In order to better suit the rich in Hong Kong, Youde decided to hold a banquet at the Governor's Palace. The theme this time is war and peace. Although this is the title of a book written by a Soviet writer, it is very fitting at this moment.
All the rich people in Xiangjiang who received the Governor's banquet know that this must be a grand banquet, which kind of banquet will be held every year. But now the Governor Yoder is staring at you; you can't go if you don't want to. After all, it is still the British who have the final say in Hong Kong at this time, and face is always given.
In this unwilling and unwilling situation, the rich from Hong Kong came to the Governor's Mansion, and Bao Zixuan was no exception of course.
It can be said that this time, the rich people in Hong Kong came quite neatly, and basically everyone who was in Hong Kong was invited over. Even many people who don't show up often have to come. Everyone knows that it is during the war between the United Kingdom and Argentina, so let's listen to others!
As soon as Bao Zixuan walked into the Governor's Mansion, he was invited to the study by Governor Youde. Youde has now decided to assign tasks to Bao Zixuan, and it is the kind that must be completed.
Youde: "Baosheng, this time London made an exception to issue the Heiyun military license. For this reason, the domestic military enterprises are not very convinced. The royal family and the Prime Minister hope that the Heiyun Group can generously donate during the war, so that we can spend our time together. difficulties.
Bao Zixuan: "It is also my honor to be able to help your country during the difficult times of the British Empire. A small Argentina is by no means an opponent of the British Empire. I am not at all worried about Britain's victory over Argentina. Besides, there are many big companies and rich people in Hong Kong. Working together is the best solution.
Now no one wants to be this early bird, everyone is hiding, after all, this is something that offends people. You take the lead in buying war bonds what do other people do, buying British war bonds is no different than sending them money.
Youde: "Xiangjiang is prosperous today because of the British Empire. As the richest man in Hong Kong, I hope that Bao Sheng will set an example for other Hong Kong businessmen. After all, everyone is looking at you, the richest man, and the British Empire will be grateful. The Queen is also paying attention to this matter, and after the war is over, she will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Bao Sheng's name will definitely appear on the list of blocked people."
Hearing that Youde was actually talking about being sealed, it was a no-brainer before. After all, who doesn't want to have an aristocratic title, even if it's useless, it's good to be called by others.
It was destined to disappoint Youde, but Bao Zixuan knew that Xiangjiang would return in 1997. At that time, what would it be like to have an aristocratic title in the UK, and how would the Chinese world view this matter?
Bao Zixuan: "As for the ban, even when the British Empire defeated Argentina, the soldiers must be given due respect. Therefore, I won't compete with them. Moreover, it is easy to mislead the people, making them think that businessmen are more important than soldiers. Important; it's not good for the education of the next generation."
After hearing Bao Zixuan's answer, Youde really couldn't find any problem, but he felt that something was wrong. But he didn't particularly care. After all, he wouldn't have thought that the richest man Bao didn't want the title of nobility.
Youde: "I'm ashamed that Bao Sheng can have such a high profile, but the London side has repeatedly mentioned your great contribution to the development of Hong Kong and your popularity in the whole world. Therefore, you should be rewarded, and Her Majesty the Queen is I mentioned it myself."
Bao Zixuan: "Any time is fine. I'm not in a hurry. When the war is won, I can't compete with the soldiers for credit."
Hearing the attitude of the young man in front of him, he didn't want to push too hard. Extremes will reverse, I believe that as long as a person is in Xiangjiang, he can't escape his palm, and he must change his thinking about dealing with young people.
Youde: "Then let Baosheng, but this war bond can report your name to London. The royal family and the Prime Minister are very grateful to you for choosing to believe in the British Empire at a critical moment."
After speaking, he also took out an introduction to the amount of war bonds that Bao Zixuan needed to buy. After seeing the numbers, our richest man in Bao almost didn't stand up and beat someone. How come everyone is dead! He and the entire Black Cloud Group have to share so much.
Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency the Governor, did you make a mistake? Why did the Black Cloud Group and I share so much."
Youde let Bao Zixuan see that it was only for the purpose of bargaining, and he had dealt with Chinese businessmen for many years. He knew the truth of asking prices everywhere and paying them back on the ground.
Seeing such a high amount to be apportioned, he knew that even if Bao Zixuan was rich, he would not agree. Then you can give him a proper reduction; that is, to give face, but also to make the richest man feel that he is relying on his ability to lower the price to satisfy his vanity.
It can be said that it is a pity that Youde is not in business, but at this time, as the governor of Xiangjiang, Bao Zixuan cannot directly talk about it. If it is an ordinary businessman, you can ignore it. But now the British Hong Kong government is still involved, so I can't give no face at all!
Bao Zixuan: "As far as I know, the entire Xiangjiang has issued a total of 5 billion pounds of war bonds. Now let the Black Cloud Group buy 2 billion at once. If you buy so many war bonds, it will definitely have an impact on business operations."
In fact, this is the data given by Standard Chartered Bank, although large transactions are now through Japanese banks. But the money that Heiyun Group put in Standard Chartered Bank is enough, so although Youde knows it is a bit excessive. But I also believe that as long as the richest man Bao wants to help, then everything is not a problem.
Youde: "As Bao Sheng is the richest man in Xiangjiang, this amount of money should be nothing to you!"
Bao Zixuan: "This is 2 billion pounds. After buying the bonds, it will definitely affect the capital operation of the company. I really want to help the British Empire, but I have to do what I can. There are so many companies in Hong Kong, and HSBC has always been advertised as one of the companies in Hong Kong. Most. I can match HSBC as much as possible, that is to say, Black Cloud will buy as much as they buy.
"If the Heiyun family is responsible for 40% of the entire circulation, I have no way to convince myself, and there is no way to explain it to the staff."
Bao Zixuan knew that he had to pull a pad now, otherwise he really didn't know what would happen.
Youde: "How can HSBC's strength be compared to Heiyun? They may have been the largest company in Hong Kong before. However, they have been in the second position since they were surpassed by Heiyun three years ago. In recent years, HSBC and Heiyun have The gap is becoming more and more obvious.
Bao Zixuan: "Even so, Black Cloud shouldn't have to share so much!"
When Youde heard that Bao Zixuan felt a lot, it was easy to handle. So he said: "As the No. 1 company in Xiangjiang and one of the most well-known companies in the world; Bao Sheng felt that the Heiyun Group should buy as much as possible."
Bao Zixuan: "Half of it!"
Hearing Bao Zixuan say this, Youde wanted to agree immediately, but that would be too obvious, so he said, "This amount is determined based on the tax amount and profitability, so it's not good to drop so much at once."
Although Heiyun Group is not a listed company, it still has to pay taxes as a company. Therefore, as the governor, it is not surprising that Youde knows Heiyun's financial situation. After all, it is always the first in the ranking, and it is impossible to remember.
Bao Zixuan: "Even when we have money, we have earned it back by hard work, and looking at making money, the cost is also not small. Subsequent product upgrades and research and development will require huge financial support, and technology companies are like this. First of all, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Many scientific research projects require a long process, and no results can be seen in a short period of time. This requires a long period of financial support, so it seems that I have made a lot of money, but there is no money at all. Don't dare to move."
Youde: "That's really a little bit. Heiyun Group bought 1 billion pounds of war bonds. Heiyun has more than 500,000 employees in Hong Kong, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to buy 200 million pounds of war bonds!"
Bao Zixuan: "I can promise you the amount purchased by the Black Cloud Group, but I can't say much about the employees of the group. After all, there are many people from other countries in it; I can't let Argentine employees buy bonds to beat themselves!"
Hearing Bao Zixuan say this, Youde didn't say anything. After all, the richest man Bao bought so many war bonds that he had exceeded his expectations. As for the employees, let it go! After all, the big head has been done, and things are more than half successful.
After Bao Zixuan left the study, Youde showed a triumphant smile. It's better to negotiate with young people. If someone like Shen Bi will definitely give you a lot of reasons, and then cry poor, it's more uncomfortable to ask for money than to kill them.
