In the afternoon, Li Guangyu made a special trip to the Government House to communicate with him about the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. He also negotiated with him about the construction of Kangxin Hospital and Starlight School Xiangjiang on Xiangjiang Island.
Since the senior executives of the Li Group basically work and live on Xiangjiang Island, the distance to Tianshuiwei is too far. After Li Guangyu establishes branches and branch schools here, he will be able to better serve the senior executives and employees of the group and they will not need to have
When you are seriously ill, choose Sanatorium and Hospital.
If there is any problem with the group's senior management, it will be much more convenient to recuperate here instead of having to go to remote Tianshuiwei.
The British economy is still in a weak predicament. Although the government is thinking about reform, it has not made much progress. Now it is very necessary for external funds to enter and cooperate with the government's reforms so that the British mainland can get out of the current predicament.
As Xiangjiang is currently the third largest financial center in the world, second only to New York and London, the British government naturally hopes that Xiangjiang Capital can invest in the UK to change their current predicament.
The Xiangjiang Li Group is the one they hope to win over. In the past few years, both the Bentley Group and the British Telecom Group have developed very well, creating many jobs for the British and bringing good tax revenue to the British government, which has promoted the
Economic development in Britain.
Therefore, even though Li Guangyu continues to increase investment in mainland China, the Xiangjiang government has not taken any restrictive actions against the Li Group.
In Youde's office, Li Guangyu first communicated with him about the construction issues of Kangxin Hospital and Starlight School, and put the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes to the end.
Youde is very supportive of Li Guangyu's plan to build hospitals and schools on Xiangjiang Island. The number of citizens in Xiangjiang has increased very rapidly in recent years. Although some people have chosen to immigrate, the total population of Xiangjiang is constantly rising, which has led to the shortage of degrees and medical resources in Xiangjiang.
Very nervous.
Li Guangyu is willing to build schools and hospitals on Xiangjiang Island, which can effectively alleviate the current situation and is very beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang.
Youde smiled and said, "Li Sheng, I will arrange for communication and coordination with you in this regard so that your hospital and school can start construction as soon as possible. The current land price in Xiangjiang is relatively low, so you can save a lot of costs in this regard."
At present, the land price in Xiangjiang has been affected by the property market and has dropped to the lowest point since the 1980s. The main income of the Xiangjiang government comes from this aspect. Youde naturally hopes that after Li Guangyu's establishment, he can drive the appreciation of surrounding land. He is very happy to do so.
Cooperate with Li Guangyu to complete the construction in this area.
Li Guangyu is also aware of Youde's plan. Currently, the property market in Xiangjiang is in a sideways market. Originally, Li Guangyu and his colleagues collectively entered the market and there was a small increase. However, after Li Guangyu and his colleagues completed the acquisition, the price fell back soon.
There are many reasons for this. If you want the property market to be positive now, you can only hope for better news to come out, otherwise it may continue like this, and you have to make sure that no bad news comes out.
The hottest land right now is in the Tin Shui Wai area. The construction of several universities there, the expansion of the Lee Group Industrial Park, and the joint development of the two major consortiums have made that area the focus of Xiangjiang.
At present, the land price in Tin Shui Wai has long exceeded that in the Sham Shui Wai area, and the price is close to that in Kowloon City, attracting the attention of many investors.
Just in the middle of last month, Youde proposed to build the southern area of Tianshuiwei, which is adjacent to the Lee Group Phoenix Mobile and some research institutions, into a high-tech park in Hong Kong to promote the development of high-tech industries in Hong Kong.
This has even made some businessmen in Xiangjiang flock to it, hoping to take the lead in the Tin Shui Wai area.
After all, there is a university town that has begun to take shape, with three universities that have been put into use or under construction, and a huge Li's Industrial Park. Now the government intends to build a Xiangjiang high-tech park. The future development is unlimited, and now everyone hopes to get a share of it.
soup.
Li Guangyu said to Youde, "Governor, sir, you are relatively clear about the current situation. Some things are irreversible. If the Hong Kong dollar note-issuing authority allows us to enter, it will not be a bad thing for everyone. What do you think?"
Youde is under a lot of pressure on this matter these days. This is not the first time I have heard about this issue. Now the Xiangjiang Huazi family hopes that the Bank of Hong Kong will have the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes very strongly. Whether it is Lee Shau Kee or Zheng Yutong and others,
I discussed this issue with him and it made him very difficult to make a decision.
Youde also knows that in the future, the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes cannot be exclusive to HSBC and Standard Chartered, and the rights and interests will definitely be divided. It would not be a bad thing to let Hong Kong Bank come in at this time.
However, in this regard, there is still debate in England, and some conservatives still have illusions and want to have this thing firmly in their own hands, so they have not approved this request for a long time.
"Li Sheng, you also know that I cannot make the full decision on this matter. Some issues still need to be discussed and decided locally. I can only be an executor. I personally welcome the Bank of Hong Kong to have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.
This can also make the financial situation in Xiangjiang more stable. This matter also requires you all to be active in London, and maybe there is some hope."
Youde estimated that the government was preparing to negotiate terms with the Lee Consortium again, just like Xiangjiang Airlines. Only by allowing the Lee Consortium to invest in England would they be given the power to develop in this area.
The right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes is more important this time. The current economic development situation in the mainland is not good. This time, it is estimated that the Lee Group and the Hong Kong Group will not let this right be obtained.
Li Guangyu was also speechless about what Youde said. This matter was originally a matter for Xiangjiang. According to the procedures, Xiangjiang could make its own decision. Unfortunately, the procedure would not go through without London's consent.
Li Guangyu said, "Mr. Governor, we will carry out activities on this matter ourselves, and I hope you can also make a suggestion to the superiors. After all, the development and stability of Hong Kong's financial industry needs everyone to work together to maintain it. Only HSBC and Standard Chartered can control the issuance of Hong Kong dollar notes."
It is not conducive to the economic development of Xiangjiang and the stability of Xiangjiang's financial situation."
Youde was a little speechless at Li Guangyu's words. He wanted the rights to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, and he made his case so high-sounding, as if the Bank of Hong Kong had the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. The financial situation and economic development in Hong Kong would be better than they are now.
Very good.
The two major banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered, monopolize the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes. Li Guangyu seems to be the main culprit affecting Hong Kong's economic development and financial stability. This is too shameless.
Youde said, "Li Sheng, over the past few decades, the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes has been controlled by the two major banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered. Hong Kong's economy and finance have made great progress and have made great contributions to the social stability of Hong Kong. This is worth it."
All walks of life in Hong Kong affirm this, and I also hope that your media will not make some statements that are clearly offensive and slanderous, which will affect the stability of all walks of life in Hong Kong."
"Mr. Governor, please rest assured that our media will not smear and attack other companies for no reason. Over the years, our media group has reported on the facts and truthfully. As for the right to issue Hong Kong currency notes, which has always been monopolized by the two British banks, we
Chinese-funded enterprises really cannot feel at ease, which affects the investment and development of our Chinese-funded enterprises."
