Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Hearing the British ambassador's statement, Bao Bao was speechless for a while! If Britain was so capable, planes would be shot down and warships sunk. The words are more beautiful than the songs, and I thought it was the period of the empire on which the sun never sets; any country in the world must give face.

At this time, the British Empire itself could not protect itself, so how could it still have the strength to protect its safety. Besides, it is not in line with Bao's style to hand over his wealth and life to the British.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Ambassador, of course I believe in the reputation of the British Empire. There is an old saying in China, a rabbit wants people when it is anxious. Argentina is the second largest country in South America, with a population of more than 50 million. There are many loyal and brave people among them. , I’m not afraid of them coming in the open; I have to be on guard against them trying to do something secretly.”

"But then again, the British Empire is in need, so I can't just sit idly by. If you don't do business for fear of your opponent playing dirty tricks, it will make people look down on you; they may even intensify their efforts to bully you in the future."

"What I mean is very simple. It's not impossible to support me secretly. It's just a show of concern!"

The British ambassador was not very satisfied with the secret support; it was mainly because it was not in line with the Prime Minister's expectations, and it was also not in line with the real interests of the British Empire.

The scale of private support is limited after all; it is only a few hundred million dollars at most, and it cannot make any waves at all.

As the British Ambassador to Japan, of course he knows how to take advantage of the Japanese stock market and property market dividends; the amount of money this man in front of him has earned can only be described in astronomical figures. As long as you really want to help the British Empire, no amount of military spending will be a problem.

But the whole world knows what happened between Bao Shaofu and Fu Caila. Coupled with the fact that Xiangjiang is about to return to mainland China, Britain has long lost its ability to restrain the opponent.

Rushing into the war will not do any good to the Heiyun Group; why bother doing something thankless and offending at the same time! But at this moment, the British Empire does not have many choices. It must use all its strength to fight for all the power it can; otherwise it will be difficult to win.

British Ambassador: "Mr. Bao, please don't say that. As a lifelong nobleman of the British Empire, you shouldn't just stand by and watch when the country is in trouble! In addition, you are a graduate of the Imperial Oxford University, so you can't just watch the joke."

I have known for a long time that the British nobles are not that easy to deal with, but now trouble finally comes. He also mentioned that Oxford trained him. The British are really shameless to the extreme.

The so-called lifelong title of nobility has involved an unknown amount of real money and platinum investment; as of now, there are still one billion pounds of war bonds that have not been paid. Even if he doesn't care about money, no one's money comes from the strong wind; with Bao Zixuan's ability, no matter what field he invests in, the income will never be low. As for the British national debt, it is difficult to say whether it can be repaid, let alone any income.

It's really speechless to talk about life-long nobles now.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I am just a businessman, and I do not want to participate in the war between the two countries. In addition, I have always kept the cultivation of the British Empire in mind; otherwise, I would not have gone to the UK to invest in building factories and purchase national debt. "

"There is one more thing you need to understand. Heiyun Group's current tax payment in the UK is definitely among the top three. Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"

When Bao Zixuan said that he was just a businessman and did not want to participate in the war, the British ambassador was speechless again. If other businessmen spoke like this, there would be no fault. But the person in front of him is not a peaceful master.

If it were not for his participation, Fucairah would have been destroyed long ago; where would it have the strength to guard the Persian Gulf now? All of this was achieved through two wars, and yet they dare to say that they do not want to participate in the war; it is simply ridiculous.

Now we are asking for something from the other party, we cannot expose it in person; we can only deal with it carefully. I had just received a lot of anger from the Japanese, and now I have to humble myself and beg a businessman. When did the British Empire's envoys abroad become so useless? The more I think about it, the more I feel aggrieved.

The British Ambassador smiled and said: "Mr. Bao's contribution to Britain is obvious to all; no one can deny it. It is precisely because of this that I think you can save the country from crisis."

"The Prime Minister hopes that Mr. Bao can use part of the funds to purchase British treasury bonds; at the same time, he hopes that you will contact the Soviet Union and refrain from selling weapons and equipment to Argentina in the near future; I don't know what you think."

The British are really thinking of continuing to buy British government bonds; they really thought they were being taken advantage of when they failed to repay a penny of one billion pounds last time. It may be reasonable to continue to buy British government bonds; but no one has that much energy to prevent the Soviet Union from selling weapons and equipment to Argentina.

Don’t the British know what the economic situation of the Soviet Union is like? Oil prices have never gone up, and military exports are one of the few projects to earn foreign exchange.

The Soviets are not allowed to export weapons and equipment, and they are also allowed to speak; doesn't this cause conflicts between the Black Cloud Group and the Soviet Union! Fortunately, the British could figure it out. It's really a sinister intention.

Whether the Soviets agreed is another matter. Even if they agreed, the price they paid would be far greater than imagined.

Bao Zixuan said with a serious expression: "I currently hold a lot of British treasury bonds; I don't know how much you want Heiyun Group to buy."

"There are many aristocrats in Britain, including many wealthy businessmen. When the country is in trouble, they just sit back and watch. I'm afraid there is no such reason in the world."

"For example, the Rothschild family is an understatement. It's not fair to describe them as being as rich as a country. Why haven't I seen them express their position? Isn't it a bit unfair?"

"I personally have a little money, but I also spend a lot of money; the construction of the Xiangjiang Heiyun headquarters is a bottomless pit. You are a diplomat, and of course you know the relationship between you and Fucaira; everything has just started. It can be said that there is nothing left to be done. Huge amounts of money are needed every moment, otherwise it is likely to go out of control.”

"Of course the British Empire needs it, and it will buy some as much as it can; it's not impossible. But you can't always keep an eye on the Xiangjiang merchants. I think you should understand what you mean."

"As for admonishing the Soviet Union not to sell weapons and equipment to Argentina, I'm sorry that I can't help. There is indeed trade between the Black Cloud Group and the Soviet Union. I also know some high-level Soviet officials, but the relationship is not as harmonious as imagined; it is all for profit."

"Mr. Ambassador should know what the current state of the Soviet Union is. Argentina used to mainly purchase weapons and equipment from France. It could hardly place an order with the Soviet Union. How could it be possible to cancel cooperation just because of a word? Not only will the interests be damaged, but the country's credibility will also be affected; the Soviet Union As long as people are not stupid, they will never agree."

"It is estimated that no one in the world has such power to make a polar bear change its mind; Mr. Ambassador, please don't embarrass me."

What Bao Zixuan said is indeed very reasonable. In the last Falklands War, some wealthy aristocrats and merchants in the UK did not actively participate in it. Everyone is not stupid and can see the situation clearly. The declining British Empire is no longer worth their efforts.

As for the Rothschild family, they have long wanted to break away from the United Kingdom and develop independently. How could they still buy a large amount of British treasury bonds?

The former largest creditor of the British Empire does not necessarily hold as much national debt as the Black Cloud Group. This is the status quo, and it is a status quo that even the Prime Minister cannot change.

The British people will not buy it, let a colonist who is about to secede buy British national debt; it is normal to have opinions. Moreover, in the last Falklands War, Xiangjiang definitely put in a lot of effort; you can't just pluck out the wool of a sheep. Things must be reversed when they go to extremes, so don't dare to go too far.

At this time, the British Empire could not challenge China over the Xiangjiang issue. It has lowered its diplomatic level with Japan and is about to enter a state of war with Argentina. As for the Soviet Union, it was even more incompatible. It can be said that there are almost no special good friends in the world. If all countries are really offended, it will be difficult for them to develop in the future.

At present, we can only try our best to appease him and promise benefits; otherwise, things will definitely fail.

It was an open secret that the Soviet Union was short of funds. At this moment, if you ask the Soviets not to sell weapons and equipment to Argentina, you have to fight hard; no matter how good the relationship is, they will not agree.

Therefore, when the Prime Minister proposed it, it felt impossible to achieve it; but as a subordinate, he must resolutely implement the orders from his superiors. Even if you know it is impossible, you still have to put it forward; Quan is a dead horse and a live doctor.

British Ambassador: "I also know that making demands on the Soviets is indeed a bit excessive. But I still hope that you can make peace with them. The British Empire is sincere and wants to ease relations with the Soviet Union."

"Concerning the British national debt, the Prime Minister hopes to have the full support of your junior student."

The British are really flexible and flexible, and they actually want to ease relations with the Soviets; I never thought of it before. But it’s normal to think about it. At present, we must concentrate on dealing with Argentina; as for other countries, try not to offend them if they can.

It confirms the famous saying of former British Prime Minister Palmerston: The British Empire has never permanent enemies; it has no permanent friends; it only has eternal interests.

Argentina is the biggest worry at the moment, and we can leave everything else aside. He had previously promised to fight the Soviet Union with the Americans and destroy the polar bears; but now he had to make changes.

The Iron Lady has always had a doubt in her heart as to whether the Americans are causing trouble behind the scenes; she will not have any special trust in the United States until she knows it clearly. There was no need to fight with them against the Soviet Union; even if the relationship between the two countries was bad before, it didn't hurt to bow down for the sake of interests.

Bowing to the Soviet Union will not make people laugh. Losing the Falkland Islands will become an international laughing stock. The purpose of the Iron Lady is very simple. As long as the Soviet Union is willing to let go, Britain will definitely reciprocate.

As for buying British treasury bonds, the Iron Lady still knows the richest man Bao very well. I know that in the name of the British Empire, I may not necessarily buy it. I have put in a lot of effort before, and it is definitely interesting; even if I don’t show any performance this time, I can’t fault it.

But when it comes to juniors and seniors, I am asking for help in my personal capacity. As the world's richest man, he just made a fortune in Japan; if he doesn't give him face, it will be embarrassing to meet him in the future.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "With the Soviet Union, there is nothing I can do to help. It involves the dispute of interests between the two big countries. I guess no one wants to get involved. I hope Mr. Ambassador can understand. And it is the final decision and cannot be changed." .”

"As for British treasury bonds, Heiyun Group can buy some; it depends on how the local British family expresses it. It will definitely not be less than any company. Please tell the senior sister, as a junior, this is all that can be done."

It is normal not to want to get involved in the interest dispute between Britain and the Soviet Union; unless you want to die.

The specific amount of treasury bonds purchased was not mentioned, but it will not be less than any company; that is to say, local British companies and families will be used as a reference. It is not easy, after all, we are running for the first place; I hope local companies and big families can give some help. Otherwise, Heiyun Group would not have spent too much money on buying British treasury bonds.

Bao Shaofu has already expressed his attitude, so there is no need to stay any longer; it is not perfect, but it is already rare. The two of you didn't know each other before. Chatting with you for so long is a great honor.

The time requested by the Japanese was getting closer and closer, and the British ambassador could only leave first.

After the British left, the intelligence officers came out from behind; the report had not been completed just now, and the work must be completed.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The British are really interesting. Aren't they too naive? They asked me to talk about their relationship with the Soviet Union. It's ridiculous to think about it."

"In order to cater to the United States, we fought against the Soviet Union together; of course, it is not accurate to say that. It seems that Churchill was the first to propose restraining the Soviet Union. It can only be said that it shot itself in the foot."

"Now it seems that the British are determined and war is inevitable. Inform intelligence personnel stationed in Argentina and pay close attention to the situation; nothing can be missed."

At present, Heiyun intelligence personnel have penetrated into all fields in Argentina; as long as the information Bao Zixuan wants to know can be sent over immediately, there is no need to worry.

The intelligence officer thought for a moment and said: "Boss, the MI6 agent who calls himself 007 has been monitoring the Argentine intelligence chief and his mistress. Currently, he has the support of the London headquarters, and there are several agents working with him."

"Once the two sides officially start a war, Argentina's intelligence is likely to be leaked. It does not have an advantage itself, and coupled with the leakage of intelligence, there is a high chance that it will repeat the mistakes of the first Falklands War."

I almost forgot that there is still this thing, no matter how good my memory is; there are some things that need to be reminded, and you must pay attention to them in the future, and you cannot be blindly confident.

In order to let the British follow the clues, they tried to sow discord between Japan and Britain and the United States. Thinking of leaking information that the Japanese had exported five-axis CNC machine tools to the Soviet Union if necessary.

Nowadays, Japan and the United Kingdom have lowered their diplomatic relations, and a war is about to break out between the United Kingdom and Argentina. It would be more beneficial not to expose the information about Japan's export of machine tools to the Soviet Union for the time being.

But all this is only temporary. When the war enters a critical moment, the effect will be better when it is exposed. At that time, Americans will be in a situation where they cannot care about each other. Support the UK and sanction Japan; if you only do one thing, it may not matter; if you do it at the same time, it will definitely not feel good!
