Chapter 610 The hot friendship match
On April 28, outside the TVB Performing Arts Hall in Tseung Kwan O, there were already crowds of people, and a large number of Hong Kong citizens came to watch the mainland table tennis delegation. Although they could not get in without tickets, For many people, being able to take a look outside is enough.
TVB's performing arts hall was built in the early days, with only 1,600 seats in total. This number of seats is enough for most TVB's programs, including the Spring Festival Gala and the Miss Hong Kong election. These two programs are not casually invited outsiders. Come to participate.
But there is a little bit of a table tennis competition that Hong Kong is paying attention to now. The tickets for the game are not sold at the price, but based on social status, you can tell TVB in advance, and then come first and then arrive. Otherwise, , scalpers can make the price to the sky.
But for super rich people or people with a certain status, it is naturally easy to get in. There is even a special VIP location. The second floor of the performing arts hall has been blocked by security guards. It is not ordinary People can't get in at all.
Yang Wendong has brought his family here, and many Chinese rich people in Hong Kong have also come; "Hello, Bao Sheng." Yang Wendong said with a smile at Bao Yugang and shook hands.
Bao Yugang also smiled and shook hands: "Isn't you interested in table tennis? Is there a chance to play with me next time?"
"Haha, I'm just an amateur , I will set up a table tennis table in the sunroom at home, and invite everyone to play together at that time?” Yang Wendong said.
Super rich people usually gather occasionally, but they don’t eat every day, and they also have appropriate activities;
Most rich people like golf courses, in Europe and the United States, and in Hong Kong, the same is true for golf courses, but in the early years, golf courses were controlled by British capital. Except for some Chinese rich people, they didn’t like to put on their faces and put on their cold butts in the past.
Bao Yugang nodded and said, "This is OK. You can take shelter from the wind when you bask in the sun, but it's better to add a badminton."
"No problem." Yang Wendong smiled and agreed. Dao;
Many super rich people are still young and cannot do strenuous exercise. Table tennis feathers and the like are quite suitable.
Bao Yugang asked again: "Yang Sheng, I see that some of your old ships are for sale. Could it be that they are not optimistic about the future shipping market?"
"This is not, but the boats I have in my hand are too old. Just sell them to Asian countries for a short trip. Otherwise, if there is any problem on the long voyage, the risk will be too high." Yang Wendong replied.
Although shipping makes money in this era, it is really an old ship, and Yang Wendong is not very brave to use it hard anymore. It is a trivial matter if the road is broken, and if it sinks, it will be a big trouble.
Another two years of oil crisis will hit the global shipping industry. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1975 was a critical hit, and shipping is also a heavy asset, so it needs to be prepared in advance, and at least some old ships need to be cleaned up.
Bao Yugang nodded and said, "So that's it. Actually, I also feel that the risks of the navigation industry are getting higher and higher. If peace in the Middle East recovers, it will immediately cause major problems;
And there are too many ships launched in the water in the past five years, and I am not sure if I am right or wrong."
"Baosheng, your boat is for long-term rental, and the risk is the smallest for you." Yang Wendong said.
Bao Yugang shook his head and said, "Long-term rental is just a small risk, not without it. I buy a boat at a high price. In terms of rental, I also follow the market, but I just rent it to a company for a long time."
Yang Wendong said: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much. The global economy has developed very well over the years, especially in the whole of Asia. The economy has developed rapidly and the demand for import and export is very high. This is our huge guarantee. ”
In fact, the shipping crisis in the 1970s should have erupted long ago, but it was because of the sustained development of the global economy that even the oil crisis could not suppress the rise of the Asian international economy, which made the shipping market slow down for seven or eight years. , it did not begin to collapse until the early 1980s.
Bao Yugang also agreed: "Yes, this is also something I am optimistic about."
Yang Wendong smiled again: "Bao Sheng has invested in the port industry now. The future demand for container terminals is solid, so don't worry too much."
Bao Yugang nodded and said: "Yes, thank you very much." Yang Sheng's help, otherwise I wouldn't have won't have been able to take Kwai Chung Port so easily."
In the early days of competing for ports, in addition to HSBC, Hang Seng Bank also provided him with sufficient financial support, otherwise even if it was It is not that easy for him to fight against British giants. "Hello, let's just run Hong Kong and the port together in the future." Yang Wendong said with a faint smile.
Although there will be some competition, it is too normal for a small place like Hong Kong to be a conflict. If it does not involve monopolies, there is no need to be an opponent.
Moreover, some Chinese in Hong Kong history, Yang Wendong in his previous life also had some good impressions. When it was impossible for him to completely monopolize Hong Kong's wealth, it would be much better to bring these people to the Chinese who defected to the British ghosts.
After a greeting, the two separated, and Yang Wendong saw another acquaintance: "Huo Sheng, it's been a long time since we met." Yang Wendong stepped forward and shook hands. This person was naturally the most famous person. Old Huo is old.
Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "Yes, Yang Sheng, you know my situation in the past few years. My career direction is mainly to Southeast Asia, and I have only returned recently; but although I am in Southeast Asia, I also feel that When Yang Sheng's career was successful, I have visited Carrefour and Changxing Cinema several times in Southeast Asia. "
"Haha, that's great. From now on, you go to my theater to watch movies, it will be free." Yang Wendong laughed.
After 67 years, Huo Yingdong's industry was targeted by the Hong Kong and British government, and was forced to transfer a large amount of funds to Southeast Asia. Even people often did not stay in Hong Kong, or stayed at their own homes, and did not engage in activities with others;
It may be that he knew that if he went out for an event, it would only cause some trouble to others;
Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "This is not necessary, I encounter a movie I like. , It's still time to pay for it. I like Li Xiaolong's fighting scenes very much. Now Hong Kong movies are very successful in Asia, and many non-Chinese locals also like to watch them. Yang Sheng's actions over the years are really amazing."
Yang Wendong nodded and said, "I just hope that Hong Kong movies can be popular in Asia and even the world, so that I can promote my Chinese culture."
Making money by movies is actually secondary. The scale of this industry is limited. Even if it reaches the Hollywood level, it cannot compare to real estate, stock market, electronics and even ordinary manufacturing industries;
But in terms of culture, it is not just about money. What can be replaced is that the Hollywood culture in the United States has been influencing the world for many years. When Hong Kong and Korean dramas were at their peak in their previous lives, they will also attract countless fans from other countries.
This is also a kind of control of traffic. Similar to the future Internet, if it is really used well, it will also play a great role. "Haha, it's okay. Chinese culture is the orthodox of Asia. But in the past century, it has been a little decayed. I hope I can stand up completely again in the future." After Huo Yingdong finished speaking, he looked at him. The table tennis player who was about to start the competition below asked again: "Yang Sheng, the mainland table tennis team went to Japan to compete. Based on your news, you should know some of the inside information." Yang Wendong nodded and said : "I know, just like what Huo Sheng said, I probably know a little."
Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "That's good. There are some things that I know are not convenient for Yang Sheng to do, but at this time you don't need to do anything. Just keep the same as before;
No mistakes are made Let’s read every post, content, one in 6, one in 9, one book, one bar!
I heard that Changxing Group has been more and more cooperation with China Resources recently? This is also a very good news. "
"Yes, China Resources bought some overseas goods through my trading company. I also need to purchase supplies from the mainland, but last year it was just a little more." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
Hong Kong of Huoying: "That's enough. With Yang Sheng's identity, it would be great to be able to do a good job in business with the country. The country currently needs a lot of basic resources."
Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I will do it naturally if I have business. Even if I don't have me, I guess other trading companies in Hong Kong will do it."
The demand from the mainland is firm and has nothing to do with the outside world, especially grain, The same is true for the export of fertilizers, chemical fibers, steel, etc., which are all dependent on the port of Hong Kong;
Most of them are designated to be responsible for the mainland capital companies, but some will be handed over to more professional local companies. .
Huo Yingdong nodded and said, "I understand, it's enough for Yang Sheng to keep this. I guess there will be greater surprises in the future, but it's not certain at the moment, so it's not convenient for me to say more." "Then I'll wait." Yang Wendong didn't ask much.
In the next one or two years, there will be too many major events about the mainland. One is to restore the UN seat and become one of the Five Permanent Persons, the second is to establish diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and the third is to make good friends with Western countries. The original history of Hong Kong From 1971 to early 1972, the Hang Seng Index rose from more than 300 to more than 1,700, which has a lot to do with these things. These things are bound to happen now, and the same or even higher data will appear in Hong Kong's financial and real estate market.
Soon, the table tennis match below officially began, and the cameras in various positions also started shooting, and many viewers also started watching the game. After a while, mainland players directly pulled the ball, suppressing Hong Kong players. . "The mainland has always been strong in table tennis." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Su Yiyi beside her asked, "Domestic table tennis has always been very good?"
"Yes, some international competitions in the 1960s won frequently in China." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
The two major camps in the world are confronting each other, but many sports activities can still be participated together. Mainland table tennis began to dominate in the 1950s and 1960s;
After the change of opening, mainland China will be the most popular. The Olympic Games participated in, table tennis was almost completely included in the championship, and the Olympic Committee almost forced to change the rules of the table tennis match.
The competition did not last long, and the gap between the two sides was a bit big, and the mainland seemed to be in a state of relief. It was a little bit, but he won the game in the end.
Assistant Aying came over and said, "Yang Sheng, there will be some competitions in the next few days, and you will go to the University of Hong Kong. Do you want to go?"
"No, I'll watch the game once." Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "Let the hotel pay attention to safety and privacy. Just do more shooting on TVB, and don't need to do anything else."
If you fail everything without standing, just deal with it appropriately. You can show a welcome attitude, but you cannot be too much. If it goes too far, people will doubt it.
Aying agreed: 'Okay. '
Yang Wendong led Su Yiyi and said, "Let's go, let's get a table tennis table when we go home, and the children can play."
