After the meeting, Zhao Yi came to Hong Kong with a secretary and several security personnel after arranging things in the mainland.
This time the matter was relatively important. He had to understand the situation as soon as possible and be ready to respond at any time. However, if he was in the mainland, there would be a delay in information and he would not be able to feel the atmosphere of the confrontation firsthand.
To be honest, Zhao Yi considers himself not a combative person. His biggest wish is "world peace". Everyone can live their lives happily without going through hardships. This is what he has been working towards. .
It's just that this battle actually made him slightly excited. This may be the nature of human beings as animals, or the nature of male animals.
After arriving in Hong Kong, because the villa on the top of Barker Road had not yet been completely built, his residence in Hong Kong was still Lin Hexia's apartment.
Now the entire floor where Lin Hexia lives has been purchased, and even the upper and lower floors have been purchased, and personnel from the Umbrella Security Company have been arranged to move in. This level of protection is considered to be very high in Hong Kong.
After the villa on the top of Barker Road is built and Lin Hexia moves there, the house here can be rented or sold. Anyway, even if the loss is then there will not be a lot of money. For this small amount of money, the umbrella holding company is still willing to bear it. .
After arriving in Hong Kong, Zhao Yi listened to Lin Hexia's brief report on the companies under the umbrella holding company. Generally speaking, all companies are running well. Hong Kong Time Cinema Company is still in a state of low profit. Based on this profitability, he wants to recover I don’t know how much it will cost until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
Hong Kong Telecom has developed quite smoothly in Southeast Asia. It has reached relevant cooperation agreements with almost all countries in Southeast Asia, except South Vietnam. At present, South Vietnam has not yet reformed and opened up, and Hong Kong Telecom has no chance to enter.
In addition to Southeast Asian countries, the Middle East countries are actively in contact with Hong Kong Telecom. Most of these countries have become quite wealthy due to the nationalization of oil resources in the past few years.
However, their technological level is very low, which results in the cooperation between Hong Kong Telecommunications Company and these countries hitting it off and each getting what they need.
The most troublesome ones at the moment are European and American countries. They are really able to keep their composure while conducting research and development on their own to see if they can break through the patent barriers of Hengtong Communications Company.
On the other hand, he is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He is prepared to survive the two-year exclusive agreement with Hong Kong Telecom Company and negotiate alone with Hengtong Communications Company.
Many countries in Europe are not rigidly monolithic. The reason why they are able to endure it now is because neighboring countries do not have such easy-to-use mobile communication services.
If there are some neighboring countries that provide such convenient mobile communication services, then their own citizens will urge their own countries to take measures as soon as possible.
After all, communication is a need of human nature, and everyone cannot refuse services that bring convenience to their lives.
So Zhao Yi asked Lin Hexia to tell He Pinyun not to stalemate with European countries. This would be of no benefit to anyone. Hong Kong Telecom must win one or two important countries in Europe.
It doesn't matter if you lose some interests at that time. As long as one or two countries are willing to cooperate, then their will to unite to resist will collapse.
ATV's development is still as rapid as before, and the speed has not slowed down much. Before, the signal did not cover the whole world. The TV channels that developed rapidly in Asia were still Chinese channels, and the main customer groups were Chinese groups in Southeast Asia.
Now ATV's signal has covered the world for a certain period of time, which has brought new breakthroughs to ATV's news timeliness.
After ATV launched three geosynchronous orbit communication satellites, it installed satellite communication modules on the computers of every reporter running news outside.
With the help of this communication module, they can send the news information obtained to ATV through satellite signals as soon as possible. ATV will quickly process the news information according to the importance of the news.
It is precisely because of this efficient news processing process that ATV is always able to broadcast important information as soon as possible.
In Western countries with developed commerce, this is equivalent to money. Whoever can obtain important news information as soon as possible can seek benefits for themselves within this time difference.
Therefore, the popularity of ATV's English channel in Western countries has been significantly improved. According to ATV's plan, channels in other languages will be added later based on market size, such as Spanish and Spanish, which are widely used around the world. French etc.
Of course, in the early stage, only one channel will be opened to test the market response. If the response is good and it has certain market potential, then a new channel in that language will be added. If the market response is mediocre, then no new channel in that language will be added. It's just more appropriate to do the current channel first.
Zhao Yiyi recognized ATV's work and expressed support for their development strategy. It seems that ATV's new president Liang Qingyan still has two skills.
Since taking office, we have not completely followed the rules, but have tried to expand our customer base while maintaining our original advantages.
According to later Internet thinking, it is to occupy the user's eyeball time. As long as it occupies more user eyeball time, the more benefits will be obtained.
Just like what Polaris does, it wants to occupy all of the user's family and personal entertainment time. This is why Polaris attaches so much importance to family entertainment plans and personal entertainment plans.
The Hong Kong Housing Company, a subsidiary of Umbrella Holdings, is the protagonist of this battle. According to Lin Hexia's report, during this period, the Hong Kong Housing Company basically focused on acquiring existing residential properties and commercial buildings.
Hong Kong housing companies entered the market a little late. Although they have gained something, they have not gained much. In the past few months, they have only spent a total of 10 billion yuan in acquisition funds. Good real estate projects have already been prepared. The capital acquisition is gone.
Hearing this, Zhao Yi felt that it was meaningless for the Hong Kong Housing Company to continue this kind of acquisition. It would be better for him to go to the northern New Territories to acquire rural land. Most of the land in the northern New Territories of Hong Kong is privately owned, and the Hong Kong government has no right. Management and buying and selling.
In later generations, these places were controlled by Hong Kong real estate consortiums and have never been effectively developed and utilized. The high housing prices in Hong Kong in previous generations can also be said to be artificially caused.
This is what Zhao Yi said at the Central Committee meeting. If we want Hong Kong to be stable, we must destroy the Hong Kong real estate consortium and eliminate them before they are fully developed. The cost of doing so is the minimum. It will be easy to be too big later if they grow bigger.
Also coming to Hong Kong on the same day as Zhao was Peter, the president of Sunflower Investment Company, because the funds for this operation needed to be provided by Sunflower Investment Company and also required the cooperation of HSBC Bank.
This all involves Sunflower Investment Company, so Zhao Yi asked Peter to come to Hong Kong and act together.
On the second day after arriving in Hong Kong, Zhao Yi met with Peter. The meeting place was Lin Hexia's residence. The less people knew about this operation, the better, and Lin Hexia's residence was a very good place.
After Peter came over, he checked out of the hotel in Hong Kong and moved next door to Lin Hexia's residence. Peter lived here during this time.
Zhao Yiyi said to Peter: "For this operation, we need about 100 billion US dollars in funds, and you will dispatch this funds to HSBC Bank.
Part of this operation will be paid in the name of the Hong Kong Housing Corporation's own funds, while the other part will be paid in the name of a loan from HSBC Bank. "
At first, Hong Kong housing companies would participate in land auctions with their own funds. The scale of such funds would not be large, which made the British Hong Kong government feel that it did not have very strong capital strength to "dispute" with itself.
When their own funds are "exhausted", "loans" from HSBC will give the British Hong Kong government the illusion that the Hong Kong Housing Company is short of funds, allowing them to firm up their plans to sell land.
This operation can go against the British Hong Kong government. Anyone with a brain will think that it must have been arranged by the north. However, they are relatively clear about the strength of the mainland and cannot invest too much money in it.
And Zhao Yi did this to strengthen their understanding in this regard and make the British Hong Kong government firmly believe that the final victory is definitely theirs.
Peter responded: “We have enough funds on our books and there will be no problem with funding for this operation, but our investment company’s investment in oil and minerals has peaked.
The benefits of investing funds in this area are not that great. Now the asset prices in this area have been much higher. We need another big investment direction. "
Zhao Yi had a premonition that such a day would come, but he didn't know it would happen so soon. In the final analysis, Sunflower Investment Company was too ruthless in making money.
Since Sunflower Investment Company entered the financial market, the benefits gained by global financial companies and individuals in the financial market have been much worse than before, and many of them have even sustained losses. The growth rate of the global financial market has been slower than in previous generations.
Sunflower Investment Company now has countless funds and investment companies in its hands. The number is in the tens of thousands. Only with so many shadow companies can they hide themselves behind the scenes and have not been discovered until now.
In order to manage and control such a complex system, Zhao Yi also specially developed a system for Sunflower Investment Company.
With its own communication satellites in the sky, and the satellite communications provided by the positioning and navigation system behind it, this system is playing an increasingly important role.
In other words, this system has used satellite communications to achieve global networking, and can grasp major financial market information in real time, while also knowing the account information it holds.
Coupled with Zhou Ling's forecast information, it is difficult for Sunflower Investment Company not to make a lot of money, but their profitability is hidden in a large number of shadow companies.
“Now that oil and mineral investment has peaked, invest excess funds into real estate in markets with economic growth potential.
For example, Japanese real estate and real estate in Southeast Asian countries have growth potential in the future. You can also invest appropriately in the real estate market in Western developed countries. However, I do not recommend large-scale investment. You can decide the details yourself. " Zhao Yi said.
No matter which country it is, the size of the country's property market must account for the majority of assets, and the property market's ability to maintain value is also good. It can be used as a good reservoir of funds, and it is also an asset that big capital is keen to purchase.
The growth rate of the Japanese real estate market in the 1980s was also amazing. If the operation is done well, the rate of return will be quite high.
Although the real estate market in Southeast Asia is not as crazy as Japan's, its growth rate is also quite astonishing. The Southeast Asian economy has developed very well during this period and will continue to do so for a long time to come.
However, this kind of economic growth that relies heavily on foreign capital has an unstable foundation and is easily targeted by international financial giants and international hot money. It will be difficult to avoid financial harvest when the time comes.
At that time, Zhao Yi needs to remind them to sell some assets in advance to reduce losses. (End of chapter)
