Chapter 1398 Asian Games?

For Yin Jun, among the richest people in Hong Kong, the most powerful one is Mr. Huo.

Although the future richest man will be Li Chaoren, Li Chaoren's aura is completely different from Mr. Huo.

When ordinary people get along with Li Chaoren, they will only feel his elegant temperament, but Mr. Huo can make people feel powerful without speaking.

Even when Mr. Huo was most severely suppressed by the British, no one in Xiangjiang dared to look down on Mr. Huo.

This is true even for the British. They only dare to embarrass Mr. Huo in official matters. In private, many people have a good relationship with Mr. Huo.

With Yin Jun's current status, drinking tea with Mr. Huo would still be a bit nervous.

However, Mr. Huo obviously admires Yin Jun very much. He has praised Yin Jun since the first meeting. He also fully supports Yin Jun in everything he does.

This time he called Yin Jun over. Naturally, Mr. Huo had something to discuss with Yin Jun.

"Our hotel business is very good. Many foreign guests come to Guangdong and want to stay with us. The occupancy rate is now as high as 80%." Mr. Huo first talked about the White Swan Hotel, "It is estimated that by the end of the year, It should rise to about 90%.”

Yin Jun didn't know much about the hotel industry, but the occupancy rate of 80% seemed high when he thought about it.

90%, then you have to be at the peak of your madness to have this data, right?

Yin Jun had seen the grand scene of the White Swan Hotel in his previous life.

As the first five-star joint venture hotel in China, the White Swan Hotel was almost crowded on the first day it opened, and even the toilet paper was taken away.

"Congratulations to Mr. Huo!" Yin Jun said with a smile, "With such a good start in business in the mainland, it can be regarded as setting a benchmark for Guangdong."

"I don't care about business or anything like that. The key is to help my compatriots." Mr. Huo said with a smile.

He told the truth.

The White Swan Hotel is invested by three parties. Although he occupies the majority, Mr. Huo has already agreed that all the profits from the past few years will be fed back to the Guangdong Municipal Government, allowing them to build more supporting facilities in the surrounding area, including roads. etc.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Bao's hotel in Huajing has already started groundbreaking, right?" Mr. Huo suddenly asked.

"I heard that it is already under construction, but the speed is not fast, and it is not half completed yet." Yin Jun was impressed by this.

"He's not in a hurry." Mr. Huo took a sip of the old duck soup, put down the soup cup, and said to Yin Jun: "Did you know that Guo Hezhen is also planning to build a Shangri-La Hotel in Huajing?"

"I don't know." Yin Jun said in surprise while eating the hibiscus bun, "Why, is he also planning to officially enter the mainland?"

Robert Kuok is the richest man in Malaysia and a frequent visitor to the top five in the Hong Kong rich list in the future.

His eldest son is the man who almost married Deng Lijun in his previous life.

If Teresa Teng really married into the Guo family, then I am afraid that Teresa Teng would not have died young.

But now that she has become a canary, Teresa Deng may not be happy anymore.

The so-called gains and losses are really destined.

People in China are not very familiar with Guo Hezhen, but if you talk about his two major companies, everyone will suddenly realize that they belong to him!

The first one is Kerry Group. The most important brand of Kerry Group is called Arowana.

It is the largest grain and oil brand in China that was 1:1:1 and then criticized for false propaganda.

The second one is the Shangri-La Hotel mentioned by Mr. Huo just now.

This hotel is a famous chain of five-star hotels. In the future, there will be many hotels in China, basically in big cities. It also belongs to Guo Hezai.

Yin Jun used the term "officially entering the mainland" because after the young man came to Xiangjiang, he heard a lot about Guo Hezai.

Robert Kuok has a very good relationship with the mainland and is a businessman who loves the mainland.

His father was a patriotic businessman. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was Robert Kuok's father who led the overseas Chinese in Malaysia to actively donate to the country.

Influenced by his father, Guo Hezao knew from an early age that he was a Chinese and had the blood of the Chinese nation.

So when the mainland was in trouble, he gave a lot of help.

In the 1970s, life was really getting difficult, and the supply of sugar had been exhausted. People in the foreign trade and economic circles turned to Guo Hezai for help.

As the sugar king of Asia, Robert Kuok quickly helped buy 300,000 tons of emergency sugar from Brazil without saying a word, and at the lowest price.

Even seeing the special difficulties in China, when he was doing sugar futures in those years, he also brought funds from the mainland to do it, which made the mainland make a lot of money.

These kindnesses were kept in the hearts of the mainland, which was the most important reason why Robert Kuok's Arowana aggressively entered the mainland market without encountering any administrative obstacles.

Otherwise, a super behemoth like COFCO would never be willing to let a foreign company, even a Chinese company, ride on its head.

Originally, Yin Jun thought that Arowana should be the first to enter the mainland, and then it was the Shangri-La Hotel's turn.

Unexpectedly, it was the Shangri-La Hotel.

"Well, he should have such an intention." Mr. Huo smiled, "I'm afraid the Shangri-La Hotel is not his main goal. The mainland is a big agricultural country. If he can obtain the resources of the mainland, his business may be spread all over the world. world."

Mr. Huo was wrong about this.

On the contrary, Robert Kuok wanted to bring his business to the mainland.

Although the mainland is vast and rich in resources, you still have 1.5 billion mouths to eat. Even the Himalayas cannot help but eat.

Therefore, Guo Hezai has long thought about entering the people's livelihood food, grain and oil industry. Although he cannot get rich instantly, it will still be a very good business after long-term accumulation.

But Yin Jun didn't want to talk about it, and Mr. Huo wasn't someone who cared about other people's business.

"Everyone has started to take action. Aren't you going to do something else in the mainland?" Mr. Huo asked the question he wanted to ask the most today.

"Didn't I do enough?" Yin Jun laughed dumbly, "If it weren't for such a big situation in Xiangjiang, I'm afraid I would be Mr. Huo yesterday."

Mr. Huo also smiled and nodded.

Although Yin Jun is young, he is very independent, responsible and thoughtful.

He has established two industrial parks in the mainland, employing more than 20,000 workers, and has an industry worth billions of yuan. He is now the first person to invest in the mainland.

For such a big business, Yin Jun did not place it in Xiangjiang, but in the mainland. Of course, the Xiangjiang government was not satisfied.

However, Yin Jun also has an employment scale of more than 30,000 people in Xiangjiang. He is also the company with the largest number of employees in Xiangjiang. His influence is very strong, and the Xiangjiang government cannot touch him.

Besides, there is also MacLehose helping Yin Jun.

In addition, since last year, the new Governor Youde has not been familiar with the land, and Xiangjiang has fallen into the largest real estate and land crisis, plus a stock market crisis.

Youde and the government officials could only go everywhere to put out the fire. It was too late to ask for help from Yin Jun. How could they bother to fight against Yin Jun?

In fact, they may have the intention of settling scores later.

But they don't know that this is their last chance.

When the negotiations ended more than a year later, China had completely laid the foundation for taking back Hong Kong. The British could no longer dominate Hong Kong, and they naturally lost their control over Yin Jun.

As his thoughts passed, Yin Jun heard Mr. Huo say again, "Let's talk about investment later. I think you can develop other industries in the mainland. You don't need to limit yourself to those few. There are many opportunities in the mainland. went!"

"I know." The young man nodded.

In the Mainland in the 1980s, it was hard to say for Mainland businessmen, but for overseas businessmen, there was definitely gold everywhere, it was up to you whether you dared to pick it up.

But Yin Jun has his own plan, and now is not the time for him to take action.

"I'm here to see you today, and I want to ask your opinion on something else." Mr. Huo continued.

"You say!"

"Huajing called me yesterday and said they were planning to bid to host the 1990 Asian Games. What do you think?" Mr. Huo said.

"Asian Games?"

"Oh, it's the Asian Games, the Asian version of the Olympic Games." Mr. Huo explained, "What Hua Jing means is to use this opportunity to show the new face of China and let everyone see that China has It’s different from before, and I hope to attract more people to come to China for tourism, investment and business.”

The young man nodded slightly.

This is actually the biggest role of sports meets.

Whether it is the current 1990 Asian Games or the 2008 Olympic Games, what they bring to China is an opportunity to showcase itself.

Historically, it was only after the 1990 Asian Games that more people got to know China, its development, and were willing to do business with China with confidence.

The huge role it plays cannot be explained clearly by simply spending huge sums of money to host the Asian Games. This is a higher-level need.

"You are the person with the most international vision and forward-looking vision. Do you think their ideas can be effective? After all, the Western world is still demonizing us." Mr. Huo said with some uncertainty.

"have!"

Yin Jun nodded seriously, "And the bigger the scale, the better the effect! They will know... Wow, this is what China is like! It's completely different from what we know! After they go back, I will tell the people around me about the real China, thereby gradually changing many people’s impressions.”

"At first, I thought they should save a little more." Mr. Huo smiled, "When you put it this way, it seems that we spent less money, which makes us look poor."

"This is a rare opportunity, but let's fight for the right to host it first." Yin Jun said, "How about it? What are they going to do?"

"I don't know the specifics, but from what they mean, I'm afraid there is a lack of funds for activities." Mr. Huo said, "I am going to unite a group of old guys and donate a sum of money to them. Ah Jun, if you have spare money, donate It’s tens of millions! It’s not easy for them either.”

"good!"

Yin Jun readily agreed.

When Mr. Huo and Yin Jun are as rich as they are, tens of millions are nothing.

If Mr. Huo hadn't known that Yin Jun had borrowed billions of dollars, he might have asked Yin Jun to donate more.

Don't get me wrong, this is not Mr. Huo's arrogance and self-assertion.

With this gentleman’s character, if he asks you to donate more, he will definitely donate more.

He has never been the kind of person who only talks but doesn't do anything, letting others do the work while he hides behind the safety of others.

The young man who drove the small ship back and forth to Nanwan Bay is still as strong as ever even in his old age.

After talking about donating money, Yin Jun said again, "I'd better go to the mainland! It's not convenient for you to go, so I'll go see if I can make any suggestions."

Mr. Huo smiled happily and said, "Okay, you can go over there, I'll rest assured!"

After a pause, he continued, "Ajun, with you as the next generation of Xiangjiang, we old men can feel relieved even if we leave now!"
