Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In the third lady's room at night, Zhang Yuliang couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Although the wine capacity is not as good as Bao Zixuan, it is not bad. At least I can still cope with gatherings with tycoons like Xiangjiang. They have been married for nearly 30 years and have been together for more than 30 years; the third wife certainly knows what her husband is thinking.

The Third Lady: "I'm still thinking about what my son-in-law said today. It's okay to do ordinary business in Xiangjiang."

"Our Zhang family doesn't have that big ambition, and we don't have advanced technology. We just do ordinary business, and I feel that Xiangjiang is very good. I was chatting with several other companies a few days ago, and they decided not to leave. My son-in-law is a smart man, If there are any changes, the Heiyun Town project cannot continue to be constructed.”

The third lady was also in trouble because her biological daughter married the richest man in Hong Kong. Her status naturally improved, and she was also the one asked by the master to give him advice when nothing happened. Only then did he dare to speak like this. A year ago, he might not have dared to give any suggestions; and even if he gave suggestions, Zhang Yuliang would not listen.

Speaking of Heiyun Town, it is definitely an architectural miracle, and construction is going on every day at a speed visible to the naked eye. Mainland workers are really very capable, and their spirit of hard work and hard work is clearly demonstrated; at least the people of Xiangjiang have begun to recognize them.

At that time, the people in Xiangjiang were really a bit repulsive to outsiders. Of course, people from developed countries are excluded, because when they come to Hong Kong, they work as engineering technicians, professors, or senior executives, which greatly improves the entire Hong Kong economy. Maybe if people from other Asian countries come over.

In February 1979, a "Tianyun" carrying more than 2,600 Vietnamese boat people entered the waters of the Xiangjiang River at night.

The boat people were not allowed to land, so they stayed on the boat and in the bay for more than four months. The boat people, who couldn't bear it, later cut off the anchor chain, and the cargo ship sailed into the angry sea again, and finally ran aground. As the boat sank, the boat people swam to the nearby shore and were finally allowed to land.

This incident suddenly escalated into a symbolic incident of international humanitarian issues, which directly affected Hong Kong's subsequent refugee policy.

Before the unification of Vietnam, more than 1 million overseas Chinese and Vietnamese Chinese gathered in Saigon City, which is now called Ho Chi Minh City. With the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the war ended after 20 years of fighting. But it also resulted in large-scale refugee exodus.

The ferry ride from Vietnam to Xiangjiang takes less than 10 days, so Xiangjiang has become an ideal transit point for refugees seeking asylum abroad.

In July 1979, the British government signed an international convention on the handling of Vietnamese refugees in Geneva; it included Hong Kong as the first port of asylum.

As long as the refugees come, you will accept them first. After selection, they will be transferred from Xiangjiang to Western countries, and the rest will be repatriated on your own.

Although Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore also agreed to become ports of first asylum, they all openly refused to allow refugees to disembark.

Compared with these countries, Xiangjiang is the safest place to end and settle down due to the all-comers policy that has been implemented for Vietnamese boat people.

Accepting a large number of Vietnamese refugees has brought serious hidden dangers to the security of Hong Kong. These people must have a need to live when they come to Xiangjiang; in addition, Vietnam has implemented a policy of all soldiers for a period of time, and has experienced many years of war. Not to mention practicing a skill, but most people have practiced it.

Some people are unwilling to work, or dislike the little money they make, and quickly go to extremes. This caused resentment among the people in Xiangjiang and led to people who came from economically backward areas not being so trusting.

Because of Bao Zixuan, Xiangjiang has tried its best to attract as few refugees as possible. After all, Mr. Bao has recruited so many workers from mainland China, which has led to a rapid increase in the resident population. Allowing refugees to disembark is very detrimental to Hong Kong's economic development and public security stability.

Workers from mainland China make Xiangjiang citizens feel that the people from the motherland are of high quality. And they are more hard-working, not a bit better than Vietnamese refugees.

Heiyun Group rarely recruits Vietnamese refugee workers, and it can be said that it has almost no factories. While the Vietnamese people are very excited, they don’t dare to do anything. Security forces are one thing, but the most important thing is that they are justified. The assessment is very fair for everyone, and there is no way you can get into the Heiyun Group without education.

Moreover, the richest man Bao really can't be offended, just in case he offends someone badly. Maybe the way compatriots enter Xiangjiang will be blocked. Bao Shaofu definitely has this strength, but he just doesn't want to use it.

After hearing my wife’s analysis, it still makes sense. The Heiyun Town project has not stopped, and the construction speed is very fast. It's enough to show that the son-in-law will not leave. Otherwise, who would use the office building? I'm afraid that all the companies in Xiangjiang will move in and they won't be able to fill up the space.

Zhang Yuliang: "When you go over to see your daughter in the future, make some insinuations. Let's see what this kid is thinking. Anyway, I can't see through it."

"Suddenly there was such a big commotion in the Middle East, but there was no news about it before. Although I am his father-in-law, sometimes I feel that I am a generation younger than him."

"No matter how much wealth the Bao family has, it will always belong to others. The Zhang family will not care about it, and they have no right to care about it. But there is no problem in following behind to make a fortune. At least the son-in-law is very accurate in controlling the situation."

She could tell what her husband was thinking, but the third lady knew it; Zhang Yuliang would say it even if she didn't want to, after all, it was related to her daughter's happiness.

Third Madam: “It’s better not to consider the Zhang family in the Middle East and look at other places to invest.”

"Whoever in Xiangjiang can invest in the Middle East, but we, the Zhang family, had better not. There are many places to make money in the world, so there is no need to focus on the oil and natural gas in the Middle East. And we don't understand it at all, and the past has nothing to do with it. It’s easy to trap yourself.”

"Does it really mean that the son-in-law and the new chief of Fucaira have nothing to do with each other? There are some things that cannot be said. First, there is no evidence; second, what will happen even if they are discovered."

"You are also a man. It is normal to have three wives and four concubines. Although it is illegal, no one can find fault with it. It can be said that there are almost no men as capable and wealthy as the son-in-law who have not had any scandals in Xiangjiang. It’s really rare.”

"How do the Zhang family deal with the Middle East and how do they introduce their son-in-law? It will only make things difficult for them and increase worries for their daughter. And aren't you allowed to go abroad to buy minerals and pastures, and buy real estate in China and Japan?"

"These are all businesses, there is no need to focus on one place. Besides, the Middle East is not peaceful, and the climate conditions are harsh. There is no need for the Zhang family to wade through this muddy water. Doing business safely as a family is better than anything else."

Hearing the third lady's analysis, Zhang Yuliang felt impressed. It seems that her daughter has today's achievements and abilities, and she is favored by Bao Zixuan, and her mother's contribution is indispensable.

Although there is a feeling of protecting her daughter's interests and strengthening her status, there is nothing wrong with being a mother. When her daughter marries Bao Zixuan, the whole world considers her to be a high-ranking person. Although she is Zhang Yuliang's girl, the Zhang family itself is far behind Bao Zixuan. In addition, the daughter was born to a concubine, so of course she would be shorter.

If the Zhang family goes to the Middle East to invest at this time, and if Bao Zixuan has nothing to do with the female sheikh of Fuqaira, then everyone will be happy. But this possibility is unlikely. He is also a man, so of course he knows the rules here.

And as the third lady said, so what if we find out. Could it be that Zhang Yuliang was only allowed to have three wives and four concubines, but Bao Zixuan was not allowed to find a confidante outside? In the end, his daughter and son-in-law could only get divorced; he did not want to see that outcome.

Zhang Yuliang: "My wife is very thoughtful. I asked the eldest son to go to Japan, the second son to China, and the third son to Australia to inspect the market. There are so many places in the world where we can do business, there is no need to just focus on the Middle East."

After hearing Zhang Yuliang's words, the third lady finally felt relieved. I'm afraid that the Zhang family won't take enough advantage, which will make people look down on their daughter; it may even affect the relationship between the couple.

She knew her daughter's character well and didn't find it necessary to act stupid, but knowing that her husband had someone else outside, she must have felt a knot in her heart. This is true for any woman, but some women choose to accept their fate. However, the knot in her heart will definitely not be untied, and the third lady does not want her daughter to suffer.

Now that her daughter is pregnant, the Zhang family is no longer the first priority for her. After all, I only have one daughter, and I may still hope to leave my things to my grandson in the future; even if they are very few, or they don't like them at all; but it is more or less a thought.

The third lady has good intentions and is definitely a smart woman. It is precisely because of this that the Zhang family began to increase investment in mainland China, Japan and Australia; it can be said that they will make a lot of money in the future.
