The Tung Wah Association and other major forces in Xiangjiang have been making frequent moves in the past few days, making Xiangjiang extremely lively, but some people can't sit still at this time.
In the afternoon, Li Jianhui received an invitation from Li Jushen, the president of Xinghua Society, to have afternoon tea at Yixuan Teahouse in Tseung Kwan O.
Tea is good tea, but neither Li Jianhui nor Li Jueshen's main intention is to enjoy tea.
The two of them were relatively familiar with each other, so there were not so many polite words. Li Jueshen soon said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, you also know that the talks between the two parties have reached a critical period. We hope that this side can remain as stable as possible. I don't know.
Can Li Sheng temporarily give in and stop targeting the industries owned by other parties?"
"President Li, this time it's not that I disregard the friendship of my fellow clansmen, nor is it that I'm looking for trouble. I'm just being forced to fight back.
And I believe that competition in business will never affect the talks between the two parties, and the emergence of competition will also be beneficial to more than six million citizens.
You should know that both the property market and retail product prices have dropped in the past few days, effectively reducing the burden on citizens.
The reduction of loan interest rates by major banks such as Xinjian, East Asia, K. Wah, Daoheng and Yongan will have a great promotion effect on economic development."
Li Jueshen is naturally aware of the market situation these days. Ordinary citizens are happy to hear about this, especially those who intend to buy houses. Not to mention the drop in property prices, their loan interest will also be much lower than before.
It's just that the original intention of Tung Wah to hand over profits was not to benefit the more than 6 million citizens, but to combat competitors. Once these powerful industries leave Xiangjiang, Tung Wah, which has monopolized the market, will not be a good thing for the citizens.
And at such a moment, they absolutely do not want large-scale corporate bankruptcies to occur, and they do not want the situation to fall into turmoil.
From his own perspective, Li Jueshen actually does not want the Tung Wah Association to be dominated by one company. He is also not happy about other companies joining forces with external capital to target the Tung Wah Association.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a critical period, he would not have intervened to mediate. Instead, he hoped that the two parties would fight for as long as possible, so that their companies would also have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, gain a foothold here, and expand their influence here.
"Regarding the issue, we all know that regarding the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, we also hope that Xinjian Bank will obtain it, not Nanjiang Hang Seng Bank.
But Mr. Li should be clear that because of your stance on the pound and the strength of the Donghua Association, it is impossible for the Bryan government to allow Xinjian Bank to obtain this right.
Even if several forces did not come forward, Xinjian Bank would not be able to get it.
It can even be said that the Bryan administration's proposal to add a Hong Kong dollar note-issuing bank was actually prepared for Nanjiang Hang Seng Bank. Otherwise, the other bank would not have added one at all.
We also hope that Mr. Li can understand our difficulties and that we can work together to maintain the stability of the situation and avoid unnecessary complications in the negotiations between the two parties."
Li Jianhui obviously had no intention of stopping immediately, and he didn't care much about the meaning of Li Jue's words.
This time the Donghua Association must teach the Nanjiang Association a profound lesson, otherwise the market behind the Donghua Association will never have peace in the future.
Moreover, they repeatedly hope that he will understand their difficulties, but why can't they understand their own difficulties?
Now the Tung Wah Society is facing enemies on all sides, and it is completely dancing on a tightrope. Fortunately, the major capitals in Europe, America and Japan are also full of contradictions and have not joined forces to jointly target the Tung Wah Society.
"President Li, I understand your considerations, but you should also be aware of the current situation of Xiangjiang Capital and even the world's major capitals.
If our Tung Wah Association gives in this time, then all parties will continue to approach, and I am afraid that there will be no retreat, and the Tung Wah Association will decline as a result.
This time I can only promise that it will not cause a large number of people to lose their jobs and that economic development will not be greatly affected."
Li Jueshen had anticipated this reply before inviting Li Jianhui. The time he came to work in Xiangjiang was not long, but not short either, and he had some understanding of many things, especially business and capital.
In the current capital situation in Xiangjiang, Tung Wah Club is the only one, and the other capitals together cannot compare to Tung Wah Club.
In recent years, Donghua Hui has mainly developed overseas markets. Due to the strength of other companies, Xiangjiang Capital has been relatively harmonious, so Xianghua Hui has suffered a relatively big blow.
But now this situation has changed. Perhaps Donghua Club has expanded too fast in overseas markets, making the established powers in Europe, America and Japan unwilling to see Donghua Club continue to conquer cities and territories in major markets.
This prompted the competition for the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, which led to the current situation.
He believes that members of the Tung Wah Association are very aware of the impact that returning the focus to the Greater China and Southeast Asian markets will have on the Tung Wah Association's global market layout, but this is a helpless choice for the Tung Wah Association.
By taking the focus back, we can still guarantee our core market. If we don't pay more attention to the rear, we may have nothing by then.
In fact, Li Jueshen is not very satisfied with the other major capitals in Xiangjiang. He really does not want the major capitals in Xiangjiang to fight on a large scale instead of focusing on developing external markets.
In particular, the other major capitals have European, American and Japanese capital behind them. If Donghua falls and these companies dominate the Hong Kong market, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.
It was just the request from above that he hoped that all aspects of stability could be maintained as much as possible during this period. Even though he knew it was unlikely, he still invited Li Jianhui as soon as possible, hoping that the feelings of the nation and the country would make Li Jianhui make concessions.
It's a pity that Li Jianhui is not like Huo Bao and others, and does not have the spirit of sacrificing his own family for everyone. In Li Jianhui's case, the interests of the Donghua Association obviously come first.
"Since Li Sheng said this, I will not give any more advice. Our nation and country have been in many disasters in modern times, and it is not easy to develop to the present. I also hope that Li Sheng can consider it carefully when making important decisions.
I know Li Sheng's feelings for this nation and he has made great contributions to this nation.
I don’t want one day to cause great losses to our nation because of Li Sheng’s unintentional actions, and I don’t want one day to see Li Sheng become a negative teaching material in national history books.”
"Thank you, President Li, for your reminder and advice. I cannot promise or guarantee anything. I can only strive to have a clear conscience.
The development of Donghua Association to its current scale has dissatisfied many people. Countless forces are unwilling to continue to see our Donghua Association continue to develop and grow. They do not want our Donghua Association to dominate many industries or even monopolize the markets in Greater China and Southeast Asia.
, this also includes you.
Many things would be meaningless if explained plainly. In fact, we all understand in our hearts, and I don’t want to explain too much.
Because of our different ideological views and positions, we have differences on many issues.
We won’t talk about history. Ever since our Donghua Association entered the northern market, we have always been doing business and abiding by your laws and regulations.
This attitude will continue no matter now or in the future. If cooperation is beneficial, we will continue to invest. If one day, cooperation cannot be mutually beneficial, then we will choose to leave.
At the same time, please rest assured that in your market, we are just well-behaved businessmen and will never meddle in things we shouldn’t.”
