Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 1788 State of War

After receiving Reagan's affirmative answer, the Iron Lady went straight to full health. Whether the sneak attack on the British warship was done by the Americans or not, it became unimportant. Obtaining the weapons and equipment they wanted from the Americans showed that the other party did not dare to use them to attack the British warships.

He was determined to get things done; he also knew that the Soviet Union was the real enemy and the true meaning of the British Empire.

After everything was ready, the Iron Lady immediately held a cabinet meeting; after receiving support from cabinet members, she decided to hold a press conference immediately.

In recent times, the British Empire has definitely been called the focus country; first, a fighter jet was shot down, and then it lowered its diplomatic level with Japan. Of course, this is not a good thing for any country. At this moment, a press conference is suddenly held to express its intention to

There is something important to announce; as a media, of course you cannot miss it.

In the Press Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Iron Lady decided to attend in person; going to war with the Argentines is not a trivial matter, and the world must see the tough side of the British Empire.

London is a world-famous city, and almost all the world's major media have branches here. When I learned that the British side was going to hold a press conference, I didn't even need to convene it, and I quickly arrived at the scene.

When the time came, the Iron Lady appeared on the rostrum and spoke directly to the reporters at the scene: "Just one day ago, the British Empire's Falkland Islands Fleet was attacked by the Argentine Navy; the Royal Navy lost fifteen warships; 346 warriors perished at sea.

"

"The British Empire will give the heaviest counterattack to the enemy's shameless behavior; let the enemy know that provoking Britain will pay a heavy price."

"I declare that from this moment on, the British Empire and Argentina have entered a state of war; the United Kingdom will once again organize an expeditionary force; the United Kingdom will not unilaterally decide how long this fight will last. There is only one goal, and that is complete victory."

There is no need to say anything more at this moment, the declaration of war already means everything.

After the Iron Lady finished speaking, she didn't give reporters any chance to ask questions and left directly. Declaring war is very satisfying, but if you want to win the war, there are too many preparations to be done.

Although it has full support from the Americans, the deployment of its own troops also requires time to prepare.

The Iron Lady knew very well that the declaration of war at this moment was to reserve time for the Argentines; but Britain had no other choice at all. The warship was sunk, and it was necessary to give an explanation to the people; but it turned out that there was no response, and the people naturally would not agree.

Argentina's national strength is limited, and even if it takes one more month to prepare, it probably won't make any waves.

Britain declared war on Argentina, which quickly spread around the world. After a British fighter jet was shot down, many military experts analyzed that the two countries were likely to enter a state of war again. But they did not expect that this moment would come so soon.

The last war only had an impact on South American countries. Of course, Xiangjiang businessmen contributed a lot of money; but the overall impact was not great. After all, the Falklands Islands were still too far away from Xiangjiang.

The day after meeting with the British ambassador, Bao Shaofu returned to Hong Kong. It was not easy to stay in Japan all the time, and he was about to go to Europe; he had to give an explanation to his family.

Seeing that his two daughters could run away, Mr. Bao really didn't know what to say. His wife Zhang Youran was the only one taking care of them. Although there was a nanny, it always felt awkward since her husband and mother-in-law were not around.

After returning home, I did not go to the company immediately; instead, I chose to spend time with my family. At the same time, I had already planned to go north to Kyoto in a week to see my mother and son.

Bao Zixuan said apologetically: "Honey, I'm sorry; I have been too busy in the past two years. It is really hard for you to take care of the children at home alone."

Of course, Zhang Youran knows what her husband is doing outside; but there are some things that she can't control. To be precise, there is no way to control them. The family assets are getting bigger and bigger, and the strength will naturally increase accordingly. If you don't even have the ability to protect yourself,

Then in the end you will just be at the mercy of others.

Zhang Youran said with a smile: "That's right, there is nothing missing at home; the servants are also very attentive. My mother can usually help take care of things, so I don't feel tired."

Li Yulin has hardly been home in the past year, and Bao Zixuan is not here. The third wife can't bear to see her daughter alone, so she often comes to help.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that her mother-in-law Li Yulin must be hiding something from her; to be precise, she is taking care of her husband's other children, probably boys. Zhang Youran has been disappointed about this for a while, after all, she is a generous woman; she does not want to see this.

Something happens.

It can be seen that the Black Cloud Group continues to grow stronger, and the media reports that my husband's other company, Blackstone Fund, has made more than 100 billion US dollars in profits in Japan; I slowly began to feel relieved.

Such a huge family fortune cannot be divided among hundreds of children, not to mention a few children. Of course, it also has a lot to do with the education received since childhood and the environment in which one grew up.

Zhang Yuliang has three wives, even her two half-brothers; each of them has more than one wife. It is impossible to ask her husband to be monogamous, just think about it.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "What are your plans for the children? Are they to be educated at home or sent to kindergarten?"

Heiyun Group has many schools at all levels, and is even well-known around the world. But regarding the education of the children, it is still necessary to seek the opinion of the wife. After all, he usually takes very little care, and it is impossible to pay too much attention in the future; no matter what

No matter what decision Zhang Youran makes, he cannot object to it; Bao Shaofu is very clear about this.

Zhang Youran thought for a while and said: "You can't always stay at home and send him to Heiyun Kindergarten; the environment is good and the supporting facilities are complete. You can't do anything special, which is not conducive to the growth of the child."

After hearing his wife's decision, Mr. Bao was very happy; he was really worried that he would not agree to send his daughter to kindergarten and receive education alone at home. Although he had never been a father in his previous life and had no relevant experience, he still hoped that his child would have a happy childhood.

A long separation is better than a new marriage. Even if you have no feelings, you still have to pretend to be hungry and thirsty, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to your wife.

Moreover, Zhang Youran also had a clear goal in mind, and she had to get pregnant again; without giving birth to a boy, her status was never that stable.

Early the next morning, Mr. Bao had just gotten up and received an invitation from the Governor's Mansion. It didn't take much to think about it, it must be a matter of money.

Just the night before, the Queen's dinner was a great success; with the royal family taking the lead, other nobles and wealthy people will naturally not lag behind.

More than 100 people decided to subscribe for British treasury bonds on the spot, with the amount exceeding 2 billion pounds. For the British, who have always been conservative, this is already very rare.

Although funds were raised in Hong Kong during the last Falklands War, there is no telling when the war will take place this time. Naturally, we must be fully prepared. As the most economically developed city in the world, Hong Kong has a lot of super-rich people; they need to prepare for the war.

A little blood, I believe, will give you face.

And the visitor made it clear that Governor Wei Yixin wanted to meet with him alone before the dinner.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan naturally understood what he meant; he still wanted him to be the first, how could he still be fooled.

Things did not become clearer in 1982, and there was no Fucairah; today is different from the past, so the British should just take a rest.

My attitude is very clear and I will go there to attend the dinner; but the time is very limited. I just came back and there are too many things in the company that need to be dealt with; I hope your Excellency the President can understand.

He said he wanted the other party to understand, but his attitude was extremely firm; no objection was allowed at all.

After Zhang Youran got up, he saw the invitation and said with a smile: "I have never met this governor, but his wife comes to visit every year; of course, she hopes to get donations."

Madam diplomacy is applicable to any country; as the richest man in Hong Kong and a world-famous figure, Bao Zixuan will definitely receive more attention. As a high official of the party, the Governor of Hong Kong must of course unite the local rich and famous people.

But Bao Zixuan is not at home all year round, so sending his wife to come out at this time is the most appropriate. And as the governor's wife, charity, safeguarding women's rights, and caring for children are her job scope. Coming to visit Zhang Youran is not only to build a good relationship, but also to

Let him make a donation.

As the official wife of the richest man, no one can say that the Bao family is unkind because of their wealth; every time they come here, they will write checks worth tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars; of course, Bao Zixuan will not care about these at all. After all, making money is too easy for him.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "When the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold; Britain has declared war on Argentina, and Wei Yixin is for war bonds. He wants to meet me in advance; let's forget it!"

"You must not be the first to do it this time, lest you be criticized by others."

Not only saying it to myself, but also conveying the meaning to my wife.

When marrying the richest man in the world, a woman's hands cannot be too shabby; the funds at her disposal are not particularly large, but billions of Hong Kong dollars are no problem at all.

What if my wife is deceived and buys too many British bonds? Let’s not talk about the loss. The main reason is that it is difficult to explain. After all, there are mainland China and the face of other rich people here.

Zhang Youran is not stupid, so she naturally knows what her husband wants to express. In addition, she has studied in the UK for many years, so she certainly knows what war bonds are. When the two met for the second time, they even discussed related topics. So they laughed.

Said: "Don't worry, it's not easy for you to make money; but you can't give the British people advantage in vain."

My husband's performance last night was quite satisfactory; a woman's sixth sense is very strong and she can tell that she has not eaten secretly in recent times.

As the richest man in the world, and because I am so young, there is no need to take the initiative to provoke women. Japan is a land of romance, and stealing is normal.

But there is no tidbits about her husband, which shows that she cherishes feathers very much and pays attention to influence, so as a wife, she cannot be too serious.

It doesn’t matter if I’m not in Xiangjiang. Since I’m back, I’ll definitely visit my father-in-law’s house. I haven’t been back for so long, so it’s the third wife who helps take care of my wife and children. It’s reasonable for a grandma to take care of her granddaughter, but she has no obligation; as a son-in-law, I can’t help but

sensible.

Bringing gifts and holding the child, he went directly to Zhang's house; Zhang Yuliang was very helpless towards this son-in-law!

He has such a large business in Xiangjiang, and his wife and children are here. It seems that it has nothing to do with him, which is really confusing. As a businessman, it is normal to travel on business. But like Bao Zixuan, it lasts for more than a year at a time. It is really rare. But the son-in-law is better than him.

He had so many successes that he had no experience to impart at all; many times he even needed his son-in-law to help him show the way, so it was hard to say much.

Even if you know that there are other women out there, you can only turn a blind eye; if you are untenable in this regard, how can you ask others.

Coming to visit him as soon as he returned to Xiangjiang showed that he still attached great importance to his father-in-law, which was considered to be enough face. Zhang Yuliang was very happy about this.

When you come to Zhang's house, you can't just visit. The women chat together and the children play together; as for the men, they naturally need to talk about some things.

Zhang Yuliang came to the study with his son-in-law, and of course the two young masters of the Zhang family. Time is not forgiving, and a lot of business has been handed over to the next generation to take care of. We should exercise in advance to prepare for taking over in the future.

This is very common in Hong Kong, and indeed everywhere in the world; family businesses still have to be passed down, and it is difficult to change ideas.

Bao Zixuan first said: "I have been away for a long time this time. I am grateful to my father-in-law for taking care of my family. My son-in-law is very grateful."

The rich man Bao's family lacks everything, and Zhang Youran needs company more; of course, he mainly relies on the third wife. But as the saying goes, there are thousands of people in a family, and there is only one person in charge, without Zhang Yuliang nodding; the third wife cannot always run away, and the big family is

Very strict.

Zhang Yuliang said with a smile: "We are a family, so don't be polite. Youran is my daughter, and Yingrong and Xinglan are my grandchildren. Isn't it the right thing to take care of them!"

"Men should put their career first and don't worry about family matters."

In fact, Zhang Yuliang had a deeper meaning. He clearly told Bao Zixuan that a man must have a career. When he called his two uncles together, he naturally hoped that Bao Zixuan could help him.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "My father-in-law should also have received the invitation, and he will go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow to attend the dinner."

After seeing Zhang Yuliang's nod, Bao Shaofu continued: "Britain has declared war on Argentina and must be prepared."

"Judging from the current strength of the United Kingdom, it is not that easy to expedition to the Falklands. If it cannot receive support from other external forces, the possibility of defeat is very high."

"The war is fought on comprehensive national strength, weapons and equipment, as well as money and food; as Xiangjiang is a world-class financial center, the British will not want to let it go."

"But now, no more than in 1982, many people will not sell the British. We must also prepare in advance and mobilize some funds to go to the UK; the Zhang family should expand its industrial structure."

"Companies with a century-old heritage in the world basically revolve around the financial industry, high-end manufacturing, and luxury goods industries. The Zhang family already owns a bank, so it just needs to develop step by step."

"As for high-end manufacturing, we can take advantage of the chaos and acquire some companies. After a while, I will go to Germany; if my father-in-law is interested, I can ask my second brother to come with me."

After several years of digestion, the Zhang family has basically stabilized; it is time to enter the next track, and the automobile industry is the best choice. And I also want to use this matter to silence the Zhang family; my wife has heard too many rumors, and it is not

Get what the richest man wants!
