Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island

Therefore, the Governor's call went directly to the Office of the Commissioner of Police.

This ghost chief of police is under tremendous pressure. Under pressure, the entire police force on Hong Kong Island is going crazy.

And this includes the pressure from Su Shaoze. Although he admires Zhang Shihao very much, he is very clear about his position.

He is the richest man on Hong Kong Island and the head of the Su family, the head of the four major families. He is the same type of person as Guo Hongtu.

Zhang Shihao's killing of Guo Hongtu in full view is a provocation to their entire wealthy class.

So Zhang Shihao had to die, and Su Shaoze also arranged for the Lone Wolf Yushield to cooperate with the police on Hong Kong Island in the hunt.

Zhang Shihao stirred up the sensitive nerves of the entire wealthy and powerful class with his own weak power, and he was dying with vigor and vitality!

But for Su Shaoze, love must be vigorously loved!

There was a faint sound of waves outside the window, and looking down at Liu Xiaoli who had been curled up in his arms, entangled with him, Su Shaoze could clearly see some dry tears in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

After all, even though I knew that 330 was the first time, I still seemed a bit rude.

"Can I still get up today?" Su Shaoze looked at the slender eyelashes that trembled from time to time and the eyelids that kept moving, and teasingly stretched out his hand to brush his beautiful long hair.

It caused Liu Xiaoli in her arms to murmur.

"You bully people~"

Liu Xiaoli blushed with embarrassment, she didn't expect that she would explain it to her inexplicably.

To be honest, before coming to Hong Kong Island, Liu Xiaoli thought about this situation.

She is willing to give everything to this man who is the only man who can tempt her and is gentle and considerate.

But the only thing she didn't expect was that this day came so suddenly, which made her feel lost.

Girls are very sensitive at this moment, Su Shaoze knows their thoughts, so he should give them a sense of security as much as possible.

"Okay, no kidding, I will love you well in the future, and I will let everyone know that you are my Su Shaoze's woman."

"Take a good rest today, dress up beautifully tomorrow night, and go to a banquet with me."

"Believe in your charm, it will definitely make the whole banquet eclipsed!"

Su Shaoze gently kissed the back of Liu Xiaoli's hand, and said in a gentle voice.

Chapter 408: The Era of Oligopoly 【Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

As night fell, the fountain square of the Four Seasons Hotel was illuminated by colorful spotlights. A tent like a sail enveloped the entire area. The inside was also brightly lit, and the surrounding pools rippled brightly.

There will be a banquet here tonight.

The host is the Mainland Office, and the invitees are all well-known rich and powerful on Hong Kong Island.

The purpose is also very simple!

Although the return of Hong Kong Island has been confirmed, the time is still ten years away, and the influence of the mainland on Hong Kong Island is limited.

In order to ensure the peaceful return of Hong Kong Island in the future, so as to avoid troubles in the future, the mainland must get the support of some elites on Hong Kong Island.

That's where the banquet came from.

But before yesterday, although the rich and powerful on Hong Kong Island also valued the mainland, it was still the capital who spoke.

A small office on Hong Kong Island is very low-level, and many rich and powerful are just planning to save face, and have no plan to attend in person.

But unexpectedly, what happened to Guo Hongtu this time caused the meaning of this banquet to change.

At the reception, the graceful uniformed waitresses shuttled quickly, and under the tent on the lawn beside it was a long table covered with a white tablecloth, which was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

On both sides, five chefs wearing high hats are adjusting the barbecue equipment. The flames are already burning inside, and there are all kinds of fresh meat and other ingredients on the table next to it.

Although the mainland is not rich, it still needs to save face at such a time, and the compatriots on Hong Kong Island should not underestimate the big brothers in the mainland.

"Hurry up, hurry up, take your seats, the first batch of guests have arrived, cheer up, there must be no mistakes..."

An abrupt voice sounded, and all the waiters and staff present took their positions.

As the host of this banquet, Director Sun from the Mainland Office was standing at the entrance of the hotel to welcome the guests.

"Mr. Liu from Liangxing Construction Company has arrived~."

"Boss Lei from Kowloon Bus has arrived."

"Mr. Zhang from Hualu Real Estate has arrived."

...

It was already seven o'clock in the evening, and many people came to the hotel banquet. They were basically small rich people from Hong Kong Island, who were worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

The real top billionaires have yet to emerge.

But just these people already gave Kang Shaofei an eye-opening feeling.

These people who appeared at the banquet, if they take out any one to go to the mainland, they can become the guests of the city's top leaders.

In this era in the mainland, it is really possible to be open-minded when it comes to attracting investment.

"Didn't it mean that there are only one hundred guests at the banquet tonight? There are almost three hundred people, right?" Standing aside, Kang Shaofei whispered to his colleague.

For this banquet, all of them in the mainland were mobilized, and they put all their energy into it, and they couldn't embarrass the mainland.

Kang Shaofei, a newcomer, was also arranged to entertain guests in the banquet hall.

And standing next to him was a leader who obviously knew more.

"Originally, it was true that only a hundred people were prepared, but yesterday, Mr. Su, Mr. Bao Chuanwang, Li Chaoren, Shen Daban and other bigwigs suddenly got a call and said they were going to attend the banquet in person."

"So, that's it..."

Su Shaoze, Bao Chuanwang, Shen Congee and the others have already confirmed that they will attend this banquet. This news will naturally attract more people's attention if it spreads in the circle.

In fact, the reason why most of the people in this banquet appeared was for Su Shaoze and the others.

Su Shaoze keeps a low profile even though he is powerful, and there are not many opportunities to attend the same banquet with Su Shaoze.

These people in the banquet are all thinking about themselves.

I hope I can take this opportunity to talk more with bigwigs like Su Shaoze and Shen Porridge, so as to get closer.

If they are lucky enough to be appreciated, or get an opportunity, then even if they don't soar into the sky, they can still get a lot of benefits.

The reason for this situation is inseparable from the development of the current economic structure of Hong Kong Island.

Now Hong Kong Island has entered the era of oligopoly!

Plutocrats such as the four major families replaced the former four major foreign firms, and gradually appeared at the top of the pyramid, and their economic control over Hong Kong Island became stronger and stronger.

Firmly monopolized the upstream industry chain of many industries!

Take electricity for example. People on Hong Kong Island cannot use electricity without the electric lighting company under Galaxy Group.

If you want to use tap water, you can't do without the water company under Universal Group; if you want to use gas, you can't do without Hutchison's China Gas; if you want to make calls, you can't do without the telephone and telegraph company of Galaxy Group.

If you want to live in a house, you can't do without the four major real estate companies such as Butterfly Bay and Cheung Kong!

Su Media Group is also inseparable from spiritual entertainment and relaxation.

There are many other aspects. In short, the chaebol power on Hong Kong Island has initially formed, forming a monopoly on all aspects of the upstream industries on Hong Kong Island.

For other small companies, if they want to develop, they must cooperate with these large enterprises to obtain their downstream orders. While making money and developing, their dependence on these chaebols will become stronger.

Therefore, this is also the reason why so many people came at the same time when they knew that Su Shaoze and the others would attend the banquet.

Regarding such a situation, Director Sun and other leaders of the inland office felt the pressure, but at the same time they were excited.

Although they borrowed the power of Su Shaoze and other big bosses, this can be regarded as the beginning of a good situation for them on Hong Kong Island.

Director Sun called several of his deputies, and solemnly ordered: "¨‧We must entertain these guests well, and express the goodwill of our mainland."

"We respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all, and will strive to build a more prosperous Hong Kong Island metropolis in the future..."

The task of the inland office is not as simple as simply liaison, but also shoulders an important mission.

Because there is a kind of thinking circulating among the upper class on Hong Kong Island.

The reunification of Hong Kong Island cannot be changed. Many wealthy people are planning to immigrate to the United States before the reunification or they will not be able to survive.

How can this work?

What the mainland wants is a window to the world, an economically developed Hong Kong Island, not a city where all the money has been transferred.

Therefore, in the ten years before the reunification, the mainland should leave as many people as possible to build Hong Kong Island together.

This evening's banquet is a good start.

Director Sun led his assistants to chat with people at the banquet. After a while, there was a commotion in front of the hotel.

Superman Li is here! .

Chapter 409 Mercenaries have no borders, the mighty Lone Wolf Royal Shield【Ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

The era of oligopoly is a plutocratic economic model.

The major chaebols control the upstream industrial chains of almost all industries in society, making the economic class structure completely present a pyramid shape.

This is the inevitable result of the development of a capitalist society. The upper class controls all aspects of society with the capital and influence they control.

It ranges from heavy defense industry in countries and regions to the basic necessities of ordinary people.

The economic operation of almost the entire society is profoundly influenced by the plutocrats.

According to statistics, ten of the top 25 regulars on the world's richest list before the new century were from Hong Kong Island and Nanyang.

The total economic development of these two regions is far greater than that of the West, which shows the concentration of capital in these two regions.

Wealth is in the hands of a few people, and the top plutocrats were born from it.

If the economy of Hong Kong Island before the 1980s was controlled by the four major foreign firms, then in today’s Hong Kong Island, the status of the four major foreign firms of British-funded enterprises has been quietly replaced by the four major Chinese families.

Su family, Bao family, Li family and Zheng family!

And the beginning of the change was the Wharf Incident!

Bao Chuanwang's strong 113 acquisition of Wharf blew the clarion call for the rise of Chinese capital, followed by Li Chaoren and Su Shaoze one after another.

The acquisition of Whampoa Hutchison and Hong Kong Island Electric respectively completely opened the golden age of Chinese-funded enterprises.

In the following years, the influence of British-funded enterprises continued to weaken.

Among the four major foreign firms, Jardine Matheson and Hutchison experienced several setbacks, and their assets shrank significantly. Many assets were acquired by Su Shaoze, Li Chaoren, and Bao Chuanwang.

And Swire Pacific is as stable as a dog, tepid and relatively low-key.

Only Wheelock \u0026 Co., relying on the capital of HSBC, has maintained a considerable influence on Hong Kong Island so far.

At this time, Shen Congee and Li Chaoren, the top class of HSBC Bank, were standing together, talking with red wine.

The content of the discussion mainly revolves around Guo Hongtu and Xinhongtu Real Estate Company.

In other words, they are testing the huge benefits brought about by the downfall of Xinhongtu, and discussing how to divide up this piece of fat.

"It's really unexpected that such an honest person like Lao Guo died like this, the world is impermanent~" Li Chaoren said with emotion.

Regardless of how violent and scheming Guo Hongtu is, but the dead are the most important, Li Chaoren did not hesitate to praise him.

"Old Guo is usually such a strong person! When he was young, he also fought hard on the road, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of a gangster like Zhang Shihao." Zheng Yuyin shook his head and sighed.

"I don't know what's going on now, did the police catch that Zhang Shihao?" Li Chaoren asked.

Shen Congee shook his head: "I just came out of Hong Kong Governor's Mansion this afternoon, that Zhang Shihao hasn't been arrested yet~"

"So many policemen can't catch a single person, really~" Zheng Yuyin shook her head depressedly.

"We still have to catch him as soon as possible~ No one can rest assured that such a fierce gangster is outside~" Li Chaoren said in a deep voice.

Although he didn't know that Guo Hongtu had saved him from the disaster, if there were no good people from Guo, his son would be the unlucky one.

However, Li Chaoren also hoped to catch Zhang Shihao as soon as possible. For no reason, he hated this courageous and capable young man very much.

"The current Hong Kong Island is getting more and more uneven. Mr. Shen still needs to talk to the Governor of Hong Kong. The social security needs to be strengthened, and those ghosts and gangsters must be suppressed." Li Chaoren said solemnly.

People on Hong Kong Island are currently fluctuating. Many foreign smugglers regard Zhang Shihao as their idol.

So now Li Chaoren and the others don’t have much sense of security. They urgently hope that the Hong Kong Governor’s Office and the police force can be more supportive. They can’t pay so much tax every year for nothing~

"We really need to be more careful. I have already called Aze, and I plan to hire two more bodyguard teams from him. It is related to our wealth and family safety, so we must not ignore it~~"
