Rebirth of the Tech Madman

"You are right. Admiralty’s land and the Coca-Cola franchise have been lost and can’t be taken back again. But after all, the situation will not continue to deteriorate. You can even increase Swire's return to the other party when negotiating with CITIC. There is pressure to choose." John Shi, who had made up his mind, replied unhurriedly.

Seeing the lobbying failed, Shen Bi looked at Peng Lizhi helplessly, hoping that the other party could take a stand.

Peng Lizhi worked in the corporate world for a long time before serving as the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, and he was a loyal dog of Taikoo. The first transaction opened on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in April this year represented him by operating Swire stocks. At the same time, he also used his position to suppress Cathay Pacific’s potential rival, Dragonair.

During his tenure in the Hong Kong government, Peng Lizhi just caught up with the economic crisis in the early 1980s. The Hong Kong linked exchange rate system of 7.8 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar was his political achievement, and it was a legacy worth recording in the annals of history.

However, Peng Lizhi's governance is not smooth. For example, in order to help the Hong Kong government increase its financial resources, he tried to implement a consumption tax.

At this stage, this mechanism has not been implemented in Japan. Xiangjiang will not take it for granted because the volume is relatively small, and the difficulty of implementation will be reduced. As a result, Peng Lizhi returned in despair and left the sandwiched meal for June this year. Yue was promoted from the Financial Secretary-designate to the successor of the Financial Secretary Zhai Kecheng.

After stepping down as the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, Peng Lizhi would naturally return to the corporate world and continue to be old and old, and to give full play to his aftermath, but he appeared to be sick because of his poor health.

After listening to the conversation between Shen Bi and John Shi in a listless manner, Peng Lizhi sighed and looked at Shen Bi seriously asking, "Can you be sure that HSBC will continue your attitude towards Tang Huan and Qinhe after you retire next year? If it is changed, won’t Taikoo be very passive by then?"

"The assets I left for HSBC are not only the fourth-generation headquarters building, but also the continuous strategy and direction." Shen Bi smiled proudly, "You think that hard work and strong are impeccable, that is because you are timid and you are messed up first. Properly, I found a new point of attack. HeungKong Telecom monopolizes HeungKong's internal and external communications. This situation violates the spirit of free trade."

"The Hong Kong government retains so much financial reserves for what to do. It is better to buy back the franchise in HeungKong Telecom's hands, and then issue licenses to many companies to compete. I believe that the major Chinese companies in HeungKong will definitely win the battle. Broken blood."

"You are crazy! You can't leave any room." John Shi was shocked. "As everyone knows, Tang Huan's industrial empire originated in the high-tech field, and anyone can see how much he attaches to Xiangjiang Telecom. Your proposal, I'm afraid. The Governor is not willing to try."

"Not necessarily! The presentation of such a big interest will naturally arouse everyone's heart. It will definitely be hotly debated in Hong Kong at that time. Of course Tang Huan can refuse to accept it, but his relationship with other Chinese businessmen will definitely be significantly affected." Shen Bi waved his hand triumphantly, "He wants to be right with HSBC, so he must be ready to get out of Hong Kong."

John Shi said nothing. He wanted to point out, “Tang Huan’s industrial focus is in the United States and his business is spread all over the world. Heung Kong’s diligence, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not hurt the roots of others, but will only make the hatred reach the point of endless death. , Can't make it."

But watching Shen Bi's face flushing and obsessive, John Shi shut his mouth again-this guy is only a year away from retiring. It's hard to say what attitude HSBC will have next, what will happen to him!

Several people were thinking differently, and the noise in the banquet hall suddenly rose.

"Tang Huan should be here." John Shi stood up without hesitation, and Shen Bi was still on the ground.

...

With Zhou Mi, Niubijian, Ma Shimin, Huo Jianning, and others, Tang Huanshan appeared late at the banquet, fully holding the shelf.

The Governor of Hong Kong Youde didn't think that he was disgusted, and he welcomed and greeted him with a smile on his face. Next to him was Deng Lianru, a famous man in the political and business circles of Hong Kong.

After entering the 1980s, there were many female political stars in Hong Kong. For example, Anson Chen, who was promoted to the director of the Hong Kong Government Social Welfare Department in 1984, became the first female director of Hong Kong since the opening of the port. Especially the "Guo Yanu Incident" that happened this year has made her famous in criticism and praise.

According to HeungKong Media, a 6-year-old girl, Guo Ya-nu, is suspected of being a mentally ill mother and is confined in her home in Kwai Hing Village, Kwai Chung, New Territories.

After the Heung Kong Social Welfare Department took over the handling, the social worker in charge of the incident tried to enter the house five times to find out the situation, but they were all refused.

On May 8th, after consideration and approval by the Director, Anson Chan, the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department decided to apply the "Regulations on the Protection of Women and Children" and, together with the Hong Kong Police Department, Fire Department, Government Affairs Department and Housing Department, broke into the house and rescued it. Girl.

After that, the girl was sent to Chuk Yuen Children's Home, while her mentally ill mother was forcibly sent to Kwai Chung Hospital for psychiatric treatment. Moreover, the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department prohibited the two mothers and daughters from meeting on the grounds that the case was suspected to involve child abuse, and later approved two meetings a week.

It is this kind of thing that has triggered extensive discussions in Hong Kong society. Among them, public opinion criticized the Heung Kong Social Welfare Department for abusing power and questioned the necessity of breaking into the house.

It is conceivable that Ansheng Chen, who approved the break into the house, became the focus of criticism. Especially at the relevant press conference, she accused the press of exaggerating reports on the matter, which resulted in more bombardment.

The Hong Kong government had to review the incident and published the "Report on the Guo Ya Nu Incident", which put forward a series of recommendations, such as avoiding breaking into houses as much as possible. Subsequently, the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department set up an emergency case social work team, as well as psychological expert support.

Fortunately, Governor Youde agreed with Chen Fang's decision and praised her decisiveness. Not only did her career not be negatively affected by this storm of public opinion, she also brushed her reputation in a blessing in disguise.

However, Anson Chen’s excellence is even worse than Deng Lian. He can be regarded as a model of the struggle of Chinese women in Hong Kong. In business, he is the board of directors of Swire, HSBC, and Cathay Pacific. In politics, he is the unofficial member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong and the Executive Council. Non-official members, the so-called OMELCO members, became the chief non-official member of the Legislative Council in 1985, last year.

Moreover, it is said that Deng Lianru has not only won the trust of the Hong Kong government, but is also rare. He can directly communicate with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher without passing through the Hong Kong Governor. This shows how important his position is.

Obviously, the Governor of Hong Kong Youde brought Deng Lianru with her at this banquet, just to make the communication between all parties calmer through her unique feminine charm in social occasions.

However, Tang Huan doesn’t wait to see Deng Lianru very much. He did have great survival wisdom and personal accomplishments in Xiangjiang during the colonial era, but because of this, he has been completely assimilated by the British, and his commercial interests are not related to Qinhe. Does not have the capital to mediate.

On the contrary, Tang Huan recognized another guest, Zhong Shiyuan. He is a director of Kowloon Motor Bus, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and China Light & Power. He is relatively neutral in business interests and has a trustworthy foundation.

I have to say that the banquet with singing and dancing on the surface is full of mystery.

After some red tape to start the banquet, Swire Group Chairman John Shi and Qinhe Group Chairman Tang Huan finally sat together under the watchful eyes of those interested.

"I think everyone had some misunderstandings before, and we need to clarify." John Shi said straightforwardly.

"Needless to say, everyone is tacitly tacit, and when they speak frankly, the knots between each other will be solved." Tang Huan smiled playfully.

Qinhe’s high-level group geared up and decided to take away the land in Admiralty as revenge for the Swire Group’s humiliation of Qinhe Group. Tang Huan calmly used resources from the United States to steal the Coca-Cola franchise.

Two slaps, one left and the other right, not only made Qinhe Group exhale, but also slapped Swire Group awake.

After achieving this effect, Tang Huan decided to stop temporarily.

There is a huge market space, and there is almost no fundamental conflict between Qinhe Group and Swire Group in terms of commercial interests, and it is not guilty of wasting energy on useless struggling.

In addition, according to intelligence from special channels, it is highly possible that Swire and CITIC will reach an agreement in the negotiations on Cathay Pacific’s shares, which will make the situation more delicate.

In this case, Tang Huan didn't want to grow up. For him, HSBC is the most attractive piece of fat. If you want to eat, you should eat the best, right?

Seeing that Tang Huan meant to accept the reconciliation, Johann Shih was overjoyed, picked up the wine glass, and slowly said: "As I get older, I feel more and more lack of energy. I decided to retire and let my younger brother Shi Yadi take over. At that time, I hope. Swire continues to maintain a friendly relationship with Qinhe."

"I also like the rural scenery of England. I hope to have the opportunity to walk, ride horses and hunt together." Tang Huan raised his glass and blessed a few words, and then changed his voice, "If Taikoo has no intention of continuing to operate the Xiangjiang Soda Factory, it is better to sell it. To Milk International."

John Shi's heart bleeds. It is not enough to take the blame and resign, and he is blatantly demanding compensation for defeat.

But having said that, after the loss of the Coca-Cola franchise, the Xiangjiang Soda Factory inevitably became a pity for the tastelessness of food.

Since Tang Huan felt that verbal reconciliation was not enough, it would be better to use waste and sell the beverage asset to Qinhe.

"Yes." John Shi nodded: "Shi Yadi will be responsible for this matter."

The two were bargaining. Unexpectedly, Shen Bi, who came by, had sharp ears. He heard a few words and inferred the probabilities, so he interjected in a weird manner: "The peace that comes from bowing and kneeling is not real peace."

Hearing very harshly, John Shi couldn't help but glared at Shen Bi, who was becoming more and more elusive in his heart.

"The banquet is good, but some people are very boring." Tang Huan laughed loudly. "I heard that Sir Shen Bi is about to retire. I don't know if you will choose to return to the UK to take care of your retirement at that time, or continue to stay in Xiangjiang where you have spent many years. Where is the residual heat?"

The meaning of Tang Huan's words is very clear, you are so happy, you have the ability to continue to stay in Xiangjiang after resigning from HSBC!

Shen Bi, who was directly run out of words, glared at Tang Huan, and then replied for a long time: "Regardless of whether I will stay in Xiangjiang after retirement, the strategy and direction I have formulated for HSBC will not change. , I am relieved that there is no need to observe nearby."

Originally, the Governor of Hong Kong Youde was very happy to see John Shi and Tang Huan having a hangover; but Shen Bi suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation, and he was so tired and crooked.

In order to avoid recurring waves, Hong Kong Governor Youde immediately asked Deng Lianru to invite Tang Huan, Shen Bi, and John Shi, three important tycoons in the Hong Kong business community, and solemnly solicited opinions: "Her Majesty the Queen will Come to Xiangjiang, do you have any good suggestions for reception?"

Governor Youde's meaning is also very clear: In October this year, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom will visit China and then visit Hong Kong for the second time. This matter is very important. No matter what kind of conflicts you may have, I have to put it away and do a good job in the face-saving project.

"I will have an itinerary in the UK next~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I should be able to see Her Majesty the Queen, and I will definitely assist in communicating this matter at that time." Tang Huan took the lead and said.

Shen Bi and John Shi looked at each other, and didn’t think about how to say it for a while. Gein and they were the rich natives of Xiangjiang, the colony below the United Kingdom. Their greatest honor is the award of honors. It’s really not as powerful as Tang Huan’s. Easily deal with the British royal family.

"Then I have to worry about it." Hong Kong Governor Youde nodded with satisfaction.

The visit of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is not an ordinary trouble. In addition to the red tape, there are often more than a dozen members of the royal family; the Queen’s personal secretary, press secretary, general manager, attendant, medical officer, dresser, hairdresser, treasurer, Maid, footman and other people who take care of the queen’s daily life are in double digits; in addition, there are bands, officers and soldiers and other royal service personnel on royal yachts and frigates, up to more than 600 people.

With such a large visiting team, the difficulty of reception can be imagined. How can Hong Kong Governor Youde take it lightly?

Seeing the visit of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to Hong Kong, it really suppressed these unruly business leaders. Hong Kong Governor Youde secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he found an opportunity and woke up with a heart-sounding voice: "Anyone. He is the leading figure in Xiangjiang, no matter what disagreements, please keep the overall situation first.

Naturally, no one can listen to this kind of words that are not painful or itchy.

Tang Huan directly expressed his position and said: "I am willing to make money with harmony, but for those who don't have the foundation of trust, I have to listen to what they say and watch what they do."

Hong Kong Governor Youde, who was suffering from a headache, turned his eyes to Shen Bi, and saw his eyes flicker. He probably had no choice but to wave his hand-Nima, it should be a day to live in peace. Anyway, it should be ok in the second half of the year. There is nothing wrong with each other.
