Chapter 70: Youde's Speech
Youde's attention made Li Xuechu feel a little pressure, some time ago, the money he made by taking the opportunity of the war has not been covered yet, and it is really a bit troublesome if it is revealed. Although ten years later, there is still a Soros who has made Britain even worse, but behind them is the United States of America, and he is a second-class citizen of the colony, which cannot be compared.
Fortunately, after a few casual conversations, Youde shifted his target and started talking to others. There are a lot of things to do. A gathering like this is a gathering for Hong Kong locals, and at most it is an opportunity to talk about business cooperation or connect with new and old friends. But there is no doubt that Youde held such gatherings with political purposes.
Silently paying attention to Youde's conversation with others, Li Xue showed some signs at the beginning.
Compared with politicians and cultural circles, Youde is obviously more 'fond' with shopping mall tycoons, among whom real estate developers are the most.
You De repeatedly praised the real estate developers for their contributions to the construction of the city of Hong Kong, and repeatedly said that Hong Kong Real Estate has a lot to offer. It is believed that the land price in Xiangjiang is not high now, but low, and it can rise sharply in the future.
Listening to his almost instigating remarks, Li Xuechu smiled a little dumbly.
In a few months, the real estate market, stock market, and finance in Xiangjiang will all dive into the water, and if the uninformed businessmen are really fooled and fall into it now, they will really cry to death.
Of course, in the long run, it will be easy for the government to raise housing prices by virtue of its administrative powers.
Compared with other industries, real estate is the least skilled way to make money. As long as you can get the land, you can build it yourself or subcontract it to other construction companies, and you can make a lot of money. This is also the favorite industry in the country in later generations, and almost all the rich and local governments have plunged headlong into the happy big business of making money, making the small people miserable.
It wasn't until two years before the crossing, that it was about to threaten the foundation if it was done again, so it was strictly controlled, but I didn't dare to let him collapse, and if he wanted to collapse, the finances would go bankrupt, so I had to hand it over to time to digest it slowly.
"Xiangjiang is too small to establish a complete supporting industrial system, but Xiangjiang is blessed with a unique place and is a natural transit port...... Seeing more and more people coming around, Youde began his impromptu speech: "In a city like this, we generally focus on the development of finance and service industries, which are quick and profitable...... Let's think about it, China is a big country with a population of more than one billion, and it is impossible for this country to be ignored by capital in today's increasingly perfect business. But his system is destined to be prohibitive, so who will the big companies choose? Hong Kong is the choice. ”
Youde's voice became more and more high-pitched, and his originally slightly pale face began to flush as if he had drunk wine, and he continued his speech in fluent Xiangjiang language, accompanied by body language that seemed exaggerated by excitement.
"How many large enterprises will want to enter the Chinese market in the future, 300? Five hundred? Thousands! Their best choice can only be Xiangjiang, and after Xiangjiang settles down, they will carefully extend their tentacles to the big 6 little by little...... With so many big enterprises and so much money, they want to buy buildings, lease office space, and hire hundreds of thousands, millions of employees! Gentlemen, think about it, what a huge business opportunity this is? ”
Li Xuechu secretly admired, in the short term, he was right, and the people around Youde had excited expressions on their faces, obviously somewhat persuaded by him. However, the progress of reform and opening up is much faster than they imagined, and the degree to which large enterprises leave or shift their focus is much faster than they imagined. As a region with different systems, even if the financial services are in place, they cannot compete with the magic capital, and they are naturally disadvantaged.
"Billions of pounds is not a fantasy, tens of billions or more are possible. When the time comes, we, you, and everyone in Hong Kong will reap tremendous benefits from it. ”
Li Xuechu smiled bitterly, the agent of a big country is not so simple. When modern times can't be rationalized, there will be an empty shell left. People can only rely on themselves.
“…… Gentlemen, even a doubling of your wealth in three years is not an illusion, it is entirely possible, and it is not difficult. Youde closed the lecture with a conclusion.
The rich and politicians around "Papapa......" gave a warm applause to the face.
After the speech, the people did not disperse, but came forward to exchange with the cordial Mr. Governor. In fact, as elites, many people can see the risks of the future, but for those crises that will be born at least ten years later, the immediate benefits are even more exciting. Moreover, the crisis is shared by the whole Xiangjiang, and for the giant businessmen who have a deep relationship with the political circle, as long as they evacuate before the crisis comes.
The unlucky ones are only small and medium-sized businessmen and citizens, and it is estimated that it doesn't matter to a few bigwigs on this floor, and they can even take the opportunity to buy the bottom of Dali City. As long as the government's 'determination' to support real estate is there, it will not be a problem. The future of the city has nothing to do with big businessmen, and they can be ignored if they see it. This is the government's problem, not its own, as long as you have money to earn.
In later generations, the real estate market and stock market in Xiangjiang collapsed several times, but the wealth of several bigwigs at the top of the food chain became higher and higher. Until the crossing, real estate was still the pillar industry of Hong Kong. It's a pity that Xiangjiang's education system has been used to train talents in real estate and finance, and there has been little achievement in industry and technology.
The British are still powerful, and after the Ninety-Seven period, purely from an economic point of view, it is really hard to say whether Xiangjiang is a burden or a help to the country. In any case, the goal was achieved, and most of the British capital withdrew from the high position before the handover, and happily withdrew its capital and left, leaving only the financial and real estate of Xiangjiang. Finance is difficult to regulate due to institutional problems, and it is useless, let alone real estate. Not to mention it, I gritted my teeth and fed back a lot.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li?" At some point, Youde walked up.
Yu Jia next to him touched Li Xuechu, which made him wake up from his contemplation.
"Oh, Sir Youde, hello."
The two shook hands again.
"What do you think of what Mr. Lee just said?" Youde asked with a smile.
"Very insightful, and I think Sir Jud would have been a successful businessman if he had been in business." Li Xuechu replied with a smile.
For Li Xuechu's compliment, Youde was very useful. "Hehe, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
It's really a 'China expert', the humility of the Chinese people is quite smooth, and according to the way of foreigners, they should say 'thanksyou'.
"Mr. Li is a successful person, he has made achievements in culture, film and television, and even business, and I heard that he has also won in finance recently, which is not easy." Youde said with a smile.
Li Xuechu chuckled, it seems that people have paid attention to themselves.
This is another butterfly effect, because the original history was too sudden, the wolf-like international capital did not come to its senses, and the war began, and there was not much benefit. Now that there is more Li Xuechu, who has a preemptive, he has let some big capitals that smell blood 'eat' in advance. Although he only earned 100 million, the UK's losses were far more than these, and the leading ones were all international predators.
The capital market is like the African savannah, and it is your own cheetah that pounces on the prey, but when you are half-full, you are squeezed aside by the lions and hyenas who rushed to hear the news, but it is better for others to gain more.
The world of capital still depends on the block, and his 'size' is still too small, although there is such a thing as 'leverage', but the otaku who is new to finance dare not use it too fiercely, this thing is too exciting, and the heart is not big enough.
"I'm a successful businessman, and I'm also a law-abiding businessman." Li Xuechu replied with a smile.
I didn't break the law, what can you do with me?
"Hehe, Mr. Li may have misunderstood what I meant. We, the British Empire, are very tolerant of law-abiding merchants. Youde said, waving his hand.
Believe you, Britain is notoriously stingy.
"Several of my British friends in Hong Kong are full of praise for your successful operation. By the way, Mr. Li, you are now the chairman of Kowloon Bank, do you have any intention of giving up some of your shares? A senior friend of mine at Standard Chartered is very interested in your bank, and if you agree, Mr. Li, he is willing to buy part of the shares of Kowloon Bank at a high price, and promise that it will not affect your qualifications as chairman, and the price will definitely satisfy you. ”
Is this to recruit An? Li Xuechu glanced to the side, and Lin Yujia stared at him nervously, for fear that he would nod. The old man not far away also widened his eyes, agreeing to Li Xuechu's shareholding does not mean that he agrees with others to join in, even if he doesn't lose anything in money.
As a colony rooted in the past 100 years, British financial capital occupies a very high position in today's Xiangjiang. Although Chinese-funded banks have risen in recent years, they cannot be compared with British banks in terms of scale. Of course, in addition to capital advantages, there are also political factors. Banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered are commercial banks in Xiangjiang, but they actually play the role of central banks, and Xiangjiang currency is owned by others. As a referee and an athlete, I took advantage of it.
"I'm sorry, but my company has no plans to sell." Li Xuechu refused.
Seeing that Youde frowned and wanted to say something, Li Xuechu added: "I'm used to being careless, and I'm not used to being disciplined, and now I'm very satisfied." Even if your friend promises not to participate in the business, it will be inconvenient to have one more person in practice, so I'm sorry. ”
Seeing that people didn't let go, Youde sighed.
"Well, it's just going to disappoint him this time."
After Youde left, the old man leaned in.
"Yes, Chuzai, I really didn't disappoint the old man." The old man patted him on the shoulder approvingly, and then said: "But one yard is one yard, the real estate matter that the Hong Kong Governor said is quite interesting, why don't we slow down and see the market first?" ”
"Grandpa Lin, it is precisely because of this that it is convenient for us to withdraw first, there are many things to make money. Real estate has a head, and there is no rush to come back in the future, so let's wait for the results of the negotiation first, half-heartedness is not good. Li Xuechu persuaded.
With such an encouragement to Youde, it is estimated that there are many businessmen who want to enter the market now, and the current situation of the Falklands naval battle is also like a decisive victory, which has strengthened the confidence of some people. It seems that the return to negotiations is no longer a 'problem', and in the short term, Xiangjiang is like a reassuring pill.
After winning the war, the Iron Lady wanted to take down the negotiations with one blow of power. But the government is a smooth donkey, you are kind to say, except for the issue of principle, other things can be discussed, you use the war to pressure me, I have never been afraid of you?
