781 [President Election].
1 January 1995.
--- of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, Mong Kok, Hong Kong
As the triennial election of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, it is about to begin.
More than 3,400 enterprises and groups in Hong Kong, as well as bigwigs, all came to watch the ceremony and participate in the election.
As the former president, Huo Yingdong, Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Lin Wannian, Fu Yunheng and others stood together and looked at the emcee who presided over the meeting.
The emcee's hosting ability cannot be compared with TVB's gold medal emcee, but this emcee is a member elected by the Chamber of Commerce, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, but his eloquence is good, so he was pushed out by everyone as a host.
After giving a general account of the history of the establishment of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the development status, the host emphasized how conscientious Huo Yingdong, the boss of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce, has been as the president in the past three years, and has created many development opportunities and conditions for the Chamber of Commerce.
After speaking, the host invited Huo Dagang to come to the stage and say a few words before leaving office, and everyone below, including Li Chaoren, Lin Wannian, and Fu Yunheng, applauded.
Huo Da did not shirk, and took the stage to speak a few words, roughly because he was conscientious and conscientious in three years, and he could be regarded as dedicated to the development of the Chamber of Commerce, and now that he is old, he can no longer serve as the president, and will leave this position to those who can continue to lead the Chamber of Commerce forward and develop capable people.
In the end, Mr. Huo summed up the principles for the establishment of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, saying: "We are Hong Kong people, but we are also part of the Chinese people, and we are in Hong Kong, and our hearts are close to the motherland, and the prosperity of the motherland is inseparable from the efforts of our big guys. As businessmen, we pursue profits, as Hong Kong people, we love the country and Hong Kong, especially when Hong Kong is approaching the return to the motherland, we should link ourselves with the motherland, if the motherland is strong, we are strong, and if the motherland is prosperous, then Hong Kong will continue to maintain prosperity. We abandon those who forget their ancestors and sell the country to seek glory, as the sons and daughters of China, the descendants of Yan and Huang, we only need to keep in mind four words, that is, ---same root and ancestor!"
After the speech, Huo Da Lao immediately applauded like thunder, everyone knows that Huo Da Lao is the most patriotic businessman, the last four words are actually the motto he has always pursued, as a businessman to pursue profits, but not forget the roots, because we "have the same roots and the same ancestor", we are all Chinese.
After Big Huo finished speaking, the point came, that is, the voting for the president election officially began.
According to the traditional way, there are three candidates participating in the election, namely Li Chaoren of Cheung Kong Industrial, Lin Wannian of Lin Group, and Fu Yunheng of Fu Enterprise.
Among these three people, the seniority is very old, according to the family's inheritance in Hong Kong, Fu Yunheng has the advantage, his ancestor Fu Laorong is famous in Hong Kong; Lin Wannian's advantage is the recommendation of Huo Dagang, which belongs to the internal candidate of the previous president; Li Chaoren Needless to say, the richest super tycoon in Hong Kong now, the real estate tycoon, will turn backwards when he stomps his foot on the Xiangjiang River.
At this time, it is clear.
The advantages and disadvantages of the three are obvious, especially that Li Chaoren, who is the most prominent among the three, and it is easy to come out on top, so his voice is also the highest.
In this regard, Li Chaoren seemed very modest, saying that if he was selected, it would be because everyone loved him too much, and if he was not selected, he would be relieved.
This kind of attitude of not being shocked by humiliation and winning or losing calmly has once again won everyone's praise.
However, for Li Chaoren, in fact, he is bound to win this election, in order to develop the real estate industry, he and the Hong Kong British government inevitably got closer, so that many people have opinions on this, and now if he becomes the president, he can somewhat block the mouths of some people.
It's hard to do business, it's hard to be a businessman, and it's even harder to be a successful Hong Kong businessman.
......
Time is running out---
Seeing that the election voting was about to begin, at this time, Fu Yunheng suddenly stood up and announced, he thought about it carefully, felt that his health was not too good, and he was afraid that he would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the president, so he thought about it again and again, announced that he had chosen to withdraw from this year's presidential election, and took the initiative to vote for Mr. Lin Wannian, who was the other two candidates.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar at the scene.
"How so?"
"Fu Yunheng abstained, and he still has to vote for Lin Wannian?"
"They are originally in-laws, but I didn't expect to come here now!"
"I've heard that there's a lot of competition for the chairmanship. ”
"That must be a cover-up, the two have already discussed. ”
There was a lot of discussion, and there were different opinions.
Even Li Chaoren was stunned, but he inquired clearly, this time the Fu family and the Lin family were going to work against each other, but he didn't expect that Fu Yunheng would come to such a hand when the vote was about to be made.
The host was even more confused and at a loss, but fortunately, at this time, Big Guy Huo called him over and whispered a few words.
The moderator then came to his senses and announced that he would respect the choice of the candidate and that if no one else objected, the election would proceed.
This time it was lively.
Originally, it was a three-kingdom campaign, but now it has become two against one.
Needless to say, the votes of Fu Yunheng, who chose to quit, will all go to Lin Wannian's side this time, and Lin Wannian's chances of winning will greatly increase.
In the face of the disadvantage in front of him, anyone with a little brains knows that Li Chaoren is afraid that he will lose this time.
"What kind of vote are you going to vote, there are definitely more votes for two people than for one person!"
"Li Chaoren is going to sink into the sand this time. ”
"The famous Li Superman rarely loses once. ”
Just when everyone collectively sang about Li Chaoren, Li Chaoren, who was a little confused by the situation in front of him, suddenly laughed a few times.
Everyone: "......"
looked at Li Chaoren who was laughing together, and thought he was stimulated by something.
The host was busy asking if there was anything going on, and if there was anything he needed help with, just say.
Li Chaoren glanced at everyone, with a hint of determination on his face, and said with a smile, first of all, he regretted that Fu Yunheng chose to abstain;
Second, the election should continue and be conducted by ballot.
In the end, after listening to Huo Dajiao's resignation speech, he actually had a plan in his heart, in his opinion, Huo Da Lao is selfless, has been working for the welfare of the majority of Chinese Chamber of Commerce members, he believes that this spirit is worth inheriting, worthy of carrying forward, so he made a temporary decision, if he can successfully serve as the president this time, his real estate company is about to develop the Repulse Bay Jade Garden, will accept many members of the Chamber of Commerce to join the shares, carry forward the spirit of everyone who has money to earn together, and everyone picks up firewood.
With a bang, the scene exploded in an instant.
You must know that the land in Repulse Bay, Li Chaoren has not grabbed it yet, why does he want to be the president, that is, to grab that piece of land, and then develop his "Jade Garden".
But now, he actually promised that as long as he became the president, he would take out the future "Jade Garden" to share, which ...... It's really exciting.
Everyone is in business, and the gains and losses are the most calculating, and any friendship and friendship are no match for the actual benefits.
Immediately, the eyes of everyone at the scene were different.
Even those members of the Chamber of Commerce who originally supported Lin Wannian and Fu Yunheng were also flickering in their eyes at the moment, thoughtful.
Lin Wannian was dumbfounded, he never expected Li Chaoren to be so ruthless and make such a ruthless move.
What to do?
He looked at Fu Yunheng.
Fu Yunheng looked at him, spread his hands, and made a helpless appearance--- I can't help it, forgive me!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Big Guy Huo, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly said to himself: "The general trend has gone, what can I do!"
