As night fell, the fountain square of the Four Seasons Hotel was illuminated by colorful spotlights, and a tent like a sail enveloped the entire area. The lights inside were also brilliant, 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 mainland’s influence 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 that 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 I didn’t expect that Guo Hongtu’s incident happened this time, which led to a change in the meaning of this banquet.
At the reception, graceful waitresses in uniform quickly shuttled through it, and under the tent on the lawn beside it was a long table covered with white tablecloth, which was filled with guest-style 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 tables beside them.
Although the mainland is not rich, but at this time, it is still necessary to save face, and the compatriots on Hong Kong Island should not underestimate the big brother 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 stood at 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 the little rich people on Hong Kong Island, 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 all 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 showed full energy, not to embarrass the mainland.
Kang Shaofei, a newcomer, was also arranged to entertain guests in the banquet hall.
And standing next to him is a leader who obviously knows more.
“Originally, it was true that only one hundred people were prepared, but yesterday Mr. Su, Bao Chuanwang, Li Chaoren, Shen Dapan and other bigwigs suddenly got a phone call, saying that they were going to attend the banquet in person.”
“So, that’s it…
Su Shaoze, Bao Chuanwang, Shen Porridge and the others have confirmed that they will attend this banquet. This news spreads in the circle, which will naturally attract more people’s attention.
In fact, most of the people in this banquet appeared for Su Shaoze and the others.
Su Shaoze keeps a low profile when 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 Su Shaoze and Shen Porridge to get in touch with them.
If they are lucky enough to be appreciated, or get an opportunity, then even if they don’t fly into the sky, they can get a lot of benefits.
The reason why such a situation occurs 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 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 do without the electric light company under Galaxy Group if they want to use electricity.
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.
And some 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 Mainland Office felt the pressure, but at the same time they were excited.
Although they borrowed the momentum of Su Shaoze and other big shots, this can be regarded as the beginning of a good situation for them on Hong Kong Island.
Director Sun called several of his assistants and solemnly ordered: “…we must entertain these guests well and express our goodwill from the mainland.” (Wang Zhaozhao)
“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 Mainland 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!.
