Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth
Chapter 474: The Hongmen Banquet at the Governor's Mansion
In order to better seduce Hong Kong's wealthy people, Youde decided to hold a banquet at the Governor's Mansion. The theme this time was war and peace. Although this was the title of a book written by a Soviet writer, it was very appropriate at this moment.
All the wealthy people in Xiangjiang who received the Governor's banquet knew that this must be a Hongmen Banquet, a banquet held at any time of the year. But now Governor Youde is staring at you; you don't have to go even if you don't want to, after all, Xiangjiang is still a banquet at this time.
The British have the final say and face must always be given.
It was under such unwillingness and unwillingness that Xiangjiang's wealthy people came to the Governor's Mansion, and Bao Zixuan was certainly no exception.
It can be said that the wealthy people from Hong Kong came quite neatly this time. Basically, everyone in Hong Kong was invited. Even many people who don’t usually show up often had to come. Everyone knows that it is during the war between Britain and Argentina.
Just listen to what others say!
As soon as Bao Zixuan entered the Governor's Mansion, he was invited to the study by Governor Youde. Youde has now decided to assign Bao Zixuan a task that must be completed.
Youde: "Sheng Bao, this time London made an exception and issued a military license to Heiyun. For this reason, the domestic military industry companies are not very convinced. The royal family and the Prime Minister hope that Heiyun Group can donate generously during the war so that we can survive the current situation together."
difficulties.”
Bao Zixuan: "It is also an honor for me to be able to help your country during the difficult period of the British Empire. A small Argentina is by no means a rival of the British Empire. I am not worried at all about Britain's victory over Argentina. Moreover, there are many large companies and rich people in Hong Kong.
The best solution is for everyone to work together.”
Nowadays, no one wants to be the first person, and everyone is avoiding it. After all, it is something that offends people. What will other people do if you take the lead in buying war bonds? There is no difference between buying British war bonds and giving them money.
Youde: "Hong Kong is prosperous today because of the rule of the British Empire. As the richest man in Hong Kong, I hope that Bao Sheng will set an example for other Hong Kong businessmen. After all, everyone is looking at you, the richest man, and the British Empire will be grateful. At the same time, I hope that Bao Sheng will set an example for other Hong Kong businessmen."
The Queen is also paying attention to this matter. After the war is over, rewards will be given based on merit, and Bao Sheng's name will definitely appear on the list of recipients."
Hearing that Youde actually talked about being granted a title, this has always been detrimental before. After all, who doesn't want to have a noble title? Even if it is useless, it is good to just let others call it.
But he was destined to disappoint Youde, but Bao Zixuan knew that Hong Kong would definitely return in 1997. What would it mean to have a British noble title by then, and how would the Chinese world view this matter?
Bao Zixuan: "As for being granted a title, when the British Empire defeated Argentina, the soldiers should still get the respect they deserve. So I won't compete with them for the limelight; and it's easy to mislead the public, making people think that businessmen are more important than soldiers.
important; it’s not conducive to the education of the next generation.”
After hearing Bao Zixuan's answer, Youde really couldn't find any problem, but he felt that something was wrong. He didn't pay special attention to it, after all, he would never have thought to death that Bao Zixuan didn't want the title of nobility.
Youde: "We are really ashamed that Mr. Bao has such high integrity, but London has repeatedly mentioned your great contribution to the development of Hong Kong and your popularity in the entire world. Therefore, you deserve to be rewarded, and Her Majesty the Queen is
I mentioned this myself."
Bao Zixuan: "It can be done at any other time. I'm not in a hurry. When the war is won, I can't compete with the soldiers for credit."
Hearing the attitude of the young man in front of him, he didn't want to be too pushy. Everything must be reversed. I believe that as long as a person is in Xiangjiang, he cannot escape from his grasp. He must change his thinking when dealing with young people.
Yoder: "Then I'll listen to Bao Sheng, but this time the war bonds can report your name to London. The royal family and the Prime Minister are very grateful to you for choosing to believe in the British Empire at a critical moment."
After that, he also took out a description of the amount of war bonds that Bao Zixuan needed to buy. After seeing the numbers, our richest man Bao almost stood up and beat people. How come everyone is dead! He and the entire Heiyun Group have to share so much.
.
Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency, Governor, have you made a mistake? Why did Heiyun Group and I share so much?"
Youde asked Bao Zixuan to see that it was just for bargaining purposes. He had been dealing with Chinese businessmen for many years. He knew the principle of asking for high prices and then paying back the money.
Seeing such a high amount of apportionment, I knew that even if Bao Zixuan was rich, he would not agree. Then I could lower the price appropriately for him. This would not only give him face, but also make Bao Zixuan feel that he was relying on his ability to lower the price to satisfy him.
Vanity.
It can be said that it is a pity that Youde does not engage in business, but at this time, Bao Zixuan's status as the governor of Hong Kong prevents him from talking directly. If he is an ordinary businessman, you can ignore it. But now that the British Hong Kong government is involved, you can't lose any face.
Don’t give it!
Bao Zixuan: "As far as I know, the entire Hong Kong has issued war bonds worth 5 billion pounds. Now let Heiyun Group buy 2 billion at once. If so many war bonds are purchased, it will definitely have an impact on business operations."
In fact, this is the data given by Standard Chartered Bank. Although large transactions now go through the Bank of Japan, the money placed by Heiyun Group in Standard Chartered Bank is enough. Therefore, although Youde knows that it is a bit excessive, he also believes that as long as Bao, the richest man, wants to
Help, then nothing will be a problem.
Youde: "Bao Sheng, as the richest man in Hong Kong, this little money should be nothing to you!"
Bao Zixuan: "This is 2 billion pounds. After purchasing the bonds, it will definitely affect the capital operation of the company. I really want to help the British Empire, but I have to do what I can. There are so many companies in Hong Kong, and HSBC has always been billed as one of the companies in Hong Kong.
Finally, I can keep up with HSBC to the maximum extent, which means that whatever they buy, Black Cloud will buy."
"If the Heiyun family is asked to bear 40% of the entire circulation, I have no way to convince myself, and at the same time, I have no way to explain to the employees."
Bao Zixuan knew that he had to put a cushion on his back now, otherwise he really didn't know what would happen.
Youde: "How can HSBC's strength be compared with that of Heiyun? They may have been the largest company in Hong Kong before. But since they were surpassed by Heiyun three years ago, they have been in the second place. In recent years, HSBC and Heiyun have
The gap is getting more and more obvious.”
Bao Zixuan: "Even so, Hei Yun shouldn't have to share so much!"
When Youde heard that Bao Zixuan felt that it was too much, it would be easy to handle. So he said: "As the number one enterprise in Hong Kong and one of the most famous enterprises in the world, Bao Sheng thinks the amount of money that Heiyun Group should buy is appropriate."
Bao Zixuan: "Half of it!"
Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, Youde wanted to agree immediately, but that would be too obvious, so he said: "This amount is based on the tax amount and profitability. It is not easy to reduce it so much all at once."
Although Heiyun Group is not a listed company, as a company, it still has to pay taxes. Therefore, as the governor, it is not surprising that Youde knows Heiyun's financial situation. After all, it is ranked first every time, and it is impossible to remember it or not.
Bao Zixuan: "Even if we have money, we have earned it through hard work, and even if we look at making money, the expenses are not small. Subsequent product upgrades and research and development require huge financial support. This is how technology companies do not advance or retreat, and they do not stay the same.
Just say it."
"Many scientific research projects require a long process, and no results can be seen in a short period of time. This requires long-term financial support, so it seems that a lot of money is made, but some money is not touched at all."
Youde: "That is indeed a bit small. Heiyun Group purchased 1 billion pounds of war bonds. Heiyun Group has more than 500,000 employees in Hong Kong. It should not be a big problem for them to purchase 200 million pounds of war bonds!"
Bao Zixuan: "I can grit my teeth and promise you the quantity purchased by Heiyun Group, but I can't say much about the group's employees. After all, there are many people from other countries in it; we can't let Argentinian employees buy bonds and hit themselves!"
When Bao Zixuan said this, Youde didn't say anything. After all, the purchase of so many war bonds by Bao Zixuan alone had exceeded his expectations. As for the employees, just let it be! After all, the big head has been taken care of, and the matter is more than half successful.
After Bao Zixuan left the study, Youde showed a victorious smile. It is better to negotiate with young people easily. If you are like Shen Bi and others, they will definitely give you a lot of reasons, then cry for poverty, and finally have to pay.
It was more painful than killing them.
