Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Of course Zheng Yutong didn't know what Huo Yingdong was thinking, but even if he knew it, he wasn't very optimistic about it. After all, his daughter was very sad because of this incident, and it made people feel distressed to see it. His daughter was not unable to get married, and it was impossible for her to marry a man.

I have wronged myself too much.

Dong Haoyun may have seen something of Huo Yingdong's meaning, and said with a smile: "What Huo Sheng said makes sense. Among these rich and powerful daughters, I also like your Jia Jia the most."

Zheng Yutong: "You two are not like matchmakers. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Before, I also felt that Bao Zixuan was a good young man, but you also saw what happened last time. Who knows what he has done abroad these years?

What did you do!”

Shark Dantong had just finished speaking, and Huo Yingdong wanted to defend Bao Zixuan. Governor MacLehose had already come to the hall with his wife. When they saw that the protagonist had arrived, no one could say anything.

Today, MacLehose can be said to be very well-dressed. He wore the same clothes he wore when the Queen of England awarded him a medal. He also hung several medals on his chest to let people see his past achievements. His wife also appeared in fine clothes.

, a long skirt worn by a medieval aristocratic woman complements it perfectly.

Seeing that many tycoons from Hong Kong came to the scene, he felt very happy. The only drawback was the absence of Bao Zixuan, which was a pity!

MacLehose stood on the stage and said: "With respect, ladies and gentlemen. Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for coming to the Government House to celebrate Christmas together. This may be the last Christmas I spend with you as the Governor-General.

"

"My term will end next year, and I will leave Hong Kong by then. There may be new jobs and new challenges. However, during the 10 years I have served as Governor, I have regarded Hong Kong as my second hometown.

"

"The people here are very hard-working and the business atmosphere is strong. I can't imagine what achievements we can achieve in the future, but in my heart I just hope that Xiangjiang will become better."

"I would like to thank you all for your support and love over the past 10 years. Being able to become the longest-serving governor-general so far is inseparable from your strong support. I would like to thank you all again."

After speaking, he bowed to everyone in the audience, and the people below also remembered the warm applause, which was regarded as recognition of MacLehose.

MacLehose witnessed the economic take-off of Hong Kong. During his tenure, the economic growth was unprecedentedly strong since the opening of the port. With his assistance, Hong Kong was gradually transformed from being dominated by light industry to focusing on the electronics industry, finance and commerce.

, became one of the "Four Asian Tigers"

, laying an important foundation for Hong Kong's prosperity and stability and its future development as an international financial center in Asia. In addition, the "active non-interventionism" proposed by Financial Secretary Sir Charles Xia Dingji during MacLehose's tenure has also become the financial management philosophy of the Hong Kong government, as well as MacLehose's

Lehigh's reliance on governance.

However, there are also criticisms from the outside world that MacLehose has never been able to fully solve core problems such as insufficient housing, insufficient university places, uneven education quality, wealth inequality and traffic congestion. Many public opinions also believe that he failed to quickly respond to the problem during his term of office.

There have been successive social movements; as for the issue of handling illegal immigrants from mainland China and Vietnamese refugees coming to Hong Kong, it has also caused a lot of controversy.

During his tenure of more than 10 years, he successively established the Independent Commission Against Corruption, launched the "Home Ownership" program to help poor families solve their housing problems, and the 9-year free education program to popularize primary and secondary education, etc., which have greatly contributed to the economic development and construction of Hong Kong.

It is still very useful. It can be said that this is a very accomplished governor of Xiangjiang, at least much better than other governors.

After speaking, MacLehose began to communicate with the people below. This time his main target was the Chinese business community. After all, no British businessman wanted Hong Kong to return.

In fact, MacLehose was invited to visit mainland China in 1979, becoming the first post-war Hong Kong governor to officially visit China. During his visit to China, he met with senior officials in Kyoto, during which he learned that the senior officials in Kyoto were determined to take back Hong Kong by 1997 or before.

As a result, this meeting kicked off the subsequent negotiations on the future of Hong Kong. After returning to Hong Kong, MacLehose was worried about causing panic and did not mention the Chinese side's insistence on taking back Hong Kong.

Now we can only hope that Xiangjiang merchants can fight against China. After all, the British coming forward is an act of war. China will never be afraid of the British threat. If so, it will have no status in the international community in the future.

MacLehose has recently taken great care of the Hong Kong Chinese businessmen who have applied for immigration, but these people are still a minority after all. Their main influence is very limited, and they are not top business tycoons.

This time, we are taking advantage of this opportunity to continue to win over Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong. It would be better if they can come forward to fight against China. If they dare not or are unwilling to apply for immigration, it is not bad. At least it will weaken China and strengthen the British economy.

Moreover, he had chosen his target before the banquet started, among which Zheng Yutong was a good candidate. Chow Tai Fook started his business in gold jewelry and relied on the real estate industry to become stronger.

However, gold and silver are controlled substances in mainland China, and the private sector has not yet been fully liberalized. No matter how brave Zheng Yutong is, he does not dare to invest in the gold and silver business. Diamonds and jade can only be produced in places controlled by Britain and the United States. This is

He needed to use the power of the British, so he decided to win over Zheng Yutong.

Seeing the Governor approaching him, Shark Dantong had to restrain himself no matter how courageous he was. Although MacLehose would leave Hong Kong next year, he still had to give him the respect he deserved, otherwise he would say a few words to you when handing over the work.

, what kind of good impression can the new governor have on you?

Zheng Yutong said to MacLehose: "Thank you, the Governor, for inviting me to attend the Christmas charity dinner. Hong Kong is getting better and better under your governance."

Although I knew that what Zheng Yutong said was polite, it still made MacLehose happy. At least Zheng Yutong did not reject him very much. This was a sensitive period, and many people were worried that interacting with MacLehose too much would lead to misunderstandings.

After all, it is said that everyone is Chinese, and Hong Kong is about to face handover negotiations, and no one wants to cause trouble.

MacLehose: "The prosperity of Xiangjiang is due to good policies. I am just an executor. Zheng Sheng has considered whether the market economy can continue to be implemented after Xiangjiang returns to the mainland; the mainland is a planned economy at this time. By that time

There is no need for so much gold and silver jewelry. Precious metals there are controlled substances, and Chow Tai Fook’s business will not be so easy.”

This sentence is a bit heartbreaking. It clearly tells you that if Xiangjiang really returns to Chow Tai Fook's business, it will be difficult to continue operating. Moreover, the British policy is conducive to the development of you Xiangjiang businessmen. After Huaxia Continent takes over, you can still be like now.

It can be said that it is difficult to make money easily.

He knew that the governor would not come to chat with him for no reason. After all, his reputation was not that great. Now that Wang Zha was coming, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

What MacLehose said is not unreasonable. Chow Tai Fook is different from other companies. It must have the support of the state, otherwise no one would dare to buy you gold. I really don’t know how to implement the mainland’s policies. After all, there has been no export in these years.

What precious metal?

Zheng Yutong: "What your Excellency the Governor said makes sense. Can you give me a clear path?"

Seeing that the initial effect had been achieved, MacLehose smiled and said: "Now is the time for you Xiangjiang businessmen to come forward. I hope you can unite as one to protect the interests of your respective families."

"In addition, we need to make more preparations. The futures market in London, UK, has great potential for Chow Tai Fook. Both futures and spot can meet the processing and supply of jewelry. I hope you can give it some thought."

Seeing that the goal had been initially achieved, MacLehose walked towards the next goal. Today he had to defeat each one, after all, there was not much time left for him.

After seeing Zheng Yutong think again and knowing that his words have had an effect, that's fine. If we make an appointment before leaving, Zheng Yutong will probably have the idea of ​​​​immigrating to the UK.

Of course, MacLehose knew that these Hong Kong tycoons had their own ideas for getting their business to such an extent. It could be said that they were all among the best, the best among the best. He might have to pay a high price to convince the other party, but this price

He was willing to bear it, and so was the British Empire.

After the end of World War II, Britain has lost too many overseas territories. It seems that Hong Kong cannot be saved. The only thing that can be done now is to make a last ditch effort. If it does not succeed, the vitality of Hong Kong will be greatly damaged. If I can't get it, then I will destroy it.

Lost. MacLehose is implementing the plan step by step. As a British man, he has no choice.
