Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Zixuan didn't know that his actions had caused a strong response in the UK. With his identity and status at this moment, he could actually visit MacLehose, who was unemployed at home, which was enough to show that Bao Zixuan was a good friend. This is basically impossible to achieve in the British political and business circles.

There are so many British political and business celebrities who have not gone to meet them. Bao Zixuan came here with a project, and countless people invited him. But after finishing the Bentley acquisition, the first stop was to go to Luton. It is said that when MacLehose was the governor of Hong Kong, he recommended his hometown to Hong Kong businessmen.

But with so many people, why was it that only Bao Zixuan remembered what he said. It seems that this guy is a good-natured person and can be treated as a true friend.

MacLehose, the retired Governor of Hong Kong, was once again reported by the British media. His presence was severely shaken, and the media that had previously had objections to his long reign in Hong Kong now had to admire his political wisdom.

People are not just thinking about developing Hong Kong and forgetting that they are British. It's a big game of chess. I believe that as Bao Zixuan comes to invest, its power will gradually emerge.

Even the Queen is asking about MacLehose. After all, she was under a lot of pressure when he served as Governor of Hong Kong for more than ten years.

Now it seems that the decision made back then was so wise, and MacLehose did indeed live up to public expectations. The mission was completed very well, and Bao Zixuan came to the UK to invest, which is a good proof.

The Queen of England said to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: Is there no hope for the empire to continue to govern Hong Kong?

At this time, I still don’t want to give up. Xiangjiang’s economic development and wealth status are really hard to let go.

Because of Heiyun Group, Xiangjiang's economic growth rate has always been ranked among the top in the world. And the advantages are very obvious. At this rate, it is estimated that it may surpass the UK in a few years. This result is really terrible, considering that there are only a few million people in Xiangjiang and the land area is small.

Britain is an old capitalist power after all. Although the sun never sets on the glory of the empire, it is so skinny that a camel is bigger than a horse. How could it be surpassed by a small Hong Kong? Although it is unimaginable, because of Bao Zixuan's existence, this idea is slowly becoming a reality.

Mrs. Thatcher didn't know how to answer yet, so she could only change the topic and said: "There are many places in the empire that have not yet been developed. I believe that the losses caused by the loss of colonies can be well compensated."

The UK is a maritime civilization country with relatively few resources. Now the Prime Minister actually said that we should develop the empire properly. Of course the Queen understands what it means. The colonial era will be gone forever, and the future can only rely on the local people. However, the Japanese have provided a good teaching material on this point. You must know that the area of ​​Japan is about the same as that of the United Kingdom. And its foundation is not as good as that of the UK. Isn’t it still the second largest economy in the world?

Of course the Queen knows what the Prime Minister means. Since she wants to change the subject, she can communicate from other places. So he continued: "McLehose is not very old now and can definitely continue to serve the empire."

The prime minister is the real manager of the country, and others can at most give their opinions. Although it was a bit against the rules at this time, no one would care about it.

In fact, Mrs. Thatcher had considered this issue. The MacLehose couple had great influence in Hong Kong. Even if you step down as governor, you can still serve the empire in other ways.

And before coming here, we had already held a meeting to discuss it. A position was temporarily added, which was tailor-made for MacLehose.

Mrs. Thatcher said with a smile: "We have considered this issue before and decided to appoint Sir MacLehose as Director of the Hong Kong Affairs Office."

The Hong Kong Affairs Office is a new department that mainly handles a series of issues such as businessmen and people from Hong Kong coming to the UK to invest, immigrate, and study. These businessmen in Xiangjiang are very rich, and Bao Zixuan is a good proof.

I had some concerns before coming to the UK to invest. Now that the Heiyun Group has arrived, I believe they will make a choice. In the future, many Xiangjiang businessmen will inevitably come to invest in the UK. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will surely bring the empire's economy to a higher level.

The queen was very excited when she heard this. As long as most businessmen are brought over, Xiangjiang will be an empty shell. Not to mention rapid development, it would be good to maintain the status quo.

However, there is also a trouble. Heiyun Group is too big in Xiangjiang. We must increase our efforts to win over Bao Zixuan. As long as this guy is still engaged in construction and investment in Xiangjiang, others will not give up completely.

This is a long and arduous task that can only be left to MacLehose to coordinate. No one in Great Britain was better than him in dealing with Xiangjiang merchants.

After leaving Buckingham Palace, Thatcher returned to her office and saw MacLehose waiting for her. I had already asked my secretary to notify MacLehose to come to the Prime Minister's Office, but I didn't expect to be called over by the Queen at the last minute.

Although it was rude to make people wait, no one dared to argue with the queen or rob her. And after all, Thatcher was also the Prime Minister of the Empire, and MacLehose couldn't ask for too much, mainly because he didn't dare.

Regarding the Prime Minister's invitation, although I don't know what to do specifically. But we can also guess that it must be related to Bao Zixuan and Xiangjiang. This kid is really looking for trouble for himself, but this time it's definitely a good thing.

After all, he has been the governor for ten years, and he still feels very young. I really wanted to continue serving the empire, but I had no way of serving the country before. Now that you have the opportunity, you must cherish it.

Mrs. Thatcher said to MacLehose: "Hello, Lord MacLehose! Long time no see. How are you doing lately?"

If you care about yourself so much, you must have something to ask for.

MacLehose did not pretend to be pretentious and directly replied: "My health is very good. It is not very realistic to go to the battlefield to expand the territory for the Queen; but there is still no problem in serving the empire in other fields."

This shows his attitude, and the meaning is very clear, he can continue to work in politics. At least there is nothing wrong with my body and I am still young.

Of course Mrs. Thatcher understood what MacLehose meant. To be honest, no one wanted to live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes while the body could still move and the mind could continue to calculate. A person who once had all his strength suddenly had nothing to do, and the gap in his heart was huge.

Thatcher: "It's good that Lord MacLehose has this idea. At least it shows that you are wholeheartedly thinking about the empire."

"There is a job I hope you can take over, and you are the only one who is most suitable for it at the moment."

Hearing that a job was given to him, and that it was the right one, gave MacLehose a sense of accomplishment. At least it shows that he is a qualified British person and can still serve the country in his later years.

MacLehose said with a serious expression and a firm attitude: "As long as the country is in need, I am obligated to do so."

This attitude made the Iron Lady very satisfied. It seems that there is no shortage of loyal and brave people in the empire, but they have not been properly explored before.

Thatcher: "It's not that serious. This job is familiar to you."

"The empire plans to establish a Xiangjiang Affairs Office, which will be mainly responsible for contacting Xiangjiang businessmen to come to the UK to invest, immigrate, study abroad and other matters."

"You have been the governor of Xiangjiang for ten years and have had many conflicts with the Chinese side. You also know the attitude of the other side. You must know better than anyone the probability that the empire will continue to govern Xiangjiang."

"The rapid economic development of Xiangjiang is inseparable from the policies you formulated back then. I am very familiar with the businessmen in Xiangjiang, and I hope you will make good use of this relationship. As far as I know, people in Xiangjiang still pay great attention to feelings, which is very different from that in the empire. different."

Of course, MacLehose understood what he meant, which was to win over Xiangjiang businessmen to invest. It is best to immigrate to the UK. If these super rich people leave, there is no doubt that Hong Kong’s economy will decline.

This move was very cruel, but MacLehose was very happy. At least it shows that the empire attaches great importance to the talents of Xiangjiang. These people do have their own uniqueness in doing business, and he understands this very well.

Although his identity has changed, MacLehose has no complaints about it. There were many foreign governors in the empire before, but why he was only given such a position? Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

The British Hong Kong Affairs Office was established, and MacLehose became the first director. The whole world knows what the British want to do, and it seems that there is something good to see in Hong Kong.

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that coming to visit MacLehose was just a pretense. Unexpectedly, a new department was directly created, and MacLehose was actually activated again. No one else has such influence.

But I don’t have the time to pay attention to those yet. The Luton Engine R\u0026D and Manufacturing Center is the issue that needs to be determined and solved most at the moment.
