More than 99 percent of Hong Kong's 6 million people are Chinese, but for more than 150 years, power has been firmly in the hands of less than 10 percent of the British.

It was not until the late seventies that the Chinese class began to gradually raise their voices. For example, the Hong Kong Police Force, which accounts for one-fifth of Hong Kong's public service establishment, gave birth to the first Chinese to assist the Commissioner of Police in 1978.

The ranks of the Hong Kong police can be divided into junior ranks, inspectors and constitutional commissioners. The Constitutional Committee is considered a high-ranking official in Hong Kong's police force. However, the constitutional committee level can actually be subdivided into two parts, of which the superintendent, senior superintendent, and chief superintendent can only be regarded as department heads.

To truly enter the leadership and decision-making level of the Hong Kong police department, at least the Assistant Commissioner of Police must be the Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police, the Deputy Commissioner of Police and the Commissioner of Police. And for a long time, the highest rank of the Chinese police officer will only be promoted to the chief superintendent, and then the invisible ceiling will be hit!

Also in the late 70s, Chinese capital began to show its ambition to challenge the dominance of British capital in Hong Kong's economy. Among them, the most representative classic battles are Li Chaoren's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in 1979 and the annexation of Wharf by Charterboat King in 1980.

But until negotiations between China and Britain began, Hong Kong remained firmly under the control of the British, both politically and economically. For example, the first Chinese policeman to take the high position of assistant commissioner of police, Situ Yanzhi, was promoted in March 1978, but actually retired in November of the same year.

Szeto Yanzhi's post as Assistant Commissioner of Police actually only served for a little more than half a year. This is more like a piece of meat and bones that the British have deliberately thrown out to "buy a horse with a thousand dollars" while rewarding him for decades of conscientious police career! He cannot really represent the Chinese to gain a voice in Hong Kong's political arena!

Similarly, both Hutchison and Wharf's merger and acquisition cases were actually acquiesced in advance by HSBC. HSBC is the leader of British power in Hong Kong today, and the era of Hutchison, Jardine Matheson, Swire and Wheelock is long gone.

But whether it is Li Chaoren or the charter king, they definitely dare not directly target HSBC. On the one hand, there is not enough financial resources, and on the other hand, there is no way to start!

As early as five or six years ago, the overall strength of the Oriental Group far surpassed that of other Chinese-funded groups in Hong Kong, as well as all British-funded groups, including HSBC.

This is undoubtedly revealed from Li Xuan's action of sweeping away the leaves in the autumn wind and pocketing Standard Chartered and Land. But apart from its own one-third of an acre of land - the electronics industry, the Eastern Bloc does not seem to have aggressive ambitions.

This is partly because at the end of the eighties, the half-century-long Cold War began to come to an end. The global political landscape has entered a new round of fierce reshuffle, and Hong Kong itself is in a special period before the handover, and under the influence of the global political climate, it is bound to become even more turbulent. If Li Xuan and the Oriental Group intervene too early, it is easy to accidentally step on the thunder and become the focus of all contradictions.

On the other hand, Li Xuan's layout for the future development of the Oriental Group has not yet been completed. If too much energy is wasted in a corner of Hong Kong, it is likely to drag down the global industrial layout of the Oriental Group!

But the situation is different now, and Li Xuan's development plan for the next 30 years of the Oriental Group has basically taken shape. Focusing on the two core industries of the Internet and mobile communications, relying on key technologies such as semiconductors and liquid crystals, Oriental Group has begun to seize the commanding heights of the next computer era and mobile phone era ahead of its competitors!

Therefore, Li Xuan now has spare time to turn around and solve Hong Kong's problems. The mainland is about to usher in a new round of reform and opening up, and it was from the 90s that China grew into the world's second largest economy in just 20 years. Li Xuan wants to better integrate into this emerging market that will soon be coveted by the world, and the best way is to send a letter of submission!

"It is very important for AT&T to join our CDMA camp, not only did Nortel Canada quickly start to follow up and take the initiative to contact us, but even the Japanese people who were originally invincible changed their attitudes!

As Japan's only domestic telecommunications operator, NTT's stock price has risen wildly since it was listed on the Tokyo stock market in '87! It is said that in order to more fully release the full value of NTT, several major investment banks in Japan are encouraging NTT to spin off its sub-businesses so that it can seek an independent listing in the future!

NTT's mobile phone business was the first to be chosen by Japanese bankers! NTT's mobile phone business, which began to operate the paging business in 1968, and later developed analog cellular phones, is a very good asset of NTT!

However, now that mobile phones are upgrading from analog cellular technology to digital technology, if NTT's mobile business wants to further expand the imagination of investors, it must keep up with the technological trend and open a digital mobile communication network as soon as possible!

However, the relevant technology in Japan is not yet mature, and our CDMA is naturally the best choice for NTT! From this point of view, we have great interests in common with Japanese bankers!

I met with Yoshihisa Tabuchi of Nomura Securities in Tokyo, and he expressed his willingness to help us accelerate the adoption of CDMA standards by NTT and the Ministry of Posts and Posts!" said Clarion.

The Oriental Group regularly holds various gatherings among top executives, and today's gathering was convened by Li Xuan himself. The core executives of the Oriental Group in Hong Kong gathered in Li Xuan's country villa in Shek O, the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island, for an open-air barbecue!

Of course, eating barbecue is not the main purpose of everyone, the real purpose of this gathering is to promote communication between executives. And the topic of everyone's chat is naturally inseparable from their own business.

As the president of Huaxing Technology Company, a lesser-known subsidiary of the Oriental Group, Ke Lilun participated in such a high-level gathering within the group for the first time in the past two years.

As Li Xuan's earliest administrative assistant, Ke Lilun has often attended such gatherings before. In fact, when Li Xuan initially stipulated that the executives should meet together regularly to communicate, many of these activities were organized by his assistant.

However, since Li Xuan changed from the vice president of Oriental Commercial Company to the president of Huaxing Company, such high-level gatherings began to insulate him. After all, the newly established Huaxing Company was too small in size, and it was not ranked at all within the Oriental Group!

However, Huaxing Company, as an important part of Li Xuan's entire mobile communication layout, is ready to build it into one of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers. Naturally, its position in the Eastern Bloc cannot remain in obscurity.

MCI is responsible for the implementation of CDMA standards in the United States, while the related work in Japan was handed over by Li Xuan to Huaxing Company led by Clover Lun.

He had just returned to Hong Kong from Japan yesterday, and he had not yet had time to report to the top management of the group the major progress he had made on his trip, so he just took the opportunity to report directly to Li Xuan! As Li Xuan's former assistant, he stood next to the group boss and talked eloquently, and no one felt abrupt!

"Our group's global expansion has reached the extreme, for example, it is difficult to implement CDMA standards in countries like Japan, not because our technology is not advanced enough, but because we lack the national strength to support it!

Therefore, with the addition of AT&T, we can temporarily use the tiger skin of the United States to make a false tiger, and many things can be easily solved! But after all, we are Hong Kong enterprises, and American GIs are not obliged to use guns to open the way for us!

Therefore, our next strategy should be appropriately adjusted, and strive to make more friends and less enemies! It is not enough to just draw NTT into our camp, didn't NEC say that we are their nemesis? Send someone to contact them to see if NEC is willing to turn enemies into friends, after all, they are one of the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturers in Japan!

There are also companies like Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, which can also sit down and talk. We didn't think about holding all the CDMA patents in our own hands. As long as the price is right, many can be licensed!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Li Xuan had just bombarded the British authorities in Hong Kong two days ago, and this may not be in the best interests of the Eastern Bloc in the eyes of many people, so of course he was obliged to explain to his own management.
