Chapter 411 Everything has a reason

After Vice Premier Zeng and the Central Committee members arrived, the meeting organizer was the organizer, and then he introduced it all. Fan Wubing did not listen to these contents seriously. He just stood up and smiled at everyone when he introduced him, and posed for the reporters to take photos.
As a result, the frequency of the flash immediately increased dozens of times, and the hall was filled with strong light, which made Fan Wubing's eyes a little bit tired. It took him a long time to get back to normal.
"The Shanghai media reporters are so enthusiastic." Fan Wubing found that he had stolen most of the people's limelight, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said to Li Yunheng with a hint of embarrassment.
Lee Yunheng was still a little surprised by Fan Wubing's reputation. Although he was also a person who was highly concerned by the media in China, because his father Lee Kun-hee has always been low-key, their children rarely show their faces in front of the media publicly. Unless they are surrounded by paparazzi, they will leak one or two blurred photos. Once the information is exposed, the company will use connections to eliminate the impact.
With the power of Samsung Group in South Korea, it is still easy to do these things.
Therefore, it was a little strange when Li Yunheng saw that Fan Wubing did not reject this kind of life exposed to the flash.
Seeing that Li Yunheng was a little puzzled, Fan Wubing explained to her, "In China, fame can be effectively managed as a resource. The greater your reputation, the more resources you can obtain, and the more convenient it will be to do things. Chinese people have always had celebrity complexes, so there are many brochures with famous quotes written on them, and they are very popular."
Li Yunheng nodded and said, "I understand, just like when I was young, my father often asked us to memorize the Analects of Confucius, which is what Confucius said. My father said that Chinese people like to immerse themselves in history to make excuses for themselves, so they like to study what the ancients said and did, lacking the vision to look forward, and lacking the courage to be enterprising."
"Summer insects cannot talk about ice." How could Fan Wubing allow sticks to be arranged by Chinese people? Shaking his head, "The insects that live in summer have a short period of fame and die in winter, so they have never seen what ice looks like. You Koreans have never seen the splendid culture of the Supreme People's Republic of China, so naturally they will not know why the Chinese civilization can be passed down for so long, just like the insects in summer. Therefore, it is not so easy for any outsider to objectively evaluate something, because you have no position and can only see the appearance, but do not understand the causes hidden in this appearance."
“It sounds a bit difficult to understand.
"Li Yunheng shook her head. She was a little younger. She still couldn't understand these deeper problems.
Fan Wubing naturally couldn't say that Li Yunheng had long hair and short knowledge. After all, she was just a Korean.
After a while, Fan Heng slipped here and saw another strange child next to Fan Wubing. He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. He thought that this son was good at everything, but the speed of changing girlfriends was too fast, so that when he saw him once, he could find that different girls were with him, which made him unwilling to ask more questions.
However, this time Fan Wubing took the initiative to introduce Lee Yunheng to his father Fan Heng. "Dad, this little girl is the daughter of Lee Kun-hee, the daughter of the president of Lee Kun-hee, South Korea Samsung Group." Then he introduced Lee Yunheng. "This is my father, Fan Heng, acting governor of Jiangnan Province."
"Hello uncle." Li Yunheng bowed respectfully to Fan Heng.
"Hello Miss Li." Fan Heng heard this and found out that this little girl is quite well-known. Although Samsung South Korea is not able to play in the United States now, it is still very famous in mainland China. Especially in electronic products, it has a certain market share in all provinces and cities. Even in Jiangnan Province, there are also many sellers under Samsung Group.
Li Yunheng was also a little cautious, otherwise he would not have called him uncle, but would have called him Governor Fan.
Fan Wubing whispered to Fan Heng about the situation where Li Yunheng came to China, and then briefly mentioned the matter that he was working with Samsung, and then suggested to his father Fan Heng, "You can also bring them to invest in a factory or something, so it's better for me to always provide financial support, which has attracted countless gossip. This can be regarded as a political achievement in introducing foreign investment."
"That's not impossible. Are there any good projects?" Fan Heng nodded and asked.
There is indeed no foreign company in Jiangnan Province that is too large. If Samsung can build a factory in Jiangnan Province, not to mention how much economic benefits it can produce, it can at least reverse the relatively unfavorable backward situation in Jiangnan Province from the perspective of image.
Fan Heng also understood what his son meant, so he thought about it carefully and found that he could not ignore this matter. The relationship in front of him could be used well, and his son's foreign business partners could also be used. This way, adding up all the things together is a considerable power.
Don't do anything bad because you are small, Fan Heng said to himself, so he looked at Li Yunheng's
I am always kind, "If Miss Li has time, she can go to Jiangnan Province, and there are still many mountains and rivers in her life. Then let Wujian come with you, and I will welcome you specifically."
"Thank you uncle, I will definitely go." Li Yunheng was very happy and bowed to Fan Heng again.
Fan Heng didn't stop here for too long. After all, this time it was a group event, so he was invited to come, so after talking for a few words, he returned to their side.
This time Fan Heng came here, which was a cooperation talk between the Shanghai Municipal Government and some economic organizations in Hong Kong. It not only invited many business people, but also leaders from some nearby provinces and cities. Promising Central Committee members like Fan Heng are naturally the first choice for invitations.
In Hong Kong, some bosses of large groups and some government officials who are closer to the mainland have been invited.
Although China and the UK are constantly filthy about the return of Hong Kong, and some people are worried that the return of 1997 will not go too smoothly, most Chinese people can firmly believe that no matter what the purpose is, the Chinese government will unswervingly regain Hong Kong's sovereignty. As Mr. Deng said, in 1997, we must take back Hong Kong, either by my special train or by driving a tank.
Although Hong Kong Governor Patten wanted to set up a direct train, which caused almost severance between the mainland government and the Hong Kong government, most Hong Kong government officials, especially Chinese officials, were eager to strengthen their ties with the mainland and pave the way for their future return. The consortiums deeply rooted in Hong Kong's interests have long been getting along with the mainland government. Whether it is donating to build libraries or establishing foundations, it is nothing more than losing money and eliminating disasters, hoping to continue its monopoly position in Hong Kong and continue its century-old wealth.
The relationship between Hong Kong and Shanghai has a long history, especially in financial cooperation.
Stock trading in Hong Kong can be traced back to 1860. Early British merchants established a joint venture in Hong Kong. The stock transfer was in the form of private transactions and was matched through intermediaries. One year, the Hong Kong Brokerage Association was officially established and later renamed the Hong Kong Exchanges.
Most of the early transactions were reached on the streets of Xuechang Street, and brokers communicated information, including the amount of goods, the price, etc., and then brokers would take rickshaws to negotiate with investors. The pace was very slow at that time and there were not many transactions, mainly British companies such as HSBC, Land, Kowloon, Hong Kong Lights, Gas, Trams, Swire Dock, Huangpu Dock and Junyi Warehouse.
Before the liberation, Hong Kong's position as a financial center could not be compared with Shanghai. After the liberation of mainland China, some securities companies and financial practitioners on the Shanghai Stock Exchange began to switch to Hong Kong, bringing talents and indispensable funds. Some listed companies also began to move to Hong Kong for various reasons, promoting the active situation in the Hong Kong stock market.
Taking Jardine Holdings, a large company at that time, as an example, before 1949, Jardine’s main business was concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta Basin. After various considerations, it was determined to focus on Hong Kong. After rest and recuperation, Jardine Holdings was listed in Hong Kong in 1961 and issued 900,000 shares at 16 yuan per share. At that time, it was oversubscribed 56 times, and the opening price was more than 31 yuan, which can fully witness the prosperity of the Hong Kong market at that time.
It can be said that many of the current large consortiums in Hong Kong have been traveling from the mainland. In addition, these people are eager to miss homesickness when they get older. After the reform and development in recent years, many people have returned to the mainland to invest, and economic cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong is becoming increasingly close.
This exchange activity has been relatively rare in recent years, both in terms of specifications and scale.
As for the purpose of this event, Fan Wubing also guessed that it was probably to isolate the Governor Patten.
Because Patten once said that he would soon reform the electoral system of the Legislative Council, in addition to the separation of the two bureaus, all appointed seats will be abolished, and nine new functional group seats will be added, so that all working people can qualify for voting, and in disguise these nine seats will be directly elected seats to accelerate the pace of democracy in Hong Kong. The mainland government was very dissatisfied with this, pointing out that the reform had not consulted the central government's opinions and declared that the relevant reforms would be abolished after the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong.
Despite strong opposition from the central government, Patten's political reform plan was successfully passed by the Legislative Council and implemented in last year's Hong Kong Legislative Council election. However, the central government stated that the abandonment of the direct train would not allow the Legislative Council members elected last year to transition to the Legislative Council of the SAR.
In this way, the mainland government needs to attract some important members who can cooperate with their guiding ideology to control the general trend of Hong Kong after 1997. The local people in Hong Kong who have interests in this regard also hope to be recognized by the mainland government and continue to enjoy privileges after the transition.
Fan Wubing has reason to believe that as the date of Hong Kong's return approaches a year later, such activities will become more and more frequent.
