Three hundred and fiftieth chapters tempting bones
Because of the butterfly effect brought about by Li Jianhui, the Hong Kong stock market has already plummeted. In the previous life, the Hang Seng Index reached a historic high of 1,810 points this month no longer exists, and the stock market crash this month also does not exist.
However, some of the triggers that triggered the crash still exist. Governor Black held the first large-scale party this year on the first weekend of July, inviting well-known figures from Hong Kong including politics, business and academia.
Li Jianhui is already immune to some old clichés, but today some new things made him a little concerned.
The Legislative Council and the Executive Council of Hong Kong will expand the number of members. At the same time, the districts below Hong Kong will also establish parliaments on a trial basis. The number of members will be determined based on the population of each district at 1000:1, and the members will elect the chief executive of each district.
In order to avoid possible chaos caused by the reform, the government has used the five districts of Sai Kung, Sha Tin, Tai Po, North District and Yuen Long as pilot projects to accumulate experience and promote it in other districts in Hong Kong at an appropriate time.
This plan can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, because the Xin Jian Department in the five pilot districts has a strong influence in all areas except Shatin, and most people present turned their attention to Li Jianhui.
They wanted to know whether the Bryan government or even the London government had reached an agreement with the Tung Wah Association. Otherwise, how could they suddenly give Xiangjiang citizens the right to participate in politics, and also put the pilot in these districts.
Regarding the thoughts of these people, Li Jianhui also began to make calculations in his heart. He could guess some of the calculations of the Bryan government.
The five districts being piloted this time all belong to the New Territories, which are very different from Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The Bryan government took them out and engaged in this scheme, which is obviously preparing for the future.
To say how much power the districts have to establish district councils, in fact they don’t have much power. For example, policies regarding land, taxation, etc. are not decided by district agencies.
Although there are no rights, there are many benefits to using this thing, and it will be more convenient for enterprise development.
This is obviously a bone thrown by the Brian government to lure these people present, especially the personnel of the five major consortiums.
And this move is quite cruel. Looking at the expressions of these people present is enough to prove how fragrant this bone is.
Even if Li Jianhui knew the intentions of the Bryan government, he would actively participate in it for the benefit of himself and the Tung Wah Association.
After all, if Li Jianhui and Donghua don't fight over this matter, they will hand over the territory they have worked so hard to manage to others. The other major consortiums will not give up this opportunity.
Brian didn't care about the whispers at the scene. He took over what Xos said and said: "On the side of the unofficial members of the Executive Bureau, our government is temporarily preparing to add ten people.
It is planned to invite Mr. Li Jianhui, Mr. Li Guobao, Mr. Shen Bi, Mr. Bao Yugang, Mr. Li Zhaoji, Mr. Zheng Yutong, Mr. Li Jiacheng, Mr. Kadoorie, Mr. Chen Zangxi, and Mr. Stanley Ho.
We also invite ten people to the Legislative Council. We plan to invite Mr. Li Jianhui, Mr. Lei Jiekun, Mr. Guo Desheng, Mr. Qiu Degen, Mr. Standard Chartered, Mr. Cao Wenjin, Mr. Feng Jingxi, Mr. Shi Huai Ya, Mr. Newbikin, and Mr. Xu Shixun.
I sincerely hope that you can accept the government's invitation. You are the leaders of Hong Kong's economy, and you play a big role in the development of Hong Kong's economy.
As the nearly six million citizens of Hong Kong in the future, you also have the responsibility to provide advice and suggestions for the future development of Hong Kong and formulate better development plans for Hong Kong.
I hope you can give me a reply within three days. A meeting of the executive and legislative bureaus will be held next Thursday, and those who agree will officially become members of the two bureaus."
It can be said that Li Jianhui was pushed to the forefront of the party tonight. Not only the five pilot districts, but also the unofficial members of the Executive and Legislative Bureau were invited. He was the only one to receive two invitations.
As long as he is willing, next Thursday, he will become one of the few members of the Executive and Legislative Councils in Hong Kong.
At present, the only members of Hong Kong who are members of both councils are Governor Bryan, Chief Executive Kessos, Financial Secretary Weems, and Commander-in-Chief of Hong Kong Gibson.
…
After the party, Li Jianhui and other Tung Wah Club members in Xiangjiang did not rush home. Instead, they came to the Xinhui Hotel conference room to exchange views on tonight's events.
According to the original plan of Li Jianhui and others, they should keep a low profile as much as possible in the past few years, conduct business with peace of mind, let the industry go out of Hong Kong, expand their own development space, and not get involved in the political whirlpool.
It's a pity that plans can never keep up with changes. They didn't expect that the Bryan government would make such a move.
Everyone is ambitious, especially those who have lived in Xiangjiang since childhood. Their thoughts are more Western-oriented. Given such an opportunity, how could they let it go.
Li Guobao said with excitement: "Everyone, our opportunity has arrived. No matter why the Bryan administration chooses to do this, we cannot let this opportunity slip away.
Shatin is a key area for the association, so we can ignore it for the time being, but Sai Kung, Yuen Long, North District and Tai Po are all key areas for our Tung Wah Association, and we must firmly take the initiative in these places."
Lei Juekun, Chen Zhiyong, Guo Zhiquan, Ye Han, Zhang Guangwen, Pan Zhiyong, and Feng Jingyao also said that no matter what the future holds, the Donghua Association must take the initiative and firmly control the initiative of the four district councils.
Seeing this, Li Jianhui could not go against everyone's wishes and agreed to take the initiative and let Jiayi Group cooperate in publicity.
"Since everyone is interested in getting involved, we need a spokesperson in this area who can form a political organization and participate in the election of district councilors and even the election of the district chief executive. I wonder if you have any good candidates?"
Participation in this matter is participation. Li Jianhui and others will not end up personally. In the final analysis, they still focus on the family business.
After some deliberations, it was finally decided to be led by a lawyer from the Li Guobao family, assisted by Lei Juekun's nephew Lei Zhaojiang, and Tianshui Holding Group provided HK$50 million as development funds.
As for the invitations from unofficial members, Li Jianhui, Li Guobao, and Lei Juekun have no intention of rejecting them. We don’t care about the future for the time being. Let’s talk about it now. This will also be conducive to the development of the Tung Wah Association.
With this platform, they can propose to the government to build subway lines from Tseung Kwan O to North District, Tin Shui Wai to North District, Tseung Kwan O to Central, and Tseung Kwan O to Tin Shui Wai. They can also propose to the Hong Kong government to build more universities with degree programs. The most important thing is to build
Economic development includes some suggestions that are beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang and Tung Wah Association.
Regardless of whether it can be passed or not, at least now we have the right to make proposals, and with the district council, if the media below and the media can push the situation forward, there may be a lot to be done about these things.
Tonight, not only the Donghua Association is discussing this matter, but also the Huaxin Association, the Federation, the New Asia Association, and the Xianghua Association.
The vast majority of people are gearing up and preparing to do something big, but there are also a very small number of people who can't sleep at night because of this news.
