Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

When I return to Xiangjiang, I will definitely go to the company to take a look; but it is not the time yet, the first priority is to comfort my family. Of course, the main reason why Mr. Bao is not in a hurry is his usual control. The two accounting firms took turns auditing, and the approval of major payments required his signature; it was almost impossible for the people below to take advantage of the situation.

Moreover, Heiyun has zero tolerance for corruption. If you dare to take an extra 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, the group would rather spend 1 million to keep you in jail. The salary, benefits, treatment, etc. are all impeccable, and there is no need to put yourself at risk.

My wife still wants to continue having children, so she has to work hard in the limited time; she is basically free at night.

The itinerary for the next day has already been arranged, and I will accompany my two daughters throughout the whole journey. As a father, I have too few opportunities to spend time with my children, so I have to try my best to make up for it.

I had no relevant experience in my previous life, so although I felt a little tired, I was still very happy inside. After becoming a father, many ideas have changed dramatically; even the richest man in the world is not immune to this.

It wasn't until evening that we arrived at the Governor's Palace by car.

According to Governor Wei Yixin's idea, Bao Zixuan should come earlier; before the dinner started, the two met in advance to communicate. But who would have thought that he would not be given any face at all; he could only give up.

I wasn't very familiar with this temporary governor before; and now I don't have to care too much about what the British think, as long as it's decent; the other party doesn't dare to be picky.

Even if you know that the purpose of meeting the other person is to get you to pay, you don't want to take advantage of the British people in vain even if it is easy to make money; you must know how to say no. At the same time, I also want to tell the British not to go too far to avoid looking bad.

Seeing Bao Zixuan come in, everyone at the scene felt incredible. In the past two years, the richest man has never attended any banquet. Since he was traveling on a private plane and I had not been in Hong Kong in the past two years, various media outlets were no longer so enthusiastic about Bao's coverage.

If no one is in Xiangjiang, there is no good report; it is better to publish topics that are closely related to the people, and the attention will be higher.

I didn't want to communicate too much with the British, so I just walked over. After Bao Zixuan came in, he saw many tycoons communicating together. Even if you know you have to pay, you can't refuse sometimes; Hong Kong is still managed by the British, and you must give the face you deserve.

There are not many richest people in Hong Kong's local media reports, but tycoons from all walks of life have an international perspective. Naturally, they know how much money the black cloud companies have made with the help of the Japanese stock market and property market dividends in the past two years.

The Wall Street Journal and major Japanese media have reported that Bao Zixuan has earned more than 100 billion US dollars in profits in Japan; it is really enviable.

Unlike other businessmen in Xiangjiang, they basically started from real estate and shipping; of course, there is also the gambling industry. But without exception, they all make money from the citizens of Xiangjiang; even if they do not rely on local residents, they use Xiangjiang's financial policies to open up the situation.

Heiyun Group is different from them. It is a technology company itself; its products are sold all over the world. Even if you do not rely on industrial products and make profits from the stock market and property market, you will still be able to gain recognition abroad.

Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoji were chatting and saw Bao Zixuan coming; naturally they wanted to come over and say hello. These two have cooperated with Heiyun companies, which can be regarded as retaining some friendship.

Li Zhaoji said with a smile: "Sheng Bao, you have not returned to Xiangjiang in the past two years, which has made the whole city very deserted. It is not interesting at all if you are not here for this period of time!"

This is absolutely true. Bao Shoufang is not a peaceful owner; no matter where he goes, he must make some noise. In addition, the brain is always thinking at high speed, which can always surprise or scare people.

During his absence for more than a year, everyone, including Hong Kong tycoons and ordinary people, always felt that something was wrong. Now after hearing what Lee Shau Kee said, everyone realized that it turned out that the core figure of Mr. Bao was missing.

In the past year or so, wherever Bao Zixuan has been, Europe, the Soviet Union, the Middle East, and Japan have received more attention. Even if you are not engaged in the clothing industry, just coming up with ideas for Italian products can bring huge sales and even form a culture. On the contrary, Xiangjiang can only develop step by step. Although the GDP is growing rapidly every year, the people no longer feel the passion of the past.

The construction speed of Heiyun Town is still very fast, and other industries are also developing steadily; but everyone knows that Bao Shoufang's investment in Xiangjiang is not as determined as before.

The core of Li Shauji's family is in Xiangjiang, so he naturally wants to find out about Bao Zixuan; if he can bring the Li family with him, he must cherish the opportunity. During the crisis in Japan's stock market and property market, the richest man Bao escaped unscathed; letting the world see the richest man's courage and terrible judgment. It's a pity that I didn't catch a ride before; now that we meet, we must think about the future of the family.

Another point is very important, as long as it is a family that follows the advice of Mr. Bao and develops industry. Not to mention making a lot of money, but definitely not suffering any losses; Guo Desheng and Guo Henian are the best proof.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Li Sheng is joking, Xiangjiang was already very exciting before; and without me causing trouble, maybe the development will be better."

There is nothing wrong with this, it can be considered a fact. After World War II, Xiangjiang ushered in a golden period of development, with rapid economic growth. Even without the participation of Heiyun Group, Xiangjiang is still one of the most economically developed cities in the world. At most, it is less well-known and has a smaller economic size.

Xiangjiang has developed because of the Heiyun Group, so we can't be greedy for credit; the richest man, Bao, still sees this very clearly.

Li Chaoren said with a smile: "You two, please stop complimenting each other. Bao was born in Japan this time. It's really enviable. Are there any good projects recently? Let Li Sheng and I make a little fortune together."

Such a straightforward statement should not come from Li Chao's mouth; the old boy is usually very reserved, so what is going on today is a bit unpredictable.

The reason why Li Chaoren said this was more because of his understanding of Bao Zixuan. I haven't returned to Hong Kong for two years, and I have made huge profits in Japan; the gap with them is gradually getting bigger, and will only get bigger in the future.

When cooperating with someone who is much stronger than yourself, you need to be more sincere; don't be too hypocritical. Being more straightforward will not offend Mr. Bao.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Li Sheng, please don't say that. If you have money, let's make money together. We are planning to go to Europe in a while. If you are interested, we can come together."

“In addition, Fucaira is also going to be developed in a big way. If you are interested, you can join us.”

Talking directly about Fucaira will definitely make everyone feel uncomfortable; the whole world knows his relationship with Fucaira. Will they intentionally defraud money, or let them fill the hole?

If Fucaira is built well, he will be the ultimate beneficiary.

It's different when it comes to Europe, and the credibility will naturally be higher; in the past, Europe must have been for making money. It is a good choice to follow Heiyun Group and drink some soup.

Seeing that Bao Zixuan was hesitant to speak, Li Zhaoji and Li Chaoren naturally understood what he meant; there were many people in this place, and it was not suitable for talking about too confidential matters.

Lee Shau Kee smiled and said: "Whenever we have time, let's have a meal together; but we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should get together!"

Mr. Bao has already expressed his goodwill, and they also need to understand what's going on; by inviting them at this time, neither of them will suffer.

If you don’t want to take them both together, you will never bring it up; and Europe and Fucaira have a mutually reinforcing relationship. Perhaps you can make money by investing in both places, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that Europe is more interested in making quick money.

The meaning is obvious. If you want to make money in Europe as in the past, then you should go to Fucaira to invest next. If you can't do that, it's best to err on the side of caution.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this. The two parties are not related to each other; there is no reason to take advantage of others if there are benefits. If you want to get benefits, you also need to look at the benefits it can bring to people in the future.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said, "I happen to have time the day after tomorrow; Li Sheng can just arrange it."

Hearing this, everyone showed incredible expressions; they all looked at Li Shauji, the meaning was obvious; but he wanted to take them with him.

Bao Zixuan's relationship with British businessmen, especially the HSBC group headed by Shen Bi, was not very harmonious. Today's dinner is invited by the Governor, so naturally I don't want to say too much; there are advantages but it cannot be made cheap. Although Xiangjiang is a situation where Chinese and British businessmen coexist, the competition between the two sides has never stopped.

With the rise of Li Chaoren and others, the strength of Chinese businessmen has been greatly strengthened; but as long as HSBC's status is not shaken, British capital will be an unavoidable topic.

It is precisely because of the sudden rise of Bao Zixuan that the balance has been broken; Chinese businessmen have fully occupied the top spot.

However, due to the split of Baohuodong Mining Company, Bao Zixuan's contact with Chinese businessmen gradually became less and less; or even almost non-existent. Coupled with his own strength, he has already formed a faction on his own.

In other words, in Xiangjiang at this time, most businessmen belonged to three factions. The first is British capital, led by HSBC, and of course some foreign-funded companies.

Followed by Chinese business capital led by Fok Yingdong, Li Zhaoji, Li Chaoren and others, are the largest number of people.

There is also the Heiyun family of enterprises headed by Bao Zixuan. Many people will regard the Zhang family and the Kadoorie family as Bao Zixuan's family. The Zhang family belongs to their own family, and the Kadoorie family has cooperated with Heiyun on many projects, so it is normal to have such an idea.

Now taking the initiative to let Lee Shau Kee arrange it, is he trying to repair the relationship with the Chinese businessmen? It's not impossible, after all, Bao richest man also needs allies.

Lee Shau Kee smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about. When everything is ready, I'll call Mr. Bao."

Suddenly the conversation changed and he continued: "Sheng Bao, you know the international situation better than the rest of us! Britain once declared war on Argentina. What is the specific situation? If it is inconvenient, just pretend that I didn't ask."

Among the many businessmen in Hong Kong, Bao Zixuan has the most international vision; during the last Falklands War, Heiyun Group made great efforts.

Lee Shau Kee also knew that the issue was too sensitive, especially in the Government House; therefore, he left a room for maneuver.

Everyone was very curious and at the same time believed in Bao Shaofu's judgment. Among the many businessmen in Xiangjiang, who has the most say in the war? Bao Zixuan does his part.

On the one hand, the Heiyun Group itself can produce weapons and equipment. On the other hand, the richest man Bao has friendships with many political figures in the country. Naturally, he can have first-hand information.

In the process of development and growth of Fucaira, it has experienced the baptism of two wars; Bao Shaofu can no longer be regarded as an ordinary businessman. This has already formed a consensus in the Hong Kong business community.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "Li Sheng is deliberately trying to embarrass me. The British Empire is powerful; Argentina is no match."

There are quite a few British people at the scene. Even if you don't have to pay attention to them, you still have to live up to your reputation.

After the victory of the first Falklands War, these old boys were very angry; if they said that Britain would lose this time, wouldn't it be a disgrace?

After hearing Bao Zixuan's answer, the British were very satisfied. Because it is already acquiesced in their hearts that Argentina is not an opponent at all. But the Chinese don't buy it. Recent information has given back that the situation in the British Empire is very bad.

Two fighter jets were shot down by the Argentines before, which rarely appeared during the Falklands War; and then more than a dozen warships were sunk by the Argentines, which proved that the opponent's combat effectiveness was very strong.

Being invited over by the Governor was nothing more than a purchase of British treasury bonds. It is easy to say that the British Empire defeated everything, but if it were defeated by Argentina, it would lose the Malvinas Islands from then on. On the one hand, the international status is threatened, and the national strength will inevitably be severely damaged.

The British treasury bonds they purchased by then will be worthless paper, but they will not be much better.

At that time, the Rothschild family saw that the British army would win the Battle of Waterloo with the help of the messenger Ross Worth who was stationed at the Battle of Waterloo; Ross Worth flew straight to the English Channel and crossed the sea overnight regardless of rest to report the news to the British army. Nathan Rothschild. Nathan, who was in London, knew the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo in advance, a full 24 hours before the British army coach Wellington reported. Before the invention of the telegraph, the huge information advantage made Nathan tightly grasp the sickle that harvests a country.

The outcome of the Battle of Waterloo will have a great impact on the price of British public debt; if the British army wins, the British public debt will skyrocket, and if the British army fails, the British public debt will plummet to zero under the shadow of national subjugation.

Nathan, who had already known the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo in advance, ordered his men to sell British government bonds on a large scale, which triggered panic on the entire trading floor. British government bonds were sold off wildly, and people thought Wellington had lost the war. Within a few hours, British public debt plummeted 95%. Nathan, who had a large amount of money in hand, took the opportunity to buy at the bottom; when the news of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo reached London, Nathan had become the British government's largest creditor.

The premise for the Rothschild family to make money is that Britain wins the war, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Although the impact of the previous war between Britain and Argentina was not as great as that of the war against Napoleon, the principles were similar. Once Britain was defeated, the so-called war bonds would be difficult to redeem.

When everything is unclear, it is natural to consult professionals to see what advice they can give!
