To be honest, Carla is not very unfamiliar with this environment.

She comes from a wealthy family, and her father, André Beneteau, is also a French billionaire.

Even if it is paralyzed, it was only a few years ago.

Growing up, it coincided with the glory days of the Beneteau family.

She is a new generation that has grown up eating family dividends.

In France, she has also attended similar banquets many times.

But at the banquet she attended, the level of guests had never been so high.

The consul general of the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong helped open the door, surrounded by the wealthiest businessmen in the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong Island, and many of the characters who were big names even in France greeted them with smiles.

The point is that this is not the United States, not Abel Smith's home turf.

Even here it is, Carla can't imagine if it were in the United States, if it was at Abel's home turf.

What kind of scene will Abel's appearance and reception be.

Just thinking about it, Carla felt that it must be very grand, and it must be very in line with the powerful scene she imagined.

Thinking of this, Miss Beneteau couldn't help but think about it, and with a smile on her face, she let Abel put her arms around her waist.

The two of them struck a few intimate poses close to each other, satisfying the requests of the royal reporters.

Carla knew that just the shots of these photos would be enough for her to sell a few more yachts on Hong Kong Island and even in Asia in the future.

The premise is that their jobs are transferred from the U.S. to the direction of Asia.

Is it necessary?

He looked up at the man who was taller than himself.

Carla felt that it seemed more important to hold on to this man than the performance of the regional sales director of the yachting company of the Beneteau Group.

"Mr. Smith, this way, please."

With a smile on his face, Gao Lesheng welcomed Abel into the center of tonight's banquet and gave him a microphone according to the process.

Abel took advantage of the situation to let Karla go and took the microphone handed over by the U.S. Consul General.

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Abel Smith. It is a pleasure to be on Hong Kong Island and to be part of one of Asia's most prosperous cities and one of the world's most famous metropolises. ”

"I've been here for three days now. I have a feeling about this city that I don't want to leave when I come. In this vibrant city, I feel energetic, free and efficient. ”

"This is a wonderful place to live and study. At the same time, after three days of understanding, I personally think that Hong Kong Island has an excellent and stable business environment, hardworking and intelligent people. people, a fair and reasonable tax system, a strong rule of law, efficient infrastructure, convenient transportation, beautiful natural scenery, delicious food, ......"

"It's great to be a city where East meets West, with an East-meets-West lifestyle and food from all over the world. I love the café on Hong Kong Island and the dim sum here. ”

When Abel said this, standing beside the smiling Yi Guan, the son of the old man, Yi Ting, whispered to his father:

"Looks like he really likes to eat. I heard that he has a team of world-famous chefs, including top chefs from the mainland...... On the first day of coming to our Hong Kong Island, we will have dim sum in a tea restaurant, father, maybe we can let the mainland make a breakthrough from this point. Oh, and he also likes beautiful women, maybe ......"

Yi Yiguan smiled, his expression remained unchanged, but his voice was serious: "Silence." ”

With a calm word, the majestic Herb Dashao on Hong Kong Island closed his mouth obediently.

However, Lao Wei's heart became active, looking at Abel's handsome ghost face, and the glamorous Calla next to him.

Lao Yi suddenly felt that his son's proposal seemed to have a certain degree of operability.

He decided to speak later to the leaders of the north.

“…… The geographical location of Hong Kong is strategic, and as a bridge connecting China with the world, it provides a lot of convenience for international companies. ”

"For this reason, I plan to extend the Smiths Financial Group business here in the near future, because I love the city."

"Hong Kong has a unique charm in my heart, and it will not change, and I believe that the future of Hong Kong Island will be better."

After a cliché, Able smiled and put down the microphone.

As soon as he made a gesture to end his speech, many people immediately began to applaud vigorously.

For a while, the applause was shocking.

A group of bigwigs who are stamping their feet in the Hong Kong Olympics and can cause earthquakes in the industry are all applauding wildly at the moment.

Because the speech of the world's richest man just now is too much for Hong Kong Island.

Almost all of the content is praising Xiangjiang.

If Abel Smith's words appeared in the newspaper, they were all similar news headlines such as "The world's richest man is optimistic about Hong Kong Island", "Hong Kong Island's future is infinitely wonderful", "A city that even the god of investment is optimistic about" and so on.

If these news can appear in foreign media, it is estimated that it will increase the tourism industry on Hong Kong Island by several percentage points.

It may even have a certain effect on boosting the stock market on Hong Kong Island and the property market on Hong Kong Island.

It has really helped to raise the international profile of Hong Kong.

And to improve these, for these powerful people and celebrities in the city in front of them, it is almost putting gold on their faces.

Let them make more money, make their company more valuable, and the value of the property in their name is higher......

Reciprocated, and everyone did it.

Then these Xiangjiang people, of course, will not lack praise for Abel.

Not to mention not considering these.

Wouldn't it be even more beautiful if the richest man in the world could look up to him and cooperate with each other?

The only two who are not so comfortable are Ander Boehner and Nathan De Funeso.

Because during the day, the two of them discussed with Abel in a good voice, but this kind of content was not the content.

Especially Gao Lesheng, in order to persuade Abel, he was unusually tactful during the day, and he didn't know how many brain cells he had consumed.

As a result, in the evening, they created such an occasion for Abel.

But Abel said something like this—

And what they hope Abel said is actually to raise and then suppress Hong Kong Island.

How to promote first and then suppress the law?

According to the requirements of Gao Lesheng and Nathan De Funeso, Abel should first praise all aspects of Hong Kong Island and say a good word first, which is similar to what Abel just said.

But the difference is that you have to toss and turn a little more later.

The future of Hong Kong Island may not develop well due to some reasons, so I am worried about Yunyun......

As for why it didn't develop well, why I was worried and so on.

Of course, it is as subtle as possible, but it must be obvious and reminiscent, and these "difficulties" and "problems" that "suppress" the development of Hong Kong Island will be blamed on the north.

Let these people as much as possible, and centrifuge to the north.

In this way, the work of the two of them will become very good.

But now, Abel ended his speech.

The "suppression" in the back is not a single one.

Gao Lesheng's mouth opened, wanting to remind Abel, but looked at Abel's calm face.

In the end, the consul general did not speak.

This excellent diplomat knows that the richest man in the world in front of him is not the same as the average rich American.

Not to mention that the other party is the core figure of the Texas consortium.

The mere fact that the other party has a great relationship with the White House is enough to offset his own deterrence against him.

What's more, even ordinary American tycoons, as long as they don't hurt the core interests of the United States, they don't say whatever they want.

The other party didn't want to cooperate, Gao Lesheng knew that his good voice during the day was useless, then there was really no way.

Gao Le Shengdu is like this, and Nathan De Funeso, who was angry with Abel not long ago, of course, does not dare to be verbose.

The current situation is that the heads of the two major US agencies in Hong Kong, even if Abel released them once and demolished their platform.

But they all had smiling faces at each other, and they didn't even have the slightest way to fight back.

In the United States, many times capital or consortium is really doing whatever it wants.

The earth-shattering applause lasted for two or three minutes before it ended, and the banquet officially began.

"Mr. Smith, we ......"

Gao Lesheng made a look of desire to speak to Abel.

This is the last effort made by Mr. Consul General.

"That's your job. It's not my job. Abel who demolished the stage didn't care:

"I would like to remind two gentlemen, and that is that I have a lot of investment in Huaxia. So...... You get the idea. ”

Fake, forget that.

This guy is a businessman, he only wants to be mercenary.

He has a large amount of investment in the mainland, so of course he will not offend the mainland on the surface.

Gao Lesheng figured it out in his heart and smiled:

"Hahaha...... I understand, okay. Mr. Smith, I understand. ”

Nathan De Funeso didn't understand.

Because his boss had told Abel Smith that he would do some work with them ClA.

Is this what it looks like to work with ClA?

Now Nathan Defuneso has a little hatred for Abel, and he is completely helpless.

The ClA, which is in charge of foreign affairs in the United States, has a very large initiative, and sometimes even dares to take action against some American tycoons abroad.

Konathan De Funeso knew that the gentleman in front of him was no ordinary rich American man.

Not to mention the identity of its consortium, as far as Nathan de Funeso knows.

His former boss, Mr. ClA, had recently started working as a special counsel for a Texas-based company called Rock Security.

The son of the current director, Mr. Smith Financial Group, soon joined the Smith Financial Group......

Not to mention, the old people of ClA know that there was once a U.S. commander-in-chief, and he served as the boss of ClA agents.

If he didn't know this, Nathan Defuneso might still be very unhappy in his heart, and he might still have some ideas.

But Nathan, who knows all about these things, thinks that even if Abel scraps the entire system of ClA on Hong Kong Island, there is a high probability that there will not be any big turmoil......

That's true of Gallos, so it is with Nathan de Funeso.

Two of the most powerful figures in the United States in Hong Kong are facing Abel like this.

Abel is here, of course, doing whatever he wants.

Nathan De Funeso didn't dare to be bored anymore, and the intelligence chief didn't dare to mess with Abel, so he could only go on with his work.

In the same way, Gao Le Sheng began to leave to entertain other guests.

Although the Taiwan was demolished, it did not achieve the effect that Mr. Consul General wanted.

But the social interaction that should be there and the influence that should radiate out can still continue to operate.

As for Abel, Gao Lesheng has given up and let the world's richest man play as he wants.

Mr. Consul General doesn't care anymore.

As soon as Gao Lesheng left, Abel saw that Yi Guan immediately came over with a group of people.

Abel stood with a smile, and Karla stood beside him, watching a vote of Chinese people walk in front of him.

She had seen the short old man, whose identity she had not known before.

I did a lot of homework during the day today.

Carla now knows that this old man is one of the most powerful people in the city of Hong Kong Island.

"Oh, Mr. Smith. Good evening, what you just said is so good. Thank you very much for your comments on Hong Kong Island, which makes us proud, and we will definitely make the future of Hong Kong Island even better! ”

Yi Yiguan's opening remarks were very official, and he did not hide his identity as the representative of the north in the slightest.

In fact, there is no cover-up, in fact, the whole Hong Kong Island, and even the whole world, know about it......

He himself was also because of this identity, and he was suppressed by the British before 97.

It is more than 30 years of suppression, and it is really not easy.

Abel smiled slightly and looked at the people beside Yi Guan.

"Good evening, Mr. Henry. I just felt it, and that's why I have this compliment. Well...... Don't you tell me about these gentlemen and ladies around you? ”

These people are obviously not those wealthy people on Hong Kong Island, because Abel knows who is Cucumber Lee.

And in his sight, the group of cucumber and plum were looking enviously from a distance.

"Allow me to introduce you to it."

Yi Guan smiled and began to introduce Abel.

"This is the General Manager of Chung Country Bank on Hong Kong Island, Mr. John Win."

"This is Mr. Jordan Wang, general manager of Hong Kong Island Runhua Company."

"This is Mr. Henry Lam, the general manager of Hong Kong Island Kung Commercial Bank."

"This is the ...... of Hong Kong Island"

The positions of these people introduced by Yi Yiguan immediately let Abel know.

The person in front of him should be the core force of the north on the Hong Kong side.

However, most of them he didn't know, and he didn't recognize any of the future bigwigs.

Only when Yi Yiguan introduced the general manager of a Huaxia mainland company, Abel couldn't help but look at the other party more.

This person's name is Ren Zhengfu, and he is the founder and general manager of a Pengcheng communication technology company.

He brought a female companion to the banquet tonight, the female companion was very young, and the official introduced it as Ren's daughter, surnamed Meng ......

"I've heard of you. Mr. Ren, it seems that Motorola is negotiating with your company. Mr. Ren, maybe you could consider talking to Qualcomm? Believe me, Mr. Jacob is very interested in your company's technology. ”

Abel showed much more attention to Ren and his daughter Meng than the other officials introduced to the Chinese.

This put everyone's attention on Ren, who was talking to Abel.

Ren didn't expect Abel to say these words to himself.

He didn't expect that the richest man in the world would pay attention to such a "small company" in the mainland.

And people didn't say nonsense, his company was indeed in contact with Motorola.

In parallel time and space, Huayao Company developed very well in the future, and even became one of the leaders of civil science and technology enterprises in China.

However, at the moment, Ren and his Huayao company are in trouble.

Let's talk about Huayao Company first.

After entering the new century, the bubble of Internet technology concept burst.

Huayao is also facing a serious crisis, and it has bet heavily on CDMA and missed out on the once brilliant PHS.

Ren's very promising successor left for another mountain, and he himself had two surgeries for cancer, and his mother died, and he suffered from depression.

Ren later recalled, "I had nightmares for half a year, and I often cried when I woke up." ”

At a time when this kind of company and myself are in extreme trouble.

With an annual revenue of $26.7 billion, Motorola became interested in Huayao and began to contact Ren.

Parallel to the time, the $7.5 billion deal ultimately failed due to changes in Motorola's internal management.

It is estimated that if it succeeds, there is a high probability that there will be no Huayao Company in the future.

And now, it is just the time when Ren is depressed, wants to sell the company, and starts to contact Motorola.

Like this time he came to Hong Kong Island, Ren was actually accompanied by his daughter to come over to relax, and at the same time had preliminary contact with the Motorola representative from the United States.

It just so happened that Gao Lesheng had such a banquet, and Ren, as a representative of an outstanding company in the mainland of China, was also on the invitation list.

By chance, there was this meeting with Abel.

In the face of Abel's proposal, Ren hesitated and spoke softly:

"Mr. Smith, though I don't know how you know about it. But Motorola was in contact with us, and I ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Abel's wave of his hand.

"I'll ask Mr. Jacob of Qualcomm to come over here and contact you. Mr. Ren, compared to Motorola, Qualcomm is more sincere. I think Zafirovsky, I haven't been to Hong Kong Island to look for you until now, right? ”

Speaking of this, Abel paused and looked at Ren.

"What's more, as far as I know, Zafirovsky's position at Motorola is not at all precarious. Even I myself am one of the members of the board of directors of Motorola, and the board is optimistic that Edward Jand will take over as CEO, and Zafirovsky has little hope. ”

After listening to Abel's words, Ren's heart was a little shaken.

Because it's true that just like Abel said, Motorola just sent an assistant manager to meet him here.

The president of Huayao Company, Zafirovsky, who told him very well and said that he liked Huayao very much, didn't even come over.

What's more, Abel said that Zafirovsky could not become a CEO behind him, but someone else.

Coupled with the fact that the other party is still a member of the board of directors of Motorola, Ren has already believed Abel's words.

"I ...... Mr. Smith, I'll have a good conversation with Mr. Jacob of Qualcomm. ”

Ren is not a fool.

He knew that what Abel said about Motorola, even if it was fake, it didn't matter.

If Motorola acquires Huayao in the process, there can be a competitor.

It can't be a bad thing anyway.

If it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, and a good thing is of course a good thing.

I talked to the editor today, and the editor asked me to skip the Hong Kong Island chapter quickly. Because I wanted to write it, the editor said I couldn't write it at all...... In addition, March is almost coming, so the Hong Kong Island chapter cannot be written. Fast forward, fast forward.
