The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 159 Political and Economic Research Office

"Jianhui, Ha Ting Kee sent us a message that the plan to cross the Tai Lam Tunnel from Tsuen Wan to Yuen Long Road will be put on hold for now. MacLehose is already dissatisfied with our growing strength and influence.

He suggested that we stop trying to force MacLehose to make concessions based on public opinion for the time being, for fear that the relationship between the two parties will become confrontational, which will be very detrimental to the future development of our Xinjian Department. "

In fact, Li Jianhui knew that MacLehose stood up to stop him from taking further action on British-funded enterprises these few times. He is not like some propaganda in his previous life. After all, he is still British at heart, and he always stands for the interests of Britain and the interests of British capital. work.

It has indeed done a lot of things that are beneficial to the citizens of Xiangjiang, such as the Independent Commission Against Corruption, compulsory education, etc., and also provided a relatively fair development environment for Chinese capital. These credits cannot be denied.

But the core of this is that it is under the control of the British government, which improves the image of the British government and strengthens the influence of the British government here, so that the citizens of Hong Kong can identify with it more. Stability factor.

As for the purpose of Xia Dingji's message, Li Jianhui naturally knew that it was nothing more than hoping that he would take a step back, and the conflict would inevitably intensify. As the chief executive, Xia Dingji would also save a lot of trouble.

Li Jianhui didn't dare to be reckless in this matter. At least for now, Xiangjiang still has the final say on MacLehose. If he directly rips his face apart, those opponents will firecrackers to celebrate him digging his own grave.

But he would not be reconciled if he just gave in like this. The Tianshuiwei project must be revitalized, otherwise the plan there will be severely frustrated, and in the next few years it will become a gold-swallowing beast of the Xinjian Department, and it is the kind that only invests and does not produce much. kind of.

Unable to think of a good solution, he got up and took Zhou Jiayi to the intelligence and governance office to listen to the analysis and suggestions of the elites here.

Li Jianhui's here is not only an intelligence agency, but also a political and economic research institute. There are five main offices here, one is Greater China, one is Japan and South Korea, one is Southeast Asia, one is North America, and the other is Western Europe.

At present, the focus is on the Greater China region, which is the market that Xinjian has focused on developing and operating in recent years.

Wu Jiankun, Director of the Intelligence and Governance Office, personally concurrently serves as the director of the Political and Economic Research Office of the Greater China Region. Currently, he is dealing with some good young talents, as well as retired professors from Xiangjiang University.

After listening to Li Jianhui's narration, these elites began to analyze the current situation, and specially asked the staff from the Western European Political and Economic Research Office to join in. After all, the situation in England must also be considered here.

At present, the core issue of Xiangjiang is the issue of ownership. This is a confrontation between two major powers. The influence of the Xinjian faction in Xiangjiang is increasing day by day. Without taking the British side, it is suppressed and suppressed by the MacLehose government at a certain level. Limitations are inevitable.

This is probably the main reason for MacLehose to make trouble for the Xinjian Department this time. If Li Jianhui changes his current position and turns to that side, it is estimated that these problems can be resolved immediately.

It's a pity that there is no need to consider this at all. At a large scale, it is a national righteousness, and at a low level, the benefits generated by the mainland market in the future will not be comparable to what it is now.

Now that the Xinjian Department has not publicly stated that Xiangjiang's return to the mainland is considered good, if the MacLehose government must target the Xinjian Department because of this, it can only do it at will.

Zhao Qiyun, deputy director of the Political and Economic Research Office of the Greater China Region, said: "McLehose is making things difficult for us at present. I don't think Xiangjiang's statement is the key point. Xiangjiang is now the same as us. For example, the charter king, the other party has not been deliberately against.

Personally, I think the main problem at present is that our Xinjian department is too strong, probably beyond the tolerance range of MacLehose, that's why we started to suppress and limit our development.

This is an inevitable thing for the rise of large-scale industrial groups in any region. No government can tolerate the control and monopoly of an uncontrolled industrial group or consortium on the local economy.

Facing the current situation, we need to do two things. One is to strengthen our public relations in England, so that they will think that even if we become bigger and stronger, it will not benefit them, but it will also cause trouble for other forces and let them come to MacLehose. exert pressure.

Here in Hong Kong, we actively publicize the members of the Executive Council. Although MacLehose is the governor, these people also have a very large say. As long as the majority of the members of the Executive Council support us, MacLehose can't do anything to us.

In particular, Xia Dingji, the Chief Executive, I suggest focusing on public relations.

This person worked in Xiangjiang in 1965. He once served as the chief financial officer and the chief executive for eight years. He has a great reputation in the political circles of Xiangjiang.

Moreover, this man has always had ambitions for the position of governor, and MacLehose seems to have been in power for too long. "

In England, the Conservative Party defeated the Labor Party in this year's general election. Five years later, the Conservative Party is in power again.

After the new government takes office, some positions will inevitably be adjusted, and MacLehose is definitely one of them, it's just a matter of time.

If there is a force to boost it, maybe this time will be greatly advanced.

Li Jianhui looked at the crowd and asked, "What about you, do you have any other opinions on this?"

Wu Jiankun said: "Li Sheng, I support Mr. Zhao's views, but I personally think that we should not keep staring at Xiangjiang for development. At this time, we need to go out and make some diversified investments, which is also beneficial to the future. In terms of development, if all eggs are put in one basket, they will easily break.”

In his opinion, the main reason why the Xinjian department was targeted this time is that its own strength is too strong, especially the split and merger of the two foreign firms, allowing the Xinjian department to occupy a leading position in many industries. This is a typical target, Xinjian The department is not a British-funded enterprise, so it will be a problem if it is not targeted.

Especially for this financing, the Xinjian Department has added billions of Hong Kong dollars. If the Xinjian Department is allowed to expand and develop like this, I am afraid that all industries in Xiangjiang will be dominated by the Xinjian Department.

In Wu Jiankun's view, his boss is still a young man after all, and he is too high-profile.

Although people do not frivolously waste young people, but in the business world, when it comes to this kind of big situation, frivolity will only add more troubles to themselves.

Moreover, my boss is too independent in business, and the core industry is not willing to share the profits at all. If Xinjian Group and Huihong Group pull two real British capitals into the shares, I am afraid that MacLehose will not easily embarrass Xinjian.

Sroder, director of the Political and Economic Research Office of Western Europe, also expressed his views. In his opinion, the Xinjian Department should minimize the expansion of other industries besides the existing ones in a short period of time.

Concentrate on developing the existing industries of the Xinjian Department, wait for a few years, and after the ownership of Xiangjiang is determined, Yinglun will inevitably release restrictions on the Xinjian Department, and even provide policy support for the expansion of the Xinjian Department as much as possible.
