I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 125 Public Opinion and Relationships!

When Wu Guangyao heard Zhao Bing's name, he immediately understood what was so special about this lawyer!

Zhao Bing is a veteran celebrity. He joined the League at the age of 13. At the age of 18, he attempted to assassinate Zaifeng, the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

Then he came to Hong Kong Island to study, and then went to the United States to study, and finally obtained the barrister's qualification in England.

After returning to the mainland, he served as the president of the local courts in various places and the president of the Jingchuan Provincial High Court. He has the reputation of "the reincarnation of Bao Gong".

He also held many important positions in the government of the Republic of China until he came to Hong Kong Island in August this year and became a practicing barrister.

Wu Guangyao had read newspaper news about him at the time, but he did not expect to become an advisor to the Governor of Hong Kong so soon.

"That's right. I'm not afraid that Wheelock will overwhelm you if you find this lawyer. Besides, we're justified in the first place."

He Yuanzhang continued: "In addition to preparing to respond to the lawsuit, I also plan to use public opinion to keep the court fair!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Guangyao asked curiously, "How do you plan to use public opinion?"

"Compared to the giant Wheelock \u0026 Co., Global Shipping can only be regarded as a toddler. What's more, they are still a British company with obvious advantages. Because of this, a weak child is bullied by an adult , are more likely to receive sympathy and support from the public!"

"So I plan to contact several Chinese newspapers and immediately disclose this matter, and even publish part of the contract!"

"Moreover, Hong Kong Island is currently at a time when people's hearts are scattered. The people of Hong Kong Island are worried about the future of Hong Kong Island. If the court favors Wheelock at this time, it will undoubtedly make the people of Hong Kong Island even more uneasy!"

"So at this time, judges may not necessarily dare to risk the world's disgrace and favor British capital!"

"Taking a step back, even if the court disregards public anger and favors Wheelock \u0026 Co., we can still benefit from it, gain a good reputation, and increase the popularity of global shipping!"

After hearing what He Yuanzhang said, Wu Guangyao slapped his hands and said, "Okay! What I care about is not the money, but the tone! Why should foreigners be treated specially? Why are we Chinese merchants in China's territory? Are you afraid of these foreigners?"

Wu Guangyao went on to say: "I will write an article, you can pick it up after 2 o'clock, and then go to my "Oriental Daily" first, and let them publish it in the next issue, and publish it in a prominent place. There are other Send all the Chinese-funded newspapers and let them publish, I believe they will not embarrass you!"

"Yes,

Then I will prepare first! "

As a time traveler, I naturally know how to win the sympathy of others, so the title of the article is "Contract ≠ Law?" ".

Throughout the article, Wu Guangyao did not mention British capital and Chinese capital. He felt that doing so would make the Hong Kong government hate it, after all, it caused too much social effect.

After all, everyone understands the conflicts and disputes between Zhiming Far Eastern Shipping and Global Shipping, so why add to the snake!

Wu Guangyao believed that the public opinion alone caused Far Eastern Shipping to fail.

What is the current environment? The mainland has been established, Guangdong Province is about to be liberated, and the Hong Kong government is mobilizing troops to condemn generals. No one knows the future of Hong Kong Island!

The court will never take sides at this time, unless the Hong Kong government wants internal and external troubles!

In order to ensure the safety of this matter, Wu Guangyao also went to HSBC Bank and found Sandas.

"Sangdas, do you think we have to tolerate our global shipping?" Wu Guangyao said with a smile, and he was also examining the support of HSBC for himself.

"Don't worry, they will have no chance of winning this lawsuit! Don't worry, HSBC is firmly on the side of Global Shipping!" Sandas swore!

In fact, without HSBC, Wu Guangyao still believes that he has no problem.

It's just that, as a partner, Wu Guangyao just wants to drag HSBC into this messy water, so that outsiders can see that he also has a backer.

 …

The next day, this incident was full of excitement on Hong Kong Island, and the momentary enthusiasm almost caught up with the news on the other side.

"This Wheelock doesn't take the contract too seriously! If business is like this, how can we do it?" A businessman complained to his companion, looking at the newspaper in his hand.

"What makes you so excited? Wheelock? That's an old British foreign company!" The companion asked curiously.

"Look at this news, can you not be excited?" The businessman handed the newspaper to his companion.

The companion took the newspaper and read it curiously, but the more he read it, the angrier he became!

"Excessive! Contracts have legal effects. This is known all over the world. I didn't expect Wheelock to ask the villain to sue first!"

"That's right, I think Wheelock is bullying our Chinese-funded enterprises by relying on British capital. I want to see who wins and who loses in this lawsuit!"

For a while, Chinese businessmen on Hong Kong Island complained about global shipping.

Yinuo obviously suffered from not being able to speak Chinese. The public opinion outside was so strong that he actually handed in the indictment.

That night, when Yinuo found out about this, his heart was overwhelmed and he almost fainted!

In fact, Eno also hopes that the court will be a little more partial in this matter, and let Global Shipping subsidize some of Far East Shipping.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to deter Chinese businessmen, otherwise they think Wheelock Group is easy to bully!

It's just that they didn't expect that Global Shipping would take the first step and directly grasp the public opinion on Hong Kong Island.

At this time, Eno knew that the Far East Shipping Company would not take this case into consideration, and now the English judge would not be able to take sides.

Xie Te, this Chinese businessman is too difficult!

Eno now wonders if the Chinese businessman set up such a big trap because he was angry that his boss despised him.

In this way, this Chinese businessman is too scary to predict that the British pound will depreciate!

Eno originally wanted to withdraw the lawsuit the next day to save embarrassment, but George Madden, who was far away in London, insisted on suing Global Shipping, and was about to get up and go to Hong Kong Island immediately to ask Eno to extend the court session and let the public opinion cool down. It just so happened that I also came to visit the relationship with the Hong Kong government.

Yinuo thought, that's right, as long as he delays the time for the trial, and waits for the public opinion to drop, the boss will go to make connections, and the lawsuit may be won.

At least it has to be a tie, and the loss is shared equally by both parties, so that everyone will have face!

Will Yinuo's wishful thinking come true?

When the court notified that the court session would be held in 10 days, Wu Guangyao probably guessed in his heart that there was something tricky about it!

This is just a simple lawsuit, there is no need to wait ten days.

Could it be that George Madden is coming to Hong Kong Island?

The four major foreign firms have a close relationship with the Hong Kong government. The arrival of George Madden may change the lawsuit!

 …

Wu Guangyao sat in the waiting room of the chief secretary of Berkadao, slandering in his heart, this chief secretary is too ostentatious, I have been waiting for an hour.

Still not strong enough!

Give yourself another 5 years, and don't wait so long to see the Governor of Hong Kong!

For example, Ho Tung, Chow Sin-nian and others who have the most rights among the Chinese at the moment may all reach the pinnacle of the rights of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island!

Wu Guangyao was complaining, but the assistant to the director finally came to Wu Guangyao and said that the director was free and he could go in!

"What do you want from me?" The director asked deliberately, pretending not to know.

The person in front of me has recently caused a lot of trouble in Hong Kong Island, so I have no reason not to know.

However, this person is really too bold. Although the confrontation between British capital and Chinese capital was not mentioned in the newspaper, people have this awareness.

This is something the Hong Kong government doesn't want to see, and it's obviously a little bit dissatisfied with this person!

"Let me report on my work. The production capacity of my PG zipper is not keeping up with the trend. So I plan to open another branch factory in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong Island. The scale will need about 120 acres of land!"

Wu Guangyao didn't just talk about it. Wu Guangyao planned to develop this new factory slowly, and it would be ready for use in two or three years.

At this time, Tsuen Wan was still an undeveloped location. According to history, it was not until 1950 that the capital and technology from the Mainland developed various manufacturing industries in Tsuen Wan.

It has developed into a large-scale new town in the 1960s!

The Chief Secretary was taken aback for a moment, isn't this here for business?

"Tsuen Wan is currently an undeveloped place, aren't you afraid of trouble?"

"It is precisely because there is no development that I invested a lot of money to build a factory there to share the worries of the Hong Kong government!"

"Oh? You really have a heart. Aren't you afraid that the mainland government will take back Hong Kong Island and make your investment go to waste?"

Old fox, this is forcing yourself to express your opinion, or observe your own side!

There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing, and you can't change history!

"Don't be afraid, the mainland government will not take back Hong Kong Island!"

When the chief secretary heard that Wu Guangyao was so determined, he immediately became interested. This young man is a visionary.

From his industrial management, we know that he is by no means an ordinary Chinese businessman!

"Tell me your reasons!" The Chief Secretary concluded that since Wu Guangyao said this so resolutely, he would definitely not be aimless.

"It's all because of the geographical location of Hong Kong Island! As China's current window to understand the West, Hong Kong Island is of great significance. You must know that after the establishment of China, it will inevitably be blocked and surrounded by capitalist countries. If you take back Hong Kong at this time Island, that is to completely isolate itself from the world. In the future, it will be difficult for Huaxia to understand the development of Western countries, and it will be difficult to introduce Western talents and technologies through Hong Kong Island. Rather than taking back Hong Kong Island and Macau, it is better It is also beneficial to use it as a window of communication under the confrontation between the two poles of the Cold War."

As soon as Wu Guangyao finished speaking, the Chief Secretary couldn't help standing up, and said a little excitedly: "What you said is the truth?"

Wu Guangyao thought to himself, you really don't have the bearing of a party member!

"Everything is just my analysis, and the director can only be used as a reference!"

The director obviously knew that he had lost his composure, but the young man's analysis made sense.

Talk to the governor later, so that the governor can relax a little while preparing for the war.

"I basically agree with the Tsuen Wan matter. You can write a detailed plan later and hand it over to the Chief Secretary!"

Wu Guangyao quickly expressed his thanks and prepared to leave!

"The matter between you and Wheelock, don't make too much noise, the Hong Kong government and the court will maintain the fairness of the law!"

"I understand, I have always believed that the Hong Kong government and the court will enforce the law fairly, so I am not worried!"

Little fox, the chief secretary couldn't help thinking!

To say that this person came this time is by no means a simple application for industrial land, but the tone of visiting the Hong Kong government is true!

However, at a young age, I can bear it!
