung Kong Holdings" is still in the development and investment of Xiangjiang real estate, as a developer and contractor? It seems like I have no interest in doing this myself. The main business of "Whampoa Hutchison" is now only the container terminal. The Xiangjiang market is already very saturated, and it will definitely not let itself get involved.
There is currently no suitable one, so Liu Shuangxi began to think about Li Chaoren's future business. It seems that next year "Cheung Kong Industries" will acquire the controlling equity of "Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company". If the Chinese side takes control of Hong Kong's electricity, it is estimated that the British Hong Kong government will immediately be restless. However, this energy industry is indeed the top priority for China's future development. Since it is not suitable to operate it in Xiangjiang, it can be operated back home, which just fulfills the original promise with Grandpa Deng.
Soon after Liu Shuangxi made up his mind, Zeng Xiaoxian took them to 79 Deep Water Bay Road.
(It¡¯s still more than minus ten degrees in March in Yangchun. Laojiu really has a cold. After taking medicine, his head has been dizzy. I can barely code this chapter. If tomorrow is not good, I will get an intravenous drip as soon as possible. I hope everyone can understand. )
