The time when the Governor of Hong Kong arrived at the Bao Mansion was very late, after all, where is the identity. Even if he is idle and bored, it is impossible to arrive early, which not only reduces his status, but also makes people say that he is not working hard enough and actively. As a veteran politician, MacLehose can be said to have reached the level of perfection in timing.
The reporters are very excited today. It is not easy to see so many super tycoons at once. However, some people were still unwilling, and even Governor MacLehose came to celebrate his birthday in person. Bao Zixuan still didn't show up. This was because he didn't attend the Huo Mansion's banquet last time, and he didn't attend the tycoon's party for the second time.
Many people are full of curiosity about what the richest man Bao is doing. Not going to any parties one after another doesn't seem like something a super tycoon would do. Many people think he is just too crazy, but some people understand. After all, the richest man in Bao is a science and engineering talent, and he may put more effort into the laboratory. If he does, it is understandable. After all, everyone has their own living habits, and others have no right to interfere.
Although MacLehose's assets are not the highest, he is probably the poorest in this group; but if he appears anywhere in Hong Kong, it will definitely become the focus. How to say he is also the Governor of Xiangjiang, at this time Xiangjiang is still managed by the British. When it's time to give face, you still have to give it, after all, people can make trouble for you.
When the charter king saw MacLehose, he said, "I feel that Your Excellency the Governor is able to come over to attend my birthday party during your busy schedule. Your presence makes the whole Baofu shine."
At this time, MacLehose did not dare to take off, after all, he was nothing if he left his post. The charter king is already a super rich man, and most importantly, he also wants to form a good relationship before leaving.
MacLehose: "Bao Sheng is too polite. I would also like to thank you for inviting me over. You are the most important business leader in Hong Kong, and I want to come here both in public and private."
"Yu Gong, you are a big taxpayer in Xiangjiang, and you have made outstanding contributions to the economic development of Xiangjiang. Yu Zi, I have always regarded you as my good friend. How can I not congratulate my friend on his birthday?"
It can be said that MacLehose has lived in Hong Kong for many years, and has already mastered the social channels of the Chinese. At this time, whether it is language or culture, it is definitely an authentic Huaxia Tong, and the vernacular is also very fluent.
Knowing that today might be his last chance, MacLehose considers himself to be a more effective governor. If he can't solve the problem of the tendency of the charter king, it is estimated that his successor, Sir Youde, will not have any good solution to this matter.
The charter king didn't expect MacLehose to be so polite. After all, the governor would never speak like that before. When things go wrong, there must be demons, so it seems that we still have to be careful. Don't be taken advantage of by these politicians, or you may really be sorry for your ancestors.
Chartered Ship King: "All of our achievements are inseparable from your support. It is under your governance that Xiangjiang is prosperous today."
I know that the charter king is a polite word, but MacLehose wants this effect. So he took the opportunity to say: "It seems that Bao Sheng understands the efforts of our Hong Kong and British government. Have you ever thought that Hong Kong will be able to maintain such prosperity after Huaxia takes over! Will your assets be protected? These are issues to be considered. "
The charter king did not expect that MacLehose had reached such a stage at this time, but this made him take the lead in resisting the return. If you really do this, then you will really become a traitor. It seems that you should be more careful in everything in the future.
Charter King: "The issue of the return of the Xiangjiang River is a matter between China and the United Kingdom. We can't really do much. And it's politics. I'm just a businessman, and I don't understand and don't like to be involved in politics."
If you can't take yourself out at this time, let the British seize the opportunity. Maybe he was really used as a typical propaganda, then his reputation as the charter king and even the entire Bao family would be ruined.
At that time, it is estimated that the entire Chinese world will know that there is a big traitor in the Bao family, and he cannot bear this crime.
Hearing that the charter king would not take up this issue, MacLehose could only change the subject. Otherwise, there is really no way to continue. Everyone is a smart person who always digs holes for others. Who would dare to continue chatting with you.
MacLehose: "Why didn't I see Bao Zixuan of the Black Cloud Group today? I saw that almost all the tycoons in Hong Kong came to attend your birthday party."
The British also wanted to know what Bao Zixuan was doing. But Hong Kong is a society that pays attention to democracy and the rule of law, at least that's what the British publicize. Without breaking the law, no one dares to go to other people's enterprises to make trouble. If you do, you can expect to be prosecuted!
The charter king knew that MacLehose wanted to know about Bao Zixuan through him, but he didn't know it himself. So he said, "I have invited Bao Zixuan to participate, but he is currently working on a project. So he didn't come, but he asked someone to send a gift."
"He's different from us. Bao Zixuan is a technical boss. Many products are designed by ourselves. We are all trade bosses. We don't know much about technology, and we don't dare to jump to conclusions."
Hearing that even Bao Yugang didn't know what Bao Zixuan was doing, Huo Yingdong probably couldn't understand. Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell himself, MacLehose was thinking about how to get Bao Zixuan to come over to the Christmas banquet.
This was the last time he invited people to the Christmas banquet as the Governor of Hong Kong. If Bao Zixuan couldn't come, the significance of this banquet would be greatly reduced. After all, there were already nearly 350,000 people working for Bao Zixuan. It's not just a matter of money, it can even decide the fate of many voters.
Although MacLehose is the most important among the guests, all the guests who come here are guests. Unwilling to neglect other people, and the charter king is the only protagonist today, staying by the Governor's side for a long time will inevitably make people fall into trouble.
The chartered ship Wang Yi came over to greet the people who wished him his birthday. The people who could come over were all tycoons from Xiangjiang. It can be said that the quality of the chartered birthday is still very high, at least in terms of the quality and strength of the participants.
At this time, the most discussed issue among the tycoons is about the return of Xiangjiang, after all, it is related to their vital interests. But seeing so many British people today, no one dared to provoke this topic lightly. What should you do if the British ask you to express your opinion for a while, even if your heart is on the motherland, you will have to endure it for more than ten years, and the British will not feel good for you to wear small shoes.

The second topic is what is Bao Zixuan doing After all, Bao's richest man has now become the investment vane of many industries in Hong Kong. The properties, stocks, bonds, etc. purchased by him and the entire Black Cloud Department are growing steadily, which is a rather rare achievement.
And now that I have been in retreat for so many days to engage in research and development, the research is definitely not simple. After all, no project of the Black Cloud Group has received such attention.
Dong Haoyun is the most asked by everyone. After all, the relationship with Bao Zixuan is discussed here. Dong Haoyun said second, no one dared to say first. But at this time he didn't know how to answer, after all, Bao Zixuan just asked someone to give him a message. At this time, the project has entered a critical stage and will not attend any banquets in the near future, so let Mr. Dong help explain.
The charter king's birthday party was quite happy, but there was one exception. That is our old man Bao, and he was always gloomy because he didn't see Bao Zixuan today. Although the Bao family saw some things, they didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there were too many people coming to the birthday party today, and everyone was a little too busy just to receive guests.
Butler Wu looked at Mr. Bao and said: "Master, today Master Bao Zixuan also asked someone to send a gift. And I heard from Mr. Dong that Mr. Bao has passed a message through him, and he has no time to attend any parties or banquets in the near future. Don't blame him when you go to KW, and make up for it after the research and development is completed."
Hearing this, Mr. Bao finally felt a little bit happy, but he was also wondering if he might arrange to meet Li Yulin in the near future. Some things still have to be made clear, she can't let her bring the secret to the coffin.
