Chapter 385: The Banquet at the Governor's Mansion 1
After a night's rest in Yangcheng, the gang of Xiangjiang tycoons returned directly to Xiangjiang. After all, there are too many things, and it is not short when it comes out this time.
However, what made them depressed was that they had just returned to Xiangjiang and received an invitation from the Hong Kong Governor's Office, inviting them to attend the birthday banquet of the Hong Kong Governor's wife tomorrow night, and even Fok Yingdong received the invitation. Everyone understands that the British are in a hurry, after all, so many tycoons have invested in China in the past, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger every time. If you don't knock it out now, you might have to do something out of the ordinary.
MacLehose also wants to settle things during his tenure, leaving the problem to the next term is a stain on his administration. At this time, MacLehose was very worried about the United Kingdom being able to continue to govern Hong Kong, but he still wanted to make a final effort. The British believed that they had brought about the prosperity that Xiangjiang has today, and it would be too cheap to give it up.
The only way to ensure that Xiangjiang could continue under British rule was to convince the people of Xiangjiang that there was no hope as long as the majority of the people who did not support the return of the country would have any hope, and that they did not have the courage and ability to use force against China.
Now I heard that all the ten richest people in Xiangjiang went to the mainland to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the steel plant, and they also went to Yangcheng together. This worries MacLehose that if all 10 of them support the return, it will be almost impossible for the British to continue to govern on the land of Hong Kong. The energy of the ten of them is too great, and many people in Xiangjiang are working for them. One of the things that worries him the most is Bao Zixuan, who was able to make HSBC so miserable last time has proved the strength of the first person in the business community in Hong Kong. This time, I took the opportunity of my wife's birthday to invite them over to communicate well, which may also be one of the few places where we can work hard.
Not long after Bao Zixuan received the invitation, Huo Yingdong called, although Huo Yingdong was the most unlikely person to win over. However, it is a bit unreasonable not to invite him over, after all, the status in the business community of Xiangjiang is there.
Huo Yingdong: "Did Xiao Baosheng also receive an invitation, I think it's impossible not to invite you." ”
Bao Zixuan: "I'm looking for someone to ask about what to pay attention to tomorrow." After all, I have never participated in similar events when it comes to preparing gifts, especially women's birthday parties, and I have little experience in them. ”
Bao Zixuan is indeed telling the truth, the last time Jessica Mellon was in the United States on her birthday. It's not all a good thing to rise too fast, he has no experience with a banquet like this, and no one has taken him there before.
Fok Ying-tung: "It's okay to prepare a small gift, and spend some money to buy something at the charity auction." It's a small matter for you, and what I'm most worried about now is that MacLehose will take this opportunity to put pressure on us, after all, there are still more than ten years before the return, and there are too many uncertainties. ”
Bao Zixuan: "What Huo Lao said is, but I think that if there is serious turmoil in Xiangjiang during this period, the mainland side will not let it go!"
Fok Ying-tung: "This will definitely not, recovering a complete and prosperous Xiangjiang is something that the mainland must do." ”
Bao Zixuan: "I'll rest assured, as long as we pay taxes according to the rules, it is estimated that MacLehose will not dare to do anything." He's just an outdated politician when he retires, and we're still super rich. If he really dares to offend people to death, we will make it easier for him, as long as the mainland can ensure that there is a big problem in Xiangjiang and can enter in advance, he is not afraid of anything. ”
Huo Yingdong didn't expect that Bao Zixuan, who is usually harmless to humans and animals, would have such a tough side, it seems that people just disdain to show it. This kid may be looking farther than himself, otherwise what would so many security guards do. I didn't bring a bodyguard before because of my name and qualifications in society, but now it seems that there are things that I really have to guard against. Bao Zixuan usually has bodyguards with him when he goes out, and there are a lot of them openly and secretly, it seems that this kid has planned for the worst.
At the same time, in the Governor's House, MacLehose was listening to a report from his assistant Joante. They want to lay out the layout for this birthday party, at least to truly understand the attitude of these Chinese businessmen. Huo Yingdong, Hu Yingxiang, Dong Haoyun, these diehards do not report any hope, and now what makes them a headache is that Bao Zixuan is also moving closer to the diehards, which the British do not want to see, and at the same time cannot tolerate it.
Bao Zixuan and the entire Heiyun Group are a money printing machine, and many technologies are of great strategic value. Bao Zixuan himself is a Turing Award winner and can enjoy the treatment of a top scientist anywhere in the world.
If you really can't take Bao Zixuan and the Black Cloud Group away, don't you clean him up. The fact that the Americans agreed to Qian Lao's departure was that China developed missiles, nuclear weapons, and satellites within a few years, which may be one of the things that Americans regret the most. The British don't want to make the mistake of seeing that Bao Zixuan can't be used for their own purposes or pay taxes to the UK. Then he was an enemy in the eyes of the British, and a fierce enemy.
MacLehose: "How's it going?" ”
Qiao Ante: "At present, it is going very well, two earls and a viscount noble lady are very interested in Bao Zixuan, they have now come to Xiangjiang and will attend the banquet as a lady friend. Here are their pictures, and I don't think any man will be indifferent. ”
MacLehose took the photo and looked at it, very satisfied. Not to mention Bao Zixuan, a young man in his 20s, even if he is over 60 years old, he is a little impulsive.
MacLehose: "What about the family situation of these three girls, it can't be too complicated. That would have a ripple effect, and it would be too purposeful. ”
In fact, MacLehose wants to say that the family background is better not to be too strong, if it becomes a happy family. If he doesn't succeed, he will have to take some responsibility, and it will inevitably lead to a backlash from the girl's family. At that time, even as a governor, he may not be able to bear it, after all, this pimp is what he wants to pull.
Joante: "Several of them have almost all passed away, and at most they have a title of nobility. Life in China is a middle-class level, and it may be a little insufficient. However, the temperament cultivated since childhood is not possessed by other girls, and they are also in the middle of the family for a short time. ”
What Bao Zixuan lacks is a background and a noble title, and he is not afraid that he will not be impressed if he gives this to him. The aristocratic ladies all want to return to their original lives, and if they can be with the richest man in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that they will not have to worry about money in this life.
Joante's plan has been in the works for a long time, and he has been waiting for an opportunity before. Bao Zixuan has been studying in the United States for a long time, and if the purpose of going to the United States is too obvious, this birthday of the governor's wife is a very good opportunity. After all, there will be a lot of female dependents at that time, and even a few more aristocratic girls will not attract attention.
This is the best way that can be thought of at present, after all, Bao Zixuan has not done anything illegal and undisciplined, and his influence in the international community is very great, so he must not be easily arrested. Is it not yet time to have someone assassinate him?
If you can use beauty tricks to make them fall into line, immigrating to the UK must be a perfect ending.
Bao Zixuan didn't know that he was being calculated again now, but fortunately, the last female reporter incident had given him some inside stories. But this time it's a noble lady, and every man has a desire to conquer in his heart, but he doesn't know if he can suppress it.
At this time, Bao Zixuan was thinking about what to send to the governor's wife, it was too expensive and suspected of bribery, and let people know that you would say that you tend to be inflammatory, too ordinary and not very respectful to others, after all, everyone thinks that he is the richest man in Xiangjiang.
After thinking about it, he didn't know what to give a good Bao Zixuan decided to call his mother, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, what gift he chose to give was not his strong point.
Li Yulin on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that you have purchased so much silk in the mainland, and there are so many ginseng at home, which are all things that women need, and it is not appropriate to send others." After all, you can't overshadow Zheng Yutong's limelight when you send jewelry, and there are other tycoons who are engaged in this field. ”
After listening to Li Yulin's words, Bao Zixuan once again understood the truth that "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure". It seems that I still need to communicate more with my mother. The shopping malls and rivers and lakes are not all sycophants, fights and killings, and there are also human accidents, which he is very lacking as a physical worker. The main thing is that he has not had a mentor to teach him since he was a child, both in his past life and in this life.
Now that the gift was already available, Bao Zixuan immediately asked people to prepare it. He also knew that going to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion this time must be a Hongmen banquet, but since he wanted to take this road, he had to go all the way, and there was almost no room for turning back now.
