Chapter 243: Lantern Festival (Part II)
"Today, there are a lot of newcomers in our Hong Kong and Macao business circles, and this young man looks good." On the tea table, Huo Yingdong suddenly looked at Xu Guanwu and said with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xu Guanwu Xu of the Hui Group, a Hong Kong media tycoon; Mr. Xu, this is Mr. Huo Yingdong. Liang Weilin introduced with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, hello! I've admired the name for a long time. Xu Guanwu smiled.
"Oh?! Me too! Huo Yingdong also suddenly smiled, "We have our current net worth in two years, which really dwarfs our group." The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and it is not good to accept the old. ”
"Brother Huo, you are not old, and you will contribute to China and Hong Kong in the future." A person next to him said with a smile.
"Yes, what I hope to see most is that Hong Kong can return to the motherland." Huo Yingdong sighed and said, "I hope I can see it in my lifetime." ”
"The New Territories were only leased out for 99 years, and there is still a possibility of repossession. However, Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula are difficult to say. One of them sighed, "Originally, it was directly assigned to the British." ”
"The New Territories are still just a large rural area, and taking them back will not help the motherland much. However, Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula have been operating for many years, and all the wealth has been piled up here. It is better that all these things must be returned to the interior, and the British cannot be allowed to continue to occupy them. Someone said again.
"Alas, I remember that Mr. Xu's concept of 'one country, two systems' was very innovative that day, but I don't know what kind of idea it is?" Huo Yingdong suddenly asked Xu Guanwu again.
Xu Guanwu's head suddenly grew when he heard this, and he had just been taught a lesson by Dina, and he knew the so-called "one country, two systems" concept. It is absolutely not to be mentioned casually. Because there will be too much opposition. And Xu Guanwu is not Taizong. How can it hold down other opponents?
Lu Xun once said that in China, moving a chair will bleed. What's more, the current situation of struggle is no less than that of the Republic of China, and it is precisely the red flags everywhere that there are as many angry youths as dogs. The idea of "one country, two systems" is really too far ahead of its time, and if it touches the sensitive nerves of those people, the consequences will be really unimaginable. You may be stuck with a nail in the wall, and you may be able to use bullets to hit targets every day.
Come to think of it. Xu Guanwu admired Taizu and Taizong more and more, and dared to put forward so many innovative ideas, even if Qianfu pointed out the righteousness, he still implemented it boldly without mercy.
"I had a wrong idea, and I had just been criticized by Ms. Dina, and I had already recognized my mistake, so I don't need to say anything more." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.
"Oh?! yes, that's a shame. I would have liked to hear your opinion again. Huo Yingdong said with a disappointed face.
Then someone changed the topic to the Canton Fair, and everyone present suddenly became excited.
Xu Guanwu had not participated in the Lantern Festival before, nor had he paid attention to the news between China and Hong Kong. So when they were discussing the Canton Fair with great interest, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be a little distracted when he sat next to him.
"Mr. Xu. Are you interested in accompanying us to the Canton Fair this year? Huo Yingdong suddenly asked.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile and scratch his head when he heard this, "I was embarrassed to ask what you guys were talking about just now, what does this Canton Fair do?" ”
Hearing Xu Guanwu say this, everyone present couldn't help laughing. Liang Weilin looked embarrassed, "This is our mistake, we didn't do a good job in the promotion of the Canton Fair." ”
"No, no, it's that I don't pay much attention to the news in the financial world, so I don't know much about it." Xu Guanwu said busily, and he had a good impression of Liang Weilin, who had the courage to admit his mistakes.
"The full name of the Canton Fair is the China Import and Export Fair, which is held in Guangzhou, so it is also known as the Canton Fair. It is mainly to do export business with overseas merchants. Huo Yingdong explained with a smile.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, in his impression, he thought that the mainland was very closed in the sixties and seventies, how could there be such an advanced trade fair? But it's right to think about it in turn, at that time, China and the third shijie country made a lot of friends, and in addition to political exchanges, there were bound to be economic exchanges, and it was normal to have trade fairs.
But I don't do foreign trade business, what do I do at the Canton Fair? There's nothing to buy. However, it would hurt to refuse directly, Xu Guanwu thought for a while and asked, "When will the Canton Fair be held?" ”
"It's tentatively scheduled for April 15 this year." Liang Weilin said with a smile, "Mr. Xu is interested, you can go and have a look, our domestic goods are still very rich." Machinery manufacturing these heavy industries are not much to mention, light industry we also have a lot of fist products, tea, silk, bamboo weaving, medicinal materials, ceramics ......"
Mr. Liang Weilin has a really good memory, and he said nearly 50 kinds of light industrial products at once. Seeing the old man breaking his fingers and selling hard, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but be moved.
This is a good cadre of the people, in order to win over every businessman, it is not easy to remember so many things at a young age. Xu Guanwu felt that he was rushing to this point, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't be a person.
"Yes, yes, I'm interested, count me in." Xu Guanwu raised his hands and signed up.
"That's great! We all know that Mr. Xu is a rich man, so don't be soft when you go to the fair, and vigorously support the country's economic construction. Huo Yingdong said with a smile.
"No problem, I just have some money left in the bank." Xu Guanwu also said with a smile.
"One Flew Over the Asylum" box office is more than 80 million US dollars, excluding the distributor, the theater chain and the share of Douglas and his son, Xu Guanwu still has more than 20 million US dollars, which has been stored in HSBC, let Shen Bi help him toss.
"Mr. Xu, do you want to disclose a number, let us all be mentally prepared, lest you sweep all the goods when you get it, and we people will go for nothing." Someone said with a smile next to him.
When he mentioned this, everyone was interested, and they all heard how rich Xu Guanwu was, and the speed of his jump was close to that of a rocket, but after all, it was just a legend, and he really hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Xu Guanwu scratched his head, "About twenty-four million, US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Wow!" Everyone present was Chinese, 24 million US dollars. More than 130 million Hong Kong dollars. It was definitely a lot of money at the time.
Especially for import and export trade. Every penny is earned with careful calculation, and it may not cost a lifetime to earn hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Everyone here is also a stalwart of Hong Kong's business community, but there are really not many who are worth more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
To be honest, if the net worth was really more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, there would be no need to do business with the mainland at that time, and it would be a risk of killing your head. Just like today's businessmen who are willing to take risks to do business in North Korea, even if they don't pin their heads to their belts, they really tremble at every step.
Huo Yingdong was also a little surprised by Xu Guanwu's arrogance, hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars were nothing to him. He also often goes to Guangzhou every year to discuss business, and the annual transaction volume is tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. But his relationship with the mainland has long been as strong as iron, and his connections have long been good, so he has the courage to throw a lot of money.
But Xu Guanwu clearly didn't even know what the Canton Fair was before, and he dared to spend 20 million US dollars to sweep the goods for the first time, which was really a bit stupid and bold.
Liang Weilin heard Xu Guanwu report a number, there were more than 20 million yuan was already a joy in his heart, and when he turned around and heard him add that it was US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars, he immediately choked.
That's 24 million dollars! In the seventies, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only large, and they never reached double digits, okay? That's 24 million dollars! Foreign exchange reserves rose by 10 percentage points. What a contribution!
Liang Weilin was about to be stunned, "Mr. Xu." If there is a turnover of 20 million US dollars, I will personally apply to the state to award you a grand prize. ”
"Then President Liang, you have to hurry up and prepare, you must let the supply of goods be prepared over there, otherwise it will all be covered by Mr. Xu, and we will have no goods when we go." Someone said with a smile.
"No, no, the country's productivity has increased a lot now, and it is guaranteed that there will be no shortage of goods." Liang Weilin said with a smile.
……
After the Lantern Festival ended, Xu Guanwu and Zhao Yazhi took a car home.
After getting into the car, Zhao Yazhi smiled and sat by the window with a straight face.
Xu Guanwu glanced at her, "What are you doing?" Why are you unhappy? ”
"Don't talk to me, don't want to pay attention to you." Zhao Yazhi said coldly.
"What's the matter, I'm playing with a child's temper again!" Xu Guanwu frowned, "Just say anything about it." ”
"Okay, let me say it, then let me ask you, why did you agree to go to the mainland and participate in the Canton Fair?" Zhao Yazhi asked with a glare.
"That's it?! Is this worth being angry about? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile, "What's there to be angry about, everyone here says go, but I don't say I go, doesn't it seem very unsociable?" Besides, I said that they were sincerely invited, so I simply took a trip. Hong Kong is so close to the mainland, will it not be possible to get along with each other for the rest of our lives? ”
"It's dangerous for you to do this, if the British authorities in Hong Kong know about it, you will be suppressed by them." Zhao Yazhi angrily slapped Xu Guanwu's arm and said.
"Alas! Vigorously and a few more beats on the back, I feel uncomfortable in the past few days, and my whole body is full of Thai after being beaten a few times by you. Zhao Yazhi was beating, Xu Guanwu shouted at the same time, and the angry Zhao Yazhi didn't beat it anymore, and twisted it directly.
"Alas! Alas! Let go, let go, it hurts! Xu Guanwu shouted, "What are you worried about, the British authorities in Hong Kong have not had a good life for a few days, and besides, with my current status, they can't handle it if they want to." It's a big deal that I don't do business, and I will buy a yacht with you to travel around Shijie, with my current assets, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you? ”
"Humph! When people tell you to get down to business, you'll talk about these useless things. Zhao Yazhi said angrily, "Think about it, even Huo Daheng was bullied by them and didn't dare to move, how many heads did you have?" ”
"Alas, if you want to speculate, you naturally have to take some risks, otherwise there is no such thing as a profit in the world." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Not to mention anything else in the mainland, there are hundreds of millions of people, what a huge market this is, and how much energy will be released once it opens up, have you considered these?" ”
"You mean the mainland will have more potential than Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi asked in disbelief, in her impression, mainlanders are not well fed and clothed, and they live a miserable life under high pressure.
The potential surpasses that of Hong Kong, it's funny!
"Of course, the rise of Hong Kong is due to the decline of the magic capital, once the magic capital rises, what else can Hong Kong have?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sneer, "The place is small, the population is insufficient, all raw materials need to be imported, and the means of living also need to be supplied from the mainland. ”
"So according to what you say, the mainland will definitely be better than Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi asked, "Then why don't other people go, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and these people don't go?" Aren't these people more business-minded than you? ”
"You underestimate your husband and me too much, which of these tycoons has been like me for two years?" Xu Guanwu said depressedly, "Besides, they are all real estate developers, and now the mainland is not open to real estate, what are they going to do?" And the current strategy is to explore the road first and then pave the road, and when the time comes, the road paved with mud and sand will be completely turned into a diamond and gold road. Sending charcoal in the snow is naturally more likely to move people's hearts than icing on the cake. They are slow to act, and when they really rise, can they still get so many political dividends when they run over to join in the fun? (To be continued......)
