When Wei Xiong returned to Hong Kong, the New York Times devoted half a page to Wei Xiong's interview. According to the agreement, Wei Xiong has read the finished draft.

The contents are the same as posted.

Seriously, Wei Xiong was very satisfied with the finished manuscript, and not only did he embellish Wei Xiong's words to make them look more appropriate and more acceptable to readers.

Angelina, who was an exclusive reporter, added some statements and comments.

It's not very straightforward, though.

But there is a faint appreciation for Wei Xiong in and out of the words. Obviously, Angelina remembered the ups and downs of the two that day.

This interview and previous reports on donations have caused a lot of repercussions in the United States.

Many people agree with Wei Xiong's words-

Since it complies with US federal law and market rules, then Wei Xiong is not wrong, and if you want to blame it, you must also blame the US economy and the US government.

Because the United States was founded on commerce.

There is no reason to accuse anyone of reasonable business practices. Even if this person is not an American, no matter how much money he makes from the United States.

Of course, not everyone is so sane.

Many people are still unable to change their minds, and the tragic loss requires them to find a purpose in their hearts to vent their anger.

And Wei Xiong, as an outsider and a direct beneficiary, is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for the attitude towards Wei Xiong's donation.

As Wei Xiong said-

He can do without any gratitude, but please don't take it for granted, nothing in this world is taken for granted.

This philosophical sentence has gained more recognition.

Especially for vulnerable groups, including blacks, because of the interview, Wei Xiong showed concern and sympathy for black people and other vulnerable groups.

It is also implied that the two foundations are more inclined towards vulnerable groups such as blacks.

generally

The two reports have achieved good results, at least reducing the number of people who hate him, and they have also gained a lot of support, and the harvest is still very large.

After returning to Hong Kong,

Wei Xiong immediately threw himself into the work.

After nearly two months of work, the takeover and formation of Jaguar Automobile Group has basically ended, and its companies are gradually on the right track.

New projects are also being launched.

Secondly, the British Power Grid Corporation has also successfully completed the takeover, and the upgrade of Manchester Power Grid has been officially put on the agenda.

And then there's the British infrastructure group,

This is a company specially formed for the construction of London Underground Line 8, the company has just established the framework, and it is still a long way from the start of Line 8.

Finally, there is the British company General Electric.

This is the company that Weixiong values the most, and it is also the focus of Gu Guofu's work in the UK.

In the last almost two months.

The president of the British General Electric Company was removed and replaced by Mak Chun-yang, a Hong Kong-American who graduated from Stanford University and later worked in the United States.

Previously, he was senior vice president of McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company.

After the acquisition of General Electric in the United Kingdom,

Wei's Holdings entrusted a headhunter to find a suitable candidate, and soon after, the list of candidates for the headhunter was sent to Wei Xiong.

There are 18 people in total.

Positions range from project manager to group president.

After some careful consideration, Wei Xiong selected 6 people from the list and specially took a day to interview these 6 people in person.

It is worthy of the senior talents recruited by headhunting companies.

It can be seen from the words alone that these six people are all excellent, and in the end, Wei Xiong chose Mak Junyang, who served as senior vice president at McDonnell Douglas, as the new president.

The remaining five will also go to the UK with those who have been removed from its companies.

Serve as the middle and senior leaders of the company.

However, after the selection was confirmed, Wei Xiong called Joseph, because the Rockefeller family was the largest shareholder in McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company.

It is worth mentioning that before Mai Junyang went to the UK to take office,

They had a long conversation.

The content mainly revolves around the future development of the company.

At present, the company's business scope includes: steam turbine generator set, gas turbine generator set, diesel generator set, switch, transformer,

Cables, Elevators & Transportation Engineering,

Office equipment, communication systems, instruments, aerospace radar systems, magnetic resonance imaging machines, household appliances, lighting equipment, etc.

In addition, there are three scientific research institutions: the Hearst Research Center, the Marconi Research Center and the Engineering Research Center.

The Hearst Research Center focuses on electrical materials, electronic physics, and high-melting heat-resistant alloys.

The Marconi Research Center mainly researches electronic equipment such as communication equipment and radar.

The Engineering Research Center mainly researches automatic control equipment and steam turbines, gas turbines, diesel engines, and power generation equipment with these three engines as the core.

And among the company's many products.

The most advanced is the military radar system, which is the leading in the world.

According to Wei Xiong's request.

In the future, the company should increase financial support for the Marconi Research Center and the Engineering Research Center, and the Hearst Research Center can be appropriately relaxed.

At the same time, Wei Xiong also talked about the idea of setting up a new R&D center in Hong Kong.

Mak Junyang didn't think too much about it.

thought that Wei Xiong simply wanted to promote the speed of Hong Kong's industrial transformation, and said that after taking office, he would carefully study the requirements put forward by Wei Xiong.

And the first thing Mak Junyang did when he took office was to remove some middle and senior leaders.

Although this brought some shocks, it also took control of the company in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, an internal notice was issued.

It is stated that this round of personnel adjustments is only for administrative personnel, excluding scientific and technical personnel, and the company will not lay off employees in the foreseeable future.

The British government objected to Mak Junyang's actions.

Previously, General Electric was a wholly-owned state-owned enterprise.

Naturally, the top management personnel were also appointed by the government, and now that they have all been removed at once, it is inevitable that people will be unhappy in their hearts.

But Nychsler has acquired a controlling stake in Britain's General Electric.

Building your own management team is a matter of course.

The British government has no reason to object.

What's more, the British government and Wei Xiong are currently in the honeymoon period, if they have a dispute with Wei Xiong because of these foregone conclusions,

It's more than worth the loss.

Soon after, the British government sold its remaining 34.2% stake in GM.

Straight out of sight.

He was succeeded by Gerald Grosvenor.

This man is the current patriarch of the Grosvenor family, has a close relationship with the British royal family, and holds the title of Duke of Westminster in the sixth generation.

In the family, the first Duke of Westminster served as the head of the royal family.

He is an important member of the British royal family.

And his wife is Prince William's godmother, and she is also a close friend of Prince Charles.

But it's not small.

In fact, before Wei Xiong's request was to wholly acquire the British General Electric Company.

The British, however, were clearly wary of him.

Even the huge temptation of his huge investment and $20 billion loan could not dispel their wariness.

In the end, only 65.8% of the shares were sold to him.

This is still what Gu Guofu tried his best to fight for during the negotiations.

Although Webster Holdings has a controlling stake in the British General Electric Company, only 34.2% of the shares remain, which has no big impact on the overall situation.

But it can be like a nail.

Tightly nailed inside the company.

It has left a back door for the British government to monitor the British General Electric Company, and also prepared a powerful helper for possible administrative interference in the future.

These Wei Xiong are very clear, but there is nothing they can do.

Hong Kong.

As soon as the Spring Festival holiday ended, the High Court of Hong Kong pronounced a verdict on the case of Huang Yuklang for falsifying accounts, and sentenced him to four years and three months in prison

Huang Yulang appealed in court.

The court accepted the appeal but revoked Wong's bail.

Then the board of directors of Tiantian Newspaper Group approved the capital increase plan in the absence of Huang Yulang.

Huang Yulang's stake immediately dropped from 37.44% to 8.63%, which made Huang Yulang, who was squatting in the detention center, almost go crazy.

After the implementation of the capital increase plan,

The case has also entered the second instance stage.

The daily newspaper group (formerly Yulang International), a subsidiary of Webster Media, which has been suspended for two months, has also resumed trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

By the end of the afternoon stock market.

The strong rise of 37.8% in the daily newspaper group immediately stunned everyone, and the reason is still Wei Xiong's super popularity in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Tiantian Newspaper Group is Weixiong's first listed company in Hong Kong.

Investors are naturally enthusiastic.

And when Huang Yulang knew the increase on the first day of the resumption of the daily newspaper group, he was even more angry and scolded Wei Xiong for being despicable on the spot, the reason is very simple.

Wei Xiong had apparently expected the stock to rise sharply.

Therefore, before the resumption of the market, he specially passed a capital increase plan to prevent him from profiting from the stock surge, which was such a short time difference.

He made tens of millions less.

And that's just the beginning.

In the coming days, it is clear that the share price of Tian Tian Bao Group will continue to rise. Furthermore, with the daily newspaper group receiving the capital increase of Wei Xiong,

In addition, there is the golden sign of Weixiong, and the resources in his hands.

The Group's development will be on the fast track.

If he can keep his original shares, he will undoubtedly gain huge financial benefits, even if he is actually sentenced to prison in the end.

In the future, after being released from prison, there will be greater capital to make a comeback.

Can ...... now

A few happy and a few worried, Wei Xiong learned that when the market closed, the final price of the stock, he smiled knowingly, just as Huang Yulang thought,

This is just the beginning.

And he will use other means in the future to continue to dilute Huang Yulang's shares.

This is what offends him.

Glancing at Monica, Wei Yixin smiled and said teasingly: "Mr. Wei is really a model for my generation, and he is really enviable." ”

"Mr. Governor's Chinese is getting better and better. ”

Wei Yi credit's Chinese.

Compared with the first time the two met, Wilson's Chinese has improved a lot in just a few months, but for some reason, he did not learn Cantonese.

I think it's just a little bit more understandable.

"I wonder what I just said, Mr. Governor, thinking about it?"

"The land you want to buy is located in Yuen Long, New Territories, which is far away from the urban area and relatively backward in all aspects, so it is okay to sell it to you in principle. ”

"But I'm curious what you're buying such a big piece of land for, do you want to build another manor?"

Before the Spring Festival,

The construction of Wei Xiong's large private estate in Clear Water Bay has officially begun, and there were many media who paid attention to it at that time, and some media mixed into the construction site.

Wei Xiong wanted to strengthen the security of the construction site.

But now is only the beginning of construction,

And the area is so large, even if 100 additional security patrols are added, they can't stop the scheming Hong Kong paparazzi, so they have no choice but to give up.

"Of course not. ”

"I plan to set up a car production line in Hong Kong, and although the labor cost in Hong Kong is not small, it is still a lot different from that in the UK. ”

"This alone can reduce costs by a large margin. ”

"In addition, some non-core components can also be sourced nearby, which will definitely be cheaper than in the UK. All in all, the cost will be greatly reduced. ”

"Once the car is produced, it will be sold mainly in Asia. ”

"For example, in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, this saves a lot of long-distance ocean freight costs. What do you say, Mr. Governor. ”

"It's a really good idea. ”

Wilson nodded thoughtfully.

"But it's just one production line, it doesn't have to be so big, the land area you want can fit five production lines. ”

"For a production line, it's a bit bigger. ”

"But I have to think about the future. ”

"A production line is just the first phase of the project, and if everything goes well, I will start more projects in the future, and such projects are already in my mind. ”

"Mr. Wei really does what he says. ”

"As the Governor of Hong Kong, I am also pleased to see Hong Kong's economic transformation smoothly. ”

"Well, I'll say hello to the Lands Department. ”

Wilson eventually agreed to Wai Hung's request for a 428-hectare plot of land in Yuen Long, New Territories, adjacent to Shenzhen Bay.

That's six times the size of his private estate.

If Hong Kong always belongs to the United Kingdom, for the sake of Hong Kong's long-term development,

It is impossible for Wei Yixin to sell such a huge piece of land to Wei Xiong, because this is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, but the current reality is-

Hong Kong will return to China in nine years.

In other words, in a few years they will be patting their butts and leaving, and they could not be more happy to leave a mess for China.

In addition, the UK can now take away tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars a year from Hong Kong.

As you can imagine,

In the next few years, the British government in Hong Kong headed by Wilson will definitely step up its efforts to scrape Hong Kong, and sell this land to Wei Xiong to get a lot of money.

"Let's play another game?"

"Glad to be there. ”

Wei Xiong smiled and picked up the club next to him.

He is a good golfer and has been one of the Wilson friends since the first time we played together, often playing together.

Just like today.

The matter of buying land is just a matter of 'passing'.

With a hard swing, the white golf ball crossed a large parabola and flew into the distance, quickly disappearing from view.

Mr. Wei is getting smoother and smoother. ”

Wilson gestured to an electric car not far away.

As a hardcore amateur golfer, he can already judge the approximate landing point of the ball just by looking at the parabola and direction of the ball.

And Wei Xiong's kick-off is obviously much better than him.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Wei, I didn't expect such a coincidence. ”

Just then, a voice rang out.

Wei Xiong turned his head to see a man in his mid-thirties, wearing a golf suit, who looked quite personable, and was blocked a few meters away by his bodyguards.

He could be sure that he didn't know the man.

At the same time, Wilson also looked at the man, and then at Wei Xiong, because the man's attention was clearly on Wei Xiong.

"What is this gentleman called?"

The area where they are now is the VIP area of the stadium, and those who can come here to play are at least worth a little, so Wei Xiong's tone is quite polite.

"My name is Qian Yimin, and I am the chairman and president of Yimin Electronics. ”

Yimin Electronics Company?

Haven't heard of it.

Despite this, Wei Xiong still smiled politely, and then said: "It turned out to be Mr. Qian, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll miss it first." ”

"If Mr. Qian has something to talk about in business,"

"You can go to my company. ”

After speaking, Wei Xiong was about to get into the car with Wei Yixin.

"Mr. Wei, wait a minute, I'm Cui Muqing's ex-boyfriend. In a hurry, Qian Yimin hurriedly squeezed forward, and shouted at the same time.

"You said you were Sister Qing's ex-boyfriend?

Wei Xiong looked at Qian Yimin and said lightly.

"That's right. ”

Qian Yimin's face was a little unsightly.

"Mr. Wei, I'll go to the front first, and you can talk. At this time, Wei Yixin on the side had already seen something and said with a smile.

After Wilson leaves,

Wei Xiong sat back in the chair before, glanced at Qian Yimin, and said lightly, "Let him come over." ”

The bodyguard then retreated.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Looking at Wei Xiong's cold and disdainful attitude, Qian Yimin was a little annoyed, but the difference between him and Wei Xiong was too far, and he was asking for someone today.

So I can only keep the fire in my heart.

In other words, he originally asked a senior executive of Hang Seng Bank to play here today.

At present, I hope to get a loan.

But as soon as he spoke, the senior executive of the Hang Seng Bank used the excuse of temporary affairs as an excuse to flash people, and he was so angry that he directly put the club on the ground.

After a while, I reluctantly accepted the reality.

Just when I want to leave,

He saw Wei Xiong and Wei Yixin, and almost in a matter of seconds, he made a decision - Wei Xiong is the chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank.

"I want to borrow 50 million Hong Kong dollars from Standard Chartered Bank. ”

"Loans?"

"If you want a loan, you go directly to the bank, what are you looking for me?" For this man who hurt Cui Muqing, Wei Xiong will not have a good face.

"Besides, there are many banks in Hong Kong, why do you bother to ask me for a loan. ”

After speaking, Wei Xiong stood up,

He didn't have time to chat with this scumbag.

"Mr. Wei, please wait, my company is now in a bit of a difficult financial situation, so ...... But don't worry, as long as you're willing to lend me a loan,"

"It's going to get better soon. ”

Wei Xiong's heart suddenly changed.

It turned out that the company was about to go bankrupt, and other banks were unwilling to lend to him, so they wanted to ask him for a loan.

"Heh, why should I lend you a loan?"
