"I'm willing to take this risk for this possibility. Even if we lose in the end, it doesn't matter. At most, I'll lose a little over 100 billion, which I, Shen Dong, can afford."
"Hehe, you could say that. My fate and the Inland region's are intertwined. If the Inland region's economy succeeds, our Tengfei Group will become the world's number one company. If the Inland region's economy fails, our Tengfei Group will also perish."
"Why have the Americans tried to kill me time and time again? It's because they don't want me to cooperate with the mainland."
"Gentlemen, those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts. We are all descendants of the Chinese nation, with the blood of the Yellow Emperor flowing in our veins. You don't actually think that just because you've joined the American nationality, they'll really consider you one of their own, do you? Don't be ridiculous."
"No one in the world will respect someone who betrays their own nation and country. Their end result will be disastrous, and they may even be infamous for eternity."
"Therefore, I sincerely advise you all to remember where your roots are."
"I was just speaking from the heart today, and I've said a bit too much. Please forgive me."
Shen Dong bowed to the audience and then walked off the stage.
"Clap clap clap clap clap"
Du Yuxin was the first to applaud.
Immediately afterwards, enthusiastic applause rang out in the hall.
Shen Dong's inclination is all too clear: he will spare no effort to support the economic development of the inland areas and live and die with them.
Du Yuxin said loudly, "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your explanation, and thank you to Tengfei Group for your trust in our inland region. Our Xia Hua Society will be forming a team in a week to conduct investment research in the inland region. As the president of Xia Hua Society, I sincerely hope that everyone will actively sign up."
"Alright, next, let's invite Mr. Huo Yingdong to the stage. He will announce something that is very important to both the mainland and Hong Kong Island."
Amid applause, Huo Yingdong stepped onto the stage and said, "We all know that Hong Kong Island has been under the rule of the United States for decades, with the financial and commercial sectors dominated by American conglomerates. Many local Hong Kong companies have been oppressed by them to varying degrees. Our Huo family, in particular, couldn't even buy a piece of land for twenty years. Of course, we are better off than Mr. Shen, as we haven't been attacked by their rockets."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Everyone laughed.
Huo Yingdong said, "Hong Kong Island will soon be returned to the mainland. In order to prevent the American conglomerates from resorting to desperate measures and looting Hong Kong Island's wealth before leaving, Sir Li, Mr. Shen, and I jointly proposed to establish a Xia Guo Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong Island, composed of our local entrepreneurs."
"The purpose of this chamber of commerce is very simple: to unite the strength of the entire Hong Kong Island business community to jointly deal with the US conglomerate and ensure that everyone's legitimate interests are not infringed."
What do you all think?
The businessmen below the stage shouted in unison, "Good!"
Following recommendations from everyone, Huo Yingdong was appointed as the president of the Xia Guo Chamber of Commerce, Li Chaoren as the vice president, and Shen Dong, Li Zhaoshan, and Guo Shengli as secretaries.
Du Yuxin and Huo Yingdong had already prepared the agreement to establish the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce, and everyone went up on stage to sign it.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet reached its climax.
After signing the papers, everyone toasted and drank heartily.
Five Hong Kong business leaders, including Fok Ying-tung, Li Ka-shing, Li Siu-shan, Kwok Sheng-li, and Sham Tung, got together.
Li Zhaoshan exclaimed, "Mr. Shen is truly remarkable to have made over 20 billion US dollars from 15 billion US dollars in the Japanese stock market."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you flatter me. I was just lucky."
Li Zhaoshan said, "With the stock market crash in the United States, the sharp drop in gold prices, and now the stock market crash in Japan, you've succeeded three times already. Once is luck, but three times in a row is a testament to your strength. Mr. Shen, you own 96% of Hang Seng Bank's shares. I wonder if we have any opportunity to buy some?"
Shen Dong asked, "Is Mr. Li interested in Hang Seng Bank?"
Li Zhaoshan nodded and said, "Of course."
Guo Shengli said, "Not only President Li, but we are all very interested."
Shen Dong asked, "What price can you offer?"
Li Zhaoshan had clearly considered this issue beforehand, and said, "I can increase the price by twenty percent from the market price."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "This price is not bad. To be honest, I will indeed sell my shares in Hang Seng Bank, keeping only 51% of them."
Li Ka-shing said, "Mr. Shen, we are all members of the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce. You wouldn't disregard us, would you?"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Dong said, "Once Hang Seng Bank's shares reach their peak, I will divide 45% of the shares into four parts, and everyone will bid for them through a sealed auction. Whoever bids the highest price will become a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank."
Guo Shengli gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Shen, you really know how to do business."
Shen Dong said, "Maintaining maximum profit is the basic code of conduct for us businessmen. I'm just doing routine operations."
The establishment of the Xia Guo Chamber of Commerce caused a huge stir in the entire Hong Kong Island business circle.
Numerous local businesses on Hong Kong Island have joined in.
With the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce backing them, they at least have the power to fight back when they are bullied.
For the American conglomerate, the Xia Guo Chamber of Commerce is rather unfriendly.
Coca-Cola Company Asia Headquarters
Allen's face was extremely gloomy.
Since last month, Coca-Cola's sales in major inland southern cities have dropped significantly.
An investigation revealed that Tengfei's juice had stolen their market share.
It is estimated that within two months, Tengfei Juice will be available nationwide, which poses a huge threat to Coca-Cola.
Now things are getting chaotic in Hong Kong too. Local tycoons have joined together to set up a Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is clearly aimed at the American conglomerates.
With the situation developing to this point, not only American officials in the government, but even he, a businessman, felt that America was declining and its power was waning.
Besides Allen, there were more than a dozen representatives from the American financial groups in the conference room.
Everyone looked very solemn.
Allen asked, "Ms. Hera, has the government called Li Ka-shing?"
"We've already fought him. Li Ka-shing is a cunning old fox; he hasn't revealed any information."
Hera was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a business suit, exuding a powerful aura.
As the CEO of Carmel Financial, Hera certainly has the right to be assertive.
Putting aside other things, during the stock market crashes in the United States and Japan alone, Hera led a group of subordinates to earn $2.4 billion for Carmel Financial Corporation.
