Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 877 The Hereditary Tradition of the Island Country

Hotel Lobby

   Get out of the elevator, led by Koizumi.

  Yang Chen saw a middle-aged man who was not very tall. He was sitting alone in the rest area of ​​the hotel lobby, holding a newspaper in his hand, where he was waiting quietly.

   "Mr. Sumitomo"

   "Oh, Koizumi-kun, you're back,"

   "Lisang, we meet again."

   "Hello, Mr. Sumitomo."

   After greeting Sumitomo Ichiro, Li Guowei turned sideways and introduced to Sumitomo Ichiro: "Mr. Sumitomo, this is my boss."

   "Boss, this is the current president of the Sumitomo Foundation, Mr. Sumitomo Ichiro."

  Like all the people who met Yang Chen for the first time, Sumitomo Ichiro couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw Yang Chen's envious, jealous face.

   "Famous is worse than meeting. Yang Sang is younger than I thought. It's a pleasure to meet you Yang Sang. Welcome to the beautiful Tokyo."

   "Hello, Mr. Sumitomo, I didn't expect you to speak Chinese so well. I'm also very happy to meet you."

   Yang Chen said that he was happy, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart that a person of status and status like Sumitomo Ichiro can speak Chinese so well. ’

Sumitomo Ichiro didn't know what Yang Chen was thinking, but he still said with a smile: "I hope my presence doesn't disturb you, Yang Sang, my father has always been looking forward to meeting you. Today I acted a little rashly, but Please also forgive me."

   Yang waved his hand: "Mr. Sumitomo, let's sit down and talk first!"

   "Mr. Sumitomo like tea? Or coffee?"

   "It's okay, I'm not very picky personally."

  …

After some exchanges, Sumitomo Ichiro couldn't help but ask, "Yang Sang, I wonder if you are free tonight?"

   Yang Chen raised his eyelids, and while pretending to drink tea, he looked at Sumitomo Ichiro, who had a hypocritical face in front of him. He didn't think about it much, and said, "When you have time, Mr. Sumitomo asks this, is there any order?"

"That's great"

   "Before I came, my father called me and said that he had come to Tokyo. Since my father retired, he didn't like living in the city very much, and he always lived in the country..."

   "If Yang Sang has time in the evening, I would like to invite Yang Sang and Li Sang to have a quick dinner at home. My father has been looking forward to you for a long time."

  Yang Chen turned his head and glanced at Li Guowei, then nodded and said: "I have already received the letter from the old president of Sumitomo. Since this is the case, I will trouble Mr. Sumitomo at night. I will be there on time."

   Hearing Yang Chen's agreement, Sumitomo Ichiro was very happy now. The reason why he rushed over in such a low-key manner, and he didn't bring anyone with him, was to take Yang Chen to his house one step ahead of the others.

   Now everyone is paying attention to Yang Chen's every move. The heads of several major chaebol forces have already received news as early as the moment Yang Chen got off the plane.

  Ichiro Sumitomo is not very clear if other people are coming over now, and even if not, the other companies will take action sooner or later.

   For people like Sumitomo Ichiro, Yang Chen, a big local tyrant, is very necessary to win over, especially Yang Chen's real estate company has begun to prepare to enter the real estate industry in the island country.

   For the major financial groups in the island country, Yang Chen is a beast of a flood, they can choose to accept it, or they can choose to resist.

After all, in addition to being a super rich man, Yang Chen is backed by big international banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered. No one can guarantee that when the other party enters the island market, the forces associated with him will not be able to. Blend in.

   pulls one hair and moves the whole body, and everyone is not allowed to be careless.

but

   After Yang Chen threw out the big golden bull of the game company, several major consortiums tacitly chose to accept it.

   For major consortia, interests are always the most important.

   As long as Yang Chen can bring benefits to them, even if a flood beast is put in, they will not hesitate.

  The so-called, strong dragons do not overwhelm the local snakes.

   What's more, the chaebol forces like them are not just as simple as local snakes, they also have the strength of a strong dragon, no matter which industry foreign forces enter, they will inevitably deal with these chaebols.

  The chaebol forces run through the economy of the entire island country. Without them, no one can play here. Even if the strong dragon comes, they have a way to deal with it.

   Those who understand the culture of the island country should understand that the islander is a country that attaches great importance to hereditary traditions.

   Even in the political arena of island countries, it is also "hereditary politics".

   Since the end of World War II, the political arena of the island country has basically been a situation in which the father’s business is inherited from the son, and the official position is passed on from generation to generation.

  Grandpa is the prime minister. Among the sons or grandsons, one of the sons or grandsons will inevitably become the prime minister, and some even have three prime ministers. This is a very normal thing in the political arena of the island country.

  The so-called royal family and ordinary people at the bottom have no influence on the rule of the five political families.

   This is true in the political arena of the island country, and naturally the same is true of the business circle of the island country.

   For a long time, the economy of the island country has been firmly controlled by powerful consortia like Sumitomo and Mitsubishi. The industries involved in several major consortiums cover almost all industries in the island country.

   Of course, this is not the most important thing.

   The most important point is that financial groups like Sumitomo are actually secretly integrated with political families like the family. The political family and the chaebol family are united, which makes the hereditary rule of the two more guaranteed.

   We often say that a family is usually only rich for three generations.

  Chinese people pay attention to the fact that power cannot have money, and money cannot have power.

   Money and power cannot be mixed, otherwise things will easily happen.

   But the island country is different. The island country is nominally a democratic country, but in fact it is a dictatorship of a political family. The chaebol and the political family are united. You give me rights protection, and I provide you with campaign funds.

  The collusion between officials and businessmen is blatant, and there is no cover up at all. All democratic countries are actually the same in essence, but other European and American countries have not directly put it on the table like the islanders.

   This has advantages and disadvantages.

   It depends on which aspect you view the problem from.

   However, these two forces are mixed together, which makes it much more difficult for foreign forces to enter the island country market. Sometimes they must obtain the unanimous approval of both forces in order to gain a firm foothold in the island country market.

  Otherwise, the political and economic double suppression, no matter how strong the strength is, will not be able to do the same thing.

   Based on this, the major chaebol forces in the island country did not take any boycott actions when Landmark entered the island country market.
