Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan was quite calm, which was seriously inconsistent with the information he had previously obtained; everyone has to grow up, and the richest man is much more mature than before; this is a true reflection of the heart of Governor Wei Yixin!

As a diplomat, Wei Yixin is still very determined. Of course, he may not get any advantage in negotiating with wealthy Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong who already know their trump cards; but Bao Zixuan is really not one of them. I have a background in science and engineering, and I pay attention to efficiency in my work. Of course, it's also because Bao's time is very precious and there is no need to waste it in endless negotiations.

But today, they are uncharacteristically not talking about the topic at all; if we still expect the other party to buy British government bonds, it is not enough to always laugh.

Wei Yixin changed the topic and said very seriously: "Brother Bao, now the British Empire has declared war on Argentina; what suggestions do you have for this?"

Perhaps seeing Bao Zixuan's doubts, Wei Yixin whispered: "Fucaila won the two wars very well. You are an expert in this field; but you can't have any secrets!"

If we say who is an all-rounder in this world, Bao Zixuan will definitely bear the brunt. In the computer field, he won the Turing Award; in the mechanical field, he successfully developed a high-thrust aeroengine.

Originally, he had always emphasized the economic field that he was not good at, but as the world's richest man, coupled with his contribution to regional economic development and his outstanding vision, no one can say that he does not understand.

Even those very picky economists believe that Bao Zixuan belongs to the same group of people as them; he even has more practical experience.

Although the other party cannot be called a military strategist, Fucairah achieved major victories in its two foreign wars. Although the scale of the war was small, its impact was indeed considerable.

The high-tech means used have been the main research topic of the militaries of various countries.

I was afraid that Bao Zixuan wouldn't say it, so I spoke in a low voice. The meaning was obvious, it was just out of curiosity; nothing else!

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "The British Empire is far more powerful than Argentina. It is probably only a matter of time before we win the war."

"As for war, the seniors really think highly of me; Oxford has never taught me how to fight, and our school does not have military-related subjects!"

It is obviously the official language, which gives people a very far-fetched feeling. Wei Yixin was not very satisfied with this. After all, he still expected Bao Zixuan to praise the British Empire's army; it would be best to list specific data in detail to enhance the confidence of the tycoons on the scene.

As long as everyone has confidence and comprehensively analyzes from all aspects; the British Empire will definitely win the war, then there is no need to worry about the collapse of the empire.

If the war with Argentina fails, not only will problems arise in the Commonwealth countries, but even the United Kingdom will likely face division within itself.

The United Kingdom is a United Kingdom consisting of four political entities: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The most important of the four parts is England; its population accounts for more than 80% of the British population. Many people mistakenly think that England is the United Kingdom. In fact, it is not. England is just a part of the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom adopts a parliamentary system of government, with the seat of government in London. In addition, it has three national administrative agencies, located in Belfast in Northern Ireland, Cardiff in Wales, and Edinburgh in Scotland.

Except for England, the other places have never been very worry-free.

Scotland is an independent kingdom in history. It was occupied and ruled by England for hundreds of years. In order to oppose the occupation of England, it launched two wars of independence. In 1707, it was merged into the Kingdom of Great Britain by the Kingdom of England.

As early as 10,000 BC, humans began to live in Scotland. The first residents came from Ireland, Britain or the North Sea. Scotland was covered in dense forests with many lakes and rivers, so the Scottish residents at that time could only settle along the coast and make a living by hunting.

Therefore, the Scots always believe that they are the indigenous people; the English are robbers. Even in modern society, there have been many struggles for independence.

If the country is strong, the Scots will naturally surrender; once defeated, they will lose to Argentina; then, sorry, the first to seek independence must be the Scots.

In 3000 BC immigrants from mainland Europe began to settle on the island of Ireland. In 432 AD, St. Patrick came here to spread Christianity and Roman culture. In 1171, King Henry II of England established his right to rule Ireland; in 1541, the King of England became the King of Ireland. In 1800, the Irish-British Alliance Treaty was signed and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was established; it was completely annexed by the United Kingdom.

In 1916, the Easter Rising against the British broke out in Dublin. With the rise of the Irish national independence movement, the British government signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty with Ireland in December 1921, allowing 26 counties in southern Ireland to establish a Free State and enjoy autonomy. The six northern counties remain British. In 1937, the Irish constitution declared the Free State a republic but remained within the Commonwealth.

On December 21, 1948, the Irish Parliament passed a law declaring its separation from the Commonwealth. On April 18, 1949, Britain recognized its independence but refused to return the six northern counties. After Ireland became independent, successive Irish governments have made it their established policy to achieve the unification of Northern and Southern Ireland.

Ireland's original inhabitants, the Celts, had long-standing conflicts with the English. When the English Civil War broke out, the Celts secretly supported the opposition. When Britain was at war with Europe, the Celts collaborated with Britain's enemies. The purpose is self-evident, which is to break away from British rule.

Compared with Scotland and Northern Ireland, Wales is quite obedient; since joining the United Kingdom, it has been honest and has almost no trouble for independence; even though the United Kingdom has long since lost its glory, Wales is still willing to stay in the United Kingdom.

After the war that determined the fate of the country broke out between England and Wales in 1277. The Welsh have lost their temper; to be precise, they have lost the blood and capital to seek independence.

At that time, King Edward I of England led an army to invade Wales; after seven years of bloody fighting, the Welsh were defeated; the English completely conquered Wales.

After the English conquered Wales, they formed the Principality of Wales; the lord of the Principality of Wales was called the Prince of Wales. Every king of England makes his eldest son the Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales has also become synonymous with the British Crown Prince. Although in the 15th century, there appeared a Welshman named Owen Glendower who proclaimed himself Prince of Wales because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the English king, but he was quickly eliminated by the English army.

In 1536, the two sides passed the Act of Union, and England and Wales were officially merged into one country, which is the prototype of today's United Kingdom. Wales became the first country on the British Isles to be annexed by England, and began a centuries-long close relationship with England.

Since Wales was the first country to be annexed by England, England's assimilation of Wales was also very thorough. Since the merger of Wales and England, a large number of English people have immigrated to Wales; also many Welsh people have gone to England to seek better development, and there have been very close personnel exchanges between the two sides.

The British Empire is strong, and Scotland and Northern Ireland may surrender; at most, they will make some small moves below. Once defeated, it would be a shame; there would be no peace within.

Who will pay the British national debt by then is a question worth pondering.

If England inherits all the assets of England, then the debts must also be borne by them. But the Welsh people are not stupid. They used to live a good life. But now they are burdened with a huge debt for no reason. No matter how good-tempered they are, they still want to make trouble with you.

If England does not recognize its national debt, its international credibility will plummet; it will be almost impossible to gain trust in the future.

By then, England will inevitably become a lonely country, and may very well become a third-rate country.

These are real problems that no one can escape. It is precisely when the royal family and No. 10 Downing Street see the problems that they want to show the strong side of the British Empire.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Junior, don't be modest. Some people are born with the ability to learn by themselves. Obviously, junior is the best among them. At this moment, you don't need to think of me as the Governor of Xiangjiang. Just treat me as an old senior. We are just discussing the issue together."

The words were indeed very polite, but Bao Zixuan was not stupid; of course he knew what the old boy wanted to express.

It is nothing more than telling the heroic side of the British Empire through him; and then promoting national debt.

They are all super tycoons, and they know more or less what the so-called British Empire is like; many of them even own properties in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It seems that there is really no way to escape, otherwise it will be too disrespectful to the new governor; not to mention that the other party is calling one junior at a time, and it would be very rude to refuse directly.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "Senior is really giving me a hard time, but where do I start from?"

At this time, everyone became serious and wanted to hear Bao Zixuan's professional analysis.

Among the many enterprises in Hong Kong, Heiyun Group is the strongest; Bao Zixuan has an international perspective. Although he cannot be called a military strategist, he has a far more thorough understanding of the war between Britain and Afghanistan than military strategists from other countries.

Fucaira's victory in the two wars is only one aspect. The most important thing is that the Black Cloud Group also has a lot of business in South America. In terms of intelligence penetration, he should be no worse than the British MI6; whoever makes Bao Zixuan rich is really the envy of others.

According to media reports, although the sinking of the British warship was carried out by the Argentine Navy, it was a Soviet submarine. Based on the relationship between Bao Zixuan and the Soviet Union, he must know some inside information.

Wei Yixin smiled and said: "Junior, don't be scrupulous, you can say whatever you want."

At this moment, Wei Yixin had already thought about it. Many words must come from Bao Zixuan's mouth; otherwise, his credibility would be greatly reduced. Although he is the governor of Xiangjiang, here, not to mention ordinary people, or even the tycoons in front of them, definitely believe in Bao Zixuan more.

As a British person, everyone knows that he wants to safeguard the interests of the British Empire; while Bao Zixuan will safeguard his own interests first. On the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with them; but the core purpose is basically the same. I finally caught the opportunity and didn't reveal any information; but I couldn't let him leave easily!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "In terms of comprehensive strength, the British Empire has a clear advantage; but one thing I have to admit is that the Argentines are fighting at home; the logistics and supplies are much simpler."

"And the British army needs to travel thousands of miles, and material consumption will be a big problem."

"According to the analysis of the data currently available, the Argentine army has certain air defense capabilities; otherwise, the two British fighter jets would not have been shot down."

"The ability to quietly sink more than a dozen warships at the same time shows that Argentina already has a submarine force with strong combat capabilities."

"But with the strength of the Royal Navy, there is still no problem in blocking the entire Argentine coast. Argentina's industrial base is weak, and almost all advanced weapons and equipment require external procurement."

"If we want to solve the problem once and for all, we must exhaust all Argentina's advanced weapons and equipment; otherwise, it will be a hidden danger after all."

"As for the rest, because both sides are still in the process of preparation; there is no specific information, so it's hard to say anything."

Wei Yixin was quite satisfied with Bao Zixuan's answer. As long as it comes out of his mouth that the British Empire has a way to fight Argentina, nothing else matters. It is nothing more than a consumption problem, a problem that can be solved with money; it is not a big problem.

A camel is so thin that it is bigger than a horse. Compared with Argentina, there is a huge difference in comprehensive national strength. There are many hidden dangers in the UK, and Argentina is even worse. As long as Argentina is completely blocked, internal problems will inevitably arise over time.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Bao Zixuan also hopes that the war between Argentina and Britain will fall into a stalemate. The longer the stalemate between the two sides lasts, the better it will be for other countries, including the Soviet Union of course.

The Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated, and Britain is the first to split; then things become more interesting.

Wei Yixin said very seriously: "Indeed; the British Empire's expedition, logistics and supplies are really a big problem. At the same time, the entire Argentine sea area must be blocked, which requires a lot of troops."

"Everything depends on money and food. I wonder if Senior Bao has any good suggestions."

There's something wrong with this question. You know you can't live without money and food, but you still ask him. The British themselves feel that it will cost a lot, so why should we find a solution from them? Isn’t this bullying? Besides, there is no reason in the world for you to fight a war and let others pay for it.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The British Empire has dominated the world for hundreds of years, and its wealth is unknown. Even if they fight for consumption, the Argentines are definitely no match. I am still very confident in this; as long as you do your best and don't cause trouble That’s no problem.”

Wei Yixin was a little disappointed because he just didn't pick up the fight! What does it mean to take care of yourself and just don't cause trouble? If you are ordinary people, it is okay to have such thoughts. But Bao Zixuan, as a super rich man, must be on top at critical moments.

The attitude has been very clear. The purpose of the dinner is to get everyone to actively buy British government bonds and tide over the difficulties together.

As the richest man in Hong Kong, Bao Zixuan, who has just made huge profits in Japan, will not take the lead; others will not buy it!
