Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 43 Money moves people’s hearts

After a long silence, Smith finally figured it out and slowly said, “The news from Xiangjiang is that the shares of the Repulse Bay Hotel can be given to you, but you need to pay to buy the shares.

For others, shares of HSBC, Swire, power plants and water plants can only give you 4% of the shares, which you also need to spend money to buy.

Besides, this is impossible for non-official members of parliament.

The first two items can be discussed, but the non-official member cannot be discussed! "

Zhang Chaoyang took out two cigars, threw one to Smith, and slowly lit it himself.

Zhang Chaoyang knew that this was the bottom line of the negotiations coming from Hong Kong.

It was pretty much what he thought. Regarding the matters of those foreign companies, economic demands could be discussed, but political pursuits could not.

Although Great Britain advocates freedom, it does practice it in some aspects, such as freedom of speech.

But in fact, Great Britain only allows freedom of speech, and political control is very strict.

Especially after Ge Lianghong came to power, he implemented a political dictatorship plan.

However, Ge Lianghong claimed that he was practicing a benevolent dictatorship.

Therefore, it is understandable that Ge Lianghong firmly refused him to enter the Legislative Council as a non-official member.

After all, in Ge Lianghong's mind, he was a person who did not follow the rules and was out of control. How could Ge Lianghong allow such a person to enter the Legislative Council?

Now there are Chinese in the Legislative Council and the Council of State, but they are all British Chinese who have acquired British citizenship. In fact, they are traitors with yellow skin and white hearts. They are shields put forward by the foreigners to promote freedom.

“I may not join the Legislative Council, but the water plant and power plant, as well as 40% of the shares of HSBC and Swire, are my bottom line.

Repulse Bay Hotel, I want it. I can give a symbolic transfer fee of one Hong Kong dollar.

In addition, I need them to apologize publicly in all Hong Kong media!" Zhang Chaoyang also stated his bottom line.

The Legislative Council is not in a hurry. Now that he is in, can he still make waves by himself?

The time is not ripe.
"Mr. Zhang, this is difficult. Forty percent of the shares, the controlling rights of HSBC and Swire Group, have simply changed hands.

They don’t even have that much stock themselves.” Smith said with a wry smile.

"This is their business, what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Chaoyang spread his hands.

"Mr. Zhang, can you afford 40% of HSBC's shares? Let's talk about more realistic terms!" Smith looked at Zhang Chaoyang sincerely.

If Zhang Chaoyang is willing to give up his political demands, then the conditions for further negotiations will be met.

"Smith, do you want to make a bet to see if I can afford 40% of HSBC's shares?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, you should understand that the Zu family will never allow you to take 40% of HSBC's shares."

"Okay! Let's not talk about 4%, that's impossible! If it's less than 10%, there's nothing to talk about.

There are also power plants and water plants. It’s okay if you don’t give them to me. I want shares in Rediffusion. Let the Kadoorie family figure out how to do it.

In addition, Ge Lianghong had to promise that Hong Kong's administrative departments would not participate in commercial competition and would not stand up for foreign businessmen.

The other option is to apologize publicly in the newspaper." Zhang Chaoyang finally revealed his bottom line.

"Okay, I will pass your request back to Hong Kong, but I can't make the decision on the details.

However, there is one thing I am sure of, no one from the administrative department will dare to trouble you, Mr. Zhang!" Smith felt Zhang Chaoyang's seriousness and nodded with a smile.

"I hope so! Smith, 10% is my bottom line. On this basis, if the shares of HSBC and Swire increase by 1%, I will give you 1 million Hong Kong dollars!

It can be exchanged into any currency and deposited into your designated bank account. " Seeing Smith about to stand up, Zhang Chaoyang added with a smile.

"Are you serious?"

"Smith doesn't trust my reputation?"

"Trustworthy! Mr. Zhang's reputation is certainly trustworthy!" Smith nodded, turned around and left the hotel.

Zhang Chaoyang didn't know how Smith negotiated with the Hong Kong side, but.

The next day, Smith came to inform Zhang Chaoyang that Hong Kong had agreed to his request.

The Kadoorie family will buy 15% of HSBC, 15% of Swire, and all of Rediffusion's shares, and then resell them to him.

Zhang Chaoyang smiled. It was true that money could move people.

With the benefit of one million, Smith was very motivated and he managed to get an extra 5% of the shares above Zhang Chaoyang's bottom line.

"Mr. Zhang, when do you plan to return to Hong Kong?" After telling the news from Hong Kong, Smith looked at Zhang Chaoyang expectantly.

"Go back to Hong Kong? I don't plan to go back to Hong Kong for now. I have a lot of things to do here!

You can ask them to come to the devil country, I will wait for them and sign the equity transfer contract in the devil country. "Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Then why don't you send a telegram to Hong Kong first..." Smith hinted.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Xiangjiang right away. After all, I need to pay for signing the share transfer contract, so I have to ask someone to prepare it!"

"Um, Mr. Zhang, what I'm talking about is..."

"that?

Smith, I said before that as long as they apologize publicly, everything will be fine!

I can't help it if you don't apologize!
Those people are not my men.

You should know that Hong Kong is now a mixed bag. Maybe it's the people from that side who can't stand the foreign merchants bullying the Chinese merchants, so they gave them a profound lesson!" Zhang Chaoyang spread his hands and said with a smile.

As for sending a telegram to Wei Yun and others, there is no need to even think about it.

It is hard to say how many radio detection vehicles are secretly monitoring the main island of Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. Any radio station that is not on the registered list will be discovered immediately if it receives or sends a telegram.

After Zhang Chaoyang left Haojiang and sent the last telegram to Wei Yun and others, he asked them to go into silence and carry out one assassination a day until the foreign devils publicly apologized and admitted defeat.

"Okay! I will pass the message back and ask them to make a public apology. I just don't know if they are willing to do so." Smith looked at Zhang Chaoyang for a while before speaking.

Their final plan still failed.

Originally, Smith had made a careful layout. As long as Zhang Chaoyang sent a telegram to Hong Kong, those people would not be able to escape.

To this end, Great Britain's garrison in Hong Kong has cancelled its leave and is on standby 24 hours a day.

Unfortunately, Zhang Chaoyang did not fall for it and refused to send a telegram to Hong Kong.

It’s not that he refused to send telegrams, but he only sent telegrams to people in the company.

What's the use of this?
