Chapter 111: You're Not the Only One...
readx;?“ Yesterday morning, someone from the branch came to find me......"
Guan Fei didn't give an answer at the first time, but talked about other things left and right, and slowly talked about things that were completely unrelated to the content discussed in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a hint of annoyance in the eyes of the chief secretary.
"Oh? Did they give you any new instructions? MacLehose took a deep breath and followed his words and asked with interest.
"Alas, what's the matter, lack of money!" Guan Fei let out a long sigh and frowned, "For more than a year, we have worked very hard, and the profits are considerable, with a total profit of 250 million US dollars. This money may seem like a lot of *pig* pig * island * novels, but it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the huge amount of money needed to build it. Do you know that after a whole year of hard work in China last year, the import and export surplus was only $300 million, and the total foreign exchange reserve was only $900 million. But we are just a business, even if we crush all the bones into oil, we can have a few cents! ”
"So what?" MacLehose and the Chief Secretary for Justice looked at each other and said quietly.
"After more than a year of observation, the country has confirmed that in order to increase foreign exchange earnings, it is still necessary to expand the scale of production of export goods. To this end, there is a plan to set up a large export-oriented special economic zone in Shekou, opposite the New Territories, and people from the branch came to me to talk about it......"
Quack.
In the quiet study, there was a sudden crisp sound of knuckles misaligned, but it was the sound of MacLehose, whose face was pale, clenching his fists and pushing too hard.
Zhou Xiaoshan and the others opened their mouths, but Pan Meifeng held back a smile and made a straight face.
Guan Fei did not lie in front of MacLehose, and China did come to him to consult on the expansion of export sales, and also revealed that China intends to set up a special export zone, and even wants to undertake the OEM business of military subdivisions. From beginning to end, he didn't lie a word.
He just reversed the causal relationship, and listened to it in front of uninformed outsiders, as if he was saying that the mainland instructed Guan Fei to move the company to Shekou, and that Hong Kong was just a channel for imports and exports!
Although Guan Fei did not answer the Hong Kong government's plan to establish an electronic industrial park, he had already told the other party in essence: If you want to build an electronic industrial park, then go and do it yourself, you won't play with you!
Are you kidding!
The core of the Hong Kong government's planned electronic industrial park is the existence of the Taiyu series, and there are no arcades, portable tape recorders and other products, how to unite various electronic companies on their own?
Without the Taiyu system, any plan is just a piece of waste paper, and it's too hard to wipe your ass!
On the other hand, the news of the establishment of the Shekou Special Administrative Region is not just a matter of the withdrawal of the Taiyu system, but the addition of a competitor directly opposite Hong Kong, a terrible competitor.
With the establishment of this special zone, the Hong Kong government's attempt to develop the electronics industry will be completely bankrupt, and it will not even be able to maintain its current scale!
These hooks were really powerful, and they made MacLehose and the chief secretary of the chief secretary feel stuffy in their chests, and they couldn't say half a sentence for a while.
"But ......"
Guan Fei didn't seem to see the expressions of the two of them, stretched his tone, and after a long pause, he said slowly: "I personally think that the advantages of Hong Kong are still greater......
"Of course, Hong Kong has more advantages!"
As if he had caught a straw, the chief secretary immediately blurted out affirmation, his tone was hurried, and he couldn't immediately persuade Guan Fei to change his mind.
It's not for fun.
Shekou is a small fishing village, smaller than the main island of Hong Kong, but behind the people is a whole country, with a complete industrial system support, with a population of nearly one billion, itself is a big market!
If it weren't for the introduction of advanced equipment from the West, people would have been able to play their own games behind closed doors -- wasn't that the case decades ago?
And if such a behemoth joins the foreign trade competition, Hong Kong, a small place that cannot even supply electricity and water to itself, will be beaten to the bottom in a snap of a finger. Britain's attempt to run Hong Kong will all come to naught.
Unlike the eagerness of the Chief Secretary of the Public, MacLehao put his chin on his hands, his face was gloomy, his eyes were suspicious, and he examined every subtle change in Guan Fei's expression without saying a word.
Pan Meifeng's stomach was about to burst with laughter, and she struggled to maintain an expressionless posture, and endured it quite hard.
After really meeting the senior officials of the Hong Kong government face to face, watching Guan Fei smash their wishful thinking with a few words, and follow their own ideas to deal passively, no different from ordinary businessmen, the other party's original image in his heart suddenly collapsed.
It turns out that the so-called arrogance is nothing more than the coercion brought by power, and when this power is crushed by the same level, or even a higher level, it is nothing more than that.
Inexplicably, the nervous mood suddenly became relaxed, as if the depression that had been pressed on the heart for many years was gone, and every cell in the body seemed to be cheering and singing, and it felt so pleasant.
"Yes, I think so too." Guan Fei nodded and responded quickly, "The mainland has the advantages of the mainland, and Hong Kong has the strengths of Hong Kong, and each has its own advantages. As far as the export-oriented electronics industry is concerned, the mainland has a larger number of engineers, but Hong Kong has the advantage of being in line with the world, updating its knowledge structure, and keeping up with the latest technological trends. The mainland has a complete industrial system, precision equipment manufacturing capacity, especially the production of civilian precision manufacturing equipment, but not enough to meet the needs of thousands of civilian electronics manufacturers, although Hong Kong does not have precision equipment manufacturing capacity, but can buy related equipment from all over the world, the speed of upgrading is faster; Many people in Hong Kong can speak English, read and write English, and have an inherent advantage in mastering the latest technology. Hong Kong people have been engaged in the manufacture of foreign trade products for a long time, and are more familiar with the preferences of European and American consumers, and their product design capabilities are more in line with the aesthetics of European and American consumers. Hong Kong has a mature production management team, which also has considerable advantages for the formation of modern enterprises......"
Guan Fei pointed his fingers, comparing one by one, every time he said about Hong Kong's comparative advantages, MacLehose and Chief Secretary Bu Zheng's faces softened, and when they heard the end, both of them smiled, but they no longer had the initial complacency and self-confidence in the overall situation.
"Therefore, I think the idea of establishing an electronics industrial park in Hong Kong is also a good idea. If necessary, I think we can support it. Guan Fei finally concluded.
Fart!
If you don't meet your conditions, you won't support it, right?
Without waiting for MacLehose and the two of them to curse in their stomachs, Guan Fei seemed to remember one thing again, and slapped his forehead: "That's right." Yesterday, when I went to visit Mr. Fung Yao Jing of Wing Hang Bank, Mr. Wu Bugang of Wing Lung Bank was also there. We talked a little and learned that the Jiayi TV station in which they had a stake is currently not operating well, and there are big problems in terms of funds. After several efforts, there was no improvement, Mr. Wu was a little disheartened, and he had the idea of selling his shares, and I said at the time that if Jiashi really couldn't hold on, we were willing to take over......"
"It can't be!" Without hesitation, the Chief Secretary of State vetoed it, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so he immediately changed his words, "At the beginning, Jiashi was established in order to have a special educational television station in Hong Kong, which was set up to facilitate self-study by adults and students in Hong Kong. At the time of establishment, the number of shareholders and share capital was specified. Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law, and if Mr. Kwan intends to take a stake in Jiashi, he needs to discuss with the shareholders and reach an understanding, and it is inconvenient for the Hong Kong government to come forward. ”
Guan Fei gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well said! Administrative intervention in the economy is the worst thing, and we established Taiyu Technology in Hong Kong because we saw that the politics in Hong Kong are clear and the business atmosphere is good. It's really not easy to do, and we don't have much energy to reach an understanding with each shareholder one by one, so I think it's better to forget it. In any case, the mainland also intends to set up a television station, and considering that it has no experience in this area, it intends to bring in talent from Hong Kong and set up an experimental television station in the Shekou Special Administrative Region. When the time comes, the signal tower will be raised a little higher and the signal strength will be strengthened, maybe it should be able to be clearly received on the main island of Hong Kong, hahahaha! However, due to our lack of experience, our program production may not comply with Hong Kong laws and regulations, and there is also a lack of adequate supervision. In the long run, it is not a good thing for the development of television broadcasting. ”
Nima!
Shekou again!
Haha!
Can you please not say the word!
MacLehose is simply greasy, but Guan Fei's threat is also real, and he can't help but take it seriously.
The reason why the Hong Kong government does not allow Chinese capital to control the TV station is that the propaganda effect of the TV program is too strong. Hong Kong is far from the British mainland, just next to the mainland, the island's residents are basically Chinese, the attraction of the mother country is already very strong, if the mainland is allowed to speak out on the island at will, it is really difficult to say who is the real power in Hong Kong at that time.
However, Guan Fei's words are even more threatening.
Shekou is only a few kilometers away from the New Territories and only about 40 kilometers from Hong Kong Island, and a high-power television signal transmitter is enough to cover the entire Hong Kong Island, and even the outlying islands are within the signal range. If the mainland really wants to propagate to Hong Kong, what if it does not enter Hong Kong?
Moreover, there are already quite a few pro-China media on the island, such as Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao, which still do not honestly abide by Hong Kong laws. Right under my nose, it's more convenient to control, and it's much better than letting things go outside......
MacLehose's mind raced.
After being hit by Guan Fei's combination punch, his expected goal was greatly reduced, and he no longer had full control of the situation, and the idea of playing with Taiyu Technology in the palm of his hand began to become realistic, and he no longer had unrealistic extravagant expectations.
From beginning to end, he did not doubt that Guan Fei had deep connections in the mainland.
The information is very clear that Guan Fei came from the mainland, or through a heavily guarded border guard post, and it is not a strange thing that it is not due to the instructions of the mainland's high-level officials, or it is possible to have connections across the administration and military. For more than a year, Guan Fei has sent hundreds of millions of foreign exchange to the mainland, and this position is so rich in oil and water, and he can continue to be in a high position, which once again confirms that he has a big background. Subsequently, provincial and ministerial-level officials of the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch took the initiative to visit the door, which further confirmed the great energy of Guan Fei. There is no doubt that he can directly talk to the mainland's high-level leaders and make suggestions.
Because of this, he didn't feel that Guan Fei was lying and intimidating at all, but seriously considered the conditions that Guan Fei said.
Yes, he clearly affirmed that winning Jiayi TV and occupying a considerable share in the electronic industrial park established in the future are the conditions set by Guan Fei.
Now that the ball is on his side, the question arises as to whether he needs to make a counteroffer, or flatly refuse.
The focus of the trade-off is the blueprint for Hong Kong's economic development, whether it is still determined that the electronics industry is an important part; whether the Hong Kong government will be able to derive sufficient benefits from it in the future and not shake the position of the Hong Kong government; Then there is whether he personally can benefit from this series of exchanges; Can the interest group he represents get a corresponding reward in it......
Everything needs to be carefully weighed by him and repeatedly.
