Chapter 115 You are not the only one who has chips
"Yesterday morning, someone from the branch found me..."
Guan Fei did not give an answer immediately, but instead talked about other things, slowly talking about the content of the discussion in front of him, which was completely unrelated. ∷
The chief of the Chief Secretary for Administration showed a hint of anger.
"Oh? Did they bring you any new instructions?" MacLeho calmed down and asked with interest in following his words.
"Oh, what else is there? I'm short of money!" Guan Fei sighed long and frowned. "We have worked very hard for more than a year, and the profit is considerable. The total profit has reached 250 million US dollars. This money seems to be a lot, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the huge amount of funds required for construction. Do you know that the domestic work hard for a whole year last year, and the import and export surplus was only 300 million US dollars, and the total foreign exchange reserve was only 900 million US dollars. The domestic worry is so strong that it wishes to immediately generate billions and tens of billions. But we are just a company. Even if we press all the bones into oil, how many cents can it be!"
"So what?" MacLeho looked at each other and said calmly.
"After more than a year of observation, the country has confirmed that to increase foreign exchange income, it is still necessary to expand the production scale of exported goods. To this end, it is planned to establish a large-scale special economic zone in the Shekou area opposite the New Territories. The branch people came to me to talk about this matter..."
Crack.
In the quiet study, a crisp sound of knuckle dislocation suddenly sounded, but the sound of Mai Lihao, who had a gray face, clenched his fists and made too hard.
Zhou Xiaoshan and others were speechless, but Pan Meifeng held back her smile and had a stern face.
Guan Fei did not lie in front of MacLeho. He did look for him in China, so he came to ask for advice on expanding export sales. He also revealed his intention to establish an export special zone in China, and even wanted to undertake the OEM business of the military sub-district. From beginning to end, he did not lie a word.
He just reversed the causal relationship. He listened to the unknowing outsiders, as if he was saying that the mainland was instructing Guan Fei to transfer the company to Shekou and treat Hong Kong as just a channel for import and export!
Although Guan Fei did not answer the Hong Kong government’s plan to establish an electronics industrial park, he actually told the other party: If you want to build an electronics industrial park, then go and do it yourself. I won’t play with you!
What a joke!
The core of the electronic industrial park planned by the Hong Kong government is the existence of Taiyu. Without arcades, portable recorders and other products, how can we bring together the electronic companies that are their own?
Without Taiyu, any plan is just a piece of waste paper, and it’s hard to wipe your butt!
From another perspective, the news of the establishment of the Shekou Special Administrative Region is not just a matter of the withdrawal of the Taiyu Group, but a terrible competitor directly opposite Hong Kong.
Once this special zone is established, the Hong Kong government's attempt to develop the electronics industry will be completely bankrupt, and it will not even be able to maintain the current scale!
These hooks were really powerful and strong, which made MacLeho's chest feel stuffy, and the head of the governor couldn't say a word for a moment.
"but……"
Guan Fei seemed not to see the expressions of the two of them. He lengthened his tone and made a long pause. He spoke again: "I personally think that the advantages of Hong Kong are still greater..."
"Hong Kong certainly has more advantages!"
The Chief Secretary seemed to have caught a straw and immediately blurted out his affirmation, his tone was rapid, wishing that Guan Fei could immediately convince the mainland to change his mind.
This is not something to play with.
Shekou is a small fishing village, smaller than the main island of Hong Kong, but behind it is a whole country, supported by a complete industrial system, with a population of nearly one billion, and it is a big market in itself!
If we hadn't introduced advanced equipment from the West, we could have closed the door and played with our own things - wasn't that the case in the past few decades?
If such a giant joins the foreign trade competition, Hong Kong, a mere little place where power and water supply cannot even be supplied, will be beaten to pieces in the blink of an eye. The UK's attempt to manage Hong Kong will all be shattered.
Unlike the anxiousness of the head of the governor, MacLeho laid his hands on his chin, his face was gloomy, his eyes were suspicious, and he looked at Guan Fei's subtle expression changes without saying a word.
Pan Meifeng's belly was about to burst into laughter, and she struggled to maintain an expressionless posture, enduring it very hard.
After actually facing the senior officials of the Hong Kong government, looking at Guan Fei with a few words, they smashed their wishful thinking and responded passively with their own ideas. There was no difference from ordinary businessmen. The other party's image was originally high in his heart and suddenly collapsed.
It turns out that the so-called arrogance is just the pressure brought by power. When this power is crushed by the same level or even higher level, it is just like this.
Inexplicably, my nervous mood suddenly became relaxed, just like the suffocation that had been pressing on my heart for many years, and it was gone all the time, and every cell on my body seemed to be cheering and singing, and it felt so pleasant.
"Yes, I think so too." Guan Fei nodded and responded quickly, "The mainland has its strengths, Hong Kong has its strengths, and each has its own advantages. As for the export-oriented electronics industry, the mainland has more engineers, but Hong Kong has the benefits of keeping in line with the world, and its knowledge structure is updated, keeping up with the latest technological trends; the mainland has a complete industrial system, precision equipment manufacturing capacity, especially the production of civil precision manufacturing equipment, but it is not enough to meet the needs of thousands of civil electronic manufacturers. Although Hong Kong does not have the ability to manufacture precision equipment, it can buy related equipment from the world, and the update speed is faster; many people in Hong Kong can speak English, read and write English proficiently, and have inherent advantages in mastering the latest technology; Hong Kong people have been engaged in foreign trade product manufacturing for a long time, and are more familiar with European and American consumers' preferences, and their product appearance design capabilities are more in line with the aesthetics of European and American consumers; Hong Kong has a mature production management team, which also has considerable advantages in forming modern enterprises..."
Guan Fei pointed his fingers and compared them one by one. Whenever he talked about the relative advantages of Hong Kong, MacLeho and the head of the Chief Secretary for Administration relaxed a little. At the end, both of them smiled, but they no longer had the initial complacency and confidence to hold the overall situation.
"So, I think the idea of establishing an electronics industrial park in Hong Kong is also a good idea. If necessary, I think it can be supported." Guan Fei concluded at the end.
fart!
If your conditions are not met, you will not support it, right!
Before MacLeho and the others cursed in their stomachs, Guan Fei seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead: "By the way. When I went to visit Mr. Feng Yaojing of Yongheng Bank yesterday, Mr. Wu Bugang from Yonglong Bank was also there. We talked and learned that the Jiayi TV station they invested in was not doing well and there were major problems in terms of funds. After several efforts, there was no improvement. Mr. Wu looked a little discouraged and had the idea of selling the shares. I said at the time that if Jiashi really couldn't hold on, we were willing to take over..."
"This is impossible!" The head of the Chief Secretary for Administration without hesitation and vetoed it. Then he felt it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words, "The establishment of Jiashi was to have a special education TV station in Hong Kong, which was set up to facilitate adults and students in Hong Kong to learn by themselves. When it was established, it stipulated the shareholders and the number of shares. Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. If Mr. Guan intends to invest in Jiashi, he needs to discuss with various shareholders and reach an understanding. Our Hong Kong government is not convenient for us to come forward."
Guan Fei raised his thumb and praised: "Well, it's the worst thing to say! Administrative intervention in the economy is the worst thing. We founded Taiyu Technology in Hong Kong because we saw that Hong Kong's politics is clear and the business atmosphere is good. This is really not easy to deal with, and we don't have much energy to reach an understanding with each shareholder one by one. I think it's better to forget it. Anyway, the mainland is also interested in establishing a TV station. Considering that there is no experience in this area, it is intended to introduce talents from Hong Kong and set up an experimental TV station in the Shekou Special Administrative Region. At that time, the signal tower is higher and the signal strength is strengthened, and it may be possible to receive it clearly on the Hong Kong island, hahaha! But in this way, due to lack of experience, our program production may not comply with Hong Kong's legal norms and lack sufficient supervision. In the long run, it is really not a good thing for the development of TV broadcasting."
Damn!
It's Shekou again!
Haha, that's a big deal!
Can you please stop saying this word?
MacLeho was so tired of it, but Guan Fei's threat was real, and he had to take it seriously.
Why does the Hong Kong government not allow Chinese capital to master TV stations? It is because the promotional effect of TV programs is too strong. Hong Kong is far away from the British mainland, right next to the mainland, and the residents on the island are basically Chinese. The attractiveness of the mother country is already very strong. If the mainland is allowed to speak out on the island at will, it is hard to say who will be the real power in Hong Kong by then.
However, Guan Fei's words are even more threatening.
Shekou is only a few kilometers from the New Territories and only 40 kilometers away from Hong Kong's main island. A high-power TV signal transmitter is enough to cover the entire Hong Kong island area, and even the off-islands are within the signal range. If the mainland really wants to promote Hong Kong, what if it doesn't enter Hong Kong, isn't it easy?
Moreover, there are already many pro-Chinese media on the island. Wen Hui Po, Ta Kung Pao, etc. are not honestly abiding by Hong Kong laws. Just under your own eyes, it is more convenient to control it, which is much better than letting yourself go outside...
MacLeho's thoughts changed drastically.
After being hit by Guan Fei with a combination of punches, his expected goal was greatly reduced, and he no longer had a comprehensive control of the situation. The idea of playing with Taiyu Technology in his palm began to become realistic and no longer had unrealistic luxury.
From beginning to end, he had no doubts about Guan Fei having deep connections in the mainland.
The information is very clear. Whether Guan Fei came from the mainland or through a heavily guarded border guard checkpoint is strange because it is not instructed by the mainland's top leaders, or it is cross-gover of administration and the military's connections are possible. Over the past year, Guan Fei has sent hundreds of millions of foreign exchange to the mainland. This position is so rich that he can still hold a high position. This signal once again confirms that he has a large backstage. Subsequently, provincial and ministerial officials from Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch took the initiative to visit him, which further confirmed that Guan Fei's energy is so great. If he dares not say too much, he can speak directly to the mainland's top leaders and make suggestions. There is no doubt that he can do it directly.
It is precisely because of this that he did not think that Guan Fei was intimidating at all, but seriously considered the conditions that Guan Fei said.
Yes, he clearly affirmed that taking over Jiayi TV and occupies a considerable share of the electronic industrial parks to be established in the future is a condition for Guan Fei to open it.
Now that the ball has been on his side, the question is, is there any need for him to bargain or refuse flatly?
The focus of the weighing is the blueprint for Hong Kong's economic development. Should the electronics industry be determined as an important link? Whether the Hong Kong government can get enough benefits from it in the future will not shake the Hong Kong government's status; and whether he can benefit from this series of exchanges in person; can the interest groups he represents get corresponding returns in it...
