Video Game Empire - Chapter 637

After a company has developed to the extreme in its own field, in order to continue its rapid growth, it is bound to expand into other fields.

For example, Dongfang Group initially started with electronic game machines such as arcade machines and handheld game consoles, and then entered the semiconductor chip and personal computer industry, and then gradually expanded into the fields of liquid crystal, Internet, and mobile communications.

But Li Xuan has always been against cross-field diversification! Because the energy and resources of any company are limited, if the tentacles are extended too long, it is easy to cause energy dispersion and drag down the development of the original main business. So don’t look at Dongfang Group’s current front seems to be very long, but in fact it has only been spinning in the electronics industry!

The only exception to this may be the layout of the Oriental Group in Hong Kong. In addition to the investments related to the electronics industry, the other investments made by Dongfang Group and Li Xuan in Hong Kong are also not to be underestimated.

For example, Jiahua Group, the largest financial group in Hong Kong, including two banks, a securities company, and a credit rating agency. There is also the Asia Entertainment Group, the largest media group in Hong Kong, including three newspapers, a TV station, and a film company.

Of course, Li Xuan’s purpose of diversifying his investments in Hong Kong is not to maximize profits for himself. When it comes to the most profitable industry in Hong Kong, the real estate industry is definitely at the forefront. Nearly half of the top 20 richest people in Hong Kong announced by the Hong Kong Economic Journal not long ago are owners of real estate companies!

But Li Xuan’s subordinates just don’t have any real estate company that ranks first! Of course, he is not without strength. You must know that one of the most high-quality assets of the Jardine Group, the Landmark Company, was forcibly acquired by Li Xuan! However, after Li Xuan won the real estate giant with the reputation of “Central Land King”, he personally dismembered it and transferred most of its assets to other Chinese real estate developers.

There are two main directions Li Xuan is trying to penetrate in Hong Kong, namely finance and media. If you control the financial industry, you will choke the throat of Hong Kong’s economy, and if you control the media industry, you will be able to compete for the dominance of Hong Kong’s public opinion. These two fields are also the key industries that can best enhance Li Xuan’s influence on the whole society of Hong Kong!

“Some of my personal remarks in recent days have aroused discussions in the whole Hong Kong society. As the boss of the Oriental Group, my words and deeds not only represent myself, but also directly affect the public’s opinion of the entire group!

All of you here are the core backbones of the group. The company can achieve today’s achievements without the hard work and dedication of all of you, so I feel it is necessary to share my thoughts with you! “

Li Xuan deliberately pulled the core management of the Oriental Group from the urban area to Shek O, the easternmost corner of Hong Kong Island, to blow the sea breeze. Naturally, there is something important to discuss! After everyone had eaten and drank, they scattered around Li Xuan, and Li Xuan also began to point out the original intention of this gathering.

“The current problems in Hong Kong can be summed up in one sentence, the British are not ready to let go! According to the reliable information I have obtained, Downing Street’s dissatisfaction with Wilson is on the rise, and he can still be in the position of Governor. How long it will take is already unknown!

The most fundamental reason for Wilson’s unstable position is that the London side believes that his position on many issues is too weak. And once he steps down, the successor sent by Downing Street to Hong Kong will definitely be a more difficult hawk!

Some of you may think that my previous remarks are a bit extreme, and it is easy for the Hong Kong government authorities to directly target us! In the process of Sino-British wrestling, we choose to have both sides in order to maximize our own interests! This is also the mainstream practice in the Hong Kong business community, but I think it is a fallacy! “

Having said this, Li Xuan glanced around and found that many people frowned slightly, obviously not understanding or agreeing with his point of view. This is also the reason why Li Xuan specially called everyone here today. If the people in him do not agree with his ideas, how can Li Xuan create a trend in the whole of Hong Kong and Kowloon!

“Our group’s appeal is actually very simple. The more stable and prosperous Hong Kong is, the greater the benefits we will get from it! On the contrary, if Hong Kong falls into chaos, it will inevitably slow down the development of our Oriental Group!

For example, the present is the most typical example! Hong Kong has recently experienced another surge of immigration, which has led to instability in the military within our group. Applications for work overseas began to rise rapidly, and some more extreme people simply chose to resign and leave in order to immigrate as soon as possible!

So, who is the one between China and the UK who really hope that Hong Kong can be stabilized as soon as possible? The answer is actually quite obvious!

Because no matter how splendid the pearl of Hong Kong is in the future, it will never be able to be inlaid back into the queen’s crown! And if Hong Kong becomes a mess in the future, it will just set off the wise rule before the British Empire!

So who is our true friend and who is our inevitable enemy, everyone should know at a glance! “Li Xuan analyzed slowly.

Although he thoroughly analyzed the problem, the frowns on many people’s foreheads did not ease. Li Xuan didn’t care, and continued to analyze on his own.

“You may also worry that the United Kingdom is still the ruler of Hong Kong after all. If we directly fight against it, we will definitely be hindered in all aspects, which is not the case for the wise! It is better to take a step back for a while, anyway, the British left Only seven years left!

But the crux of the matter is that seven years is too long for the Oriental Group, we really can’t wait! As early as 15 years ago, Mr. Moore of Intel made a very accurate judgment on the entire electronics industry. Our development cycle is only 18 months!

Seven years is enough to upgrade the electronics industry five times! Everyone may wish to look back and think about the gap between the Oriental Group seven years ago and us now! It is precisely because of the rapid growth of Dongfang Group in the past seven years that it supports our huge investment in scientific research.

The resulting scientific research achievements have not only further consolidated the Group’s advantages in the fields of semiconductors, personal computers, video games, etc., but have also successfully given us a head start in emerging fields such as LCD, Internet, and mobile communications! “

When Li Xuan said this, a look of firmness flashed in the eyes of many people! Taking Hong Kong as the basic foothold is the fundamental policy of the Oriental Group that has always been very clear!

Despite the fact that the North American market has always been the most important single market of the Oriental Group, and the investment of the Oriental Group in the United States is also very large, but every executive of the Oriental Group is very clear that they are not serving an American company!

In Ma Liushui, Shatin, New Territories, the number of scientific research buildings built along Tai Po Road has increased to 16, and the total number of scientific research personnel it accommodates has exceeded 10,000. The total number of teachers and students in the school.

In addition to its R&D headquarters in Hong Kong, the Oriental Research Institute has nearly 10 research centers in Asia, Europe and North America. But the total number of scientific researchers in all these overseas research centers is only 5,000.

What’s more, most of the core technologies that the Oriental Group is proud of were born in the Hong Kong headquarters of the Oriental Research Institute. So that in the past ten years, Hong Kong has become a research center of global attention, and even with the two universities of CUHK and HKU, their rankings among global universities have also soared!

“Hong Kong cannot become a stumbling block that hinders the rapid growth of the Oriental Group. Even if it can continue to maintain prosperity, it must be a prosperity that is in the interests of the Oriental Group! So what is the development path that Hong Kong should choose and that is in line with our interests?

At least the practice of inflating the asset bubble by pushing up housing prices is definitely not the result I want to see! Our Oriental Group is willing to give our employees the highest wages and benefits in Hong Kong, so that they can simultaneously share the huge value dividends created by the rapid development of Oriental Group!

But if all this money enters the pockets of real estate developers and the government through soaring housing prices and high living costs, then what is the point of these costs we pay!

And if we want Hong Kong to embark on the road of development we want, waiting is definitely not enough! We need to fight for the right to speak in Hong Kong, and all these powers are now in the hands of the British Hong Kong authorities!

Therefore, unless the authorities are willing to respect our opinions, the contradiction between us and them cannot be reconciled at all! However, based on the experience of the past few years, the attention of the Hong Kong government has obviously never been placed on the industry in Hong Kong! “

Li Xuan said that he has made no secret of his ambitions. He is preparing to compete with the British Hong Kong authorities for the right to speak in Hong Kong! But how could the British Hong Kong government agree to give up control over Hong Kong in advance, so Li Xuan never thought that he could easily reconcile!

In fact, on the second day after Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong from the United States~www.mtlnovel.com~, he received a dinner invitation from the Hong Kong Governor’s Office. However, Li Xuan declined on the grounds of jet lag, but he turned around and went to Zhongda University to talk nonsense again. This slap in the face was very naked!

The dissatisfaction of the British Hong Kong authorities with Li Xuan must have reached a very high level. It’s just that they are intimidated by Li Xuan’s huge influence in Hong Kong, so it’s not good to take revenge too blatantly!

This also gives Li Xuan more time to prepare more fully. After all, the Oriental Group alone cannot reach the point of covering the sky in Hong Kong, and he needs to win over more allies!

The real estate industry is undoubtedly the second largest power group in the Hong Kong economy, apart from the electronics industry headed by the Oriental Group! Previously, Li Xuan has forced Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong to take the lead and organize colleagues in the Hong Kong real estate industry to propose to the Hong Kong government and the mainland government, hoping to increase the annual land supply area in Hong Kong!

The increase in land supply will naturally greatly ease the current situation of oversupply in Hong Kong’s real estate industry for many years, thereby restraining the excessive growth of housing prices! But this is actually cutting meat from real estate developers to feed back ordinary consumers with housing needs!

If it wasn’t for Li Xuan forcing him to start a new business, Li Jiacheng and others would actually be reluctant to advance this matter! And if Li Xuan is not going to push the Chinese real estate developers to their opposite, he needs to compensate them with additional benefits!

It is naturally impossible for the Oriental Group to use its own interests to make up for the losses of Li Jiacheng and others, but Li Xuan has already chosen an excellent compensation plan!
