Inside the Peninsula Hotel

In a large conference room

After all the rich and powerful people entered the venue and took their seats in an orderly manner, Yang Chen stopped talking with a few big people around him.

On the stage, the person presiding over this meeting was not Boss Yang.

Nor is it Huo Jianhuang who always follows Boss Yang, helping him lead the secretary's office and handle various things.

Shen Chow, the former chief executive of HSBC Bank, is a figure who has left a mark in the history of HSBC and the business community in Hong Kong.

His arrival was something that many local bigwigs in Xiangjiang did not expect. Today, the home field here is Yang Chen and Yang's consortium. It is impossible for people who are not affiliated with Yang Chen and Yang's consortium to stand on the stage.

But now that the other party is standing there, the meaning is self-evident.

As early as the beginning of this year, after Yang Chen received repeated persuasion from Shen Chou and revealed his intention, he immediately flew to the UK and had a private communication with Shen Chow.

After that, Yang Chen handed over the branches of Hang Seng Bank in Europe and some banks and shares acquired by Yang's consortium in Europe to Shen Zhou.

In name, Shen Chou took over and presided over all the companies of the Yang Group in Europe, but in fact, because of Alyssa's special status, she was given a large piece of power.

In addition, due to the limitations of the secretary's office, Shen Chou was also greatly restricted in terms of personnel and finances.

Even so, Shen Chow's power is still very powerful, especially after Black Monday, the Yang Group expanded rapidly in Europe and controlled hundreds of European companies.

Some people may think that 100 companies are too few. After all, there are not 18,000 companies in that European country. The 100 companies in Europe are just a drop in the bucket.

If someone simply judges by quantity, they are too ignorant. Think about the fact that in later generations, Li Chaoren became the richest man in China. What did he rely on? It was his two listed companies, Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa.

Although the Yang Group does not hold many companies, the strength of each company it holds cannot be underestimated, and almost all of them have steadily entered the top 500 companies in Europe.

In other words, nearly one-fifth of the well-known companies in Europe are currently controlled by Yang Chen or the Yang consortium.

In comparison, an HSBC bank is far inferior.

It is for this reason that Shen Zhou joined Yang's consortium at Yang Chen's personal invitation and became one of the top executives of Yang's consortium.

Most of the rich and powerful people who came to participate today are Europeans and Americans. In this era, European and American rich people still make up the majority.

Regarding high-tech, the rich and powerful people in Europe and the United States are more interested in and understand better. In order to facilitate communication, Yang Chen arranged for Shen Zhou to come on stage to host the conference.

After a long speech, Shen Porridge pointed to Boss Yang who was sitting in the front row and said: "Everyone, please welcome Mr. Yang Chen Yang to the stage with warm applause."

As soon as Shen Chu finished speaking, Yang Chen straightened his clothes, then got up from his seat and walked towards the stage.

When he walked to the stage, Yang Chen looked at the group of rich and powerful people below and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

In the later generations, the big guys in the country, who knew this and that, were the same people who came and went.

And now, with just one word, he made the world's top richest people and the heads of giant companies gather together, and each of them sat down and waited quietly for him to speak.

Compared with these people, and finally those in China who know everything, they are simply insignificant.

Yang Chen pressed his hands on the podium, looked at the people below, and asked: "While I'm speaking, at least, I would like to ask everyone, have you had breakfast?"

"If you haven't eaten, then I have a very unfortunate news to tell you. The next time will be very long, and you will have to endure hunger."

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard Yang Chen's opening remarks. They didn't expect that Yang Chen would have the intention to joke with them on such an occasion.

Yang Chen: "Don't laugh, what I said is true."

"Haha..." Everyone clapped and laughed, even more enthusiastically than before.

Seeing this, Yang Chen showed a helpless expression, and after everyone had stopped laughing, he raised his hand to suppress it, and continued: "Everyone, I invite you to come here today. The main topic is the global high-tech industry.

"

"If anyone wants to come up and talk in a while, everyone can raise their hands and everyone can speak freely."

"In addition, there is the issue of the construction of high-tech industries in Hong Kong. Let me declare here that on behalf of the Yang Group and the Government-General of Hong Kong, I welcome all major high-tech companies from around the world to invest in Hong Kong."

…

The entire conference lasted five or six hours, which was exactly what Yang Chen said before. It was really, really long.

However, everyone gained a lot from this conference.

Because on the topic of high-tech industry development, Yang Chen has opened up a lot of horizons for many big guys through the development of global high-tech industries in later generations.

At the same time, Yang Chen promised to relax the entry restrictions on Xiangjiang's Gaoxing technology industry. In addition to local enterprises in Xiangjiang, other foreign high-tech industry companies, whether they are sole proprietorships or joint ventures, can obtain free construction land in the high-tech industrial park.

There are no messy taxes in Xiangjiang, and there is no need to pay taxes on imports and exports. If it is really used to develop manufacturing, this will have great advantages for the manufacturing industry.

It's just that the population of Xiangjiang is too small, and labor costs are getting higher and higher with economic development, so that Xiangjiang cannot retain the manufacturing industry in the later period, and can only transform to the financial and service industries.

If a large number of high-tech industrial companies enter and settle in Xiangjiang in the early stage of transformation, this will make the future development of Xiangjiang more reasonable and lasting.

After everyone had almost left, Prince Charles said: "Yang, let's go out for a drink later."

Yang Chen shook his head and said: "No, I have to go back in a while."

Prince Charles joked: "You told me before that getting married is equivalent to stepping into the grave of marriage. You have stepped into three graves at once, and the sequelae are coming!"

Yang Chen didn't care at all and said with a smile: "We are different. One is a grave, two or three are heaven."

Prince Charles: “…”

Prince Charles felt like he was beeping because he found that what Yang Chen said made sense. Marrying one person would mean stepping into the grave, but marrying two or three would not mean heaven.

There is no man in the world who doesn't want to hug anyone. He, Charles, also has this idea, but there are few people who blatantly marry everyone like Yang Chen.

It doesn't matter if you get married, the scene is still so big.

Even if the scene is big, there are still so many big guys coming to support the problem.

Weird things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

When Prince Charles was retorted by Yang Chen, he was speechless and had nothing to say.
