Chapter 435: The Christmas Dinner at the Governor's Mansion 1
————
Bao Zixuan continued to play and disappear, and now people are used to it. Including the people of Xiangjiang are not very concerned, after all, it has been a long time. There is also the fact that Li's TV station has several episodes of the tycoon's day in a row, which makes this show a little tasteless, and the attention is greatly reduced.
At this time, in the weasel factory of Heiyun Group in Tin Shui Wai, everyone is carefully checking every data and checking the accuracy of each part. After spending three months in an inhuman life, the engineers finally saw a glimmer of hope: their first prototype of a ground-effect aircraft was about to be assembled.
At this time, if you are not particularly familiar with these relatives and friends, it is estimated that it is difficult to recognize them. Everyone is not in a very good state of mind, some have long hair, and some simply have a bald haircut. The engineers at the Weasel Factory work very hard every day and have little time to do anything other than work. The time to eat and take a shower here must be calculated accurately, otherwise it will slow down the progress of the whole project.
But at this critical time, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose's assistant Joante came to the Black Cloud Group. He came to invite Bao Zixuan to attend the Christmas charity dinner hosted by the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
However, what made Joante angry was that Bao Zixuan really didn't give face. You can shirk the banquet of Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang, the past people who were not in Xiangjiang said before, and now they dare to refuse the invitation of the governor here. What does this mean, not giving face at all!
Zhao Tingting hurriedly explained: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Joante. Our boss has entered a critical period in the laboratory to develop products, and has already explained that no one can disturb him. ”
In addition, in order to show his support for charity, Heiyun Group will donate 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the organizer of this charity dinner. ”
Although he was not happy, he really didn't dare to be too presumptuous with Bao Zixuan with his status.
Joante: "We all know that Bao Sheng is busy, but this is what the Governor has told us. Moreover, he was a guest personally invited by His Excellency the Governor, and it is difficult for me to explain it when I go back. ”
Zhao Tingting: "Mr. Joante, please also explain a thing or two in front of the governor. At that time, the Black Cloud Group will send representatives to participate, and if there are any requirements from the Governor's Palace, we will fully cooperate. ”
When Joante left, he took a check of 12 million Hong Kong dollars, which made Zhao Tingting very angry. But it's hard to say anything, after all, your boss can only suffer some financial losses if he doesn't give face.
It can be said that Bao Zixuan still trusts Zhao Tingting very much, and he can sign and pay as long as the amount does not exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang. However, every month, PwC's accountants will carefully check each project and then form a statement, which makes Bao Zixuan happy that there are really no big problems in various companies at present.
All operating and procurement costs are within a reasonable range, after all, the benefits of Heiyun Group are among the top in the world. If you leave because of corruption, it will really outweigh the losses, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find such a good job in the future.
When Joannet returned, he explained to the Governor, much to MacLehose's heart. However, he also knew that his term of office was about to end, and there was no need to offend Bao Zixuan at this time. And people also donated, and with the mediation of the assistant, when Joante left the office, he didn't have such a big opinion on Bao Zixuan.
On the evening of December 25, 1981, the festive atmosphere of the Xiangjiang Governor's Palace was very strong. This may be MacLehose's last Christmas in Heung Kong, and the last time he will host a charity dinner as Governor. Therefore, almost all the tycoon-level figures in Xiangjiang came to the Governor's Palace, first, to celebrate the festival together, but also to see them off.
MacLehose can be said to be the most accomplished of the previous governors of Hong Kong, and he can be regarded as the one who has really contributed to the development of Hong Kong! His departure marks the end of an era, and the tycoons are concerned about the direction in which Hong Kong will develop after MacLehose's departure.
MacLehose also wants to use his influence to make a final effort to persuade some tycoon-level figures not to agree to Xiangjiang's return. Even if the return is inevitable, I hope they can relocate to the British mainland. If all the big businesses evacuate Hong Kong, then what else will be there in Hong Kong. When the time comes, the return will be a joke, and it will also let China know that the British Empire can still influence the economic development of Xiangjiang.
At this time, the Xiangjiang merchants in the Governor's Mansion can be said to be distinct, and when the Governor did not arrive, they were basically chatting with people in a small circle.
Fok Yingdong didn't want to attend the banquet of the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, but he gave him an invitation. If you don't come, you can't say it, after all, everyone still has to live on face.
Seeing Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yu and others chatting together, he walked over.
Seeing Huo Yingdong coming, Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "I heard that Huo Sheng went to the north once recently, and he stayed there for a long time, so he should have gained a lot this time!"
Huo Yingdong went to the mainland for nearly a month this time and inspected more than a dozen provinces. A preliminary understanding of the resource advantages and investment environment of these provinces is a signal that the mainland has intensified its reform and opening up. After Huo Lao understood the situation, he was able to introduce it to other Xiangjiang businessmen, and it can be said that in the early days of reform and opening up, Huo Yingdong used his influence to promote Xiangjiang businessmen to invest in the mainland.
Fok Yingdong: "I saw a lot of magnificent scenery this time, and many places in the mainland are still very worthy of investment. Didn't Zheng Sheng always want to go to the mainland to invest in jewelry processing factories? I went to see a few places this time that were more suitable, and I could go to the spot to inspect them when I had the opportunity. ”
At this time, Li Chaoren came over and said: "Huo Sheng, don't favor one over the other, I'm also going to go to the mainland to see, if there are any good projects, you can't forget me." ”
Huo Yingdong: "These are easy to say, as long as Li Sheng wants to go, he can go at any time." By the way, why didn't you see Xiao Baosheng today, Dong Sheng, do you understand the situation!"
Dong Haoyun: "He didn't have a road surface when you had a treat last time, and he didn't show up when Bao Sheng had a birthday." I thought that this banquet in the Governor's Palace should be able to be seen, but who thought that it still didn't appear. ”
"On Bao Sheng's birthday, he called me and asked me to explain it to everyone on his behalf. I haven't been free for a while, and I'm making amends after the project is over. ”
Hearing that Bao Zixuan was talking about it, Bao Yugang was also interested. After all, his old man often asks about Bao Zixuan's situation, but he doesn't communicate much with others, so it's impossible to know what the specific situation is.
Dong Haoyun and Huo Yingdong are people who have more exchanges with Bao Zixuan in Xiangjiang, and they should know something. It's good to listen to it, at least I can talk to the old man when I go back.
Bao Yugang: "You said that Xiao Baosheng is a big project this time, I heard that he has been in retreat in the Heiyun Factory in Tianshuiwei for nearly 3 months. And also mobilized a lot of engineers, although we are not engaged in the technology industry, but we also know that such a big move, the development of products is definitely not simple. ”
Dong Haoyun: "I don't know the specifics, no one in Xiangjiang is engaged in the field of science and technology except for Xiaobao. I can't guess what he's going to do, but this kid can surprise everyone every time, and I'm looking forward to it this time. After all, this is the first product he developed when he returned to Xiangjiang, and it would be strange if it couldn't be shocking. ”
Hearing everyone talking about Bao Zixuan, Zheng Yu was not very comfortable. After seeing Shark Guts' expression, Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "Zheng Sheng, why haven't I seen your daughter's daughter recently." ”
People of Huo Yingdong's level would not ask their daughter for no reason, what does this mean. Zheng Yu didn't understand very well at the same time, but he quickly replied: "I went to Europe for a vacation a week ago, and I won't be back until New Year's Day." ”
Huo Yingdong: "I still think that your daughters and small bags are more suitable for these girls, you can really consider it." ”
In fact, as Huo Yingdong, he should not say these things, but this is about the unity between Chinese businessmen. In addition, if Bao Zixuan marries a British or American woman, there will be a lot of choices. It is likely that if you really go abroad because of a bad idea, it will be a huge loss to Xiangjiang, and even the whole of China will not be able to bear such a big loss.
This trip to the mainland made him feel that the development of science and technology was really too backward, and the West's scientific and technological blockade of China had never stopped. At this time, the Black Cloud Group, which occupies a pivotal position in the world's science and technology field, is particularly important. After all, this is a Chinese enterprise, and Bao Zixuan is a patriotic businessman.
Just the construction of a steel plant has made Huaxia's special steel domestically produced, and if there are a few more such projects, it is self-evident that it will promote the scientific and technological development of the whole country, so he doesn't want Bao Zixuan to leave Xiangjiang, even if there is a trace of hidden danger.
Zheng Yutong has always belonged to the wall-riding faction and has not clearly expressed his willingness to return. It may have a lot to do with the industry, after all, raw materials are too dependent on British power. The heart may be towards the Huaxia Continent, but there is a big hidden danger here, if Bao Zixuan can marry Zheng Jiajia, the probability of the two families leaving Xiangjiang together can be said to be very small.
