Chapter six hundred and ninetieth unwilling to intervene
It is difficult to keep a meeting with a large number of people secret, especially if it belongs to different forces, which makes it even more impossible. This also leads to various rumors quickly spreading through the streets and alleys, becoming the topic of conversation for countless citizens at dinner.
The stock market has been in a state of flux these past few days, with the stock prices of companies holding large amounts of reserved land rising sharply, while the stock prices of a large number of real estate companies have plummeted due to selling by investors.
When Li Jianhui returned home, he didn't care about the disturbances outside. He rarely had any free time, so he could only try to spend as much time as possible with his family when he was at home.
There are now eleven children. The oldest, Li Shuhui, is over four years old and has reached an age where she loves to play and be active.
Because they have reached the age of going to school, Liu Xiaojuan, Zhou Jiayi and others are more strict in their discipline. Even if they are in school, Liu Xiaojuan and several other girls will study with them when they return home.
Therefore, Li Jianhui became the savior of Li Shuhui, Li Shuyan, Li Zhipeng, and Li Zhihong who were already in kindergarten.
Especially Li Shuhui and Li Shuyan, because Li Jianhui also believes that his son should be strictly disciplined since childhood, while his daughter is not too strict.
This also resulted in the two girls running to Li Jianhui immediately as soon as Li Jianhui came back, asking Li Jianhui to play with them.
It was still a while before dinner, so it was naturally impossible for Li Jianhui to take only two little girls to play. In addition to Li Zhipeng and Li Zhihong, Li Zhide, Li Shulan, Li Zhijia and several other little guys who could run around followed Li Jianhui to the children's playground.
This place was originally intended to be a play place for my own children, but now it has become a common play place for the children of members of the Tung Wah Association Xiangjiang and senior members of the Xin Jian Department.
The scene of children playing can make people forget all their worries. Seeing the innocent and cute appearance of the children, Li Jianhui felt calm as never before, and all the calculations in his mind disappeared at this time.
However, the external situation is obviously not willing to see him live such a peaceful life. Perhaps because the Hong Kong Industry and Commerce Association will hold a special meeting tomorrow, Mr. Liao and Li Jueshen did not make an appointment in advance and came to visit directly.
Although Li Jianhui didn't want to see them in his heart, for the sake of the development of the Xin Jian Department and even Donghuahui enterprises in the northern market, he still asked Guan Jiahui and Su Jiangting to stay here to continue to accompany their children, while he went home.
…
In the living room, Li Jianhui responded after listening to Mr. Liao's words: "I really can't intervene in this matter. What will happen next depends on the will of nearly seven million citizens. I cannot express my position on their behalf, nor can I
Qualifications to take a stand on their behalf.
Tomorrow's meeting will involve representatives of leading companies from all walks of life in Hong Kong. Their demands represent the interests of the entire business community. It is impossible for me to risk the disapproval of the world and offend the common interests of the business community.
You reap what you sow. When formulating this rule, you should have thought about the consequences.
Of course, you can also put all the blame on us. After all, it has been said since ancient times that no businessman will be dishonest, and it has long been common for businessmen to be stigmatized when problems arise.
There have been rumors recently that some companies would rather use their land to grow vegetables than develop it on a large scale, let alone use it for manufacturing companies in need. It seems that all the sins are caused by a few humble businessmen.
Someone once told me that as a businessman, even earning one copper is considered a sin in the eyes of the lower class. I still don't believe it.
I always thought that people can compare their feelings with each other, but now I realize that I was terribly wrong. For these people, being a businessman is a sin in itself.
I have been tired over the past few years. I am just an ordinary businessman with no responsibility or ability to carry the banner of development and prosperity.
At tomorrow's meeting, I will take the initiative to resign as president of the association and let capable people take up the position to lead the business community in Hong Kong to a higher level."
Mr. Liao and Li Jueshen became more and more panicked as they listened. They were very worried that Li Jianhui would abandon this place because of some rumors. Once the Xinjian Department's industrial headquarters was transferred on a large scale, it would inevitably cause huge turmoil.
It's not like they haven't heard of some rumors. They didn't take them seriously before, and some people below even vaguely supported them.
Because the large-scale development of reserved land by several major real estate groups will inevitably lead to a situation of oversupply, there will be no basis for rising property prices in the short term, and ordinary citizens will not continue to focus on fifty hectares. This is a matter of public opinion.
The above will greatly reduce their pressure.
Li Jianhui wants to be an ordinary businessman, but Mr. Liao and Li Jueshen don't want to see that in the Xiangjiang business community, except for members of the Xianghua Association, Li Jianhui is more biased towards them.
Once Li Jianhui chooses to remain silent, it will be even more difficult for them to carry out their work, and without Donghua, property prices will be suppressed, and I am afraid that property prices will skyrocket.
"Li Sheng, you can say that you deserve the most credit for the steady and rapid growth of Xiangjiang's economy in recent years.
I also believe that the vast majority of citizens understand the truth in their hearts, and I ask you not to be affected by individual rumors.
We also know that some policies have indeed had a big impact on your layout, but now it is a done deal and cannot be changed. We also hope that Li Sheng will not continue to be entangled and focus on the future.
Xiangjiang is a small area with a large population, so it is destined to be impossible to develop manufacturing on a large scale. In this regard, we in the north can complement each other. Pengcheng is close to Xiangjiang and can fully serve as a production base for Xiangjiang enterprises."
Li Jianhui did not continue to struggle with this. He has understood many things over the years. As a businessman, he must follow business rules.
In the future, whether it is water, electricity or public transportation such as buses, prices will increase in line with commodity prices.
Regarding property prices, Tung Wah Club will not lower the prices any more and will completely follow the market price to avoid offending its peers.
Anyway, as long as a few major real estate groups hold a large amount of reserved land in their hands, it is a crime. In this case, there is no need to act as a good guy.
Moreover, due to the Blaine policy, the permanent population and registered population in Xiangjiang are increasing rapidly, and high property prices and high commodity prices can also prevent some people from settling down and staying permanently.
As industries continue to shift, it is difficult to add jobs on a large scale. Currently, we can only cope with the unemployed and fresh graduates, and there is no need for a large number of ordinary blue-collar workers seeking jobs.
"Mr. Liao, President Li, Taoism teaches inaction, and everything develops according to its own laws. Many times we should just let nature take its course.
As for how it develops in the end, that is everyone's choice, and no one is to blame.
I have always said that Hong Kong belongs to nearly seven million citizens, not to me alone.
Although I have some reputation and property, like the vast majority of citizens, I am just a humble citizen and have no ability to interfere in major world affairs.
I, Li Jianhui, and my family only hope to live a peaceful and stable life in Xiangjiang. Today I can only say that you have found the wrong person, and at the same time you think too highly of me."
Li Jianhui's attitude was already very obvious. Mr. Liao and Li Jueshen did not show any affection towards him. After chatting for a few words, they stood up and left.
They need to go back and re-evaluate Li Jianhui and the Tung Wah Association. In the future, the Tung Wah Association is likely to be the same as Sun Hung, New Asia, Nanjiang and other major associations, completely from the perspective of businessmen.
This is not good news for either this side or them, and it will also mean that development here will be more complicated.
