February 1, 1992, the Lunar New Year is about to arrive.
Hong Kong, the chairman's office at the Four Seasons Group headquarters building in Central, Hong Kong.
Chen Xia was looking at Kowloon on the opposite bank. At this time, Hong Kong was already very prosperous, so prosperous that it seemed like two different worlds from the mainland.
Half a year had passed since the "Tianjin Incident" in the mainland, and he had been hiding abroad for half a year. Except for a two-month "business trip" to the United States, he had not returned to the mainland.
His situation is very sensitive now, so he can only stay outside temporarily to allow some people to calm down their anger.
Chen Shuqin placed several documents on the table, and Chen Defa was reading them carefully while wearing reading glasses.
"Xiao Xia, come here. After you sign these documents, the five of you can officially obtain Hong Kong residency."
Chen Xia scratched his head: "Grandpa, are you really going to immigrate to Hong Kong?"
"Move ahead, it's okay. Your registered residence will just be changed to Hong Kong. It won't affect your business in mainland China. And becoming a foreigner will also facilitate our Four Seasons Group's operations in mainland China."
Chen Xia picked up the document and took a look. There were five copies, one for himself, one for Gu Lin, one for Chen Zijin, one for Chen Zipei, and one for Chen Ziyu.
Then he took the pen and signed his name.
Now the Chen family is already one of the "top ten richest families" in Hong Kong. If such wealthy people want to immigrate, the British Hong Kong government will be happy to welcome them. From an ideological point of view, this is also a blow to the mainland, isn't it?
Look, they've worked so hard to help you for so long, and you just want to kill them? They've scared them so much that they've run away.
Chen Defa had no choice but to be on guard.
Previously, he was furious and wanted to withdraw his investment in the mainland, and showed his determination to do whatever he wanted.
Indeed, it worked! The relevant mainland authorities were working tirelessly to find the suspects, racing against time to eliminate the Li family gang as quickly as possible.
But the side effects also appeared
Some people are very angry at the Chen family for "not understanding the overall situation". After all, the international impact has already spread and has discredited the mainland.
Moreover, the Chen family exchanged 500 million US dollars in one go and it flowed out of the country. In 1991, when foreign exchange reserves were not abundant, this really made some people feel distressed for a long time.
If Chen Xia still has a mainland household registration at this time, then in the future, whether it is business expansion or external development, it will be intentionally or unintentionally restricted and constrained by some departments.
The boss behind the Four Seasons Group is Chen Xia. This is no secret among the upper echelons. Since Chen Xia is from the mainland, he is the meat in the bowl... ahem...
Chen Xia, the reborn person, knows exactly what happened to those richest people.
But once Chen Xia becomes a Hong Kong resident, a "foreigner", and a representative of Hong Kong capital, that is a different matter.
Just like this time, if Chen Xia was a fellow Hong Konger, would the Li family dare to act so recklessly? Lend them the courage!
In fact, the old man's original idea was to let Chen Xia immigrate to the United States or England directly, and then return to the mainland to do business as an overseas Chinese.
With his investments in the United States and his good relations with British companies, immigration is a piece of cake.
But Chen Xia refused. He had something in common with Chen Chun in that he always wanted to retain his identity as a "Chinese".
Then Hong Kong household registration is the best choice. It not only retains the identity of "Chinese", but also makes you a "foreigner" in fact. Even after 1997, your status is still special.
Both fathers-in-law, Xu Hongtai and Gu Wei, also agreed with Chen Xia's immigration to Hong Kong.
This was far beyond Chen Xia's expectations. He originally thought that these two people, being in high positions, would strongly oppose his immigration.
Chen Xia was wrong. The higher the position, the more you can see through some things.
The "Tianjin Incident" was the biggest loss suffered by the Chen family. Every time an incident happened before, wasn't it a time for Chen Xia to "make extra money"?
For example, the Wing Lung Bank case, the Lilai Pharmaceutical arson case, the Lansha City explosion case, the Zhou family massacre case, etc.
The Li family has some power in the mainland, but they definitely don't have enough money. What's more, their most valuable "Mingzhong Pharmaceutical Factory" has been burned down by him, so they can't make any money from it.
On the contrary, it was the Four Seasons Group that lost a huge amount of money. During those days of suspension of work and production, they actually lost a lot of money.
Even if there was no shutdown, in the few months that Chen Xia was away, Four Seasons Group adopted a "conservative strategy", with no expansion and no additional investment, which meant that it lost a lot of money in the business world.
The only benefit is that the profits of the past few years have been transferred out, but this was originally the Chen family's money.
Chen Shuqin was very annoyed with Li Jiancheng, one of the top ten richest men in Hong Kong, who was behind the plot.
According to Li Xiang's confession, Mingzhong Pharmaceutical Factory was purchased with the funding from the Li family in Hong Kong. At that time, most of the 50 million funds came from Hong Kong, accounting for 60% of the shares.
The remaining 40% of the shares are owned by the Li family, who invested 10 million yuan in it, which meant that the Li family had to sell everything they had.
No wonder Li Xiang later wanted to deal with Chen Xia directly. This was because he had provoked Chen Xia and was desperate.
According to Li Xiang's later confession, letting the Li family set up a pharmaceutical factory and use their connections in the mainland and local protectionism to counterfeit pumpkin vine drugs was actually the intention of Li Jiancheng of Hong Kong.
According to their agreement, these medicines were even prepared to be exported to Hong Kong and then sold at Watsons at a low price. This would not only hit Four Seasons Group's industries in the mainland, but also Hong Kong's Longfeng Pharmacy.
Perhaps it was to escape punishment, or perhaps it was the truth, Li Xiang also confessed that it was Li Jiancheng who came up with the idea of killing Chen Xia.
In short, all the bad things were Li Jiancheng's idea, and he, Li Xiang, was just an executor and played the role of a younger brother.
Of course, this information was blocked in mainland China and was not allowed to be disclosed to the public. After all, this involved another of Hong Kong's top ten richest men. Before 1997, stability was paramount.
Chen Xia also agreed with this point, so in the next six months he behaved well and did not cause trouble for Li Jiancheng.
But now the hype has passed and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. It’s time to have some tea with “Uncle Li” and ask for a big red envelope for the Spring Festival.
Thinking of this, Chen Xia picked up some immigration documents and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Having lived two lives, he never dreamed that one day he would become a member of the "immigrant army", and at the same time, he felt a little aggrieved.
Over the years, he believes that he has made certain contributions to the mainland.
Maybe he has some ulterior motives, but those more than 100,000 industrial workers have really helped solve employment problems and created foreign exchange.
Even those patented drugs are sold at only one-tenth of the price abroad, which has helped attract international pharmaceutical giants to invest and set up factories in the mainland.
This is also a pure heart.
As a result, due to some people and some things, he suddenly became a "sinner", which made him very unwilling and aggrieved...
