Chapter 1124: Bingley Island
Huo Yingdong no longer struggles with this, the most important thing for him today is to understand some of Li Guangyu's views on Xiangjiang, as well as Li Guangyu's plan for Bingley Island, which is quite large, with a full area of thirteen square kilometers, only the Li consortium is willing to spend money, and it is not a problem for hundreds of thousands of people to live on it.
Although there are no people on it, the population is large, and there is a lack of fresh water resources, Huo Yingdong believes that the Li consortium can solve this problem.
And the tax there is owned by Zhang Ziyu in name, because it was given to the Li consortium by the British, but in the name of Zhang Ziyu, and now the island has been subleased to the Li consortium, with a lease term of 999 years, a rent of 1 pound, and all the income on the island belongs to the Li consortium.
This also makes the tax disguised attribution to the Li consortium, whether the Li consortium will change the registration place of the major groups to Bentley Island, this is also a question that Huo Yingdong is very concerned about, once the Li consortium changes the registration place of Xiangjiang enterprises, it will definitely cause a shock in the Xiangjiang financial market.
Huo Yingdong believes that it is definitely ill-intentioned for Britain to give the Li consortium such an island at such a time, because the area of the island is not bad, and various departments and institutions can be established in name, and these departments and institutions are under the management of Zhang Ziyu.
Britain is simply stimulating Li Guangyu's inner desire, as long as Li Guangyu is willing, he can go there to be a soil emperor.
According to the information obtained by Huo Yingdong, a port and airport are being built on Bentley Island, and Bentley Island will definitely be an important area for the Li consortium in the future.
He didn't go around in circles with Li Guangyu, he went straight to the point, and said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, since the issuance of the joint statement on Hong Kong, Hong Kong's economic development has been very rapid, and the Hang Seng Index has also climbed to new highs, which is enough to show the achievements and potential of Hong Kong's development, I don't know what your views are on the future of Hong Kong?"
"I've always said that, and I've always done that, and since Huo Sheng asked again, I'll explain my point of view again.
I grew up in Xiangjiang, and I firmly believe that Xiangjiang will have great prospects in the future, especially in the past few years, Xiangjiang education has been greatly improved, the rapid development of Xiangjiang's high-tech industry has avoided the hollowing out of Xiangjiang's industry, the housing prices in Xiangjiang have been well suppressed, Xiangjiang medical care has also made great progress, and Xiangjiang finance has flourished.
I am very optimistic about the future of Hong Kong, and my industries will unswervingly base themselves on Hong Kong and develop to other places. ”
Huo Yingdong knew that Xiangjiang could have such a good situation as it is now, and Li Guangyu had made great contributions, if it were not for Li Guangyu's establishment of the Phoenix Group Game Group and the establishment of a high-tech industry incubation park with the Xiangjiang Bank consortium, Xiangjiang would have almost been blank in the high-tech industry dominated by the semiconductor and Internet industries.
The reason why housing prices in Xiangjiang have been suppressed over the years is inseparable from Li Guangyu and his allies, which is why some family owners at the helm of the real estate builders chamber of commerce at the beginning of the year wanted to formulate rules to restrict Li Guangyu.
In the past few years, the Li consortium and its allies have developed too many real estate projects, and the prices are relatively low, which has also caused the housing prices in Xiangjiang to rise rapidly.
You must know that Li Guangyu's development is very terrifying, generally in a two-year cycle, there are tens of thousands of residences at a time, and the needs of Xiangjiang are enough to meet their development, and these who want high prices can only smash the real estate in their own hands.
Needless to say, the Lee consortium and its allies now have more higher education institutions than the government, and the graduates of these schools are more suitable for the development needs of Hong Kong.
In this regard, both he and the high-level officials in the mainland have praised Li Guangyu's approach, which shows that Li Guangyu is not only a businessman, but also an entrepreneur with a very strong sense of social responsibility.
If it weren't for Bingley Island, if it weren't for the political research room, if it weren't for the nearly 500-strong special operations team, they wouldn't have had any worries, but after having these things, they had to think more about it.
He said loudly: "Li Sheng, as far as I know, you are developing Bentley Island in the Indian Ocean near the Maldives, I wonder what your plans are for this island?"
Li Guangyu knew that it was not simple for Huo Yingdong to invite him to afternoon tea, it turned out that he came for Bentley Island.
Li Guangyu specially discussed the development plan of this island with the personnel of the executive team, and Li Guangyu did not want to pay attention to it for the time being.
According to the logic of normal businessmen, with their own territory, the tax here belongs to themselves, which is simply the natural place of registration of their own enterprises, which can reduce a lot of tax expenses for the Li consortium.
It's a pity that Li Guangyu has no such plans for the time being, he will only transfer a few funds from Bermuda to Bentley Island, and as for the major enterprises, he has no idea of changing the place of registration.
Although these companies will pay some taxes, they can also increase their influence in these areas and can also receive preferential policy treatment.
Moreover, the tax on the Xiangjiang side is relatively low, and the restrictions on enterprises are reduced, and Li Guangyu does not need to choose to change the place of registration for the annual tax payment, which will only outweigh the losses.
Li Guangyu said: "It seems that Huo Sheng's news is very well-informed, and the current name of the island is only clear to the British government, our high-level management, Wheelock Shipping Company and the construction personnel on the island, but I didn't expect Huo Sheng to know much about it."
Please rest assured that Bentley Island is intended to be an offshore hub like Cayman and Bermuda.
And now we are stepping up the construction of airports and ports, and we will also build resort hotels, townhouses, and a series of supporting facilities, supplemented by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's permission to list offshore companies registered in Bentley Island, I believe that Bentley Island can become a bustling island in the Indian Ocean. ”
At present, offshore companies in Cayman and Bermuda can be listed in Hong Kong, and once Bentley Island also takes such treatment, the future development of Bentley Island will be unlimited.
You must know that the main market makers listed in Hong Kong are Bank of Hong Kong, Tianyu Investment Company, Sun Hung Kai Securities Company, Bank of East Asia, and Hong Kong Asia Commercial Bank, all of which belong to the Lee consortium or its allies.
Listening to Li Guangyu's plan for Bentley Island, Huo Yingdong was also a lot more relieved, what he was most worried about was that Li Guangyu would use Bentley Island as a forbidden area for his security company training, which would be a big problem, because no one knew what would be on that island.
Huo Yingdong knew that the Donghua Trading Company under the Li consortium was doing a hot business with Eastern Europe, and Zhou Zhigang even flew to Vienna in person to discuss with some people in Eastern Europe about the technology acquisition and production equipment purchase of the petrochemical group.
Eastern Europe now dares to sell anything, the Li consortium really needs some special equipment, and they definitely dare to sell it, they don't care about Li Guangyu's identity at all, as long as the Li consortium gives money or materials.
In addition, the Lee consortium's own fleet can be shipped directly from Eastern Europe, they can transport some equipment to Bentley Island without knowing it, and many of the security companies are retired personnel from various countries, so there may be no shortage of such talents.
Now Li Guangyu is ready to use this island as an offshore center and tourism building, which shows that Li Guangyu does not have such an idea, after all, it is difficult for people to travel on an island, and it is difficult for an island to hide some big guys.
Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "I also believe that under your construction, Bentley Island will definitely become a prosperous and beautiful island, and when you officially operate, I will also go to enjoy the scenery of the Indian Ocean." ”
"When we put into operation, I will definitely deliver the invitation to your house, and I am sure that you will be able to see a beautiful and prosperous scenery by then. ”
