Reborn Capital Madman

Since Gao Xian was unwilling to take the initiative to ask for the role of lender of last resort, Shen Bi had to find another agent. He calculated and calculated, and was a little reluctant to use connections that had not been exposed to the outside world. By coincidence, at this time, the following Someone reported that Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi was dissatisfied with his treatment and wanted to negotiate with him.

Shen Bi's eyes suddenly lit up. This person could be put to good use, and he shouldn't refuse.

After receiving the notice of the meeting, Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi looked at a physical examination report dejectedly and muttered to himself, "I am really sick! How could I be so unlucky?"

Under Gao Xian's clever promotion, the British were definitely to blame for the collapse of the Hong Kong dollar and had to give an explanation to the outside world. The most suitable person to take the blame would be to have a public quarrel with Sir Gao. The then president who was accused of inaction Financial Secretary Pang Lai-chi.

There are small circles everywhere. The ghosts in Hong Kong and the ghosts in London will have their own interests and starting points. The ghosts inside and outside the British government in Hong Kong also have different ways of survival.

Peng Lizhi was directly parachuted from a senior executive of Swire to the position of Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Government. It is inevitable that the Hong Kong Government will go through seniority step by step, and the ghosts waiting for promotion will be secretly dissatisfied.

This subtle contradiction can only be understood but cannot be expressed in the Hong Kong government at the current stage, and a consensus has been further formed. Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi is the perfect candidate to take the blame.

One of the specific manifestations is that the Secretary for Economic Affairs of the Hong Kong Government, Chai Hak-shing, became the Deputy Financial Secretary, taking away many of the main tasks that originally belonged to Peng Lizhi, such as studying and implementing the improved currency board system and communicating with the Legislative Council on the independent operation of the Exchange Fund. Hot topics, just like taking over as Financial Secretary.

As for why the Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi was not directly removed, it is simply that the British wanted to keep a fig leaf for themselves.

Let me explain this matter to everyone. There is no need to spread it everywhere, as long as each other is aware of it.

Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi will naturally be arranged to take a vacation. Once the limelight has passed, it will not be too late to make personnel appointments and removals that are easy to imagine.

Peng Lizhi, who had already understood his situation, took it calmly. Anyway, he had a good card in his hand.

I have been caught by the unspoken rules of the officialdom. I have to take the blame for everyone. No matter in Hong Kong or London, I must remember this favor and not treat the heroes badly. Paid vacations and appropriate work arrangements after leaving the Hong Kong government are the best. minimum compensation conditions.

Peng Lizhi, who had figured it out and seen through it all, also took advantage of his position as Financial Secretary to temporarily provide himself with a luxury package of full-body physical examination. Why don't you take a vacation? Of course, you have to give a reasonable explanation.

Then, Peng Lizhi became depressed and could not remain calm. No, the compensation provided by the Hong Kong government, his old employer Taigu, and Huifeng was not enough. In the future, the quality of life of himself and his family will almost only depend on this. The hammer was bought and sold.

Ever since, after receiving the notice of the meeting, Peng Lizhi hurriedly came to see Shen Bi, the Huifeng executive, to really renegotiate the terms.

Shen Bi, who had exhausted all his agencies, had not noticed Peng Lizhi's strange behavior. He was very polite to the Financial Secretary who had been de facto evacuated from his authority and had lost his use value. Everyone has made sacrifices, and so on.

Finally, Shen Bi also made it clear that you are not worried about your treatment in the future. Don't worry. When you come back from vacation and return to the business world, your work will definitely be good.

Unfortunately, the problem is that Peng Lizhi's health is very likely to be incapable of taking on a job that matches the high salary in the future. Furthermore, Shen Bi's solemn promise will greatly reduce Peng Lizhi's appeal.

However, Peng Lizhi is also a good person. Seeing that Shen Bi, who is usually so difficult to deal with, is showing favor to him in every possible way at this time, there must be another reason, so he should remain calm and see what happens. Maybe it will help him raise the price. Woolen cloth.

As expected by Peng Lizhi, Shen Bi saw that Peng Lizhi's expression softened, and he looked like he was reassured, so he began to make a fuss, "Sir Peng Lizhi, I hope you will, before you go on vacation, Do me a favor."

"The ambitious Sir Gao wants the Exchange Fund and Hui Fung to jointly assume the role of lender of last resort in Hong Kong's banking industry, and Hui Fung is also interested in fulfilling this wish. However, neither of us wants to arouse unnecessary associations from the outside world, so We can only ask an intermediary to initiate the initiative on our behalf.”

"I think Sir Alex Peng is the best candidate, what do you think?"

"That's it!" Peng Lizhi suddenly understood, and it didn't take him too long to figure out the mystery.

After all, Peng Lizhi is a person who has been the financial secretary of the Hong Kong government for a period of time. He was also the chairman of the board of directors of Taipei Stock Exchange and the chairman of the board of directors of Cathay Pacific. In terms of high-end intelligence mastery and vision, he is certainly not lacking in these abilities.

Peng Lizhi and Gao Xian had similar reactions. Shen Bi was asking me to do things but also treating me like a monkey.

In Peng Lizhi's view, Gao Xian was indeed ambitious and wanted to achieve great success, but he was not stupid enough to cause any trouble with the last lender in Hong Kong's banking industry when he first took charge of the Exchange Fund. This must have been Shen Bi's witnessing the change of sovereignty. Quan's plan fell through, and further substantive preparations began for Huifeng to evacuate Xiangjiang.

It's understandable that you have wishful thinking, but why don't you make it clear? Do you think I have lost my use value and everyone is no longer on the same level, so don't you take me seriously?

Although Shen Bi noticed the change in the expression on Peng Lizhi's face, he didn't take it seriously. Even if Peng Lizhi guessed some of the truth, so what?

Given Peng Lizhi's current situation, he is lucky enough to have the opportunity to use his spare energy. Man, the most important thing is to know the current affairs!

With Shen Bi taking control of you calmly, Peng Lizhi finally said, "I am willing to serve, but I must agree on the reward first. Compared with Huifeng's long-term plan to safely evacuate Xiangjiang, one million Pounds are not that much!"

"What?" Shen Bi, who was expecting the old god, picked out his ears in disbelief, "Did I hear correctly?"

Peng Lizhi confirmed in a deep voice: "I mean, I understand the true meaning of this favor, so I want a reward of one million pounds!"

"It's unreasonable, it's just crazy." Shen Bi went crazy at that time and angrily rebuked: "You think you are New Bijian, and you want to pay back one million pounds. You are really incompetent. Do you know? You are still the Financial Secretary, be careful that the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigates you for openly asking for bribes!"

Peng Lizhi, who showed no fear, pretended to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and retorted sonorously: "Of course I have enough reasons to want such a reward!"

"I just had a physical examination, and the results are very pessimistic. It is difficult for me to be qualified for the business positions you promised. And I have taken the overall situation into consideration and made sacrifices. It won't take too long for me to be forgotten." Clean! I seize the opportunity and think about the rest of my life. Is there anything wrong with me?"

"Besides, this remuneration is paid by Huifeng, not by you Shen Bi personally. It can be completely included in the funds for Huifeng's secret plan to evacuate Hong Kong. Moreover, Huifeng does not need to abide by the Hong Kong Company Law of listed companies, so it will be easy on the books. Are you so excited about it being perfect?"

"I understand what you mean." Shen Bi waved his hand feebly, "Let me think about it first."

Peng Lizhi sneered without moving his buttocks, "Do you have so much time to think about it?"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you that the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate is still on the sidelines. According to this situation, the time left for the government to study and implement the improved currency board system and the independent operation of the Exchange Fund will be two weeks at most. Otherwise, things will change if it is too late and the situation will change again." Losing control for once.”

"The opportunity for Huifeng to bring in private goods is not always there. After passing this village where the Exchange Fund Regulations were revised, it will be difficult to find a shop that hides from others."

This time it was Shen Bi's turn for the expression on his face to change. Under Peng Lizhi's impatient urging, he finally slammed the table heavily and gritted his teeth and said: "As you wish, remember to do everything perfectly!"

Peng Lizhi nodded with satisfaction and added, "I don't want Huifeng's account. The money will be transferred to a Swiss bank account."

This means that Huifeng obviously can't be trusted. Peng Lizhi is afraid that Huifeng and his gang will cheat and default on their debts.

Shen Bi was so angry that he would go crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it. Peng Lizhi acted like a rogue and indeed took the unexpected initiative. One million pounds is just one million pounds. Anyway, Huifeng is not alone.

…

After confirming with his own eyes that the "advance payment" of 500,000 pounds was secure, most of the depression that had been lingering in Peng Lizhi's heart for many days was gone. Go to hell with the overall situation! The most important thing for him at the moment is to seize everything. Possible opportunity to make money!

Peng Lizhi, who became more and more proficient in business skills, started to help Huifeng "run errands" and contacted Sir Gao through the Financial Secretary's channel to ask for a meeting.

Although the media has hyped up the relationship between Sir Gao and Peng Lizhi, in fact, Gao Xian really didn't take this ghost guy seriously. For him, Peng Lizhi was just a tool to take advantage of the situation. Once it's over, there's no need to worry about remembering it, let alone too many personal likes and dislikes.

Since Peng Lizhi is helping Huifeng run errands, come and sit down and just receive him normally.

However, when Peng Lizhi sat down on the sofa opposite, Gao Xian was sensitively aware that the person he hadn't seen for just a few days seemed a little different. How can I describe it? A kind of risk-taking energy.

To be honest, Gao Xian didn't like this feeling very much, because situations like this often couldn't be completely treated with common sense.

Therefore, Sir Gao calmly got to the point and said: "Sir Peng Lizhi proposed that the Exchange Fund assist Huifeng in assuming the role of the last resort lender in Hong Kong's banking industry. It is really appropriate."

While Peng Lizhi was sipping tea leisurely, he carefully considered the nuances of Shen Bi and Gao Xian's rhetoric about the last lender in the Hong Kong banking industry, such as alliance and assistance. After a while, he leisurely He continued: "With Sir Gao's shrewdness, he must be able to realize that the Exchange Fund and Huifeng jointly assume the responsibility of being the lender of last resort in Hong Kong's banking industry, which has an extraordinary and deep meaning, right?"

"This Peng Lizhi is really a little weird. He is running errands for Huifeng and he just does things in a strict manner. As for the window paper, does it have to be broken?" Sir Gao, who kept thinking about it, chuckled and said, "Facing Huifeng's

Good intentions', do I have a choice?"

"That's true." Peng Lizhi nodded, "Then Sir Gao, have you ever considered that since you have to do something, how can you change from passive to active and get the greatest real benefits?"

Sir Gao asked curiously: "Then I will take the liberty to ask Sir Peng Lizhi to give me some advice."

Peng Lizhi coughed lightly and said: "To be honest with Sir Gao, I just had a physical examination, and the results were quite pessimistic. I estimate that I will really retire after my vacation, so I have to make some plans for my future life...

…”

Sir Gao asked bluntly and understandingly: "How much consulting fee does Sir Peng Lizhi want?"

Seeing Gao Xian being so crisp and agile, Peng Lizhi couldn't help but worry about gain and loss. He stretched out a slap, shook it, then put away two fingers, and offered the price without any doubt: "Three hundred thousand... pounds!"

Seeing Gao Xian's laughter, Peng Lizhi sensitively thought that although it was not very harmful, it was extremely insulting. He immediately blushed slightly and laughed at himself: "It seems that Sir Gao, like everyone else, thinks that I have passed away.

It’s gone, it has no use value anymore.”

"Sir Peng Lizhi misunderstood, I just think your position is interesting." Sir Gao waved his hand and explained without leaving any trace, "Actually, Sir Peng Lizhi's financial secretary and chairman of the board of directors of Taigu Xiangjiang,

With the qualifications of the chairman of the board of directors of Cathay Pacific, the consulting fee of 300,000 pounds... is quite reasonable."

Sir Gao's compliment greatly benefited Peng Lizhi, who had been memorizing calligraphy recently. He asked, "So Sir Gao agrees to this condition?"

"It is true that Sir Peng Lizhi's opinion is reasonable no matter how high the price is, but we must also consider whether it is of value to me." Gao Xian said playfully: "How about Sir Peng Lizhi, you first put your own

Tell me your opinion, and then I will decide whether to pay you."

"Okay, then it's settled!" Peng Lizhi actually agreed, "It is true that there may be problems in my relationship with Sir Gao, but I have never doubted Sir Gao's integrity."

At this point, Peng Lizhi handed over a document, "This is the draft revision of the Exchange Fund Regulations. I think some content should be added."

"Take the Exchange Fund and Hui Fung as the lender of last resort in Hong Kong's banking industry. If there is a bank crisis, does the Exchange Fund really have to pay for it out of its own pocket and help Hui Fung share the expenses?"

"In fact, Hui Feng, as the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, has a corresponding obligation to use the monopoly profits earned from its role as the settlement center of the Hong Kong banking system as a reserve fund for the lender of last resort."

"Specifically, Huifeng should open an account with the Exchange Fund to store the settlement balance of the Hong Kong banking system, and the Exchange Fund has the power to use this account."

Sir Gao said calmly: "Sir Peng Lizhi, I am not bullying you. These suggestions of yours are nothing new to me. The reason why I did not mention it to Shen Bi is because the only way is to ensure that the Exchange Fund operates independently and becomes formal."

My first priority is no need to touch Huifeng's sensitive nerves with extraneous details."

"Sir Gao will not deny that this opportunity to reshape Hong Kong's financial order is relatively easy to finalize some rules that are usually difficult to achieve, and it will be easy for all parties to accept it." Peng Lizhi showed his trump card: "

As the proposer, I have such convenience."

Gao Xian laughed again, "Sir Peng Lizhi, you are very unsatisfied now. This is an indisputable fact, but I will not doubt your ability because of this, but it is difficult for me to understand your position. If you don't say Taigu, let's say Hui.

Feng, my relationship with you must be very close, and your suggestions are helping me!"

Peng Lizhi opened his mouth. For a moment, he couldn't explain his subtle mental journey. Finally, he threw away his hand in annoyance and snorted angrily, "Since Sir Gao doesn't trust me, then forget it and leave!"

"Wait a minute." Sir Gao put away his smile, stood up, and asked meaningfully: "Sir Peng Lizhi has trustworthy relatives and friends in the UK, and he can work in companies including Stamford Bridge Company."

"If Sir Alex Peng can really turn his suggestions into reality, it will be a reality pushed by you British people..." At this point, Sir Gao stretched out his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and shook it, "Then,

Sir Alex Peng's consulting fee should be respected and worth the price!"

After hearing this, Peng Lizhi, who had eaten Hui Feng and Gao Sir, felt so good eating both ends.

As the founder of Gao's business empire and Gao's financial empire, Sir Gao has extraordinary courage and is much happier than Shen Bi. Not only did he agree to the conditions, he also took the initiative to raise his salary by more than half.

Satisfied, Peng Lizhi immediately high-fived Gao Xian and said, "Then it's settled. It was the British themselves who asked Huifeng to hand over the settlement account to the Exchange Fund. Sir Gao has nothing to do with it."

Seeing that Peng Lizhi was on the road, Gao Xian became more and more surprised. This person has changed a lot, but as long as he can really exert his self-proclaimed value, there is no need to distract himself from the current extremely busy situation.

After further research, as for the so-called reward, it doesn't even matter.

Thinking of this, Sir Gao self-reflected without hesitation: "Gao is young and energetic. He was very offensive to Sir Peng Lizhi in his words a few days ago. Please forgive Sir Peng Lizhi."

Peng Lizhi stubbornly defended his last self-esteem, "Sir Gao, you are the winner, there is no need to be so pretentious. Now, you pay and I do the work, that's all!"

"Oh, it seems that I didn't come here to return to the business world, make good friends, and settle grudges, but just want to make a one-time deal." Sir Gao, who secretly eliminated a possibility, shrugged as usual, "

That's fine, let's just trade. If Sir Peng Lizhi has any wise suggestions in the future, he can still sell them to me."
