Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 149 Hong Kong Government Dinner 2

As soon as 7 o'clock arrived in the evening, I saw that the Governor had come to the hall on the first floor with his wife. Everyone stopped talking and waited for the introduction of the master of ceremonies and the arrangements of the staff. After all, the Governor is now the highest leader of Xiangjiang in name, so he should be given the face

You still have to give it. Otherwise, everyone will not look very good.

The master of ceremonies said into the microphone: "Thank you all for coming today. Now I would like to invite our respected Governor MacLehose to speak."

After MacLehose walked onto the stage, he looked at the people below and said: "This is my eighth year in the beautiful city of Hong Kong. In these eight years, I have witnessed the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy; I have witnessed the progress of Xiangjiang's urban construction.

It is changing with each passing day; at the same time, it also witnesses the diligence and wisdom of the people of Xiangjiang."

"However, nothing in Hong Kong would be possible without the strong support of everyone here. I am very grateful for everyone's support and love for me and the Hong Kong government. I would like to thank you all and hope everyone has a pleasant night."

When Huo Yingdong heard what Mac Lehose had said, he suddenly said to Bao Zixuan: "Can you hear anything? Mr. Bao."

Bao Yugang had already gone to chat with other friends. There was only Bao Zixuan here with the surname Bao. Knowing that he was talking to him, Bao Zixuan returned: "I started to play the emotional card. After all, we are facing return negotiations. The British still don't want to

Let it go, but this kind of thing is the general trend. And it cannot be changed. The British don't have such good teeth. If you don't wait until the end, you may have all your teeth knocked out."

Bao Zixuan only dares to say these words to Huo Yingdong at the moment. If someone with ulterior motives hears them, he will definitely be the unlucky one. Although it won't hurt your bones, the British will always make you uncomfortable.

Huo Yingdong did not expect Bao Zixuan to have such an awareness. It seems that all Chinese people here love their country equally.

Huo Yingdong: "Bao Sheng is not opposed to returning to the mainland. What do you think of the north?"

Bao Zixuan: "I firmly support the reunification of the country. Without the support of a strong country, we people will be treated as second-class citizens or even third-class citizens anywhere in the world. Why bother! Some people say they are patriotic, but

However, if their nationality has been changed, sooner or later these people will be intolerable to the public."

"Although I spend more time in the United States, there is nothing I can do about it. There are no technical talents in Hong Kong. I chose to study engineering for this reason. Science and technology will rejuvenate the country and industry will rejuvenate the country. I want to build a world-class university in Hong Kong

This is also the purpose of attending the best polytechnic school.”

"China lags far behind in science, engineering and technology. I will try my best to catch up and do my best in personnel and affairs and let fate dictate!"

Huo Yingdong: "I didn't expect that Bao Sheng, at such a young age, could still see the situation clearly in the face of major right and wrong. It's really rare."

Bao Zixuan: "It doesn't matter. As long as the country is strong, it doesn't matter if we make some sacrifices. The money we make is enough to last for several lifetimes, but what's the use of China if it's not strong! It's easy for an individual to be too strong and the country to be too weak.

Huo Sheng must be aware of this discovery!"

Huo Yingdong does have a deep understanding. For so many years, he has been working hard for the return of Hong Kong. He has been suppressed by the British and Hong Kong governments. This has made it impossible to enter many projects, but it still cannot suppress his patriotic heart.

Huo Yingdong: "Sheng Bao has seen it thoroughly. We will have more exchanges if we have the opportunity in the future."

Bao Zi

At this time, seeing Bao Yugang walking over with an Englishman, Huo Yingdong and Bao Zixuan stopped chatting. Bao Yugang said to the Englishman: "Shen Sheng, this is Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group, Mr. Bao. Haven’t you always wanted to get to know me!”

"Sheng Bao, this is Mr. Shen Bi, the senior manager of HSBC."

When Huo Yingdong saw Shen Bi coming, he said hello and left. He and Shen Bi probably had no special friendship.

Shen Bi graduated from St. Edward's College, Oxford University.

In 1945, he served in the military in India, the Middle East and Libya. In 1982, when *** and Margaret Thatcher were negotiating on the issue of Hong Kong sovereignty, Shen Bi, then chairman of HSBC Bank, proposed: "The United Kingdom must retain the right to govern and hand over Hong Kong's sovereignty." "Sovereignty is just for show." Shen Bi won the consensus of the British side with his opinion of "exchanging sovereignty for the right to govern." Mrs. Thatcher herself also had reservations about China's proposal of "one country, two systems" and felt that the trip to Beijing was full of difficulties.

In 1948, he was demobilized and went to Hong Kong to join the HSBC Bank. He worked in Singapore and the RB HSBC branch for several years. In 1971, he was appointed as the general manager. He was promoted step by step.

He was appointed chairman of HSBC in 1977 and served until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC's profits grew rapidly and its business development reached its peak.

He was vigorous and bold in his style and had close relations with Chinese business people. In 1979, he sold all the ordinary shares of British-owned Hutchison Enterprises held by HSBC to Cheung Kong Holdings;

In 1980, another 2 billion Hong Kong dollars were used to support Bao Yugang's purchase of a controlling stake in Wharf, and successively recruited several Chinese members such as Li Chaoru and Deng Lianru to the HSBC board of directors.

In 1985, he also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC Headquarters Building, and spent another 3.1 billion U.S. dollars to purchase 51% of the equity of Ocean Mile Bank in the United States. This demonstrated the strong strength of HSBC under his leadership, so Hong Kong people called him the "Taipan King" .

I have heard many stories about Bao Zixuan, the most famous executive in the history of HSBC, and there is no overlap with him. However, after seeing him today, he still needs to be polite.

Bao Zixuan stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, senior! I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you."

When Bao Yugang was confused, Shen Bi also stretched out his hand and shook it with Bao Zixuan and said, "Hello, junior fellow!"

He also said to Bao Yugang: "Don't you know, Mr. Bao? Mr. Bao and I are alumni."

Bao Yugang: "Remember, you are all students at Oxford University."

Shen Bi said to Bao Zixuan: "How come the junior brother and Huo Yingdong are so familiar!"

Bao Zixuan knew what the old boy was worried about, so he said: "It's the first time we met today. We happened to meet each other, so we chatted a few more words."

Shen Bi thought that would be good, so that everyone could talk. Otherwise, they could only talk about business matters.

Shen Bi: "There are many Oxford alumni in Xiangjiang. We can get together more often. More contact with some people is not necessarily a good thing."

Bao Zixuan knows the British's worries, but what he doesn't know now is that some issues about him have been reported to Downing Street. The British don't want to let go of Xiangjiang, so some big entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang must be the priority targets.

Bao Zixuan has no complicated family affairs and no worries in the mainland. He is the owner of the largest company in Hong Kong. All this shows the British that they can draw him to the British side.

Bao Zixuan: "I usually don't have much time in Xiangjiang, as long as I make sure I'm on call."

Shen Bi: "Then it's settled. Let's get together more often in the future. HSBC will have a thank you dinner on January 3rd. You must come to attend! You are now our biggest customer of HSBC."

Bao Zixuan: "I will definitely go, please don't worry, senior."

After chatting with Shen Bi for a while, Bao Yugang took him away. It was quite interesting to think about the tycoons in Xiangjiang. They would hold many parties between Christmas and New Year's Day every year, but they also had to have appeal. Human organization. Otherwise, who would care about you!

At this time, the driver said on the stage: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, our bidding will begin soon. Please keep quiet for the time being. Thank you for your cooperation."

When Bao Zixuan first came in, he got a number plate. This was a number compiled by the Hong Kong government based on everyone's invitation, and was prepared for the current auction.

The Hong Kong government now has to rescue too many refugees, resulting in insufficient financial allocation. Now that all the rich people in Hong Kong have come here, they have to spend some money on them.
