Three hundred and seventieth chapters speak with righteousness
"Bao Sheng, Huo Sheng, I kept you two waiting for a long time."
The boat charter king said: "We came early, and we are also grateful to Li Sheng for coming to the banquet."
"Faced with the joint invitation from the two of you, I believe no one in Xiangjiang will refuse, including Brian."
They knew very well that this was just a compliment from Li Jianhui. Although the two of them did have a good influence in Hong Kong, there were still some people who would not give them face, especially some people on the right.
Only Li Jianhui, whose reputation is so high now, whether from the left, center or right, as well as the representatives of the Bryan government and British capital, will sell his face.
This can be seen from the fact that Li Jianhui banned public opinion from promoting the Xin Jian Clique and the Tung Wah Association. That is, only Li Jianhui could make all media outlets stop reporting on relevant aspects. If they or the Bryan government were to mention press freedom again, I am afraid.
After drinking and eating, the two men finally got down to business. The chartering king said: "Li Sheng, I know that you, like us, have a patriotic heart, and I also know that you are dissatisfied with some of the practices over there.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Many things cannot be accomplished overnight, and some things represent the views of a small group of people, but cannot represent the entire country and nation. I also hope that you will not be dissatisfied with the entire nation just because you are dissatisfied with a small group of people.
disappointment.
You should know how difficult it has been for our nation and country in modern times. What the country and nation need most now is peaceful and stable development and efforts to make the people rich and powerful. I hope you can provide for this for the sake of the country and nation.
A helping hand.”
Li Jianhui did not respond to Bao Yugang's remarks, but said: "I heard that you went there last month to donate money to build a hotel. Just because it was named after your father, the other party was unwilling to take over. What else could you bring up?
He is an overseas capitalist, he just has a little money, and he still wants to..."
Huo Yingdong knew that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, he was afraid that the thorn in Li Jianhui's heart would be pierced deeper and deeper. At the same time, he was also surprised at Li Jianhui's intelligence capabilities. These things should be relatively obscure, but why was Li Jianhui so clear about it.
"Li Sheng, we are all one family over there. There is no such thing as overseas. It is not like ten or twenty years ago, and we will not engage in class struggle.
Please rest assured that after your return in the future, your personal property will be protected and will never be confiscated on unfounded charges, let alone a landlord fight.
And you just mentioned Yugang’s donation to build a hotel. This has been approved by the above, and it was an instruction personally given by your fellow villager, and he even wrote an inscription for it. The name of the hotel is also after Yugang’s father’s name.”
The chartered ship king also gave a brief account of the matter, and also told Li Jianhui about the meeting and discussions with several core leaders there last month.
In particular, Li Jianhui was mentioned in it. The Guocheng fellow was full of praise for Li Jianhui's actions in aiding his hometown. He even said that if there were more such outstanding talents in the nation, there would be no need for the country to develop.
Li Jianhui just listened to this, and he had no way of judging whether it was true or not, and he probably hoped that there would be fewer people like him. After all, the monopoly consortium and the governing philosophy of the other party are naturally in conflict with each other.
In just the past few years, if we push it forward five or six years, Li Jianhui estimates that he has been able to be written into textbooks and become the target of criticism and reviling.
"Huo Sheng, Bao Sheng, I know very well why you are here. I also hope that the nation will be strong and the country prosperous.
But stance determines attitude, to put it mildly, if someone like me is not suppressed there, it is already an act of mercy outside the law, and it is unthinkable to gain support.
But for the long-term and stable development of my industry, I must have a stable market.
The time left for me is limited. I must complete the layout before the Japanese consortium retreats, otherwise my industry will have no foothold by then."
The charter king also understands the world situation. Currently, the most powerful ones are the American consortium and the Japanese consortium. Moreover, these two parties are competing with each other in the North American market, especially the US market, which also gives opportunities for development and expansion of companies in other regions.
The Xin Jian Group is the representative here. If the six major Japanese consortiums were not focused on the U.S. market, and the Japanese consortium was interested in wooing Xiangjiang Capital, how could the Xin Jian Group have been able to expand in the Southeast Asian market so easily?
If the Japanese consortium really retreats, I am afraid that the Xinjian Department will face joint suppression from Japanese, American, Korean and even Nanyang capital. If the Southeast Asian market is unstable, the Xinjian Department will only be trapped in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and will have no capital and Japanese and American consortiums.
Arm Wrestling.
Just understanding is one thing, but supporting is another. As Li Jianhui said, stance determines attitude.
From their standpoint, Li Jianhui's large-scale capital investment in the Southeast Asian market at such a time is very detrimental to their side, and adds considerable pressure to public opinion and negotiations there.
Especially at present, foreign capital there is mainly capital from here, but because of Li Jianhui's actions, a large amount of capital has followed to Southeast Asia, which has also slowed down the development there.
Today they hosted a banquet for Li Jianhui. First, they hoped that some of the investments made by the Xin Jian Department would not be so high-profile and make the noise known to the world.
The second is to hope that when Li Jianhui invests in the Southeast Asian market, he can also increase investment there.
Even if there are no projects there worthy of investment by the Xin Jian Department, I still hope that Li Jianhui can increase investment here.
Send more positive messages to the outside world, instead of sending mostly negative messages like now.
"Huo Sheng, I also want to increase investment here, but I'm currently short of funds. I originally raised a lot of funds, but the follow-up plans have been allocated to various groups under my subsidiaries, and they have all been allocated to various development projects. There is really no room left.
money for additional investment.
Moreover, the market layout here has been relatively complete, and the current market situation is very good. No one has achieved a monopoly in a certain industry, and I have no intention of breaking the current situation, lest I be labeled as a monopoly capitalist."
Regarding this, Huo and Bao were speechless, and they knew that many people in the Xiangjiang business community did not want the Xin Jian Clique and its allied industries to continue to invest and expand in Xiangjiang.
At present, except for a few industries in Xiangjiang, there are Xinjian clique and allies. If the Xinjian clique expands, it will inevitably seize the market share of other companies, which is what those people absolutely do not want to see.
If it weren't for the current situation, the Charter King would not have persuaded Li Jianhui to invest here. The expansion of the Xin Jian Department would also affect the interests of him and his allies.
The two of them understood each other with emotion and reason, hoping to use righteousness to understand Li Jianhui's ideological work. Unfortunately, Li Jianhui was not an ignorant and passionate young man, and he did not have the understanding to...dispose of his family's wealth, nor did he have the intention to do so.
Ideal and dedicate everything.
In his previous life, he lived a humble life just for a house. In this life, the most important thing in his heart was his family, and it was useless to talk to him about his ideals and righteousness.
Once he understood that he couldn't rely on it, he would not let the hawk see the rabbit before he saw it. Without tangible benefits, he would not make a promise easily.
He clearly remembers that this situation will last for several years, and he cannot give up exploring the external market because of this.
It is easy for him to invest over there. As long as the restrictions on some industries in the Xinjian Department are lifted, then there will naturally be far more capital to open up the market.
