We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The arrival of the Hong Kong government, Luo Nianzhong and Mi Gao was warmly entertained by the Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

"Luo Sheng, it's so difficult to meet you.

You refused the Hong Kong government dinner last year because of something, so we haven’t seen each other for almost a year, right? ".

"Haha, yes. I've been really busy lately, traveling all over the world.

I dare not say that I am free now, but I still want to thank Mr. Governor of Hong Kong for the invitation."

What was Luo Nianzhong doing? He was just avoiding MacLehose.

The time of the Hong Kong government dinner was when MacLehose was informed that he would serve as governor of Hong Kong for one term. At this time, Luo Nianzhong felt that it was better not to meet.

Although this appointment was decided by Ying Lun, a little inquiry would tell that this was entirely a decision made by Ying Lun to please Luo Nianzhong.

Even though he was compensated with the title, he was just made a lifelong noble, a viscount, at the beginning of the year.

But no one knows what MacLehose himself thinks or whether he may have different opinions.

Luo Nianzhong was not afraid of him. He had a good relationship with MacLehose, so he felt a little guilty about it.

Now seeing his look and knowing that he was not dissatisfied with his current situation, Luo Nianzhong felt relieved.

Could MacLehose not know that what Luo Nianzhong said about being busy was just nonsense and making excuses? It's just a joke.

"Luo Sheng is such a busy person, so why are you coming here with Mi Gao today? There must be some big deal, right?"

"Yes, there is really something that needs help from the Hong Kong government."

Luo Nianzhong nodded and then motioned to Mi Gao to tell MacLehao ​​about the power shortage. MacLehao ​​also frowned after hearing this.

"At this time, Hong Kong Island is flooded with a large number of foreign tourists and reporters from all over the world. This is related to the city's image and the power cannot be cut off."

Luo Nianzhong nodded, "Yes, I mean the same thing, that's why I need help from the Hong Kong government."

"It seems that Luo Sheng has a plan. You might as well tell it and see. If it is feasible, the Hong Kong government will definitely cooperate with it."

"My idea is to find a breakthrough in industrial electricity." Afterwards, Luo Nianzhong told MacLehose his detailed thoughts.

“This wave of passenger flow will not last long, at most half a month.

Those textile and light industry factories operating less than two hours a day will not affect the delivery of their orders, but this requires the support and coordination of the Hong Kong government.

As the proposer of opinions, Far East Group will set an example, and I have already informed them before coming."

Watsons has several large food processing plants in Hong Kong Island. Luo Niazhong had already called Li Xiang and told him his decision.

This is all a face-saving project. How many factories does the Far Eastern Department have on Hong Kong Island? How much profit can be lost?

But this is not an issue that Luo Nianzhong should consider. I have set an example.

"Luo Sheng is so upright and upright. Before the plan was implemented, he started to lead by example."

Luo Nianzhong smiled faintly at MacLehose's compliment, always feeling that the old guy was a bit mocking.

"Hong Kong Island is our base, and it will be more beneficial to us if Hong Kong Island is good.

Everyone knows the meaning of death and coldness, and this sacrifice is nothing at all."

"Okay, Luo Sheng is righteous." MacLehose laughed twice and no longer wondered whether Luo Nianzhong's actions were superficial.

So what if the Far East Group doesn't make any efforts? As long as the Hong Kong government decides that those small and medium-sized enterprises will be injured, this will be the class of capital.

"To be honest, I know that Luo Sheng has nothing to do with Ying Lun's decision to keep me in the job, but I still feel a little bit unable to let it go. Luo Sheng's performance today actually made me change my mind.

Hong Kong Island has entrepreneurs like Luo Sheng who love Hong Kong, and I look forward to working with people like Luo Sheng to develop Hong Kong Island better and better."

The content of a paragraph is not important, just understand the word "relief".

MacLehose gave him face, and of course Luo Nianzhong also wanted to brag about each other in business.

"Believe me, people on Hong Kong Island will remember the contributions made by Mr. Governor. You are one of the most respected governors by Hong Kong people and will be remembered by history."

"Hahahaha. If that were the case, I would have no regrets in my life."

After formulating a specific plan, MacLehose called his secretary to inform him. His style was vigorous and resolute.

After solving the problem of Chunghwa Electric's electric lights, Luo Nianzhong also revealed another purpose of coming to the Hong Kong government today.

"There is another thing about the merger of exchanges."

In 1891, the Hong Kong Stock Brokers Association was established, which was the first stock exchange on Hong Kong Island.

Thirty years later, in 1921, the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange was established.

However, after World War II, in order to restore the economy of Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, the two exchanges merged to form the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange.

However, the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange only serves British capital and does not allow Chinese companies to list here.

So in 1969, the Far East Stock Exchange was established, and its trading volume soon exceeded that of the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange.

Seeing this situation, Chinese businessmen established the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange and the Kowloon Stock Exchange in 1971 and 1972.

At this point, the Hong Kong stock market has officially entered the era of four exchanges.

The popularity of stock trading completely ignited the stock investors in Hong Kong Island, and the era of national stock trading has arrived.

Firefighters sprayed water on the exchange to prevent investors from trading stocks, and investors quit their jobs to speculate in stocks full-time. Many lawless people saw opportunities.

Due to the imperfection of relevant legal and regulatory mechanisms, many scammer companies have taken advantage of the situation and made money through financial fraud, bribery and listing.

This was also one of the causes of the largest stock market crash in the history of Hong Kong Island.

The stock market crash in 1973 directly caused the Hong Kong stock market to shrink by %. The Hong Kong government also introduced regulations on the management of stock exchanges, and later began to promote the merger of the four stock exchanges.

Historically, it took two years for the four institutions to merge to form the Stock Exchange, but Luo Nian could not wait any longer and needed to speed up the merger process.

Not to mention other companies under Far East, Far East Chip and Honor Computer have already established plans to go public.

Luo Nianzhong's base camp is on Hong Kong Island. He definitely hopes that Hong Kong Island's financial industry will get better and better, and many of his companies will also choose the Hong Kong Island stock market as their first choice.

The listing of a company with such a huge market capitalization will cause other listed companies to fall on any exchange.

The market is so big, and with the Far Eastern Group's status on Hong Kong Island, it will definitely attract many investors to sell the stocks of other companies to buy the stocks of the Far Eastern Group's companies.

If there is too much selling, the market value of other companies will inevitably fall.

Therefore, Luo Nianzhong wants the four institutes to merge as soon as possible and make the market bigger.

Coupled with the international capital attracted, Hong Kong's stock market will be driven to develop into a good situation as much as possible.

These two companies are Luo Nianzhong's experimental products. If the results are satisfactory, another behemoth will be listed on Hong Kong Island, and that is Watsons.

Although Watsons is still developing rapidly, it has reached a bottleneck. If it wants to make a qualitative breakthrough, it needs to acquire related companies in various countries.

It is impossible for Far East Group to provide this part of the money itself. Welch has already mentioned the idea of ​​listing Watsons to Luo Niazhong.

Watsons is now one of the world's largest food companies and is about to take over the Coca-Cola shares from the DuPont family.

The group's internal valuation has reached US$250 billion and is likely to exceed the US$300 billion mark after listing.

However, in order to make better money, one should choose to split multiple companies and list them separately.

But even so, the combined size of several companies is still too large.

If the four institutions do not merge, a whale rushing in is likely to cause a chain reaction, and the probability of a stock market crash is not small.

This whale will eat all the food on the plate, leaving other fish and shrimps with no meat to eat.

But investors don't know whether they will catch up with this whale and take off together. It is certain that they will sell other stocks to subscribe for Far East Group's shares.

Subscription does not require funds, but after winning the lottery, it is not so easy to sell the stocks if you have a lot of funds. You can sell them at an ideal price.

Investors do not have the ability to raise large amounts of funds elsewhere, so selling stocks is the only way.

MacLehose listened to Luo Nianzhong's explanation and thought about it carefully.

"Let's see. Director Peng Zhizhi is not in the Hong Kong government now. When he comes back, I will ask him to discuss it with you in detail. After all, he is more professional and this matter is under his jurisdiction."

Peng Lizhi is the newly appointed Financial Secretary at the beginning of the year, succeeding Xia Dingji.

He was previously the chairman of Swire & Co., Ltd., and it was under his leadership that Swire & Co. became one of the four largest foreign banks in Hong Kong.

"Okay, this cannot be decided in a short time, so I will just wait for Director Peng's arrival."

After the two things were said, Luo Nianzhong did not stay in the Hong Kong Government for too long. He chatted with MacLehose for a while, promised to come often in the future, and then left with Michael.

When he came out, Michael lamented that his status was not enough, and he was just a foil in conversations with the Hong Kong Governor and Luo Nianzhong at this level.

"Boy, don't be discouraged. Once you inherit the family business, your status will naturally improve."

That's what he said, but Luo Nianzhong's tone made Mi Gao feel disgusted.

How is this like elders educating younger generations?
