In March, Jardinet officially announced its relocation to Bermuda, which started the trend of relocation to Xiangjiang Company.

Before, although Chinese companies were clamoring to relocate the major overseas banks, most of them were thunder and raindrops, and not many companies actually relocated.

First, many companies have been operating in Xiangjiang for decades and have accumulated rich assets and connections. Once relocated, it will have a significant impact on the company's operations.

Second, Xiangjiang's future is not yet determined, foreign companies and Chinese companies all have a sense of luck, thinking that England can win at the negotiating table.

However, after more than a year of negotiations, when they saw that the other party was very determined, there was no possibility of giving in. These foreign companies had to give up on their luck.

Jardinet Foreign Company, as the largest foreign company in Xiangjiang, immediately caused a huge sensation. Not only the business community was shocked, but also ordinary citizens were worried. It was reflected in the stock market that the Hang Seng Index fell 62 points that day, which shows the sensational effect of this news.

After Jardine Mathematics took the lead, hundreds of large enterprises in Xiangjiang also announced their relocation.

Among the listed companies in Xiangjiang, there are more than 70 companies that need to leave, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of listed companies. Among them are Jardinet, Land, Huifeng, Guangsheng, and Xingdao Press. There are more than 1,000 unlisted companies.

Although relocation does not mean that these companies have completely withdrawn from Xiangjiang, it is already very bad for such signs to occur.

It indicates that the business community lacks confidence in the prospects of Xiangjiang. The development of a region is largely due to the support of confidence.

When people have confidence, a small fishing village can also be built into an international metropolis, such as Xiangjiang, Shenzhen, and Shanghai Stock Exchange.

When people lose confidence, an international metropolis may gradually fall into ruins, such as Detroit, Chicago, and Manchester.

The relocation of a large number of companies has caused panic among citizens, causing more and more people to immigrate. In the first quarter of 1984 alone, the immigration applications in Xiangjiang reached a huge amount of 2 million.

Many citizens lined up all night to submit their applications. Even the first sentence of the common meeting was changed from [Did you eat], [The weather is good today] to [Did you apply, is it successful, and where will you go to].

...

Just as everyone was busy relocating and immigrating, Tongxin Real Estate, mainly Ye Jin, was absorbing the sold-out assets. Among them were real estate, land and factories, which were the most valuable assets.

His approach to going against the trend and being unique immediately attracted the attention of the media.

"Tongxin Real Estate has invested heavily in the acquisition of property and has become the king of Mong Kok!"

"Tongxin Real Estate once again bought Jinguan Building, Haowei Building and Jinxing Building, with a total investment of HK$2 billion!"

"Jinghe Land, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy!"

The media reported on the news, revealing all the investments of Tongxin Real Estate in the past two years.

As long as you want to investigate these investments, you can't hide them from them. After all, every real estate transaction must be registered. It is relatively easy to change the property deeds and land deeds.

After such disclosure, citizens were surprised to find that in the past two years, Tongxin Real Estate has purchased nearly 50 commercial buildings, fifteen properties under development, and five land to be developed.

This has not included Tongxin Real Estate's participation in Hong Kong Ding and Huidefeng's acquisition, and also bought stocks of Hutchison Whampoa and United Real Estate.

Together, the total number of these investments is about 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. Such a huge investment is really surprising.

Especially now, major overseas banks and Chinese companies have moved their registrations one after another, and are not optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang. However, Tongxin Real Estate is going against the trend, which seems even more alternative and not understood.

...

"Mr. Luo, why did Tongxin Real Estate not relocate, but instead increased its investment in Xiangjiang?" The reporter curiously interviewed Luo Kangrui, general manager of Tongxin Real Estate.

In fact, they originally wanted to interview Ye Jin, but Ye Jin was not in Xiangjiang at all. Moreover, he did not accept telephone interviews, so he had to find Luo Kangrui.

"Because we are full of confidence in the future of Xiangjiang. We all think that Xiangjiang will quickly overcome this difficult period and the economy will resume rapid growth." Luo Kangrui said with a smile.

"Do you mean you and Mr. Ye Jin?" the reporter asked.

"No," Luo Kangrui nodded, "Mr. Ye and I are more optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang."

"Why do you think so?" the reporter asked curiously.

There are so many foreign companies and Chinese companies that are pessimistic about Xiangjiang's future, but Luo Kangrui and Ye Jin are contrary to everyone, which is really confusing.

"Why don't you think so?" Luo Kangrui smiled, "Is there any evidence that Xiangjiang will decline in the future? If not, then it is not normal to remain optimistic?"

The reporter was also a little confused when he asked this.

"But Xiangjiang is about to be taken back. Are you not worried about this at all?" He thought about it carefully and then asked.

"No." Luo Kangrui smiled, "The current trend in the world is that cooperation replaces confrontation, communication replaces confrontation, and economic development replaces military confrontation, and gradually becoming the mainstream.

Xiangjiang's geographical location is unique. It not only has the world's largest deep-water port and is also a springboard for foreign capital to enter Middle-earth. It has huge advantages for the development of the freight industry and the financial industry.

Therefore, the future of Xiangjiang will not only not decline, but will become better and better with the recovery of the world economy."

After listening to Luo Kangrui's analysis, the reporter couldn't help but feel something was right.

The world situation has indeed eased greatly in the past two years, and even the United States and the Soviet Union have begun to visit each other. Moreover, due to the oil crisis, the economy of European and American countries has caused stagflation, the unemployment rate has increased, and people's daily lives have been affected. Boosting the economy and restoring people's livelihood has become a consensus among more and more people.

Under such an atmosphere, the probability of extreme events has dropped very low. Therefore, the future of Xiangjiang may not be as pessimistic as imagined.

...

The reporter then sorted out Luo Kangrui's interview and published it.

Once this article was published, it immediately caused a sensation in Xiangjiang.

"I think what he said is right. In the past two years, China and Turkey have been attracting investment. So many foreign companies dare to go over, so what are we afraid of?"

"We can talk between the United States and the Soviet Union. We are all compatriots, so what can we not talk about?"

"I just said I don't want to immigrate. What's the point of going to a foreign country to wash dishes and make dishes, and be a second-class citizen?"

The people were talking.

The business community has also begun to consider whether to really relocate.

Many companies were scared by public opinion before, and saw Jardine Mahjong and Land and other companies taking the lead, so they didn’t think too much about it and directly considered relocation.

But now after Luo Kangrui's words are stopped, Xiangjiang seems not to be pessimistic in the future. Since this is the case, we must consider whether to relocate or not.
