Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

When night falls, the wonderful nightlife officially begins. Whether it is social workers or white-collar workers who are exhausted after working all day, they all come out to relax at this time.

However, the Governor's House, located on Albert Road in the middle of the Central Ring of Hong Kong Island, fell into a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

However, it is located in the Hong Kong Governor's House, and there are still some lights on.

The Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, sat face to face with Lu Dingtang, the current Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner. MacLehose listened quietly and nodded slightly from time to time, while Lu Dingtang spoke in detail.

Listening to the name, you will think that Lu Dingtang is Chinese, but in fact he is British. Taking a Chinese name is also for the convenience of work management. After all, most of the entire Xiangjiang is Chinese, and a Chinese name can often eliminate some distance. .

Lu Dingtang is the leader of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. His English name is Norman John Ludington. He was originally an official member of the Legislative Council. On the 4th of this month, he was just transferred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. His resume has only been more than 20 days.

Although he has only just taken office, Lu Dingtang is the confidant of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

After all, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has a very special status in the Hong Kong government. It is a powerful weapon in the hands of the Hong Kong governor. Unlike other departments such as the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary, the Independent Commission Against Corruption does not need to be appointed by London, but is completely appointed by the Governor and directly under the jurisdiction of Hong Kong. No one in any other agency has the right to interfere in the work of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

At this time, what Lu Dingtang reported to MacLehose was nothing else but the actions of the Jardine Consortium against Jiuding companies this morning.

After all, as a department under the Hong Kong Governor who oversees the entire government, within one day today, government departments such as the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Department of Justice, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission and other government departments have been looking for trouble with Jiuding-related enterprises one after another. Although they are in the name of the public, in fact But it is the fact that he is helping the Jardine Consortium.

A number of government departments helped the Jardine Consortium, but they were targeting the Xinjin Huazi Consortium. This seriously violated the functions of government departments and was suspected of being a private service. Lu Dingtang had to pay attention.

And now the struggle between the Jardine Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium has been raging in Xiangjiang, and the situation is very tense. At this time, many government departments have intervened to help the Jardine Consortium, and the Jiuding Consortium is a media overlord who deeply manipulates the essence of public opinion. If you are not careful, the Hong Kong government will cause a riot and ruin your reputation. As MacLehose's confidant, Lu Dingtang naturally has to always think about MacLehose.

No, after collecting all the changes of government departments today, Lu Dingtang came to the Hong Kong Governor's Office overnight to report the situation to MacLehose and listen to his instructions.

After Lu Dingtang finished speaking,

He sat quietly and looked at MacLehose who was in deep thought.

After listening to Lu Dingtang's report, MacLehose's face remained unchanged, and he kept sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

Although he is the Governor of Hong Kong and has the right to manage the entire government, after all, the top leaders of many important departments are appointed by London, and each department also has a lot of autonomy. It is not necessary to report to him first. action.

Therefore, MacLehose didn't know about the changes in so many departments at first, that is, he heard some news in the afternoon. Now after listening to Lu Dingtang's report, he is very unhappy. He is dissatisfied with the actions of these departments. At the same time, he is also dissatisfied with the actions of the Jardine Consortium.

The Jardine Consortium did not notify him in advance, but directly bypassed him and let officials in several departments serve them.

Of course, if the Jardine Consortium found him, MacLehose would not agree to help them find Xia Yu's trouble

First of all, he is the Governor of Hong Kong, and the most important thing is to manage Hong Kong well. This requires him to maintain a neutral position, neither favoring the British side nor the Chinese side.

Otherwise, if he prefers British capital, it will cause dissatisfaction among the Chinese. If it is like decades ago, if Chinese capital is still weak and young, there is no need to worry about it. The problem is now that Chinese capital has grown up, what can we do? The negative impact produced is very large, which is very detrimental to his governance of Hong Kong.

Secondly, due to his political stance, MacLehose would not help the Jardine Consortium. After all, he and the Keswick family who are in charge of the Jardine Consortium are not the same.

The parties supported by the Jardine Consortium are different from those of MacLehose. They are completely competitive or even hostile. Although the Hong Kong government needs to rely on them to govern Hong Kong because of the energy of the Jardine Consortium, it is also a business matter. , and the governance of Xiangjiang is also inseparable from the powerful Chinese consortium.

So for how they fight, MacLehose will not care, and it is not convenient to stand in line to intervene.

After a long time, MacLehose said solemnly: "You just took over the ICAC from Ji Da, and the internal affairs have not been sorted out yet. Speed ​​up."

"As for these departments, you can send people to supervise them secretly. As long as they don't overheat, you can let them go. If there are any bad signs, report to me immediately and be ready at any time."

Although Lu Dingtang was puzzled by this somewhat strange order, he did not ask any further questions, but nodded in response, "Yes!"

The work of various departments, if other factors are not considered, seems to be office work, so it is really inconvenient for MacLehose to intervene before there are any adverse effects.

After all, the power of appointment and removal of personnel in various major departments is in London, and he mainly has the power to advise and supervise management.

If the head of the Jardine Consortium this time did it personally, then he could only turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see it.

If it is done by a deputy or a junior staff member in each department, it is even more inconvenient for him to intervene. Not to mention the downgrade, he also stretches his hand too long, so it is best to deal with it within each department.

To put it badly, he, the head of the Hong Kong Governor, should be doing ass-wiping work during this period of time.

Except for a few occasional remarks, if you want to intervene in a justifiable manner, you need a sufficient reason!

"Go, it's getting late, go back to rest early!"

McLehose said lightly.

"Okay, Your Excellency the Governor, you should rest early too!"

After Lu Dingtang finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Lu Dingtang closed the door and left, MacLehose crossed his fingers and continued to think deeply. After a long time, he muttered to himself, "The Jardine Consortium...the Jiuding Consortium...hehe..."

...

"Hey, Mr. Dawson, I'm Xia Yu, good evening!"

"...Yes, there is good news. The profit rate of Evergreen No. 1 Fund has now reached 8%... By the way, today, a law enforcement team from the Industry and Commerce Administration came to our company to investigate. Do you know about this?"

"...Okay, then I'll trouble you. The normal operation of the fund requires a good environment. It is always disrupted and prone to problems..."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu smiled lightly, obviously in a good mood.

This is already the fifth person, and they are all high-ranking investors.

Although what Xia Yu said was a little obscure, but those people were all human beings. They immediately knew what Xia Yu meant. If they knew the situation, they would tell Xia Yu about the situation. .

Xia Yu believed in their promise. After all, they were connected by a chain of interests, and they would definitely be willing to help, as long as they could delay it for a few days.

Of course, it would be great if the trouble could be solved directly!

"The Keswick family, hehe, you have your Zhang Liangji, I have mine, and you are not the only ones who have connections..."

With a sneer, Xia Yu continued to make calls.

Only by making the phone calls in person can you be more weighty and get things resolved.
