Chapter 1799 The picture shows the poor dagger 3

At the critical moment, the British are reliable, and everything else is in vain; their attitude speaks for itself. Through Shen Bi's rhetoric, Wei Yixin has absolute confidence in persuading the other party! With such a high profile, he finally found out that it was just words; and he met in the country again. In times of 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 found that it was not the case; the plan has been made, but it can 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 could not 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 would definitely come out to take the blame afterwards; as the governor of Xiangjiang, he could not escape his involvement at all.

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; we will do our 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. 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. What does HSBC want to do? We have no relationship with them and we are not qualified to manage them at all.

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 these 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 difficult 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 is time to get real and show real money. Shen Bi is really in a dilemma.

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

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 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; at this moment, there is no other choice, and 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."

Hearing this, everyone felt incredible. Everyone knew very well what kind of strength each other had. If it were Bao Zixuan, let alone 500 million pounds, it would be 5 billion or even 50 billion. It would feel normal.

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

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

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 all because of the support of the United Kingdom. Otherwise, who will take care of them wherever resources can be obtained.

Shen Bi is just a professional manager, so it's normal not to feel bad about spending money; but they need to take out the money from their own pockets, so naturally they won't do it willingly. At this moment, Shen Daban has already made a gesture, and 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. They immediately started discussing, mainly to discuss 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 connection with the United Kingdom. Of course, because of his Jewish identity, he still gets 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 invest in Japan, which made the Kadoorie family make a lot of money. However, the Kadoorie family did not dare to take too many risks in an unfamiliar market; 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 at this moment, people in Xiangjiang have identified the Kadoorie family as being part of the Bao Zixuan 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 next time."

When Bao Zixuan first came over, there were too many people looking for him to chat; Michael Kadoorie didn't come forward. Seeing that there were no people at the moment, he naturally wanted to have a good exchange.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't tell me, 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 and Michael Kadoorie very well. In this way, he has definitely discovered a new business opportunity; it seems that he is not young, otherwise he would not take it so seriously.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "I will arrange the time when I get back. Just let me know 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 made Bao Qingfu very satisfied. A gang of three heroes still needs to recruit more allies; it 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 for a moment. What kind of song was Shen Bi doing? Didn't it make Bao Zixuan look bad?

He just said that he would buy 250 million pounds of government bonds, and HSBC doubled the amount. It would make sense if HSBC was stronger than Heiyun Group. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no comparability between HSBC and Heiyun Group.

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

How do you say that Hong Kong is ruled by the British? And at the banquet at the Governor's Mansion. Shen Bi's behavior clearly shows that at the critical moment, 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 the British were defeated, it would not have much to do with him. He was not British in the first place, and he did not take any advantage because of his status. Whether the British Empire was dead or alive, strong or not, was not that important.

The income from national bonds is not as high as the interest rate on bank loans; the Kadoorie family does not like it 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 Iraqis, domestic investment is essential.

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

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's purchase of 250 million pounds allowed Michael Kadoorie to see an opportunity; just reduce it proportionately. 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, and the Malvinas Islands not only involve Argentina, but also the face of the entire Latin America."

No one would doubt the relationship between Bao Zixuan and 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 happens, the Argentines will not be grateful to them; at the same time, it will become a national joke.

Even if the land is lost, even if it is not the British mainland, it is only fought for by the ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed blood. Unfilial descendants give it up easily, and no one dares to bear the historical infamy!

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

Although the defeat of Britain has little to do with the Kadoorie family, many things must be prepared in advance. The family still has some investments in the UK; if they want to take advantage of Hong Kong, they naturally have to perform 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 will be a good choice.

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

Britain 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 has not attacked the British mainland, so there is no reason to use nuclear weapons against others.

A protracted war between the two sides would be very detrimental to a country with a weak industrial base; but this time it is very different. The United Kingdom 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 withstand it.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "You still see clearly and have been arrogant for hundreds of years; you should let them 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 he hears it, he will not do anything to the Kadoorie family; it is the most uneconomical thing to do to offend others with his words. As long as he is a smart person, he 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 finishing speaking, the two of them smiled knowingly.

Bao Zixuan is because after seeing Shen Bi's performance, other British businessmen will never dare to be clever. Even if it is not more treasury bonds than HSBC purchased, it will not be too little; they will definitely try their best.

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

The strength becomes stronger and the confidence is more abundant; naturally, they dare to fight with the Argentines. The probability of the two sides falling into endless fighting will be greater. Whether the war is won or not, it will be very detrimental to the United Kingdom. The national power is declining and the economy is in recession; it is already possible.

Imagine it!

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!
