Chapter 336: The Tao is Different
The people of the Dragon Kingdom have always struggled to survive in the Western world.
Therefore, there has long been a situation of huddling for warmth.
Like before, in the beginning, it must have been a small group of people from the same place who went abroad together to make a living, fellow villagers, and so on, in various forms. What kind of gangs, factions, and so on are formed with fellow townsmen associations or with a certain person as the main body? Later, there were trade unions, chambers of commerce, and so on.
However, speaking of which, in fact, it is also very scattered, and these are basically equivalent to some non-governmental self-protection groups. On the whole, in fact, it is still subject to people.
In today's terms, it's actually a bit of a low-end organization.
However, there are also some influences that have been formed. For example, some gangs formed by the Dragon Country Youth Gang and Hongmen in the Great Beautiful Country, they do have a greater influence in the Great Beautiful Country. However, it is always limited by some limitations, which cannot affect the acquisition of some really higher level problems.
To put it bluntly, it is in someone else's place, and there is no official one.
In recent years, they have also consciously cultivated their own needs and began to enter the government of some states and counties, and then they can win more rights and interests for the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
But it's a pity that in fact, those who have the ability to enter their high-level power circle are also people who are used by others, because it is impossible for people to let the Dragon Kingdom people who are not under their control enter their power circle.
Anyway, in a beautiful country, no matter what the trade union or chamber of commerce is, all of them have to work under the established rules of others, and they can't influence higher-level decisions.
However, there is still a certain difference between the Western world and the Great Beautiful Country, that is, there are more powers in the Western world, and each has its own interests, so this gives the people of the Dragon Kingdom a certain opportunity.
For example, the current British island countries, after breaking away from the alliance of a financial community in the West, have opened up the introduction of some foreign capital. Originally, there were some restrictions, but if it means that as long as you have money, you can buy everything on our British island country.
You know, if it was before, more than ten years ago, the capital businessmen of the Dragon Kingdom wanted to buy a football club from them, even if it was unlikely. The government of their British island country will not agree, their local capital will not agree, and even the ordinary people will not agree.
But now, these shackles have been broken, and as long as you have money, you can buy a football club from them, even if it is some century-old giants.
And for this country that regards football as its life, controlling a giant football club, this is actually equivalent to a way to advance to the high-level power center of their island country. Especially if this club is run well, then it will be supported by the local people, and through the support of the people, then it is equivalent to having a certain right to speak here. It is possible to obtain a certain interest in their high-level power.
Although it is impossible to obtain too many rights and interests, at least, they can make the voice of the dragon country people here. With an identity, the power to sit on the same stage as the powerful people of the upper class here with them.
Like Gao Jiyi and Guo Jianguang, they invested in the British island country, and they have a very deep understanding of this.
In addition, like Zhang Dongxing, although he did not invest in the British island country, but in Italy, the football club AC he now controls has a pivotal position in Italy, because the former director of general affairs of any country is the former owner of AC. With such a relationship, Zhang Dongxing realized that many Italian officials today can participate in some decision-making suggestions as long as he is willing to spend money.
They are now proposing to set up a Western Dragon Country Chamber of Commerce, which refers to the Chamber of Commerce of Dragon Kingdom merchants who can contact, or have the opportunity to contact, some powerful figures in Western countries, so that they can communicate with each other, and can echo each other, and slowly make the Dragon Kingdom people's position in the West more and more important.
Of course, they are just an idea for the time being, but it is a bit difficult to really do it. After all, such a chamber of commerce must be really rich, generally underfunded, petty businessmen, they
Those who think that it is not necessary to let them join, the capital is insufficient, and they will suffer from gains and losses if they invest a little money, and those who have no stamina will only be delayed if they join.
What they want is to use their own capital to go directly to the top of power in the Western world, and become people who speak louder.
They saw that Huang Bai had invested so much money in a short period of time, which made so many careers, and they also had a very good relationship with the officials in Nan'an City, the British Island country. So very much in line with the capital boss object they conceived, so, they want to get to know each other and pull Huang Bai into their small group.
As for He Weixiang, they have known each other before, so they can be regarded as ordinary friends. At present, He Weixiang has not invested in the West, and has talked to He Weixiang in private, but He Weixiang has no statement. He Weixiang is different from them, because his property has always been in the Dragon Kingdom, and it is still a family nature, and the industry is mainly the hotel industry, which is also destined not to be like Wang Zihui's family, who can easily cash out his property and then take the money and leave.
In addition, He Weixiang's hotel industry is also very limited if it wants to develop overseas. Because in today's world, there are so many peers, and everywhere, there will be local billionaires in their peers who control these industries. An outsider comes to compete with them, first of all, this audit may not pass you, and you can't get a business license, so it's useless to say anything.
In addition, those who do the hotel industry will indeed be affected by many factors. Let's put it this way, running such an industry in one place, without a white and black background, it is simply untenable. And if the local area is not stable enough, it will not be able to operate.
At present, only in a place like Longguo, where there are many people and social stability, the people are getting richer and richer, the network is developed, and more and more people like to travel, can the hotel service industry be operated in such a place, which can make more stable money.
Therefore, He Weixiang is not the object they want to pull into their Chamber of Commerce.
Another point is that they are mainly targeting the football industry at present, because in the Western world, it is indeed easier for them to gain Western recognition through football. Therefore, they also want to persuade Cork to invest in football.
They now have three capitals that invest in football, in fact, there are quite a few of them in total, and here in the British island, there are still several dragon capital that have acquired some football teams or have acquired certain shares. Then among the other football powers, there are also some shadows of the bosses of Dragon Capital, and Zhang Dongxing has been in contact with them. They believe that if all of them, the owners who have invested in football in the West, can unite, then they can form a force that the people of the dragon country can easily ignore.
Even, they, the businessmen of the Dragon Country, may win some seats on the board of directors of their Western football institutions, and anyway, it is possible to enter their institutions that manage Western football.
These are things that reflect the status and discourse power of the Dragon Kingdom in the West.
The most important thing is that it is more convenient for them to exchange suitable players for each other among their holding teams, and they can cultivate players together, especially the football players of the Dragon Kingdom. It is difficult to get this football in the Dragon Country, so use the environment, facilities, and competition mechanism of Westerners to train better football players in the Dragon Country.
Huang Bai heard a lot from them, and many of them agreed with them.
Especially in terms of using the Western environment to train football players in the Dragon Country.
However, Huang Bai said that he really needs to think about it, and he really hasn't thought about it for the time being, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of football.
As for the various investments, we will seek more voice in the Western world and enhance the status of the Dragon Country people in the West. This, cork is a question mark.
Because Huang Bai felt that this seemed to be of no practical benefit to the ordinary Longguo people who came to the Western world to make a living. Because of race, the impression of Westerners on the Dragon Country has been solidified, and they will be like this, not because there are Dragon people who have invested a lot of money in their world, and this capital boss will look down on other Dragon people if they have won the recognition of their local people, let alone because of this
And especially respect for those ordinary ordinary dragon people.
Just like in Central Asia, the real rich people give people the impression that they are stupid and have a lot of money, and they think that they are great and can buy the whole world. However, will ordinary people among them have privileges in the world? Will it be looked down upon? Respected?
Huang Bai thinks it really may not be. In fact, for a certain period of time, the Dragon Kingdom also gave Westerners the impression that the Dragon Kingdom people were stupid and had a lot of money.
In the final analysis, Huang Bai thinks that a so-called Western Dragon Kingdom Chamber of Commerce like them is just a capital game, no matter what rights and interests they seek, it is ultimately for their personal interests, and it has nothing to do with ordinary Dragon Country people.
In particular, if you really want to seek access to certain power structures in the West, then the first condition is that you must first become a Westerner. That is, to give up the identity of the dragon people and join their nationality.
That is, like Wang Zihui's royal family.
Huang Bai's idea has always been to make money from Westerners, and then take it back and feed it back into the Dragon Kingdom, such as doing more public welfare undertakings and so on.
Investing in this West is to get more returns, and like them, Huang Bai feels that it is more like spending money to buy face, and then what? Did you make any money? Will the money earned be used to develop the Dragon Kingdom?
These, Huang Bai really can't see for the time being, and what he sees is more like some dragon capital waving checks and showing off his wealth in the West. Whether they have contributed much to the Dragon Country, Huang Bai really can't see it, there are still so many poor places in the Dragon Country, they can't see it, let alone develop it, but with a lot of money earned from the Dragon Kingdom, they go to foreign countries to squander, such things are not uncommon.
Huang Bai himself does seem to be doing the same thing as them now, buying a shipyard here in the British island country and setting up an entertainment company. It seems that they are using the money they earned in the Dragon Kingdom to develop their economy this time.
But Huang Bai asked himself, his original intention was different in nature.
Let's talk about the shipyard, it seems that it is helping the British island country to develop their economy here, but Cork is for the shipbuilding technology here, and through the shipyard here, there is also the opportunity to get in touch with the more advanced shipbuilding technology of other shipyards. When the time comes, Huang Bai will definitely take the technology here back to the Dragon Kingdom, and will set up a shipyard in the Dragon Kingdom to copy their craft technology back to the Dragon Kingdom.
However, Cork is not a major development project, and in the end, it may not be able to obtain more advanced shipbuilding technology.
However, investing in entertainment companies is to plunder their wealth in the Western film market. After making money, this money will definitely flow into the dragon country and develop the dragon country.
Therefore, Huang Bai and them, in fact, are a little different from each other.
However, when they met for the first time, Huang Bai definitely didn't say too much, but just told them that they had no plans for the time being, and that the matter of joining their chamber of commerce needed to be carefully considered.
In this way, Huang Bai had a casual conversation with them, and then sent them away first. He Weixiang stayed, which was also why He Weixiang made it clear to them that he still had something to discuss with Huang Bai, and made an appointment with them to get together again.
These are also a kind of communication arts, and Huang Bai will not say much. Z.br>
After sending Zhang Dongxing away, He Weixiang asked his beautiful assistant lady to continue making tea and replace it with a better tea.
He drank tea and said to Huang Bai, "A few of them have developed well in the West, and now they really have a certain amount of energy. It doesn't hurt you to get to know them. Of course, whether you want to join them and develop with them in the Western world is up to you."
"Well, it doesn't hurt to get to know each other. However, if you cooperate, forget it." Huang Bai also took a sip of tea, I have to say, good tea, and then through a unique way to brew tea, is really different from the ordinary tea casually brewed tea, special fragrance awakening, if you look at the elegant process of the beautiful assistant to make tea, it is also more eye-catching.
"Oh? Xiaobai, do you have some prejudices against them?" He Weixiang was surprised when he heard this.
"No, no, I'm with them
If you don't know, what kind of prejudice can you have?" Huang Bai waved his hand and said, "Uncle He, you know me, I'm really just a person who wants to do something practical, especially since I'm actually an angry young man. If you don't have the ability, forget it, I have some ability, I just want to be able to contribute a little bit to the development of our Dragon Kingdom. It's a pity that my ability to be alone is limited, so I can only make some movie box office from the West, and use the money I earn to go back to the Dragon Kingdom to do something. If you really can't do anything, then throw the money to the public welfare department to do some public welfare. But these bosses, in the end, are still for their own purses, and they don't really want to make the majority of Longguo people who come to the West to make a living live better. They want to seek status in the West, but in fact, it is only for their personal benefit, and it has nothing to do with ordinary Dragon Country people, so I don't want to invest or develop anything with them."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't be able to get along with them. I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I'm really not familiar with them, but I know each other, and I'm pestered by them, so it's not good not to bring them to meet you. But I also admire your ambition, but it's a pity that I can't be as willful as you, I have held a few concerts, and the income is used for public welfare, and I have also heard about your company's public welfare department, it seems that there are a lot of public welfare projects recently, these money are all from your company, the amount is quite huge, I have to say, you are the most different one among the young people I have ever seen. It's a pity that the He family is a big family, and I really can't do it like you, otherwise, I would also like to take out part of the profits and set up a public welfare department."
"Uncle He, you just have this heart. Your family has a big business, and it is indeed different from mine, the main ...... My money comes more easily, and it's called taking from the people for the people." Huang Bai said and said to him, "Uncle He, you are in a hurry to come from China to see me, is there something wrong?"
"Mm-hmm, I've been watching your every move. I've always wanted to talk to you, and through the Peace Hotel, I found that making movies is really profitable, so I really wanted to hug your thighs and discuss with you, can I invest with you."
"Uncle Ho......
"You don't have to rush yet." He Weixiang interrupted Huang Bai with a smile and said, "I'm really a little jealous of your earning ability. However, I thought about it again, and I felt that you were an example, and you made money with your talent, which I am afraid no one can easily replicate. Your music and movies may be very risky for others, and investing in them may not pay off. But you are different, you are making money steadily, and you are now a rich man, so you will not lack money for investment. In this way, if I have to invest with you, it will be equivalent to giving me money for nothing. In particular, you are indeed more enthusiastic about making money and doing public welfare, and it would be too interesting if I had to invest and take a share from you. So ......."
He Weixiang paused and said, "So, I won't mention investing in movies with you again. But I got to know your aunt and cousin, and then I knew about your investment in Southamp, the British island country, and I also knew your plans. Then I'll come and talk to you about another business."
"Oh? Or something? Uncle He, you say."
Wong Cork Road.
"Titanic." He Weixiang said, "You copy this ship and leave it here in Southamp City in the future, right? Wouldn't it be operated as a hotel on the sea? Look, how about handing over this management to me? How about I hang the name of Hundred Flowers International Hotel?"
