As soon as 7 o'clock in the evening arrived, I saw that His Excellency the Governor had arrived in the hall on the first floor with his wife. Everyone stopped talking and waited for the master of ceremonies to introduce and the staff to arrange. After all, now the governor is nominally the supreme leader of Xiangjiang, and the face that should be given is still given. Otherwise, everyone is not very good-looking.

The master of ceremonies said into the microphone: "Thank you for coming today, and now I have the floor for our honorable Governor MacLehose to speak." ”

After taking the stage, MacLehose looked at the people below and said: "This year is my eighth year in the beautiful city of Hong Kong, and in these eight years, I have witnessed the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, the rapid development of Hong Kong's urban construction, and the diligence and wisdom of the people of Hong Kong. ”

"However, everything in Hong Kong is inseparable from all of you for your strong support, and I would like to thank you very much for your support and love for me and the Hong Kong government. Thank you all and hope you all had a great evening. ”

When Huo Yingdong heard MacLehose finish speaking, he suddenly said to Bao Zixuan: "Can you hear any taste!" ”

Bao Yugang has already gone to chat with other partners, and there is only one person surnamed Bao Zixuan here. Knowing that he was talking to himself, Bao Zixuan returned: "I started to play the emotional card, after all, I am facing return negotiations." ”

Bao Zixuan only dares to talk to Huo Yingdong about these words at present, if he is heard by some people with ulterior motives. The unlucky one is definitely him, although it doesn't hurt your bones, but the British will always make you uncomfortable.

Huo Yingdong didn't expect Bao Zixuan to have such an awareness, it seems that all Chinese people in this area love their country the same.

Huo Yingdong: "Bao Sheng is not against returning to the mainland, what do you think of the north." ”

Bao Zixuan: "I am a resolute supporter of national reunification, and I am a strip of water." Without the support of a strong state, those of us would be treated as second-class or even third-class citizens anywhere in the world. Some people talk about patriotism, but their nationality has changed, and sooner or later these people will be unbearable by the public. ”

"I spend more time in the U.S., but I can't help it. There are no technical talents in Xiangjiang, and I chose to study engineering for this purpose, to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, and to rejuvenate the country through industry. This is also the purpose of building one of the best polytechnic schools in the world in Hong Kong. ”

"Huaxia is too far behind in science and technology, I want to try my best to catch up and surpass, and do my best to obey the destiny of God!"

Huo Yingdong: "I didn't expect Bao Sheng to be young, and he can see the situation clearly in the face of major rights and wrongs, which is really rare." ”

Bao Zixuan: "It's nothing, as long as the country is strong, it's okay for us people to sacrifice some." The money earned is enough to spend several lifetimes, but what is the use of China if it is not strong? If the individual is too strong and the country is too weak, it is very easy to suffer losses. Huo Sheng has a deep understanding of this discovery!"

Huo Yingdong does have a deep understanding that he has worked hard for the return of Xiangjiang for so many years. It was suppressed by the British and the Hong Kong government. made many projects impossible to enter, but it still couldn't suppress his patriotic heart.

Huo Yingdong: "Bao Sheng has seen through the test, and there will be more exchanges in the future." ”

Bao Zixuan: "Huo Sheng is too polite, if the country needs anything in the future, you can say it directly." Others dare not guarantee that my Bao Zixuan is definitely rich and powerful. ”

At this time, seeing Bao Yugang coming over with an Englishman, Huo Yingdong and Bao Zixuan stopped chatting. Bao Yugang said to the British: "Shen Sheng, this is Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group, Mr. Bao." Haven't you always wanted to get acquainted!"

"Bao Sheng, this is Mr. Shen Bi, the senior class of HSBC. ”

Huo Yingdong said hello and left after seeing Shen Bi coming, he and Shen Bi should not have a special friendship.

Shen Bi is a graduate of St. Edward's College, University of Oxford.

In 1945 he served in India, the Middle East and Libya. In 1982, when he negotiated with Margaret Thatcher on the sovereignty of Hong Kong, Shen Bi, then chairman of HSBC, proposed: "Britain must retain its jurisdiction, and handing over sovereignty is just a façade." Margaret Thatcher herself had reservations about China's proposal of "one country, two systems" and felt that Beijing's visit was fraught with difficulties.

In 1948, he was demobilized to Hong Kong and joined HSBC, where he worked in Singapore and RB HSBC for several years before becoming general manager in 1971. After that, he was promoted step by step.

In 1977, he was appointed Chairman of HSBC, a position he held until his retirement in 1987. During his tenure, HSBC's profitability grew rapidly and its business reached its peak.

In 1979, he sold all of HSBC's ordinary shares in British-owned Hutchison to Cheung Kong Asset.

In 1980, it used HK$2 billion to support Bao Yugang to buy a controlling stake in Wharf, and successively recruited a number of Chinese members such as Li Chaoren and Deng Lianru to the board of directors of HSBC.

In 1985, he also spent 5 billion yuan to build the HSBC head office building, and spent another 3.1 billion US dollars to buy a 51% stake in Ocean Millan Bank in the United States, showing the strong strength of HSBC under his management, so Hong Kong people called him "Taipan King".

For the most famous Taipan Bao Zixuan in HSBC's history, I have also heard a lot of stories about him, and there is no intersection. But today, I saw that there should be so much politeness.

Bao Zixuan stretched out his hand and said, "Senior, hello! I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see it." ”

When Bao Yugang was puzzled, Shen Bi also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Bao Zixuan and said, "Hello, junior brother!"

He also said to Bao Yugang: "Bao Sheng doesn't know! I and Xiao Bao Sheng are alumni. ”

Bao Yugang: "Come to think of it, you are all students at Oxford University. ”

Shen Bi said to Bao Zixuan: "Why is the junior brother very familiar with Huo Yingdong!"

Bao Zixuan knew what this old boy was worried about, so he said: "I met for the first time today, and I happened to meet together, so I chatted a few more words." ”

Shen Bi thought to himself that it would be good, so that everyone could talk. Otherwise, we can only talk about some business matters.

Shen Bi: "There are a lot of Oxford alumni in Xiangjiang, and we can get together more often, and it is not necessarily a good thing for some people to have more contact. ”

Bao Zixuan knew what the British were worried about, but what he didn't know now was. Some questions about him have been reported to Downing Street, and the British do not want to let go of Hong Kong, so some big entrepreneurs in Hong Kong must be the priority targets.

Bao Zixuan has no complicated family affairs, and he has no worries in the mainland. He is the owner of the largest business in Hong Kong, and all this makes the British see that they can pull him to the British side.

Bao Zixuan: "I usually don't have much time in Xiangjiang, as long as I am on call." ”

Shen Bi: "Then it's decided, we'll get together more in the future." On January 3rd, HSBC has a thank you dinner, you want to come to it, and you are now our biggest customer of HSBC. ”

Bao Zixuan: "I will definitely go, please rest assured." ”

After chatting with Shen Bi for a while, Bao Yugang left with him. It's also a lot more interesting to think about the gang of tycoons in Xiangjiang, there are a lot of parties held from Christmas to New Year's Day every year, but this also needs to be organized by people with appeal. Otherwise, who will pay attention to you!

At this time, the driver said on the stage: "Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, our auction is about to begin. Please remain quiet for the time being, and thank you for your cooperation. ”

When Bao Zixuan first came in, he got a number plate, which was a number written by the Hong Kong government based on everyone's invitation, which was prepared for the auction now.

The Hong Kong government now has too many refugees to help, resulting in insufficient financial allocation. Now that all the rich people in Xiangjiang have come over, why should they take some money out of them.
