Chapter 41 Negotiation
Smith could not afford the revenge for his life, nor could MacIntosh or Ge Lianghong.

Therefore, after Smith had private communication with Mai Jingtao and Ge Lianghong, he decided to have talks!

Let’s talk it over. The explosion in Hong Kong must not happen again.

At present, more than one hundred people have died in Hong Kong, and we cannot allow more deaths.

"Mr. Zhang, when do you plan to return to Hong Kong?"

"Go back to Hong Kong. I don't plan to go back to Hong Kong!
This time I came to Japan to investigate the Japanese market. Next, I plan to visit Sing Tao and America. I may choose one of these three places to settle down and do business. "Zhang Chaoyang said seriously.

"Mr. Zhang, the Governor has learned about the misunderstanding between you and the four major foreign banks, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and the Kadoorie family. The Governor is willing to play the role of peacemaker and resolve the conflict between the two sides.

We are all social elites and should work together to build a beautiful Hong Kong." Smith slowly organized his words and persuaded Zhang Chaoyang.

He didn't know whether Zhang Chaoyang was really planning to change his place of residence.

He didn't dare to gamble. If Zhang Chaoyang really chose to leave Hong Kong completely, then Hong Kong's revenge would never stop.

Everyone makes money. If you don't let me make money, then no one will make money.

If Zhang Chaoyang decides to leave Hong Kong, he won't care how many people die in Hong Kong.

What's more, those who died were all British and some Filipino maids, so Zhang Chaoyang wouldn't care.

"Do I have any conflicts with them?" Zhang Chaoyang looked at Smith with a smile.

"Uh!" Smith didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is there any contradiction?

Not really.

If we have to say there is someone, it is those people who are used to bullying the Chinese, and this time they have hit a wall.

"Mr. Zhang, if you have any requests, just let me know!"

"I don't have any requests!

I just feel uncomfortable living in Hong Kong and want to settle down somewhere else." Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

You say you want to bully people, so you bully them, and you want to negotiate, so you negotiate?

I really thought he had no temper.

"Mr. Zhang, I came to the devil country with sincerity!

I believe Mr. Zhang already knows that HSBC has unfrozen your company's funds.

Mr. Zhang's estate has also had its water and electricity supply restored!"

"You said this!

Speaking of which, I broke that law and HSBC is going to freeze my funds?
Also, did I not pay the water bill or the electricity bill? Why were the water and electricity cut off for no reason?

I am going to sue HSBC and the power and water companies."

"Mr. Zhang, it is not necessary now. Your funds have been unblocked and water and electricity have been restored."

"Mr. Smith, I slept with your wife, then washed her and gave her back to you. Can you accept that?" Zhang Chaoyang asked coldly.

Smith clenched his fists, then loosened them when he realized he couldn't beat Zhang Chaoyang.

"I know that what they did was wrong. Mr. Zhang, if you have any requests or what kind of compensation you need, you can tell me and I will be responsible for conveying it!" Smith was humble and patiently persuaded.

"I want all the shares of the Repulse Bay Hotel!
I want shares in HSBC, no less than 30 percent!
I want all the shares of the power plant and the water plant!

I want shares in Hong Kong Jardine Matheson & Co., no less than 40 percent.

I want to be an unofficial member of the Legislative Council!
I want to recommend someone to serve as a non-official member of the Legislative Council!" "Impossible!" Smith refused directly.

"Mr. Smith, please!"

"No, Mr. Zhang, what I mean is that you want too much and I can't make the decision!" Smith quickly changed his words.

He secretly regretted it in his heart. Why was he so excited just now?
No matter how much Zhang Chaoyang wants, what does it have to do with him? He doesn't want his wife.

If there is to be excitement, it should be His Excellency the Governor, HSBC, Swire Group and the Kadoorie family who should be excited.

"Mr. Zhang, I will report your request to His Excellency the Governor truthfully. The specific details will need to be decided by His Excellency the Governor.

Look, can we temporarily stop the matter in Xiangjiang?"

"Mr. Smith, I don't understand what you are talking about. I look forward to Governor Ge Lianghong to uphold justice for me!" Zhang Chaoyang shrugged and smiled.

It is impossible to stop, otherwise they will not feel the pain and will not be proactive in negotiations.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think we should go back to Hong Kong and negotiate with the Governor in person?"

"Sorry, I have already arranged my schedule. I plan to take a cruise to America tomorrow." Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and rejected Smith's request.

Are you kidding? Why are you going back to Hong Kong at this time?
I've already overturned the table, should I go back?

Giving you a chance to turn the table?
Impossible, no one can overturn my table!

"Mr. Zhang, I will contact the Governor right away. Please allow Mr. Zhang to stay in the Japanese country for two more days!" Smith said almost pleadingly.

"Well, since we are friends, I can stay in Tokyo for two more days!" Zhang Chaoyang smiled readily.

"Thank you!" Smith thanked Zhang Chaoyang gratefully.

At this moment, Smith is sincerely grateful to Zhang Chaoyang.

Smith had really wanted to help before, and had contacted the four foreign companies that owned the most Repulse Bay Hotels. In Smith's opinion, he had done the work, and the deal could be reached as long as they met and discussed the price.

As a result, the four foreign businessmen played a trick on him, openly agreeing, but actually going to humiliate Zhang Chaoyang, and in disguise humiliating Smith.

At that time, Smith really wanted to kill Irvin.

This is also the reason why Smith remained silent when Irving died, and did not mention Zhang Chaoyang at the first time.

When Irvin was killed in the explosion, Smith was extremely happy and even opened a bottle of champagne.

However, the series of explosions that followed made Smith somewhat uneasy. This was no longer an ordinary criminal case.

All these cases were piled up in front of Smith, and Ge Lianghong even handed the matter over to him, and he himself also received inquiries from his ancestors.

At this time, Smith really couldn't sit still.

However, it is impossible to say that Smith cares so much. At least his demands on Zhang Chaoyang, although a little outrageous, are very satisfying.

Smith no longer intends to worry about this, let the governor and those foreign merchants worry about it!
He is just a middleman, just passing on the message.

"Smith, I will welcome you tonight and let's experience the customs of the Japanese country together. It will be great!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile when Smith was about to say goodbye.

"Okay, let me first thank Mr. Zhang for his hospitality. I will pass on Mr. Zhang's request first.

Let’s have a couple of drinks in the evening!

We can’t let those people affect our friendship!" Smith said with a smile.

"That's right, we have been friends for more than ten years!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.
