When he reached the second floor, Mo Zhexuan met more than a dozen Chinese tycoons from various industries.
There are the very familiar charter kings, Li Zhaoji, Cheng Yutong, Run Run Shaw, Li Jiacheng, Xu Shixun, and Lam Pak-yan...
There were also people I met for the first time: gambling king Stanley Ho, Hopewell Holdings' Wu Ying-sheung, Sun Hung Kai Properties' Kwok Tak-seng, and Wah Kwong Navigation Group's Zhao Cong-yin...
Of course, there was also Li Yulin, the representative of China's Hong Kong agency. After greeting and exchanging a few words, everyone came to a spacious and magnificent private room.
After a while, a professional chef wearing a white hat came in pushing a cart. The Huo family servants on the side hurried to serve the dishes. After each plate of delicious food was served.
The protagonist Huo Yingdong opened a bottle of Guojiao 1949 Moutai liquor. After years of baptism, the bottle had been slightly deformed and turned dark yellow.
Instantly, a rich and refreshing fragrance filled every corner of the room. Most of the Chinese tycoons could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. After all, Chinese people always make deals over the wine table.
"Brother Huo! You've invested a lot of money this time. This fragrance must have been stored for at least thirty years."
The charter king smiled and said that such wine is becoming increasingly rare. It cannot be bought with money, and it also requires a deep connection with China.
"Brother Qi Ran! You guessed it right. This bottle of wine is the state banquet wine from 1949, 34 years ago. Everyone, come and have a taste today."
Huo Yingdong is five years younger than the charter king. Naturally, Huo Yingdong has a higher status in Hong Kong Island than the current richest Chinese, so there is no difference in calling each other brother.
After learning that this bottle of wine was the wine for the founding of the country's state banquet, all the tycoons at the table were ready to taste it carefully, because this was real aged wine.
The dozen or so tycoons present just filled their glasses each, and the bottle of state banquet wine was completely gone. After tasting it, they all gave thumbs up.
While chatting about all sorts of things, toasting each other and eating, the atmosphere became more and more lively. Huo Yingdong, who was sitting at the top seat, also stated the purpose of the invitation.
"Everyone! I'm inviting you all to this dinner today. On the one hand, I want to build relationships, and on the other hand, I want you all to join me in visiting Huaxia next spring. The investment environment there has changed dramatically."
"The White Swan Hotel, which I invested in and built in Guangdong Province in 1980, has been completely completed and is now open for business. The development of Guangdong City is changing with each passing day, and infrastructure construction is also in full swing."
"If everyone is interested, we can go to Guangshi together to have an in-depth visit and inspection."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yulin from Xinhua News Agency next to him said:
"Since the establishment of the Special Economic Zones in 1980, Guangdong Province has significantly transformed the three zones to create a favorable business environment. A series of preferential policies have now been fully implemented. We welcome everyone to invest and build factories there!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Most of those present were real estate tycoons. China was still in the era of guaranteed housing allocation. Did they want to invest in real estate?
"President Li! Most of us are in real estate, and even if we wanted to invest, we'd have no idea where to go. Since the mainland has been reforming and opening up, there will definitely be a need for more and more hotels. I've decided to invest in a hotel in Guangshi."
Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Holdings immediately expressed his thoughts. Later generations knew him as a famous patriotic entrepreneur. He invested in a series of projects including the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway, the Humen Bridge, the Shajiao C Power Plant and the Xiangjiang Huanggang Border Inspection Station, making indelible contributions to the development of China.
In particular, the world-famous Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was first conceived by him. In order to build this bridge, he even fell out with his best friend Li Ka-shing. He is a truly selfless patriotic entrepreneur.
"Brother Hu! Add me in! I also want to contribute." Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Holdings immediately spoke.
"I will also invest in it," Li Ka-shing of Henderson Land Development said shortly afterwards.
"And me," said Kwok Tak-seng of Sun Hung Kai Properties.
“..............”
"I'll do my bit too." Mo Zhexuan rarely drank in this life, and his alcohol tolerance was still not good. He felt a little drowsy after a while, but after the tycoons finished speaking, he still wanted to do his bit.
"Xiaoxuan! We are all in real estate. Your business is so broad, why don't you invest more in China?" Li Jiacheng said with a smile.
"I also think your Fragrant Duck brand can invest in a factory in the Special Economic Zone. Why bother purchasing Call ducks from the Southern Group? That would put you under someone else's control."
Li Guowei is the one who knows Mo Zhexuan's business sector best. He knows that the current situation of Fragrant Duck is that it is controlled by others on the supply side, so he made a suggestion.
“..........”
At this time, Mo Zhexuan was sober. He took a deep look at Li Jiacheng who was stirring up trouble. This old bastard not only did not invest himself, but actually encouraged him to invest in China on a large scale. He was really insidious.
The Hong Kong government still controls Hong Kong right now. Won't your massive investment be met with envy? Last time, Governor MacLehose supported me, and I turned around and invested in Huaxia. What would they think if they found out?
However, what Li Guowei said makes a lot of sense. Investing in building a factory in China can solve the supply problem of fragrant duck. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and investing now can win more favor from China.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision instantly and said solemnly to Li Yulin:
"President Li! My scented ducks require an astronomical number of ducks every month. Do you think I can invest in building a large duck farm and a series of supporting projects in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone?"
"Mr. Mo! No problem! As long as you are interested, I will communicate with Secretary Liang and will definitely cooperate fully at that time." Li Yulin was overjoyed when he heard this. If he could persuade Mo Zhexuan to invest in the mainland, he would definitely have political achievements. The other party's current influence in Hong Kong is really extraordinary.
"Okay! I'll have my people prepare the plan, and I'd like you to review it. We'll go to Guangdong Province for an on-site inspection next year."
Once Mo Zhexuan makes a decision, he will not drag his feet, but will cut the Gordian knot.
It is certain that duck farms will be established in the mainland. It is not known whether Call ducks can survive in the mainland. If not, we can only find a way to change the breed.
The Southern Group is so fucking disgusting. They actually rely on their monopoly position to raise prices drastically. How can this be tolerated?
"It's a small matter! As soon as your plan arrives, I will immediately pass it on to our comrades in Guangdong Province for study. When you go to inspect it next year, we will definitely select a suitable location for you."
Li Yulin said quickly.
