Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 752 In Progress

actually

  Li Guowei's concerns are also Yang Chen's concerns.

   Before, Yang Chen just wanted to teach Yihe a lesson, but that's how people's ambitions are. When you're so strong that you don't need to worry about your opponent, you'll think about putting him to death.

   It's just that Jardine, as an old-fashioned foreign firm, has a very large influence in Xiangjiang. If he wants to swallow the other party, the Governor's Office will come forward to stop him.

   After all, Jardine Matheson has contributed to the economic development of Xiangjiang. As one of the earliest British-owned foreign firms to settle in Xiangjiang, the development of Jardine Road has been largely supported by the Governor’s Office.

  Fortunately, the former Governor MacLehose has stepped down. Although the new Governor Youde is not very familiar with him, likewise, he has no deep friendship with the top officials of Jardine.

   In this way, the opportunity is not without.

  摁, this is just the wishful thinking of Boss Yang, Jardine is a British-owned enterprise, and Governor Youde, as a British, obviously cannot helplessly watch such an old-fashioned foreign firm being swallowed up by others.

   "What is Mr. Li's impression of our new Governor Youde? If we take action against Jardine, will the Governor's Office intervene?"

  Li Guowei frowned: "Chairman, the new Governor Youde is not the same as the previous Governor MacLehose, and he is not a very talkative person."

  Li Guowei is not only the general manager of Jardine, but also serves as a member of the two councils. He is considered to be a relatively influential figure in the Governor's Mansion, and can speak directly to the Governor.

  Press, that's all.

   Under the jurisdiction of the British, the so-called parliamentarians are very different from those elected by the people after the self-government of Hong Kong in later generations.

  Xiangjiang under the jurisdiction of the British, the parliamentarians mainly use it to win over the Chinese on the surface. It sounds good, but in fact, they have no rights at all, and they only receive a few salaries at most.

   "Is it difficult to speak?"

   Yang Chen smiled noncommittally. Whether a politician speaks well or not depends on whether the object is worth their attention. If it is someone who is important, even a politician who is not easy to speak will greet him with a smile.

After thinking about it, Yang Chen no longer considered whether the Governor's Office would intervene, and went straight: "I don't want to think about this for now, the Sino-British negotiation will be the highlight, I think the Governor-General should not have time to take care of our trivial matters. "

   Having said that, Yang Chen actually had a word in his heart that he didn't say, that is, even if the new governor came forward to stop him, it would depend on whether he had the ability.

If the word    Governor was placed before World War II, it would have been worth mentioning. During the period when the British were strong, local governors like Youde had astonishing power.

   During the war, even the army can be dispatched, and the change of the position of the governor in each place requires a compromise between various forces within the United Kingdom.

  The benefits in the middle are far from what we can compare now.

  As the former British colonies became independent, the role of the governor became less and less, and many British politicians were reluctant to go to various independent countries to take over the position of governor.

  Because, once he takes over the post of Governor, it is equivalent to being exiled by old age.

   Of course, the position of governor here in Xiangjiang is still quite weighty. Although the site and population are a little smaller, it cannot hold up the economic development.

   However, no matter how good the economy is, it cannot change the fact that the post of Governor has declined in gold in the UK.

  The first-level official crushed people to death. Don’t look at the distance between Xiangjiang and the British mainland, but with the change of the times, the days when the emperor was far away are long gone.

   At present, most of the executive orders of the Governor's Office are directly issued by the British mainland, and the power of the Governor has been severely reduced.

   Now that he is making big moves in the UK, as long as he finds someone to talk to Governor Youde, whether the other party dares to come forward is a problem.

   As for the Jardine Group, to be honest, as an old-fashioned foreign firm, if the strength of the British in Asia does not subside, it will naturally be able to find someone to help.

   Now, the UK itself is in a state of turmoil, and there is no need to pay attention to the life and death of a foreign company whose roots are concentrated in Asia.

   Seeing Boss Yang's disapproval, Li Guowei didn't say much. Li Guowei admired his own chairman.

   To talk about who Xiangjiang pays the most attention to Yang Chen, there is no doubt that it is Li Guowei and his subordinates.

  According to the ideas of Li Guowei and others, if they are subordinates, if they don’t even know their own bosses and don’t pay attention, how can they become good subordinates.

  Since ancient times, figuring out what to do has been a compulsory course for ministers. Although Yang Chen is not an emperor, Li Guowei and the others rely on him for food.

  Whether the job is stable or not is one thing, but knowing how to be a person is the key.

   Without waiting for Li Guowei to think about it, Yang Chen continued: "Next, from Manager Zheng's side, I hope that Mr. Li can help. For some things, Mr. Li has to go out."

Zheng Hiquan and others are in the stock market, and they have no problem dealing with the Jardine Group, but they want them to deal with those Jardine shareholders and buy Jardine's shares from those shareholders. People with too shallow seniority and insufficient personal connections, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this task.

   As the big boss, Yang Chen couldn't personally go off the court to provoke hatred. It was always the subordinates who charged into the battle, he only needed to wave the flag behind his back to command.

   Hit a stick and give a sweet date. Not everyone is tolerant and generous, and they don't care about him. In this world, there is no shortage of people who are determined.

   There will always be some people who will give up their minds, eat soft and not hard, how did the jade burn come from, and make up their own minds.

   When dealing with that kind of person, he asked Big Boss Yang to apologize and negotiate with others. Yang Chen said that he couldn't do it, and he didn't have the ability.

   However, Li Guowei is different.

   As the general manager of Hang Seng Bank, there are too many people who have friendship with Li Guowei because of Hang Seng Bank's status in the arena of Hong Kong.

   Coupled with Li Guowei's smooth and tactful way of dealing with things on weekdays, negotiating this kind of work and leaving it to the other party to solve it is the right choice.

   A hint of helplessness flashed in Li Guowei's eyes, but there was no hesitation in his mouth, "Chairman, don't worry, it's okay to leave Xiangjiang to me."

  Hang Seng Bank’s sphere of influence in the past was only Hong Kong. This time, Boss Yang made up his mind to take action against the entire Jardine Group. In addition to being listed in Hong Kong, the Jardine Group is also listed on the London Stock Exchange in the United Kingdom.

   In other words, if you want to deal with the Jardine Group, you must start at the same time.

  Otherwise, if you only attack one side, the Jardine will be damaged at most, and will not collapse directly.

   Yang Chen naturally knew this. On the London side, he had already arranged it, and Li Guowei didn't need to worry about it. The British are different from the Chinese. In front of interests, favors and other things can only be ranked second.

  As long as the pros and cons are spread out, things can be easily resolved. Only the Xiangjiang side will be more troublesome. Jardine has been rooted in Xiangjiang for too long, and the interests involved involve all aspects. It is difficult to overthrow the Jardine Group without extraordinary means.
