章節 1275: Chapter 1275: Trouble with eternal jewellery
In the end, there are six families in Xiangjiang, including Xia Yu, two families in Aomen, two families in Malaysia, four families in Thailand, three families in Xingcheng, three families in Indonesia, and two families in the Philippines.
There are a total of 22 families!
According to the three men's analysis, no family would be foolish enough to refuse to join this group.
The three men then divided up the responsibilities.
Xia Yu was in charge of dealing with the families of Stanley Ho, Deacon Chiu, Lee Laysang, Lee Shau Kee, Dhanin Chearavanont and Robert Chee.
Bao Yugang was in charge of dealing with the families of Hu Yingxiang, the Tung family, the Chen family, Cheng Xinping, Ng Teng Fong and Kuok Khoon Hong.
Fok Ying Tung has an extra task, being responsible for liaising with the Macau Ho family, the Lee Kong Chian family, the Ng Wai Chung family, the Wong Yick Chung family, the Kuok family, the Hsu family and the Tan family.
For Xia Yu, both Deebat and Lee are partners and can be easily won over.
Not to mention Ho Wang San.
Li Zhaoji needs a little work.
The Indonesian Chearavanont family is itself the largest seller of cars and spare parts in Indonesia and an important partner of Xia Yutian's Tiangong Automobile Group.
The Chearavanont family in Thailand has the loosest relationship with Xia Yutian and there is not much overlap.
However, Xia Yutian is confident that, faced with his invitation, Chearavanont will definitely accept gladly.
Of course, the first person Xia Yutian chose to win over was Li Zhaoji, who was also in Hong Kong.
...
The meeting was held on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
When he suddenly received Xia Yu's invitation, Li Zhaoji was surprised, and sat in his office for half a day thinking about Xia Yu's real intentions.
In the past two years, he had had very little contact with Xia Yu, and their relationship had grown distant. So when he received Xia Yu's invitation, the first thing he thought was whether he had anything that Xia Yu might need.
After thinking about it for a long time, he went through his assets and still couldn't figure out what assets of his would interest Xia Yu.
When night fell, Li Zhaoji went to the appointment with a lot of doubts.
When he arrived at the top floor, he found Xia Yu admiring the night view of Victoria Harbour.
The dazzling light show added a dreamlike colour to the night harbour.
'Mr Xia, good evening, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting,'
'No, it's not late, it's not even the agreed time yet, and I've only just arrived.'
As they spoke, Xia Yu and Li Zhaoji shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, and the distance between them grew a little closer.
'Mr Xia, I have to say, this 'A Symphony of Lights' show created by your company has become a dazzling calling card for Hong Kong just after it was launched. Every night, the passenger flow on both sides of Victoria Harbour has increased a lot, and I have benefited greatly from it too, so thank you very much.'
Li Zhaoji accompanied Xia Yu to the edge and looked at the dazzling 'A Symphony of Lights' across the harbour, unable to contain his admiration.
This 'A Symphony of Lights' was the result of Xia Yu telling Fok Kin-ning about the idea immediately after dinner with Elena, Cindy and the others here.
It took a lot of resources and a long time, and it wasn't officially completed until the end of November 1983.
At that time, Xia Yu had not returned to Hong Kong, but because he spoke with Li Qian and He Chaoqiong on the phone every day, he naturally learned about the trend and positive impact that 'A Symphony of Lights' had created in Hong Kong after its appearance.
As Lee Zhaoji had said, businesses on both sides of Victoria Harbour really had to thank Xia Yu.
'Mr Lee is too kind. The tourism industry is a major strategic development direction for Hong Kong, and this is the consensus of everyone. The rapid completion of 'A Symphony of Lights' is inseparable from the support of the Hong Kong government and everyone. My own strength alone is still not enough.'
'In this era of upheaval, going it alone is not sustainable. Only cooperation and win-win is the long-term way forward.'
'Don't you agree?'
Xia Yu said, turning his head and smiling at Li Zhaoji.
Li Zhaoji's expression twitched slightly, as he secretly pondered the meaning of Xia Yu's words.
'Mr Xia is right, cooperation is the only long-term solution,'
he added with a smile.
Xia Yu smiled and invited Li Zhaoji to join him at the table: 'Mr Li, let's sit down and talk about the present and the future, about Hong Kong and about us.'
'After you!'
Lee Zhaoji made a gesture of invitation and said that he must invite Xia Yu to sit down first before he sat down opposite Xia Yu.
'Mr. Lee, I have just returned from the island country. Do you know what I think after I returned?'
Lee Zhaoji's gaze sharpened, and he shook his head solemnly and said, 'I would like to hear the details!'
Xia Yu smiled slightly and said softly,
'First, Xiangjiang is developing better and better.'
'Second, competition in Xiangjiang is becoming more and more fierce.'
Li Zhaoji pondered for a moment, nodded in deep agreement, and agreed with Xia Yu's view: 'Mr Xia is absolutely right. Business in Xiangjiang is now easier to do, but also more difficult.'
'Yes.'
'So we must prepare for the future and establish a stable order at this time, so that Xiangjiang will become more and more prosperous under our plan, don't you think?'
Xia Yu finished with a faint smile, and his deep, starry gaze looked calmly at Li Zhaoji.
Li Zhaoji was finally moved at this point. A shocking thought occurred to him, and he asked with some anxiety, 'Mr Xia, are you planning to restore order to Xiangjiang?'
Under Li Zhaoji's intense gaze, Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's Xiangjiang, and it's not just Xiangjiang. My sights are on all of Southeast Asia.'
'Are you interested, Mr Li?'
Li Zhaoji nodded without hesitation, saying, "I must be!'
Xia Yu's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a light smile, 'Mr. Li really hasn't disappointed me, so I won't beat around the bush.'
'Right now, there are surging undercurrents in Hong Kong, with various families and forces banding together. I can't possibly turn a blind eye to this.'
'You probably have some understanding of my character. Either I don't do it, or I do it and do it to the best of my ability.'
'I intend to unite friends with the strength and position to create a regional conglomerate spanning Hong Kong, Macau, and the entire Southeast Asia. We will cooperate together for mutual benefit and win-win results, and join hands to create brilliance together!'
After the true purpose was fully revealed, even though Li Zhaoji was prepared, he was still overwhelmed by Xia Yu's ambition.
But after the shock, the first thought in his mind was to join.
Therefore, he said without hesitation, 'Mr Xia, I am willing to join!'
Li Zhaoji's decisiveness surprised Xia Yu, and he immediately smiled, 'Your decisiveness took me by surprise, and I thank you for your trust in me.'
After saying this, Xia Yu took the initiative to stand up and extended his hand to Li Zhaoji, who immediately stood up and shook Xia Yu's hand, and also praised Xia Yu very naturally.
'Mr Xia, you don't know, if you talk about the most anticipated partner in the whole of Hong Kong, it has to be you. It is my honour to be able to work with you in depth!'
'Haha, Mr Li is too kind. Let's sit down and talk, there's no need to be so polite.'
'Okay.'
'Mr Xia, may I ask, what are the details of the Southeast Asian consortium you mentioned? Who else will be joining?'
'Including me, there will be 22 founding families from Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia. You will find out who they are later.'
'You are the first person I have approached after Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong.'
'Apart from us, there are only two other people in Hong Kong who are qualified to join.'
Li Zhaoji was overjoyed, but also felt a sense of awe. He had never imagined that there would be so few people who could join Hong Kong.
However, with the three giants Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, it would be enough to rampage through Hong Kong. It was definitely a huge opportunity for him to be able to join them.
With this thought, Li Zhaoji's heart became more and more eager.
Next, the two men enjoyed a sumptuous dinner while chatting away.
That night, Li Zhaoji, the strongest of the other three, was convinced, which made Xia Yu feel gratified.
The next day, he sent invitations to Qiu Deba, Li Laisheng, Xie Guomin and Xie Jianlong, inviting them to meet in Xiangjiang at staggered times.
With Xia Yu's current status, there was no need for him to personally go to others' homes to persuade them; he could just wait at home.
However, just as Xia Yu was planning to get the consortium up and running as soon as possible, he learned that He Chaoying was in trouble.
To be precise, it was Eternity Jewellery, which she headed, that was in trouble.
Eternity Jewellery was having problems sourcing jadeite and diamonds!
And it was all man-made...
