Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After receiving Reagan's affirmative answer, Iron Lady went directly to the full health state. Regardless of whether the sneak attack on the British warship was carried out by the Americans, it has become unimportant. Obtaining the weapons and equipment they wanted from the Americans showed that the other side did not dare to do anything wrong; they also knew that the Soviet Union was a serious concern and the true meaning of the British Empire.

When everything was ready, the Iron Lady immediately held a cabinet meeting; after receiving support from cabinet members, she decided to hold a press conference immediately.

In recent times, the British Empire has definitely been called the focus country; first its fighter jets were shot down, and then it lowered its diplomatic level with Japan. Of course, this is not a good thing for any country. At this moment, a press conference is suddenly held, indicating that something important needs to be announced; of course, as a media, you cannot miss it.

In the Press Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Iron Lady decided to attend in person; going to war with the Argentines is not a trivial matter, and the world must see the tough side of the British Empire.

London is a world-famous city, and almost all major media in the world have branches here. When I learned that the British side was going to hold a press conference, they didn't even need to convene it, and they quickly arrived at the scene.

When the time came, the Iron Lady appeared on the rostrum and spoke directly to the reporters at the scene: "Just one day ago, the British Empire's Falkland Islands Fleet was attacked by the Argentine Navy; the Royal Navy lost fifteen warships; 346 warriors died at sea. "

"The British Empire will give the heaviest counterattack to the enemy's shameless behavior; let the enemy know that provoking Britain will have to pay a heavy price."

"I declare that from this moment on, the British Empire and Argentina have entered a state of war; the United Kingdom will once again organize an expeditionary force; the United Kingdom will not unilaterally decide how long this fight will last. There is only one goal, and that is complete victory."

There is no need to say anything more at this moment, the declaration of war already means everything.

After the Iron Lady finished speaking, she left directly without giving reporters any chance to ask questions. Declaring war is great, but there is a lot of preparation to be done to win the war.

Although it has the full support of the Americans, the deployment of its own troops also takes time to prepare.

The Iron Lady knew very well that declaring war at this moment was to give the Argentines time; but Britain had no other choice at all. When a battleship was sunk, the people must be given an explanation; but it turned out that there was no response at all, so the people naturally would not agree.

Argentina's national strength is limited, and even if it takes one more month to prepare, it probably won't make any waves.

Britain declared war on Argentina, which quickly spread throughout the world. When a British fighter jet was shot down before, many military experts analyzed that the two countries were likely to enter a state of war again; they just didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

The last war only had an impact on South American countries. Of course, Xiangjiang businessmen contributed a lot of money; but the overall impact was not great. After all, the Falklands Islands were still too far away from Xiangjiang.

The day after meeting with the British ambassador, Bao Shaofu returned to Hong Kong. It’s not a problem to stay in Japan all the time, and I’m going to Europe soon; I have to have an explanation for my family.

Seeing that his two daughters were already able to run, Mr. Bao really didn't know what to say. His wife Zhang Youran takes care of them all. Although there is a nanny, it always feels awkward when her husband and mother-in-law are not around.

After returning home, I did not go to the company immediately; instead, I chose to spend time with my family. At the same time, I have already made up my mind to go north to Kyoto in a week and also to visit my mother and son.

Bao Zixuan said apologetically: "Honey, I'm sorry; I've been too busy in the past two years. It's really hard for you to take care of the children at home alone."

Of course, Zhang Youran knew what her husband was doing outside; but there were some things that she couldn't control. To be precise, she had no way to control them. As the family assets become larger and larger, their strength will naturally increase accordingly. If you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself, you will ultimately be at the mercy of others.

Zhang Youran said with a smile: "That's right. There is nothing missing at home; the servants are also very attentive. My mother can usually help take care of things, so I don't feel tired."

Li Yulin has hardly been home in the past year, and Bao Zixuan is not here. The third lady can't bear to see her daughter alone, so she often comes to help.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that her mother-in-law Li Yulin must be hiding something from her; to be precise, she is taking care of her husband's other children, most likely a boy. Zhang Youran had been disappointed about this for a while. After all, she was a generous woman; she didn't want to see this happen.

I can see that Black Cloud Group continues to grow stronger, and the media reports that my husband's other company, Blackstone Fund, has made more than 100 billion US dollars in profits in Japan; I slowly began to feel relieved.

Such a huge family fortune cannot be divided among hundreds of children, not to mention a few children. Of course, it also has a lot to do with the education you received since childhood and the environment in which you grew up.

Zhang Yuliang has three wives, even her two half-brothers; each of them has more than one wife. Do you think it is impossible to require a husband to be monogamous?

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What are your plans for the children? Should they be educated at home or sent to kindergarten?"

Heiyun Group has many schools at all levels, and it even has a certain reputation around the world. But regarding the education of the children, it is still necessary to seek the opinion of the wife. After all, he usually brings very little, and it is unlikely that he will pay too much attention in the future. No matter what decision Zhang Youran makes, he cannot object. Regarding this, Bao Shoufang is very clear.

Zhang Youran thought for a while and said: "You can't always stay at home and send him to Heiyun Kindergarten; the environment is good and the supporting facilities are complete. You can't do anything special, which is not conducive to the growth of the child."

Bao was very pleased to hear his wife's decision; he was really worried that he would not agree to send his daughter to kindergarten and receive education at home alone. Although I have never been a father in my previous life and have no relevant experience, I still hope that my children will have a happy childhood.

A long absence is better than a new marriage. Even if you have no feelings, you still have to pretend to be hungry and thirsty, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to your wife.

Moreover, Zhang Youran also had a clear goal in mind, and she had to get pregnant again; without giving birth to a boy, her status was never that stable.

Early the next morning, Bao Shoufu had just gotten up; he received an invitation from the Governor's Mansion. You don't have to think about it to know that it must be a matter of money.

Just the night before, the Queen's dinner was a great success; with the royal family taking the lead, other nobles and wealthy people would not lag behind.

More than a hundred people decided to subscribe for British government bonds on the spot, with the amount exceeding 2 billion pounds. For the British, who have always been conservative, this is already very rare.

Although funds were raised in Xiangjiang last time for the Falklands War, there is no telling how long the war will take place this time; naturally, we must be fully prepared. As the most economically developed city in the world, Xiangjiang has a lot of super-rich people; if they need to spend some money, I believe it will give them face.

And the visitor made it clear that Governor Wei Yixin wanted to meet with him alone before the dinner.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan naturally understood what it meant; he still wanted him to be the first, so how could he still be fooled.

Things did not become clearer in 1982, and there was no Fucairah; today is different from the past, so the British should just take a rest.

My attitude is very clear and I will go there to attend the dinner; but my time is very limited. I just came back and there are too many things in the company that need to be dealt with; I hope your Excellency the President can understand.

He said he wanted the other party to understand, but his attitude was extremely firm; no objection was allowed at all.

After Zhang Youran got up, he saw the invitation and said with a smile: "I have never met the governor, but his wife comes to visit every year; of course, she hopes to get donations."

Madam diplomacy is applicable in any country; as the richest man in Hong Kong and a world-famous figure, Bao Zixuan will definitely receive more attention. As a high-ranking official, the Governor of Xiangjiang must of course unite the local rich and famous people.

But Bao Zixuan is not at home all year round, so it is most appropriate to send his wife to come forward at this time. And as the governor's wife, charity, safeguarding women's rights, and caring for children are her job scope. Coming to visit Zhang Youran is not only to build a good relationship, but also to ask him to donate.

As the real wife of the richest man, no one can say that the Bao family is unkind because of their wealth; every time they come over, they will write out checks worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars; of course, these Bao Zixuan will not care at all. After all, making money is too easy for him.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "One cannon blast brings ten thousand taels of gold; Britain has declared war on Argentina, and Wei Yixin is for war bonds. If you want to meet me in advance, forget it!"

"We must not be the first to do this this time, lest we be criticized by others."

Not only saying it to myself, but also conveying the meaning to my wife.

After marrying the richest man in the world, a woman's hands must not be too shabby; the funds at her disposal are not particularly large, but billions of Hong Kong dollars are no problem at all.

If the wife is deceived and buys too many British bonds, let’s not talk about the loss. The main reason is that it is difficult to explain. After all, there are mainland China and other wealthy people here.

Zhang Youran is not stupid, so she naturally understands what her husband wants to express; plus having studied in the UK for many years, she certainly knows what war bonds are. When the two met for the second time, they also discussed related topics. So he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not easy for you to make money; but you can't give the British people an advantage in vain."

My husband's performance last night was quite satisfactory; a woman's sixth sense is very strong and she can tell that she has not eaten secretly in recent times.

As the richest man in the world, and because I am so young, there is no need to actively provoke women. Japan is also a land of romance, and stealing is normal.

But there is no tidbits about the husband, which shows that he cherishes feathers and cares about influence, so as a wife, she cannot be too serious.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not in Xiangjiang. Now that I’m back, I will definitely visit my father-in-law’s house. After not coming back for so long, it was the third wife who helped take care of his wife and children. It was reasonable for the grandmother to take care of her granddaughter, but she had no obligation; as a son-in-law, he had to be sensible.

Bringing gifts and holding the child, he went directly to Zhang's house; Zhang Yuliang was very helpless towards this son-in-law!

He has such a large business in Xiangjiang, and his wife and children are all there. It seems that it has nothing to do with him, which is really confusing. As a businessman, it is normal to travel on business; but like Bao Zixuan, traveling for more than a year at a time is really rare. But his son-in-law was much more successful than him, and he had no experience to impart at all. Many times, he even needed his son-in-law to help him show the way, so it was hard to say much.

Even if you know that there are other women out there, you can only turn a blind eye; if you are untenable in this regard, how can you ask others.

Coming to visit him as soon as he returned to Xiangjiang showed that he still attached great importance to his father-in-law, which was considered to be enough face. Zhang Yuliang was very happy about this.

Coming to Zhang's house can't be just a visit. Women chat together, children play together; as for men, they naturally need to talk about something.

Zhang Yuliang came to the study with his son-in-law, and of course the two young masters of the Zhang family. Time is not forgiving, and many businesses have been handed over to the next generation. Exercise in advance to prepare for taking over in the future.

This is very common in Hong Kong, and indeed everywhere in the world; family businesses still have to be passed down, and it is difficult to change ideas.

Bao Zixuan first said: "I've been out for a long time this time. Thanks to my father-in-law for taking care of me, my son-in-law is very grateful."

The rich man Bao's family lacked everything, but Zhang Youran needed company more; of course, he mainly relied on the third wife. But as the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family but one person is in charge, without Zhang Yuliang nodding; the third wife cannot always run away, the big family is very strict.

Zhang Yuliang said with a smile: "We are a family, so don't be polite. Youran is my daughter, Yingrong and Xinglan are my grandchildren; isn't it the right thing to take care of them!"

"Men should focus on their careers and not worry about family matters."

In fact, Zhang Yuliang had a deeper meaning. He clearly told Bao Shaofu that men should have a career. Combined with calling the two uncles and brothers together, it is natural to hope that Bao Zixuan can help him a little.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "My father-in-law should also have received the invitation, and he will go to the Governor's Mansion for the dinner tomorrow."

After seeing Zhang Yuliang's nod, Bao Shaofu continued: "Britain has declared war on Argentina and must be prepared."

"Judging from the current strength of the UK, it is not that easy to expedition to the Falklands. If it cannot receive support from other external forces, the possibility of defeat is very high."

"The war is about comprehensive national strength, weapons and equipment, as well as money and food; as Xiangjiang is a world-class financial center, the British will definitely not want to let it go."

"But now, no more than in 1982, many people will not sell the British. We must also prepare in advance and mobilize some funds to go to the UK; the Zhang family should expand its industrial structure."

"Companies with a century-old heritage in the world basically revolve around the financial industry, high-end manufacturing, and luxury goods industries. The Zhang family already owns a bank, so it just needs to develop step by step."

"As for high-end manufacturing, we can take advantage of the chaos and acquire some companies. After a while, I will go to Germany; if my father-in-law is interested, I can ask my second brother to come with me."

After several years of digestion, the Zhang family has been basically stable; it is time to enter the next track, and the automobile industry is the best choice. And I also want to use this matter to silence the Zhang family; my wife has heard too many rumors, which is not what the richest man wants!
