Huo Yingdong no longer worries about this. The most important thing for him today is to understand some of Li Guangyu's views on Xiangjiang and Li Guangyu's plan for Bentley Island. The area there is quite large, covering a full thirteen square kilometers. Only Li Guangyu
The consortium is willing to spend money, and hundreds of thousands of people living there will not be a problem.
Although there is no human habitation on it, the population is large, and fresh water resources are scarce, but Huo Yingdong believes that the Li Group can solve this problem.
Moreover, the tax name there belongs to Zhang Ziyu, because it was given to the Li Consortium by England, but it was just in the name of Zhang Ziyu. Now the island has been subleased to the Li Consortium, with a lease term of 999 years and a rent of 1
British pounds, and all proceeds from the island belong to the Lee Consortium.
This also makes the taxation belong to the Li Group in disguise. Will the Li Group change the registration place of the major groups to Bentley Island? This is also an issue that Huo Yingdong is very concerned about. Once the Li Group changes the registration place of Xiangjiang enterprises,
Changes will definitely cause shock in the Hong Kong financial market.
Huo Yingdong believed that Ying Lun had no good intentions in sending an island like Li's Consortium to the Li Family Group at such a period, because the island had a fairly large area and could nominally establish various departments and agencies, and these departments and agencies were unified under the management of Zhang Ziyu.
Ying Lun is simply stimulating Li Guangyu's inner desires. As long as Li Guangyu is willing, he can go there and become a local emperor.
According to the information obtained by Huo Yingdong, Bentley Island is building a port and airport. In the future, Bentley Island will definitely be an important area for the Lee Group.
He did not go around in circles with Li Guangyu, but went directly to the topic and said to Li Guangyu: "Sheng Li, since the joint statement on Hong Kong was issued, Hong Kong's economy has developed very rapidly, and the Hang Seng Index has also climbed to new highs, which fully illustrates the achievements and achievements of Hong Kong's development.
Potential, I wonder what you think of the future of Xiangjiang?"
"I have always said that, and I have always done that. Since Huo Sheng asked again today, I will elaborate on my point of view.
I grew up in Xiangjiang, and I firmly believe that Xiangjiang will have great prospects in the future. Especially in the past few years, Xiangjiang's education has been greatly improved. Xiangjiang's high-tech industries have developed rapidly, which has prevented the hollowing out of Xiangjiang's industry. The housing prices in Xiangjiang have been well suppressed.
, Xiangjiang medical care has also made great progress, and Xiangjiang finance is booming.
I am very optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang, and my industries will unswervingly be based in Xiangjiang and develop to various places."
Huo Yingdong knew that Li Guangyu had made great contributions to Xiangjiang's current good situation. If Li Guangyu hadn't established the Phoenix Group Gaming Group and jointly established a high-tech industry incubator with the Xiangjiang Bank Consortium, Xiangjiang would have grown in semiconductor and
The high-tech industries dominated by the Internet industry are almost blank.
The reason why housing prices in Xiangjiang have been suppressed over the years has something to do with Li Guangyu and his allies. This is also the reason why some owners and leaders at the real estate construction chamber meeting at the beginning of the year wanted to formulate rules to restrict Li Guangyu.
In recent years, the Li Group and its allies have developed too many properties, and the prices are relatively low. This has also prevented the housing prices in Xiangjiang from rising rapidly.
You must know that Li Guangyu and others are very terrible in their development. They usually develop in a two-year cycle, and tens of thousands of housing units are released at one time. The demand in Xiangjiang is enough to meet the demand of Xiangjiang. Those who want high prices can only spend the money on themselves.
in hand.
Needless to say about education, the Li Group and its allies now have more institutions of higher learning than the government, and the people who graduate from these schools are more in line with Xiangjiang’s development needs.
In this regard, both he and the mainland's senior management admire Li Guangyu's actions. This shows that Li Guangyu is not only a businessman, but also an entrepreneur with a strong sense of social responsibility.
If there were no Bentley Island, the political research laboratory, and the special operations team of nearly 500 people, they would not have anything to worry about. However, with these things in place, they had to consider some issues more.
He said aloud: "Li Sheng, as far as I know, you are developing Bentley Island in the Indian Ocean near the Maldives. I wonder what your plans are for this island?"
Li Guangyu knew that it was not easy for Huo Yingdong to invite him to have afternoon tea. It turned out that he was here for Bentley Island.
Li Guangyu specially discussed the development plan of this island with the members of the executive team. Li Guangyu did not want to pay attention to what the British side had in mind for the time being.
According to the normal logic of businessmen, with their own territory, the taxes here belong to themselves. It is simply the natural place of registration for their own companies, which can reduce a lot of tax expenditures for the Li Group.
Unfortunately, Li Guangyu has no such plan for the time being. He will only transfer a few funds from Bermuda to Bentley Island. As for major companies, he has no idea of changing the place of registration.
Although these companies will pay some taxes, they can also increase their influence in these areas and receive preferential policy treatment.
Moreover, the taxes here in Xiangjiang are relatively very low, and the restrictions on enterprises are reduced. Li Guangyu does not need to choose to change the place of registration just for the tax every year, which will only outweigh the gains.
Li Guangyu said: "It seems that Huo Sheng is very well-informed. The current name of the island is also the British Government. Only our senior officials, Wheelock Shipping Company and the people who built the island know it. I didn't expect Huo Sheng to also know this.
Know very well.
Please rest assured, as well as some of the people who have been paying close attention and concern to me, that Bentley Island intends to become an offshore center like Cayman and Bermuda.
And focusing on tourism, we are now stepping up the construction of airports and ports, and will also build resort hotels, townhouses, and a series of supporting facilities. Supplemented by the Hong Kong Exchange, offshore companies registered on Bentley Island can be listed.
I believe Bentley Island can become a prosperous island in the Indian Ocean."
At present, offshore companies in Cayman and Bermuda can be listed in Xiangjiang. Once Bentley Island also receives such treatment, the development of Bentley Island will be unlimited in the future.
You must know that the main market makers currently listed in Hong Kong are Bank of Hong Kong, Tianyu Investment Company, Sun Hung Kai Securities Company, Bank of East Asia, and Hong Kong Asian Commercial Bank. These are all owned by the Li Group or its allies. Some companies are interested in listing in Hong Kong.
Naturally, you will go to Bentley Island to register, so that you can have a better relationship with these market makers.
Hearing Li Guangyu's plan for Bentley Island, Huo Yingdong felt a lot more relieved. What he was most worried about was that Li Guangyu used Bentley Island as a restricted area for training of his security company. That would cause more problems, because no one would
I don't know what will be on the island.
Huo Yingdong knew that Donghua Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Li Group, was doing brisk business with Eastern Europe. Zhou Zhigang even flew to Vienna in person to discuss the technology acquisition and production equipment purchase of the petrochemical group with some people in Eastern Europe.
Eastern Europe is now willing to sell anything. The Li Consortium really needs some special equipment, and they definitely dare to sell it there. They don't care about Li Guangyu's identity at all, as long as the Li Consortium provides money or supplies.
In addition, the Li Group's own fleet can be shipped directly from Eastern Europe. They can transport some equipment to Bentley Island without anyone noticing. Moreover, many of the security companies are retired personnel from various countries. There may be no shortage of such people.
Talent.
Now Li Guangyu is planning to build this island as an offshore center and tourism, which shows that Li Guangyu has no such idea. After all, it is difficult for people to travel and it is difficult for an island to hide some big guys.
Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "I also believe that Bentley Island will become a prosperous and beautiful island under your construction. When you officially operate it, I will also go to enjoy the scenery of the Indian Ocean."
"When we put it into operation, I will definitely send the invitation to your house. I believe that you will be able to see a beautiful and prosperous scene by then."
