Chapter 519: please lead
Compared to disrupting the Hong Kong government's plan to build a new university, it is more difficult to promote the establishment of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Fund. Although the Hong Kong government has never been short of money, except for the deficit in 1983 and 1984 due to the crisis of the future, most of the time, the income is higher than the expenditure, that is, it is in a state of fiscal balance.
As a British colony, Hong Kong, like the United Kingdom, runs from April 1 to March 31 of the following year as a fiscal year. And just in the past 86/87 fiscal year, the financial balance of the Hong Kong government was as high as 6 billion Hong Kong dollars! The continuous financial surplus every year means that the Hong Kong government is not short of funds.
And the British government is certainly not reconciled, and handed over the wealth it has accumulated to China to receive it. Therefore, in another time and space, Hong Kong Governor David Wilson, taking advantage of the crisis of confidence in 198-9, threw out a "Rose Garden Project" that included ten core projects!
According to the plan of the Hong Kong government at that time, among these ten core projects, the total investment of just a new Chek Lap Kok Airport will exceed 200 billion Hong Kong dollars. Even if the Hong Kong government's finances for the next few years are not dragged down, it will carry a heavy burden!
The Chinese side naturally expressed strong resistance to this, directly threatening that the new SAR government did not recognize the debt performance responsibility after 1997, and finally forced the British side to make concessions and set up a Sino-British Union③∷dǐng③∷ǎn③∷小③∷ Say, .2▽▲ form a team to communicate related matters!
In fact, whether it is Sir Edward Youde, who died of a sudden heart attack last year, or Sir Edward Wilson, who just came to Hong Kong to take up his post in April this year, these two governors are not the kind of very tough people, at least compared to the later Chris Patten. Hawks are much better talkers!
But even if the Hong Kong government has money, Li Xuan wants to take out real money from His Excellency the Governor. Nor is it easy. The method he adopted was to invest the money himself first, and then incite public opinion to force the Hong Kong government to invest matching funds.
The Eastern Group is committed within the next ten years. Inject HK$500 million into the Hong Kong Science and Technology Fund every year to support the development of basic scientific research in Hong Kong. This is a free donation with unlimited use and return. Since a company is so generous, the Hong Kong government can't be too conservative, and finally decided to invest 1 billion Hong Kong dollars into the Hong Kong Technology Fund every year.
And Zhu Diwen is one of the direct beneficiaries after the establishment of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Fund. The Chinese University of Hong Kong promised to build a high-standard quantum electronics laboratory for him, and most of the funds came from this science and technology fund!
In Li Xuan's view, the annual investment of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Fund is actually not much. The equivalent of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars to US dollars is about 200 million US dollars, which is only equivalent to the research funding of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory in the United States for one year! And Lawrence Labs. Just one of a laboratory under the U.S. Department of Energy.
However, this is very rare for Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong was a region with textile, clothing, toys and other light industries as its economic core a few years ago. In the 1980s, CUHK and HKU were far less ranked among world universities than in the 21st century!
Even in the 21st century in another time and space, although the University of Hong Kong and CUHK are often ranked among the top 40 in the world university rankings, their achievements in the field of scientific research have always been lackluster! The city of Hong Kong itself has long been labeled as a "cultural desert"!
Science is what needs to be accumulated the most, and the appearance of Li Xuan has at least driven a series of changes in Hong Kong. Maybe nothing has changed for a day or two. But after ten or twenty years, the temperament and heritage of the whole city will change a lot because of this!
The reason why the Oriental Group can be found is that Hong Kong, a place without much electronics industry foundation. Forcibly killed a **** path, completely relying on Li Xuan's golden finger of rebirth! And Li Xuan also happened to meet the good opportunity of the outbreak of the arcade industry, in order to create the current situation of Dongfang Group!
The arcade is actually an electronic product with a low technical threshold. What's more important is game creativity, and this is Li Xuan's strength as a reborn person! According to Li Xuan's own rough statistics. The arcade business has contributed more than $5 billion in net profit to the entire Oriental Group over the years.
You must know that he is the second richest person in the world after Li Xuan. Mr. Walton, the owner of Wal-Mart supermarket, as of last year, his total personal wealth was only more than 5 billion US dollars! It is precisely relying on the large amount of funds provided by the arcade field that allows Li Xuan to unscrupulously expand his technology from the very beginning.
You must know that even though Li Xuan has a lot of information about the ar architecture in his mind, he still spent a lot of money and formed a huge R&D team before imitating the r architecture. As time goes by, the effect of regenerating golden fingers will become smaller and smaller.
Taking the r architecture he is most familiar with as an example, after the development of the r-1 and r-2 generation architectures, the goods in Li Xuan's stomach have been almost taken out. He is now more just doing, some macro-direction control! After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary project, not a technical expert!
As for the latest r-3 architecture, it has completely embarked on a road that the AR architecture in another time and space has never traveled! You must know that the ar architecture of the previous life has never been able to enter the field of computer processors controlled by Intel. But in this life, r turned Intel's 86 processor to the ground from the very beginning!
Although the r architecture has developed to this point, it has been completely out of Li Xuan's control, but he is still full of confidence in the upcoming r-3. But this confidence does not come from his reborn golden finger, but because the public relations team of the r project of the Oriental Research Institute is as high as 1,000 people, and the research and development investment of this r-3 architecture is as high as 150 million US dollars!
Since the Oriental Group has chosen to take the road of technological innovation, and Li Xuan has always regarded Hong Kong as the most important foundation of the group, it is very necessary to promote the overall investment of Hong Kong in the field of scientific research, so as to provide a steady stream of impetus for the long-term development of the enterprise !
Hong Kong is only a city with a population of five or six million, and its potential in talent pool is far less than that of other countries and regions! Li Xuan also never thought that Hong Kong's own talents could support the development of the Oriental Group, and more importantly, he had to attract talents from outside!
And for researchers. The most effective weapon to convince them is to provide sufficient scientific research funds! This is why Li Xuan strongly promoted the establishment of the Hong Kong Technology Fund! The Oriental Group only needs to spend 500 million Hong Kong dollars a year. The investment of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars can be leveraged, which is enough to dig a large number of powerful professors for several universities in Hong Kong!
And wait for these capital investments to produce actual results. Li Xuan is confident that he can persuade the Hong Kong government to further increase investment! Don't look at the fact that the Oriental Group seems to only pay, and cannot obtain direct benefits from it, but some accounts are not calculated like this!
Li Xuan can say without modesty that the Oriental Group is the rule maker of the Hong Kong territory! All the scientific and technological talents who come to Hong Kong are the dishes of the Oriental Group! As long as they can show their own value, the Oriental Group will be able to get the first month and the first to get them in the bag!
Take the atomic refrigeration capture technology that Zhu Diwen is going to study in depth as an example. This direct result may not be directly related to the business of the Oriental Group. But in the whole research and development process, Zhu Diwen is bound to conduct in-depth research on laser technology. Some secondary outcomes from this process. Maybe it's not what the Eastern Group needs. After all, in the field of semiconductors and electronics, lasers also have a wide range of applications!
"Professor Zhu, although your research is a bit advanced for a layman like me, Dongfang Group has always shown support and encouragement to technology research and development! Dongfang Group is willing to donate 1 million US dollars to your project!" Li When Xuan got off the plane, he shook hands with Ju Diwen and said.
"Li Sheng, thank you for your generosity! I will do my best to make your funding meaningful!" Ju Diwen did not expect Li Xuan to give him such a big gift before parting, and his face was immediately filled with gratitude Affection.
The total funds CUHK intends to disburse to Judy Wen. Only $5 million. The money already includes funding for the construction of the quantum electronics laboratory, as well as the cost of his subsequent research projects.
The 1 million US dollars donated by Li Xuan will undoubtedly make Zhu Diwen's scientific research work more calm! For Li Xuan, $1 million was exchanged for the friendship of a future Nobel Prize winner. Also a very worthwhile thing!
The two parted at Kai Tak Airport, and Li Xuan took his own car back to his home in Dǐng, Taiping Mountain. The first news he heard after returning to Hong Kong was that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had completed the re-election. Li Fuzhao officially resigned as chairman of the Stock Exchange!
The new chairman of the stock exchange is called Li Yongzhu, who was the chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange before the merger. He is also one of the vice-chairmen of the Stock Exchange after its establishment. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is the sphere of influence of the original foreign securities companies, and Li Fuzhao is a step back. In exchange for his own safe landing.
And Li Yongzhu is actually a candidate that is relatively easy for all parties to accept. He is one of the oldest Chinese in the securities industry in Hong Kong and has a very deep relationship with various Chinese brokerage firms.
Although the selection of the chairman of the Stock Exchange is very important, what is more important is the private wrestling of all parties in the Hong Kong securities industry. Because of the "Black Monday" stock market crash, the Hong Kong government decided to revise the "Securities Administration Ordinance" to strengthen the supervision of the securities market.
Hong Kong's securities market has lagged far behind, not to mention the mature capital markets such as the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.
For example, both of them have realized computerized trading, while the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is still using manual matching. This backward approach is not only inefficient, but also creates countless opportunities for insider trading for traders and bookmakers. So much so that in the current Hong Kong stock market, the behavior of bookmakers to manipulate stock prices abounds!
And the Chinese-funded brokerage houses, which have an absolute advantage in quantity, are the main beneficiaries of the chaos in the Hong Kong securities market. In the face of these out-of-market tricks, foreign-funded brokerages simply cannot give full play to their strong advantages in professional technical analysis and capital, and instead suffer from repeated losses.
And Li Xuan also does not want the stock exchange to continue to have various fraudulent practices. What he needs is a healthy securities market as an important platform for the Hong Kong electronics industry to raise funds! Therefore, whether the Hong Kong government strengthens the supervision of the securities industry, or the Stock Exchange is preparing to adopt a computerized trading system, the Asian securities companies under the Orient Group support it with both hands.
If Li Fuzhao is still the leader, Chinese securities companies may still be able to make concerted efforts to compete with foreign securities companies. But now that Li Fuzhao has suddenly retreated, the Chinese securities companies have suddenly become leaderless, and they can no longer stop the reform of Hong Kong's securities industry!
"Hong Kong's securities industry is ushering in a brand new reshuffle, making the market more standardized, and eliminating a group of unqualified securities firms through fair competition will help the Hong Kong securities industry reshape its credibility in the eyes of investors! But Hong Kong will always be the Hong Kong of the Chinese people, and it is no longer the era when ghosts can do whatever they want!
Presumably, Uncle Zhao, you don't want to see some people too proud. Have you considered coming out again? "After Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong, he had not adjusted the time difference, so he asked Li Fuzhao to have dinner together.
"Li Sheng, you are too condescending, my old bones are no longer welcome, it's better not to go to this muddy water again!" Li Fuzhao shook his head with a wry smile and said.
Li Xuan naturally didn't believe what Li Fuzhao said. If he hadn't disclosed to Li Fuzhao that the ICAC was investigating him, with his usual strong style, no matter how bad the stock market crash was, it was impossible for him to withdraw voluntarily!
"Uncle Zhao, I think you are wrong. After the Hong Kong Stock Exchange experienced the previous round of turmoil, it will only usher in a new life, not become a puddle of muddy water! Hong Kong's economy is thriving and has fallen to the bottom. The stock market will soon usher in a surge!
Such a turbulent situation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How can I miss Uncle Zhao's figure! In fact, it is not a bad thing to leave the Stock Exchange. Although you held a high position as chairman before, your public office is bound to be handicapped!
Now that no official is light, it is a good opportunity to show great ambitions and prove yourself again! With Uncle Zhao's status and connections in the Hong Kong securities industry, no one can sell you three-point thin noodles! "Li Xuan said with a smile.
Li Fuzhao listened to Li Xuan's compliment to him, although his face was not obvious, his heart was very comfortable. Just like Li Xuancai, he was very dissatisfied with his forced resignation as chairman of the Stock Exchange. It's just that the name of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is so scary that he has to make plans early!
"Li Sheng, you don't need to give me soup anymore. I owe you a lot of favor. As long as it is useful to me, you can open your mouth!" Although Li Xuan called him uncle, but Li Fuzhao would not be true Think of the richest man in the world as your nephew.
"Since Uncle Zhao is so refreshing, I will say it straight! After the death of Senior Feng Jingxi, the two little Mr. Feng seem to have no intention of developing in the financial field! Sun Hung Kai Bank was sold to Arab Bank two years ago. I don't know if the Feng family is ready. Selling Sun Hung Kai Securities? Asia Securities hopes to acquire Sun Hung Kai Securities, so I want Uncle Zhao to help lead a red line!" Li Xuan said with a smile. (To be continued.)
