Chapter 250: Building a City 2

Judging from the list, there are both politicians (including some military representatives) and business people who will "visit" Fairy City, in addition to some journalists, of course, the largest number is the so-called business people, preliminary statistics show that there are more than 300 people, accounting for more than 85% of the total, and the rest are about the same. The first to open the gates of Fairy City were politicians, including some foreign government officials, such as Nagin Gandhi, counsellor of the Indian Embassy in China. Almost at the same time, they sent an invitation letter to Xia Chuan, vice minister of foreign trade and economic cooperation, Zeng Lei, vice minister of the Ministry of Communications, Ma Zhiyuan, vice minister of land and resources, and Chen Jinxin, vice minister of the Ministry of National Security, also received invitations, and Li Fangning, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who held a higher position than them, was even invited. And this is not the end, as a large landowner, the Henan Provincial Government, also sent a large number of "relevant personnel", these people are composed of important heads of many departments such as the Department of Commerce, the Department of Industry, the Department of Transportation, etc., and the executive vice governor Chen Minghai "unified command"; In addition to these government figures, the fairy also "took the initiative" to invite many military figures to "fill the façade", most of these are high-ranking officers of the General Political Department and the General Logistics Department. For these people, they don't want to respect anyone, and they dare not offend, especially when people offer to come to "cheer", how can they not pay for the welcome, with the arrival of these people, the next thing is not that they can do the master, and they can't admit that they are timid! Since so many people who shouldn't have come have come, then everyone should come, so they sent invitations to some partners, especially those who have very good relationship prospects, and the wording is very sincere, and other people, as long as they want to come, as long as they know that they want to come to "worship the city", they can receive invitations. No matter what industry he is, no matter the size of the industry, let alone domestic or international, he can get the invitation letter anyway and will not encounter embarrassment, and a total of 401 invitations were sent, of which more than 90 were sent abroad and more than 300 were domestic.

If 14 years ago, the Li family could have completely ignored these people, at that time, the fairy was rich and rich, and almost stripped off all the industries of powerful opponents, which can be said to be infinite; If it was 10 years ago, they would not be so cautious, although the opponents are relatively strong, most of them have eased up, and they are in financial difficulties, but they are still an incomparably powerful consortium, especially in China, and the scenery is simply unparalleled; Time goes back to 5 years ago, they don't need to be so cautious, at that time, the Li family was recovering its ability to operate funds, the momentum of development was strong, and it was dominant in China, and there was no "suitable opponent" at all. But now it is different, they are still strong, the entire industrial group is in good financial condition, the companies have good profit prospects, the market share is very high, the domestic and international development momentum is strong, relatively speaking, more powerful than in previous years, but they can't stop the development of competitors, and the most important thing is that the Li family as a family has been challenged like never before! They are still the most powerful family in China, and the fairy is still the most powerful consortium in China, far beyond other groups, even in the world, it is also one of the three major international consortiums, and is even known as the first of the top ten consortiums in the world, but the Li family with strong financial support has felt huge competitive pressure, which is not only from the world, but also from the country, not only from the economy, but also from other aspects, such as in the vital politics!

The Li family is a strange family, she is powerful, rebellious, low-key, and discreet...... Acquiescing to the rise of other families, they are more worried about the excessive development of their opponents and are afraid of harming their own interests! The current situation, so to speak, is largely the result of their own connivance, the result of their years of self-suppression! Quite at the beginning, the Li family was a dominant family in the country, and its social influence was unparalleled, especially after the war in Southeast Asia, it reached its peak, but the "self-destruction of the Great Wall" resolutely gave up the irreplaceable influence that may be in the military, you know, even if you are jealous, you have to admit that someone will be an irreplaceable generation of generals, and it will be logical for the Li family to gain greater influence in the military. And even more blameless! The military needs the best technology, needs the most stable performance products, and in the country and even in the world, fairies are one of the best suppliers, but they voluntarily gave up one of the links, maybe they think they can occupy the market without relying on relationships! But in fact, this effect has been pointed out by even the most lame critics, and it is undeniable that there is still a lot of cooperation between the fairy and the military, and it still occupies the largest share, accounting for more than 50% (in the private sector) for several years, but in fact, the fairy knows better than anyone how difficult their life is now, and how difficult it will be in the future!

In the military supplies demand market, the fairy still has the most advanced technology in the country, even in the world is in a leading position, but in fact, over the years, in the case of the global reduction in military purchases, the fairy's military orders have declined sharply, far exceeding the normal level. This is a strange phenomenon, this "meritorious national enterprise" that has played an irreplaceable role in some military aspects of China, but the military orders are constantly declining, accompanied by the gradual rise of her former competitors and new competitors, and even surpassed in some aspects, and what is even more surprising is that "it is not technology at work". To say that this is an obvious provocation, but what makes people even more strange is that they have not fully defended some of their market share in the country, and they have tolerated and backed down...... Instead, they intensified their exports, which was incomprehensible to the experts. The experts' doubts should start from three aspects: first, why did the military abandon the best and most advanced Donglin military electronics, which had "previously cooperated well", and purchase those products that were not favored by them before; Second, why don't the fairies try to recover their losses, you must know that once they are squeezed out of the military market, in the face of this kind of highly inherited technology series products, it is extremely difficult to regain the market, don't they realize it? Third, the fairy is bent on expanding the international market, and why, do you want to make up for domestic losses through international exports, isn't this putting the cart before the horse, you must know that the status of Donglin military electronics in China is extremely special! Generally speaking, compared with the decline in the share of other military procurements, people are more concerned about military electronics, but even this, the fairy has not done it!

There are many people in the world who understand things, and the Li family is one of them, and most of the people who are guests in the fairy city also understand the reason for this.

40 years is the peak of the Li family's social prestige, but it is also the beginning of their passivity, and it is no exaggeration to say that the partial passivity began in that year. People's psychology is strange, they yearn for the strong, and they are often very good at looking at the direction of the wind, and it is this attitude that makes the Li family gradually move towards passivity. When they are strong, they are enough to suppress the "delusions" of any opponent, but if they loosen up slightly, the ambitions of their opponents will swell rapidly, and under the influence of some well-intentioned people, a large number of force combinations will quickly come to the fore!

The most obvious passivity appeared in 42, and this year is also recognized as a sign of "decline", "Lee will no longer be Lee", so say the experts! The factors for the decline of the Li family, first of all, lie in the fact that they moved away from Beijing and abandoned the political center that had been operating for many years, although they left behind a strong contingent of guards, and although modern information has made thousands of miles close at hand, "deviating from the political center of China" is the unanimous understanding of the critics, which "will have an immeasurable impact". The second is the establishment of the Li Bank, to be precise, the emergence of China's new SI big bank, these four major banks are mainly formed by private enterprises in China, especially in the mainland, and are the largest private industry in China, in fact, the formation of state-owned enterprises can be compared to the Li industry of a strong combination, and at once there are as many as three, with economic interests combined with many powerful family alliances, supplemented by the ancient blood ties, has become a strong opponent of the Li family, This may have alleviated some of their worries, but the ensuing actions have made them even more bitter.

The sharp decline in the Li family's influence in China's political center is directly related to the Xinyunlong banking group. The headquarters of the Xinyunlong banking group is located in Beijing, and its shareholders are almost all large conglomerates headquartered in the north, and many companies are headquartered in the Beijing-Tianjin area, most of which have some kind of grudge with the fairy or the Li family. In China's four major economic zones, experts say that the private sector is based in the north, the Fanghepu bank is the largest economic center, the Southern Bank is rooted in the south, and the emerging central economic region is an important base for the Li family. Although the strength of any bank group is not as good as that of the fairy, but in the local area, each bank group occupies a relatively large advantage, in this case, people from all walks of life gather in the fairy city to "celebrate" the city, and the winners can't help but be cautious. To be honest, they are very reluctant to see the emergence of other banking groups, these powerful combinations of opponents, seriously hindering the development of fairies, therefore, relative to the serious situation in the country, warmly welcome the presence of international rivals, in their opinion, the international market is related to politics, but to a greater extent with economic ties, everyone should be more gentleman to each other. Li respects strong opponents, and she appreciates that the opponents are strong, because this can promote the development of the company and promote the continuous progress of this huge industrial warship, but in China, it is not a failure to lose the initiative?

Although the fairy is somewhat passive in China, it continues to play a triumphant song in the international market! Businesses in India have long since surpassed their pre-crisis size, and have invested in a new materials company and a biotech company in Southeast Asia, and more importantly in Africa, a total of six companies in the three major technology industries, which means that two electronics companies, three biotech companies and three new materials companies have been invested in the profits of Indian companies alone. This is not all of India's industrial development, Fairy Food has also expanded to India, acquiring three food companies in succession, officially entering the Indian food industry, and increasing the influence of the entire company in India. In other aspects, the sales volume of the North American market continued to increase, the growth rate was about twice the market growth rate, by the beginning of 47, the total profit had reached 700 billion US dollars, and the actual profit also exceeded 200 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 18.2%, even in Europe, the market sales volume is very good. Along with the expansion of the fairy in the world, Lee's Bank has also pushed its business to the world, as a bank that mainly serves the fairy and the western star, she provides a very superior capital operation platform, relying on its huge financial resources, it is said to be rated as one of the best banks in terms of operating conditions, although the profitability is not the best, the social funds absorbed are not very much, and the large-scale investment and loan projects invested are not very many.

Although the Li family's influence in China has declined, it has been the largest energy company in China, and after successfully taking the lead in the development of the South China Sea energy project, it has become the leading developer of the East China Sea energy project, which is said to have a contract investment of up to 1.6 trillion yuan, making it one of the largest projects in the world so far. In the East China Sea project, Fairy Energy invested 800 billion yuan, accounting for 50% of the mineral rights, a large domestic energy company invested 400 billion yuan, accounting for a quarter of the mineral rights, a Japanese energy company invested 240 billion yuan, accounting for 15% of the mineral rights, and a large company in the European Union invested 140 billion yuan, with the remaining share. Because of the leading development of what is known as the world's largest energy project, the industry agrees that Fairy Energy has become an international energy oligarchy, "controlling China's energy lifeblood to a large extent". In addition to this project, she has also worked with Hindustan Energy to develop a project of about 500 billion yuan in venture capital, owning a 50% energy bill in the Indian Ocean, although not taking the lead in the project. In the competition for energy in Africa, she competed with a local energy company (United Energy Corporation for Africa) and an international oligarchy in Europe, investing at least more than 120 billion yuan, owning at least 30% of the project, and unexpectedly winning the development dominance. She is not afraid to be greedy and chew too much, and cooperated with Petrobras to develop a 300 billion yuan energy deposit in Antarctica, and ceded the dominant position with half of the share...... This series of actions has made her a big winner in the global energy industry for 43 years. The single investment has increased from more than 100 billion yuan to nearly one trillion yuan, and the contract investment has exceeded 1.32 trillion yuan, which is more than 300 billion yuan higher than the world's largest energy company. Since the establishment of the company, she has invested in seven large-scale projects, with a contract investment of up to 2.24 trillion yuan, occupying the leading power of four mining areas, involving projects of more than 4.3 trillion yuan, with an average share of more than 50%, becoming a major investor in the international energy community, especially in the surrounding areas of China, it has an absolute advantage, in the Indian market, she has the largest share of non-local enterprises, and ranks second among all the companies involved in the development of the white land of Antarctica...... So despite the fact that international critics believe that the fairy is in crisis at home, they are almost unanimous in continuing to be optimistic about this legendary company!

Over the years, the Li family has kept a low profile, whether it is the previous dominance or today's disputes, she has handled the company's business in a low-key manner, and the personal lives of family members are even more low-key, but she has not been exchanged for the respect or equal treatment of her opponents! For example, on October 17, 41, Zhu Yunong (Zhu's New Element Group) married the only daughter of the Air Force Commander*, which was rumored to be the only daughter of the Li family, because everyone knew about the relationship between a certain person and a certain person; And the grand wedding ceremony that caused a sensation throughout the summer in 42, according to statistics, the expenditure exceeded 250 million yuan (RMB), coupled with the prominent life experience of the parties, it became a moment of news, even after many years, Wang Mengmeng and Mai Xiuyuan's wedding was also talked about; In just three years, three pairs of young men from the banking syndicate have held marriages, which has become the focus of press hype. It has been noted that the oldest "harmony policy" is prevalent among the Fengyun families in China, the two-on-three marriage incident of the Xinyunlong banking group, the marriage incident of the Fanghepu banking group, and those rumored things, will this be a simple marriage, of course not, almost all the comments believe that this is the major banking syndicates in strengthening the ties of blood relatives...... People often put the three major banking groups together with Lee's Bank, not only calling them China's "new big banks", but also considering them to be the most powerful industrial groups representing the domestic private industry, and regard the families behind these industries as the most powerful social force that may affect the national situation in the future! Because China's political environment has entered the era of "money and family" after decades of development, and money, power and power have been intertwined, what impact will this have on China? It can be said that perhaps the private entrepreneurs in China do not care about politics, but at that moment, almost all the "families" have increased their political investment and implemented an unprecedented combination of political and business investment, so people pay more attention to this contest in the fairy city!
