Chapter 199 Invitation to the National Day Ceremony in 1978!
Looking at Mr. Shen's dress, Yang Ming knew that it was the style of the country in this era.
Mr. Shen's identity must be extraordinary to be accompanied by Rong Zhijian in person.
"Mr. Yang, I want to talk to you alone."
"No problem."
Yang Ming took a wheelchair to the study on the third floor.
Mr. Shen followed in.
The study door was closed, and the maid Ah Zhu was guarding outside the door.
Looking at Mr. Yang in front of him, Mr. Shen could feel that Mr. Yang was really extraordinary.
Since Yang Ming became the chairman of the Empire Group, his prestige has become more and more powerful. The prestige of these superiors has been there for a long time, and there is no need to deliberately cultivate it.
The Empire Group that Yang Ming is currently managing, the Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Land under the Empire Group, these three major foreign companies have a total scale of hundreds of thousands of people.
Behind these hundreds of thousands of formal employees, there are hundreds of thousands of families and millions of people.
In Hong Kong, half of the people are already working, and they are all related to Yang Ming's company.
This is why Li Jiacheng and Bao Yugang had to sigh that Hong Kong has become Yang Ming's world.
This is related to Yang Ming's swallowing up Wharf Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and Jardine Matheson Land.
"Mr. Shen, please speak."
"Mr. Yang, this is your invitation to the 1978 National Day ceremony."
Invitation to the 1978 National Day ceremony?
This is not simple!
Historically, the representatives who were invited to the National Day ceremony and went to Tiananmen were basically rich or noble!
"A few days ago, I should have come to inform you. At that time, you were dealing with the acquisition of Jardine Matheson Land, so I had to wait until now."
Mr. Shen was a secret envoy sent by the old man.
He came for the old man.
Yang Ming often appeared in the news.
It was also often reported in China.
At the beginning of the year, Mr. Yang of the Empire Group swallowed up Wharf Holdings in one fell swoop, which really shocked many people in China at that time.
A Chinese capital, in Hong Kong, could actually swallow up a British capital of such a large scale?
Mr. Yang of Empire Group acquired Hutchison Whampoa shares from Huifeng Bank and swallowed up the second largest foreign company in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.
This news shocked many people in China!
Especially the old man who had been paying attention to Yang Ming.
Later, after Yang Ming and Empire Group invested in Huifeng Bank and became the major shareholder of Huifeng Bank, the old man knew that Mr. Yang's strength in Hong Kong had far exceeded other Chinese capital in Hong Kong, and even stronger than the largest foreign company in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson Land.
At this time, the old man began to be more interested in Mr. Yang.
Neither the old man nor Mr. Shen expected it.
Yang Ming actually swallowed up Jardine Matheson and Hong Kong Land in one fell swoop in these few days.
From then on, the largest British foreign company in Hong Kong also fell into the hands of Yang Ming and Empire Group.
Mr. Shen went south to Hong Kong on behalf of Mr. Yang, secretly visiting other Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong, while collecting relevant effective information and feeding it back to the old man in Yanjing at any time.
During this period, Mr. Shen has secretly visited Mr. Huo Yingdong, Mr. Bao Yugang, Mr. Dong Haoyun, Mr. Zheng Yutong, and other Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong, and sent them invitations to the National Day in 1978.
In this era, China is still very unfamiliar to many Hong Kong citizens.
China has always been in a state of blockade.
China is not familiar with the outside world, and the outside world is not familiar with the domestic world!
Hong Kong is the intersection of China and the West.
Even so, many Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong do not know much about China.
These Chinese businessmen were naturally shocked when they suddenly received the invitations to the National Day in 1978 from China.
Some plan to go to China to take a look.
Some will not go for the time being.
Historically, the National Day in 1978 widely invited representatives of wealthy businessmen from overseas, even Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and representatives from all walks of life to Yanjing to attend the National Day ceremony.
There are more than 800 names on the list in total.
Most of these people on the list are representatives of wealthy businessmen from Nanyang.
In addition, there are representatives of wealthy people from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
There are more than 30 representatives from Hong Kong who went to Yanjing to participate.
In history, the most famous ones include Li Jiacheng, chairman of Changkang Industrial Group.
Dong Haoyun, chairman of Orient Overseas Shipping.
Hu Yingxiang, chairman of Hopewell Holdings.
Chen Detai, chairman of Dachang Real Estate.
Zheng Yutong, chairman of New World Development.
Chen Zengxi, Hang Lung Properties.
Guo Desheng, Sun Hung Kai Properties.
. . . .
These are all predators of Chinese capital in Hong Kong.
When Yang Ming participated in the auction of the Murray Building plot, he had seen them all.
In addition, when Yang Ming acquired Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa, these families also sent congratulatory cards, invitation cards and valuable gifts.
There are several special people among them.
Yang Ming has not yet contacted them.
One is Mr. Huo Yingdong.
Mr. Huo is not simple in Hong Kong, nor in Macau, and his relationship with the country is even more complicated.
However, Mr. Huo is usually very low-key.
In the Hong Kong Chinese Capital, basically, there is little news about him.
Yang Ming knows that Mr. Huo is indeed not simple, and most importantly, he has very close relations with the mainland.
Historically, in 1978, China invited representatives of Hong Kong Chinese to participate in the National Day, and Huo Yingdong went to Yanjing openly and took a train for more than 20 hours to Yanjing.
Like other Chinese, even if they wanted to go to Yanjing, they went there secretly, in addition to not wanting the Y country people to think that they were involved with China.
These capitalists also want to see what China is like first?
Hong Kong is a city with a population of more than 4 million. When it develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably be restricted.
But what about China?
In 1978, the population of China was 964 million, nearly 1 billion people.
What is the concept?
In addition to being the world's most populous country, the population of Hong Kong is really too different from that of China.
It means that as long as there is a population, it must be a huge market.
In the eyes of many Hong Kong people, even those Chinese, China is still extremely poor and backward.
These Chinese representatives later went to Hong Kong for more than 30 people. Except Huo Yingdong who went to participate openly, the others went to China quietly in various ways.
Historically, the representatives of Chinese capital who went there included Li Jiacheng.
Li Jiacheng left his hometown Chaocheng in 1939 and went to Hong Kong for 39 years. The first time he set foot in China was to go to Yanjing.
That time, it accumulated very important relationships for Li Jiacheng's later development in China.
Now Yang Ming has completely replaced Li Jiacheng, and Li Jiacheng's luck has been taken away by Yang Ming.
Yang Ming's strength is more than ten times that of Li Jiacheng in history.
Yang Ming held this red invitation letter for the National Day ceremony in 1978, and for some reason, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
In his previous life, Yang Ming grew up in China and had a deep affection for China.
Later, he spent most of his time abroad, and even engaged in those illegal businesses, he always remembered that he was a descendant of Yan and Huang.
In his previous life, he could not help China.
At that time, it was the 21st century, and basically, the development pattern at home and abroad had been stabilized.
It was not like now.
It is still 1978!
He can change a lot!
"Mr. Yang, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Shen seemed to fall into silence when he saw Yang Ming holding the invitation letter.
What Mr. Shen was most worried about was that Yang Ming had no feelings for China. If that was really the case, it would be difficult for the old man to invite Yang Ming to come back to China.
Mr. Shen was also speculating.
Yang Ming, a Chinese, was able to swallow up Wharf & Co., Hutchison Whampoa, invest in Huifeng Bank, and swallow up Jardine Matheson. Could he have a close relationship with Country Y?
If Country Y didn't support him from behind, how could Yang Ming, a Chinese, swallow up these British companies so easily?
This is what Mr. Shen was worried about.
"Mr. Shen, I suddenly felt a little emotional when I saw this invitation to the National Day ceremony. I was born and raised in Hong Kong, and have always been exposed to Western culture and education. After all, I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and I have the blood of the Yellow Emperor flowing in my body. I have always wanted to go back to China to take a look, and now I finally have the opportunity. I couldn't help but feel a little emotional just now."
"Mr. Yang, so that's the case."
At this point, Mr. Shen was finally relieved.
It seems that Mr. Yang has feelings for China, so Mr. Shen is relieved.
