Chapter 1672 October's Military Parade (2)
The military parade on October 1, 1999 was called the "Century Military Parade".
Ninety percent of the weapons were new products that were updated after the Gulf War. Most of them were independently produced and developed by China, which shortened the gap between the military equipment with European and American countries and increased national defense and military strength.
At noon that day, the five-star red flag fluttered over the square, and the sound of the national anthem spread throughout the country through speakers and TV. Han Xuan and his family attended the ceremony as patriotic compatriots overseas.
As an absolute representative of overseas Chinese, and in addition to helping China internationally and domestically over the years, they were fortunate to stand on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. Anya also benefited from it and appreciated the entire process of the military parade from a unique perspective.
If you could buy tickets to enter the Tiananmen Gate Tower on the day of the military parade, then money would definitely not be a problem for many people at that time.
But the reality is that according to the current population of 1.4 billion in China, only about 0.00005% of people can climb the city tower that was built in the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, step on the red carpet, and look down at the queues of various troops, and walk by in sequence. Among the more than 700 people on the city tower, seven of them came to the Han family!
Most of the old men knew the overseas Chinese standing on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, as well as more than a dozen Chinese from the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and other countries. Now Han Xuan knows them.
Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Dong Jianhua, Chief Executive of the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region, He Houhua, Chief Executive of the Aomen Special Administrative Region, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Shao Liushu, Guo Henian, and Mr. Li Zhaoji, who had outsmarted Han Xuan's calligraphy, were also present. With his return and his upcoming return, these people can no longer be considered overseas Chinese.
Many people don’t know that as early as 1959, the then Soviet leader Khrushchev, the guy who had issued a policy that allowed people to grow corn in high latitudes, also stood on the Tiananmen Gate Tower to watch the military parade that year...
Two months ago, the Hongqian review car passed through the Tiananmen Gate Tower amid military music, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and drove onto Chang'an Street.
Nowadays, those big guys like to sit on Rolls-Royce when they go out because they are not only bulletproof, but also have spacious space. The seats also have massage functions. The middle baffle can isolate the driving area, which is enough to meet all travel needs.
This is a gift from Han Xuan to them a few years ago, which has helped Han Automobile Group open up the Chinese market.
Unfortunately, it was not suitable for Rolls-Royce on that day, otherwise it would definitely have a sensational response. Han Xuan had expected this, so he could not be disappointed. He just felt that it was a pity that he missed such a good opportunity.
Among all the automobile brands in China, only Hongqi has ever had the opportunity to occupy this market. It requires funds, markets, and brands.
However, because of its unearthy positioning, I never thought of meeting customer needs, nor did I think about making money, and I missed the golden period of development in vain, which made the extremely huge automobile sales market occupied by automobile manufacturers in Europe, America, Japan and other countries and regions.
In his previous life, Han Xuan felt a pity about this. Looking at so many companies across the country, he could not find a car brand with a little bit of international fame. Even the domestic market was occupied by foreign capital. He had to use policies to support forced joint ventures to share some profits from it.
Raising import tax and consumption tax to a terrifying number still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people to buy imported cars. When talking about this, many people's faces were filled with tears.
There are almost all products that can be competed in China. Raising taxes can indeed drive consumption and attract consumers to buy domestic cars of the same level, but the fact is... there is no one in China!
If a rich man wants a good car, he can only bear so much tax with his nose. In 1997, Han Xuan bought a Mercedes-Benz S600 model sedan, which is more than twice as expensive as the United States, and he has a say in this.
In this life, he unexpectedly became a vested stakeholder. He competed with other foreign automakers in this market. He could only be glad that Hongqi Auto failed to develop and lacked a competitor who occupied the right time and place but failed in the end...
At this moment.
Hearing the questions raised by Executive Anthony, Han Xuan smiled and told: "It doesn't matter, the concept of one country, two systems proposed many years ago seems to be quite successful now.
Xiangjiang's original economic system has not changed much. Huaxia has followed its original promise and has not interfered with local economic policies. The economic downturn caused since its return is not blamed on Huaxia.
On the eve of the return of the country, a large number of middle-class and high-class wealthy immigrants damaged the root of the local economy. Coupled with the impact of the Southeast Asian economic crisis, these two have caused the Xiangjiang economy to be in a recession in the past two years.
In addition, there are also factors such as China implementing reform and opening up, and does not need the free trade port of Xiangjiang. Those who only know how to complain are absolutely not as smart as Li Jiacheng, Ho Yingdong and others. After returning, they invest in mainland China, and there is policy support. In my opinion, this is actually a very good opportunity. Even I am jealous of the preferential policies given to Xiangjiang merchants by the mainland.
I think it is also a good thing for the gambling industry when Aomen returns. With such a huge market, it is very convenient to pass through the two places. Good days to make money may be coming soon..."
The industries in Las Vegas and Aomen are Han Xuan’s private assets and have nothing to do with the Snow Mountain Group. Executive Anthony just asked casually, nodded and said no more, raised his arm to look at his watch, and said, "It's time for dinner, I have notified the main person in charge of each subsidiary during the day. If there is nothing important, they shouldn't have left yet.
Howell, please inform them and go directly to meet in the meeting restaurant in the Alpha Building to let the chef prepare dinner.”
The young man named Howell is one of the many assistants of Anthony's executive officer. He was too busy to do anything without the assistant. He heard his boss's instructions from the landline phone, and Howell agreed.
Executive Anthony then released the button and continued to say to Han Xuan: "There is a large table for guests there. It is no problem to sit thirty people. I asked the chef to prepare a whole roasted lamb in advance. I haven't had a barbecue for a long time. I hope you will like it. If you want to eat something else."
"Just eat roasted whole lamb, I like that taste." As soon as he was about to go out, Han Xuan stood up, took the coat he had just taken off, and then asked: "When did my dad get the restaurant here?"
Executive Anthony replied: "It just opened in September. Last year I felt that the company lacked a delicious restaurant, so I contacted your father.
Don't worry, we also need to pay for dinner..."
