Chapter 1260 Christmas Eve!
December 24, 1989.
Sunday.
Today also happens to be Christmas Eve.
This Christmas Eve, a Christmas Eve banquet was held at Repulse Bay Villa.
Among them, in addition to inviting important executives of the Imperial Group.
For example, the cabinet general manager of Empire Group, Mr. Morris, the general manager of Zada Bank, Ma Shimin, the executive president of Hutchison Whampoa, Wei Li, and the general manager of Huifeng Bank, Shen Bi. In addition, Li Caixin of Xiangjiang First Shipping Group, as well as cabinet members, Wei Peter, Xia Boyin, Mou Shili and so on.
In addition, as for the Governor-General's Palace in Hong Kong, in addition to Governor Chung Yi-chie and his wife, Chief Secretary Wei Yixin and his wife, Financial Secretary Billie Chi and his wife, etc., more than ten other major white elites were also invited to the Governor-General's Palace.
In total, there were nearly a hundred people.
At this time, Sarah and Diana were beside Yang Ming at the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.
In the eyes of those white people, although Sir Yang is not married to Sister Sarah, judging from the current situation, these two women have a high status around Sir Yang.
Moreover, the two sisters have given birth to children for Yang Ming, which means that the future heirs of the Empire Group are also related to Sarah and Diana's children.
before Christmas Eve dinner begins.
Yang Ming, Zhong Yijie, Wei Yixin, Bi Liezhi, Mailisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, Shen Bi and others were in the study.
During this period, in addition to the news that something was going wrong with the Japanese bubble economy, there was a global sensation.
In fact, one thing that many people in Hong Kong are paying close attention to now is that the Imperial Group announced to the world that its laboratory has developed a web page, making a very important step for the development of the Internet.
Soon, companies under the Empire Group established browser companies in Silicon Valley, Yanjing, and many European countries, which played a very important role in the further development of the global Internet.
Now many people are concerned about where the headquarters of the International Internet Society will be located.
Obviously, country M now wants to continue to locate the headquarters of the International Internet Association in country M.
However, Xiangjiang now also has many advantages. In addition to being at the intersection between the East and the West, Xiangjiang is also one of the most influential cities in the world.
Coupled with the support of Soviet Union, many European countries, and domestic and other places, it is difficult for country M to directly announce that the International Internet Association will be located in country M.
Of course, this requires negotiation between both parties.
According to Yang Ming's decision, an office can be set up in Silicon Valley, which is equivalent to a regional office.
In addition, an office has also been set up in Swiss.
However, country M still disagrees.
Then we can only continue talking.
The Governor-General's Office in Hong Kong is also very concerned about Hong Kong's bid to become the headquarters of the International Internet Association.
In fact, Hong Kong is now the global gaming headquarters.
This time, Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park was the first to develop web pages and even browsers, which indeed played a very important role in the development of the global Internet.
"Sir Yang, our Governor's Office is very supportive of Hong Kong becoming the headquarters of the International Internet Association." Zhong Yijie said.
"Mr. Governor, country M is still unwilling to let go. I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Of course, Yang Ming knew that it would not be so easy to determine the location of the headquarters within a year and a half.
However, Yang Ming believes that Xiangjiang will be the first city in the world to have the Internet.
In other words, among the millions of people in Hong Kong, as long as families have computers, they will be able to access the Internet through computers and share news immediately.
In addition to Xiangjiang, not surprisingly, China, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States and other countries will soon have the Internet.
But it wouldn't be a global Internet at all if it weren't for global connectivity.
The emergence of the Internet is certainly unstoppable.
This should come earlier than the Internet appeared in history.
Yang Ming, Zhong Yijie and others finished talking.
Come down from the study.
Attend this year’s Christmas Eve feast.
When the Christmas Eve banquet ended, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhong Yijie and his wife and others were preparing to go back.
Yang Ming was at the door. After seeing them off personally, other white executives of the Imperial Group also said goodbye to Yang Ming and left.
Soon, Meris and Ma Shimin were left here.
"Boss, if the International Internet Association headquarters cannot be won by then, we will have no choice but to let it go."
At this time, Country M is still very powerful.
If Su Lian falls, Country M will be stronger by then.
How could the Imperial Group be comparable to Country M?
"At that point, it's really impossible not to let go, but if we have to, we can make concessions with them. For example, we can set up two headquarters. One in New York and one in Hong Kong."
The reason why Yang Ming attaches so much importance to the headquarters of the International Internet Association is mainly for the future development of the Internet in Hong Kong and even its talents.
Historically, Xiangjiang has been known as an Internet desert. In fact, it can be said that it has missed its golden development time.
This has a lot to do with the fact that Hong Kong is too small, its population is too small, and there are too few talents in this field.
However, Yang Ming's appearance is different now.
Even when Xiangjiang is small, he still has the opportunity to develop Xiangjiang. Even if Xiangjiang's Internet market is not good, there are still markets in China, Europe, the United States, and even other countries around the world.
Finished talking with Meris and Ma Shimin.
After these two people left.
Yang Ming returned to the study.
Yang Ming looked out the window.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Yang Ming knew it was Lan Jieying.
Ever since Yang Ming and He Chaoling became so close, Yang Ming wanted He Chaoling to live in the Repulse Bay Villa. However, He Chaoling was different. She still went to get off work and went home as usual, and then went back to the Jardine's Lookout Villa after get off work.
She only occasionally asked Yang Ming to have dinner there, and then stayed there to accompany her.
Yang Ming knew that He Chaoling was still different from Zhong Chuhong and the others. She was a natural strong woman, so it was impossible for her to live here.
"Sir."
The figure of Lan Jieying came from behind.
Yang Ming turned around and saw that it was a hangover soup.
Yang Ming and Mai Lisi had drunk a lot of red wine just now, but in fact, he was still very sober.
After Yang Ming took the hangover soup and drank it, he returned to the desk and sat down.
. . .
Rest for a night.
Wake up the next day.
Today is the most important holiday in the West.
Christmas.
Many white people in Hong Kong were on holiday today. For example, Alina was going to spend the holiday with her parents. White executives in Hong Kong, including those in Empire Group, were also going to spend Christmas with their families at home.
After breakfast, Yang Ming went to the villa where Sarah and Diana lived in the hillside.
Normally, Yang Ming didn't spend much time with these two women.
It was only on special holidays that he would take time to accompany them.
Like today's Christmas.
At this time, this place should be the most lively.
Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Guan Jiahui all came here.
Ps: I'm in my hometown in the countryside recently and I didn't bring my computer back, so I've been updating twice recently, using the saved drafts.
