Chapter 169 Unite all universities in Hong Kong!
In the 1980s and 1990s, the British Hong Kong government allowed Hong Kong to take its own course, and even guided it maliciously, causing Hong Kong's subsequent development to be poisoned by real estate and finance. Prior to this, Hong Kong's manufacturing and technology were among the best in Asia. Now that Li Zetian has come to Hong Kong, he cannot sit idly by. Change Hong Kong through your own influence, create wealth at the same time, and use Hong Kong as your base to open up the Asian market!
Hong Kong's geographical location is excellent, and it is indeed Li Zetian's best choice to establish a foothold in Asia.
At this moment, HSBC Chairman Shen Bi returned to the company with a sad face. Immediately, he immediately held a board meeting and told Li Zetian that he wanted to acquire shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company.
"The first conversation with Chronos Li did not go well," Shen Bi said, shaking his head. "He was very dissatisfied with my quotation."
The chartering king is also a director of HSBC. He is very concerned about this matter. Li Jiacheng is his good friend and helped him fight against the power of British capital in the Wharf War. Therefore, he strongly agrees with selling the shares of Hutchison Whampoa Company to Li Jiacheng, "Mr. Shen, what is your quotation?" he asked hurriedly.
"17 Hong Kong dollars per share."
Everyone who chartered the boat was stunned for a moment. This price obviously exceeded the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa.
"How much does Chronos Li want to pay?"
"I didn't say how specific it was. I just said that I would wait until HSBC is sincere before talking to him." Shen Bi stopped at this point, frowned, and hesitated, "He seems to know the agreement reached between HSBC and Li Jiacheng..."
Other directors all know that Shen Bi plans to sell Hutchison Whampoa's shares to Li Jiacheng at a low price. First, he values Li Jiacheng's future status in Hong Kong. Second, he wants to please mainland China. After Hong Kong's return, HSBC can make a smooth transition and operate normally.
"Mr. Shen, I think that no matter how much Chronos Li pays, we should sell Hutchison Whampoa to Li Jiacheng!" the charter king said.
Shen Bi stared at him and motioned to the chartered king to continue.
"First of all," the chartering king pondered for a moment and said, "Li Jiacheng is a Hong Konger. He has been in Hong Kong for many years and has a huge network of contacts. As for his ability, everyone has seen it. The Yangtze River Industrial Group has developed into one of the top companies in Hong Kong. A big company with amazing performance. Moreover, Li Jiacheng is one of the Hong Kong businessmen. Let's talk about a few people who can meet and talk with 'Deng', and he has won the support of BJ. On the other hand, Chronos Li, although he has a lot of assets, he is an American His influence in Hong Kong is far less than that of Li Ka-shing. For long-term planning, HSBC should consider Li Ka-shing!"
When Shen Bi heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. He felt that what the charter king said was quite reasonable. HSBC's roots are in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. At present, Li Jiacheng is obviously a suitable candidate.
Other directors also began to express their opinions at this time.
Many directors agreed with the charter king's words.
However, one director raised two questions. He said: "What will happen if the talented and beautiful Li Zetian also goes to Hong Kong or even the United Kingdom to develop? In addition, the charter king said that Chronos Li is an American, so why does Li Jiacheng Not Canadian?”
Everyone was silent for a moment.
The director then said: "Everyone, I chatted with Chronos Li's father, Li Chengzhi, and he told me that during the Spring Festival next year, his family will return to mainland China to visit relatives. Of course, the family also includes Chronos Li. Just imagine. , when a person like him returns to the mainland, what will be the attitude of BJ and Deng? Maybe you don’t know that Chronos Li once composed a Chinese song at Harvard University. The song is called " "My Chinese Heart", he sang at Harvard University's Chinese New Year Gala. After one song, all the Chinese present burst into tears!!!" After a pause, he continued, "This song fully reflects How can BJ not know about Chronos·Li’s patriotism? Should BJ value Li Jiacheng more, or Chronos·Li? There is no doubt that it is the latter!!!”
Everyone was surprised, and Shen Bi couldn't help but ask: "Mr. James, do you still remember this song? Can you sing a few lines? Let us feel it."
"Okay, then I'll just sing a few lines..."
The director nodded, pondered for a moment, and sang: "
Rivers and mountains are only in my dreams
We haven’t been close to our motherland for many years
But it can't be changed no matter what
my China Heart
Even though I'm wearing a dress
My heart is still Chinese
…
Yangtze River Great Wall Huangshan Yellow River
It weighs a thousand pounds in my heart
anytime, anywhere
As dear as my heart
blood flowing in heart
The surging voice of China
Even if I was born in a foreign country, I can't change it.
my China Heart"
Although there are foreigners among the directors of HSBC who cannot understand Chinese, there are also many who can. Like Shen Bi, they have lived in Hong Kong for a long time and even gave themselves Chinese names. After listening to this song, they All expressed surprise.
Among them, the one who touched me the most was the Charter King. He himself is a patriotic overseas Chinese and has an extremely deep attachment to the motherland! In his previous life, he enthusiastically supported the construction of the motherland. In addition to donating huge sums of money to build Zhaolong School, Zhongxing Middle School, and Ningbo University in his hometown, he also built BJ Zhaolong Hotel, SH Jiaotong University Bao Zhaolong Library, and Bao Yugang Library. Zhaolong and Bao Yugang International Student Scholarships, etc.
At this moment, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. This song seemed to sing to his heart, which greatly changed his impression of Li Zetian.
Shen Bi said at this time: "There is no doubt that this song sings the aspirations of countless patriotic Chinese people. BJ will definitely look at Chronos Li differently. What's more, he is still the richest man in China and has huge influence!"
"Indeed, Chronos·Li may be more valued by the BJ side!"
…
At this time, Li Zetian was planning to build a Hong Kong Science and Industrial Park with Zhetian University as the core.
He discussed with Li Chengzhi and said, "Establish a Hong Kong Science and Industrial Park to combine enterprise production, schools, and scientific research institutions, that is, 'industry, academia, and research', and give full play to their respective advantages to form a powerful advanced system integrating research, development, and production, and The comprehensive advantages are reflected in the operation process. The Silicon Valley in the United States was developed based on this model! At present, Taiwan has established the Hsinchu Science and Industrial Park, but there is no movement in Hong Kong. I think we should now unite the Hong Kong business community and universities to find The British Hong Kong government negotiates!”
Li Chengzhi nodded and said: "Well, your idea is indeed very good, but most of Hong Kong's business circles are real estate and financial giants, and they may not be interested in the Science Industrial Park."
Li Zetian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Let's unite with the universities in Hong Kong. They will definitely be very interested. As long as the British Hong Kong government is willing to grant land, even if we build it ourselves! There will be more and more companies under my name. We will open a branch in Hong Kong in the future. Hong Kong has many famous universities, such as the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They rank among the top 10 universities in Asia, and the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology rank among the top 30 universities in the world. The Chinese University of Hong Kong ranks among the top 50 universities in the world. In addition to these three universities, there are many well-known universities in Hong Kong, which shows that Hong Kong is full of talents. However, it is a pity that there are no good technology companies in Hong Kong, and many people go abroad to work . If I establish a science industrial park, I can absorb these talents into my company!!!"
As he talked, Li Zetian felt as if all the talents in Hong Kong had fallen into the trap and been caught by him.
So, on that day, Li Zetian and Li Chengzhi invited all universities in Hong Kong to discuss plans.
These universities still gave Li Zetian a lot of face. At 9 o'clock the next day, the principals of major schools rushed to Zhetian University for a meeting. For a time, it caused a sensation in Hong Kong.
At the meeting, Li Zetian took the stage to talk about the benefits of "industry-university-research" to schools, enterprises and the development of Hong Kong as a whole, and called on everyone to join forces to request the British Hong Kong government to establish a Hong Kong Science and Industrial Park. Li Zetian promised everyone that Microsoft, Intel, and Fire Flamingo, Netflix, Galaxy Networks, Sun Computer Systems, Genentech and Roche Pharmaceuticals will all settle in the Science Industrial Park and cooperate with the hospital. The companies will invest in projects and the school will help the companies develop projects, which not only allows students There are opportunities to display talents and learning, improve the quality of university teaching, and allow schools and students to profit from it. At the same time, it also allows companies to speed up research and development at a lower cost, mutual benefit!
Of course the major schools agreed with this kind of good thing, which had no harm at all. They even reached an agreement at the meeting and formed the Zhetian Science and Industrial Park Alliance to put pressure on the British Hong Kong government with the power of the group.
