Chapter 309: No offense

Whether the Oriental Application Software Company can be as successful as the previous Office series in the field of enterprise management software, Li Xuan does not dare to pack a ticket. If he talks about the previous East-Word and East-Table, he can also refer to the Word and Excel software he used in his previous life.

So for ERP, CRM these software, Li Xuan is also completely blind, after all, the gold finger is not omnipotent, in his previous life, he was engaged in embedded chip system design, not software programming, and there is no need to contact enterprise management software. The software he usually comes into contact with is some programming tools, such as Sapphire Blue's C++Builder. Not long ago, East-C, a C language compilation tool just launched by Dongfang System Software Company, Li Xuan gave many personal suggestions based on many ideas of C++Builder.

So he can only encourage Li Gang, the chief executive, to work hard and not be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success, and he will give the greatest support in terms of R&D funding. Of course, Li Xuan actually has not said a word, even if he really fails, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to acquire one of the most successful companies in this field in the future.

It was in the nineties that enterprise management software really started to shine. Especially after the opening of the Internet era, global economic integration began to accelerate, and enterprises were driven by the wave of informatization, and the demand for electronic management of factories exploded rapidly.

Relying on the entire computer industry chain that Oriental Group is building, Dongfang Application Software Company can get the greatest support in hardware and system software, and has been one step ahead of other competitors. If it is not able to seize enough market share in the next four or five years, Li Xuan will consider foreign mergers and acquisitions.

For example, SAP in Germany is a good object, it is the most successful supplier in the field of enterprise management software in the future, more than 80 of the world's top 500 companies, have used the software services provided by SAP. Of course, it is too early to say this, and Li Xuan naturally hopes that Dongfang Application Software Company can continue to succeed on its own.

At a time when Li Xuan is rekindling his enthusiasm for corporate governance, Hong Kong society is in turmoil, and Sino-British negotiations have reached a complete stalemate. Here, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Youde, wants Hong Kong to join the negotiations as a third-party representative.

Naturally, the Chinese Government rejected it outright! Who can represent the people of Hong Kong, could it be Youde, the British Queen-appointed Governor of Hong Kong? The Hong Kong Governor's Office thinks that it can make concessions to the mainland government by coercing the panicked public opinion in Hong Kong.

Not long ago, the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency organized a group of people from all walks of life who love Hong Kong and the country to go north to petition the Chinese government, and they were cordially received by the central leaders. When meeting with Hong Kong representatives, Mr. Tang clearly expressed that the central government will never waver in its determination to take back Hong Kong in 1997 and that the concept of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong and one country, two systems" will not change!

Of course, Li Xuan would not participate in the northbound delegation at such a time, and from the perspective of national feelings, he naturally raised his hands to support the country's recovery of Hong Kong. But after all, Hong Kong is now under British rule, and most of Li Xuan's industry is in Hong Kong, and he doesn't want to be shot in the head and given small shoes by the Hong Kong government.

For example, all public telephones on the streets of Hong Kong now use magnetic cards, telephone cards and coin-operated telephones. Not long ago, the Hong Kong Telephone Company (HKPC) applied to the Hong Kong government to replace these old-fashioned utility phones with new telephones using IC calling cards and coin-operated dual-use models. Li Xuan naturally did not want to cause all kinds of troubles to his industrial layout because of the political chaos in front of him.

In fact, the stalemate in the Sino-British negotiations has given him the opportunity to turn the right and left. Not long ago, Li Xuan was selected by the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Youde, as an unofficial member of the Executive Council, which is not a small price. There are two very important public opinion bodies in Hong Kong, namely the Legislative Council and the Executive Council. Both bureaux are composed of official and non-official members respectively.

As the name suggests, official members are members who hold official positions in the Hong Kong government, generally the directors and directors of bureaus and departments under the Hong Kong government, while non-official members are appointed by the Hong Kong Governor from all walks of life. The Legislative Council is a bit like a parliament in the West, responsible for a part of the advisory function of law-making.

However, Hong Kong is, after all, a colony, and naturally it is impossible for it to have a half-dime relationship with the free people. Therefore, the function of the Legislative Council is limited to consultation, and has no real legislative power, and more often it only acts as a rubber stamp for the Hong Kong government to put on a layer of democratic-democratic clothing.

In contrast, the actual powers of the Executive Bureau are greater, and the Executive Bureau was originally called the Political Bureau. The Governor and Chief Secretary of the Executive Council will consult the members of the Executive Council before implementing the heavy policy, so the members of the Executive Council have the ability to influence the policy formulation of the Hong Kong government.

As the richest man in the world and a representative figure of Hong Kong entrepreneurs, Li Xuan is naturally qualified enough to serve as a member of the Executive Council. However, at this sensitive time, Youde named Li Xuan to join the Executive Bureau, which naturally could not be a good intention.

Not long after he joined the Executive Council, a number of members of the two bureaux took the lead in arguing that the Sino-British negotiations were related to the future of Hong Kong's five million citizens, and that Hong Kong should join the talks as a third party. Ms Tang Lianru, who has the clearest pro-British stance in the Executive Council, personally came to Li Xuan's house to meet Li Xuan, hoping that he would consider the well-being of the five million people of Hong Kong and support their proposal.

"I very much agree with the desire of Congressman Deng Lianru and Congressman Li Pengfei to reflect the aspirations of the Hong Kong people at the highest level in China and Britain. But their hope that Hong Kong will join the Sino-British talks as a third party is not bad, but too idealistic and not practical!

The first question I would like to ask is, who can represent Hong Kong at the talks, is it Sir Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong? Obviously, the central government in Beijing would never agree to it, because Sir Youde was appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. In the eyes of the central government of the mainland, he does not represent the will of Hong Kong, but the will of Downing Street!

So who else but Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong can represent the five million people of Hong Kong who can go north to join the talks? Will the representatives of the two bureaux, including me, be selected from among the leaders of all walks of life in Hong Kong? I don't think it is appropriate! As everyone has said before, this negotiation concerns the future well-being of the five million Hong Kong citizens, so naturally it is up to the five million citizens themselves to decide!

The best way to do this is to have an equal vote of one person, one vote. However, in Hong Kong, a place where democratic-pro-democracy elections have never been held, it is obviously impossible to hold a referendum in a short period of time! How to organize, who to run, and how to prevent fraud are all issues that need to be properly resolved before the election.

Since we can't choose anyone who can truly represent the will of Hong Kong's five million people to participate in the negotiations, it is better to wait for the good news. When Margaret Thatcher visited Hong Kong last year, she said that the British government has an obligation to take responsibility for the future of all Hong Kong citizens.

The central government in Beijing has repeatedly stated that Hong Kong compatriots are an inseparable part of the big family of the Chinese nation. Since both governments have expressed their willingness to be highly responsible to the people of Hong Kong, I think it is not important whether Hong Kong representatives participate in the negotiations or not!"

Li Xuan participated in Asia Television's "Qiang Qiang Threesome" for the second time, and in the new episode, he expressed his views on whether Hong Kong should join the Sino-British talks independently, which has been the most hotly debated recently. This can also be regarded as a positive response to Deng Lianru and others inviting him to co-sign before.

Li Xuan's head had never been caught by the door, and when he knew that Hong Kong would definitely return to the embrace of the motherland, he naturally would not act as a dog leg for the British. Like Deng Lianru, she is married to a British, as the so-called marrying a chicken and a dog is married, and it is estimated that people speak English longer than they speak Cantonese all day long.

Therefore, Deng Lianru must do her best to hug the thigh of Downing Street, and the Queen of England did not treat such a loyal person badly, and directly gave her the title of baronesses. Deng Lianru left Hong Kong and moved to London before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and continued to be a member of the British House of Lords, contributing to the British Empire.

Li Xuan has no plans to immigrate to the UK, with a Chinese stomach, he prefers to live in a Chinese-speaking society, otherwise he would have immigrated to the United States a long time ago. If Li Xuan becomes an American citizen, the future development of Dongfang Electronics Company will be much less hindered, and he will not have to be cautious in doing many things now.

Li Xuan will not choose to be pro-British, but it does not mean that he has to offend the British. Just like this time, he did not explicitly oppose the proposal of Deng Lianru and others from beginning to end, but only euphemistically said that this proposal is not feasible in practice.

It may be a bit slippery to do so, but Li Xuan's current international influence has given him this confidence. With the increase of experience, Li Xuan's behavior became more and more in line with the standards of a businessman and capitalist, and he pursued profits.

For example, when Li Xuan first acquired ATV, he specifically pointed out when he communicated with Huang Xizhao, chairman of the board of directors, that when ATV chose a position on the Hong Kong issue, it should support "one country, two systems, and Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". Therefore, when ATV first reported on the Sino-British negotiations, its position was somewhat pro-China.

Moreover, long before the start of negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, ATV launched a series of new livelihood programs, often pointing the finger at the Hong Kong government for all kinds of inaction. For this reason, Governor Youde specially invited Li Xuan to a dinner, hoping that ATV would uphold the objective and fair position of the media. And Li Xuan also obeyed the advice, and immediately instructed Huang Xizhao to make improvements, of course, he did not let ATV turn to the mainland.

The reason why Li Xuan appeared on "Qiang Qiang Threesome" again to express his views was also carefully considered by the think tank behind him. As the saying goes, politics and business are not separated, and Li Xuan, as an influential entrepreneur, does not need to intervene too much in politics to let himself take unnecessary risks, but he should not stay away from politics.

ATV is Li Xuan's own TV station, and "Qiang Qiang Threesome" has become one of the most influential high-end talk shows in Hong Kong after two years of creation. Li Xuan's own TV station naturally does not ask any questions that make him feel embarrassed, in fact, all the questions in this episode of the script are also conceived by Li Xuan's think tank and program director. And Li Xuan can use this increasingly influential column to express his own responses and brush up on his feelings.

In fact, except for participating in ATV's "Qiang Qiang Threesome", Li Xuan has hardly made any response on other occasions, giving people a feeling of being completely out of the way. In fact, the views he expressed in "Qiang Qiang Threesome" have caused a lot of heated discussions. R1152
