"Why do we have the conditions for reform and opening up now? Why are we confident that we can become the base for Western industry transfer? Everyone must understand one thing, in the world's development, China, no other country has a complete industrial system like China! This is a self-sustaining, self-replicating, and self-upgrading industrial system! " It was not because of the reform and opening up that the productivity of the mainland had a leap, but because all the factors for the leap were ready, and the reform and opening up was just the fuse.
Li He didn't mind that he had changed the topic again. In his heart, if he didn't say these things out, he would feel guilty in his heart.
The people in the audience, especially the mainlanders, seemed to have an epiphany.
"So I don't need to say this. Another point, I think our cultural attribute is very important. Good traits cannot be passed on to the next generation, this kind of trait transmission benefits from culture and social class. Hundreds of millions of poorly educated Chinese can barely speak any Mandarin, but no one doubts their Chinese identity … "
"After the reform and opening up, everyone's sense of superiority and inferiority is more subtly conveyed throughout the culture. This is a well-founded question. To be honest, most of the Chinese I see see the US as the only competitor. Although everyone admits that Japan is stronger than us, Britain and France are stronger than us, and their technological and industrial strength are stronger than us, very few people say that we will be like Japan, Britain and France in the future. At most, we hear that we will develop like the US in the future, and our goal is to be number one. Although they say no, in fact, they are not convinced in their hearts. Let me say another point, and I think Mr. He should agree with it the most. Chinese are the most addicted gamblers in the world. They seek opportunities in risks, no matter how wild those opportunities are. Therefore, with strength and ambition, we can definitely compete on the international stage. "
The people in the audience were once again amused by Li He's words, and many of the mainlanders present had a different kind of pride and arrogance!
Yes, I dare to bet!
I dare to take risks!
I dare to fight!
Many people turned their eyes to Gambling King He, who had been silent all this time.
Gambling King He smiled and nodded, "Of course."
"The third great achievement is actually the great concept of one country, two systems."
Li He finally got to the point of this so-called welcome speech. His original intention was to fool around with a few words, but when he thought about it seriously, how many of the people who came this time really came to congratulate him?
Since he had already walked onto the stage, it was impossible to fool him with just a few words. Instead of waiting for trouble later, he might as well reveal his stance and trump card.
He had another important thought. He wanted to communicate to others what he knew and what he believed, regardless of whether they believed it or not.
It was as if he had a duty and obligation to do so.
"The proposal and establishment of one country, two systems is a pioneering undertaking in human history." Li He finished the liquor in his hand in one gulp, then passed it to the waiter next to him. He thanked him and continued, "But Hong Kong's problems are ultimately left to the people of Hong Kong to solve. Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy is written in the Basic Law. This policy would not change for the next fifty years, and it would still not change after fifty years. What I want to talk about is the economic topic. Everyone is concerned about the future of the economy. Mr. He, Mr. Bao, Mr. Li, Mr. Shao should be very clear about the source of Hong Kong's economic success. As everyone knows, before liberation, the Pu River was the window between China and the rest of the world. The entire Yangtze River Basin is a big bow, and the arrowhead is the SH. Hong Kong is a military port, and it has no value. After the war, a large number of industrial capital from the mainland came to Hong Kong and invested in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's industrialization began. If it was not for the US blockade and embargo, Hong Kong would not be able to compete with the mainland. Of course, there are no ifs in history. I have to tell you the truth. Once the mainland economy rises, Hong Kong's cross-border processing trade system will be difficult to transform. In the end, there will only be financial and real estate industries and an increasingly single economic structure. On the other hand, Singapore, with a similar status, is mainly trading, but because of the lack of competition, it is entirely possible to retain its core processing industry in the future. So even if Hong Kong's garment, electronics, and toy industries decline in the future, it is not because of the central government, but the complete result of market competition. But there is no doubt that it is very likely to treat the mainland as the opposite, and carry out directional attacks. "
The audience understood, but at the same time, they did not fully understand. Only a small number of people nodded.
"But I am also very confident of Hong Kong's economy." Li He does not have any confidence. God knows what Hong Kong will have in the future other than finance, real estate, tourism, and retail. Of course, this does not mean that Hong Kong's economy will decline. It is just that the economy is stable, and it is hard for there to be explosive growth. But he has to make sure that his words are true. "Although Hong Kong will face competition from the mainland, there is no need to worry. In the short term, Hong Kong's economy will be affected by external factors. In the long term, Hong Kong's economy will be doing well. I feel that the biggest opportunity for Hong Kong's economic development will come from the mainland's change of development methods and industrial structure. Hong Kong must make use of its advantages and seek greater development while serving the mainland. "
“.....”
"Hong Kong's future still depends on the mainland and its vast hinterland. This is the foundation of Hong Kong's development. Hong Kong's market is small, and the mainland's market is huge. The mainland will provide Hong Kong with funds and talents, and it will also provide opportunities for Hong Kong's economic transformation. Hong Kong's enterprises must dare to turn the hinterland into a prosperous land, and overcome the disadvantage of Hong Kong's incomplete industrial chain. They must seize the opportunity and move their manufacturing industries to the mainland. They will make use of the mainland's low cost to increase the competitiveness of Hong Kong's products in the international market. Currently, many Hong Kong manufacturers are doing this. "
"Also, Hong Kong's financial and professional services are incomparable to the mainland. This is an advantage, a very strong advantage. Hong Kong's talents are professional, international, standardized market system, complete judicial system, advanced commercial infrastructure, fair and transparent regulatory system, and a lower tax environment. These advantages are obvious. I dare to boast to all of you today: How ambitious you are, and how big your market will be. "
Li Chaoren, Li Zhaoji, Ferry King, and the rest smiled and nodded.
"Of course, what I said is not only for the business community. It is also for all the actors and actresses present." Li He continued with a smile. "As the exchanges between the two countries increase, you will have the opportunity to produce more outstanding films in the mainland."
But many actors did not react to this, and some even snorted.
An A-list actor's salary in the mainland is not even comparable to a small role actor in Hong Kong. How can they develop?
Li He did not pursue the opinions of these people. He did not want to explain or argue with them, because he had said what he needed to say, and he had done his duty. If life was linked to the lofty responsibilities of the times, he would occasionally feel proud.
"Thank you for listening to me talk so much nonsense." Li He smiled and said, "Today is my daughter's one-month birthday party. It might be a little inappropriate to say so much, but most of you here are from the business community. As the saying goes, business is business. I still want to discuss more with all of you and find more opportunities for cooperation. Thank you again for coming! Thank you very much! "
Then, there was a loud applause.
Li He bowed slightly to the audience and walked off the stage.
The music started again.
The so-called banquet had just begun.
Li He took a glass filled with beer from the waiter and clinked glasses with the people around him to show his gratitude.
"Mr. Li He, you said it very well." A short but spirited old man toasted Li He. As soon as this old man came over, many people around Li He consciously walked away.
"Thank you, Mr. Dai." Li He remembered this is the chairman of the stock exchange, Dai Quan, the chairman of the Yuen Long District Council, the real tyrant of Yuen Long, known as the big landlord of Yuen Long. Loud Speaker, who has been talking and laughing beside him, was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Mr. Li, if there is a chance, I would like to invite you for tea. Please do come."
"You're welcome, Mr. Dai. I will invite you another day." Li He clinked glasses with him again and said, "Please take care of me."
"I can't afford to take care of you." Dai Quan smiled brightly and said, "Please take care of me, Mr. Li."
PS: Sorry, sorry. Because of some family matters, I was delayed. I didn't even ask for leave. It's not easy to live. I hope everyone can understand. If there are still people who don't give up, please use your true love to give this old hat a ticket … Laugh and cry.
