Chapter 762: Cooperation with the Far East Society
When Li Jianhui and others were in Guocheng, Xiangjiang was also turbulent in the past two days. The core of it was the TV series "Star City Defense" broadcast on the Mandarin Channel of Jiayi TV during the evening prime time.
This is the first time that Jiayi TV has broadcast such a political TV series since Li Jianhui took over Jiayi TV, and chose such a time period.
This is a landmark event in the eyes of all parties, symbolizing the official end of the alliance between the Donghua Society headed by the Xin Jian faction and the Nippon Foundation. It also marks the openness of the conflict between the two parties, and there is no possibility of another alliance between the two parties in the short term.
In the 301 conference hall of Xinhui Hotel in Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang Industry and Commerce Association held a meeting this month, focusing on how Xiangjiang industry and commerce should respond to the suppression by the governments and enterprises of the United States, Japan and South Korea.
Li Guobao, the president of the association, first spoke: “In the past few months, many of our companies have encountered certain difficulties in development due to being targeted by governments and companies in some countries.
This meeting was specially held today to discuss how to help these enterprises overcome the current difficulties and to discuss the future development path of our Hong Kong industry and commerce.
I also hope that all members can work together, and everyone can add fuel to the flames. Our industry and commerce in Xiangjiang are a whole. Only when the industries are well developed can each company develop better."
After Li Guobao finished speaking, Zhang Guangwen, as the first vice president, immediately continued: "Everyone knows that the market in Xiangjiang is small, and if our company wants to grow, we can only develop into other markets.
Through everyone's efforts in the past few years, the strength of our Xiangjiang enterprise has achieved explosive growth, not only firmly occupying the Xiangjiang market, but also occupying a good share in the Baodao and Nanyang markets.
However, some established forces regard the Nanyang market as their own territory and are unwilling to see us enter.
On behalf of the Queen and Mrs Thatcher, I once again invite you to join the United Kingdom, and the doors to our homelands and overseas territories will always be open for you."
It's a pity that except for members of the Far Eastern Society such as Sze Huaiya and Keswick who have spoken out in support, neither the members of the Heung Wah Society nor the Sun Hung Society, the New Asia Society, the Nanjiang Society, etc. want to confront the capitals of Japan, the United States, and South Korea.
The plan to compete.
There are also some forces who are used to being the boss and do not want to see the rise of our Xiangjiang capital, so they have united to target our Xiangjiang enterprises in an attempt to trap our Xiangjiang enterprises in the Xiangjiang market.
…
At present, only the Tung Wah Hui and Far East Hui industries have been suppressed and targeted. Both sides face a common enemy, so there is a natural need to join forces to deal with it.
When talking about the performance of several major associations at today's meeting, Shi Huaiya said: "We have always believed that your Donghua Association is feeding tigers, and you have tolerated and even promoted the Sun Hung Association and the New Asia Association over the years.
As capital develops and grows, it will eventually suffer its own consequences."
In terms of finance, HSBC, Standard Chartered, Xinjian, East Asia, K. Wah and other banks have become strategic partners in the ASEAN market.
Although the Sun Hung Club and the New Asia Club both have U.S. consortium capital holding part of the shares, the two major associations still make their own decisions. Although it will not help the Tung Wah Club to resist the suppression of Japanese, American and Korean capital, it will not become a target for the Japanese, American and Korean capital to target Donghua Club.
The pawn of Huahui.
I believe that our representatives from the Xiangjiang industrial and commercial community are all serious people and will never be willing to trap the Xiangjiang market. I also believe that our Xiangjiang capital will have a place in the future global market.
Li Guobao and others did not have the luxury of expecting that several major associations could stand with the Donghua Association when it faced other capital targets.
Jianhui once said in talks with Cavendish, Grosvenor, Bute and other core members of the Rose Consortium that we, the Donghua Society, would not intervene in the fight between you and the Sun Hung Society and the New Asia Society.
After the meeting, Li Guobao, Zhang Guangwen and others specially held talks with Shi Huaiya, Shen Bi, Keswick and others.
Li Guobao and others naturally understood the meaning of Shi Huaiya's words, and both Li Jianhui and members of the Tung Wah Society understood that neither the Sun Hung Society nor the New Asia Society could be long-term allies of the Tung Wah Society, whether in the past, now or in the future. But using the term "raising tigers for disaster" is a bit too much.
“We would like to thank the Bryan government and the London government for their support and care for our industries, and also thank Mrs. Thatcher for standing up for us when our industry faced suppression from the Japanese, American, and Korean governments.
Several major associations are cleaning up their own troubles. When Japan, the United States and South Korea do not specifically target their industries, they will not help the Donghua Association to resist the suppression of Japanese, American and Korean capital.
As the first vice-president of the association, I would like to introduce some ideas and briefly talk about some of my views on the current situation.
The members present here know very well that whether it is Li Guobao or Zhang Guangwen, after saying so much, they still represent Li Jianhui's meaning.
It’s just that the main members of the Tung Wah Association have lived in Xiangjiang since childhood. This is our root and we have no plans to leave at the moment.
Wellcome Supermarket will develop in a dislocated manner with Lane Crawford, Watsons, and Berjaya Department Store, jointly squeezing the market share of retail companies such as Lotte, Ito-Yokado, Seibu Department Store, and Wal-Mart in ASEAN.
I also ask you and Mr. Li Jianhui to rest assured that the Bryan government and our local government will be the strong backing of the Xin Jian Clique and the Tung Wah Association.
…”
Today we are sitting together, mainly to discuss the cooperation between our industries in the ASEAN market, especially in retail, finance and other aspects to jointly suppress similar industries in Japan, the United States and South Korea."
"Shi Huaiya, I know that the Rose Consortium and your Far East Club have always had plans to target the Sun Hung Club and the New Asia Club.
"Mr. Li Guobao, please also tell Mr. Li Jianhui that our Far Eastern Association and even the Rose Financial Holdings Group will always stand together with the Xin Jian Department and the Donghua Association.
As for the Tung Wah Club's unwillingness to target the Sun Hung Club and the New Asia Club, Shi Huaiya and others stopped mentioning it and began to communicate with Li Guobao and others about cooperation in the ASEAN market.
In order for Chinese capital to dominate the ASEAN market as soon as possible, Tung Wah Hui's capital alone is far from enough. It requires the joint entry of Chinese capital such as Sun Hung Hui and New Asia Hui. This is why Tung Wah Hui is willing to tolerate capital such as Sun Hung Hui and cooperate with it. Reasons for cooperative market development.
The reason for holding this meeting today is just to see some people clearly, so that there will be no need to talk about things in the future.
If we have any plans in this regard in the future, Donghua Territory and Commonwealth countries will be our first choice."
Shi Huaiya and others have already spoken, and they don't care much about Li Guobao's response. After all, they who often live in Xiangjiang know the thoughts of the people at the helm of the Xiangjiang Huazi family. Unless it is a last resort, these people will not choose Those who transfer their household registration will not leave Xiangjiang.
Moreover, Shi Huaiya and others believe that as the situation continues to develop, members of the Donghua Society in Xiangjiang will eventually be forced to choose to move, and the north simply cannot accommodate the ambitious Donghua Society.
Only then can the Donghua Society, the Far East Society and even the Rose Consortium become true allies.
