Chapter 123 Attending the Face Recognition Event
On November 11, Ronald Reagan defeated the incumbent President Jimmy Carter.

Elected the 40th President of the United States.

When Fang Hexuan saw the news, he couldn't help but put down the newspaper and think for a few minutes.

Not surprisingly, Hong Kong, where he lived, was influenced by this man throughout the 80s.

First, in terms of the economy, Reagan will significantly reduce tax rates after taking office next year.

This is of great significance to Fang Hexuan.

His investments in the United States and his exports to the United States will benefit from this reform.

Secondly, in terms of military or Cold War confrontation,
On the one hand, Reagan increased the United States' conventional military spending.
On the other hand, it advocated signing the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and the Comprehensive Elimination of Intermediate-Range Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union.

This not only increased the global influence of the Western camp, but also paralyzed the Soviet leadership, laying the groundwork for one of the causes of the Soviet Union's disintegration two years later.

Thinking of this, Fang Hexuan couldn't help but sigh that a superpower is a superpower.

The coming into office of a new president can have enough influence on him, a stranger thousands of miles away.

According to Fang Hexuan's plan, he would start to make arrangements against the Soviet Union starting in 87.

After all, when such a great empire fell, there were too many scavengers who wanted to suck its blood and eat its flesh.

Instead of giving all the benefits to Europe, America, Japan and Korea, it would be better for us to have a share of the cake.

After putting down the newspaper, Fang Hexuan took Xu Guohua and others out.

Today, he is going to Tsuen Wan to check out the battery factory he just acquired.

The overall development level of Hong Kong's battery industry is average.

In the late 60s, there were more than battery factories in Hong Kong.

But since the 70s, some battery factories have actively introduced new production equipment and processes.

As a result, many small factories with outdated equipment were eliminated.

According to statistics from the Hong Kong government, there are only 11 factories in Hong Kong that can produce dry cell batteries.

Hong Kong's battery level is the best in 9-volt dry batteries, and the largest export is also.

Therefore, there are the most factories that can produce this type of battery.

Factories that can manufacture batteries such as flashlight batteries, silver-zinc batteries, alkaline batteries, signal batteries, lighting batteries and storage batteries,

If we eliminate more than half of these 11 companies, we can probably count them on one hand.

Before Fang Hexuan prepared to enter this industry, he investigated the relevant data.

Last year, Hong Kong's exports of various batteries totaled only HK$13.5 billion, which is only US$2.7 million.

It can be said that if Fang Hexuan wants to improve his level of battery technology by acquiring a factory, it is pure daydreaming.

Fortunately, this was not his purpose.

The factory he was going to visit today was called "Hengli Battery", which was one of the so-called large factories with good equipment and technology.

In addition to newer buildings and equipment, this factory also has the largest reserve of technical talent.

And this is the main reason why Fang Hexuan is willing to acquire it.

Although these talents may be completely unfamiliar with lithium batteries, solar cells, etc.

But it doesn’t matter, you can learn if you don’t know how. What Fang Hexuan values ​​is the learning ability.

After inspecting Hengli, he went to the BYD Hong Kong R&D Center on Hung Hom Road.

Mainly I want to see the development and trial production of the first prototype.

December is coming soon, and Jackie Chan is about to set off for Hollywood to shoot "Cannonball Run".

In the original time and space, the car he drove was a special model of Neon Subaru.

However, in this time and space, at the request of the investor Fang Hexuan, Jackie Chan can only drive BYD's performance car. Even though BYD has no reputation in the United States, and even though it is still more than a year before it can be exported to the United States,

Fang Hexuan also wants BYD to debut in the United States in advance.

There are a total of three prototype vehicles being trial-produced this time, and they will all be shipped to the United States to prevent unexpected situations such as vehicle failures.

The engineer told the boss Fang Hexuan that there was no major problem with the car's engine and the chassis was currently being debugged.

We tested the gearbox of this car from several manufacturers and finally decided to use the one from ZF.

A team from Germany and France was specially invited to debug the chassis.

It can be said that for BYD's debut in North America, the world's largest auto market,
Fang Hexuan put in a lot of effort and money.

······
It’s almost the end of the year and time flies.

On November 11, serious riots broke out in Semarang, the capital of Central Java Province.

Fang Hexuan looked at the photo in the newspaper with a frown on his face.

The bodies of people who looked like Chinese were lying all over the messy streets, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, this is not the first case.

Two riots had already occurred in the province's Solo city on November 11 and 20.

However, on the 25th, it spread to Semarang, 60 kilometers away from Solo.

Similar incidents also occurred in the towns of Boyolali, Garut, Banyumas, Tegal and Madiun.

It seems that I have to find a place in Africa as soon as possible to set up my own security company.

The reason why Fang Hexuan asked the mainland to arrange a veteran bodyguard for him was to establish contact with the military in advance.

From now on, his security company in Africa can recruit talents directly from the mainland.

In his imagination, during the riot in the early 90s, he would definitely send his security company in to stop the violence.

Since it is a brutal and barbaric country, he, the richest man in Hong Kong, doesn't care about international law.

After traveling through time and space and being reborn, there are some regrets that cannot be continued.

After reading the news, he called the charter king and contacted Hou Guantai, hoping to put pressure on the Hong Kong government together.
I hope the foreigners in Hong Kong can stand up and make a statement condemning ink.

At this moment, this is all he can do.

On December 12, authentic and replicas of famous paintings and four treasures of the study from the Ming and Qing dynasties from the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing were exhibited in Hong Kong for the first time.

As a very influential celebrity in Hong Kong, Fang Hexuan was also invited to visit the exhibition at the Zhonghua Book Company branch in Yau Ma Tei.

Even though he was worth billions in his previous life, Fang Hexuan really didn't know much about antiques.
But this did not stop him from watching with great interest.

He also imagined what treasures would be stored in the underground warehouse of his island manor in the future. Anyway, they would definitely be hundreds of times better than those of the Big Nose Dragon.

On December 12, the opening ceremony of Landmark Plaza in Central was held. Fang Hexuan, as the boss of Wanda, was also invited by Landmark.

The ceremony was held with great ceremony.

It seems as if the Hong Kong property company is afraid that the whole of Hong Kong does not know that it has such a high-end and prosperous integrated commercial district in Central.

The plaza includes the Atrium Mall and the Gloucester Building, and is a commercial complex that integrates shopping, leisure, and business offices.

If it weren’t for the property, it would never be sold. Fang Hexuan really wanted to buy them all.

On this day, Fang Hexuan also learned a piece of news - the Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park in Wax Island was officially established.
