Chapter 411 Everything Has a Cause

After Vice Premier Zeng and the Central Committee members arrived, the organizers of the meeting were introduced, and then there was a series of introductions. Fan Wubing did not listen to these contents seriously. He just stood up and smiled at everyone when he was introduced. After a while, he posed for the reporters to take pictures.

As a result, the frequency of the flash immediately increased dozens of times, and the hall was filled with bright lights. Fan Wuyi's eyes were a little blurred, and it took him a long time to return to normal.

"The media reporters in Shanghai are really too enthusiastic." Fan Wubing realized that he had stolen the limelight from most people, and he couldn't help but smile a little and said to Li Yunheng.

Li Yunheng is still a little surprised by Fan Wubing's fame. Although he is also a figure who has attracted much media attention in China, because his father Li Jianxi has always kept a low profile, their children rarely appear in public in front of the media. Unless they are surrounded by paparazzi, they will leak out one or two blurry photos. Once the information is exposed, the company will also use personal connections to eliminate the impact.

With the power of Samsung Group in South Korea, it is still able to do these things with ease.

Therefore, it was a little strange when Li Yunheng saw that Fan Wubing did not reject this kind of life exposed to the flashlight at all.

Fan Wubing saw that Li Yunheng was a little puzzled, so he explained to her, "In China, fame can be effectively managed as a resource. The greater your reputation, the more various resources you can obtain, and the more you can do things." The more convenient it is. Chinese people have always been obsessed with celebrities, so there are many brochures with famous quotes on them, and they are very popular.”

Li Yunheng nodded and said, "I understand, just like when I was young, my father often asked us to recite the Analects of Confucius, which is what Confucius said. My father said that Chinese people like to immerse themselves in history to make excuses for themselves, so I like it very much Studying what the ancients said and doing lacks a forward-looking perspective and the courage to make progress.”

"A summer insect cannot speak of ice." How could Fan Wubing allow the stick to arrange the Chinese people? He shook his head and said, "A bug that lives in summer has a short period of fame. It dies before winter, so it has never seen what ice looks like. You Koreans have never seen the splendid culture of China." , naturally it is not clear why Chinese civilization can be passed down for so long. This is just like the bugs in summer. Therefore, it is not easy for any outsider to objectively evaluate a thing, because you have no position and can only do so. Seeing the appearance but not understanding the reasons behind the appearance.”

"It sounds a bit hard to understand." Li Yunheng shook his head. She is a bit younger. Still unable to understand these deeper issues.

Naturally, Fan Wubing couldn't say that Li Yunheng was too short-sighted. After all, she is just Korean.

After a while.

Fan Heng wandered here. He saw another strange child next to Fan Wubing. I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. I thought this son was good at everything. It’s just that I changed my girlfriend too quickly. So much so that I met him once. He can find different girls accompanying him. I didn't want to ask any more questions.

But this time Fan Wubing took the initiative to introduce Li Yunheng to his father Fan Heng. "Dad. This little girl is the daughter of Chairman Lee Kun-hee of South Korea's Samsung Group. Miss Li Yunheng." Then he introduced to Li Yunheng. "This is my father. Fan Heng, acting governor of Jiangnan Province."

"Hello, uncle." Li Yunheng bowed to Fan Heng respectfully.

"Hello, Miss Li." Fan Heng heard. Only then did I realize that this little girl was quite well-connected. Although South Korea's Samsung cannot play in the United States now. But its reputation is still very loud in mainland China. Especially electronic products. It has a certain market share in every province and city. It is in Jiangnan Province. There are also many local sellers under the Samsung Group.

Li Yunheng was also a little careful, otherwise he would not have called him uncle, but would have called him Governor Fan.

Fan Wubing quietly introduced to Fan Heng the situation of Li Yunheng's arrival in China, and then briefly talked about his cooperation with Samsung, and then suggested to his father Fan Heng, "You can also bring them over there. It is better to invest in building a factory or something than to just provide financial support and attract countless gossips. This can be regarded as a political achievement in attracting foreign investment. "

"That's not impossible. Are there any good projects?" Fan Heng nodded and asked.

There are indeed no large-scale foreign companies in Jiangnan Province. If Samsung can establish a factory in Jiangnan Province, not to mention how much economic benefits it can generate, it can at least reverse the relatively unfavorable backwardness of Jiangnan Province in terms of image.

Fan Heng also understood his son's meaning very well, so he thought about it seriously and realized that he really couldn't ignore this matter. The relationship in front of him could be put to good use, and his son's foreign business partners could also make good use of it. It can be used, so that when the zeros and zeros are added together, it becomes quite a bit of power.

Don’t neglect doing good deeds because they are small, Fan Heng said to himself, so he looked at Li Yunheng’s

Chang Youyou said, "Miss Li, if you have time, you can go to Jiangnan Province. There are still many landscapes and pleasures there. When the time comes, let Wu Bing accompany you here, and I will pick up the wind for you."

"Thank you, uncle, I will definitely go." Li Yunheng was very happy and bowed to Fan Heng again.

Fan Heng didn't stop here for long. After all, this was a group activity and he was invited, so he talked for a few words and then returned to their place.

This time, Fan Heng came to the Shanghai Municipal Government for a cooperation meeting with some economic organizations in Hong Kong. Not only did he invite many business people, but also leaders from some nearby provinces and cities. A promising Central Committee member like Fan Heng was naturally invited.

On the Hong Kong side, some bosses of large groups and some government officials who were close to the big 6 were invited.

Although there were constant disputes between China and Britain over the return of Hong Kong, and some people were worried that the return in 1997 would not be smooth, most Chinese people could firmly believe that no matter what the purpose was, the Chinese government would unswervingly take back Hong Kong's sovereignty. Just like Deng Xiaoping said, we must take back Hong Kong in 1997, either by sitting on my special train or driving a tank.

Although the Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, wanted to establish a through train, which almost cut off the exchanges between the mainland government and the Hong Kong government, most Hong Kong government officials, especially Chinese officials, were eager to strengthen their ties with the mainland to pave the way for their future return. The financial groups that were deeply rooted in Hong Kong had long been flirting with the mainland government. Whether it was donating to build a library or setting up a foundation, it was nothing more than spending money to avoid disasters, hoping to continue their monopoly in Hong Kong and continue their prosperity for a hundred years.

The relationship between Hong Kong and Shanghai has a long history, especially in financial cooperation.

Stock trading in Hong Kong can be traced back to 1860, when early British businessmen established joint ventures in Hong Kong. Their stock transfers were in the form of private transactions and brokered by middlemen. In 1861, the Hong Kong Brokers Association was officially established and later renamed the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Most of the early transactions were completed on the side of Ice House Street. Brokers exchanged information, including the amount of goods and prices, and then brokers would ride rickshaws to find investors for negotiation. The pace was very slow at that time, and there were not many transactions. The main companies involved were British companies such as HSBC, Landmark, Wharf, Hong Kong Electric, Towngas, Tramways, Taikoo Dockyard, Whampoa Dockyard and Kwan Yick Wharf.

Before liberation, Hong Kong's status as a financial center could not be compared with Shanghai. After the liberation of mainland China, some securities companies and financial practitioners of the Shanghai Stock Exchange began to move to Hong Kong, bringing talents and indispensable funds. Some listed companies also began to move to Hong Kong for listing for various reasons, which promoted the active situation of the Hong Kong stock market.

Take the then large company Jardine Matheson Holdings as an example. Before 1949, Jardine Matheson's main business was concentrated in the Yangtze River Delta Basin. Later, for various reasons, it was determined to be centered in Hong Kong. After recuperation, Jardine Matheson Holdings was listed in Hong Kong in 1961, with 900,000 shares and 16 yuan per share. At that time, the subscription amount was 56 times, and the opening price was more than 31 yuan, which fully witnessed the prosperity of the Hong Kong market at that time.

It can be said that many of the current big financial groups in Hong Kong came from the mainland. In addition, these people are homesick when they are old. After the reform and opening up in recent years, many people have returned to the mainland to invest. The economic cooperation between Shanghai and Hong Kong has become increasingly close.

This exchange activity, both in terms of specifications and scale, is relatively rare in recent years.

As for the purpose of this activity, Fan Wubing also guessed that it was probably to isolate the Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten.

Because Chris Patten once said that he would reform the election system of the Legislative Council. In addition to separating the two councils, canceling all appointed seats, and adding nine functional constituency seats, all incumbents are eligible to vote, making these nine seats directly elected seats in disguise, in order to speed up the pace of democracy in Hong Kong. The mainland government was very dissatisfied with this, pointing out that the reform had not consulted the central government, and declared that the reform would be cancelled after the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong.

Despite strong opposition from the central government, Chris Patten's political reform plan was still successfully passed by the Legislative Council and implemented in the Legislative Council elections in Hong Kong last year. However, the central government indicated that it would give up the through train and would not allow the Legislative Council members elected last year to transition to the SAR Legislative Council.

In this way, the mainland government needs to win over some important officials who can cooperate with its guiding ideology to control the general trend of Hong Kong after 1997, and the local Hong Kong officials who have interests in this also hope to be recognized by the mainland government and continue to enjoy privileges after the transition.

Fan Wubing has reason to believe that as the date of Hong Kong's return in a year approaches, such activities will become more and more frequent.
