readx;?“ Ning Ning, what are you going to read when you go to Hong Kong? ”

"I haven't decided yet, I won't officially enroll in August, but now I'm going to borrow it and check it out. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Ning Ning, why don't you go to the United States to study, come to Los Angeles, share a school with me, and I'll take you around to play.

"You know how to play. Ning Ning, where do you live in Hong Kong? ”

"Grandpa has already arranged it for me, in a community called Baguio Bay, which is said to be nice, quiet, and close to the University of Hong Kong."

"It's really good there, I've been to see it, there are mountains and seas, there are many trees, the air is good, and it's a new building that just opened last year, it's a brand new house, Baguio Bay is very close to our home, Ningning, you often come to our house to play when you have time."

"Sister-in-law, don't you just know how to play"

Shen Chong listened to the chatter and bickering of the three girls on the seat behind him, and smiled slightly, he knew a little more about Baguio Bay than Li Kaiyuan.

Baguio Bay is developed by New World Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Cheng Yutong, and is located at No. 555 Dolly Road, Pok Fu Lam District, on the seaside of Steel Line Bay, southwest of Hong Kong Island.

There are only more than 1,000 units in Baguio Bay, and those who buy houses are either rich or expensive, and one of them is the owner, Shen Chong has had dinner with him, this person's name is Li Junxia, the assistant commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Department, the most powerful Chinese in the police force, and arranged for Ning Ning to live in the same community with him, and it is the same building, which can be described as well-intentioned.

"Manager Zhang, Ningning's residence was arranged by you, right?" Shen Chong asked an old man in his fifties beside him and said, "Is it Building 8?" ”

The old man crossed his hands, leaned back on the back of the chair steadily, nodded slightly, and said: "It is also one of the responsibilities of our China Resources Company to properly arrange for the children of national leaders to study in Hong Kong, and I am President Ning's old subordinate, so I have to take care of Ning Ning." ”

This old man is Zhang Xiancheng, deputy general manager of China Resources Company, and this plane is not an ordinary civil aviation plane, but an official charter plane, and the passengers in it, except for Shen Chong and Li Kaiyuan, who are businessmen who take a hitchhiker, are all from the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Planned Economy, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Light Industry Bureau, and the foreign trade representatives of provinces, cities, and localities, and there are more than 50 people, and their destination is the China Resources Company in Hong Kong.

When many people think of Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s, they always think of the four major foreign banks and Li Ka-shing Pao Yugang, but when it comes to influence, there are two most important companies in Hong Kong, that is, HSBC and China Resources - one affects Hong Kong's economy and finance, and the other affects Hong Kong's daily life.

Therefore, when China Resources holds its annual meeting, the Governor of Hong Kong will attend to congratulate him.

China Resources is nominally a company, but in fact it is a foreign trade window set up by the Chinese government in Hong Kong, which is a gray shadow company registered in Hong Kong in the name of a private person and then stipulated through an internal agreement that the private person holds shares on behalf of the state.

After the liberation, starting in the 60s, the mainland used the "three express trains" to supply Hong Kong and Macao fresh and frozen commodities, of which live animals and live poultry accounted for more than ninety percent of the Hong Kong market, and these commodities were sold exclusively by Wufeng Hong, a subsidiary of China Resources.

In the 70s, when the oil crisis occurred, the price of oil and rice skyrocketed, China Resources Company transported oil and rice from the mainland to Hong Kong, stabilized the price of oil and rice, and thus controlled the daily life of the Hong Kong people, and by 1980, China Resources has been involved in gas stations, warehouses, cargo holds, docks, oil tankers, fleets, shopping malls, supermarkets, subway construction and many other industries, with dozens of subsidiaries, quietly becoming a big crocodile in Hong Kong's business community

China Resources not only occupies a pivotal position in Hong Kong's daily necessities, but also in the mainland, it is a state-owned enterprise directly under the Ministry of Foreign Trade, monopolizing the foreign export trade business of all provinces in the mainland, with an annual import and export trade volume of billions of US dollars, it is one of the most powerful and enviable work units in the mainland, with many benefits, good treatment, and can also work in Hong Kong's Huahua world. It can be found that many second generations are inextricably linked with China Resources.

In 1957, the first "Canton Fair", China Resources was one of the founding units, and in 1978, it created a "three to one supplement" trade model, so at this time Hong Kong people want to go to the mainland to set up factories or investment, China Resources is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

Li Kaiyuan set up a toy factory in Shenzhen, and was able to lay the foundation and put it into production so quickly, also because of the participation of China Resources - Shen Chong took the high-level route, let the upper and lower documents, let China Resources invest and support, symbolically occupy a little stake in the toy factory, and then as a central enterprise, helped solve a lot of procedural problems, you must know that at this time, to build an ordinary house in the mainland, you have to run dozens of departments, cover UU more than one chapter, without the help of China Resources, will face a lot of trouble and ridicule.

After the great success of Li Kaiyuan's toy factory, almost all businessmen in Hong Kong would first go to the China Resources Company to ask for a shareholder before going to the mainland to invest and set up factories, and if China Resources did not become a shareholder, they would rather not invest -- on the one hand, with the participation of China Resources, they could avoid a lot of troubles in the formalities; second, China Resources is a state-owned enterprise, and there is little social resistance to approving tiger skins; you must know that at this time in the mainland, capitalists are not a compliment; third, if the mainland's policies change and the investment is wasted, you can still ask for some soup from China Resources.

All in all, in the late 70s and early 80s, China Resources Company was full of glory, but it was the unchanging truth in the world.

In 1978, the mainland began to reform the foreign trade system, and in August of that year, Guangdong took the lead in separating from the foreign trade system and began to operate import and export trade on its own.

A year later, in August 1979, Fujian, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin were separated from the foreign trade system

Although the Ministry of Economic and Trade of the People's Republic of China has repeatedly ordered that other provinces are not allowed to leave the foreign trade system for the time being, they will not suffer from inequality, and everyone will be poor and afraid that the turmoil has just passed, and who does not want to grab some foreign exchange to come back to improve their lives? As a result, within a few months, more than 10 provinces and municipalities declared their independence in foreign trade, separated from the national unified foreign trade system, and were responsible for their own profits and losses.

After coming to Hong Kong with a large number of commodities, some forced to buy and sell, some dumped at low prices, some operated in the dark, and some damaged the public and private, which seriously impacted the dealer system that China Resources had painstakingly operated for decades......

"Manager Zhang, I heard that when you were in a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Trade, you scolded people for four days in a row." Shen Chong pretended to be gossip and curious, and said, "How is the effect?" Is there any benefit to scolding China Resources? ”

"What's the benefit, I'm just asking for a refreshing look." Zhang Xiancheng had a resigned expression and said: "I'm old, I'm going to retire in two years, I don't seek fame or profit, but I can't see those juniors messing around and ruining the reputation of our China Resources." ”

"Manager Zhang, are you bluffing me?" Shen Chong said with a smile: "It is said that honest people do not threaten, and they scare people to death when they threaten them, you are an old-timer of the Ministry of Economy and Trade, this scolding will definitely be rectified, and then China Resources will have a better life." ”

"Rectification, that's a must." Zhang Xiancheng said slowly: "However, the whole country is reforming, and China Resources can't be left alone, and it also needs to be changed." ”

"Oh?" Shen Chong became interested and asked, "How to change the law?" ”

"China Resources used to take foreign trade agency as its main business, but judging from the situation of this meeting, the independence of foreign trade in various provinces and cities is the trend of the times and cannot be reversed." Zhang Xiancheng squinted his eyes slightly and said: "In my opinion, China Resources can only transform into an industry, ** said, self-reliance, abundant food and clothing, the provinces and cities in the mainland do not give us goods, China Resources will produce and sell by itself, we have shopping malls, supermarkets, ships and trains, this is a big advantage, others can't compare." ”

"So what kind of industry does China Resources plan to do?" Shen Chong knocked on the side and asked, "Is it fresh farming, or textiles and daily necessities, or real estate?" I heard that you are working with Li Ka-shing to develop Tin Shui Wai? ”

"We produce what the market needs." Zhang Xiancheng spoke strictly, recited the slogan and played Tai Chi, and said: "The project of Tin Shui Wai is still in the planning stage, and there is a lot of controversy. ”

Shen Chong smiled and complimented: "Manager Zhang, you are really leaky." ”

The real estate development in Tin Shui Wai was a famous dispute during the negotiations on Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and no matter how strict Zhang Xiancheng's tone was, he could not stop Shen Chong's foresight, and after a while, he asked: "I heard that China Resources is still an unlimited liability company, and if it goes to work, it will be transformed into a limited liability company?" ”

"That's inevitable." This is business common sense, not a secret, Zhang Xiancheng did not hide it, said: "We are studying the restructuring of China Resources into a group company, and the relationship between China Resources and its subsidiaries is no longer an administrative relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a joint-stock company linked by equity." ”

When Shen Chong heard this, he hurriedly asked, "When do you plan to start the restructuring?" ”

"It's still researching, it's still researching, and when the report is submitted." Zhang Xiancheng said with a smile: "When the boss says that the system can be reformed, we will change the system when it is." ”

This old gentleman is really rigorous......

After China Resources was reorganized into a company, relying on the name of a central enterprise and a management level higher than that of mainland enterprises, it started everywhere and developed everywhere, and 30 years later, it became a behemoth with assets of nearly one trillion yuan, ranking in the top 00 of the Fortune 50, and it is a super ship.

Shen Chong, who had watched the privatization of Russia after the end of the Soviet Union and the process of the shareholding reform of state-owned enterprises in the mainland in the 90s, naturally understood that this restructuring was a good time for him to get on board.

Shen Chong in Hong Kong, and Cheung Kong established a preliminary relationship of interests, in Taiwan, there is Wei Jingmeng dotted, and the Jiang family has interests to deal, if the joints of China Resources are opened again, the formation of an invisible consortium across the two sides of the strait and three places will not be a pipe dream, when the time comes, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the media empire with movies as the core will be as stable as Mount Tai.
