Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 21 A Gift to the Governor

Businessmen like to form groups. Currently, there are various chambers of commerce in Hong Kong, which are divided by region.

For example, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and there are more subdivided chambers of commerce, such as the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, which has the Meizhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, and so on.

There is also the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce above.

The first batch of guests were all members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, which was determined by Zhang Chaoyang's status in Shanghai.

The second group of guests came from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. These businessmen who had just arrived from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were very clear about Zhang Chaoyang's strength as they had dealt with him a lot when he was in China.

Finally, there are people from other chambers of commerce.

There are also local businessmen from Hong Kong.

Finally, there is a group of foreign businessmen and foreign politicians.

Although there were many Chinese in Hong Kong at that time, they had no say in politics.

The failure of Yang Muqi's plan delayed the participation of Chinese in politics for twenty years.

There is no way around it. If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

While Zhang Chaoyang was smilingly welcoming a group of foreign businessmen and politicians into the manor, he was thinking in his mind.

After I have established a firm foothold in Hong Kong, if you, Ge Lianghong, cut off the Yang Muqi plan, I will give you a Zhang Chaoyang plan.

I am a person who came from the future and has such an awesome plug-in legacy. I will never let you lead me by the nose.

“Smith!

Director MacIntosh, Governor Ge Lianghong, welcome, welcome!" Zhang Chaoyang stepped forward and hugged Smith warmly, then shook hands with MacIntosh and Ge Lianghong.

"Mr. Zhang! It's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to settle in Hong Kong!"

"Under the leadership of Governor Ge Lianghong, Hong Kong is a free and open city. I like it very much!" Zhang Chaoyang said against his will.

I like a free and open Hong Kong, but I don't like Hong Kong led by Great Britain.

After some hypocritical courtesy, Zhang Chaoyang personally accompanied Ge Lianghong and the other two into the castle's main living room.

The people who were chatting in groups of three or five in the conference room saw Ge Lianghong, Mai Jingtao and Smith walk in and all looked at them.

The Governor actually came to the party!

Master Zhang is truly worthy of being Master Zhang!

That’s awesome!
This is the real thought in the hearts of everyone in the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone was very excited.

With such an awesome Master Zhang around, their lives would be much better.

They all made up their minds to establish a good relationship with Master Zhang.

This is mainly because Zhang Chaoyang has a good reputation. When he was in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, although he did business in partnership with the Japanese, which was criticized, Zhang Chaoyang was also helpful to many Chinese businessmen.

As Ge Lianghong and others walked into the conference room, many foreign businessmen and politicians came forward to greet Ge Lianghong. Ho Tung also came forward to greet Ge Lianghong.

At present, there are very few Chinese people who can communicate with the Governor.

After Zhang Chaoyang accompanied Ge Lianghong in the conference room for a while, Ge Lianghong said directly to Zhang Chaoyang: "Mr. Zhang, let's find a place to talk?"

The foreigners are so direct.

"Governor Ge Lianghong, please follow me!" Zhang Chaoyang extended his hand to invite.

"Find your friends to play with, I have something to do!" He whispered in Hu Jiahui's ear and took Ge Lianghong into a small meeting room.

This small reception room is an independent room. When the door is closed, it becomes a secret room. "Once again, I welcome Governor Ge Lianghong and Director Mai Jingtao to my party!

Cheers to the three of you!" Zhang Chaoyang raised his glass and gestured to the three of them.

"Shred!" Ge Lianghong and the other two politely clinked their glasses with Zhang Chaoyang.

"Mr. Zhang, Smith said you have a big gift for me?" After drinking, Ge Lianghong asked directly.

"right!

I have a great gift for Governor Ge Lianghong."

"I wonder what kind of gift it is?"

"Since 45, the population of Hong Kong has increased from to million.

There is a very serious problem in Hong Kong now, that is, a large number of new population have no houses to live in, and their children have no schools to go to! "

"I have noticed this problem and have thought of many ways to solve it, but Hong Kong is short of funds. Support from my ancestors alone is a drop in the bucket!"

"The great gift I am giving to Governor Ge Lianghong today is to help you solve these two problems."

"Oh? How to solve it?" Ge Lianghong suddenly became interested and looked at Zhang Chaoyang with burning eyes.

Ge Lianghong no longer cares about the lives of the refugees, but if he can solve these two problems, it will bring him huge political resources and his international reputation will skyrocket.

Ge Lianghong was a visionary man. When the country was just founded, he reported to London and made a report on relations with the mainland.

It was this report that allowed Hong Kong to be preserved and continue to be a colony of Great Britain.

Moreover, it greatly benefited Hong Kong and laid a solid foundation for its subsequent rise.

“I can invest money to build a large number of houses, rent them to ordinary people at a lower price, and build schools near these rental houses.

Moreover, I can also persuade the Chinese businessmen to donate to Hong Kong's education, subsidize these newly built schools, and ensure their operation." Zhang Chaoyang said solemnly.

"What do you need me to do?"

"It's very simple. Just repeal the 1903 law that states that ordinary residential buildings cannot be higher than five stories.

Only in this way can I have money to build low-rent housing and schools.”

"Is it that simple?" Ge Lianghong looked at Zhang Chaoyang in disbelief.

For Chinese people, abolishing a legal provision or amending a legal provision is extremely difficult and may even require bloodshed and sacrifice to gain some benefits.

However, for Ge Lianghong, this was not a problem at all.

As the governor, he had a very big say in the laws of the colony. He only needed to communicate with some legislators to pass an amendment to a law.

"Of course. If I put forward more conditions, can it still be called a gift?" Zhang Chaoyang shrugged.

"Mr. Zhang, I have to say that I like your gift very much!" Ge Lianghong raised his glass and said to Zhang Chaoyang.

"As long as Governor Ge Lianghong likes it!" Zhang Chaoyang also raised his glass and said with a smile.

"I like this gift very much!"

“Once this matter is settled, we will need Governor Ge Lianghong to organize a charity fundraiser for education!
When the time comes, I will definitely organize people to participate." Zhang Chaoyang continued.

"Okay! It's settled. I'll communicate with the Legislative Council later and implement this matter as soon as possible." Ge Lianghong said with a big laugh.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is planning to engage in international trade and shipping industry?" Ge Lianghong asked after laughing.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong's shipping industry, so I want to get involved in these two industries!" Zhang Chaoyang nodded with a smile.
