Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

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 is war and peace. Although this is the title of a book written by a Soviet writer, it is 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 kind of banquet held every year. But now Governor Youde is watching you; you don’t have to go even if you don’t want to. After all, the British still have the final say in Xiangjiang at this time, 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 in Hong Kong came quite neatly this time. Basically, everyone in Hong Kong was invited. Even many people who don't usually show up often have to come. Everyone knows that it is during the war between Britain and Argentina, so you should listen to others!

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 generously donate 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 defeating Argentina. Moreover, there are many large companies and rich people in Hong Kong. The best solution is for everyone to work together.”

Now no one wants to be the one who stands out. Everyone is avoiding it. After all, this is something that offends people. What will others 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 governance 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 had always been detrimental to him before. After all, who doesn't want to have a noble title? Even if it is useless, it is still good for others to call it.

But it was destined to disappoint Youde, but Bao Zixuan knew that Xiangjiang would definitely return in 1997. What's the point of asking for a title of nobility in the UK at that time, and how will 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 detrimental to the education of the next generation.”

After hearing Bao Zixuan's answer, Youde really couldn't find anything wrong, but he felt that something was wrong. He didn't particularly care, after all, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't have thought that the richest man Bao 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 personally.”

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, it was hard for him to be too pushy. Things must turn against each other at the extreme. I believe that as long as a person is in Xiangjiang, he cannot escape his grasp. We must change our 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 hit someone. Why are everyone dead? He and the entire Heiyun Group have to share so much.

Bao Zixuan: "Your Majesty the Governor, have you made a mistake? Why do Heiyun Group and I share so much?"

Youde asked Bao Zixuan to see that it was just for bargaining purposes, and he had been dealing with Chinese businessmen for many years. He knows how to charge high prices and pay back the money.

Seeing such a high amount of money being shared, I knew that even if Bao Zixuan had money, he wouldn't be able to agree. Then you can lower the price appropriately for him; it not only gives him face, but also makes Mr. Bao feel that he is relying on his ability to lower the price to satisfy his 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 Xiangjiang prevented Bao Zixuan from speaking directly. If you are an ordinary businessman, you can ignore it. But now that the British Hong Kong government is involved, we can't afford not to give it any face!

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. But the money that Heiyun Group put in Standard Chartered Bank was enough, so Youde knew it was a bit excessive. But I also believe that as long as Bao Shaofu wants to help, everything will not 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. Most. I can keep up with HSBC to the maximum extent, that is to say, 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 someone 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 being surpassed by Heiyun three years ago, they have been in the second place. In recent years, HSBC and Heiyun 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 a lot, it would be easy to handle. So he said: "As the number one company in Hong Kong and one of the most famous companies 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, it still has to pay taxes as a company. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yoder, as the governor, knows about Heiyun's financial situation. After all, he is ranked first every time, and it is impossible to remember whether he wants to 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 remain 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's indeed a bit small. Black Cloud Group purchased 1 billion pounds of war bonds. Heiyun has more than 500,000 employees in Hong Kong. It shouldn't be a big problem for them to buy 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 to beat themselves!"

When Bao Zixuan said this, Youde didn't say anything. After all, Bao's purchase of so many war bonds by himself has 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's still easier to negotiate with young people. If you are like Shen Bi and others, they will definitely give you a lot of reasons, and then cry for poverty. In the end, when you have to pay for it, it will be more uncomfortable than killing them.
