Chapter 434: The Chartered King's Birthday 2
The Governor of Hong Kong arrived at Bao Mansion very late, after all, where is the identity. Even if he is idle and bored, it is impossible to arrive early, which not only lowers his status, but also makes people say that he is not working hard and active enough. As a veteran politician, MacLehose can be said to have reached the point of perfection in terms of timing.
Journalists are very excited today, and it is not easy to see so many supertycoons at once. But some people are still unwilling, and even Governor MacLehose personally came to celebrate his birthday. Bao Zixuan still didn't appear, this was the last time Huo Mansion banquet did not attend, and the second time he did not attend the tycoon's party.
What is the richest man in Bao doing, many people are full of curiosity. Not going to any parties one after another doesn't look like what a supertycoon does. Many people think he's just crazy, but some people understand. After all, the richest man in Bao is a science and engineering talent, and he may put more effort in the laboratory, and it is understandable if he really does this. After all, everyone has their own living habits, and others have no right to interfere.
Although MacLehose is not the most wealthy, he is probably the poorest of the gang, but he will certainly be the focus of attention wherever he appears in Hong Kong. In any case, he was also the governor of Xiangjiang, and at this time Xiangjiang was still managed by the British. You still have to give face when you should give it, after all, people can make trouble for you.
The charter king saw MacLehose and said, "I feel that His Excellency the Governor can come over to my birthday banquet in his busy schedule, and your arrival has made the whole Bao Mansion flourish." ”
At this time, MacLehose didn't dare to take off his big, after all, he was nothing when he left his post. But the charter king is already super rich, and the most important thing is that he also wants to make a good relationship before leaving.
MacLehose: "Bao Sheng is so polite, and I would like to thank you for inviting me over." I am saying that you are the most important business leader in Hong Kong, and I have to come here for both public and private reasons. ”
"Yu Gong, you are a major taxpayer in Xiangjiang and have made outstanding contributions to the economic development of Xiangjiang. Yu privately, I have always regarded you as my good friend, how can I not congratulate my friend on his birthday. ”
It can be said that MacLehose has lived in Hong Kong for many years and has a clear grasp of the social channels of the Chinese. At this time, both language and culture are definitely an authentic Huaxia Tong, and the vernacular is also very fluent.
Knowing that today might be his last chance, MacLehose thinks he is still a more productive governor. If he can't solve the problem of the tendencies of the charter king, it is estimated that his successor, Sir Youde, will not have any good way to solve the matter.
The charter king didn't expect MacLehose to be so polite, after all, the governor wouldn't have spoken like this before. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and it seems that you still have to be on guard. Don't be taken advantage of by these politicians, or you may really be sorry for your ancestors.
Charter King: "All our achievements are inseparable from your support, and it is under your governance that Xiangjiang has today's prosperity." ”
I know that the charter king is a kind word, but this is what MacLehose wants. So he took the opportunity to say: "It seems that Bao Sheng understands the contribution of our Hong Kong and British governments, have you ever thought that after Huaxia takes over, Xiangjiang will be able to maintain such prosperity? Whether your assets will be protected are all issues to consider." ”
The charter king didn't expect that MacLehose had reached such a point at this time, which allowed him to take the lead in resisting returning. If you really do this, then you will really become a traitor, and it seems that you should be more careful in the future.
Charter King: "Regarding the issue of the return of the Xiangjiang River, there is not much we can really do. And it's politics, I'm just a businessman, I don't understand and don't like to get involved in politics. ”
If you can't get yourself out at this time, let the British seize the opportunity. may really take him as a typical publicity, then his reputation as the king of charter boats and even the entire Bao family will be ruined.
At that time, it is estimated that the entire Chinese world will know that the Bao family has a big traitor, and he can't afford this crime.
Hearing that the charter king did not accept this stubble, MacLehose could only change the topic. Otherwise, there is really no way to continue, everyone is a smart person, always digging holes for people, who would dare to continue chatting with you.
MacLehose: "Why didn't you see Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group today, I saw that almost all the tycoons in Xiangjiang came to attend your birthday party." ”
The British also wanted to know what Bao Zixuan was doing. But Xiangjiang is a society that emphasizes democracy and the rule of law, at least that's what the British propagandize. If you don't break the law, no one dares to go to other people's companies. If you do, you're waiting to be prosecuted!
The charter king knew that MacLehose wanted to know about Bao Zixuan through him, but he didn't know either. So he said: "I have invited Bao Zixuan to participate, but he is now tackling some projects." So I didn't come, but I asked someone to bring a gift. ”
"He is different from us, Bao Zixuan is a technical boss, many products are designed by himself, we are all trade bosses, we don't know much about technology, and we don't dare to jump to conclusions. ”
Hearing that even Bao Yugang didn't know what Bao Zixuan was doing, Huo Yingdong shouldn't be able to understand. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't tell himself, MacLehose was thinking about how to get Bao Zixuan to come over for the Christmas banquet at this time.
This was the last time he invited someone to the Christmas banquet as the governor of Hong Kong, and if Bao Zixuan could not come, the significance of this banquet would be greatly reduced, after all, there were already nearly 350,000 people working for Bao Zixuan at this time. It's not just a matter of money, it can even determine the fate of many electors.
Although MacLehose was the most important of the guests, it was all guests. Unwilling to snub others, and the charter king is the only protagonist today, staying by the governor's side for a long time will inevitably make people fall behind.
The charter boat king came over to greet the people who wished him on his birthday, and the people who could come over were all tycoons in Xiangjiang. It can be said that the quality of the charter boat on this birthday is still very high, at least in terms of the quality and strength of the participants.
At this time, the most discussed issue among the tycoons was about the return of Xiangjiang, after all, it was related to their vital interests. But seeing that there are so many British people today, no one dares to stir up this topic lightly. What if the British ask you to express your stance for a while, it is that you are concerned about the motherland, and you will have to endure it for more than ten years, and it is not comfortable for the British to give you small shoes to wear.
—————
The second topic is what Bao Zixuan is doing, after all, Bao Shoufu has now become an investment vane in many industries in Xiangjiang. The properties, stocks, and bonds purchased by him and the entire Black Cloud system are steadily increasing, which is a rather rare achievement.
And now that I have been in retreat for so many days to engage in research and development, it is definitely not easy to study things. After all, no project of the Black Cloud Group has received such attention.
Dong Haoyun is the most asked by everyone, after all, the relationship with Bao Zixuan is about here. Dong Haoyun said second, no one dared to say first. But at this time, he didn't know how to answer, after all, Bao Zixuan just asked someone to bring him a message. At this time, the project has entered a critical stage, and will not attend any banquets in the near future, so let Dong Lao help explain.
The charter king's birthday party was relatively happy, but there was one exception. That's our old man Bao, and not seeing Bao Zixuan today makes him sullen all the time. Although the Bao family saw some of the situation, they didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, there were too many people who came to attend the birthday banquet today, and everyone was a little busy just receiving guests.
Steward Wu looked at Bao Lao and said, "Master, today Young Master Bao Zixuan also asked someone to send a gift. And I heard Dong Lao say that Young Master Bao has already passed the word through him, and he has no time to attend any gatherings and banquets in the near future. If you are invited, don't blame him for not going to the kilowatt, and make up for it after the research and development is completed. ”
Hearing this made Old Man Bao finally a little happier, but he was also wondering if he had arranged to see Li Yulin in the near future. Some things still have to be made clear, and she can't be allowed to take the secret to the coffin.
