With the appearance of the first business to buy war bonds, the lobby was briefly rattled. However, those who can come to the Governor's Mansion are relatively high-quality elites and super rich, and they will calm down soon.
At this time, the few people surrounding Shen Bi were very embarrassed. When they were chatting with Shen Bi just now, they felt that they wanted Youde to come over and beg them for a while. Everyone knows that the bonds issued by the British state are a hoax, more to stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of ordinary people.
But the London side didn't want to think about how much the ordinary people in Hong Kong can identify with the UK. After all, during the British rule, the security aspect alone has never been better, and sometimes even the most basic personal safety cannot be guaranteed; it is strange that the common people can identify with the British Hong Kong government.
Of course, Youde also knows that it is impossible to carry out propaganda under the banner of patriotism as in the United Kingdom. The British Empire has never considered the people of Hong Kong to be British. Now it is difficult to think of the people of Xiangjiang, how can they be as enthusiastic as the domestic people. Therefore, he pinned all his hopes on the super rich in Hong Kong. As long as they are willing to contribute, then all this will not be a problem.
The British believed that these tycoons were the vested interests of the British ruling Hong Kong, and they deserved the money when the British Empire needed money for foreign wars.
Compared to Shen Bi and others, the father and daughter in the corner of the hall were even more baffled. Why did John Madden decide to buy 15 million pounds of war bonds without consulting them. What did this British mean? What does Wheelock look like now, where is it still a big man, and whether they take them seriously.
The daughter said to her father: "Dad, why didn't John Madden discuss with you about buying British war bonds? I have been investigating Wheelock's financial situation these days, and it can be said that it is much worse than I imagined. You report!"
The man known as his father said: "How bad can it be, the big deal is to kick the Madden family out. As long as I'm still here, he won't be able to make any waves."
Daughter: "The entire Wheelock has less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars on its books. It needs to pay bank loans, goods payments, employee salaries, etc., a total of 180 million Hong Kong dollars in one month; it needs to pay 520 million Hong Kong dollars within 3 months. If all the money on the books is used to buy UK bonds then next month's wages will be a problem."
Hearing what his daughter said, the middle-aged man felt very unhappy. Although Wheelock is now managed by John Madden, the largest shareholder has long since changed. This British guy used so much money without discussing it with them. If there is no reasonable explanation, he will not be able to pass the test.
Father: "You have been in the UK for many years, and you are studying accounting. How much do you know about the so-called war bonds in the UK, and can we use the British war bonds for mortgage loans?"
Daughter: "In the UK, war bonds are a tricky thing, just under the guise of being patriotic. The British people can still say that they are patriotic when they buy them, but what about the Hong Kong people? We didn't treat our people in Hong Kong as our own, and many things were clearly divided."
"If you use bonds as collateral for loans, the bank may lend you money. However, you need to subsidize interest. After all, the yield of bonds is far less than the interest rate of bank loans. That is to say, we do not need to buy with our own funds, and we may have to subsidize it every year if we buy it entirely with loans. Go out for millions of pounds."
"The United Kingdom is still repaying the debt it owed during the First World War, and the repayment time of the Falklands War Bond may not wait until when."
Hearing his daughter's analysis, the middle-aged man was even more angry. John Madden really doesn't treat himself as an outsider. I don't object to your patriotism, but you can't let everyone pay for it.
John Madden knew he was being scammed the moment Joante announced in public, so he could ignore other people's opinions. But today, the company's largest shareholder came to the Governor's Palace with his daughter who had just returned from the UK, which was an act of arbitrariness.
Moreover, from the method of checking accounts by the daughter of the largest shareholder, I know that it is not a simple role. I heard that she studied financial accounting and other related majors in the UK. It can be said that Wheelock's financial situation is already clear, and now it has been rectified again, isn't it a problem?
He originally thought to report after the dinner party. After all, he could explain that he was forced by the governor to have no choice, so he could only bite the bullet and agree, and the major shareholders who paid some other interests would also let him go. But now that the Governor came to him to get things done, this is not an act of being arrogant and completely disregarding the major shareholders.
Although Wheelock is still managed by the Madden family, many discerning people know it. As long as the major shareholders want, they can withdraw the management right at any time. Originally, people would also take into account the face of the founding family, but now they have broken the rules of the game, and it is not too much for the major shareholders to deal with you.
John Madden finally found the father and daughter, and hurried over. On the way, many people greeted him without paying attention. After all, now is a time when the future and destiny of the Madden family are related.
Seeing Madden coming, the middle-aged father said angrily, "Mr. Madden, shouldn't you give me an explanation!"
The father and daughter are relatively low-key, so there is basically no one in their place. Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, John Madden knew that things were going to be difficult, so it seemed that he could only tell the truth and bite the bullet.
John Madden: "Zhang Sheng, listen to my explanation. Just now, Governor Yoder forced Wheelock to buy war bonds, and he also said that London wanted us to take the lead in buying them. I really can't help it."
"Youde opened his mouth to be 50 million pounds, which is what I came down with."
If Bao Zixuan was by his side, he would be very surprised. This father and daughter are Zhang Yuliang and Zhang Youran, whom he met on the plane five years ago; it can be said that they are the guides he can come to this world.
Zhang Youran has just returned to China this year after completing her undergraduate studies at Cardiff University in the UK and then continuing her postgraduate studies. In order to train her daughter, Zhang Yuliang asked her to do an internship in the financial department of Wheelock, but she did not expect to find out many problems in just a few days. This made him very happy, and at the same time seriously doubted John Madden's ability to manage the enterprise. Let him finally understand a sentence, not all Jews are suitable for business.
Zhang Yuliang: "Whether Youde is holding a gun or a knife, how come I don't see any force on you. You seem to be enjoying it. Do you really think Wheelock is still your Madden family! Treat yourself as an outsider!"
"There is less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in Wheelock's account now, and it needs to pay 180 million Hong Kong dollars in one month; it needs to pay 520 million Hong Kong dollars in three months. I don't know how to get this money back. It's 15 million. Don't the company need to operate, the staff's wages don't need to be paid, or the supplier's payment need not be settled."
"My own ass~www.mtlnovel.com~ I'm still thinking about helping other people's ass. I really don't know what you think. Are you full of mucus!"
It can be said that Zhang Yuliang was not polite to John Madden at all. If John Madden had done it before, he might have done it with him. But now he is not so bold, as the CEO of Wheelock, of course he knows the real situation of the company. If there is no capital injection, it is likely to go bankrupt and reorganize, then the Madden family will really have nothing left, and may also be in debt.
John Madden originally pinned all his hopes on Zhang Yuliang, hoping that the Zhang family could come to the rescue. Although the Zhang family is not as high-profile as other families, it needs to talk about strength. It is estimated that in the entire Xiangjiang, only Heiyun Group Bao Zixuan may really be stronger than Zhang Jia, and it is not necessarily weaker than other wealthy families.
Don't say Zhang Yuliang said a few words to him now, even if you beat him, you have to endure it. After all, this is the most critical moment related to whether he can guarantee his current life, and it is also a life-saving straw that can ensure that the Madden family does not decline.
John Madden: "Zhang Sheng, just now, Governor Yoder really forced me to have no choice. If you need a subsidized loan, the Madden family is willing to take it, but please ask Mr. Wheelock to save Wheelock, otherwise the company will go bankrupt. risk."
Zhang Yuliang knew that even if he killed John Madden, he would first make up for the war bond purchase. Neither the Governor-General nor the British government has been so bold. How could the Zhang family have to live on the ground in Xiangjiang?
