Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In the 1970s, the British economy experienced a strange phenomenon of stagnant development on the one hand and soaring prices on the other, which was called the "British Disease". In order to treat the above-mentioned diseases, the British government can only stabilize the domestic market by reducing the state welfare expenditure.

Since the 1980s, in the face of excess liquidity, the United Kingdom has adopted a series of reforms aimed at improving economic efficiency. Not only has it not formed a "bubble economy" similar to Japan, but on the contrary, it has greatly improved the British industry and economic efficiency. The competitiveness of the financial industry has successfully revived the British economy, which has been declining since the oil crisis, and more importantly, maintained London's status as an old international financial center in the world, providing a solid foundation for the British economy to surpass Western European countries after the 1990s. .

Of course, it is not long before the Iron Maiden has just started to implement her own governing program. It can be said that the country does not have much money to deal with this unstoppable war. At present, the domestic economy is relatively sluggish, so according to past traditions, it will start with the colonies and collect funds from the colonies to supplement the country.

But now in the 20th century, many British overseas colonies became independent, and it can be said that their influence in the world is declining. Otherwise, Argentina would not dare to attack the Falkland Islands.

Even the few existing small colonies did not dare to blatantly scrape them. After all, there were many interests implicated behind each colony.

But now it's a time of war, so I can't take care of that much. Through the military license, the British eyed Xiangjiang and Bao Zixuan. To say who is the richest among the existing colonies overseas, it is definitely Xiangjiang. At this time in the previous life, Hong Kong's economy was already very developed, and it was known as the Four Little Dragons of Asia.

That's still under the premise that there is no Heiyun Group, the unexpected rise of Bao Zixuan in this life has made Xiangjiang's economy even faster and scarier. It can be said that the British people are not tempted to look at the high taxation of Xiangjiang every year. It is only because of these treaty restrictions that they cannot arbitrarily control the assets of Xiangjiang, and there is no one who dares to do anything even if the Chinese mainland is watching. Too much.

But when you think of the domestic economy's lack of improvement, you can't take care of that much. Since the assets cannot be used directly, it is always possible to issue war bonds!

If anyone doesn't buy it, they have no confidence in the British Empire's victory over Argentina, and they can find an excuse to clean up you. This is the real purpose of the British. They want to use a license to make Bao Zixuan submit. If the Black Cloud Group is taken over, then the other small fish and shrimp will not be slaughtered by them.

War bonds are debt securities issued by governments to raise military spending in times of war. At this time, the British wanted to issue such bonds in Hong Kong, in order to make Hong Kong people pay for the war between Britain and Argentina. And the primary target is Bao Zixuan's Heiyun Group. Whoever makes you want a military license, you must show enough sincerity. As long as it is bought by the richest man, then others will not dare not to buy it.

After receiving the call from Governor Youde, Bao Zixuan fell into deep thought. Youde said the UK had agreed to issue a military license to the Black Cloud Group, but he had to buy the war bonds issued by the government this time. It is not only the Black Cloud Group that wants to buy, but also the employees of the company must be mobilized to buy. In the words of the British, now it is necessary to share the enemy, and there must be no slack.

Bao Zixuan lived in the UK for many years in his previous life, but knowing that the British did not repay their previous debts until the 21st century when their country's economy improved and under the pressure of public opinion, it can be said that the government's credit is not very good.

According to data from the BBC, World War I cost the UK about 3.25 billion pounds, of which 2.11 billion were loans. In 1917, the British government issued national war bonds with interest rates as high as 5%, coupled with overwhelming patriotic propaganda - "If you can't fight, you can invest all you have to help your country... Unlike the military, investment is not risky", about 3 million Britons bought war bonds.

In 1927, Winston Churchill refinanced the treasury bonds at 4% interest into a consolidated loan, or consolidate bond, which is now valued at £218.4 million. About 11,200 current year investors held these 4% war bonds, 92% of which were less than £10,000.

In 1932, facing the financial risks of the Great Recession, then Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain once again used patriotic propaganda to convert a portion of the 4% interest national bonds into perpetual bonds, and the interest rate was reduced to 3.5%, which meant that borrowers did not have to repay The principal, as long as he keeps repaying the interest. The 3.5% bond is now valued at £1,938.6 million and still has 120,000 holders, 38,000 of whom hold less than £100 in principal.

The UK Treasury estimates that it has repaid a total of £5.5bn in interest on its two main war debts, 5% and 3.5%. The UK government says it won't be able to pay off all of these debts until March 2015.

If it were Huaxia and German bonds, Bao Zixuan would not hesitate to buy them. After all, these two countries have very high credit ratings. But the British have not paid off the debt they owed during the First World War. How can they believe that he will pay for the Falklands War?

The British made it clear that he would be the one to take advantage of, and he had to be the one who took the lead. But when he thinks of the military license, he has to make a fool of himself. Thinking that I must double my money back from the British, and then count the old and new hatred together after the return of Xiangjiang, but now I can only bear it.

Bao Zixuan agreed to buy British war bonds on the phone, but could not be the leader. After all, so many British companies don't express their opinions and let Chinese-funded enterprises express their opinions. Isn't this a clear letter to their faces!

If this is to take the lead in purchasing, and let the employees actively buy it; in combination with the current production of ground-effect aircraft and the approval of Heiyun employees to re-enlist into the battlefield, there will definitely be two words written on the forehead - traitor. Bao Zixuan didn't dare to do such a thing, and he didn't bother to do it.

Governor Youde thought that it was not easy for Bao Zixuan to do this. After all, if the other party was really in a hurry to not get a military license, then the United Kingdom really did not have a strategic transport force to send to the Falkland Islands.

After all, Bao Zixuan is still young, and he is far worse than these veteran politicians. Even if he doesn't agree to buy war bonds, he just said that he will think about it carefully; the British will send the military license to him~www.readwn.com~ Don't forget, now the ground effect aircraft is completely a seller's market. It can be said that the Black Cloud Group is a unique business, and it is considered a unique business in the world; as long as it does not go too far, the British will definitely follow you. Now, due to a show of weakness, Bao Zixuan thought that the number of war bonds allocated by the British to the Heiyun Group was wrong.

Sir Youde made a detailed report on the result of the telephone communication with Bao Zixuan to the London side, which made the Iron Lady in the UK very happy. The army can not only have the most advanced strategic transportation force, but also can solve a large part of the military expenditure.

It made her even more reluctant to give up Xiangjiang to Huaxia so easily. After all, in Iron Lady's heart, the prosperity of Xiangjiang today is inseparable from the support of the British Empire.

Without the introduction of advanced management experience by the British Empire into Hong Kong, Hong Kong would never have the prosperity and prosperity it is today when combined with enlightened policies.

Looking at the opposite side of the Shenhai River, you can see how well Xiangjiang is governed by the British. She believes that even if it is another 100 years, the opposite side will not be able to catch up with the current level of Xiangjiang. However, it turns out that Iron Lady does not understand the speed of the rise of China's economy, and she does not understand how powerful the Chinese people can be when united.

The problem Bao Zixuan is facing now is how to explain it to the staff. After all, he has already promised the Governor Sir Youde to buy war bonds issued by the British government.

Fortunately, he also has a degree in his heart, a heart that cannot let employees suffer. If employees do not suffer losses, they can only suffer losses for themselves and the company. At the same time, there is no way out.

He set a maximum bond purchase standard of $200 for each employee, which is nothing for a Black Cloud employee with an average income of more than $1,000.
