Chapter 472: Meeting in Hong Kong Island, the Heads of the Three Local Securities Regulatory Commissions Gather Together

While the world's eyes were fixed on the impact of the Pilot 001 car, Chen Xing had already chosen the time to go to Hong Kong Island for an appointment.

Perhaps many people who have never been to Hong Kong Island don’t know that Shenzhen City and Hong Kong Island are actually separated by a river called Shencheng River.

This is similar to the U.S.-Mexico border, where the two are separated only by a border wall.

Since Longxing Group is a company registered on Hong Kong Island, but its global headquarters is in Shenzhen, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of Chen Xing and Longxing Group executives from the two places, both Hong Kong Island and Shenzhen specially issued two dual license plates to Longxing Group.

What is the use of license plates from both places?

Let's just say, hang it and you can drive around Hong Kong Island.

Without license plates from both places, vehicles from the Mainland are not allowed to cross the border and go to Hong Kong Island. Similarly, vehicles from Hong Kong Island are not allowed to cross the border and go to the Mainland.

This is why, although Shenzhen City and Hong Kong Island are only separated by a river, there are no self-driving vehicles with single license plates in Shenzhen City or Hong Kong Island.

"Longxing Group has declared information, one man and two women. There is no abnormality in the face check. There is no abnormality in the customs clearance documents. The identities are confirmed to be Chen Xing, Yao Nana and Zhao Siqiu."

"It can be released."

The staff at the customs port spoke fluent Cantonese. After checking the personnel information with the data center, they quickly handed back the pass documents and made a passing gesture: "Mr. Chen, welcome to Hong Kong Island."

"Thanks."

Chen Xing, who was sitting in the back row, said thank you.

Subsequently, Zhao Siqiu, who was in charge of driving the vehicle, activated the Pilot 001 Exclusive Edition and went straight through the customs port on Hong Kong Island.

【Kind tips! 】

[You have entered the territory of Hong Kong Island. Please abide by local traffic rules. The driverless autonomous driving function is not yet open to Hong Kong Island. If you have any questions, please call customer service for consultation. 】

[The financial center of Hong Kong Island has been located for you. Please drive 5 kilometers along the Shenzhen Bay Highway Bridge and enter the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Highway...]

Because of the navigation, Zhao Siqiu will not get lost.

“Why can’t it be driverless?”

Zhao Siqiu was a little puzzled.

Yao Nana, who was sitting next to Chen Xing, was also confused. She only learned today that unmanned autonomous driving is not open to Hong Kong Island.

"Currently, our autonomous driving level is L3, which cannot completely replace the driver. In addition, Hong Kong Island drives on the right side, so the algorithm needs further tuning."

Chen Xing explained calmly.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to open up autonomous driving in Hong Kong Island, but that the autonomous driving algorithm needs further tuning.

In order to avoid forcibly turning on driverless driving, Chen Xing simply asked engineers to lock the area and wait until the technology matures before opening it up.

"I see."

Zhao Siqiu nodded.

Yao Nana was thoughtful and continued to ask: "By the way, President, do we have an order for our pilot car from Hong Kong Island?"

"Not yet. We still focus on producing left-hand drive vehicles. When the mainland market is saturated, it will be time to produce right-hand drive vehicles."

Chen Xing replied again.

As he spoke, he glanced at the seascape outside the window. The sky was like cloth and the sea was like ink, spreading out the boundless blue.

Just as Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" describes how the autumn water forms the same color as the sky, the river and the vast sky are one and the same color.

…

Central and Western District, Hong Kong Island.

International Finance Center Tower.

This is a famous landmark of Hong Kong Island as a world-class financial center. It is 415 meters high and has 88 floors. It is located on the Financial Street in Central, facing Victoria Harbour, and next to the Four Seasons Hotel, which can provide six-star services.

As its name suggests, this building is mainly rented by large financial institutions, including the Hong Kong Island Monetary Authority.

At the Hong Kong International Finance Building at this time, several Monetary Authority personnel with work IDs around their necks were checking "house to house" to ensure that no merchants or institutional personnel were staying.

"Empty the entire international financial building, and I don't know the intention of the higher-ups. By the way, Brother Wen and Brother Wang, do you know what happened?"

After checking the office floors of several financial institutions one after another and finding that the glass doors were locked, someone asked in confusion.

"I heard there was some important meeting, but I don't know anything else." The man named Brother Wang shrugged, saying that he only knew this much.

"I know a little better." Brother Wen, who has a Hong Kong-style side back and gold glasses, said with a smile.

"What what?"

"What meeting is it?"

"Any inside information?"

Everyone became interested.

Brother Wen looked around and lowered his voice: "I heard that there is a financial conference, which is probably about Hong Kong stocks. And I also heard that people from Baodao are coming and are now staying at the Four Seasons Hotel next door. ”

"Is there someone from Baodao? Is it possible that we need capital from Baodao to drive up the Hong Kong stock market?"

Brother Wang guessed.

"As for whether it's promotion or something, I don't know. After all, we little Karami just adapt to the development of the times." Brother Wen pushed up his glasses and walked into the elevator.

Seeing that they couldn't get any useful information, the other people could only follow up quickly.

On the other side of the inspection team, someone discovered that there was still an organization that had not left, so he simply showed his ID and said:

"I am Chen Wenyi from the Monetary Authority. I am now informing you at the request of my superiors that you must leave this building before four o'clock in the afternoon without any delay. There will be police patrolling the building temporarily. If you are found not leaving, you will bear the consequences."

"Understand, understand. We are going back to the company to get the documents. We will leave immediately. We will leave immediately."

"Yes, they just came back to get the documents."

The few people who got the documents quickly expressed their opinions, raised the blue folders in their hands, and then they hurried away.

After driving the people away, Chen Wenyi picked up the intercom and said: "Two people were found on the 33rd floor to get the documents. They are now taking the elevator downstairs. People on other floors should pay attention."

"Received."

The intercom responded.

At the same time.

The Four Seasons Hotel on the other side.

As one of the few high-end hotels that can provide six-star services, it also hung a sign that it would not receive guests for the time being.

Obviously.

Someone has booked the place.

In a star-rated suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, Xiao Gang, the village chief of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, was looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the scenery of Victoria Harbor and sighing: "I never thought that one day I could also become a figure in history books."

He had received inside information in advance and knew the content of the negotiations tonight.

If the "Stock Market Integration Plan" is really negotiated, Longguo will no longer have three stock markets, but only one stock market.

"Yes, although it may be just a simple sentence in the history book, it is still very fulfilling to witness history and become history."

"I hope everything goes well tonight."

The village chief of the Shanghai Securities Regulatory Bureau, Deng Qingwen, and the village chief of the Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau, Fei Qixian, who were beside Xiao Gang, both agreed.

There are 36 securities administration bureaus in the mainland, which are subordinate institutions of the Longguo Securities Regulatory Bureau. Fei Qixian and Deng Qingwen not only hold important positions, but are also deputy village chiefs of the Securities Regulatory Commission.

Those who know the A-share market know that it has three important indexes, namely the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Beijing Stock Exchange, which can also reflect who is the village chief with real power.

In other suites, the negotiation team of the Securities Regulatory Commission of Baodao has also arrived.

Not only was the team led by the village chief Jiang Jiahong himself, but the CEOs of large pillar enterprises in Baodao, such as TSMC, Foxconn, Nvidia and MediaTek, had arrived in advance and rested in the suite for one night.

TSMC CEO Zhang Miao sat on the sofa, looking at Huang Renxun beside him, and couldn't help asking: "Old Huang, we are old acquaintances. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so bold that you actually transferred all the company's business in the United States back to Taiwan. Did they cause you any trouble?"

"Lifelong entry ban, but it doesn't matter. I don't want to set foot in the United States again." Huang Renxun looked indifferent.

People who have never been abroad think that the air outside is sweet, but only those who have lived there know that foreigners are not as friendly as some videos promote. Many people are hostile to Asian groups.

For example, minors in Britain, relying on the protection law, can almost be said to be lawless, and no one dares to provoke them.

Although they are protected by law, they are not stupid. They will not provoke black groups because these people may have guns, and Asians who are more honest and abide by the rules can easily become the targets of their attacks or robberies.

For example, the West has been promoting that the people of Longguo love to eat dog and cat meat, which makes some families who raise cats and dogs, and animal protection organizations hate tourists from Longguo, and they will deliberately learn discriminatory actions. This is why, even if you do nothing, there will always be some discriminatory actions when taking a photo.

The problem of discrimination is not exclusive to ordinary people, even Huang Renxun has suffered from it.

When Nvidia started his business, he suffered from the cold eyes of the American elite class, and they didn't let him integrate into the circle at all.

If it weren't for the GPU changing the pattern of image processing and forcing these elites to pay attention, Nvidia would have closed down long ago.

"I'd like to ask a question. I heard that the reason why Nvidia returned to China was actually because you, Mr. Huang, reached some kind of agreement with Chen Xing of Longxing Group. I don't know if it's true." MediaTek CEO Cai Mingjie also asked curiously.

"Whether it is true or not, you will know tonight." Huang Renxun didn't seem to answer, but he seemed to have said everything.

Zhang Miao, Cai Mingjie and Foxconn CEO Guo Taiming looked at each other. They actually had a private conversation and wanted to know why Huang Renxun suddenly returned.

However.

No one knew the inside story.

They used all their connections and judged the news to vaguely know that Huang Renxun and Chen Xing had an unusual relationship.

"Okay, okay, get ready. We will go to the International Financial Center later, so don't chat." The head of the Taiwan Securities Regulatory Commission, Jiang Jiahong, rounded it off.

He actually knew that TSMC, Foxconn and MediaTek were close to the West, and there was also Jewish capital injection.

If he hadn't taken a tough attitude and put them under "house arrest" in advance, cutting off contact with the outside world, the United States might have known about this stock market negotiation a few days in advance.

...

Central, Taikoo Plaza.

The black-painted Pilot 001, like a black warrior, appeared on Queen's Road. While waiting for the traffic light, several young people couldn't help but approached and chatted.

"Knock, knock--"

They knocked on the car window.

"Excuse me, is this a Pilot? I saw it online, but I didn't expect it to be available in Hong Kong."

"It's really cool."

"How much is this car?"

Zhao Siqiu was already alert, looking at Chen Xing, asking for his opinion.

Chen Xing looked at the people outside the car and responded through the half window: "299,000 Dragon Country Currency. If you like, you can go to the inland to test drive. There is a specialty store in Shenzhen."

"Is the 0-100 time really 2.81 seconds?"

A young man asked.

"No." Chen Xing denied it directly and corrected him: "2.81 seconds is the standard version. Our premium version is equipped with dual motors and can accelerate from 0 to 100 in 2.74 seconds."

"Is it true? 2.74 seconds, this is a value that even super sports car Ferrari has not reached. Is your car better than Ferrari?"

"It seems impossible. Others use carbon fiber to reduce weight, but yours is still a metal structure. 2.79 seconds is too much!"

"Brother, how about this, there are only 24 seconds left at the traffic light, why don't you race for us, and if it's suitable, I will go to the inland to order a car."

"That's right, do you dare to race for us?"

"Are you really going to order?"

Chen Xing joked with a smile.

"Of course, who doesn't know me, Li Zekai, in Central? If I can get below 2.79, I will place an order for 10 cars."

The slightly older man with a crew cut just finished speaking, and the fat man beside him quickly joined in:

"Li Ka Shing knows, his father, we won't lie to you, and there's nothing to lose if you race. If you're afraid of damage to the car, we'll give you 5,000 as compensation."

"Okay, 5,000 is not necessary, you can buy a few more cars at that time as support for me." Chen Xing smiled indifferently and gave Zhao Siqiu a look.

He actually recognized Li Zekai and knew about the romantic past of this young man. Although he looked honest and simple, he had luxury cars and celebrities behind the scenes.

Zhao Siqiu immediately understood and directly turned on the combat mode of the Pilot 001, unlocking all the vehicle performance to the limit.

"There are still 7 seconds."

Li Zekai stepped back two steps, and the other young men also stepped back.

The BMW M4 on the left side of the Pilot 001 made a roar, and it seemed that the owner also heard the conversation between Chen Xing and others.

But this is normal, the right-hand drive car and the left-hand drive car, the driving seats on both sides are less than one meter apart.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Li Zekai finished the countdown, and the traffic light turned green.

The next second.

"Boom--"

Pilot 001 made a deafening roar, and the engine of the BMW M4 next door was still transmitting power. It had already driven out of the waiting line, and its speed made everyone stunned.

"Oh my god, is it really that fast?"

"When it started, the BMW M4 was left behind by half a car body. No wonder it said 2.74 seconds. This Linghang 001 is really something."

"This car is quite handsome!"

Li Zekai looked at the Linghang 001 that was far ahead, and couldn't help but sighed: "I will go to Shenzhen to look at cars someday. I didn't expect that the inland can also build a coupe of this level."

"By the way, do you think that person just now is very familiar? I always feel like I have seen him somewhere." The fat man next to Li Zekai fell into deep thought.

"Stop pretending, Fatty. I guess you got some ideas when you saw the beauties around you."

"Fatty, tell your dad to give me 20 million, and I'll find you two girls like this."

"Skinny Gao, you're really ruthless. You asked for 20 million. Fatty, let me tell you this. Give me 10 million and I'll find you a few girls like this."

Listening to his friend's teasing, the young man nicknamed Fatty suddenly slapped his head and raised his voice several times, saying, "Chen Xing, that person seems to be Chen Xing, the CEO of Linghang Automobile."

"Chen Xing?"

"No way, he's Chen Xing?"

"He's a little too young."

They usually don't pay much attention to the development of Longguo Enterprises. As the second generation of rich people, they basically spend their time on cars, women and various parties.

After hearing what Fatty said, Li Zekai also opened his phone to search for Chen Xing's photos.

"Hiss!"

"It's really Chen Xing!"

Although there are differences between the photo and the real person, the difference is not very big, and the real Chen Xing is much better looking than the photo.

"Bringing two beauties to Hong Kong Island for fun, Chen Xing is indeed the one who is good at both career and women." The fat man showed a look of "you know what I mean", as if he had already figured out something.

However, Li Zekai didn't think so, because he had heard his father mention Chen Xing more than once. He was a career maniac. He came to Hong Kong Island not for fun, but for other purposes. The most important thing was to bring women out for fun. Who would let a woman drive?

"I have to tell the old man."

Li Zekai found an excuse to leave, returned to his Ferrari in the parking space, and called Li Jiacheng.

"Beep--"

After a few busy tones, the call was connected.

Before Li Jiacheng could speak, Li Zekai went straight to the point and said, "Dad, I met Chen Xing, the boss of Longxing Group in Central. He was sitting in the back seat of a Pilot 001. There was a beauty on the main driver's seat and on the side. He didn't look like he was here to play. I felt something was going to happen, so I wanted to remind you."

"Chen Xing of Longxing Group."

Li Jiacheng on the other end of the phone fell into deep thought.

Chen Xing came to Hong Kong Island...

What is worth his personal trip?

Something is wrong!

Something must have happened!

Li Ka Shing was able to become a well-known entrepreneur in Dragon Country because he had extraordinary foresight and judgment.

In 1967, the economy of Hong Kong Island was sluggish, and housing prices also fell sharply. However, he dared to use all his funds to buy land, old buildings and unfinished buildings at the bottom, and held 1.9 million square meters of real estate.

Even today, few entrepreneurs can do this.

Because this is no different from gambling. If you win, you can reach the peak of your life, and if you lose, you will fall into hell.

But in the end, Li Jiacheng made the right bet. In 1970, Hong Kong Island's economy recovered, and the prices of the property market began to rise. He also relied on this huge gamble to secure his position as the richest man.

"According to my understanding of Chen Xing, he is not a person who is greedy for pleasure. He must have another purpose in coming to Hong Kong Island this time. Since you saw him in Central, keep an eye on him and see what he wants to do?"

"I'm afraid this won't work."

As soon as Li Jiacheng finished speaking, Li Zekai shook his head and said.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't see his taillights."

"Aren't you a Ferrari?"

"It's a Ferrari, but his Pilot 001 started very fast, and I just put the car on the side of the road to buy something, and now I don't know where he went."

"Harmful!"

Li Jiacheng sighed heavily.

"That's all."

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'm looking for someone to inquire about his purpose. If you meet him again, tell someone that Li wants to meet him and talk about future development."

"Okay dad."

Li Zekai nodded.

After reporting the situation, he drove around in his Ferrari, wondering if he could meet Chen Xing again and the two of them could make friends.

However, what he didn't know was that Chen Xing and his group had already parked their cars in the underground parking lot and ran to the square store for shopping.

Last night, Liang Ruolan learned that Chen Xing was going to Hong Kong Island, and she specifically asked her to bring some iron wine and live oil back. This seems to be the obsession of every old Guangzhou person. If she doesn't bring some local specialties, it's like she didn't go to Hong Kong Island.

The three of them spent the whole afternoon and found a place to eat.

When it was approaching 8 o'clock in the evening, the group drove to the Hong Kong International Financial Center Building and rushed to the meeting venue.

The traffic police who were blocking the road saw the license plates of the two places and the iconic pilot car and chose to let them go.

Arriving at the parking lot, a thin man in a suit who was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, slanted bangs, and slightly bald came forward to say hello:

"Mr. Chen?"

"My name is Chen Binbin, and I am the deputy village chief of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. I am here to pick you up specially."

"Village Chief Chen, nice to meet you."

Chen Xing shook hands with him.

"Nice to meet you. We won't say so many polite words. Let's go up and chat first. This way, please." Chen Binbin made an invitation gesture.

"good."

Chen Xing took steps earlier.

After several twists and turns, they also reached the top floor of the Hong Kong International Financial Center Building and entered the conference room.

"Mr. Chen."

"Is this Mr. Chen? He is indeed a talented person. He is young and promising. Please take a seat."

"Come and be well, Mr. Chen."

As soon as he entered the conference room, several people sitting inside immediately stood up to say hello, and Chen Xing also saw a few familiar faces.

Nvidia CEO, Huang Renxun.

TSMC CEO, Zhang Miao.

MediaTek CEO, Cai Mingjie.

These are all bosses he has dealt with, and some of them have had grievances.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce myself first. I am Jiang Shoushun, the village head of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. Please give me your advice in the future."

Jiang Shoushun took the initiative to show his kindness.

As the largest technology company in Dragon Kingdom, Longxing Group is large enough to make Chen Xing a guest.

"Don't take advice seriously. Let's cooperate more and go hand in hand in the future."

Chen Xing smiled calmly.

"Haha, let's go hand in hand."

The two shook hands. Just when Jiang Shoushun wanted Chen Xing to sit down, Baodao Securities Regulatory Commission Village Chief Jiang Jiahong also stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and said: "It's been a long time since Chen Xing of Longxing Group. I am Jiang Jiahong. The village chief of Baodao Securities Regulatory Commission.”

"Village Chief Jiang, nice to meet you."

Chen Xing shook hands in response.

The two of them had not been in contact before, including Jiang Shoushun. He did not want to make too many statements before the head of the Mainland China Securities Regulatory Commission arrived.

Because the Four Seasons Hotel is very close to the Hong Kong International Financial Center Building, Xiao Gang quickly rushed to the meeting location with the two deputy village chiefs after learning that Chen Xing had arrived.

"It's only half past eight, why are we all here already? Are we considered late?"

"It shouldn't count. Didn't the meeting time be at nine o'clock?"

"Stop chatting, hurry up and rush over."

Fei Qixian and Deng Qingwen were walking and chatting. Xiao Gang urged them and quickened their pace.

When the people for the "Stock Market Integration Plan" meeting were arriving one after another, in a tea house far away on Hong Kong Island, Wang Shan was making tea leisurely and pouring tea for the old people on both sides: "Drink tea and let the younger generation talk. Well, we old men who are half dead should stop being greedy."
