896 [You treacherously and I deceive] next
Although these are all Bi Wenfeng's speculations, Bi Wenfeng still holds on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Song Zhichao can get along with the last Hong Kong governor, even if it is good.
Song Zhichao sighed, facing Bi Wenfeng, he felt that it was better to tell the truth.
"The talks collapsed, and I didn't choose to side with the British government in Hong Kong. He glanced at Bi Wenfeng and stopped talking.
Bi Wenfeng was stunned, wanted to speak, but held back.
"A lot of things. Not that I can control it. Song Zhichao silently lit a cigarette and smoked.
Bi Wenfeng was a little clear, picked up the Marlboro on the coffee table, lit one too, and smoked a cigarette.
For him, at this moment, it is the same as Song Zhichao thinks, could it be said that this is one of the traps of the Kang family and Lin Jianyue deliberately nominating Song Zhichao as a "Justice of the Peace"?
Let Song Zhichao choose to take sides before 97 and refuse the persecution of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, thus causing the stock market turmoil of the Song Group?
If so, the intentions are too sinister.
Looking at Bi Wenfeng, a royal man who had always been stiff-faced and cold-hearted, smoking cigarettes, Song Zhichao knew that the situation was really dangerous at this time.
When the smoke in his hand burns halfway to the ground. Bi Wenfeng raised his head and asked: "Mr. Song, we have to be ready to save the market at this point, if the stock market falls, the Kang family, Lin Jianyue and others will definitely take the opportunity to short our stocks, and it will be a tough battle at that time." ”
Song Zhichao was slightly stunned, and then sighed lightly in his heart, people like Bi Wenfeng always like to think about things to the worst in their hearts--- in many cases, this point may be called "cautious", but for Song Zhichao, it is inevitable that he is a little unconfident.
The real king must be good at "strategizing", and only in this way can he "win a thousand miles".
From this point of view, Bi Wenfeng has never reached the height that Song Zhichao expected.
"Do you really think that there is no turning point in this matter?" Song Zhichao said in a strange tone, Bi Wenfeng looked up in amazement, Song Zhichao stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "The world is unpredictable, isn't it?"
Who is Bi Wenfeng, he instantly snuffed out the cigarette butt and stared at Song Zhichao, his eyes were sharp on his cold face, as if he wanted to see through Song Zhichao.
Just then, jingle bells!
A pleasant phone rang.
Under Bi Wenfeng's gaze, Song Zhichao walked over and picked up the phone very easily.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, it was the last Hong Kong Governor Pang Tingkang.
......
In other words, the news that Song Zhichao has become a candidate for this "Justice of the Peace" in Hong Kong has actually spread far and wide in Hong Kong.
Many Hong Kong media outlets have devoted a lot of attention to the incident.
Among them, the most authoritative Hong Kong "Commercial Daily" even described Song Zhichao with the headline "The last 'Justice of the Peace' in the era of the British government in Hong Kong".
This article by Handelsblatt has also been reprinted by many foreign media magazines, such as the British "Times", the French "Paris Times", and the most influential American "Time Magazine" in the world.
Among them, Time magazine in the United States seemed to be very interested in Song Zhichao's election as the last "Justice of the Peace" in the colony of Hong Kong, and when the magazine reprinted the report, it also deliberately used a very interesting news photo---
The picture shows the back of Song Zhichao in a suit and leather shoes, a white suit, a straight waist, and a "top hat" representing a gentleman of the British Empire in his left hand, making a gesture that he wants to wear on his head.
This report in Time magazine also caused a stir in the United States about "the last colonial gentleman of the empire on which the sun never sets".
Originally limited to Hong Kong, the award has unwittingly become a topic of discussion among Americans.
......
At this moment, on the other end of the phone, Peng Dingkang said to Song Zhichao in a strange tone: "Time Magazine seems to be paying attention to you--- dear Song, it seems that you have put a lot of effort into it." ”
When Song Zhichao was in the United States, he got acquainted with the American pop king Mike Jason, and then through Mike's relationship, he got acquainted with the big boss of Time Magazine.
Song Zhichao understood what Peng Dingkang meant, and said with a smile: "I just invested a small amount of money in it--- investment magazine is very promising." ”
Peng Dingkang smiled over there, smiling a little hideously, and a little helpless: "Yes, it is indeed very promising--- I called to tell you that tomorrow's award will continue, please be ready." After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Britain has always been the little brother of the Yankees, and now that things are so big, Lao Peng, as the last governor of Hong Kong, has long been difficult to ride.
Song Zhichao put down the phone in his hand, exhaled lightly, glanced at Bi Wenfeng, who was staring at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now, you can go to sleep with confidence." ”
Bi Wenfeng: "......"
He never imagined that such a major crisis would be easily solved by Song Zhichao.
Could it be that Song Zhichao guessed the sinister intentions of the Kang family and the Lin family from the beginning?
Thinking of this, even after following Song Zhichao for so long, Bi Wenfeng still shuddered.
......
Song Mansion ---
Leaving the living room and personally seeing off Bi Wenfeng, one of the top figures in the Song Group, Song Zhichao found that his palms were sweating.
Yes, he did take a risk this time.
From the very beginning of being nominated as a "Justice of the Peace", Song Zhichao knew that this was likely to be a "cheese trap", and it was not clear that Kang Yongren and Kang Yonglian brothers, as well as Lin Jianyue, who was placed together by himself, would work together to dig a pit for himself to jump.
Sure enough, just before the award, the Hong Kong Governor's Office invited him to come over and make his attitude clear on whether he was siding with Britain or the mainland.
Nonsense, as a Chinese, of course, you have to side with your own country.
Besides, seeing that it is almost ninety-seven, these British Yankees who stay in Hong Kong are like grasshoppers in autumn, and they can no longer be in a position to be powerful for a few days.
But Song Zhichao also knew that from the beginning of his rejection of Peng Dingkang's overtures, all companies under the Song Group, including Wanda Logistics, Phantom Film Company, Wanxin International Investment, and Wanda Electronics, etc., will be affected.
If the last Hong Kong Governor Peng Tingkang is angry and directly withdraws the award ceremony regardless of the consequences, then Song Zhichao, who has been deliberately praised by everyone, will not only become the laughing stock of the whole Hong Kong, but also the stock index of his listed companies will also plummet, so that those tigers and wolves will have a chance to take advantage of it.
But fortunately, Song Zhichao had already taken precautions.
Just when the Kang family and the Lin family secretly hyped that Song Zhichao was about to become the last Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, Song Zhichao "calculated what he planned" and used his relationship with the American "Time Magazine" to publicize this investiture ceremony, which was originally limited to Hong Kong, to foreign countries.
The British are all desperate for face, and they like to flaunt the so-called "gentlemanly demeanor" the most.
Therefore, Song Zhichao boldly guessed that Peng Dingkang would not be able to withstand the "pressure" from the United States and would continue the award ceremony.
Sure enough, Song Zhichao was right.
For Peng Dingkang, originally this was the world of his "Emperor of Hong Kong", and he could punish Song Zhichao as much as he wanted--- although Song Zhichao followed normal procedures and was the only candidate for Justice of the Peace, what if he refused to give him the title? Who dared to stand up and make a noise?
But it's the American birds.
In this era, the Americans are the masters of the British, not to mention that he is a little governor of Hong Kong, even the British Prime Minister has to look at the Yankees' face and do things.
At this time, if he Peng Dingkang insists on going his own way and continues to revoke the title of "Justice of the Peace" to Song Zhichao, it will undoubtedly become an international joke, and his old Peng will be embarrassed, and it will also make his dear British Empire lose face.
Not acting according to the law, not being trustworthy, not having a government without credit, etc., all these bad hats will be buckled on the head of the British Empire.
Lao Peng can't afford this crime.
After thinking about it, Peng Dingkang finally called Song Zhichao and said that tomorrow's "award ceremony" would continue.
It's very hot, but it's also very helpless.
......
Thinking of this, Song Zhichao lit a cigarette and suddenly felt very tired, is it that the higher the status, the more things can no longer be done as he wants? The so-called involvement of the whole body, the higher the status, the more we must consider the overall situation when doing things, and we must maximize the collective interests of the place we represent, but we can no longer act only by our own will.
In fact, how can many things in this world really go their own way?
is like this himself, and presumably so is Kang Yongren.
Thinking of this, Song Zhichao couldn't help laughing, and he didn't know what Kang Yongren was thinking at the moment--- was still thinking about the cancellation of his title ceremony tomorrow, so that he could lead the financial army and short his own stocks?
---Uh, stupid hanging!
