2687 [Third-hand preparation]
"Mr. Xia, you said this, it's a bit too much worrying, right?" Hearing Xia Tian said that the GDP of first-tier cities in mainland China may surpass Hong Kong, even if ATV reporters work for Xia Tian, they couldn't help but question it at this moment.
You should know that in 1997, Hong Kong GDP was 177 billion US dollars. In the same year, China's GDP was 9616 billion US dollars.
Hong Kong GDP is equal to 18% of China's GDP, which is equivalent to the sum of first-tier cities in mainland China, such as Yanjing, Magic City, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Dizhen, Tianjin, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Wuxi, etc.
The gap is so big, it is like heaven and earth. Therefore, Xia Tian said that if Hong Kong's economic development is not good, it may be surpassed by mainland cities within ten years. This is purely alarmist in the eyes of reporters.
"I hope this is alarmist, too." Xia Tian nodded.
Although it is indeed a bit exaggerating to say that the mainland's first-tier cities surpass Hong Kong within ten years. But to be honest, if Hong Kong still repeats the same mistakes as in previous lives, its economy will indeed decline more and more.
Because Hong Kong's economic development relies heavily on the mainland.
First, Hong Kong is one of the most important springboards for the mainland to introduce foreign investment. Many foreign investments are imported into the mainland through Hong Kong channels, so it plays a bridgehead.
Hong Kong is also the main base for mainland capital investment. When many mainland companies want to develop outside, their first stop is Hong Kong. For example, in 1992, Shougang acquired Dongrong and went public through a backdoor listing; in 1993, China Aerospace acquired Kangli Electronics; Everbright Group acquired Ningfa International and established Everbright International...
Second, Hong Kong's real estate industry is increasingly relying on the mainland. Hokkien, Hokkien, New World, Sun Hung Kai, Real Estate, etc., Hong Kong real estate companies are all engaged in real estate in the mainland. The booming real estate market in the mainland has contributed a lot of profits to them.
In the local real estate market in Hong Kong, a large amount of mainland funds are also injected. For example, many of the villas in Banshan are taken by mainland buyers.
Three, nearly 80% of the customers served by the Hong Kong service industry are from the mainland. Mainland tourists travel, shop, eat, stay in hotels in Hong Kong... contributed a large amount of income to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's three pillar industries, finance, real estate, service and the three major industries are closely related to the mainland, so it is inseparable from the mainland. If its relationship with the mainland changes, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.
...
When the reporter heard him say this, he seemed to be unsatisfied and had something to say, and he wanted to ask him in detail. However, Xia Tian didn't want to say too many despairing words on this happy day, so he waved his hands to the reporters to stop the interview.
"Brother, is the future of Hong Kong really that miserable?" Xia Xue asked curiously.
This time she came back to attend the Hong Kong Return Ceremony, and followed Xia Tian’s idea to introduce the mainland’s directors to her and accumulate more connections.
"It's up to man." Xia Tian smiled, "If the whole Hong Kong is united, then the Hong Kong economy will be saved. If the upper and lower levels are divided, then the Hong Kong economy will basically not be better."
"That's it~" Xia Xue nodded, "What should we do?"
"We are ready for three steps. You can protect the foundation of the United States and I can protect the foundation of the mainland. If possible, Hong Kong will continue to invest and develop here. If not, then squeeze it dry." Xia Tian said to the younger sister.
In the United States, although he has a lot of business, his big head is basically controlled by Xia Xue, such as Columbia TV, Snow Media, etc.
Xia Tian is preparing to transfer lightning emails, Yueyin Internet media, Kuaike and others to Xia Xue's name in the future. This will facilitate the US sanitary review.
He himself focuses on developing business in the mainland. In the next ten years, China will be the center of the world economy. For many years, the economic growth rate will be above double digits, from a country ranked 12th in the world's GDP to a country ranked second.
GDP has grown from less than one trillion US dollars now to ten trillion US dollars in 1920 to fourteen years, and it doubles almost every year and a half. This growth rate is quite amazing.
Therefore, the mainland will contain countless business opportunities in the future, which has much more potential than the United States.
So he is planning to stay in the mainland for a long time, focus on developing mainland business, and never miss a business opportunity.
"Yes." Xia Xue nodded after hearing this.
...
A few hours later, the rice-shaped flag over Hong Kong slowly fell, and instead it was a five-star red flag rising slowly.
Hong Kong has officially changed.
Xia Tian was at the exhibition center and experienced this moment with excitement, his whole body trembling!
On the other hand, Prince Chalce, the representative of the United Kingdom, had a gloomy face at this moment.
The big bosses of the British consortium looked like they were dead father at this moment.
They have received rumors that summer is gathering funds and launching a new round of sniping and acquisitions in Hong Kong, which is probably inevitable.
And they lost the backing of the British Hong Kong government, and it is unlikely that it will be difficult for them to withstand the summer attack.
Seeing these people feeling like they were betrayed, Xia Tian couldn't help feeling happy.
These guys forced him to live in the United States for a year and dared not return to Hong Kong.
Now that Hong Kong has returned and they have lost power, he can finally take revenge!
Pu Weishi and Xia Tian collided across the air. When they saw the cold light flashing in Xia Tian's eyes, they couldn't help but feel excited and had a cold war.
He had long heard the news that Xia Tian was planning to use Huifeng Bank as a reason for improper handling of last year's economic crisis to seize Huifeng Bank's Hong Kong dollar issuance rights and replace it with Donga Bank.
In fact, since last year, Huifeng Bank has been sued by Hong Kong people for Fating, but it is supported by the Hong Kong and British governments, so Fating can be delayed, and no case has been filed until now.
But now that Hong Kong has changed, these cases are likely to be filed. Once a lawsuit is filed, it will definitely be detrimental to Huifeng. It not only affects reputation but also morale, but also may cause great harm to its development.
Once Huifeng loses the lawsuit, it will not only require compensation, but also be ruined. Xia Tian is likely to take this opportunity to take away the Hong Kong dollar printing rights.
In this way, Huifeng wants to hold the Hong Kong financial industry again, so he can only have a fantasy.
At that time, Xia Tian will rely on his huge financial strength as the foundation, establish credibility with the power to print money from Hong Kong dollars, and become the backer of the mainland, becoming the overlord of Hong Kong's financial industry. Then, support the pro-China consortium, suppress the British consortium, and finally, completely destroy their power.
In that case, these consortiums will be in trouble.
...
"Mr. Li, Mr. Guo, Mr. Wu... Let's discuss it in my family." Pu Weishi told Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng, Wu Fengzheng and others.
