Chapter 159 Red Star Sparkling
Chapter 159: Red Stars Shining
Bao Haiping was shocked when he heard this, "This is not possible. The issuance of Hong Kong dollars is managed by the Financial Administration. Its president Ge Chenggang is a disciple of the authentic liberal economics school. He will never agree to it if he actively raises interest rates and reduces the supply of Hong Kong dollars when there is no crisis! Even if he agrees, this will directly lead to a decline in the stock market and the real estate market. Those citizens who have lost money will point at their backbone and curse." Bao Haisheng glared at his brother, not echoing but pondered.
Yang Xing thought to himself, this is the gap. Otherwise, how could it be your elder brother who is the Chief Executive? However, he felt that it was also an opportunity for Bao Haisheng now. Some people later summarized the character of this Chief Executive as being indecisive and looking back. Although Hong Kong recovered from the financial crisis during his term of office, his vitality was severely damaged and he did not return to his original level.
Therefore, Hong Kong citizens criticized him more than praised him. His weakness also gave the so-called Hong Kong democrats an exaggeration and often opposed the implementation of government policies, resulting in the shelving of many large-scale infrastructure projects in Hong Kong. The attack on central policies also led to the central government being dissatisfied with him. Therefore, he voluntarily resigned before his term of office.
However, Yang Xing now gives him a chance to make a new choice. With the historical background of Hong Kong's century-old colonization, many Hong Kong people have a sense of attachment to foreign masters. They are not satisfied with any central government's policies under the banner of democracy and have to oppose it. Yang Xing hopes that he will be able to make great efforts in Hong Kong in the future and less restraint. He is born with disagreement with the democratic faction. Of course, he wants to take this opportunity to help Bao Haisheng stand up in this crisis and establish an iron-fisted image on his side of the central government.
Yang Xing has always believed that "the times create heroes". People will burst into unexpected abilities when forced into trouble. Moreover, Bao Haisheng has the support of the central government and the reborn person who gave advice, so there is no reason not to win this battle. This time, if the Hong Kong government does not seek to turn the tide in the financial crisis, as long as it can survive the storm, the support rate of Hong Kong citizens will increase greatly.
They discussed it all night at Bao Haiping's house, and invited the upcoming Financial Secretary Tu Guangxian and the Financial Affairs Director Dai Xiayi. They talked until the sky was clear that everyone left in a hurry. In addition to unifying their opinions in advance, several senior officials were busy preparing for the return ceremony in a few days.
Yang Xing and the first-year high school senior left secretly. They had no pajamas in the car. They were still excited to chat with Yang Xing: "This time the Hong Kong government has received information to take action in advance, so they should avoid the financial storm you predicted!" Yang Xing shook his head solemnly, "Not necessarily! Most of the Hong Kong government officials accept the Western free market economy. There will definitely not be too few people who advocate that the government will not interfere with the market. Bao Haisheng wants to implement his plan and must go through a political game. I think you will be back and communicate with the above and still have to put pressure at the appropriate time. Although Hong Kong people are required to govern Hong Kong, no one can afford the responsibility of the problem when the Hong Kong economy returns. I have tried my best to delay it for a while, and I just hope to help the Hong Kong government move faster."
The first year of high school recalled the domestic criticism of Yang Xing colluding with terrorists and laying bombs at the Thai King Celebration, which was simply a typical rumor of disorganization and undiscipline. Compared with his performance last night, he realized that the young man in front of him was deeply thoughtful and acted step by step. Many of his plans were probably not as simple as expected in China!
The clock quickly pointed to June 30th. In recent days, the whole city of Hong Kong has been in a festive carnival atmosphere. Many celebration parties were held one after another. "The Age of Girls", which is touring across Asia, also made a special trip back to Hong Kong to hold a special concert at the Hung Hom Stadium. Yang Xing's senior executives also returned to the headquarters in Hong Kong, and his parents naturally led a large group of relatives to watch the ceremony, preparing to share the joy of this century-old event. Zhongxing International has long included many high-end hotels in Hong Kong, so that these employees and their families can stay in Hong Kong for a few more days and feel the charm of the Oriental Pearl of Hong Kong up close.
At noon that day, at the largest seafood restaurant in Hong Kong, Yang Xing attended a dinner party for relatives and company employees. More than 100 banquets filled the restaurant with a lot of fun. At the banquet, Yang Xing chatted with everyone, and only then did he know that his cousin Zeng Xianyan, with the help of the Moon Heart Band, successfully advanced to the final of the national talent show "The Avenue of Stars" launched by CCTV this year, becoming the monthly champion.
As a member of Yang Xing's previous life, his slogan is the stage of the people. Although his fame is still not as good as the second "Singing If You Want" competition, Zeng Xianyan, as the champion of the month, feels fresh and moving on the screen, and she looks sweet and beautiful girl next door. CCTV has revealed that she wants to discover her potential and signs her as an exclusive singer. They want to hear Yang Xing's opinions.
Of course, Yang Xing would not refuse on the surface, and told them that Xingguang Entertainment did not want to capture all the potential talent singers in one go. It is naturally a great thing to be liked by CCTV, so don’t have any worries. But my cousin wants to sign a contract now, is it better to have a professional agent around her to help her manage affairs? This year, there have been many incidents in which artists terminated their contracts without authorization and were sued in court. It is recognized in China that it is imperative to establish a professional agent. The most formal one in the industry is Xingguang Entertainment. Why not find one for her cousin from the company?
Of course, Yang Xing would not give a big gift to CCTV. He used Starlight Entertainment's agent. With his rigid understanding of the internal rules of CCTV, I believe that his cousin would not stay on CCTV for too long. He also wanted to give the entertainment industry an impression that Starlight Entertainment came and went freely, but the best destination was still here. This year, it is said that it is the most chaotic year in the mainland music industry. Many famous singers were not satisfied with the conditions of signing a contract company and automatically terminated contracts and changed jobs, causing many lawsuits. Although the reasons for the breakup were varied, it brought a huge impact on the mainland music industry that had just grown up. The most serious of them was that a large number of singers under Guangdong Zhongsing, represented by the Lingnan music industry, went north, and the Guangdong music industry, which was once popular in the 1980s, was in a slump and no longer had its former glory. This brought the center of gravity of the domestic music industry to the north and formed a unique landscape of singers drifting in the north.
The outbreak of this collective contract termination incident has a lot to do with the failure of a complete set of economic personnel mechanisms such as artist training, packaging, and publicity in the domestic music industry at that time. Therefore, when Xingguang Entertainment was established, it recruited professional agents from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places to package its artists. Before the Spring Festival, it acquired two largest brokerage companies, Hong Kong and Taiwan, merged into "Tianxing Economics Company". It has been following Fang Dongmei, the agent of "Tianxing Age", and has been promoted to the vice president of the new brokerage company, and there is no need to run around with "Tianxing Age". So Yang Xing remotely controlled Zeng Xianyan through "Tianxing Age". CCTV was afraid that it would take the effort to make wedding clothes for others in the end.
When talking about Zeng Xianyan, Yang Xing remembered the buddies of his Moon Heart Band, and was quite ashamed. Fortunately, he learned that he had greeted the senior executives of Xingguang Entertainment before leaving, and they knew that the band had a close relationship with the boss. Next, the band naturally passed the hurdles and advanced smoothly in the boys' annual competition of "Sing as long as you want" and it is estimated that there is no problem to win the championship in the central region.
This time, Xingguang Entertainment absorbed many suggestions from Yang Xing, such as collecting funny and funny contestants' shots in auditions; editing and editing the off-stage life of potential contestants into a reality show, digging out the touching stories behind the contestants, etc., and almost all the ideas he saw in his previous life were used. With the huge impact and support of the success of last year's competition, and singers such as "The Age of Girls" successfully became role models for all idols, which caused a scene of people being empty when registering for this competition. This second competition was even more prosperous than the first one.
When Yang Xing was chatting with his parents, relatives and friends from both sides came in from time to time to congratulate him, hoping to get some benefits through the wealth of Yang Xing's family. This is human nature, and Yang Xing did not resist. He just happened to promote the original intention of the establishment of the Yang Family and He Family Fund at the table. If relatives have any difficulties, they can deal with the foundation directly in the future.
But he noticed that his father Yang Rongguang's relatives who worked in Dongshan City, Baling Province may have never been to the nearby Rongcheng before, but now he suddenly ran to the much more flowery Hong Kong metropolis, which was somewhat restrained. But seeing their expressions of wanting to speak, Yang Xing still took the initiative to ask their leader uncle Ren Dacheng what difficulties he had.
Ren Dacheng explained that Dongshan City was only a county-level city affiliated to Chengdu City before, without heavy industry, and has always considered developing tourism to revitalize the city. During the Spring Festival, Yang Xing returned to his hometown to make a commitment to invest to change the investment environment of Dongshan City. Ren Dacheng was promoted to the city by the front line and became the deputy mayor in charge of tourism investment.
He followed Yang Xing's advice and relied on the history of the old revolutionary base in Dongshan. He established a tourism company focusing on red tourism in the city, opened up a number of red tourism routes, and absorbed many of Yang Rongguang's relatives to work in a travel agency. After the company opened, the business was good, but after all, Dongshan was too famous in China. If you want to continue to explore the business path, you need some new ideas when you break out of the province. This time, everyone came to Hong Kong to find an idea to find the recognized powerful man Yang Xing.
After hearing this, Yang Xing laughed: "Our Dongshan was the main base of the Red Fourth Front Army. Last time I went home, I saw the city preparing to establish the Red Fourth Front Army Long March Memorial Hall, so I asked you to develop red tourism resources. It seems that you are doing well. Why not dig deep into the relevant resources? For example, collecting souvenirs and calligraphy of the old Long March soldiers back then, inviting them to visit Dong, characterizing this action as a red memory journey, and promoting it to a national newspaper like the People's Daily." Everyone was enlightened and gave their thumbs up to praise Yang Xing's ideas.
He continued: "November, the Ministry of Education tactfully informed us that we should actively guide the social trends and not let young girls have the idea of becoming famous overnight! So we decided to hold an event where the whole people sing old songs and red songs this year, tentatively named "Red Star Shining". The method is similar to "Sing as you want to sing", but the performance songs must be red classic songs. The content review will be approved by the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture and other departments. The old artists will be invited to serve as judges and hosts. I think Dongshan can set up a branch venue this time. Today, the leaders of the party and the country will attend the return celebration. For the sake of the people and the villagers, I will do my best today. Please sign a few words for the Dongshan competition area of "Red Star Shining"!"
