Chapter 172: Baron Kate
"Hehe! Baron Kate is a wise and enlightened governor!
I believe that Baron Kate will be able to make the citizens of Hong Kong remember your achievements. ”
"Thank you, and I also very much hope to be able to serve the people of Hong Kong in this last ten years, and finally hand over a prosperous and prosperous Hong Kong to the Chinese government. "Baron Kate was ecstatic, and the matter that troubled him was about to be solved perfectly.
"It's just that Xiangjiang is the Chinese of Xiangjiang, but its currency issuance power is controlled by the Bank of England, which has to be said to be a very embarrassing thing......"
"This ......" Baron Kate knew that this was a condition proposed by Zhang Wolf.
If you want to enter the Governor's Palace, you must first hand over the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.
Standard Chartered Bank is larger than HSBC in the UK, and Zhang Wolf is really a little difficult to swallow.
Negotiations have been going on for more than a month, but there has been no progress.
The shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, the proud British, would rather give up the banking business in Hong Kong than the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.
He refused to agree to Zhang Wolf's acquisition.
Although Zhang Wolf bought some stocks from the market, those stocks were too small for the entire Standard Chartered Bank, not even 5 percent, and it was impossible to initiate an acquisition on the stock market.
"This ......"
"This ......"
Baron Kate was speechless for a long time.
As a capitalist country, the government really doesn't have many good measures for domestic enterprises.
To put it bluntly, these politicians are the representatives of the capitalists.
Standard Chartered ignored him, and he couldn't do anything about it.
After all, he is only the Governor of Xiangjiang, not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
"Baron Kate, the Kate family is a veteran aristocrat in the UK, I believe Baron Kate must have a way to help me convince the arrogant and stubborn directors of Standard Chartered Bank!
Wholly acquire or surrender the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, choose one of the two, you know, I'm not short of money!
You tell them they can take the opportunity to stab me!" Zhang Wolf chuckled softly.
"Mr. Zhang, this matter is really not something I can control, I can only say that I used my family power to lobby the directors of Standard Chartered Bank as much as possible, but I dare not guarantee that it will be successful!"
"Baron Kate, your honesty has won my friendship!
Then I wish tomorrow night's cocktail party a success!
We Chinese are a hospitable people, this is a piece of jade, jade has a unique status in China, it symbolizes blessings, now I give it to Baron Kate as a testimony of our friendship, I wish Baron Kate a safe life!" Zhang Wolf smiled and handed Baron Kate a piece of exquisite jade carved from mutton fat white jade.
He also knew that Baron Kate alone would not be able to complete the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.
But it's also a help, so I don't plan to continue to embarrass Baron Kate.
This is an English aristocrat with an intelligibility, much cuter than the arrogant and stubborn Englishmen, and Zhang Wolf does not want to continue to change governors.
That would have strained him and the British government even more.
Speaking of which, when the British government agreed to his acquisition of HSBC, the Feng Shui Bureau should have been removed.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your blessings!" Baron Kate clutched the jade pendant and thanked him repeatedly.
What he values is not the value of the jade pendant, but Zhang Wolf's sentence of peace in life.
The mysterious ancient country of the East, his ancestors suffered losses in the East, and left a family motto, and he must not provoke the "wizards" of the East.
That's why he was so careful, in his opinion, Zhang Wolf was an existence like an Eastern "wizard".
Zhang Wolf guessed that Baron Kate didn't care about the jade pendant he sent, so he kindly reminded: "There is a saying in China that people raise jade for three years, and jade raises people for a lifetime."
The jade pendant must be worn with you to bless peace. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang! I will definitely wear it with me, even if I sleep!" Baron Kate saw a red rope on the jade pendant and brought it directly to his neck.
At the end of Marseille, Zhang Wolf said goodbye to Baron Kate and got into the car to return to his estate.
Sending Zhang Wolf away, Kate waved her fist excitedly.
"Let's go, go back and pack up your things, and move into the Governor's Palace today!" Baron Kate commanded his assistant.
"Mr. Kate, the matter of Feng Shui ......"
"Haha...... We'll move back to the Governor's Palace, and then arrange for someone to send out invitations, and I'm going to have a reception at the Governor's Palace tomorrow night!"
Stretched out his hand and touched the jade pendant on his chest, there is a pair of jade pendants on his chest, and I have the courage in the world!
When Zhang Wolf returned home, there were already people waiting for him at home.
"Lao Huo has been waiting for a long time! rude! rude!" Zhang Wolf, who was in a good mood, hugged his fist at the old man Huo.
"Hehe, it's my old man who came uninvited! Today I'm here to thank Zhang Sheng!" Old Man Huo was full of red light, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Wolf and thanked him.
Compared with other families in Xiangjiang, the Huo family will build the expressway, which is what I hope and the whole country wants!" Zhang Wolf returned the salute with a fist.
This time, the Huo family's efforts over the years have paid off.
The big cake of 100 billion US dollars, the Huo family bit a large piece hard.
One-tenth of the project is also enough for the Huo family to eat fat intestines, and since then they have completely entered the ranks of the top ten richest people in terms of wealth.
In the 50s, the Huo family helped the country transport war materials, in the 70s, they helped the country re-enter the Olympic Games, and in the 80s, they helped the country obtain the right to host the Asian Games in '90 and donated money to build the Asian Games Village.
Therefore, as soon as the old man Huo proposed to build a highway, the Huo family's industry also has the qualification to build a highway.
Deng Gongma said that under the same conditions, the Huo family can get priority.
The two exchanged polite expressions before sitting down again.
"Zhang Sheng, this time I came to express my gratitude to Zhang Sheng, and second, I want to ask Zhang Sheng's views on football. The Filipino maid made tea for the two of them again, and Old Man Huo took a sip before asking.
Mr. Fok is very passionate about football, he is the permanent honorary president of the Heung Kong Football Association, the president of the Dongsheng football team, and is also keen to participate in various sports affairs.
"What does Huo Lao mean?" asked Zhang Wolf with a smile.
In Zhang Sheng's current position, money is no longer the most important thing, and he should have some hobbies and participate in more public welfare activities after work.
For example, football, horse racing and other sports. ”
"Thank you Huo Lao for your advice, I also have such thoughts, I am still young, just as Huo Lao said, money can no longer be the whole of my life!
In the coming days, I plan to devote my energy to promoting the religious belief of the righteous gods, as well as various public welfare and sports undertakings. Zhang Wolf smiled and agreed.
There is an old Chinese saying that the tree beckons the wind, and Zhang Wolf is now not only a tree beckoning the wind, but a thunderbolt.
So Zhang Wolf plans to learn from the old Maozi Abu in the future.
