At 6:45 in the evening, Li Guangyu and others came to the banquet hall, and at this time, the president also happened to come here with Sun Yunxuan and others.

The president said, "Welcome to your arrival, please be seated." ”

The president is very happy to be happy today, such a large-scale Chinese-funded business delegation came to Baodao, which he has never seen since he came to Baodao.

This delegation controls most of the market in Hong Kong, and they are present in many industries, and the assets under their control have exceeded $40 billion as far as they know from their own side, while the Li consortium has assets of more than $30 billion.

Such a consortium can be taken seriously in any region, and at present, apart from the government in Asia, only the six major Japanese consortiums can suppress this interest consortium.

Whether it is their treasure island or South Korea, or even Southeast Asia and South Asia, the strength of these local family consortia is far from comparable to that of the Lee consortium.

Of course, in addition to the royal families of various countries, no one knows how many families each royal family has, and this cannot be compared with these consortia.

Now the president is facing considerable pressure, not only the external situation, but also the internal situation of Baodao, fortunately, the economic development of Baodao in recent years is quite good, otherwise it will only be more difficult.

At the banquet, the president did not discuss the investment issue with Li Guangyu and them, but at this time, he chatted with them more about the current situation in the world and communicated with Li Guangyu and them about some of their views.

Li Guangyu and the others have tried their best to avoid talking about political issues in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and they are more likely to discuss economic issues, especially in the past two years, which have been greatly affected by the influence of Western Europe and North America, whether it is Xiangjiang or Baodao.

If it weren't for the fact that the Asian economy is currently full of vitality, the market here is developing, I am afraid that the life of the Asian tigers is not very good, these regions are currently more based on processing and exporting, their own technology and brand strength is relatively weak, once there is a problem with exports, it is a very big blow to the local economy.

The reason why there is such a big crisis in Xiangjiang is not only because of political reasons, but also because the major families in Xiangjiang have not invested in the emerging industry led by semiconductors like several other regions, and are wholeheartedly engaged in real estate.

The property market is now collapsing, what can be left of Xiangjiang, low-end manufacturing, due to the factors of labor costs and land prices, more have begun to move to the mainland and treasure islands.

The mid-to-high-end technology Xiangjiang does not have, and the only thing that Xiangjiang can do at present is the financial industry, the service industry and the trade industry, and the future development potential of Xiangjiang will be very short compared with the other three regions.

Fortunately, Xiangjiang can still rely on the mainland market, so that it will not decline, if it is not for the support of the mainland market behind it, Xiangjiang will be even more difficult in the future.

The president said: "Mr. Li Guangyu, the current world situation is volatile, and the island is also in turmoil, the island economy has been able to achieve such great achievements in recent years, thank you very much for your contribution to the economic development of the island." ”

"President, you are polite, we are also mutually beneficial, our Li Group is also very optimistic about the development of the Baodao area, we believe that the Baodao area will develop better and better under the leadership of you and Dean Sun and others. Lee Kwang Woo responded.

Listening to Li Guangyu's words, the president is obviously very happy in his heart, he believes that since he took office, the island has developed faster and better than his father's time, and the living standards of the people in the island area have been significantly improved, even if the international situation is unprecedentedly bad for the island, it still has not hit the rapid economic development of the island area.

Sometimes some things are unavoidable, and the president talked about the issue of the two sides of the strait and the three places, and asked Li Guangyu some of their views on this matter.

Stanley Ho said: "Lisboa has now decided to return to the mainland, Xiangjiang we think it will soon return to the mainland, for the return of these two regions we are all supporting, after all, we do not want to be a second-class citizen all the time, in many industries will be subject to some restrictions by the government." ”

After Stanley Ho spoke, Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng and others also expressed some views in this regard.

However, everyone deliberately did not mention the issue of Treasure Island, and the president also knew the thoughts of these people, and he knew that if he asked about the mainland and Treasure Island, Li Guangyu and they would also shirk and avoid answering.

A letter from the mainland in July made him very distressed, and he didn't know what he should do, and the content of the letter was also published on the mainland, and even some newspapers on the Xiangjiang side reprinted it.

Although there was some control on the Treasure Island, the content still spread, which caused a very big repercussion on the Treasure Island and caused him unprecedented pressure.

Chatting with Li Guangyu and the others today, although he didn't talk much about politics, from the economic aspect, he could feel the importance that the Li consortium and its interest groups attach to the mainland market.

Reform and opening up over there are continuing to advance, and the economy of some regions is developing rapidly, especially some special zones such as Pengcheng, and he has also collected a lot of information in this regard, and he knows too well how strong the mainland will be once it develops.

The market of more than one billion people is a place that no large group is willing to let go, and if you look at the actions of the Li consortium, you can see that it has reached into the mainland market as early as the beginning of reform and opening up.

Bentley Group has made a joint venture with the mainland in advance, hoping to occupy the market in the future.

After all, the market size of their own treasure island is too small, and it is difficult to compete with the mainland in the future.

He knew it was time for him to think about these issues, and it was no longer okay to blindly not engage and negotiate.

After the dinner, the president promised: "You can rest assured, our Baodao government will not treat you differently because you have increased investment on the mainland, as long as your enterprises can abide by our rules and regulations in Baodao, our government will only serve you, and will not come to find fault with you." ”

Li Guangyu: They are not too worried about this, they are not some entertainment companies in Xiangjiang, the information department here in Baodao will be blocked if they want to block, they now have tens of thousands of people working for them here, once the Li consortium withdraws, the blow to Baodao will be quite big.

Moreover, Lee's also has the largest media group in Asia, and once there is some publicity about Baodao in this regard, the Baodao Merchants Association will be in an awkward place.

Li Guangyu replied: "President, thank you for being able to understand the difficulties of our enterprise, please rest assured that our various groups will operate legally in Baodao, and will never do anything harmful to the interests of Baodao." ”

On the way back, the president said to Sun Yunxuan: "Now that the situation forces us to make a choice, you can let people start to contact the mainland side and see what kind of solution they have to do about it." ”

Sun Yunxuan is also aware of the pressure they are currently facing, the market over there is not only Li Guangyu and them entering, but some families on the treasure island are also eager to enter the market of one billion people, and no capitalist is willing to give up.
