In the 1980s and 1990s, the British Hong Kong government allowed Hong Kong to run its course and even led it maliciously, which led to the poisoning of Hong Kong's subsequent development by real estate and finance. Before that, Hong Kong was among the best in Asia in terms of manufacturing and technology. Since Li Zetian came to Hong Kong, he could not sit back and watch. Change Hong Kong through your own influence, create wealth at the same time, and use Hong Kong as a base to open up the Asian market!
Hong Kong's geographical location is excellent, it is indeed the best choice for Li Zetian based in Asia.
At this moment, Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, returned to the company with a sad face. Immediately, he convened a board meeting to tell Li Zetian's acquisition of the shares of Hutchison Whampoa.
"The first conversation with Chronos Li didn't go well," Shen Bi shook his head and said, "He was very dissatisfied with my offer."
The charter king is also a director of HSBC. He is very concerned about this matter. Li Jiacheng is his good friend and helped him fight against the British capital in the battle of Wharf. Therefore, he is very much in favor of selling the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng, "Mr. Shen, what's your offer?" He hurriedly asked.
"HK$17 per share."
The chartered boat was stunned for a while. The price was significantly higher than the share price of Hutchison Whampoa.
"How much does Chronos Li want to give?"
"I didn't say how much, I just said that I will talk to him when HSBC is sincere." Shen Bi stopped, frowned, and hesitated, "He seems to know the agreement reached between HSBC and Li Jiacheng..."
All other directors knew that Shen Bi planned to sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng at a low price. One was to look at Li Jiacheng's future position in Hong Kong, and the other was to please mainland China. After Hong Kong's return, HSBC can transition smoothly and operate normally.
"We should sell Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng no matter how much os·Li pays!" The charter king said.
Shen Bi narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and motioned for the charter king to continue.
"First of all," said the charter king, "Li Jiacheng is from Hong Kong. He has been in Hong Kong for many years and has a huge network of contacts. As for his ability, everyone can see that Cheung Kong Industrial Group has developed into one of the best in Hong Kong. A big company with amazing performance. Moreover, Li Jiacheng is also among the businessmen in Hong Kong. Talking about a few people who can meet and talk with 'Deng' has won the support of Beijing. On the other hand, Chronos Li, although he has a lot of assets, he is an American People, the influence in Hong Kong is far less than Li Jiacheng. HSBC should consider Li Jiacheng for the long-term plan!"
When Shen Bi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what the charter king said was quite reasonable. HSBC's roots are in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. At present, Li Jiacheng is obviously a more suitable candidate.
The other directors also began to express their opinions at this time.
Several directors agreed with the words of the charter king.
However, a director raised two questions. He said: "If the amazing Li Zetian also went to Hong Kong, or even the UK to develop, what would it be like? In addition, the charter king said that Chronos Li is an American, so what about Li Jiacheng? Not Canadian?"
The crowd fell silent.
The director went on to say: "Everyone, I chatted with Chronos Li's father, Li Chengzhi, and he told me that next year's Spring Festival, their family will go back to mainland China to visit relatives. Of course, the family also includes Chronos Li. Just imagine. , when a person like him returns to the mainland, what is Beijing's attitude, and what is Deng's attitude? Maybe you don't know, Chronos Li once wrote a Chinese song at Harvard University, the song's name is " My Chinese Heart", when he sang at the Harvard Chinese New Year Gala, when a song came down, all the Chinese present couldn't help but burst into tears!!!" After a pause, he continued, "This song fully reflects the Chronos Li's patriotism, how can Beijing not know it? Should Beijing value Li Jiacheng more or Chronos Li more? There is no doubt that it is the latter!!!"
Everyone was surprised, and Shen Bi couldn't help but ask: "Mr. James, do you still remember this song? Can you sing a few sentences? Let us feel it."
"Okay, then I'll sing a few words..."
The director nodded, pondered for a while, and sang: "
Rivers and mountains are only in my dreams
The motherland has not been close to the motherland for many years
But no matter what, it won't change
my China Heart
Although the dress is worn on the body
My heart is still Chinese
…
Yangtze Great Wall Huangshan Yellow River
weight in my heart
anytime, anywhere
dear in heart
blood in the heart
The voice of China is surging
Even if you are born in a foreign country, it will not change
my China Heart"
Although there are foreigners who cannot understand Chinese among the directors of HSBC, there are also many people who can understand. Like Shen Bi, they have lived in Hong Kong for a long time, and even gave themselves Chinese names. After listening to this song, they All expressed surprise.
Among them, the deepest feeling is none other than the charter king. He is a patriotic overseas Chinese and has an incomparably affectionate attachment to the motherland! In his previous life, he enthusiastically supported the construction of the motherland. In addition to donating huge sums of money to build Zhaolong School, Zhongxing Middle School, and Ningbo University for his hometown, he also built Beijing Zhaolong Hotel, Shanghai Jiaotong University Bao Zhaolong Library, and Bao Yugang Library. Zhaolong, Bao Yugang Scholarship for International Students, etc.
At this moment, his eyes couldn't help turning red. The song seemed to hit his heart, which greatly changed his impression of Li Zetian.
Shen Bi said at this time: "There is no doubt that this song has sung the voice of countless patriotic Chinese, and Beijing will definitely look at Chronos Li in a different way. What's more, he is now the richest Chinese man and has a huge influence!"
"Indeed, Chronos Li may be more valued by Beijing!"
…
At this time, Li Zetian was planning to build the Hong Kong Science Industrial Park with Zhetian University as the core.
He discussed with Li Chengzhi, "The establishment of the Hong Kong Science and Industrial Park will combine enterprise production, schools, and scientific research institutions, that is, 'production, education and research', and give full play to their respective advantages to form a strong advanced system integrating research, development, and production. The operation process shows comprehensive advantages. Silicon Valley in the United States is developed based on this model! At present, Taiwan has established the Hsinchu Science Industrial Park, but there is no movement in Hong Kong. I think it is time to join the business community and universities in Hong Kong to find The British Hong Kong government negotiates!"
Li Chengzhi nodded and said: "Well, your idea is indeed very good, but the Hong Kong business community is all real estate and financial giants, and they are probably not interested in the Science Industrial Park."
Li Zetian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, then cooperate with the universities in Hong Kong, they must be very interested. As long as the British Hong Kong government is willing to grant land, even if we build it ourselves! There will be more and more companies under my name. In the future, a branch will be opened in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has many famous schools, such as the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which are ranked in the top 10 universities in Asia, and the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology are ranked in the top 30 universities in the world. The Chinese University of Hong Kong ranks among the top 50 universities in the world. In addition to these three universities, there are many well-known universities in Hong Kong, which shows that Hong Kong is full of talents. Unfortunately, there are no good technology companies in Hong Kong, and many people go abroad to work. I If a science industrial park is established, these talents can be absorbed into my enterprise!!!”
As he talked, Li Zetian felt as if all the talents in Hong Kong had been caught up in the net, and he had been swept away by himself.
Therefore, on the same day, Li Zetian and Li Chengzhi invited all universities in Hong Kong to discuss the plan.
These universities still gave Li Zetian a lot of face. At 9 o'clock the next day, the principals of the major schools rushed to Zhetian University for a meeting. For a time, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong.
At the meeting, Li Zetian took the stage and told the benefits of "industry-university-research" to the development of schools, enterprises and the whole of Hong Kong, and called on everyone to join hands with the British Hong Kong government to request the establishment of the Hong Kong Science Industrial Park. Li Zetian promised everyone that Microsoft, Intel, Fire Flamingo Company, Netflix Company, Galaxy Network Company, Sun Computer Systems Company, Genentech Company and Roche Pharmaceutical Company will all settle in the Science Industrial Park, and cooperate with the hospital. There are opportunities to display talents and learning, improve the quality of university teaching, and allow schools and students to benefit from it, and at the same time allow companies to speed up research and development at a lower cost, mutual benefit!
This kind of good deeds that are beneficial and harmless, of course, the major schools agree. Even if an agreement was reached at the meeting, the Zhetian Science and Industrial Park Alliance was formed to put pressure on the British Hong Kong government with the power of the group.
