Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After spending a few days with his mother, Bao Zixuan knew that he would start to get busy again. This time it’s not because I want to retreat to do scientific research, but because I have been looking for too many other people recently, and some of them are very important partners that are difficult to refuse.

Bao Zixuan has to come out today because Governor MacLehose sent him an invitation. Although MacLehose is now waiting for Youde to come over and hand over, he is still the governor of Xiangjiang before the handover, and he still has to give him the face he deserves.

It’s still the Peninsula Hotel, although I don’t really like Bao Zixuan here either. However, since the first time they talked about business here, everyone who invited him would choose the Peninsula Hotel. They all thought that Bao Shaofu had a special liking for this place. However, if everyone knew that the Peninsula Hotel was one of the few places he had heard of. It may be very strange, but it is true.

Although he is about to step down, Bao Zixuan does not dare to leave his post. After all, the British still have the final say in Xiangjiang. If they anger the other party because of a trivial matter, it will obviously not be worth the gain. Although he is leaving, he is still a frontier official when he returns to England, and he still needs to seek his opinions on some decisions in Xiangjiang.

When you reach the level of MacLehose, you will definitely put the interests of the country first, but sometimes a good relationship can bring unexpected surprises.

Michael Kadoorie, who had already received the news, personally greeted Bao Zixuan and MacLehose in the hotel lobby. In fact, he cared more about Bao Zixuan than MacLehose at this time. It's not just because MacLehose is leaving the job, it's mainly because he really has something to do with Bao Zixuan.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, Michael Kadoorie hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand and said, "Welcome Bao Sheng to the Peninsula Hotel. Your Excellency, the Governor, has already made a reservation. I will take you there right now."

Bao Zixuan also didn't understand why Michael Kadoorie was so enthusiastic; but as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Since others give you enough face, you can't do it yourself.

Bao Zixuan: "Then there is Mr. Lao Jiali."

When Bao Zixuan sat down, Michael Kadoorie said: "Sheng Bao, I really have something to ask you. This is just the opportunity. After talking to the governor, can you please sit down for a while?" .”

Although Bao Zixuan didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, he thought it would be something he could easily do. Moreover, if the Kadoorie family can continue to stand in Xiangjiang in the future, it is by no means an idle family. It can be regarded as a family that can be socialized.

Bao Zixuan: "No problem, but the time cannot be too long. I will have an appointment with someone else later, so being late is not a good idea."

Michael Kadoorie: "Thank you very much, Mr. Bao. I won't dare to delay you for too long."

In less than five minutes, Michael Kadoorie brought Governor MacLehose to Bao Zixuan. Not daring to disturb the two of them, Michael Kadoorie quickly withdrew.

Bao Zixuan stood up and said, "I feel that the warm invitation from His Excellency the Governor is very kind of you."

MacLehose: "You didn't attend the Christmas charity dinner. I thought you had a problem with me! I didn't expect that you actually developed an earth-effect aircraft without saying a word. I made the mistake of blaming you this time. I'm inviting you this time. One is congratulations, and the other is also a farewell."

"London has appointed Sir Edward Youde as the new governor of Hong Kong. I am now waiting for him to come and take over."

Bao Zixuan: "That's really a pity. Although we don't have much contact. But to be honest, the security in Xiangjiang has improved a lot since you took office. I often faced all kinds of harassment when I was very young, but now I almost don't see it. . These are real achievements, at least for ordinary people in Xiangjiang."

MacLehose didn't expect Bao Zixuan to comment on him like this. It seemed that this young man was relatively simple at heart. Regardless of whether it's fake or not, it still sounds very comfortable now.

MacLehose: "Thank you for your recognition. To be honest, I like industry very much. But before you, most of the super-rich people in Hong Kong were engaged in shipping and real estate. It wasn't until you came along that I felt that the future development of Hong Kong should be guaranteed."

Bao Zixuan: "You are so flattering to me. I alone cannot decide the fate of Xiangjiang."

MacLehao ​​knew that Bao Zixuan would not admit it even if he had this ability. After all, when your strength can be taken into consideration by those in power, you are not far from death.

MacLehose: "The reason for this meeting with you is because London has the latest instructions regarding ground-effect aircraft."

Knowing that some things cannot be avoided, Bao Zixuan no longer struggles with them. He smiled and said: "If you have anything to do, please tell me, Your Majesty the Governor. I didn't expect that a small transport vehicle could alert London."

MacLehose: "Do you really think this is a small means of transportation? Even the radar station deployed in Xiangjiang did not detect the Xiangjiang monster during its test flight. Fast speed and large transportation capacity are definitely important weapons for penetration. "

"Therefore, London is very concerned about the test flight progress of the ground-effect aircraft. I came here to ask you when it will be fully finalized and enter the mass production stage."

Bao Zixuan: "It still depends on the test flight situation, but it will not be finalized and mass-produced until the end of the year at the earliest. After all, this is an aircraft, and we must ensure that it is foolproof. No one can bear the responsibility if something goes wrong."

When he heard that mass production would not be finalized until the end of the year at the earliest, MacLehose felt relieved; after all, he would have returned to China by that time. Just let Youde have a headache about Xiangjiang. The current situation is getting more and more confusing, and he really doesn't dare to continue thinking about it. Although I feel very unwilling, I also know that the form is weaker than the human being. He was the first person to know China's attitude, so he was very optimistic about the future of the British Empire in Hong Kong.

MacLehose: "London hopes to sell the first two Xiangjiang monster ground-effect aircraft to the British Empire. There is no problem with Heiyun!"

After hearing similar words as Ming Qiang, the British wanted to buy two ships without even asking the price. Either you don’t care how much it costs; or you just feel like you don’t dare to sell it at a high price. Obviously Britain belongs to the latter, although Bao Zixuan is unwilling to do so. However, we also know that this is the current situation. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to fight against a country.

Bao Zixuan: "These are not problems, but we have not yet negotiated a follow-up titanium alloy contract with the Soviets. Therefore, I cannot guarantee when I will get enough raw materials. This is more troublesome."

"As long as we can get enough raw materials, I won't have any problem selling the first two aircraft to the British. Also, Heiyun currently does not have a military license, so it can only sell the aircraft to British private companies. I hope you can understand."

Hearing this, MacLehose also had a headache. After all, things involving the Soviets were difficult to handle. The UK considers itself to be powerful, but it doesn't compare with anyone. The Soviet Union has just finished flexing its muscles in front of the world. At this time, Britain is really not good enough in front of others.

Also, this guy wants a military license. If I give you a military license, I won't be rebellious. And local British companies will definitely not agree, this is to divide their cake.

Using the Soviets as an excuse was to let MacLehose and the British know that half of the ground-effect aircraft were controlled by the Soviets. Even if Bao Zixuan agrees, it may not work. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The military industrial license is just a test. Bao Zixuan has already prepared for this matter. The British will definitely give it to him when the time comes, and they will never delay it.

Afterwards, MacLehose asked some questions about the Heiyun Group and Yulin Institute of Technology. These were important achievements in economic and educational development during his administration, although anyone with a discerning eye would know that they had little to do with him. But it can be reflected in his resume, and wherever he works, everyone will think that he is familiar with Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group, and attracting investment will be relatively simple. These connections in London should also be taken into consideration, which can be said to be very helpful for your future work. After all, working there is inseparable from commerce and industry.

It can be said that no matter where he works, he cannot do without the support of super rich people like Bao Zixuan, so MacLehose seems to have suddenly figured it out. Bao Zixuan will always be a super rich man, after all, the company belongs to him. And in your current position, others may give you some face, but if your descendants don't live up to expectations, who will care about you in the future.

At this time, it was also for the sake of forming a good relationship with the family. At least for his own sake, Bao Zixuan would look at the family members in a different light. This is enough, so there is no need to offend the young man in front of him. God only knows what his future achievements will be.
