Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 522 Michael-Kadoorie’s Preparations

After the dinner, Zhang Youran did not ask Bao Zixuan to send her back, but chose to go with her parents. Mr. Bao didn't force him, and the driver took him home alone.

Zhang Youran was in a good mood on the way back, and the relationship between the two finally took a big step. It can also be announced that Zheng Jiajia is out. No woman can ignore this biggest competitor.

Seeing the woman's happy smile, the third lady was very pleased. At least my daughter is happy now. This alone is much better than myself.

Zhang Yuliang has never been embarrassed to meet Bao Zixuan, after all, he did bully others back then. No matter what, it is a major matter related to my daughter's happiness and the future development direction of the family, so I couldn't help but ask: "Lao San, what do you think of this young man Bao Zixuan?"

The third lady: "It looks good. Being able to do this from scratch is already very impressive, but she looks very humble. And neither humble nor arrogant. Even when chatting with the British Prime Minister, I feel that they are on the same level. I guess this is what you are doing." It may not be possible. If it can really be good to my daughter, I have no objection."

Seeing her daughter's expression, the third lady continued: "What did Mrs. Thatcher mean when she called Bao Zixuan? It seems that I also need to learn English well."

Zhang Youran heard his mother asking him, and said, "I call Bao Zixuan my junior. They both studied at Oxford University, so they are considered alumni."

Third Madam: "No wonder they seem familiar. It turns out they have known each other for a long time."

Zhang Yuliang: "I'm afraid it's more than that. What kind of person is the Iron Lady? How can she get close to others so easily? Bao Zixuan is engaged in the high-tech manufacturing industry and is the most popular enterprise in any country in the world. It seems that our Zhang family There is a need to change our thinking.”

If Youran has time, you can ask Bao Zixuan to come and sit at home. He has a better understanding of the issues between China and Britain than we do, and he has deep connections in both countries.

When Bao Zixuan returned home, Li Yulin had already rested and did not disturb her mother; he took out his computer and started working. The Iron Lady will soon go to Kyoto, China for a state visit, and the Hong Kong issue will definitely become the focus of the entire world. After the news that the negotiations are not going well, many companies and individuals will be preparing to move away, and it will also be a good time to buy the bottom.

Although he paid some shares of Bao Huodong Mining Company, he also obtained the only land in the Tianshuiwei area that did not belong to Heiyun from Li Chaoren. The real estate market in Xiangjiang will be sluggish in the next few years, leading to a downturn in the entire construction industry. During this period of time, the construction company has nothing to do, so this is an opportunity for me. To be precise, it is the best opportunity to build Tin Shui Wai into Heiyun Town.

If we don't start construction at this time and wait until 1984, the entire labor cost will rise sharply, and the construction cost alone may be more than doubled.

Bao Zixuan is planning the future layout of Heiyun Town in Tianshuiwei. Once the construction is completed, it will surely shock the world.

Bao Zixuan asked Ye Deli to arrange the party and ignored it, but it was a pain for the playboy. The people he has interacted with over the years have been very diverse, and he is engaged in the entertainment and gambling industry. It can be said that the people he has interacted with come from all walks of life. Now that I heard that Mr. Bao was going to hold a party, everyone wanted to go and look familiar.

Some people are just gangsters. If they are brought here without causing a scene, it will be hard to explain in front of Bao Zixuan if something happens. But rejection makes people feel that they are inhumane, which is not easy to handle at all.

Finally, we simply made a rule that no men were allowed to participate. If a beautiful girl comes to sign up, we welcome it. At the same time, we explain to our close friends that next time we hold a party, we must invite Mr. Bao to come, and then we must send invitations to them. This time it was arranged by Mr. Bao, so I can only say sorry.

Ye Deli was quite thoughtful. It would be strange if he invited all the three religions to come over and there wouldn't be any trouble. It can be seen that this person does not just know how to pick up girls, but having said that, people who only know how to pick up girls, Stanley Ho, Huo Yingdong, and Ye Han, do not like him, let alone cooperate with him.

These Bao Zixuan didn't know. Since they promised Zhang Youran that they were just passing by, they didn't pay too much attention. It wasn't until they arrived at the scene that they discovered what a big surprise Ye Deli had arranged for him. Of course, Michael Kadoorie didn't let anyone Disappointed, but the organizer carefully prepared the venue.

According to the time agreed with Michael Kadoorie, Bao Zixuan came to the Peninsula Hotel. The other party is about to go to Iraq. Before leaving, he wanted to discuss the modification of weapons and equipment with Bao Zixuan. These were military products, and the Iraqi military would never let him go if there was a problem.

Bao Zixuan came to Michael Kadoorie's office at the Peninsula Hotel and saw that the decoration inside was very simple. There was a sharp contrast with the hotel room, so he smiled and said: "Mi Gao, I admire you Jews more and more. Money is spent wisely. The hotel is so luxuriously decorated, but I use such a simple office. This is unacceptable." Not admirable."

Michael Kadoorie: "We earn hard-earned money in the service industry, and the office usually doesn't have many customers. Even I don't often work here. Isn't it a waste if the decoration is too luxurious?"

Bao Zixuan: "You Jews all have your own business experience. Most people really can't learn it. Even if they want to learn it, they can't learn it."

"When are you going to Iraq? I heard that the current situation on the battlefield is not very favorable to Lilac."

Beginning in September 1981, Iran began a massive counterattack. At the end of September, Iran concentrated more than 100,000 troops and launched a large-scale counterattack in Abadan, lifting Iraq's siege of Abadan. In late March 1982, after careful deployment, Iran launched the "Operation Victory" offensive, annihilating 2 Iraqi brigades, severely damaging 2 divisions, killing and wounding 25,000 Iraqi soldiers, capturing 15,000 prisoners, and destroying tanks. 360 vehicles, shot down more than 20 aircraft, and seized hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles. On April 20, Iran concentrated nearly three divisions of troops and a large number of Revolutionary Guards of about 100,000 people to launch the "Operation Jerusalem Al-Quds" offensive with the goal of recovering the city of Khorramshahr. After 25 days of fierce fighting, the important southern port city of Khorramshahr was finally recovered. On June 10, Iraq proposed a ceasefire across the board and implemented it unilaterally. It announced that it recognized the continued validity of the Algiers Agreement signed by the two countries in 1975, and was prepared to negotiate with Iran on the basis of recognition of Iraq's fundamental rights. On June 20, it was announced that all troops would be withdrawn from Iran within 10 days. On June 29, its troops had basically withdrawn from Iran.

Iran is not at the mercy of others. If you say you don't want to fight, you won't fight. What do we think of it? The victory on the battlefield made Iran full of confidence and wanted to overthrow the Lirak regime in one fell swoop.

So on July 13, 1982, Iran concentrated 120,000 troops and launched the first Battle of Basra. After many tug-of-wars, by the end of September, the Iranian army controlled a narrow strip of land in Iraq covering an area of ​​more than 200 square kilometers. Starting in October, Iran dispatched another 50,000 troops to launch an offensive in the Mandali region of northern Iraq, penetrating deep into Iraq and posing a threat to Baghdad. The Iraqi army organized seven counterattacks to block the Iranian army along the border. After February 1983, Iran launched a series of offensives again on the central and northern lines. Iraq basically held its line of defense. By the end of March 1984, Iran's offensive had basically stopped.

The current situation on the battlefield is that Iraq is an absolutely weak side, so it is in urgent need of a large number of weapons and equipment. But now that the war has reached this point, Iraq's previous wealth has been wiped out, and the limited funds can only purchase some highly practical weapons and equipment.

The cheaper the price, the better. As long as the operation is simple and cost-effective, it will be fine. It doesn't matter whether it's old or new. Weapons on the battlefield don't last long and are either destroyed or abandoned.

Michael Kadoorie: "This is the reason why I asked you to come here. The Iranians are currently on the offensive very fiercely. The country is in urgent need of weapons and equipment. When will the factory in Jordan be able to complete the modification of weapons."

Bao Zixuan: "The factory there will be able to carry out weapons modification and production by the end of this year. I purchased some old equipment from the Soviet Union and have already completed the modification. All the artillery used is Soviet-made, and the existing ammunition in Iraq can be used universally."

"You can bring some over and let the Iraqis feel the performance of the weapons. The price is even 30% off. After all, we bought it with scrap metal. You need to control this degree yourself. After all, you are also a shareholder of the company and cannot harm the company. Benefit."

Hearing Bao Zixuan say that weapons are so cheap made Michael Kadoorie feel confident, so he wouldn't worry about Lilac's military not buying it.

In fact, last time I was in Poland, after I bought some old weapons and equipment through Little Ustinov. Engineer Heiyun wanted to modify tanks and armored vehicles at Bao Zixuan's request.

After obtaining the military license, we immediately started to install weapon systems. It can be said that these equipment have been completely transformed. It will definitely impress the Iranians.
