Brunei, with a small population and a single economic structure, does not have much confidence in Li Jianhui.
Although Brunei is currently a region and will become a normal country in a few years, its population is only over 190,000, while Li Jianhui has nearly 100,000 formal employees, and its economic strength is even greater than that of Brunei.
After nearly two hours of discussions between the two parties, Lane Crawford invested 20 million Hong Kong dollars to establish a local fishery company, and Xiangjiang Energy Group invested 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to jointly build the Yama Petroleum Company with Brunei.
It is mainly engaged in oil and gas exploration and mining as well as production and processing. Xiangjiang Energy Group holds 67% of the shares, and the Brunei government holds 33% of the shares with regional exploration rights and the land for establishing a production base in the Malay District.
In the next two days, Li Jianhui successively held discussions with senior officials from Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.
There are quite a few investment projects, especially companies such as Tesco Group, Whampoa Shipping, Wheelock Land, and Xiangjiang Airlines.
High-level officials from various countries were quite satisfied with this meeting, and each company obtained at least an investment agreement worth more than 2 billion.
In addition, Li Jianhui mentioned the establishment of a basketball league and a football league. Malaysia and Thailand are very interested in this and have expressed support for the two major leagues. As for Sin Chew, the Philippines and Indonesia, they expressed that they need to consider it.
Li Jianhui is not prepared to wait for everyone to agree before starting preparations. Now with the support of the top leaders of Malay and Thailand, plus the support of Baodao and Lisboa, it is enough to start a small league.
Li Jianhui directly handed over this matter to Su Jiangting, and strived to officially launch the two major leagues in October next year.
There are two basketball and football teams in Xiangjiang. The Xinjian Group will establish a basketball club and the Tesco Group will establish a football club. The other places will be temporarily given to other forces. If no one is willing, Li Guobao and Lei Juekun will be responsible.
The Lisboa side will be handed over to Haojiang Tourism and Entertainment Company and Xinhui Group. As for which clubs to establish respectively, it will be discussed by both parties.
Baodao has scheduled four branches each, Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Tainan. Su Jiangting needs to handle the details.
The Malay side has tentatively decided to have four teams each, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, and Ipoh. Berjaya Group occupies one quota, and Su Jiangting needs to find a way for the rest.
There are three branches each in Thailand, Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
In this way, there are 14 teams in the league, which is a little less. It is barely enough to play in one league.
Moreover, Li Jianhui is also planning to ask Su Jiangting to contact Japan and South Korea to see if they are interested in joining.
Football is called the Asian Professional Football League, or PFLA for short, and basketball is called the Asian Basketball Professional League, or ABA.
As the initiator, the headquarters of the two alliances are naturally located in Xiangjiang, and Su Jiangting temporarily serves as the director of the preparatory offices of the two alliances.
Su Jiangting has long been accustomed to Li Jianhui's behavior of only starting from the beginning and then passing the blame.
Fortunately, this matter is not too troublesome. As long as the local policies do not make it difficult, the league will be easily launched.
Although there are many poor people in this world, there is no shortage of rich people, and there are also many rich people who love sports. Just look at those people in Xiangjiang who are constantly burning money.
Li Jianhui is also ambitious and wants to build a league that can compete with the NBA and the Champions League, so he is in such trouble.
To have a big impact, not only are the major clubs within the league strong and competitive, but they also need a strong fan base.
The current situation is not bad, because of live TV technology and economic development issues in Asia, whether the NBA or the Champions League, their influence in Asia is not as strong as it would be in 20 or 30 years.
This gives the PFLA and ABA the opportunity to rise, especially when Southeast Asian and East Asian countries and regional TV stations start broadcasting live broadcasts of these two major leagues, which will definitely give them an advantage.
To be honest, the development of these two major leagues is of great benefit to various countries and regions. While cultivating talents for various countries, it also promotes local economic development.
As for the Philippines, Indonesia, and Sin Chew, they did not agree immediately. Li Jianhui estimated that there are still some people here who are obstructing them. The main target is not the two major alliances, but him, to reduce his influence in these places.
Especially in Sin Chew, some people regret that they have more advantages in Southeast Asia. They should have proposed organizing such an alliance to strengthen Sin Chew's influence in ASEAN.
As a result, Li Jianhui raised the issue, which further enhanced Xiangjiang's influence in ASEAN, which Sing Chew was not willing to see.
Sin Chew, which aspires to become the economic center of Southeast Asia, has always regarded Xiangjiang as its competitor. However, Xiangjiang's financial industry has developed rapidly in the past two years, and they are getting farther and farther away from Xiangjiang.
Xiangjiang's influence in ASEAN is also continuing to increase, especially Xin Jian's continued large-scale investment this year, which has made Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and other forces more optimistic about Xiangjiang. Many outstanding companies have placed Xiangjiang as the first choice for listing.
Several major exchanges.
The cultural influence of Xiangjiang is even more terrifying. In the past two years, Xiangjiang's movies, TV series, and records have swept across Southeast Asia. Speed, A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Best Partner, Five Lucky Stars, Cannonball Speed, and Happy Ghost's Summer Vacation all ranked in the top ten at the box office in various places this year.
among the list.
TV series such as "Shanghai on the Beach", "The Heroes of the Storm", "Feng Ming Qishan", "The Love of the Earth", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were broadcast on major TV stations in Southeast Asia and ranked first in the ratings during the same time period.
Records such as Tears of a Hero, Who Knows the Heart of a Prodigal, The Wind Keeps Blowing, Zero Hour Ten, No More Tears, Heart Debt, etc. can be heard in the streets and alleys of many cities in Southeast Asia.
Sin Chew feels quite powerless in this regard. It cannot catch up in terms of finance, nor can it win in terms of culture. In terms of economic growth, Xiangjiang is currently the leader of the Four Tigers.
Now their only advantage is the Strait of Malacca, which gives them an advantage in maritime trade and can become a material distribution center in Southeast Asia.
The senior officials of Xingzhou also hate the families in Xingzhou. They only know how to develop finance, real estate, hotels and other industries. No one is willing to invest huge sums of money like Li Jianhui to develop electronic semiconductor and computer hardware and software related industries.
This time, Sin Chew has also reached a number of cooperation projects with Xinjian Group, including investments from Wheelock Plaza, Golden Princess Cinemas, Xinjian Bank, Tesco Group, Huangpu Shipping Group and other enterprises.
These senior executives also hope that entering the Xinjian Department will force these internal enterprises to transform and upgrade and enter high-tech industries.
Of course, some high-level officials also have the idea of letting Li Jianhui immigrate to Sin Chew, and many people think that they have great opportunities. Although Xiangjiang is currently developing well, there is always a thorn in it.
All parties are watching the negotiations between Britain and the mainland. A peaceful solution is fine, but once major differences arise, turmoil will be inevitable.
As a country with a majority Chinese population, Sin Chew has a natural attraction to the Chinese. In particular, Sin Chew and Xiangjiang have many similarities. They have natural advantages in attracting Li Jianhui to Sin Chew.
