Chapter 254 The invitation of the Huo family

One of the four major business associations in Hong Kong was established in 1900. It has more than 6,000 members, including manufacturers, traders and various service companies. Since 1957, as the general agent representative of the Canton Fair, it has distributed invitations to the meeting, and has done a lot of work to promote economic and trade exchanges between the two places. It has held courses introducing the Hong Kong economy for mainland officials every year.

The Hong Kong China Business Association is a non-profit Chinese business group. It was established in 1900 and is one of the longest and largest business associations in Hong Kong. Currently, it has more than 6,000 members, including group members, business members and individual members. The business operations of the members cover all kinds of Hong Kong's industry and commerce, including manufacturing, import and export trade, banking, insurance, real estate, construction, information technology, professional services, transportation, food, department stores, wholesale and retail, food services and tourism. Since its establishment, the Business Association has been committed to serving the society and moving forward with the times.

The Business Association maintains close ties with business associations around the world, especially overseas Chinese industrial and commercial associations. It has a closer relationship with the Mainland Business Association and has always played an active role in promoting mainland foreign trade and promoting international investment in China. Since 1982, the Business Association has held training courses every year to assist the Mainland in training economic managers to support the mainland's economic reform and opening up policies. After 1984, Mr. Huo was elected as the president of the Hong Kong China General Business Association.

Mr. Huo has made great contributions to the country throughout his life. Since the reform and opening up, he has actively participated in the economic construction of the mainland. He has successively invested or donated many major projects, including the Dashi Bridge in Panyu, Luoxi Bridge, Shawan Bridge and four bridges on the Guangzhu Road. He has worked hard for more than ten years for the development and construction of Guangzhou Nansha. He has built Guangzhou Nansha Beach New City on the tidal flats. He has devoted himself to the country's education. Since the 1980s, he has donated huge sums of funds to establish various foundations to support mainland education and build a large number of teaching facilities. So far, his foundation has donated a total of HK$760 million to education and cultural undertakings across the country, of which more than 15 million US dollars have been donated to more than 2,000 young teachers.

In addition, he and other patriotic entrepreneurs in Hong Kong jointly initiated the Peihua Education Foundation in 1982, training more than 10,000 economic management talents and ethnic minority areas for the mainland. He spared no effort to support the country's sports industry. In 1974, with his vigorous efforts and active efforts, China resumed its seat in the Asian Football Federation, and since then he actively promoted China to return to international organizations in badminton, basketball, volleyball, bicycle and other sports.

In addition, Mr. Huo made significant contributions to Beijing's hosting the 11th Asian Games and bid for the 2008 Olympics. In order to inspire sports athletes from the motherland, he awarded prizes to athletes and coaches who have achieved outstanding results in the Olympics and other major international events many times. He also donated huge sums of money to build the China Sports History Museum and the China Martial Arts Institute, built sports facilities in many places and schools across the country, and established an Asian chess fund dedicated to promoting Chinese chess to the world.

Over the past 20 years, he has donated more than HK$1 billion to support the development of domestic competitive sports and mass sports. He is also very concerned about the construction of the old ** area and proposed to establish a "Red Triangle" economic zone with complementary advantages between the three old ** area Shaoguan, Guangdong, Ganzhou, Jiangxi and Chenzhou, Hunan. Through the foundation, he donated HK$150 million to the infrastructure construction and various exchange activities in the region, making positive contributions to the economic development of the old area. During the 1992 flood in East China and the 2003 SARS period, he donated huge sums of money.

He also donated money to support the China Disabled Persons' Federation to carry out relief work, caring for and supporting the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine. His kindness was fully recognized by the country. In 2005, he was awarded the "China Charity Award" from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the China Charity Federation. Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, he has built hundreds of projects in the mainland through the Ho Ying-Tong Foundation, Ho Ying-Tong Sports Foundation, Ho Ying-Tong Panyu Construction Foundation and other institutions he founded, respectively, through sole proprietorship, joint venture, donation, low-interest loans, etc., with a total expenditure of more than 9 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Mr. Huo once said: "We invested and donated in the mainland, with only one purpose, which is to hope that the country will prosper and the nation will be prosperous. I have never forgotten that I am a Chinese. I am willing to do my best to do more practical things for the prosperity of the country." Mr. Huo Ying-tung is an outstanding social activist. He has served as the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for a long time, is enthusiastic about the work of the CPPCC, actively participates in the consultation of major national policies and important affairs, and actively provides suggestions for the cause of reform, opening up and modernization of the motherland.

In addition, Mr. Huo likes to Jiaofeng Glaze. Both at home and abroad, Mr. Huo has great connections, and uses his special identity and influence to widely publicize China's great achievements in reform and opening up and modernization construction, and actively introduce Hong Kong's successful practice of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", and a high degree of autonomy. He always pays attention to the development and changes of cross-strait relations and does his best to the great cause of peaceful reunification of the motherland. He actively promotes economic and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the Mainland, vigorously advocates Guangdong-Hong Kong economic cooperation, encourages Hong Kong people to invest and start businesses in the Mainland, and emphasizes that Hong Kong should play an important role in the process of modernization in the Mainland. He not only introduced the achievements of mainland reform and opening up and the experience of investing in the Mainland, but also often assisted in solving problems encountered by Hong Kong people in the Mainland investment. He is praised by Hong Kong people as a "bridge of communication with the Mainland". In order to promote exchanges between the Hong Kong sports circle and the Mainland, he also promoted the "Provincial and Hong Kong Cup" football match.

Since 1979, he has been held for 28 consecutive sessions. He insists on the life principle of making money in business and not forgetting to give back to society, and enthusiastically supports various social undertakings in Hong Kong. Through his foundation, he has donated large amounts to educational institutions such as the Hong Kong Academy of Medical College, the Hong Kong Vocational Training Council, and the Hong Kong Royal Ren Old Student Association Middle School, and has also made huge donations to the University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He spared no effort to develop the Hong Kong football career and was the president of the first Hong Kong Football Association. He invested in awarding medals and bonuses to Hong Kong athletes who achieved good results in the Olympics. He also invited celebrities from international sports to visit Hong Kong many times to promote the development of Hong Kong's sports industry. He cared about the suffering of the people and was enthusiastic about charity. Over the years, donated funds to many hospitals to build buildings, add equipment, and set up research funds, which have won wide praise.

Of course, Lin Yu was not aware of these things about Mr. Huo, but he still knew some of the things about the Huo family. Zhang Ziyi, who Lin Yu liked in his previous life, was rumored to be the wife of the Huo family at that time, but he didn't know if the news was accurate.

Although I don’t know it completely, Lin Yu still knows Mr. Huo’s patriotic heart. Someone once commented on Mr. Huo like this: “Mr. Huo’s life is a patriotic life of Chinese people.”

Mr. Huo just became the president of the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association last year, but China and the UK had negotiated again and again due to the Hong Kong issue. Now that the dust has settled, many people in Hong Kong are in panic. Mr. Huo was able to call Lin Yu to visit this time, which can be said to be for the future of Hong Kong businessmen.

As we all know, Hong Kong will return to China after 1997, but Hong Kong people are still scared of the national conditions and systems of mainland China. Especially after that decade of turmoil, many Hong Kong businessmen wanted to go abroad because they were afraid that they would experience such a turmoil or that their money would be recycled by the state. However, although the Hong Kong businessmen represented by the Huo family and Li Chaoren were also worried, they still actively communicated with the mainland and made great contributions to the return of Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, there is a name that is definitely resounding throughout Xiangdao, that is, Superman Li Ka-shing, Chairman and General Manager of Changjiang Industrial Group Co., Ltd., Li Chao, born in 1928, was born in Chaozhou, Guangdong. In 1940, in order to avoid the oppression of Japanese invaders, his family fled to Hong Kong. In 1958, Li Ka-shing began to invest in the real estate market. In 1979, "Changjiang" purchased an old British-owned business company - "Hutchison Wong".

", Li Ka-shing became the first Chinese to acquire a British-owned business. Honors won: He was elected as a "Hong Kong Storm" in 1981, appointed as a Justice of the Peace in 1981, received the CBe awarded by the Queen of England in 1989, was hired as a Hong Kong affairs consultant in 1992, served as a member of the Preparatory Committee of the Special Administrative Region from 1995 to 1997, was selected as a "Hong Kong Storm" in 1993, and the richest man in Asia in 1999.

Compared with Mr. Huo, Li Chaoren has a greater reputation in the mainland, mainly because of Li Chaoren's titles: "Justice of the Peace, CBe titles, these titles make Li Chaoren famous in the mainland. In addition, he later became the richest man in Asia, which added glory to the Chinese people's face and made everyone know about this Hong Kong storm.

It is precisely because of the existence of these big shots that Hong Kong has returned to the motherland so peacefully, but that is why they only felt relieved after communicating with multiple parties.

After learning that Hong Kong has returned to China, these Hong Kong bosses were also very happy, but they were also a little worried. They didn't know how the country treated them and businessmen after Hong Kong's return. Although they already knew that the old man was very courageous and strongly supported reform and opening up, they were still a little worried. After all, they were not the few of them, but their family, and the future of all Hong Kong businessmen.

This time, Lin Yu was invited to visit Hong Kong for this purpose. In terms of identity, Lin Yu is a businessman, the grandson of Mr. Lin, and more importantly, Lin Yu is also the god-sun of the old man. Such an identity is the most suitable person for them to invite.
