Chapter 437: The Christmas Dinner at the Governor's Mansion 3
When Governor MacLehose and Zheng Yutong were chatting, Fok Yingdong had been paying attention, and at this time, he saw where the shark gall was stunned. Was it because the governor had seized the handle, or if he had spoken to his heart? Either way, it's a red flag.
Chow Tai Fook has an important influence in the world, and Cheng Yutong is not only doing well in the jewelry business. It is also very accomplished in the real estate industry, and the fact that New World can become one of the Five Tigers of Heung Kong Real Estate has already explained the problem.
It's not very convenient to be here today, and it seems that in a few days, we will have to ask everyone to come out and find a place to gather. Otherwise, if MacLehose really lets go of his identity, some people may not be able to resist.
MacLeho thinks that the chat with Zheng Yutong has had a certain effect, and this is a good start. Now he has turned his attention to Li Chaoren, believing that this is also an object that can be fought for.
Seeing the governor coming, Li Chaoren didn't dare to take off. He smiled and said, "Hello Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
MacLehose: "Hello, Mr. Lee. I've been looking for you for a while, but I didn't expect you to be in the corner. This is not in line with your identity and status, and sometimes you can't be too low-key. ”
"Although you Chinese have an old saying, it is called making a fortune in a muffled voice, it is because of the special circumstances of the Chinese country. In the British Empire there is absolutely no need to do so, and the sanctity of private property is a law to be observed by all, I think you should understand that. ”
Li Chaoren is such a smart person, when MacLehose came to him and took the initiative to find him, he knew that this matter was not simple. Now I heard this outgoing governor say that private property is sacrosanct, and this is not a disguised reflection of the Chinese mainland.
However, Li Chaoren is a person who often goes to the mainland, and he still knows a thing or two about Huaxia's current policy. It is self-evident that the British came to him for the purpose of wanting to make themselves the first bird. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing, otherwise he wouldn't be Li Chaoren.
Li Chaoren said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the reminder from Your Excellency the Governor, but my assets are not ranked in Xiangjiang." I still think about myself after looking at other people's decisions, but if a country wants to develop, it still has to be credible, otherwise how can it be recognized by the international community, do you say yes?"
Li Chaoren's answer made MacLehose not know how to answer, and basically blocked what he was going to say. Looking at Li Chaoren, MacLehose suddenly felt that he had really underestimated this person over the years. This EQ alone is not comparable to ordinary people, and the most important thing is that he is not offended by anyone, I haven't heard of Li Chaoren blushing with anyone over the years, it seems that he is the one who is deeply hidden.
Compared with Fok Ying-tung, Li Chaoren is not so close to the mainland, but compared with other people, he is not at all estranged, and he maintains good relations with British companies such as HSBC. But if you want to say that Li Chaoren has a particularly good relationship with anyone, there is really none. This is the character trait that a successful businessman should have, and everything is just to achieve the goal. If there are too many emotional factors, it is likely to affect your judgment.
MacLehose: Mr. Lee, don't jump to conclusions, many things can't be changed in a moment. In your Chinese dialect, it is freezing three times and not a day's cold, is it because of a region or a few people to change the system? It can't happen anywhere in the world, and that would cause discontent in other regions.
In fact, Superman has been thinking about these questions recently, but he was quickly relieved. If there are various uncertainties and problems in the return of Xiangjiang, then where is the top of the big one.
Li Chaoren: "I'll see what other people think, and then decide on my own way out." What's more, it's still too early to talk about this, after all, there is still a long time before the return, and everything is still unknown. ”
MacLehose is still a little reluctant: "It's better to prepare for everything in advance, otherwise it will be very passive at that time." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaoren knew that the high-level leaders in Kyoto must have given the governor a strong signal to take back the Xiangjiang. Even if it is an act of war, Huaxia must take back Xiangjiang, otherwise he would not be able to win over Chinese businessmen so actively. The Governor didn't care so much about them before, but now it seems that some things need to be changed, otherwise compared to Fok Yingdong, others may have a higher status in the hearts of the people in Kyoto.
No wonder Bao Zixuan dared to invest in Huaxia so generously, this is the confidence of others. It may be a little painful now, once Xiangjiang returns, it will be an early team, which is much stronger than temporary cramming.
Not to mention that Li Chaoren really increased his investment in the Huaxia mainland after that, it can only be said that his life is good, and he still makes money no matter what the situation.
Knowing that he couldn't break through with Superman Lee, MacLehose moved on to the next goal. At this time, he was very emotional, when did this governor do such a sloppy thing, and actually asked him to take the initiative to talk to these Xiangjiang Hua to discuss things. This was impossible to happen before, let alone unimaginable.
Guo Desheng is a relatively low-key existence among the five tigers of Xiangjiang Real Estate, neither of which is an academic school like Hu Yingxiang, who designed and built landmark buildings by himself. It's not like Lee Shau Kee who specializes in recycling old buildings and advertising all over the world. It's not like Li Chaoren who is good at marketing and publicity, nor is he more rich than Zheng Yutong.
It can be said that Guo Desheng is the weakest among the five real estate tigers in a certain aspect, but at the same time, he is also the most balanced existence. In the early days, he cooperated with Lee Shau Kee to enter the real estate field, and at this time he was completely independent, and he was able to run the business vigorously, which is the embodiment of his ability, and anyone can operate as usual after the company leaves.
After MacLehose saw Guo Desheng's information, he couldn't imagine how he made his business so big. This man has no distinguishing features, and he doesn't look like a super-rich person in his usual behavior.
Guo Desheng didn't expect the governor to actually come to him, but he had seen MacLehose chatting with Zheng Yutong and Li Chaoren before. Now come to find yourself, do you have any thoughts and goals, or are you ready to break them down?
Guo Desheng: "Hello, Governor MacLehose. ”
MacLehose: "Hello, Mr. Guo, it's not easy to meet you. ”
Guo Desheng has always been known as an honest businessman in Xiangjiang, and he usually has no hobbies other than work. Therefore, there is very little socialization, and it basically does not come out. This time I was able to come to the Governor's Palace because of MacLehose's imminent departure.
Guo Desheng: "Your Excellency the Governor said with a smile, if you want to see me, I can call me at any time; ”
MacLehose: "You're saying this a little late, I guess I'll be back in London next year." It's a long way from Xiangjiang, but if you can settle there, we can get together often, and maybe we can be on call with each other, as you said. ”
MacLehose knew that time was running out, not only for his own governorship, but also for today's dinner, which had to be decided quickly.
Huo Yingdong, Dong Haoyun, and Hu Yingxiang are pro-Chinese mainland factions, and even if they themselves have no effect in the past. In the next few days, I still have to find a few more people to talk to, and the last goal today is on Guo Desheng!
Guo Desheng didn't expect MacLehose to be so direct, looking at the expressions of Shark Gallant and Li Chaoren, he should be more subtle when he said to them, how did he come to himself and completely changed, isn't this bullying honest people!
However, he Guo Desheng is not as temperamental as he seems on the surface, but he is not good now. But you can't just let people bully like that, even if the other party is the governor.
Guo Desheng: "My health is not very good, I heard that there is a lot of foggy weather in London, and I can't see the sun for a few days all year round, or Xiangjiang is more suitable for me." When His Excellency the Governor retires, he will be able to return to Xiangjiang, and I will be on call as usual. ”
This is the first time MacLehose has heard such an obvious refusal today, and it seems that the intelligence information is not very accurate. Guo Desheng is also a person with ideas, and he is by no means an honest businessman in people's mouths.
Fortunately, at this time, the host said that the auction was about to start, and it was just right to relieve our Governor, otherwise neither of them would know how to end.
