The governor's office is in central. Since the news of governor MacLehose's departure came, the special bus will arrive soon.
In this short gap, Gao Xian greeted the police officers who maintained Street order harmoniously, "brothers have worked hard. After the work is completed, please come into the hotel and have a light meal to let Gao express his gratitude. Although you can rest assured that this contact will not fall into the attention scope of the ICAC."
"Thank you sir Gao, thank you sir Gao..." the police officers responded with emotion. No matter whether they really eat in the hotel after the banquet, sir Gao's gesture is absolutely interesting enough to calm the dissatisfaction caused by obvious social class differences, such as "the smell of Zhumen wine and meat"
Among the elites of Xiangjiang's political and business circles who came out to meet governor Mai Lihao, those who occasionally saw this scene couldn't help thinking: "although Gao Xian has been decorated with the highest level GBE, the Jianghu habit of being brothers with small people is still there."
Soon, the Xiangjiang governor's special car with the British crown badge of St. Edward appeared in people's vision.
MacLehose, the Hong Kong government's "extended service", is already in his fourth extended term of office, which more or less reflects the decline of Britain's national strength. It is not easy for him to find a suitable successor to the Hong Kong governor who is familiar with the situation in the Far East. He had to let MacLehose, who is at retirement age and has some health conditions and can't afford to work, continue to work.
Under such circumstances, Mai Lihao was slightly "Buddhist" in the position of governor of Hong Kong, and there were no major actions in governance, including the future of Xiangjiang. He waited for the contact results between London and Yanjing, unlike Peng Fukang, the last governor of Hong Kong in the "old script", who kept jumping up and down.
After all, it's time for Mai Lihao to serve as governor of Hong Kong. It's enough to check the work results and hand over the shift safely. Then he has further developed his personal friendship with Xiangjiang Chinese elites like Gao Xian. This time, he goes to the banquet with his wife.
Seeing Gao Xian waiting for a long time, Mai Lihao smiled so amiable that he cooperated with the photographer to take a photo with Gao Xian, which is a historical witness.
Gaoxian can be regarded as an example of the successful employment of MacLehose during his tenure as governor of Hong Kong. In line with the "home ownership scheme", the Gaoshi consortium built a public housing estate in Dapu where Gaoxian industrial estate is located; Gao Xian also personally funded the construction of Taohuayuan estate, a low rent housing estate providing more than 5000 units; In trade, finance, energy and other fields, Gaoxian has played an important role. In return, governor MacLehose invited Gao Xian to join the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government, and awarded Xiangjiang justice of the peace to apply to London for honours CBE.
Gao Xian was awarded GBE this time, which was entirely due to his direct operation in London and bypassed the Hong Kong government. Governor McLehose had no objection to this. He sincerely congratulated him and made a good relationship after he stepped down as governor.
Governor MacLehose walked into the banquet hall. With warm applause, the feast officially began.
In his speech, governor MacLehose's many contributions to Gao Xian over the years were full of praise, which virtually consolidated his administration heritage.
Calmly listening to the high string praised by governor Mai Lihao, his eyes seemed to pass by Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank and the head of Xiangjiang branch of China News Agency. He thought that his identity in Xiangjiang has reached such a high level, which is destined to be difficult to keep silent on sensitive issues, but today's banquet can't be allowed to be tempted by Shen Bi and others.
Therefore, when it was Gao Xian's turn to make a speech, after finishing a set of scene words, including responding to the affirmation of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, he deliberately threw out several topics to attract the attention of the guests.
"Today, several friends in the media asked me if the stock market is so good. Do the companies of happy group, such as happy energy, have any listing plans? I'll make a unified reply taking this opportunity."
This topic is dry goods. Sir Gao's Gaoyi is busy listing other companies all day. He won't be happy that his group will miss such a good opportunity to circle money. In addition, when the future of Xiangjiang is unknown, the company is listed, and it is tacitly understood that local governments will "invest" and risk aversion is not overseas.
Those guests who listened to all kinds of scenes and were careless immediately pricked up their ears.
Gao Xian said slowly: "happy group and its companies should not launch a listing plan in the next three years."
As soon as the answer was thrown out, it really caused great repercussions. There were regrets. There was less opportunity to follow the car to make money. There was relief. No matter how big the pool was, there was still a strong competitor to circle money. More people were confused. Sir Gao, who has such a good market and good management, didn't do anything. It's not like his smart style.
Of course, there are people with unique ideas among the guests.
For example:
Niu Bijian, the owner of Jardine, who witnessed the rapid expansion of Gao's consortium, frowned slightly and secretly guessed that Gao Xian was learning the lesson of too scattered shares before absorbing Jardine?
Li Bancheng, who has been playing a game with Hutchison management, has a bad balance in his heart. It seems that Sir Gao's digestion of land is no easier than my plan to truly fully control Hutchison!
Alan Greenspan, who often discusses economic issues with Gao Xian, thinks that every ten years or so, capitalist economies will have a serious economic crisis. The United States has begun to show all kinds of omens. The booming stock market and real estate market in Xiangjiang can not affect the overall situation. Sir Gao is learning to apply it and clenches his fist, Prevent a possible economic winter.
Not to mention, Alan Greenspan guessed part of Gao Xian's idea.
In the next three years, Xiangjiang will not only be deeply affected by the capitalist economic crisis, which is almost a cyclical law, but also be unable to avoid the problems of Xiangjiang's future. In addition, there are a lot of dramas such as business scandals, stock disasters, banking crisis and currency crisis. Now it is easy to circle money and expand uncontrollably. Next, it will be dragged down by external factors and become mired in the mire, In this special period in the "old script", I don't know how many business leaders who show off their instant happiness have fallen into a big somersault!
Gao Xian looked around at the crowd and continued with a smile: "Although happy group and its companies have no listing plan for the time being, this does not mean that happy group is conservative and closed. In addition to welcoming the cooperation of external capital, happy group will actively introduce excellent professionals and enrich the management. If possible, I hope to give up the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group and let more professional managers lead happy group forward, And I also have more energy to pay attention to the fields I am interested in. "
Even the senior executives of Gao's consortium among the banquet guests heard for the first time that Gao Xian had the idea of making the chairman of the board of directors of the happy group. Therefore, Gao Xian showed that he wanted to "retire" These words made people even more shocked. The executives of Gao's consortium felt that the ceiling of career promotion was higher. What people outside Gao's consortium thought most was that Sir Gao was so young that he planned to retreat bravely? Or did he want to enjoy life without ambition?
Shen Bi, head of Huifeng bank, showed a strange look on his face. Gao Xian was frightened by the problem he wanted to discuss just now. So he retreated behind the scenes and stayed away from Zhengzhi!
As for Gao Xian's words about giving up the chairman of the board of directors of happy group, Shen Bi directly went in one ear and out the other. He couldn't be clearer about the structure of Gao's consortium.
The specific operation of the whole happy group is realized through the management committee. Although each senior executive can be independent, he can not monopolize the power alone; Gao Xian has another strong Secretariat directly subordinate to himself to supervise the coordination and cooperation of various subsidiaries and departments.
More importantly, Gao Xian firmly controls the equity of happy group through the happy strategy and happy investment at the top and back. Even if he gives up the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group, he is nothing more than a figure like Niu Bijian in Xiangjiang business circle. Even if he is brilliant, he is actually a senior worker.
If Gao Xian really wants to retire, why not just hand over the control of Gao Yi?
Shen Bi's eyes turned. Gao Xian was really slippery. If he really stepped down from the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group, he would be free. He could vaguely deal with some problems, and then Xiangjiang business, especially Chinese capital, would lose a heavyweight who responded to his own ideas.
Notice that people can't help whispering. Gao Xian is funny to himself. If I don't create some topics for you, I'm free to find sensitive topics for me.
He continued: "some people may be curious about what I am interested in. At present, there is one, that is, proposing to limit the rampant use of asbestos in the construction industry."
"As we all know, asbestos has a long history and wide range of applications in many fields, including architecture, with its excellent characteristics of insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance."
"However, since 1970, the disadvantages of large-scale use of asbestos have been found. Up to now, authoritative research results show that asbestos fiber is harmful to human body. Inhalation of asbestos dust will not only lead to pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary dust disease, but also induce bronchial lung cancer, pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma and other malignant tumors."
"In view of this, in 1971, the United States began to restrict the use of asbestos; in 1975, a book began to restrict the use of asbestos; on our side of the Xiangjiang River, with the rapid economic development, there are more and more buildings, and the residential environment pollution caused by the flood use of asbestos has reached a level that must be paid attention to."
……
In the "old script", in the era when the whole people become house slaves decades later, the problem of formaldehyde pollution is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In this era, the harm of asbestos materials began to be widely recognized. Gao Xian's initiative is far sighted, at least in Xiangjiang area.
Banquet guests reacted differently to this. For example, Wang Dehui, chairman of the board of directors of Chinachem, a real estate developer mainly developing in the new territories, was very dissatisfied. Sir Gao took so many gold plots and made so much money that he naturally had leisure and elegance and engaged in some great and glorious fame, but our small and medium-sized real estate developers have to consider the cost rise caused by the restriction of asbestos.
Wang Dehui's response is not difficult to understand. Compared with other real estate developers, Chinachem's competitiveness is mainly reflected in the relatively cheap property price, and the price is that the location, design, materials and supporting facilities of the property are not ideal, resulting in insufficient appreciation ability. If Gaoxian's initiative to limit the use of asbestos really becomes an industry standard or even a legal provision in Xiangjiang, it will depend on it As far as Chinachem is concerned, reducing costs and making more profits is tantamount to adding a rope to its neck.
In fact, there is also a small gap. That is, when Gao Xian launched the acquisition war of the milk company many years ago, Zhou Xinian, chairman of the board of directors of the milk company at that time, in order to counterattack the accusation that the milk company abandoned valuable land, was ready to join hands with Wang Dehui, who was unknown at that time but had in laws, to develop the land of the milk company. Unfortunately, with Zhou Xinian Sinochem failed to reap any benefits from its exit in. It could only watch with envy. The Koch consortium built a large private housing estate Anfu garden at the bofulin ranch of the milk company and a business circle of the royal building at the Causeway Bay freezer of the milk company, making a fortune of $100 million.
Chen Songqing, chairman of the board of directors of Jianing, was very happy. Now, Xiangjiang real estate developers are selling houses to ordinary people, the main consumer group. It is nothing more than cost-effective, Feng Shui, etc. Sir Gao advocated an environmental and healthy selling point. It is a hype opportunity for Jianing, a rising star in the Xiangjiang real estate industry.
Those prudent real estate developers are thoughtful. Sir Gao mentioned that in the world, the United States and a book have already started to restrict the use of asbestos. That is the general trend. Xiangjiang must follow up. I'm afraid Gao's consortium has foresight to prepare for a rainy day, and its own company should make preparations as soon as possible.
……
Gao Xian's idea did not fail. He temporarily added several "materials" to his speech. As expected, it aroused a discussion and diverted his attention. Shen Bi had no chance to discuss the separation of governance and sovereignty with him.
When Gao Xianjing finished a round of wine and returned to the main position to rest, Shi Chunzhi privately asked, "Sir Gao initiated the restriction of asbestos in Xiangjiang. I must expect that it will involve a wide range. Only by forming the legal provisions of the government can it really have an effect."
Last year, Shi Yueqiang accompanied Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao to visit Yanjing. After grasping the general trend of Xiangjiang's future, he began to retire and retired from the top Chinese position in Xiangjiang's political arena as the chief Chinese representative of the Hong Kong government. Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao and London read their hard work and high achievements and gave Xiangjiang the first GBE medal.
Despite this pioneering honor, Shi Yueqiang's retirement is still very firm. He not only bid farewell to Xiangjiang's political arena, but also successively resigned from all business positions, and did not even participate in social activities, including heavyweight and high-standard banquets such as Gaoxian. The silence speed is so fast that it has disappeared from the public view of Xiangjiang. On the contrary, Shi Chunzhi, the eldest son of the Shi family, is becoming more and more active.
"What lawyer Shi said is absolutely right. My proposal only affects some companies at most. If we want to fully implement the restriction on asbestos, we can only rely on the legal provisions." Gao Xian nodded, "why, does lawyer Shi have unique ideas? Please don't hesitate to give us advice."
"I don't deserve your advice. Based on my ten-year experience with Sir Gao, sir Gao initiated the restriction of asbestos in Xiangjiang. In addition to being public, there should be a careful plan for commercial layout." Shi Chunzhi didn't hide his plan, "I just don't know how Sir Gao has arranged to promote the restriction of asbestos into the legal provisions of the government, and whether I need to make a modest contribution."
Gao Xian was happy immediately. "Lawyer Shi, with your excellent professional ability, I can't refuse your offer at all."
Shi Chunzhi, who was willing to get the participation qualification, smiled, "it's my honor to contribute to things related to the vital interests of the general public."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Do the companies of happy group, such as happy energy, have any listing plans? I'll make a unified reply taking this opportunity."This topic is dry goods. Sir Gao's Gaoyi is busy listing other companies all day. He won't be happy that his group will miss such a good opportunity to circle money. In addition, when the future of Xiangjiang is unknown, the company is listed, and it is tacitly understood that local governments will "invest" and risk aversion is not overseas.Those guests who listened to all kinds of scenes and were careless immediately pricked up their ears.Gao Xian said slowly: "happy group and its companies should not launch a listing plan in the next three years."As soon as the answer was thrown out, it really caused great repercussions. There were regrets. There was less opportunity to follow the car to make money. There was relief. No matter how big the pool was, there was still a strong competitor to circle money. More people were confused. Sir Gao, who has such a good market and good management, didn't do anything. It's not like his smart style.Of course, there are people with unique ideas among the guests.For example:Niu Bijian, the owner of Jardine, who witnessed the rapid expansion of Gao's consortium, frowned slightly and secretly guessed that Gao Xian was learning the lesson of too scattered shares before absorbing Jardine?Li Bancheng, who has been playing a game with Hutchison management, has a bad balance in his heart. It seems that Sir Gao's digestion of land is no easier than my plan to truly fully control Hutchison!Alan Greenspan, who often discusses economic issues with Gao Xian, thinks that every ten years or so, capitalist economies will have a serious economic crisis. The United States has begun to show all kinds of omens. The booming stock market and real estate market in Xiangjiang can not affect the overall situation. Sir Gao is learning to apply it and clenches his fist, Prevent a possible economic winter.Not to mention, Alan Greenspan guessed part of Gao Xian's idea.In the next three years, Xiangjiang will not only be deeply affected by the capitalist economic crisis, which is almost a cyclical law, but also be unable to avoid the problems of Xiangjiang's future. In addition, there are a lot of dramas such as business scandals, stock disasters, banking crisis and currency crisis. Now it is easy to circle money and expand uncontrollably. Next, it will be dragged down by external factors and become mired in the mire, In this special period in the "old script", I don't know how many business leaders who show off their instant happiness have fallen into a big somersault!Gao Xian looked around at the crowd and continued with a smile: "Although happy group and its companies have no listing plan for the time being, this does not mean that happy group is conservative and closed. In addition to welcoming the cooperation of external capital, happy group will actively introduce excellent professionals and enrich the management. If possible, I hope to give up the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group and let more professional managers lead happy group forward, And I also have more energy to pay attention to the fields I am interested in. "Even the senior executives of Gao's consortium among the banquet guests heard for the first time that Gao Xian had the idea of making the chairman of the board of directors of the happy group. Therefore, Gao Xian showed that he wanted to "retire" These words made people even more shocked. The executives of Gao's consortium felt that the ceiling of career promotion was higher. What people outside Gao's consortium thought most was that Sir Gao was so young that he planned to retreat bravely? Or did he want to enjoy life without ambition?Shen Bi, head of Huifeng bank, showed a strange look on his face. Gao Xian was frightened by the problem he wanted to discuss just now. So he retreated behind the scenes and stayed away from Zhengzhi!As for Gao Xian's words about giving up the chairman of the board of directors of happy group, Shen Bi directly went in one ear and out the other. He couldn't be clearer about the structure of Gao's consortium.The specific operation of the whole happy group is realized through the management committee. Although each senior executive can be independent, he can not monopolize the power alone; Gao Xian has another strong Secretariat directly subordinate to himself to supervise the coordination and cooperation of various subsidiaries and departments.More importantly, Gao Xian firmly controls the equity of happy group through the happy strategy and happy investment at the top and back. Even if he gives up the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group, he is nothing more than a figure like Niu Bijian in Xiangjiang business circle. Even if he is brilliant, he is actually a senior worker.If Gao Xian really wants to retire, why not just hand over the control of Gao Yi?Shen Bi's eyes turned. Gao Xian was really slippery. If he really stepped down from the position of chairman of the board of directors of happy group, he would be free. He could vaguely deal with some problems, and then Xiangjiang business, especially Chinese capital, would lose a heavyweight who responded to his own ideas.Notice that people can't help whispering. Gao Xian is funny to himself. If I don't create some topics for you, I'm free to find sensitive topics for me.He continued: "some people may be curious about what I am interested in. At present, there is one, that is, proposing to limit the rampant use of asbestos in the construction industry.""As we all know, asbestos has a long history and wide range of applications in many fields, including architecture, with its excellent characteristics of insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.""However, since 1970, the disadvantages of large-scale use of asbestos have been found. Up to now, authoritative research results show that asbestos fiber is harmful to human body. Inhalation of asbestos dust will not only lead to pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary dust disease, but also induce bronchial lung cancer, pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma and other malignant tumors.""In view of this, in 1971, the United States began to restrict the use of asbestos; in 1975, a book began to restrict the use of asbestos; on our side of the Xiangjiang River, with the rapid economic development, there are more and more buildings, and the residential environment pollution caused by the flood use of asbestos has reached a level that must be paid attention to."In the "old script", in the era when the whole people become house slaves decades later, the problem of formaldehyde pollution is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In this era, the harm of asbestos materials began to be widely recognized. Gao Xian's initiative is far sighted, at least in Xiangjiang area.Banquet guests reacted differently to this. For example, Wang Dehui, chairman of the board of directors of Chinachem, a real estate developer mainly developing in the new territories, was very dissatisfied. Sir Gao took so many gold plots and made so much money that he naturally had leisure and elegance and engaged in some great and glorious fame, but our small and medium-sized real estate developers have to consider the cost rise caused by the restriction of asbestos.Wang Dehui's response is not difficult to understand. Compared with other real estate developers, Chinachem's competitiveness is mainly reflected in the relatively cheap property price, and the price is that the location, design, materials and supporting facilities of the property are not ideal, resulting in insufficient appreciation ability. If Gaoxian's initiative to limit the use of asbestos really becomes an industry standard or even a legal provision in Xiangjiang, it will depend on it As far as Chinachem is concerned, reducing costs and making more profits is tantamount to adding a rope to its neck.In fact, there is also a small gap. That is, when Gao Xian launched the acquisition war of the milk company many years ago, Zhou Xinian, chairman of the board of directors of the milk company at that time, in order to counterattack the accusation that the milk company abandoned valuable land, was ready to join hands with Wang Dehui, who was unknown at that time but had in laws, to develop the land of the milk company. Unfortunately, with Zhou Xinian Sinochem failed to reap any benefits from its exit in. It could only watch with envy. The Koch consortium built a large private housing estate Anfu garden at the bofulin ranch of the milk company and a business circle of the royal building at the Causeway Bay freezer of the milk company, making a fortune of $100 million.Chen Songqing, chairman of the board of directors of Jianing, was very happy. Now, Xiangjiang real estate developers are selling houses to ordinary people, the main consumer group. It is nothing more than cost-effective, Feng Shui, etc. Sir Gao advocated an environmental and healthy selling point. It is a hype opportunity for Jianing, a rising star in the Xiangjiang real estate industry.Those prudent real estate developers are thoughtful. Sir Gao mentioned that in the world, the United States and a book have already started to restrict the use of asbestos. That is the general trend. Xiangjiang must follow up. I'm afraid Gao's consortium has foresight to prepare for a rainy day, and its own company should make preparations as soon as possible.Gao Xian's idea did not fail. He temporarily added several "materials" to his speech. As expected, it aroused a discussion and diverted his attention. Shen Bi had no chance to discuss the separation of governance and sovereignty with him.When Gao Xianjing finished a round of wine and returned to the main position to rest, Shi Chunzhi privately asked, "Sir Gao initiated the restriction of asbestos in Xiangjiang. I must expect that it will involve a wide range. Only by forming the legal provisions of the government can it really have an effect."Last year, Shi Yueqiang accompanied Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao to visit Yanjing. After grasping the general trend of Xiangjiang's future, he began to retire and retired from the top Chinese position in Xiangjiang's political arena as the chief Chinese representative of the Hong Kong government. Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao and London read their hard work and high achievements and gave Xiangjiang the first GBE medal.Despite this pioneering honor, Shi Yueqiang's retirement is still very firm. He not only bid farewell to Xiangjiang's political arena, but also successively resigned from all business positions, and did not even participate in social activities, including heavyweight and high-standard banquets such as Gaoxian. The silence speed is so fast that it has disappeared from the public view of Xiangjiang. On the contrary, Shi Chunzhi, the eldest son of the Shi family, is becoming more and more active."What lawyer Shi said is absolutely right. My proposal only affects some companies at most. If we want to fully implement the restriction on asbestos, we can only rely on the legal provisions." Gao Xian nodded, "why, does lawyer Shi have unique ideas? Please don't hesitate to give us advice.""I don't deserve your advice. Based on my ten-year experience with Sir Gao, sir Gao initiated the restriction of asbestos in Xiangjiang. In addition to being public, there should be a careful plan for commercial layout." Shi Chunzhi didn't hide his plan, "I just don't know how Sir Gao has arranged to promote the restriction of asbestos into the legal provisions of the government, and whether I need to make a modest contribution."Gao Xian was happy immediately. "Lawyer Shi, with your excellent professional ability, I can't refuse your offer at all."Shi Chunzhi, who was willing to get the participation qualification, smiled, "it's my honor to contribute to things related to the vital interests of the general public."
