Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At the critical moment, the British are reliable, and everything else is in vain; attitude speaks for itself. Through Shen Bi's bold words, Wei Yixin has absolute confidence in persuading the other party! Such a high profile turned out to be just lip service; and at a time when the country is in crisis, not to mention the royal family and Downing Street, even the people in the country must have opinions.

If you really can't do it, don't say it, otherwise you will end up harming others and yourself. Originally, your share of power was taken into account, but in the end it was discovered that it was not the case; the plan had been made, but it could easily drag down the overall situation.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Senior Shen is worthy of being an elite of the British Empire. He is absolutely reliable at critical moments."

Originally, as two people, they could have met privately to discuss these things; but now, unlike in the past, they had to use Shen Bi's influence to complete the tasks assigned by No. 10 Downing Street.

Wei Yixin's intention was obvious, and after Shen Bi took the lead to express his position; other businessmen couldn't refuse, so the matter was half successful. The desired result was not achieved with Bao Zixuan; then he could only rely on British businessmen.

He would not dare to use Xiangjiang's financial balance unless absolutely necessary. Someone must take the blame afterwards; as the governor of Xiangjiang, he has nothing to do with it.

Shen Bi said with a smile: "You are welcome, junior. As a subject of the empire, we have long been closely connected with the fate of the British Empire. Therefore, when the country is in crisis, Shen has no shirk of responsibility. Whatever you want from HSBC, the Governor can do it." Let’s be honest; I will give my best!”

The main reason why we are confident is that HSBC currently has no Chinese shares; even the Chinese directors who were personally invited by Shen Bi have left the HSBC board of directors. Well-known Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong have all become bankers; according to the banking law, they naturally have to withdraw from the HSBC board of directors.

In other words, it has no relationship with HSBC. Of course, this is not very accurate; there is still some cooperation between the two parties. But the partners do not belong to us. HSBC has nothing to do with them and has no right to control what they want to do.

The major shareholders are all British. Anyone who dares to stand up and oppose relevant national policies at this time is no different from a traitor. It is precisely because of this that Shen Bi speaks so beautifully!

Wei Yixin thought for a while and said: "HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong; I hope Mr. Shen can take the lead and buy more British treasury bonds."

HSBC is not weak, but the tasks assigned by Downing Street are too heavy; unless HSBC is hollowed out, it will be impossible for them alone to achieve it. I just hope Shen Bi can be generous and be a good leader!

In fact, Shen Bi knew Wei Yixin's purpose when he walked toward him.

As for speaking more beautifully, it is nothing more than to express an attitude; I don't want outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. Now it's time to get serious and spend real money; Shen Bi is really in a bit of a dilemma.

In recent years, during the golden period of development in Hong Kong, HSBC has made a lot of money. But in order to maintain its position in the Hong Kong Bank, it also invested a lot of money.

Unlike other companies in Bao Zixuan, Heiyun Group and Blackstone Fund can bring huge profits to it; HSBC is not strong in other industries except in the financial field.

It looks very beautiful, but I really don’t have much money at my disposal.

The words have been spoken, and everyone is looking at him; now there is no other choice, he must show courage.

Shen Bi: "No problem, the country needs it; Shen should go all out! HSBC is willing to spend 500 million pounds to buy British government bonds."

Everyone felt incredible when they heard this. Everyone is very clear about the strength of each other; if it is Bao Zixuan, let alone 500 million pounds, it is 5 billion or even 50 billion; it will feel normal.

Not to mention others, Japan's profits this time alone exceeded 50 billion pounds.

HSBC is indeed not weak in strength, but its main money-making business is concentrated in Xiangjiang; other places cannot contribute much, and the overall situation is a bit awkward.

Now directly spending 500 million pounds, it is a desperate rhythm.

The most powerful family in the UK only purchased 200 million pounds of national debt; Bao, the richest man in the world, only bought 250 million pounds; Shen Daban directly doubled it, which is really intriguing.

But this was not a good thing for the British businessmen present; Shen Bi's generosity made them very uncomfortable.

I am still as stingy as last time, but it is hard to explain; I am able to develop, open a company, and make money in Hong Kong because of the support of the United Kingdom. Otherwise, where can resources be obtained and who will take care of them.

Shen Bi is just a professional manager, so it's normal not to feel bad about spending money; but they need to take money out of their own pockets, so naturally they won't do it willingly. At this moment, Shen Daban has already put forward his posture. If he doesn't follow up, it will definitely not be justified.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Senior Shen deserves to be an elite of the empire. I believe that the country will not forget your efforts."

Everyone was dumbfounded, what did Shen Bi mean? Not everyone had such courage to directly double the price of Bao Zixuan. Discussions began immediately, mainly about what to do next.

At this time, an old friend came over to Bao Zixuan.

Michael Kadoorie is definitely a special being in Hong Kong, and it is true that he is a foreigner; but the Kadoorie family has little relationship with the United Kingdom. Of course, because of my Jewish identity, I still get a lot of benefits.

But British businessmen will not regard them as their own, at least their interests cannot be consistent.

Chinese business groups will not recruit the Kadoorie family; most people will not accept it.

But because of the shrewdness of the Jews, their character that they would not offend anyone, and their own strength, no one dared to look down on the Kadoorie family.

Bao Zixuan had previously revealed to him that he was going to Japan to invest, which made the Kadoorie family make a lot of money. But for an unfamiliar market, the Kadoorie family did not dare to take too many risks; the scale was not very large.

When he learned that Bao Zixuan had started selling stocks, he did not hesitate at all; he also followed suit, even to a certain extent; and he did so well in advance.

But now people in Xiangjiang have identified the Kadoorie family as Bao Zixuan's faction, mainly because the two parties cooperate too closely; many people are very envious, but they also know that not everyone can like the richest man Bao.

Michael Kadoorie smiled and said, "Sheng Bao, you still have a good sense."

"The Kadoorie family also invested in Japan, but my father was a little worried; so the amount was not very large. They made some money, but it was far behind the Blackstone Fund."

"There will be a good opportunity next time, but you have to think about it."

When Bao Zixuan first came over, there were too many people chatting with him; Michael Kadoorie did not come forward. Seeing no one at this moment, it was natural to have a good exchange.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've been looking for you recently. There are a lot of people here, and I have to go to China in two days. Let's take a look around, and we can take a look at the Hutchison Plaza project!"

The two parties have cooperated for many years, and they still know Bao Zixuan's character Michael Kadoorie very well. To put it this way, a new business opportunity has definitely been discovered; it seems to be quite big, otherwise I wouldn’t pay so much attention to it.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "I will arrange the time when I get back. Just give me a notice in advance!"

Attitude is everything, Bao Zixuan made an appointment, not everyone in Xiangjiang has this kind of treatment. Since people think of the Kadoorie family, there must be no hesitation.

Michael Kadoorie's answer satisfied the richest man Bao. A gang of three heroes still needs to recruit more allies; they may be useful at critical moments.

Suddenly hearing that HSBC decided to purchase 500 million pounds of British treasury bonds, both of them were stunned. What kind of song did Shen Bi sing? Didn't it make Bao Zixuan look ugly?

Just now he said he would buy 250 million pounds of government bonds, but HSBC doubled the amount; it would make sense if HSBC was stronger than Black Cloud Group. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no comparability between HSBC and Heiyun.

It was obvious that he was giving Bao Zixuan eye drops, but Shen Bi had no good intentions.

How can I say that Xiangjiang is ruled by the British; and it was at the banquet at the Governor's Mansion. Shen Bi's actions clearly show that at critical moments, the British are still reliable; everything else is in vain!

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "Shen Bi is really determined not to give up. Isn't he worried that it will cause a chain reaction?"

Michael Kadoorie was not happy that Shen Bi had purchased so much national debt that he could not afford it.

Even if Britain were defeated, it would have little to do with him. I am not British, and I have never taken any advantage because of my status. Whether the British Empire was dead or alive, strong or not; it didn't matter that much.

The income from national bonds is not as high as the interest rate on bank loans; the Kadoorie family is not interested at all.

In recent years, the Kadoorie family has been closely following the footsteps of Mr. Bao.

The two hotels in Heiyun Town have been clearly handed over to them for operation; all the hotels in Hutchison Plaza in Mainland China need to be built by themselves. As an Iraqi, domestic investment is essential.

Fucaira is Bao Zixuan's territory, so naturally it cannot be left behind. Even if the family is wealthy and has launched so many large-scale projects at once, the capital chain is definitely not abundant. Fortunately, he has a good relationship with the richest man Bao and can get a low-interest loan from Heiyun Bank.

I don’t want to buy the so-called British national debt, which was not settled last time; there is no need to bury the British Empire with me.

Bao Zixuan purchased 250 million pounds, allowing Michael Kadoorie to see an opportunity; just reduce it accordingly. Who would have thought that Shen Bi would show up unexpectedly; HSBC purchased 500 million pounds of British treasury bonds. Isn't this embarrassing!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "How can I say that Shen Daban is also British? Argentina's strength is not what it used to be; it is not that easy for Britain to win the war."

"The Soviet Union has taken action, and the sinking of a British warship is the best proof. This is already an open secret, and it is normal for the British to be anxious."

"In addition, South American countries do not want Britain to win the war; they have been under colonial rule for too long. The Malvinas Islands not only involve Argentina, but also the face of the entire Latin America."

No one would doubt Bao Zixuan’s relationship with the Soviet Union.

Britain is not weak in strength, but it depends on who it is compared with; the United States and the Soviet Union are the two superpowers in the world, and the British Empire is really not enough in the eyes of others.

But this matter is already related to Britain's international status and the issue of the Iron Lady's governance. Naturally, the British cannot hand over the island easily. If that were the case, Argentines would not be grateful to them; it would also become a national joke.

Even if the land was lost, even if it was not the British mainland, it was only fought for by our predecessors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. No one dares to bear the historical infamy if unfilial descendants give way easily!

Michael Kadoorie whispered: "Will Britain be defeated this time?"

Although the defeat of Britain had little to do with the Kadoorie family, many things had to be prepared in advance. The family still has some investments in the UK; if they want to take advantage of Hong Kong, they have to behave well!

If Britain loses the war, the economy will only get worse; then it is definitely not good news for the real estate market. Selling in advance would be a good choice.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "It's not that serious. Britain has the ability to flip the table."

"I just feel that this war is very unfavorable to Britain; as long as nothing goes wrong, even if it wins, it will still have to pay a heavy price. The Argentines are likely to use delaying tactics and fight a protracted war with the British. It depends on who can bear it first. "

On the surface, Bao Zixuan prefers the UK; but after a little analysis, you will find that it is not very optimistic.

The UK does have the right to overturn the table, but nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword; behind Argentina stands the Soviet Union, the country with the most nuclear weapons in the world. Besides, Argentina did not attack the British mainland, so there is no reason to use nuclear weapons against them.

A protracted war between the two sides would be very detrimental to countries with weak industrial bases; but this time there is a big difference. Britain needs to cross thousands of miles, and Argentina is at its doorstep; if it really falls into a stalemate, the British will never be able to handle it.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "You still see clearly and have been arrogant for hundreds of years; they should suffer a little."

The location of the two is relatively remote, and most people are attracted by Shen Bi and Wei Yixin; there is no one around, otherwise Michael Kadoorie would not dare to speak like this.

Even if they heard about it, they would not do anything to the Kadoorie family; it is the most uneconomical thing to do to offend others with their words. As long as you are a smart person, you will not be so deliberate!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The world situation is slowly changing, but for businessmen, isn't this an opportunity?"

After saying that, the two of them smiled knowingly.

Bao Zixuan was because after seeing Shen Bi's performance, other British businessmen would never dare to be clever. Even if it is not more than HSBC's purchase of government bonds, it is not too little; it will definitely do its best.

Limiting one's own development is one aspect, but another point is crucial; that is, it enhances the confidence and strength of the British army.

The strength has become stronger and the confidence is more abundant; naturally, I dare to fight with the Argentinians. The chances of the two sides falling into endless fighting will be greater, and whether the war is won or not will be very detrimental to Britain. National power is declining and the economy is in recession; it is already conceivable!

As for Michael Kadoorie, he attaches more importance to the opportunity mentioned by Bao Zixuan. He believes that we will know the answer when we go to China in two days, and he is very much looking forward to it!
