Resource Tycoon Reborn

The more he got to know the Welf family, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel that these wealthy European families had such profound heritage, they were like centipede insects, they could get a foot in any place. If it weren't for Angelina's casual mention, he

No one would have known that the Welf family still held so many shares in EDF Group. If it weren't for the fact that a large share of their wealth consists of antiques, collections, real estate, etc. that are not easily liquidated. They also act relatively low-key and are not easy to move.

Appearing in front of the public, and with the large number of family members, it would not be so shocking if it were divided equally among everyone. Otherwise, including other families, the ranking of the world's richest people would definitely change significantly. But this

It does not affect the influence of the Welf family in the European and global economies.

After a long discussion, the two parties reached an agreement that Fang Mingyuan would use his influence to help him acquire all the UK regulated and non-regulated power grid assets of the UK power network business edenergy, and Fang Mingyuan's "little actions" in Hong Kong

", the Li family will hold at least a neutral attitude and will not use their influence to speak against the situation. If this can be achieved, Fang Mingyuan feels that the talk is worthwhile.

Of course, they were not only talking about these things, but also about the Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd. Li Chaoren expressed great interest in this. The companies under the Li family are not only involved in the real estate industry, but also in the communications industry.

It is also one of their key development industries, and has even developed overseas. A 3G license in the UK was obtained by a company owned by the Li family, for which more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars were spent. For the vast domestic telecommunications

How could they not be interested in the market?

Regarding Li Chaoren's idea of ​​taking a shareholding, Fang Mingyuan declined on the grounds that the share of capital from Hong Kong was already too large. He only said that when the shares are expanded in the future, he will give priority to inviting the Li family to become a shareholder.

At this point, Li Chaoren expressed his condolences.

In fact, from the very beginning, Fang Mingyuan had no intention of getting the Li family to invest. This was mainly because the Li family's influence in the communications industry was already considerable. Not only did it occupy a dominant position in Hong Kong, its influence was also

is spreading to Southeast Asia and Europe. Moreover, the future shares of Railway Communication Information Co., Ltd. are relatively dispersed. Except for die-hard allies such as the Guo family, Zheng family, Zhao family, and Chai family, in order to facilitate the future development of Railway Communication Information Co., Ltd.,

It also attracted many domestic shareholders, including some with state-owned assets background. Fang Mingyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the shares that the Fang family directly controlled in Future Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd.

To bring in the big crocodile of the Li family, not to mention that the shares can only be squeezed out from the Fang family and their die-hard allies. The problem is that Fang Mingyuan is worried that if the Li family does not agree with his business philosophy in the future, what if he and the

Joining forces with other shareholders may cause considerable trouble for the company's future operations. Fang Mingyuan believes that when conquering the world, there must be only one voice in the company, otherwise, too much wrangling and infighting will make the original

It is even more difficult to open up the market, and the Li family undoubtedly has the strength!

Although it is said that doing this makes Fang Mingyuan feel a little pity, after all, if the Li family also invests in Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd., with their business experience in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and Europe, it will have a great impact on the future of Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd.

Development can play an important role. However, this aspect is not irreparable. Hong Kong, a small island with a population of only 7 million, is already crowded with 6 2G network operators and 4 3G network operators, and there are not enough talents.

No shortage.

It can be seen that Li Chaoren is quite reluctant to become a shareholder of Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd. After all, with the huge domestic market and the advantages of the telecommunications industry owned by the Fang family, Railway Communications Information Co., Ltd.

As long as the company doesn't mess around in the future, profitability is a sure thing.

Fang Mingyuan flew back to Pingchuan, but Hong Kong was in a state of excitement on New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, the Hong Kong government's publicity department sent invitations to all major media in Hong Kong to attend a press conference at 10:30 in the morning. As a result, before 10 o'clock, journalists from hundreds of media gathered at the press conference.

, people have speculated that on the important day of the New Year's Eve, a press conference was suddenly held so solemnly. What happened? People exchanged information with each other, but found that everyone had no idea about the content of this press conference.

They all know nothing.

At half past ten, the press conference started on time. The reporters were surprised to find that in addition to the spokesperson of the Hong Kong government, there were also major officials of the Hong Kong government including Chief Executive Ji Zongze, as well as... Guo

The old man, Zheng Yutong, Yu Qiuxia, Fang Bin, Li Chaoren and many other heavyweights in Hong Kong's industrial and commercial circles! The reporters immediately became excited. Looking at this formation, even a fool would understand that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, how could Mr. Guo, who rarely appears in front of the camera, appear at the venue in person? Not to mention, there are so many big shots.

"Today is the 30th of the Lunar New Year. It is an important day for us Hong Kong citizens to celebrate as a family. Here we would like to wish all of you present and the Hong Kong citizens a happy new year in advance." Ji Zongze picked up the microphone and said with a smile, "Today

We invite you here because we have important news to announce to the public. But you can rest assured that it is good news, not distressing bad news." Everyone present smiled knowingly.

Indeed, according to tradition, if it is not a major event, on an important day like New Year's Eve, no bad news will be announced with such fanfare.

"As everyone knows, we announced some data on Hong Kong's economy in 2008 a while ago, and I also said that the next twelve months will be the most difficult period for our Hong Kong economy, because

With the global economic downturn, Hong Kong's economy may even experience negative growth. This is a very worrying thing for all of us, and it is also related to the quality of life of all of us. The government has made a lot of efforts in this regard

We have worked hard and asked the capital for many policies, and the capital has indeed given us a lot of help. But to be honest, I know many citizens will say that it will take a certain amount of time for these policies to be effective and cannot be immediate. I admit it.

, What they said makes sense, and indeed, as they said, it will take time to release the driving force of these policies and measures for Hong Kong's economy." Ji Zongze said with a serious face. The reporters present quickly recorded

Following Ji Zongze's speech, he also made a sound of agreement.

Ji Zongze looked around the audience and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The new year begins. In order to let everyone have a good year and to give everyone confidence in the future of Hong Kong's economy, we are here to announce good news today.

." As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Mr. Guo and others, indicating that they would make the announcement.

Mr. Guo casually picked up the microphone in front of him and said: "I invite you all to come here today because I want to announce a message to all Hong Kong citizens through your reports. After consultations among us, and based on the different current situations of different companies, we have made

A decision has been made. In the next three years, our companies will try their best to avoid layoffs and reduce salaries slightly..."

Before Mr. Guo finished speaking, the entire press conference hall was boiling. You must know that there were more than a dozen Hong Kong business people attending this press conference. The companies controlled by these people accounted for a large share of the Hong Kong economy.

They play a very important role, and the number of employees in these companies is hundreds of thousands! Hong Kong’s economy is in recession, and what citizens are most worried about is that large companies will cut wages and layoffs on a large scale. After large companies do this, Hong Kong

Naturally, it is unavoidable for small and medium-sized enterprises. And if these companies will try their best to avoid layoffs and small salary cuts, it can be said to be a reassurance for the people who stabilize Hong Kong society! No wonder Ji Zongze said this is a good move

information.

Mr. Guo smiled and said nothing, waiting for everyone in the hall to calm down before continuing: "Here, on behalf of myself, Brother Zheng Yutong, Brother Zheng, and Fang Mingyuan who was not present, I announce that in the next three years,

, Kwok Shipping Group Company, Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Goldsmiths and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company have promised the public that they will not cut wages or lay off employees! As for other companies in which we hold shares, we will try our best not to lay off employees or reduce wages.

After all, we must also respect the legitimate rights and interests of other shareholders."

Everyone present couldn't help but was in an uproar again. They didn't expect that these three companies actually promised not to cut wages or lay off employees within three years. Now that the global economy is experiencing a general decline, everyone here knows what this means.

As for why other companies only promise not to lay off employees or cut wages as much as possible, they can also understand, because these three companies are unlisted companies, and the shares can be said to be highly concentrated. The Guo family, the Zheng family, and the Fang family have achieved almost

100% controlling stake. Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a decision without the consent of other shareholders. Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but turn to Zheng Yutong, Yu Qiuxia, and Fang Bin who were sitting aside. Mr. Guo could represent Guo

Shipping Group Company, these three people can also represent Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Goldsmiths and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. Seeing their smiles and nodding, everyone was even more excited.

"Ahem, everyone, be quiet!" Mr. Guo said again, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

The press room immediately fell silent. Mr. Guo nodded with satisfaction and said: "As for the following words, I hope that you will not change my original intention when publishing. Thank you in advance. We, the people, made this decision because we hope that everyone will

We can overcome the difficulties together and hope that Hong Kong society will be stable and prosperous. But there are some things I must say upfront. People are different, companies are different, and the situations of companies in different industries are even different. We made this decision because

Because we believe that within three years, as long as there are no unbearable difficulties, we can get through it. Three years later, the most difficult period of the global economy should be over. However, not all companies can do this.

, some companies, if they do not lay off employees and reduce wages, they may not be able to survive this year. If we force Hong Kong companies to do this, then there will only be one result! Therefore, everyone must understand and help

People also have to act within their capabilities. If our decision is applied to other companies, it will only harm the Hong Kong economy and the general public."

"Yes, what the old man said is what I want to say. It's just like donating. Someone can donate five million Hong Kong dollars to help those in need, but if you ask citizens to donate five million Hong Kong dollars,

, let alone five million Hong Kong dollars, even one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars for each person, that will cause big things. Therefore, everyone here, please be careful when reporting, and do not lead the wrong audience and readers." Ji Zongze also said.

Shen Sheng said, "As long as those companies that lay off employees and reduce wages survive the difficulties and Hong Kong's economy improves, they will naturally increase wages and recruit workers. But if they are completely bankrupt and liquidated, then they will be re-established.

When companies come, it will be much more difficult!”

Everyone present naturally nodded in agreement, and the microphone was turned to Li Chaoren's hand. Li Chaoren smiled and said: "I don't have as good a vision as the two old men. I can detect the crisis before it comes, and I have orders.

The courage that people admire is that when Hong Kong's economic situation was still good, it began to respond to the crisis and gave up considerable profits. As for Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, it is even more ashamed. I think for them

In other words, it seems that whether there is a crisis or not does not have much impact. If everyone is so poor that they can’t even watch two of their favorite movies, there will be no way to survive.” People present laughed, and they were indeed disappointed with Hong Kong.

For people, the price of a few movie tickets is really not a big expense. If people can't even afford a few movie tickets, then how bad has the economy been? What's more, the Hong Kong movie market,

For Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, which targets the global film market, it is nothing.

"So I can only promise that the companies under my family will do their best not to lay off employees and reduce salaries a little in three years." Li Chaoren said with a smile. The crowd applauded again. They also know that the companies under the Li family will

It covers many industries and has a large number of employees. Some companies are in a reasonable situation, but some companies are under great pressure. It is indeed unrealistic to promise no layoffs or salary cuts for three years like Mr. Guo and others.

You can't ask the boss to subsidize it out of his own pocket. Being able to promise in public that he will do his best not to lay off employees or reduce wages is already a surprise to them. (To be continued.)
