Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1799

At the critical moment, the British are reliable, and everything else is in vain; the attitude is enough to explain everything. Through Shen Bi's rhetoric, Wei Yixin already has absolute confidence in persuading the other party! With such a high profile, it was finally discovered that it was just lip service; and when the country was in crisis, not to mention the royal family and Downing Street, even the domestic people must have opinions.

If you really can't do it, don't speak out, otherwise you will end up harming others and yourself. Originally, your strength was included in the calculation, but in the end it was not the case; the plan has been made, but it is easy to drag down the overall situation.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Senior Shen is worthy of being an elite of the British Empire, and he is absolutely reliable at critical moments."

Originally, as two people, they could meet and discuss these things in private; but now, unlike in the past, they wanted to use Shen Bi's influence to complete the task assigned by No. 10 Downing Street.

Wei Yixin's intentions were obvious. After Shen Bi took the lead in expressing his opinion, other businessmen couldn't refuse, so the matter was considered half successful. Bao Zixuan did not achieve the desired result; then he could only rely on the British businessman.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not dare to use Xiangjiang's financial balance. Someone must come out and take the blame afterwards; as the governor of Xiangjiang, he can't get away with it.

Shen Bi smiled and said: "Students, don't be polite, as a citizen of the empire, you have already been closely linked with the fate of the British Empire. Therefore, when the country is in danger, Shen is duty-bound; Your Excellency the Governor can do whatever you want HSBC to do." Let’s be honest; we’ll do our best!”

The reason why he has confidence is mainly because HSBC no longer has any shares in Chinese businessmen; even the Chinese directors personally invited by Shen Bi before have left the board of HSBC. The well-known Chinese tycoons in Xiangjiang have all become bankers; according to the Banking Law, they will naturally withdraw from the HSBC board of directors.

In other words, it has nothing to do with HSBC. Of course, it is not very accurate to say that; the two parties still have some cooperation. But the partners do not belong to us, what HSBC wants to do; it has nothing to do with them, and it is not qualified to manage them at all.

The major shareholders are all British. Anyone who dares to stand up against relevant national policies at this time is no different from a traitor. It is precisely because of these that Shen Bi can speak so beautifully!

Wei Yixin thought for a while and said: "HSBC is the largest bank in Hong Kong; I hope Senior Shen can take the lead and buy more British government bonds."

HSBC is not weak, but the task assigned by Downing Street is too heavy; unless HSBC is hollowed out, it will be difficult for them alone to achieve it. I just hope that Shen Bi will be generous and be a good leader!

In fact, when Wei Yixin came to him, Shen Bi knew the other party's purpose.

As for speaking more beautifully, it is nothing more than to express an attitude; I don't want outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. Now it's time to get serious, to bring out real money; Shen Bi is really in a bit of a dilemma.

In recent years, catching up with the golden period of Hong Kong's development; HSBC has made a lot of money. However, in order to maintain its position in the Xiangjiang Bank, it is also a lot of investment.

Unlike Baozixuan's other companies, Black Cloud Group and Blackstone Fund can bring huge profits to it; HSBC is not strong in other industries except in the financial field.

It looks very beautiful, but there are not many funds that can be used in the hands; there are really not many.

The words have been spoken, and everyone is looking at him; at this moment, there is no other choice, and he must show courage.

Shen Bi: "No problem, the country needs it; Shen will go all out! HSBC is willing to spend 500 million pounds to buy British government bonds."

Hearing this, everyone felt incredible. Everyone is very clear about each other's strengths; if it is Bao Zixuan, don't say 500 million pounds, it is 5 billion, or even 50 billion; it will feel normal.

Not to mention anything else, the profit of Japan alone exceeded 50 billion pounds.

The strength of HSBC Bank is indeed not weak, but the main money-making business is concentrated in Xiangjiang; other places can't contribute much, and the overall situation is a bit stretched.

Now directly take out 500 million pounds, but it is a desperate rhythm.

The most powerful family in the United Kingdom only bought 200 million pounds of national debt; the richest Bao Bao was only 250 million pounds; Shen Taipan directly doubled, which is really intriguing.

But this was not a good thing for the British businessmen on site; Shen Bi's generous generosity made them very uncomfortable.

I am still as stingy as last time, but it is hard to explain; I can develop, start a company, and make money in Xiangjiang; it is all supported by the UK. Otherwise, where resources can be obtained, who will take care of them.

Shen Bi is just a professional manager, and it's normal not to feel bad about spending money; but they need to take money out of their own pockets, so naturally they won't be willing. At this moment, Shen Daban has already put forward his posture, if he does not follow up, it will definitely be unreasonable.

Wei Yixin said with a smile: "Senior Shen is worthy of being an elite of the empire. I believe that the country will not forget your sacrifice."

Everyone was already dumbfounded. What did Shen Bi mean? Directly double the foundation of Baozixuan, not everyone has such courage. Immediately began to discuss, mainly to discuss what to do next.

At this time, Bao Zixuan also came over with an old friend.

Michael Kadoorie is definitely a special existence in Xiangjiang, he is a foreigner, but the Kadoorie family has little to do with Britain. Of course, because of Jewish identity, I still get a lot of benefits.

But British businessmen don't regard them as their own, at least the interests cannot be consistent.

Chinese business groups will not recruit the Kadoorie family; most people will not accept it.

But because of the shrewdness of the Jews, plus the character that no one can offend, and their own strength is strong enough, no one dares to underestimate the Kadoorie family.

Before Bao Zixuan revealed to him that he would invest in Japan, the Kadoorie family made a lot of money. But for an unfamiliar market, the Kadoorie family dare not take too much risk; the scale is not very large.

Knowing that Bao Zixuan started to sell stocks, he did not hesitate; he also sold, even to a certain extent; a lot earlier.

But at this moment, the Xiangjiang people have identified the Kadoorie family as the Baozixuan faction, mainly because the cooperation between the two parties is too close; many people are very envious, but they also know that Baoshoufu is not everyone's favorite.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "Bao Sheng, you still have a better vision."

"The Kadoorie family also invested in Japan in the past, but my father was a little worried; so the amount was not very large. I made some money, but it was far behind the Blackstone Fund."

"There will be a good chance next time, but you have to think about it."

When Bao Zixuan came here, too many people came to chat with him; Michael Kadoorie didn't come forward. Seeing no one at the moment, it is natural to have a good conversation.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't tell me, I'll be looking for you soon. There are a lot of people here, and I will go to Huaxia Mainland in two days; let's go around together, so we can see the Hutchison Plaza project!"

The two parties have worked together for many years, and Michael Kadoorie is still very familiar with Bao Zixuan's character. In other words, it is definitely a new business opportunity; it seems that it is not small, otherwise it would not be so important.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "I'll arrange the time when I go back, just let me know in advance!"

Attitude is everything, Bao Zixuan meets, not everyone in Xiangjiang has this kind of treatment. Since people think of the Kadoorie family, there must be no hesitation.

Michael Kadoorie's answer made Bao Shoufu very satisfied. One hero and three gangs still need to recruit more allies; they may be useful at critical moments.

When they suddenly heard that HSBC had decided to purchase 500 million pounds of British treasury bonds, both of them froze for a moment. What Shen Bi sang, didn't it clearly make Bao Zixuan ugly!

Just now he said to buy 250 million pounds of treasury bonds, and HSBC directly doubled it; if HSBC is stronger than Heiyun Group, it makes sense. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no comparison between HSBC and Heiyun.

It was obvious that he was applying eye drops to Bao Zixuan, so Shen Bi had no good intentions.

In other words, Xiangjiang is ruled by the British; it is also at the banquet of the Governor's Mansion. Shen Bi's approach clearly shows that at critical moments, the British are still reliable; everything else is useless!

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "Shen Bi really doesn't give up, isn't he worried that it will cause a chain reaction."

Michael Kadoorie was very displeased with Shen Bi's purchase of so many national debts that were beyond his own affordability.

Even if Britain was defeated, it would have little to do with him. I'm not British at all, and I didn't take any advantage because of my status. Whether the British Empire is dead or alive, powerful or not; it doesn't matter that much.

The income from national debt is not as high as the interest on bank loans; the Kadoorie family doesn't like it at all.

In recent years, the Kadoorie family has been keeping up with the richest man Bao.

The two hotels in Heiyun Town have been clearly entrusted to them to operate; all the hotels in Hutchison Plaza in Huaxia Mainland need to be built by themselves. As an Iraqi, domestic investment is essential.

Fujairah is Baozixuan's territory, so naturally he cannot leave it. Even if the family is rich, so many large-scale projects are launched at once; the capital chain is definitely not abundant. Fortunately, he has a good relationship with the richest man Bao, and he can get a low-interest loan from Heiyun Bank.

I don't want to buy the so-called British national debt, which has not been settled last time; there is no need to be buried with the British Empire.

Baozixuan bought 250 million pounds, so that Michael Kadoorie saw an opportunity; just reduce it proportionally. Who would have thought that Shen Bi would appear; HSBC bought 500 million pounds of British government bonds, isn't that embarrassing!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "How can you say that Shen Daban is also British, and Argentina's strength is not what it used to be; it is not so easy for Britain to win the war."

"The Soviet Union has taken action, and the British warship was sunk; this is the best proof. This is already an open secret, and it is normal for the British to be anxious."

"In addition, South American countries do not want Britain to win the war; they have been colonized for too long, and the Malvinas Islands are not only related to Argentina, but also to the face of the entire Latin America."

No one doubts the relationship between Bao Zixuan and the Soviet Union.

The United Kingdom is not weak, but it depends on who it is compared with; the United States and the Soviet Union are the two superpowers in the world, and the British Empire is in the eyes of others; it is really not enough.

But this matter is already related to the international status of the United Kingdom and the issue of the Iron Lady's governance; the British naturally cannot hand over the island easily. If that were the case, the Argentines would not appreciate them; it would also be a national joke.

Lost land, even if it is not the British mainland; but it is only the predecessors who sacrificed their heads and sprinkled their blood to fight for it. Unfilial children and grandchildren give up easily, and no one dares to bear the infamy of history!

Michael Kadoorie whispered, "Could it be that Britain will lose this time?"

Although the defeat of Britain has little to do with the Kadoorie family, many things must be prepared in advance. The family still has some investments in the UK; if they want to take advantage of Xiangjiang, they have to perform well!

If Britain loses the war, the economy will only get worse; then it is definitely not good news for the real estate market. Early selling would be a good choice.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's not that serious, Britain has the capital to turn the tables."

"I just feel that this war is very unfavorable to Britain; as long as there are no accidents, even if it wins, it will have to pay a heavy price. The Argentines are likely to adopt delaying tactics and fight a protracted war with the British. It depends on who can't bear it first. "

On the surface, Baozixuan is more inclined to the UK; but a little analysis reveals that it is not very optimistic.

Britain does have the right to turn the table, but nuclear weapons are a double-edged sword; behind Argentina stands the Soviet Union, the country with the most nuclear weapons in the world. Besides, Argentina did not attack the British mainland, so there is no reason to use nuclear weapons against others.

A protracted war between the two sides is very detrimental to countries with weak industrial bases; but this time is very different. Britain needs to cross thousands of miles, and Argentina is at the doorstep; if it really falls into a stalemate, the British will definitely not be able to bear it.

Michael Kadoorie said with a smile: "It's still you who can see clearly and have been arrogant for hundreds of years; they should suffer a little bit."

The location of the two is relatively remote~www.readwn.com~ and most people are attracted by Shen Bi and Wei Yixin; there is no one around, otherwise Michael Kadoorie would not dare to speak like this.

Even if they heard it, they wouldn't do anything to the Kadoorie family; offending people with their mouths is the most uneconomical thing. As long as you are a smart person, you will not be so deliberate!

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The world pattern is slowly changing, but this is an opportunity for businessmen!"

After speaking, the two smiled knowingly.

Bao Zixuan was because after seeing Shen Bi's performance, other British businessmen would never dare to play tricks. Not too little, if not more than HSBC buys treasury bonds;

Restricting its own development is one aspect, and another point is crucial; that is, it has enhanced the confidence and strength of the British army.

The strength has become stronger and the confidence is more abundant; naturally dare to fight with the Argentines. The chances of both sides falling into endless battles will be greater, whether the war is won or not; it will be very detrimental to Britain. Declining national strength and economic downturn; it is already conceivable!

As for Michael Kadoorie, he valued the opportunity that Bao Zixuan said more, and believed that he would go to China mainland together in two days; he would know the answer, and he was very much looking forward to it!
