The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

Ghost, a new creature.

At least, that was true for people in the nineties.

After the plane stopped, more than a dozen Waiguoren got off the plane.

Xiao Jialiang knew that this must be the British inspection team.

Walking at the front of the inspection group was a British man in his fifties.

Original British.

He has a hooked nose, blue eyes, yellow hair, and a big beard.

Judging from the way he was surrounded by people, he should be the top person in charge of the inspection team.

Xiao Jialiang showed his most sincere smile and immediately went up with his work team.

He opened his mouth and introduced himself.

"Hello, I am Xiao Jialiang, secretary of Ludao City, and you must be Mr. Robert Baden-Powell from Jushi Capital."

"Hello, i'm xiao jialiang, secretary of the ludao municipal mittee. You're mr. robert bedenburg."

Xiao Jialiang didn't speak English, so the translator translated Xiao Jialiang's words almost simultaneously.

Then…

Xiao Jialiang was dumbfounded.

"Hello, Secretary Xiao, I am Robert Baden-Powell. Just call me Robert."

Chinese.

Authentic Chinese Mandarin.

There is no blunt emphasis, no ambiguity in spelling, and there is not even any mistake in the grammatical order.

Even Xiao Jialiang's Mandarin is not up to this gringo's standard.

Xiao Jialiang stayed for a moment.

Isn't this Waiguoren? How come the Mandarin is more standard than what he speaks.

Is Chinese now the world language?

The English translator looked embarrassed.

The Ludao City work team was also confused.

Isn’t this British? How come they speak Mandarin so well that they all feel ashamed?

Could it be a liar?

In the past two years, a huge scandal broke out in Shanxi.

Someone pretended to be a wealthy Singaporean businessman to invest, and led a so-called investment group to defraud the city government of tens of millions, and even deceived the city government into blowing up newly built office buildings.

Others don't know this kind of thing, but no one knows it internally.

But Xiao Jialiang was not an ordinary person after all. He reacted after being stunned for a moment.

He realized he had been rude.

He was a guest from afar, so he didn't reach out, but Robert had already extended his hand.

This is unbecoming of a great country.

Xiao Jialiang quickly reached out and took Robert Baden-Powell's extended hand.

He explained with a smile.

"Mr. Robert's Chinese language is so surprising. Xiao is rude, please don't be offended."

Sorry?

Robert was just short of crying.

If this is still rude, the person who calls him Carrot Head every day should not be beaten to death.

There are many people named Robert Baden-Powell among the British.

Just like Li Shuai of China, he only has eight thousand if not tens of thousands.

But there is probably only one person in the world who can be called Robert Baden-Powell and can speak Chinese to such a standard.

Standard Chartered Bank, Head of Shanghai Branch.

To be precise, he should be the former head of Standard Chartered Bank’s Shanghai branch.

Being able to work in a place like Standard Chartered.

Robert's ability is naturally not bad. As the person in charge of a bank, he must be proficient in all kinds of financial knowledge.

Simply put, Robert is a talent.

But if Robert was thrown into a place like China, he would definitely have a bad time in Standard Chartered.

In the eyes of gringos, China can basically be regarded as an uncivilized and bitter cold land.

No one would think of working in a place like this if they could.

Robert doesn't want to stay in China either.

But he had no choice. If he didn't stay in China, he would lose his job.

To a pure Englishman, this is a very serious matter.

If he returned to the UK, he would not be able to find a job with a higher salary than Standard Chartered.

In this situation.

If someone offers a higher salary and agrees to help Robert leave China for the UK.

He couldn't have had a second choice.

With an annual salary of 200,000 US dollars, he will work in Hong Kong.

After Zhao Jiangchuan gave these two conditions, Robert resigned from Standard Chartered without hesitation.

Robert almost dreamed of leaving China.

How could Robert let go of such a good opportunity?

Going to Hong Kong, which is still a British place after all, is not a hundred times better than being in a bitter and cold place like China.

Therefore, Robert changed his banner and was poached by Zhao Jiangchuan from Jushi Capital.

For Zhao Jiangchuan.

Robert is a real talent.

Proficient in English and Chinese, majoring in finance.

It is perfect for such a person to be responsible for the preliminary work of establishing Jushi Capital.

As a British person, whether in Hong Kong or on the mainland, many things are much easier for Robert to handle than for Chinese people.

This is ironic.

But very realistic.

Being a gringo always works so well.

This time, Zhao Jiangchuan specially arranged for Robert to come over in order to maximize the benefits.

Otherwise, with his Chinese appearance and identity, he would not be able to get the maximum preferential policies.

But foreign investment is different.

Foreign monks like to chant sutras, and as long as foreign capital intervenes, they can get the final bottom line of the Ludao government.

Under the leadership of Xiao Jialiang, the convoy of inspection groups and working groups drove away in a mighty manner.

For inspection, we must inspect the environment of Ludao.

Starting from the island, we went to Jimei, to Haicang, then to Tongan, and finally circled back to the island.

This detour made Robert feel dizzy, and also made him full of doubts.

He didn't understand why the Chinese only took him around the city.

In some rural areas, if he wanted to go down and have a look, he would be blocked in every possible way.

Even though Robert has been in China for many years, he still cannot understand the thinking of the Chinese people.

But it doesn’t matter.

For Robert, this time he was just going through the motions.

So even though Robert was full of doubts, he was still smiling.

"Mr. Robert, I wonder if you are satisfied with the investment environment in our Ludao Island."

"very satisfied."

"I don't know where you are satisfied?"

Which aspect are you satisfied with.

Oh, God.

I don't know what to be satisfied with.

Robert was helpless.

He could only speak vaguely.

"We are all satisfied."

Satisfied, very satisfied, which made Ludao's working team feel reassured.

As long as you are satisfied, the investment funds may be put in place.

This is all their fault.

The inspection took three full days, and these three days were very painful for Robert.

A blissful ordeal.

In other words, Robert wanted to cry.

How many years.

He has not enjoyed the treatment of a nobleman for many years.

Since the decline of his family's business, he has never enjoyed this feeling of being respected again.

He was escorted all the way, and everyone smiled humbly when they saw him.

The best food, the best living environment.

There are also people who clear the way.

If this were in England, even the earl would not be able to enjoy such high treatment.

Oh, praise God.

No, oh, like **oss.

Without the boss, he would never be able to enjoy this kind of luxury again in his life.

That kind of nobility that was respected by others made Robert finally feel that he was a true noble.

The only regret for Robert was that at night, his aristocratic pride would be completely shattered.

night.

Under the arrangement of the Ludao working group, Robert stayed at the most upscale hotel in Ludao.

Elegant environment, comfortable big bed.

Robert was satisfied.

But he didn't dare to show it on his face.

In front of him, there was a person sitting.

A man who could only stand respectfully.

As a British person, someone who grew up in a capitalist country.

Robert knows that money is everything and money can give a person a future.

So Zhao Jiangchuan is his God.

inside the room.

Zhao Jiangchuan was leaning comfortably on the sofa, smoking a cigar he brought back from Hong Kong.

"Shh..."

After gently blowing out a smoke ring, he spoke.

"Carrot head. It's time for you to lose weight. Look at you, you're almost like a ball."

As a Hua Guotong, Robert knew the meaning of this sentence very well.

It made him feel.

He is a relative of Cinderella in the fairy tale.

Cinderella will return to her original form during the day, but he will lose his aristocratic pride at night.

However, this honorary knight did not dare to be dissatisfied at all.

When he established the Jushi Capital branch in Hong Kong, he already recognized the reality.

Five hundred million dollars.

It was enough to make him let go of any noble pride.

"Boss, there will be negotiations tomorrow. How should I deal with it?"

"Just do what I said before."

"But will they agree to such a harsh request?"

"Harsh? No no no, you won't understand. This is kindness, this is fraternity."

"Oh, praise kindness and charity, but what if they don't agree?"

"Don't agree? Don't worry, they will definitely agree."

“….”

After Zhao Jiangchuan left.

Robert thought to himself.

kindness?

Fraternity?

Damn kindness and charity, what a black-hearted capitalist.
