Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The richest man had to express his position. Maybe when would the next meeting be? Wei Yixin knew very well that Bao Zixuan was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally. I understand this, and I guess it would be the same for me; having money is one thing, but I don’t want to be kidnapped by the authorities!

During the last Falklands War, Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group could be said to have contributed money and efforts, but in the end they were sanctioned by Argentina. Of course, this does not have a great impact on Bao Zixuan, but it does make less money; it may even affect the global layout.

Heiyun Group has business in many countries in South America, but Argentina cannot enter; to be precise, the door is closed. A global enterprise does not allow this to happen. But whoever spared no effort to support the British Empire could not rely on others.

One billion pounds of war bonds were not paid at all; not even the interest was paid. At this moment, people are continuing to buy, and no one will be willing to do so.

Wei Yixin: "Although the British Empire is very powerful, it still requires labor and expeditions. Even if we have accumulated some wealth before, modern warfare is too expensive. I should be aware of this."

"In order to ensure victory in the war, we decided to issue more national debt; the yield is still quite impressive. Of course, compared to the yield, gaining the friendship of the British Empire is more precious."

"As a super rich man, my junior has just established his prestige as a Hong Kong businessman in Japan; but we cannot sit idly by."

Since Bao Zixuan never spoke, Wei Yixin was naturally a little impatient to wait. First of all, Bao Shaofu must be captured before the plan can proceed normally; all the businessmen in Xiangjiang are watching, and he must speak at this moment.

After all, there is no way to avoid it. With the current situation, there is really no other place where British government bonds can be issued except Hong Kong.

In such a prosperous city, and with so many super-rich people, we must find ways to deal with them, and we can no longer take care of that much at the moment.

Bao Zixuan understood this, but the British approach made him very unhappy. Everyone knows that if you shoot someone first, why do you always keep an eye on them? Just find a few pro-British factions and the matter will be solved!

It can only be said that Mr. Bao takes things for granted too much, and at the same time, he takes his own influence too lightly.

There is really no so-called pro-British faction among the real super tycoons in Hong Kong. Ordinary rich people have limited financial resources; most importantly, their influence is not very great. Even if all the family property is taken out, there is not much money; compared to the huge military expenditure, it is nothing at all.

Even if they buy it, they won’t be able to attract a few people; they won’t be able to solve actual problems.

On the other hand, Bao Zixuan is very different. He keeps his wealth wherever he wants; as long as he wants, he can solve all problems by himself. But then a new situation will emerge; becoming the second Rothschild family and becoming Britain's largest creditor.

Even if he had money, Bao Zixuan would not be able to make wedding clothes for others; and he was also worried that if he had too much money, the UK would default on his debts.

But as long as you take out a little bit, it will be an astronomical sum. When wealthy businessmen and people see Bao Zixuan buying it, they will inevitably follow suit. In people's minds, Mr. Bao has never made a loss-making business; it is just a matter of making more or less.

With the size of Hong Kong's economy, it is not a big problem to work together to solve military expenditures.

As long as he nods, things will become very simple; the British will naturally keep an eye on him, otherwise the task will not be completed at all.

Bao Zixuan thought for a while and said: "For me, I never dare to forget the training I received from my alma mater; therefore, when the UK encounters a crisis, I have always spared no effort. But everything has a degree, and I hope the seniors can understand."

"The last billion pounds, I didn't even hear a sound until now; of course I know the difficulties in the UK, so I didn't say much."

"Now I am asked to buy national bonds. This is not the way to spend my money."

"Then again, Britain is in crisis; we cannot sit idly by. The family with the most bonds purchased at the Royal Dinner contributed 200 million pounds. I can't be worse than others. 250 million pounds is my sincerity; there are still several projects for this. Delay the launch!”

Bao Zixuan said one billion pounds without even hearing a sound, and everyone agreed very much. You must know that the vast majority of people at the scene have purchased British treasury bonds, but until now, no one has cashed in.

As a super tycoon, there are too many channels to invest; the income from government bonds is simply not worth it. It was just because of feelings that I had no choice but to do it. It turns out that even the principal cannot be paid, who will be fooled in the future.

Bao Zixuan knows very well that although he is not worried about the British retaliation at the moment, Heiyun Group has too many industries in Xiangjiang, and it will not be easy for him to use any means on you.

£250 million, compared to the profits he made in Japan; nothing at all. It is better to spend money to buy peace, and at the same time tell the British that the face that should be given is enough, don't go too far.

Several people at the scene were unhappy when they heard that Bao Zixuan was planning to purchase 250 million pounds of British treasury bonds; of course, the mentality of both parties was completely different.

The first is Wei Yixin. He knows more or less what the royal dinner is about. As for how Bao Zixuan controlled it, there was no doubt; he didn't have a few friends, and he was so talkative that there was no secret at all.

As the world's richest man, Bao Zixuan is definitely not weak in intelligence collection; let alone public dinner parties, there are many private activities; as long as he wants to, he will naturally know.

The rich and aristocratic people in the country are indeed unable to do anything. When the country is in crisis, they are still making their own plans. There are many centuries-old families in the UK, and it is impossible to calculate their exact wealth.

For example, the Rothschild family; even if the family is not at its peak at this moment, its wealth is still unmatched by ordinary rich people. Unexpectedly, they were only willing to spend 100 million pounds, which is simply a joke.

Now, unlike before, the Rothschild family has the backing of Israel, the little bully in the Middle East; Britain does not dare to go too far. This is why the Jews must establish a country that is completely their own; with a foundation, they will naturally not panic.

Although 250 million pounds is a lot, even as the governor of Hong Kong, you may not be able to earn it in your lifetime. But with Bao Zixuan’s price, it’s really a drop in the bucket; it’s not an exaggeration to describe it as painless or itchy.

Before, I thought that Bao Zixuan would pay more and other businessmen would follow suit; at least the amount would exceed the amount of war bonds purchased in the first Falklands War.

In recent years, Hong Kong's economy has developed rapidly; its scale is much larger than it was a few years ago. As for Bao Zixuan’s asset size, I don’t know how many times it has expanded.

Once other businessmen buy according to the proportion, the task will never be completed; Bao Zixuan only buys a quarter of the first time, isn't it an excuse for other wealthy businessmen!

The rich man who bought 20 million pounds of war bonds before can now only buy 5 million pounds. This is the standard set by the richest man Bao, and no one can find fault with it.

In addition, Mr. Huo was not very satisfied. Of course, he had the opposite idea to Governor Wei Yixin. He felt that Bao Zixuan had purchased too much, even if he did not pay for it. The British did not dare to make any mistakes. He was still very confident about this.

The current international situation is extremely unfavorable to Britain, which declared war on Argentina; and it was also because of the Malvinas Islands; it undoubtedly angered all South American countries. From the perspective of South American countries, the Malvinas Islands belong to South America; as a European country, the United Kingdom has no qualifications to intervene in South American affairs.

This is not the colonial period. If the Malvinas Islands are allowed to be occupied by the British, it will be a huge shame for the entire South American people.

And because of the Shinjo incident, diplomatic relations with Japan were lowered. If there is a conflict with China at this time, it will definitely be a huge disaster for Britain.

If the British want to issue national debt in Hong Kong, they must follow the voluntary principle; if they go too far, the mainland will never remain indifferent and sit idly by.

All wealthy Chinese businessmen do not want to buy it, that is what Mr. Huo wants in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Bao Zixuan failed to hold on; although the money was not much, once the hole was opened, it would not end well.

As for other tycoons, they think it is acceptable. If Bao Zixuan was reduced to a quarter, they could just follow it; it was just about losing money and avoiding disaster, and no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.

Although it is clear that the British do not dare to go too far, they still have to give them the face they deserve, as they are worried about being judged by others.

Wei Yixin thought for a moment and said: "Brother Bao, during the first Falklands War, you purchased 1 billion pounds of war bonds. Compared with 1982, the assets of Heiyun Group have increased many times. "

"Now I'm asking you for help, senior. I should give you some face; otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the country."

The meaning is obvious, you are so rich; you just bought so many treasury bonds, but you have no sincerity at all.

Everyone at the scene looked at Mr. Bao, and some wealthy Chinese businessmen even prayed in their hearts; the meaning was obvious, you have to resist.

Bao Zixuan: "If it wasn't for my seniors' request, I would buy up to 200 million pounds. Many families in the UK have wealth greater than mine. They were not criticized for buying 200 million pounds, but I bought 250 million pounds and was said to be too little. "I'm afraid there is no such truth in the world!"

"The asset size of Heiyun Group has indeed increased many times compared to 1982; but the expenses have increased even more. At present, most of the profits of Heiyun Group are invested in the construction of Heiyun Town."

"Not even Fucairah dares to occupy Xiangjiang's funds; it's not that I don't want to help, but my strength doesn't allow it."

Bao Zixuan's answer sounded absolutely perfect; there was nothing wrong with it at all. The current situation is like this, we really can't push the opponent too hard.

It has promised to buy 250 million pounds of bonds, which is better than nothing; it cannot be hung from a tree. So he briefly exchanged a few words with Bao Zixuan and then set off for the next goal.

If you don't have the richest man in your pocket, there is little point in looking for other Chinese businessmen; let's take a look at the attitude of British businessmen, hoping not to disappoint anyone.

In order to avoid suspicion and not want others to make irresponsible remarks, when Wei Yixin was talking to Bao Zixuan, Shen Bi deliberately distanced himself from the two of them.

When I saw the Governor coming, I naturally understood what was going on; it was hoped that HSBC would take the lead and in turn boost the atmosphere of the entire venue.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Shen! I have been too busy with work recently and have not had time to visit you. What a shame!"

How could he say that Wei Yixin was also the governor of Xiangjiang, yet he lowered his profile so low. Of course, it is not difficult to see from this that Shen Bi's status and influence in Xiangjiang.

Before the rise of Bao Zixuan, there was even a saying in Xiangjiang: Shen Bi is a man of iron, and a governor of flowing water. At some point, HSBC has more decision-making power than the Government House.

Wei Yixin has not been the governor for a long time, but Shen Bi has been in Xiangjiang for many years; even though his reputation has not been very good in recent years, his influence cannot be underestimated.

Besides, if Shen Bi takes the lead this time, it is reasonable to say some polite words.

Shen Bi did not expect that the other party would be so polite, even though he was a few years older than Wei Yixin; he was indeed a senior; but he still had to pay attention to his propriety. At the same time, when others give you face, you can't take advantage of it!

The Governor of Xiangjiang manages this city on behalf of the Queen. He must not look down on the face of the stranger but the face of the Buddha. He must not ignore others!

Shen Bi said with a smile: "You're welcome, junior, you are the governor of Xiangjiang now; please don't say that again next time, it will make me embarrassed!"

Only by respecting each other can we show the pattern; we are all people of status, don't think that you are superior to others!

Wei Yixin said very seriously: "Senior Shen, you must know the current situation of the British Empire better than anyone else!"

"The Royal Navy has begun to gather and is about to sail to the Falkland Islands."

"War, especially ocean warfare; the daily drain will be staggering. As one of the Empire's finest citizens, you cannot stay out of it."

Although he served as a soldier when he was young, he is now over 60 years old. Going to the battlefield is simply not realistic, so he can only provide national support in other ways.

As the chairman of HSBC, he can still mobilize some funds; Wei Yixin valued this and came to consult with Shen Bi.

The communication with Bao Zixuan did not achieve the desired results, but the task assigned by No. 10 Downing Street must be completed. The Iron Lady didn't care about anything else. The reason why things didn't get done was because he, the governor, was incompetent.

At present, Shen Bi's influence is lower than that of Bao Zixuan, but that is only in relative terms; strictly speaking, the richest man Bao no longer belongs to the category of human beings.

But compared to others, Shen Daban's name is definitely famous.

Dealing with Shen Bi will definitely have a certain effect. Unlike Bao Zixuan, Shen Bi was born and raised in England; in such a situation, he naturally knew what to do.

Shen Bi is such a smart person, but he can still understand what Wei Yixin wants to do. Then he said with a smile: "Senior, as a citizen of the empire, it is Shen's duty to be able to contribute to the country."

"That is to say, the age does not allow it, otherwise I must put on the military uniform again and go into battle to kill the enemy in person!"

Even though we know it is impossible to recruit veterans over 60 years old, we must speak more beautifully. There were many people watching at the scene, so the manly side must be shown.

Sure enough, after Shen Bi finished speaking, many people at the scene looked at him with admiration; maybe some people were thinking that Shen Daban was quite a man!
