Taking into account the road conditions in the mainland, on the afternoon of the 30th, accompanied by Wu Junshuang, President of China Merchants Group, Li Jianhui and the senior management of the group took a luxury yacht borrowed from Li Guobao directly to Shekou.
For Wu Junshuang today, the biggest task is to accompany Li Jianhui and the top management of Huihong Group to arrive in Shekou safely.
Li Jianhui's trip to Shekou on such a day is of extremely great significance to both the mainland and Hong Kong.
As a right-winger, Li Jianhui chose to invest in the mainland at such a time and even entered the mainland personally, which will greatly affect the neutral and even right-wing families in Xiangjiang.
In particular, the Xinjian Clique controlled by Li Jianhui and its allies currently have great influence in Xiangjiang. I believe that with Li Jianhui's leadership, many small and medium-sized enterprises will choose to invest in Shekou.
The yacht left the dock and headed north quickly. Li Jianhui, Chen Yulian and others looked at the wide sea, feeling extremely uneasy in their hearts.
Especially Chen Yulian, the education she received since she was a child made her uneasy about entering this place. If it hadn't been for Li Jianhui going there in person, she would never have gone.
So much so that after boarding the yacht, she followed Li Jianhui closely. It seemed that only being around Li Jianhui could make her feel safe.
How come Li Jianhui, who grew up with Chen Yulian, doesn't understand the nervousness of the people around him.
He smiled and said: "Sister Yulian, after we stop working for the company, let's go see the Great Wall together, climb to the top of Mount Huashan, look at the beautiful grassland, and feel the snow falling thousands of miles in the north.
Eat specialties from all over the world.”
Chen Yulian naturally hopes to have a romantic trip with Li Jianhui, but she knows very well that Li Jianhui is not an ordinary person now, and his every move is watched by countless people.
Moreover, she knew that Li Jianhui was very ambitious. He dreamed of establishing a world-class consortium and wanted to compete with European, American, and Japanese consortiums. When Li Jianhui was really willing to put down his business, who knew it would be decades later, he would only be able to visit the natural scenery in the mainland.
I'm afraid it's a long time coming.
Wu Junshuang, who was not far away, said: "Li Sheng, Miss Chen, if you want to travel in the mainland in the near future, I suggest that it is better to travel in the city, where transportation and accommodation are more convenient, and it is safer.
Regardless of whether it is Huashan or other famous mountains, there is currently not much tourism development, various infrastructures are not equipped, and the safety risks are quite large."
Li Jianhui is naturally aware of some of the current situations in the mainland. The tourism industry here has just started, and local governments are quite financially strapped. There are very few funds that can be used to develop scenic spots, so that many provinces and cities can only focus on supporting infrastructure for relatively famous scenic spots.
.
Thinking of the huge benefits involved, Li Jianhui said: "Wu Sheng, I wonder if China Merchants Group has any intention of entering the tourism industry? Does the mainland's policy allow Xiangjiang Capital to enter this industry? I wonder if China Merchants Group is interested and appreciative of it.
Can we build a group joint venture to invest in this area?”
Not to mention Wu Junshuang, even Chen Yulian did not expect that Li Jianhui would think so fast. He was talking about traveling just now, and now he is talking about investment.
And in Chen Yulian’s view, investing in tourism in the mainland is definitely not a good investment in the short term.
Wu Junshuang also has no intention of entering the tourism industry at the moment. The China Merchants Group currently does not have enough funds to develop Shekou, so where is the money to waste on it.
However, he is very happy that Li Jianhui is interested in investing in tourism in the mainland, which proves that Li Jianhui is quite confident in the future development of the mainland.
He responded: "Li Sheng also knows the situation of our China Merchants Group. We currently have to use our funds wisely. Shekou is the focus of our group and we have no plans to enter other industries for the time being."
However, regarding Li Sheng’s intention to enter the development of domestic scenic spots, I will report it to the superiors, and I believe the superiors will give you a reply as soon as possible.”
Li Jianhui simply mentioned that he did not expect to enter this industry in a short time.
You must know that currently only Shekou can build factories with wholly foreign investment. Many issues need further study, and it is impossible to fully open it up at once.
Compared with this, Li Jianhui is actually more concerned about converting exports into domestic sales, which is of greater significance to the Xin Jian Department.
Currently, his subsidiaries Lane Crawford and Watsons are also trading with mainland import and export companies, and some home appliances, records, electronic products, etc. enter the mainland through their transactions.
The Bawang game console and even the Huihong arcade under the Huihong Group have also entered the mainland market through trading companies.
Li Jianhui now wants to take greater initiative and hopes that Huihong Group's arcade machines can bypass the import and export trading company and be sold directly in the mainland.
Faced with Li Jianhui's problems, Wu Junshuang said helplessly: "Li Sheng also knows that I can't have the final say on these things. At present, Shekou is mainly for foreign companies to establish export processing and production bases. All products can only be exported, not
For sale in the Mainland.
You will have a meeting with Secretary Zhong tonight, and you can communicate with him more then, maybe he can help you solve this problem."
After hearing this, Li Jianhui stopped talking about these topics. The Wu Junshuang he wanted couldn't make the decision at all. Many issues still required face-to-face communication with senior officials.
For example, in the film industry, Li Jianhui, who has memories of his past life, is very clear that Hong Kong was more prosperous in the 1980s and early 1990s, and then declined rapidly due to suppression and restrictions across Asia.
To change this situation, the main thing is to open up the mainland market. Only with a huge market can we support the sustainable development of Hong Kong's film and television industry.
The high-level leaders of Guangdong Province attach great importance to Li Jianhui and his party. When Li Jianhui stepped off the yacht, Zheng Huiqun, the director of the United Front Work Department of Guangdong Province, was introduced by the escort and cordially shook hands with Li Jianhui and his party, expressing a warm welcome to their arrival.
Then he walked side by side with Li Jianhui and said with a smile: "In the past two years, I have often heard some rumors about Mr. Li, especially Mr. Li's acquisition of Wheelock Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group, which completely broke the four major foreign banks' influence in the Hong Kong business community.
Its dominant position excites every son and daughter of China.
It’s just that I never had the opportunity to meet him before, but now that I have met him in person, he is indeed a young genius and a leader of the young generation in Hong Kong’s business community.”
"Minister Zheng is exaggerating. As our Chinese capital continues to rise, Wheelock and Hutchison Whampoa, two companies with many problems themselves, will still be acquired by other families, such as Global Shipping, Baosheng, and Cheung Kong, even without me.
Li Sheng et al.
In the past two years, I have only relied on good luck to earn a little bit of fame in Xiangjiang, but it is nothing compared to my predecessors."
Zheng Huiqun is naturally aware of some of Li Jianhui's industries. It is estimated that the market value of several major Xinjian groups has already surpassed HSBC and ranked first in Hong Kong. If this is a small matter, I am afraid there will be no major events in the Hong Kong business community.
On the way to the Shekou Guest House, the two had some discussions on the Xiangjiang issue, and generally both parties were quite satisfied.
Zheng Huiqun did not ask any questions that would embarrass Li Jianhui, and Li Jianhui responded quite appropriately.
