Reborn Capital Madman

British politicians have a strong emphasis on business and reality, and their external manifestations are of great negotiating patience and skills.

MacLeho, who was a diplomat, was more proficient in this. He reached a consensus with Gao Xian in a short while, so that Gao Xian agreed and used the resources he had to help the Hong Kong government cope with the energy shortage crisis.

As the conversation deepened, Hong Kong Governor McLeho asked worriedly: "David, judging from what you saw and heard in the Middle East, how long will the oil embargo that triggered this energy shortage crisis last?

”

Gao Xian has the obligation to keep the inside story of his trip to the Middle East, but there are still some things to talk about with people of MacLeho's level.

"It depends on the progress of peaceful mediation between US Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger." Gao Xian pondered: "The toughest faction in the Arab world requires the Middle East to return to its state before the outbreak of the First Middle East War in 1948.

, but Israel will never agree.”

"And countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, which have had direct and direct wars with Israel several times, have recognized the fact that Israel cannot defeat, and have thus demanded that the Middle East region resume to the third Middle East War in 1967

The state before the outbreak.”

"When I contacted Egyptian President Sadat, he had already expressed that Egypt was willing to have a direct dialogue with Israel."

"This move is tantamount to a turning point in the Arab world's attitude towards Israel, which is equivalent to the first time that it recognizes the existence of Israel."

"By this, Israel will sit down and talk to Egypt, and then release the prisoners of war from the Third Legion of Egypt, and even return the Sinai Peninsula far from Israel."

"But since Israel has occupied the sensitive and core areas like the West Bank and East Jerusalem, it is hard to talk about."

"At the end of the day, the Arab world is not good at combat effectiveness and lacks enough bargaining chips. The demands of interest can only be put under pressure on Israel by the international community."

"Under this situation, although the peaceful mediation of US Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger is optimistic, the process will definitely not be achieved overnight. Speaking of the first quarter of next year, it will be quite smooth to come up with an agreement that all parties are willing to accept."

Hong Kong Governor McLeho, with his past diplomatic experience, felt that everything Gao Xian said was reasonable, and he couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, the energy shortage crisis in Hong Kong will be delayed until next year at least."

Seeing this, Gao Xian began to play his role and took the opportunity to advise: "Super Xian, this energy shortage crisis is really difficult. Just rely on one channel here, especially considering the fact that far-reaching water cannot quench near thirst.

, I'm afraid it will still not be able to solve the huge energy gap under the rapid economic development of Xiangjiang."

When it comes to the rapid economic development of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Governor MacLeho is even more worried.

You should know that this year's Xiangjiang Chicken's farts have maintained a growth rate of more than double digits, and it is estimated that it will be more than 12% throughout the year.

But as soon as the energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang broke out, the momentum slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye. What will happen next year?

The effective energy saving measures that the Hong Kong government can take out at this stage are nothing more than forcing four million people to tighten their belts, control lights, and even implement summer time in the middle of winter.

The bosses’ basic energy needs for keeping cold in winter cannot be compressed, but they must also try their best to meet them. Otherwise, there will be another riot similar to that in 1967. What should we do?

At the same time, to keep Xiangjiang's economy moving forward, it is inseparable from high-energy-consuming activities such as factory construction, talk about transportation, etc.

The current entanglement of Hong Kong Governor MacLeho's current confusion is exactly what he said: if he is not in charge of the family, he doesn't know that vegetables, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

"Now, the whole world is short of oil. As you said just now, everyone is willing to pay a high price to reserve your oil source in Brunei." Governor MacLeho's eyes were full of hope, "In this case, the situation

Next, can David find other better energy supply channels?"

Gao Xian acted cautiously and gave a vaccination in advance and said, "Duanxian, the way I consider the problem is based on the perspective of a businessman, and then the Zhengzhi aspect may not be taken care of."

"Speak freely," Hong Kong Governor MacLeho laughed: "David went to the Middle East as a private person this time to peacefully mediate the front-end station for US Secretary of State Dr. Kissinger, and the results are very good."

"Then I'll tell you what I think." Gao Xian nodded, "A few months ago, China successfully held an unprecedented Canton Fair."

"During the process of Gaoxing Group participating in commercial activities, I learned about a situation where China has the ability and intention to export petroleum products."

Governor McLeho subconsciously confirmed, "Is this true?"

"The news is true." Gao Xian replied: "On April 10 this year, China and Japan officially signed a contract to export one million tons of crude oil to Yibo; on May 15, Yibo has fully released oil."

The Sanxiongwan oil tanker began to transport the first batch of crude oil to Yipeng."

"Among the four major petroleum products, gasoline, diesel, kerosene and lubricating oil, the most urgent supply of kerosene is necessary for the basic life of the people of Xiangjiang, which can be guaranteed by importing kerosene from China."

Gao Xian's proposal did not surprise the Governor MacLeho too much.

Because Xiangjiang is a resource-scarce area. When there was a severe water shortage in the 1960s, it relied on the mainland to transport fresh water, and a normal project had been formed.

However, just as Gao Xian wants to get a vaccination, it is inevitable that there will be something in the right way.

Fortunately, compared with the tense relationship in the 1960s, the relationship between China and Western capitalist countries is constantly improving at this stage.

After considering it for a long time, Hong Kong Governor McLeho said, "David, I will hold an Executive Council meeting tomorrow to announce that you will become an unofficial MP of the Executive Council and assist the principal in solving the energy shortage problem."

As soon as he heard this, Gao Xian immediately understood that the desperate Governor MacLeho, in disguise, agreed to his own idea to import petroleum products from the mainland.

So Gao Xian immediately made a solemn statement, "Then I will go back to the meeting and convey the opinion of the governor of the constitution."

...

When Gao Xian walked out of the Governor's Office, he found that there were still many reporters waiting outside. He ignored it and quickly got on the bus, returned to the headquarters of Gaoxing Group to hold a meeting.

"You have all had supper, right?" Gao Xian asked Ye Licheng, Li Ruoxi and others.

"I just had a working meal." Li Ruoxi and Zhang Luo said: "Boss, you don't have time to eat yet. The rice noodles made in the canteen today are very good. Do you want to have a serving?"

"Give me one, I haven't eaten the food in Xiangjiang for a while, and I'm really a little uncomfortable..." Gao Xian said, picking up the phone and contacting Huo Yingdong, "Huo Sheng, I'll listen

Say, you and Mr. Liu Haoqing jointly established a company called Oriental Petroleum?"

Huo Yingdong replied with a sensation and said: "There is such a thing. The company is not large in scale, with a registered capital of only HK$1.9 million. The two companies each account for half of the equity and have obtained the export agency rights for mainland petroleum products.

”

Because telephone communication is not absolutely safe, Gao Xian suggested: "Huo Sheng, if it is convenient, I would like to talk to you more in detail overnight, and it would be best if Mr. Liu Haoqing can also be present."

Huo Yingdong replied: "Okay, we will wait for you at the China Recreation."

After Gao Xian put down the phone, he took the chopsticks handed over by Zhou Chengchang, killed a bowl of rice noodles in a few seconds, then wiped his mouth and ordered: "Stay a meeting!"

...

There were more than a dozen middle and senior managers of Gaoxing Group sitting in the conference room, and they had been waiting for a long time.

After briefly listening to the regular report, Gao Xian went straight to the topic and said: "The Governor intends to let me join the Administration Bureau of the Main Government to assist the Main Government in coping with the energy shortage crisis."

"So, Gaoxing Energy Company's strings must be tightened. Of course, your own business interests must be taken into account, but at the same time, you must have a sense of the overall situation."

When they heard that the boss was going to enter the Hong Kong Government Administration Bureau, everyone looked proud on their faces. The Gaoxing Group, which they worked for, has reached a new level, which is enough to compete with those old companies on the official side.

.

Gao Xian continued slowly, "I promised the Governor to increase the supply of petroleum products as much as possible while stabilizing the price as possible."

"You all understand the meaning of this."

"In short, international oil companies such as Shell, Mobil, and Texaco only care about their own interests, making the Governor angry, and we must do it, the price is lower than them, the supply is sufficient, and the winning amount is greater than them, and the winning amount is greater than them.

Half the market share.”

"It is completely imagined how intense this confrontation will be if you block people's way of wealth, like killing your parents."

"With the support of the Governor, we can naturally let go. We should let the Governor vent our anger on the face, gain a public image with a strong sense of social responsibility in public opinion, and gain more than half of the market share in interests."

After hearing such a fruitful instruction, everyone understood it, just do it!

Li Ruoxi said: "Boss, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting and Zhonghua Electric have contacted us many times, hoping to sign a long-term and stable oil supply contract."

After drinking a sip of water and moistening the throat, Gao Xian pointed out: "Of course we can supply the oil needed by two power plants, but if we want to control the cost of the power plants in the context of today's energy shortage and high oil prices, we must

Think about it carefully, how can we really work closely together?"

Everyone looked at each other and said to the boss’s implication that he wanted to become an important shareholder of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting and Zhonghua Electric Power.

At this time, Zhou Chengchang came over and whispered to Gao Xian: "Huo Sheng just called and said they had arrived at the China recreation."

Gao Xian nodded slightly and stood up, "Let's get the meeting here. Remember, in the Xiangjiang energy market before, we were sheep; but now, we are tigers hunting."

...

After Gao Xian came to the China recreational party, he met Huo Yingdong and Liu Haoqing as he wished.

Of course, the driving force of this talks is the export agency rights of mainland petroleum products held by Oriental Petroleum Company founded by Huo Yingdong and Liu Haoqing.

Although Xiangjiang is just a small place, there are countless outstanding people in the business world.

Liu Haoqing belongs to the old generation of entrepreneurs and is known as the King of Xiangjiang Oil in the "old script". However, now that Gaoxian is in chaos in time and space, it is hard to say what the title belongs to.

It is obvious that Liu Haoqing, like Huo Yingdong, is deeply trusted by the top leaders of the mainland. Otherwise, the Oriental Petroleum Company they founded would not have obtained the export agency rights for mainland petroleum products.

The privacy of the Chinese recreational is nothing to say, so everyone speaks freely.

Huo Yingdong was convinced: "Mr. Gao's accurate analysis of the current situation can only be described as far-sighted."

Gao Xian smiled slightly and tasted Huo Yingdong's subtext.

It was under Gao Xian's instigation that Huo Yingdong crossed the border into the oil field and founded Oriental Petroleum Company with Liu Haoqing, which owns the right to export oil products from the mainland.

With such sufficient preparations, Oriental Petroleum Company will definitely be able to start exporting to Xiangjiang at a very fast speed.

Sure enough, Liu Haoqing directly took out the dry goods, "We have obtained the index of more than 4,000 tons of kerosene from the mainland. As long as Mr. Gao clears all the links, the tanker can set sail."

Gao Xian raised his eyebrows, "Transport by boat."

Liu Haoqing smiled bitterly and said, "Although the shipping is a little slower, it is the most convenient way of transportation at present."

Huo Yingdong echoed: "Yes, Mr. Gao, although there is a railway between Hong Kong and Guangdong, if the tanker truck wants to drive into Xiangjiang, the troubles are not ordinary! After towing it, it is the most important thing for shipping.

safe."

Thinking about it, Gao Xian put down his concerns and said, "When I join the official administration tomorrow, and with the official voice, I can formally request Oriental Petroleum Company to take import operations."

Huo Yingdong and Liu Haoqing both spoke in awe and said in awe: "Mr. Gao is young and promising. He joined the administrative bureau so quickly. It is admirable."

...

It can be roughly understood in this way that the mechanism formed by the addition of the Hong Kong Governor and the Administrative Bureau in the colonial era - "the Governor and the Administrative Bureau" - is the highest administrative power in Xiangjiang.

At this stage, the UK has not realized that it will return Xiangjiang, so the legislative body of Xiangjiang, the Legislative Council, is similar to a rubber seal, and the real power to rule over more than 600 square kilometers of territory and four million people is in the "Governor General's Association"

Administration Bureau there.

In fact, in the mechanism of "Governor General and Administrative Bureau", as long as the Governor of Hong Kong is willing, he has the final decision-making power, and others are the foil of the consultant role.

In the Hong Kong Administrative Bureau, there are four members of the MP, including the commander of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, the Division of Administration, the Finance Department and the Division of Justice; the rest of the members are appointed by the Hong Kong Governor and are divided into "official guard" members and "non-official guard" members.

.

After Gao Xian was pulled into the Executive Bureau by Hong Kong Governor MacLehore, he was a "non-official" MP. His size was about ten people, and none of them were well-known social figures in Hong Kong.

As long as Gao Xian enters the appointment of the administrative bureau, the word "Your Excellency" will be added to his official title.
