Chapter 1808 Aftermath Work 2

Among the British, there are many people with outstanding abilities, and I met one in front of me; at least listening to the other party's speech, I am not very repulsive; at this moment, Bao Yugang is much calmer!

As a super tycoon, it is inevitable that you have a heart to cherish your talents; even if you can't use them, you definitely don't want to turn against them! How can I say that Xiangjiang is still managed by the British at present; don't look young in front of you; at any rate, he is also the head of Xiangjiang's financial department, so naturally he has to give some face!

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "What did Director Qiao Ante say? If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot, what a crime! Thinking about how fast time flies, before you know it; we have known each other for more than ten years. At that time, you had just graduated from university, and now you are already a member of one party; but it also shows from the side that we are old; we are about to withdraw from the stage of history!"

Being able to bend and stretch can be said to be the most basic requirement of being a hero and a tycoon. If you can't even do this, then I'm sorry; it's almost impossible to get things done.

The more successful a person is, the more he knows how to endure; Bao Yugang changed so quickly, which Joant never expected. It's no wonder that people can become super rich. This amount of stomach alone and the reaction are beyond the reach of ordinary people!

In fact, not only Qiao Ante, but even Zheng Yutong beside him didn't think about it; you must know that the two have known each other for more than 40 years, not to mention knowing the bottom line; but they are definitely very familiar. Bao Yugang is a person with pride in his bones, not everyone can fall into his eyes. From this point of view, the kid in front of him has been recognized by the charter king through his hard work and language skills; the Zheng family should naturally pay attention to it.

In recent years, the Zheng family has been reciting characters; they seldom deal with outsiders. As for Zheng Yutong himself, apart from Bao Yugang and Shen Bi, he hardly saw any guests. The identities are already somewhat unequal, and it will be embarrassing to meet each other!

Xiangjiang's taxation is mainly profit income tax, and the companies under the Zheng family are still making up for the shortfall; where is there any profit. Therefore, there is not much communication with Xiangjiang financial officials.

At the same time, the British also knew what the current state of the Zheng family was; if they took the initiative to come to the door, they were asking for trouble for themselves. There are still so many good companies that have not paid attention to them, so what does the life or death of the Zheng family have to do with them; so that the two parties rarely meet!

Therefore, Zheng Yutong is not particularly familiar with Qiao Ante, an upstart.

The British came to look for them, and nothing good happened; it didn't matter if they made money before and donated some money. Now I am filling up the shortfall every day, and returning the excess funds for charity!

Being able to get Bao Yugang's approval is enough to explain the problem; we must focus on it in the future.

The charter king didn't know that it was his concept; it changed some of the shark's thoughts, and laid the groundwork for many fierce confrontations in the future.

Qiao Ante said with a smile: "Bao Sheng was joking, you can call me whatever you want; as long as you remember that there is such a person."

"As for the word old, there is still a distance between you and Your Excellency; it is the time of the heyday of Spring and Autumn, but I dare not make rash assertions."

"Your Excellency the Governor invited Bao Sheng and Zheng Sheng today. I think you two should be clear. The British Empire is quite qualified in the management of Xiangjiang. The fact that you can become super tycoons has something to do with the support of the United Kingdom."

"At this moment, the British Empire is facing an unprecedented crisis. I hope that the two of you can help; the whole of Britain will be grateful."

The polite words have been finished, and we must get to the point; there is not much time left for him!

I didn't expect the kid in front of me to be so straightforward, and he didn't give the two of them any room to think; it seemed that the British were bound to win, otherwise they wouldn't be like this.

At this moment, when he heard that Bao Zixuan was willing to buy 250 million pounds of British treasury bonds, Bao Yugang instantly beamed with joy. It has lightened his burden invisibly; just follow along with a proportional reduction, at least the British can't find anything wrong with it.

Even though the abandon ship landing was relatively successful, as the former world ship tycoon; starting a business, it is not so easy to give up. There are still many merchant ships living at sea under its flag.

Argentina is far away from the Xiangjiang River, but the maritime affairs; the charter king is very concerned. The main thing is to be able to get first-hand information, and a system has been formed over the years.

The endless sea is full of unknowns. Shipping companies not only have to meet the challenges of stormy seas and other natural disasters; they must also always be prepared for man-made disasters.

Pirates, wars, regional instability; all under consideration!

The Bao family has been engaged in the shipping industry for many years, so they are relatively well-informed about the news about the sea. How much the British suffered in the South American waters has long been passed on to Xiangjiang through their peers.

Even if they don't understand military affairs, they still know that the Argentines were able to directly shoot down fighter jets and sink more than a dozen warships; their strength is no longer what it used to be. In addition, the United Kingdom is engaged in ocean-going operations, and a series of problems such as logistical supplies are superimposed, and the possibility of defeat in a comprehensive analysis is very high.

Once Britain is defeated, the domestic economic situation will definitely not be good; let alone the income from national debt, whether the principal can be recovered; it is still unknown.

Besides, Britain's defeat in the war will naturally depreciate the pound; not to mention it becomes worthless, but it will definitely not go that high. Using British pounds to buy British government bonds is equivalent to giving money to the other party for nothing; Bao Yugang didn't want to do something stupid.

Now that Bao Zixuan is taking the lead again, things are much easier to handle!

Although Zheng Yutong did not understand the situation as well as Bao Yugang, he was already short of funds; naturally he did not want to buy the so-called British national debt. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Bao Zixuan had indeed done a good thing this time!

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "Bao has always been grateful all the way. Now that Britain encounters difficulties, it will naturally not stand by. But every family has difficulties, and life has not been easy in recent years."

"But show sincerity even when it's difficult; will buy 20m of gilts."

Hearing that Bao Yu was willing to buy 20 million pounds just now, Qiao Ante was not very happy; this is also the second richest man in Xiangjiang. Although the wealth is incomparable with Bao Zixuan, it is much stronger than others.

Now only willing to take out 20 million pounds, it is too dishonest.

Before Qiao Ante could react, Zheng Yutong said first: "Your Excellency should be clear about the situation of the Zheng family."

"I will try my best to mobilize 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is better than nothing; I hope you can understand."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yutong was more ruthless, only willing to give out 10 million; and it was Hong Kong dollars. But after thinking about it, the Zheng family has indeed been very difficult in recent years; it can be regarded as a wish. It's really not good to demand too much. Could it be that people buy houses and land to support the British war.

There is no reason in the world. Sometimes you can't judge how much money you have; it mainly depends on the attitude of the other party. Baozixuan bought 250 million pounds, which looks like a lot; but compared to wealth, combined with the huge profits just made in Japan; it gives people a feeling of coping with errands, or even alms.

The Zheng family has been unable to squeeze out much profit, at least in recent years. Taking out 10 million Hong Kong dollars is not the limit; but at least people can't find faults; even to a certain extent, they will be more grateful to the other party.

Joant thought for a moment and said, "Bao Sheng, when your Excellency the Prime Minister talked with Governor Wilson, he mentioned you many times. He said that you are the most trustworthy partner of the British Empire and a friend who can make friends with you."

"It stands to reason that many things cannot be forced, but you also know the current situation in the UK. This time the Argentines must be completely subdued, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"The strength of the Bao family is obvious to all in Xiangjiang, and even the whole world; I hope you can do your best, and the whole of Britain will never forget this kindness."

It has been more than ten years since he came to Xiangjiang. Qiao Ante didn't say everything about the strength and temperament of the tycoons, but he knew a little bit.

Chartered Ship King is a person who wants face, in fact, he is not the only one; all super tycoons are like this, after all, no one wants to be underestimated. Status has reached a certain height, and face can represent strength even more.

Just like just now, I saw him coming; the two of them didn't express anything. Because in the minds of Bao Yugang and Zheng Yutong, the governor must come over on such an occasion, so what's the matter with the subordinates coming over. Obviously, if you don't pay attention to the two of you, you will definitely not be happy; it is very normal to give you a face and say some bad words.

In addition, Bao Yugang and Iron Lady have a good personal relationship, and they have given enough respect just now; now that the prime minister is mentioned, the other party should change.

Bao Yugang knew that 20 million pounds was no longer enough to satisfy the other party. I really answered that sentence; Lord Yama is easy to deal with, but little ghosts are difficult to deal with. So I thought for a while and said: "I also know the difficulties of the British Empire, the consumption of funds by war; it can be said to be very huge."

"The strength of the Bao family is limited after all, and some new projects have been launched recently; it is difficult to mobilize too much funds in a short period of time. Unless part of the property is sold, it will be very embarrassing."

"But thinking of the difficulties in the UK, Bao can't make it difficult for his friends; he will try his best to allocate an extra 20 million pounds."

Being able to get the other side to come up with an extra 20 million is a remarkable achievement; you can't push too hard. As for Zheng Yutong, forget it! If you don't ask for your own support, it's already very good; as much as you have, it's better than not showing at all!

After that, he exchanged a few words with Bao Yugang and Zheng Yutong, and then walked towards the next goal.

Seeing Li Chaoren and Lee Shau Kee together, Qiao Ante didn't hesitate; he stepped forward directly. At this moment, I don't care whether the two are welcome or not, as long as they can get on with each other; letting the other party buy British government bonds is a victory.

Er Li is not as easy to talk as Bao Yugang, every time he talks about him; he doesn't talk about the topic at all.

Joant considered himself a master negotiator, and even studied for it.

But when meeting Li Chaoren, especially with Lee Shau Kee next to him, it can be said that there is no advantage at all, and I even feel that I am at the level of a primary school student.

In the end, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked the two to spend 10 million pounds each; to buy British treasury bonds.

After this time, Qiao Ante was no longer so confident; but it was not all bad, the problem of arrogance has changed a lot. It can only be said that Li Chaoren belongs to the category of super masters, and he is still far behind.

Then I got in touch with several super tycoons, not only Chinese, but also many British. Being able to come to the Governor's Mansion to attend the dinner is naturally a wealthy owner; I gave face and bought part of the British treasury bonds.

According to the final statistics, the businessman Joant contacted was willing to purchase 245 million pounds of national debt. The results cannot be said to be very good, but they are already very good.

After hearing Joante's introduction, Wei Yixin knew very well that the task assigned by the Prime Minister could no longer be completed.

But now is not the time to give up, the war has not yet officially begun. He has already decided that he will visit Bao Zixuan in person; at this moment, except for Bao Shoufu, even if other people support him, it doesn't mean much.

After the staff finished counting the data, Wei Yixin was very considerate and asked his subordinates to go back to rest.

In the past few days, the work intensity has been very high, especially today; there is no rest for a moment. Reporting to the country, one person is enough; no matter how many people are left behind, it will not be of much help!

The Iron Lady has become even more stressed in recent days, after World War II; although Britain has also experienced some wars. But basically they are shouting behind the United States, and have never played the leading role; the consumption is not great!

But it was her turn to be in power, and there were two wars; only the British family fought against Argentina.

Even if the war is won, there will inevitably be bloodshed; the cost is even more astronomical.

The Falklands War last time was due to some international factors; in addition, the United Kingdom itself could not afford it. It did not ask Argentina to make any reparations, just to protect the Falkland Islands; to win some international reputation.

But those can't be eaten as food, and they don't have any practical significance for the domestic economy.

The issuance of local government bonds is not very ideal. Perhaps the people are very patriotic; but they have no money in hand, and they are powerless to support them.

Xiangjiang does not say that it is the only life-saving straw, but it is not far from there; it is necessary to raise enough funds in Xiangjiang, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the British Empire.

At this time, the secretary reported that Xiangjiang made an encrypted call; Iron Lady did not hesitate to ask someone to transfer it.

Wei Yixin understood the character of the Iron Lady~www.mtlnovel.com~ and said directly: "Your Excellency, the dinner was held at the Governor's Mansion tonight, and there are countless super tycoons in Xiangjiang; they are very respectful, and no one is absent!"

"Among them, Shen Bi bought 500 million pounds of bonds on behalf of HSBC, and Bao Zixuan bought 250 million pounds; both Swire and Jardine were very supportive; in addition, Bao Yugang also used 40 million pounds to buy British government bonds."

"Current statistics show that there are 78 wealthy businessmen tonight, who can absorb a total of 1.65 billion pounds of national debt!"

Hearing this number, Iron Lady is not very satisfied; she is far from the goal in her heart.

However, Wei Yixin's next plan gave her hope; at the same time, she said that if something goes wrong, or something happens, she will be transferred back to the British mainland.

It's a promise, and at the same time, it also means to let the other party do it boldly; at critical moments, she will not stand by and do nothing; it can also be regarded as a reassurance for Wei Yixin.

Of course, that's all for later, and it's not a last resort; no one wants to take risks.

The two were quite satisfied and ended the call; it was a not-so-perfect end to the dinner party!
