Duo Duo!

There was a knock on the door outside, the frequency was not slow, the sound was neither light nor heavy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But MacLehose felt his emotions, like the weather, getting hotter and more irritable, and impatiently shouted, "Come in!" ”

MacLeho has been in a state of pain and happiness lately, swaying back and forth.

In recent years, Hong Kong's economy has grown at a rapid rate of more than 20 percent every year, and the year before last year and last year it even reached a growth rate of breaking three, which is so fast that the whole world is amazed.

The British, for their part, have greatly appreciated his ability, and the royal family is already discussing knighthood for him.

However, while enjoying the benefits of rapid economic growth, we also have to face the rising inflation.

In a short period of time, billions of dollars have poured in, and small islands of more than 1,000 square kilometers are simply not capable of absorbing the micro-economies with a total population of just over 5 million. As a result, demand for consumer goods has surged, while supply has been insufficient, prices have risen, and inflation has reached record highs.

At the same time, the growth of wage levels has not followed the growth, and wage income has not kept pace with the increase in prices. As a result, economic development has led to a decline in the quality of life of citizens, a widening gap between the rich and the poor, and an increasingly difficult situation in people's livelihood.

While continuing to stimulate economic growth, while stabilizing prices and appeasing public grievances, MacLehose has been tormenting back and forth between heaven and earth these days.

Constantly hearing all kinds of good and bad information, and his mood also hovering back and forth between excitement and frustration and anger, his mood fluctuated greatly, even if he relied on his extraordinary will to forcibly restrain it, but it was inevitable that his tone would be a little irritable when he spoke.

The door opened, and in came the Deputy Chief Secretary for Special Affairs.

Of course, he is also pure British.

Since the opening of the port, all high-level positions in the British authorities in Hong Kong have been held by British. The Chinese could only serve as clerks for the rest of their lives, and at most they could be given the false title of Justice of the Peace when they retired, as a reward for their loyal service to the British in Hong Kong.

Seeing his arrival, MacLehose felt that the whole person was not good.

The deputy director in charge of special affairs is the head of an open intelligence organization in Hong Kong. Through the Political Department, he was authorized to use the secrets; Detectives infiltrated various departments and institutions to carry out activities such as intelligence gathering, secret arrest and interrogation, and his arrival must have been about something that made people feel uncomfortable, which really made him feel very unpleasant.

"What's the matter?" He asked with a tired look as he took off his glasses.

"Sir, sorry to bother you!" The deputy director bowed slightly, asked a straight question, and then went straight to the point, "Our intelligence officers received news that Taiyu Technology was secretly selling their assets, and within a week, they had sold half of the commercial building and six commercial floors, and quietly released nearly 300 million shares on the stock market. In addition, they are actively operating venture capital holding companies to be listed, and today the HKMA has received their formal applications. ”

The other party reported the information he had collected to his superiors in an official manner, but simply narrated the facts, not mixed with their analysis.

MacLehose's eyes suddenly condensed, and his face became very serious.

After the handover in the establishment of the electronics industrial park, Taiyu Technology is no longer just a simple profit-making organization in the Hong Kong government, but regards it as another pronunciation channel for the mainland in Hong Kong affairs, and attaches importance to it. The affairs related to it were separated from the executive branch and handed over to the responsible Political Department, which is the deputy director of the Department of Special Affairs, who is responsible for special affairs.

After learning that Guan Fei was actually a big warlord, this kind of monitoring was not only not reduced, but strengthened.

Now that the deputy director has reported to him the latest movements of Taewoo, it is such amazing news, he naturally can't treat it with an idle attitude.

MacLeho sat up straight in his chair, his hands resting on his chin, and according to the deputy director's report, his brain raced sharply to try to analyze it. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and asked cautiously, "What is your analysis on this matter?" ”

"According to my investigation, it seems that the other party is raising a lot of money. When secretly selling assets, the other party's conversation with the buyer reflected that Guan Fei was very short of money, so he asked them to sell all their real estate, stocks and other investments to support his capital needs for ruling the territory. Due to the large amount of money requested, they not only sold real estate and stocks for cash, but also rushed to put several companies they controlled on the stock market to raise more funds......

Hearing this, MacLehose subconsciously wanted to veto, but the other party's next words made him temporarily change his mind.

"......, according to not very accurate information, Guan Fei is very short of money, and it seems that it is not enough to just sell the real estate and stocks and release the holding company. So if the response to this listing is good, they are interested in listing Taiyu Technology as well to raise more funds! At the end, the other party accentuated his tone.

"What? You're not wrong, let Taewoo go public? Thinking that he had misheard, MacLehose immediately raised his voice and was shocked in disbelief.

Taiyu Technology is making money now, and it is no longer a chicken that lays golden eggs, it is a golden chicken itself.

Since its rise, there has been an endless stream of financial institutions, companies, and individuals who want to invest in Taiwoo and become shareholders. However, their request for shareholding was resolutely rejected by the other party, which made all institutions and individuals who wanted to take advantage of the other party's east wind and get a piece of the pie regretted.

Among them, there is the Hong Kong government.

If it were not for the mainland standing behind it, many powerful forces would not hesitate to use administrative force to exert pressure on it, and they would also forcibly buy shares.

And now, the opportunity that everyone couldn't ask for appeared without warning, no wonder MacLehose was suspicious of his ears.

There was also a hint of a smile in the deputy director's meticulous expression: "Sir, you heard it right, they seem to be intent on listing Taewoo and then releasing a part of the shares to raise a lot of money from the stock market." But it is certain that they will never give up their controlling stake. ”

“…… Release of shares ......"

MacLehose thought for a while, all kinds of thoughts swirled in his head, and he couldn't grasp the essentials for a while, so he put it aside first, hoping to get more information that would be conducive to making a judgment, and continued to ask: "What else does the other party do besides this matter?" ”

"Okay." The deputy director took out a notepad from his pocket, opened it, and said in a serious manner to the record on it, "The negotiations between Taiyu Technology and Motorola have entered the substantive link, and the two sides have exchanged two technologies; The latest fighting arcade games, the number of exports has rebounded to the original level, and it is expected to recover to the upper limit of 50,000 next month; They are quietly supplying processors to various manufacturers through Suteng Commerce, and the price is still the same as that of Motorola 6502, and they are still selling out at $25 a piece; From Shenzhen came a lot of containers, did not go through warehousing transit, directly on the dock, the destination is Europe, America, Asia and other places, after we boarded, while they were not strictly guarded, after opening the container, found that it was loaded with a portable game machine, obviously they opened up a new business project. This time, instead of going through an agency, they shipped around the world themselves, apparently trying to make a fortune when there were no pirates. ……”

One by one, he used the undulating tone of the tablet to read out all the actions of Taiyu Technology in Hong Kong, including all the actions of the high-level, even when to eat breakfast and when to sleep, which shows how closely they monitor Taiyu.

This level of surveillance is not inferior to that of mainland government agencies in Hong Kong.

And it also includes records of Taewoo's phone calls, and many of the private conversations of senior executives on the phone have been recorded by them. From these conversations, we have heard many times that they said that they "can only hold out until the middle of this month, and at most the beginning of next month", and it can be confirmed that there is indeed a shortage of funds in the area controlled by Guan Fei, and it is urgent for Hong Kong companies to transfuse blood to them.

Since Guan Fei is a warlord and has just expanded his territory, he must be busy expanding his army now, and it is completely reasonable to need a large amount of money to buy weapons and ammunition.

And this is also the best time to do it to Guan Fei!

Should Taiyu's company in Hong Kong be seized immediately, their business activities stopped, and Guan Fei's source of funds cut off?

Thinking about the humiliation he suffered in the electronics industrial park, for a moment, MacLehose's order was already on his lips, but he still resisted this great temptation and swallowed it.

As a qualified politician, there is no point in venting your emotions out of boredom.

If it is a small warlord in other ordinary places, he will do it, and the other party will have no choice but to stare dryly. But Guan Fei is different, he has the mainland behind him, and if he provokes the other side, the situation will become very serious, and the proposal for a change of sovereignty and governance that the Hong Kong government has been trying to reach may completely fail.

This responsibility, he could not afford.

Until now, he still felt that it was possible to change sovereignty and keep the New Territories under the rule of the Hong Kong government, so he did not dare to turn against the mainland.

Britain and the Hong Kong government believe that Hong Kong is the only channel for the mainland to communicate with the West and for materials, technology, equipment, and capital to enter and exit.

Now that the mainland has turned to reform and opening up, Hong Kong's position has become even more important.

If the mainland takes back Hong Kong, then this last channel will also be lost, and there will be no ambiguous area for exchanges with the West in the future, and once it is blocked, it will fall into a state of complete isolation.

Therefore, they feel that the mainland is definitely still inclined to maintain the status quo, but in the face of public opinion, there is a lack of a step. The reason why the Hong Kong government has made a big splash through public opinion is to give the mainland a step so that they can explain to the people: we have taken back our sovereignty, but the local people are unwilling to come back, and Britain has done a good job in Hong Kong, and the economy is developing rapidly, so it is okay for them to continue to govern Hong Kong in order to respect public opinion.

This is of course wishful thinking on the part of the Hong Kong government, but in their view of the attitude of the British towards the colonies, they do not think that this idea is ridiculous, but they take it very seriously, and really think that there is considerable control and success in it.

Just like the mainland throws a mouse at Hong Kong, they are also scruples in the face of Taiyu, and they dare not tear their faces and act like they do with those insignificant small forces.

Then we must consider from the perspective of pure interests, and make a decision on what are the pros and cons of letting Taiyu Technology go public for the Hong Kong government.

The disadvantage is that Taewoo can circle more money in the stock market and accelerate the development of his power. If his force is too strong, it is really possible to overthrow the current regime and turn to the mainland in an all-round way, so that the mainland has access to the Indian Sea.

So what about the benefits?

The advantage is to cede a part of the controlling stake and let other forces infiltrate Taewoo's decision-making circle.

Even if the transferred equity is less than half, it must be supervised by shareholders, and a general meeting of shareholders must be held before major decisions are made. Moreover, with Hong Kong Ying's proficiency in capital operation, there will always be opportunities to seek more equity little by little, and even overthrow the original management in the end, turning it into a tool for the Hong Kong government to make profits.

On the other hand, after listing, the main business and business decisions must be made public to the public, including competitors, and there can be no surprise attacks, so that the Hong Kong government and British-funded rivals can know their movements in advance, make arrangements in advance, and make profits from them. Like now, openly withdrawing funds to support his armed forces, it will not work after listing, and each withdrawal of funds must be approved by the resolution of the shareholders' meeting before it can be carried out, even if Guan Fei relies on his identity as a major shareholder to pass every time, it will take a lot of effort.

And now, such a blatant transfer of benefits to affiliated enterprises must be stopped after listing, and it also needs to be approved by the shareholders' meeting, otherwise it can only be done secretly and privately.

This gives the Hong Kong government a reason to meddle in its management, and it can also cut off its source of funding. With the Hong Kong government's skillful-stirring skills, stirring up and down in it, maybe it can break up the alliance that Taiyu has kneaded with interests, and even make those small and medium-sized operators turn against Taiyu.

After going public, you can also use the fluctuation of stock prices to force Taiyu and make him subject to greater pressure from public opinion. By controlling public opinion and using obligations and responsibilities to guide citizens to make judgments that are unfavorable to Taiyu, its business activities will be more resisted, and it will be forced to follow the rules set by the Hong Kong government and dance in shackles.

The pros and cons are clear, it depends on how he chooses.

MacLehose held his chin in his hand, listening to the deputy director's report without any ups and downs, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his eyes were deep, and he fell into deep thought.
