Although this incident has caused quite a stir, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings appears to be unscathed, and it is possible that a piece of flesh can be scraped from the legacy of the trio.
However, these are just superficial phenomena, and there are many connections behind the scenes. After all, such a Hong Kong umbrella holding company is a very dangerous existence for many people.
Although on the surface, this company cannot be sanctioned legally, such strange power has made many people sleepless and uneasy, and behind the scenes, crazy investigations have been launched.
It's just that the current business of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings is indeed very formal, and it is not easy to investigate clues from these businesses.
However, the headquarters has also issued relevant orders, asking its companies to be cautious during this period. The main purpose is to avoid the use of frame-up methods by the intelligence agencies of relevant countries.
Anyone who understands the content of the book "American Trap" knows that in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the French giant Alstom, the Eagle Sauce Intelligence Agency can use any means.
Compared with the intelligence agencies of various countries, the methods used by Zhao Yi are simply childish. Compared with their all-out tactics, he is as pure as a white rabbit.
Apart from telling Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings to strengthen internal management, they actually don't have much else to do. Currently they are on the defensive, while the intelligence agencies of various countries are in the dark and on the offensive.
But if it really angers him, he doesn't mind sending a few more people to God to enjoy the treatment in heaven. After all, being willing to help others is one of his good qualities, and he doesn't expect anything in return.
During this incident, Lin Hexia never showed up and stayed with Zhao Yi. She had no intention of going to Hong Kong to handle these matters. The executive vice president was left to help handle everything.
This behavior has actually caused many people to speculate. Some people believe that although Lin Hexia is still the president of this giant company, he has lost his previous power, which means he has been sidelined.
Otherwise, for such an important matter, no matter what, you should be interviewed by the media. Whether it is to clarify or win sympathy, it is an effective method.
However, except for the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company's statement, Lin Hexia did not express any opinions in any personal name, as if this matter had nothing to do with her personally.
Another part is that Lin Hexia has been afraid since she was attacked last time, because she only returned to the mainland at that time and has not returned to Hong Kong since then. In addition to promoting charity work in the mainland, she has not Make public appearances.
As a result, the bad media in Hong Kong were in a state of carnival. Although they did not dare to slander Lin Hexia with any words, they used the way of writing gossip news to constantly criticize Lin Hexia's affairs.
Fortunately, Lin Hexia was in the mainland and had no personal experience with this kind of atmosphere. Otherwise, she would probably get angry. However, Zhao Yi couldn't pretend that he didn't see it. His girlfriend was not something that cats and dogs could slander.
For these media, if there are obvious rumors, there is not much need to file a lawsuit. These media are eager to litigate, so that they can expand the circulation of their newspapers while the news is hot.
So he asked people to collect the black history of these media. It would be better if there were obvious violations of laws and disciplines, and then asked ATV to continuously broadcast these black histories to see who would win in the end and who would lose in the duel between media forces.
In addition, they are investigating who are the financial backers of these media outlets, and then preparing to adopt more bloody laws of the commercial jungle to deal a fatal blow to the financial backers behind them. No matter whether they are domestic or overseas, they are not going to let go.
The Clay Bodhisattva still has three parts of earth nature, not to mention humans. If the financial backers behind it are destroyed, they will not be able to survive for a long time with the help of these small media.
However, he also asked ATV to prepare to get involved in the print media business in Hong Kong and Macao. Even if it does not make money, it will squeeze the market space of these small media and make them unable to survive.
The method adopted is very simple, just use free distribution. Anyway, they have other income channels and do not need to rely on the income of newspapers and magazines to support themselves.
Moreover, these revenues are just a drop in the bucket for ATV. They use a targeted approach to distribute free newspapers and magazines to see if these targeted bad media can survive.
There are actually many such media outlets in Hong Kong, but I was too lazy to deal with them before. Now that they have bumped into him this time, I should take this opportunity to clean them up.
But this reminded him of other things, and he asked Lin Hexia, who was sitting next to him, "Does Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings have an education business?"
He asked this mainly because he thought of the bad things that happened in Hong Kong in his previous life. In sharp contrast to Hong Kong, Macau is. There is such a big difference between the two. The most important reason is education.
Therefore, in order to avoid the same problem in the future, the best way is to start getting involved in Hong Kong’s education from now on, so as to increase the sense of identity of Hong Kong young people.
"The schools in our new city are all schools we established ourselves and are under the name of the Hong Kong Housing Company. Apart from that, we have no involvement in the school education business in other areas." Lin Hexia stopped what she was doing and replied .
“I think this is not enough. Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings must be deeply involved in Hong Kong’s education. After so many years of colonial rule, things must be corrected as soon as possible and with greater intensity.
Otherwise, Hong Kong in the future may have problems that we don’t want to see. Have you read the teaching content of various schools in Hong Kong? "Zhao Yi finally asked.
"I don't have children, so what are you going to do if you're bored and read the school curriculum?" Lin Hexia gave him a blank look.
"It seems that we have neglected a lot of education in Hong Kong. It is not too late to start paying attention to it now. You should immediately ask the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company to set up a Hong Kong education company to specialize in this business." Zhao Yi said.
Seeing that he took this matter so seriously, Lin Hexia also thought about this issue. Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings previously only focused on the commercial field and did not pay too much attention to other aspects.
Even when the Hong Kong Housing Corporation improved the living environment of Hong Kong citizens, it was Zhao Yi who arranged it, followed by Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, without making much changes.
Moreover, education in Hong Kong is actually quite chaotic. There is no unified curriculum for each school, and there are some differences in content. The school-running institutions are also quite complex, with a large number of public schools and a large number of private schools.
However, these public schools receive education funds from the government and adopt free compulsory education. However, this only exempts students from tuition and miscellaneous fees. Students still need to pay for textbooks, and the curriculum must be formulated in accordance with the Hong Kong and British regulations. Government specific content.
“It’s just that the education pattern in Hong Kong has been formed and it is very difficult to change it. The reason why we are able to get involved is mainly because we built the new city.
Schools in other places are run by other institutions, and it is very difficult to intervene. Moreover, these schools are old schools, and citizens still trust their teaching quality. Lin Hexia said.
The problems mentioned by Lin Hexia are also real problems. Unless these schools can accept the acquisition by Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings, it will be really difficult to solve them.
It would be best if they could accept the acquisition, which would save Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings a lot of things, and they are not short of money, as long as they accept the acquisition.
“In this way, four strategies can be adopted to solve this matter:
The first is to contact various schools in Hong Kong to discuss acquisition matters. If these schools accept the acquisition, it does not matter if the price is higher. The main reason is that it can save a lot of trouble.
Second, if these schools do not accept acquisitions, then you will have to build a school next to them to compete with them for students and use your capital advantages to provide better services to students and strengthen your competitiveness.
Although some schools in Hong Kong say they are free, they are not completely free. You can launch completely free schools, just like in the mainland, and are also responsible for school lunches, stationery, etc., to further reduce the burden on parents.
In addition, you can also provide additional financial rewards to students with outstanding academic performance, attracting better students to your school and further weakening the competitiveness of other schools.
In addition to learning knowledge, schools also focus on the future of children. If they attract outstanding students to their own schools, they can further improve the learning atmosphere of their own schools, and at the same time, the data will be much better than other schools.
This will make other parents of students do everything possible to send their children to better schools. Over time, other schools will become less and less competitive.
The third is to expand the current nine-year compulsory education to 12 years of compulsory education. Although this is not officially stipulated by them, the government will not spend the money, and these vacancies will be filled by Hong Kong umbrella holding companies.
Moreover, it can be stipulated that the free high school education provided must be from your school. If not, free education will not be provided.
This can further make parents of students willing to send their children to your school, which can save them a lot of expenses and increase the overall income.
The fourth is to find the sponsors behind these schools that do not accept acquisitions and see if we can use other means to make the sponsors surrender. I allow Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings to expand the scope of the means it can use, as long as the purpose is achieved. "
In the past, Hong Kong umbrella holding companies were very rule-abiding, generally following commercial principles, and their methods were reasonable and legal, with almost no dirty tricks being used.
In order to achieve his goal as quickly as possible this time, Zhao Yi actually authorized the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company to use more means to make the other party surrender. This is the first of its kind.
But he doesn't care, as long as the ending is handled cleanly and no one gets caught. Sometimes, it's difficult for a gentleman to solve a problem, but it's really easy to achieve the goal with a dirty trick.
"Even if this problem is solved, there is still a big gap, that is higher education. Hong Kong's higher education. I think the situation will not be too different from the compulsory education below." Lin Hexia said.
Hearing what Lin Hexia said, Zhao nodded and agreed. Previously, he only paid attention to domestic education issues, and devoted a lot of thought to both compulsory education and higher education.
However, too much has been ignored about the educational problems in Hong Kong and Macao. In fact, solving these problems in them is much simpler than in the mainland. After all, in a place as big as a palm, no matter how complicated it can be.
Since such a problem may also exist in the field of higher education, let’s solve this problem.
It is to let the Hong Kong education company establish an institution of higher learning. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in the previous life was established in 1991. We might as well let them establish the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in advance.
Moreover, the Hong Kong Housing Company owns a large area of land on Lantau Island. Most of the previously developed land was in Yuen Long District. This area has not been greatly developed, and it happened to be used for the construction of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
"In this way, after you ask Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings to establish a Hong Kong education company focusing on the education field, it will directly establish a Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in southeastern Lantau Island, which is a private university."
This place is large enough and far away from the city, allowing school teachers and students to study with peace of mind. More importantly, this place is currently in the hands of the Hong Kong Housing Corporation.
As for the original site of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it was originally a camp for the British army. Later, after signing a return agreement with China, some British troops withdrew, leaving an open space.
In order to further absorb the funds of the Hong Kong Housing Company, the Hong Kong government sold this land to the Hong Kong Housing Company, but the area of the land was not particularly large.
With Zhao Yi's character, establishing a higher education institution is definitely not a piece of cake. Just like how he established Tianwen University, both the campus area and the enrollment scale need to be of a certain scale.
Obviously, Lantau Island is much larger than the abandoned military camp in Clear Water Bay. In its previous life, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology only covered an area of 900 acres.
Hong Kong Disneyland covers an area of 126 hectares. If land reclamation is carried out, the area will be even larger, which meets his requirements for the address of a higher education institution.
"As for how to operate this university, you can invite Chinese education companies to participate. They still have rich experience in this area and can provide you with a lot of guidance." Zhao Yi said.
When Lin Hexia heard what he said, she nodded and agreed. Although it is not easy to establish an institution of higher learning, with the strong financial resources of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings, it still has a high success rate.
In addition to financial resources, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings has unparalleled resources in Hong Kong and Macao. As long as it gives priority to recruit students who graduate from this university, it can beat other institutions of higher learning.
When students go to college, the purpose of most of them is to get a good job. As for other high-level goals, although there are many such people, the number is definitely not large.
Obviously, as long as you attend the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, you are taking a shortcut to the south. Naturally, you can attract more outstanding students to join it, and the quality of the students will be much higher than that of other schools.
If an institution of higher learning wants to develop well, in addition to excellent teachers, the source of students is also an important factor. Only excellent sources of students can make the school prosperous.
In the previous life, in 1986, the Preparatory Committee of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was established with the purpose of cooperating with Hong Kong's economic transformation. However, in this life, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation has acquired almost all the land in Hong Kong.
If you want to do anything now, as long as you need to use land, you have to ask for the approval of the Hong Kong Housing Corporation, which restricts the establishment of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
After all, if you want to build a university, you need a lot of area. Without the nod of the Hong Kong Housing Corporation, it will naturally not be possible. This reflects the influence of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings.
At that time, the Hong Kong government had just fought with the Hong Kong Housing Corporation and lost. The relationship between the two parties was very tense. It was obvious that they did not want to sue the Hong Kong Housing Corporation at this time, so they did not mention this matter.
Now Zhao Yi proposes to establish the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which can be regarded as bringing the original deviation back to the original track, but changing from the previous public university to the current private university.
"In addition to paying attention to education in Hong Kong, we should also pay attention to Macau. We hope to take the education of Hong Kong and Macao into our hands. In addition to teaching knowledge, it is more important to carry out patriotic education." Zhao Yi said.
In fact, the gentry in Macau have already done a lot of work in this area. He said this mainly to emphasize that Lin Hexia should pay attention to this aspect.
Since Zhao Yi had decided to do this, Lin Hexia did not waste time and directly issued the relevant orders to the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company and asked them to execute them in accordance with these orders.
After receiving the order, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company immediately announced the establishment of a company focusing on the education field, called Hong Kong Education Company.
Everyone didn't think there was anything strange about this. After all, they had business in this area before. Everyone thought they were just integrating the previous education business and didn't think too much about it.
But the news announced later is more concerning, that is, the construction of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on Lantau Island, focusing on cultivating high-tech talents for Hong Kong and helping Hong Kong achieve its economic transformation needs.
This is surprising enough. After all, it is not that easy to establish a university. In addition to money, you must also have a lot of educational resources to accomplish this.
Obviously, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings has made great determination for this. The initial capital for the establishment of the school is as high as HK$10 billion, and a certain amount of funds will be invested in the future to meet the school's high-quality teaching needs.
Moreover, by the middle of 1990, the school's hardware facilities will be completed and enrollment will begin, so time is very tight.
No one doubts whether Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings can afford the money, but what they are more skeptical about is how they can build teaching staff in such a short period of time.
Without sufficient teaching staff and high-level research professors, so-called science and technology universities may eventually become a laughing stock. Everyone knows this. (End of chapter)
