Chapter 208 Reception (Part 1)
The news Victor received from the scene is likely to be true. Jardinet, who holds a large amount of real estate in Hong Kong Island, is likely to avoid the Hong Kong Island Power Control Ordinance and directly supply power to its own property under the name of a new generation of environmentally friendly and energy-saving buildings.
The easiest way is to integrate the electricity bill into the property fee, and then promote the free power supply of the building. The two power companies in the Hong Kong government can only stare at it.
With China Gas selling itself and joining the company, Liwan has taken root in Hong Kong Island a little deeper, and Li Zhengjiang has many properties under its jurisdiction. Due to its business relationship, China Gas has a close relationship with many property management companies in Hong Kong Island. Once the property fee replaces electricity bills, the business model of this kind of property fee is profitable, and large-scale acquisitions of small and medium-sized property companies to compete for power market share is a smooth road for rapid development.
The most tricky thing is that the power station has long legs. I am not afraid of the low-cost strategy of Hong Kong Lights and Zhonghua Electric. The market really cannot beat me. I started the engine and changed the place and was a hero. As a typical listed company, Hong Kong Lights and Zhonghua Electric, how long can it last for the unprofitable period?
The stock prices of listed companies are all expected in the future. If there are power ships that can come back to disrupt the situation at any time, they are eyeing the stock prices of these two power companies. The stock prices of these two power companies cannot be high. For capitalists, there is no future industry at all, how much investment value is left?
The two companies have been studying for several days, but they have not come up with a solution. The other party will not be afraid of a lawsuit. What's more, they are not in the industry at all. No matter how strong you have, you have no place to use it. In the end, business methods cannot be solved, so they can only rely on off-market tricks. Then a series of high-level coal-fired power competitions that try to bind public opinion are officially released.
This time, Liwan Energy held a cocktail party. Although it was his opponent Victor, he decided to come to the scene to get first-hand materials. What if something miracle happened?
The two brothers were talking about Liwan Energy, and the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily and Chengbao turned from the cold area of the buffet to the Li brothers.
As a Hong Kong media, we naturally know where the recent public opinion storm about coal-fired power originated. Since we saw the financial backers behind the scenes, it is difficult to ignore them directly.
"When did Director Li come here? It's not been five minutes since I walked away from here."
Victor took office as Vice Chairman and Marketing Director of the Board of Directors at Hong Kong Lamp. Chairman Li is usually a synonym for Victor Laozi. When Victor was interviewed, he liked to be the Director of Hong Kong Lamp.
The editor-in-chief of the Oriental Daily greeted Victor with a smile.
"I just arrived, too."
"Who is this?"
"My brother, I just came back from North America and happened to meet the opening party in Liwan, and we gathered everyone together and came to see the fun together."
After the greetings, the topic will inevitably be transferred to the landlord Liwan Energy, the person involved, but this kind of occasion is definitely not suitable to slap the table and scold the other party’s bastard.
The family behind the Oriental Daily started with white fans, and the shareholders behind the Chengbao have a deep 4V background. After a few tentative words, the northern background of Liwan became the center of complaints.
"After leaving Yihe, we came to Liwan, our place is also driving tigers at the front door and entering the wolf at the back door."
"I really don't know what the British thought. I refused to be as good as Huang and I, but instead bet on an illusory opportunity."
Both editors are engaged in entertainment and don’t know much about the communications field that represents the new era, so naturally they don’t understand the future of Deutsche Telekom.
Fortunately, Jardinea's revenge on Hong Kong Island was very powerful, and Liwan avoided the bad consequences of squatting with Secretary Ji.
Several people formed a small circle with wine glasses and waited for the official start of the reception. The eldest brother Daweng, who was placed on the small bar beside him, was buzzing and trembling.
"Sorry, I'll answer a call."
After the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily apologized, he walked seven or eight meters away from the small circle of conversation and pressed the answer button.
"Well, I've come in, yes, the cocktail party hasn't started yet."
"Guest? I think it's almost done."
"The Qilian Mountains of United Trust? No one has been seen here at the venue."
"What did you say? Qilianshan is not Jardine's new boss?"
"Are you here with Hepburn, who is reborn? I asked you to stare at the hotel door. Could it be that you have made an old habit and went to Lan Kwai Fong to have a drink?"
"No? How did you say this if you didn't drink, if you didn't drink, you said it?"
"You still dare to swear and promise it is true? Do you think I, the editor-in-chief, are you very good at cheating? Go back to the hotel door to catch the news, otherwise you will have good looks tomorrow."
After saying that, the editor-in-chief of "Oriental Daily" decisively hung up his phone number.
Although there were endless crowds of people at the reception, everyone was not talking loudly. Due to the bad sound quality and signals of Big Brother, the remarks of the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily were almost heard by the small circles here.
"Sorry, sorry, I let everyone laugh at it. The pressure of doing news is great. A reporter below said a lot of drunken words that were less than four or six after drinking."
"I sound like Hepburn's name is. Your reporter is Hepburn's fan?"
As a peer, the editor-in-chief of Chengbao thinks this is a rare gossip.
"I didn't know if it was, but now it seems yes. He told me that Qilianshan got off the car at the hotel door with two rejuvenated Audrey Hepburn. He also said that Qilianshan helped Hepburn open the car door like a secretary, and swears that what he saw just now was true, and asked me if I saw it here."
"Hahaha"
"Hahaha"
The logic has been so drunk. It’s not like drinking too much that it’s considered drinking too much. Everyone in the small circle laughed.
"Hey, Qilian Mountains are here, and Nubijian is here too. Didn't it mean that Nubijian went to the mainland for negotiations?"
"He should have come back from a special trip. Liwan is the first step in the strategy of Nübijian Dayihe. He will definitely not be absent in this occasion."
"Li Zhengjiang has also come out, haha, it's rare to see Li Zhengjiang walking behind someone else. Unfortunately, he doesn't allow him to bring a camera when he is on the cocktail party. This will be another good news if he takes a photo."
With Jardine's economic status in Hong Kong Island, although there are many rivals, there are more small and medium-sized wealthy people living with Jardine. Qilianshan and Nübijian have been greeting each other all the way. The two kept waving to the position of the spokesperson reserved in the middle of the venue, and Li Zhengjiang stood behind the two.
After taking the microphone handed over by the waiter, Qi Lianshan cleared his throat and said bluntly: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the group's cocktail party. I won't say anything about the extra gratitude. I announce that Hong Kong Island Liwan Energy Group has been officially established."
"The opening speech is given below by Jardine Jardine's Chairman Nübi Ken."
Qilianshan handed the microphone to Nuobijian beside him, turned around and left the position where he spoke, and walked into the seafood area near the reception of Buffett, which was next to Victoria Bay.
Nurbijian took the microphone and said in his weird accent: "Good evening, ladies, I had the honor of seeing the birth of a great company on this charming night."
"As the first step of revival of the Greater Jardine Map, I firmly believe that Liwan Energy will grow into a legendary enterprise that has lasted a hundred years and is still full of vitality."
The opening speech of Nuobijian was also very short. I poured a few words of chicken soup, looked forward to the future, and turned around to Li Zhengjiang.
"Welcome Li Zheng*** from Liwan Energy to introduce to you this company that is destined to become a legend."
He handed the microphone to Li Zhengjiang with a smile, and Nuo Bijian turned around and went to the seafood area of the cocktail party that Qilian Mountain had just walked over.
Logically speaking, the establishment of Liwan Energy is the first major move after Jardine Mathematics reorganization, neither Qilianshan nor Nubijian's speech should be so concise.
The problem is that the boss and the boss lady who fought hard against nonsense in Yuanjia came to the scene. Even for the sake of impression, Qilianshan and Nuobijian would not talk nonstop.
What's more, Liang Yuan likes seafood, which has been well known to everyone in Yuanjia executives. After talking on stage for a long time, there are only a few places in the seafood area of the cocktail party. It's hard to say whether there is a place to accompany the boss to accompany him.
Although the speeches of Qilianshan and Nuobijian were short, the temperament of wisdom and confidence in their words was as solid as the essence. This way of speaking without following the routine left a deep impression on the audience of the reception.
However, Li Zhengjiang's speech has become more traditional, which is very consistent with the routine of leading companies in Hong Kong.
Li Zhengjiang first talked about China Gas, talked about China Gas' status in Hong Kong Island, and began to introduce the main business and prospects of Liwan Energy.
As expected, the Li brothers heard a series of words that they didn't want to hear from Li Zhengjiang's mouth, such as natural gas power ships, power transmission and distribution projects.
As the saying goes, the distance between the two is like a mountain. Except for people related to the power industry, no one else thinks that there is anything special about natural gas power ships, nor do they expect that the current coal-fired power discussion in Hong Kong media is actually the prelude to this large-scale competition.
Li Zhengjiang spoke for about five or six minutes, and then stopped the conversation in time and announced that the reception had officially begun.
Western-style cocktail parties have always been one of the best business and social occasions. With the opening of the cocktail party, Hong Kong movie stars who accompanied many Hong Kong rich and famous celebrities also became active, and they made a conscientious guest appearance as a social lubricant.
After Li Zhengjiang announced the start of the cocktail party, Sima Changkun and Er Li's small circle dispersed. Few people missed this rare opportunity to expand their connections.
As the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily, one of the major Hong Kong newspapers, Sima Changkun has a wide range of social profiles. Sima Changkun, from the dessert area to the cold meal area, has bumped into at least seven or eight acquaintances.
"Whether it is finance or gossip, this is simply a media paradise."
Looking at the Hong Kong Island rich man in suits and tie at the cocktail party and the Hong Kong Island actress who was competing with him, Sima Changkun, the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily, sighed with satisfaction while filling his stomach with salad.
"Brother Sima, what are you doing when you hide here alone?"
"Hello, Brother Sima."
"Hey, when did you come here, Mr. Wei? You are so good at beauty Li."
