Video Game Empire - Chapter 636
Among the population of 6 million in Hong Kong, the proportion of Chinese is more than 99%, but over the 150 years since Hong Kong was established as a port, the power has been firmly in the hands of less than one British.
It was not until the end of the 1970s that the Chinese class gradually began to make more and more voices. For example, the Hong Kong Police Force, which accounts for one-fifth of Hong Kong’s public staff, was born in 1978 with the first ever Chinese-assisted police commissioner.
The ranks of the Hong Kong police can be divided into officers, inspectors and constitutional committees from low to high. The constitutional committee level is considered a senior official in the Hong Kong police system. But the constitutional committee level can actually be subdivided into two parts, among which the superintendent, senior superintendent, and chief superintendent can only be regarded as department heads.
If you want to truly enter the leadership and decision-making level of the Hong Kong police department, you must at least be the Assistant Commissioner of Police, and above them are the Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, and the Commissioner of Police. For a long period of time, the highest rank of Chinese police officers will only be promoted to Chief Superintendent, and then they will hit the invisible ceiling!
And also in the late 1970s, Chinese capital also began to show the ambition to challenge the dominance of British capital in the Hong Kong economy. One of the most representative classic battles is Li Chaoren’s acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa in 1979, and Charter King’s annexation of Wharf in 1980.
But until the start of negotiations between China and the UK, Hong Kong was still firmly in the hands of the British, both politically and economically. For example, Situ Renzhi, the first Chinese police officer to become a high-ranking Assistant Commissioner of Police, was promoted in August 197, but actually retired in November of the same year.
Situ Renzhi’s position as Assistant Commissioner of Police is actually only a little over half a year. This is more like a piece of meat and bones that the British deliberately threw out “a thousand dollars to buy a horse” as a reward for their decades of conscientious police career! He does not really represent the beginning of the Chinese to gain a voice in Hong Kong politics!
In the same way, both Hutchison and Wharf’s mergers and acquisitions actually got the prior acquiescence of HSBC. And HSBC is the leader of the British capital in Hong Kong today. It belongs to the era of the four major foreign companies, Hutchison, Jardine, Swire and Wheelock, which are long gone.
But whether it is Li Chaoren or the charter king, they certainly dare not directly target HSBC. On the one hand, the financial resources are not enough, on the other hand, there is no way to start!
And because of Li Xuan’s appearance, Hong Kong now has a monster like the Oriental Group! As early as five or six years ago, the comprehensive strength of the Oriental Group has far surpassed other Chinese-funded groups in Hong Kong, as well as all British-funded groups including HSBC.
This is evident from Li Xuan’s actions to bring Standard Chartered and Landmark into his pocket, as if he were sweeping away leaves in the autumn wind. But in addition to its own one-third of an acre of land – the electronics industry, the Oriental Group does not seem to have aggressive ambitions.
This is because in the late 1980s, the half-century-long Cold War began to come to an end. The global political landscape has entered a new round of intense reshuffle. Hong Kong itself is in a special period before the return to the motherland. Under the influence of the global political climate, it is bound to become more turbulent. If Li Xuan and Dongfang Group intervene too early, it is easy to step on the thunder and become the focus of all conflicts.
On the other hand, Li Xuan’s layout for the future development of the Oriental Group has not yet been completed. If too much energy is wasted on a corner of Hong Kong, it is likely to drag down the global industrial layout of the Oriental Group!
But the situation is different now. Li Xuan’s development plan for the Dongfang Group for the next 30 years has basically taken shape. Focusing on the two core industries of Internet and mobile communications, and relying on key technologies such as semiconductors and liquid crystals, Dongfang Group has already been ahead of its competitors and has begun to seize the commanding heights of the next computer age and mobile phone age!
So Li Xuan now has free time to turn around and solve the problems of Hong Kong. The mainland is about to usher in a new round of reform and opening up. It was from the 1990s that China grew into the world’s second largest economy in just 20 years. If Li Xuan wants to better integrate into this emerging market that will soon be coveted by the world, the best way is to send a nomination certificate!
“The significance of a& joining our da camp is very significant. Not only did Nortel in Canada quickly follow up and take the initiative to contact us, but even the originally mighty Japanese changed their attitude!
(Japan Telephone and Telecommunications Corporation) As the only domestic telecom operator in Japan, its stock price has skyrocketed since its listing on the Tokyo stock market in 1987! It is said that in order to fully release the full value of the company, several major investment banks in Japan are encouraging the splitting of their sub-businesses in order to seek independent listing in the future!
And the first to be selected by Japanese bankers is its mobile business! From the beginning of paging business in 1968, to the analog cellular phone later, the accumulated number of mobile users is second only to the huge number of fixed phone users, which is a very good asset!
But now the mobile phone is being upgraded from analog cellular technology to digital technology. If the mobile business wants to further expand investors’ imagination of its appreciation, it must keep up with the technology trend and open digital mobile communication as soon as possible!
And the related technology in Japan is not yet mature, our da is naturally the best choice! From this point of view, we have huge common interests with the Japanese bankers!
I met Yoshihisa Tabuchi, President of Nomura Securities in Tokyo before, and he expressed his willingness to assist us in accelerating the promotion and the Japan Post Ministry’s recognition of the da standard! ” Coolillon said eloquently.
The Oriental Group regularly holds gatherings between various senior executives, and today’s gathering was convened by Li Xuan himself. The core executives of the Oriental Group in Hong Kong gathered in Li Xuan’s country villa in Shek O, the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island, to have an open-air barbecue together!
Of course, eating barbecue is not the main purpose of everyone. The real purpose of this gathering is to promote communication between executives. And the topic of everyone’s chat is naturally inseparable from their own business.
As the president of Huaxing Technology Company, a less well-known subsidiary of the Oriental Group, it was the first time in the past two years that Ke Lilun participated in such a high-level gathering within the group.
As Li Xuan’s earliest administrative assistant, Ke Lilun often attended such gatherings before. In fact, when Li Xuan initially stipulated that the executives should meet and communicate together on a regular basis, many of these activities were organized by his assistant.
However, since Li Xuan became the president of Huaxing Company from the vice president of Dongfang Commercial Company, such high-level gatherings began to be insulated from him. After all, the newly established Huaxing Company was too large to be ranked in the Eastern Group at all!
However, Huaxing Company, as an important part of Li Xuan’s entire mobile communication layout, plans to build it into one of the largest mobile phone manufacturers in the world. Its status within the Eastern Group naturally cannot remain unknown forever.
The i company is responsible for the implementation of the da standard in the United States, while the related work in Japan was handed over by Li Xuan to Huaxing Company led by Ke Lilun~www.mtlnovel.com~ Ke Lilun just returned to Hong Kong from Japan yesterday, and he has not had time to report to the senior management of the group. The major progress made by the bank just took this opportunity to report directly to Li Xuan! And as Li Xuan’s former assistant, he stood beside the group’s big bosses and talked eloquently, and everyone didn’t find it abrupt!
“Our group’s global expansion has reached the extreme. For example, it is difficult for the da standard to be implemented in countries like Japan, not because our technology is not advanced enough, but because we lack the support of the country!
Therefore, the addition of a& allows us to temporarily use the tiger skin of the United States as a fox, and many things can be solved! But we are a Hong Kong company after all, and American soldiers have no obligation to clear the way for us with guns!
Therefore, our next strategy should be adjusted appropriately, and strive to make more friends and less enemies! It’s not enough to just pull into our camp, isn’t it that we are their nemesis? Send someone to contact them and see if they are willing to turn enemies into friends, after all they are one of the largest telecom equipment manufacturers in Japan!
There are also companies like Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba, Sharp, these companies can also sit down and talk. We never thought about holding all da’s patents in our own hands. Many can be licensed as long as the price is right! “Li Xuan said with a smile.
However, he summoned a group of executives from the group today, not to talk about the mobile phone business! Li Xuan just bombarded the Hong Kong British authorities two days ago, which may not be in the best interests of the Oriental Group in the eyes of many people, so he is of course obliged to explain to his management.
