Chapter 435： Christmas Dinner at the Governor's Office

————

Bao Zixuan continued to play and disappear, and now people have become accustomed to it. Including Xiangjiang people are not very concerned, after all, it has been a long time. In addition, Li's TV station had several episodes of Tycoon's day, which made the show a bit sour, and its attention was greatly reduced.

At this time, everyone in the Weasel Factory of Heiyun Group in Tianshuiwei is carefully checking every data; checking the accuracy of each part. After three months of inhuman life, the engineers finally saw a glimmer of hope; their first ground-effect aircraft prototype was about to be assembled.

If I was looking at these people at this time, if they were not very familiar relatives and friends, it would be difficult to recognize them. Everyone's mental state is not very good; some have long hair, and some simply have a bald head. The engineers at the Weasel Factory work so hard every day that they hardly have time to do anything other than work. The time for eating and bathing here must be calculated accurately, otherwise it will drag down the entire project progress.

But at such a critical time, Joante, assistant to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, came to the Black Cloud Group. He came to give Bao Zixuan an invitation and invited him to the Christmas charity dinner held by the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

But what made Joante angry was that Bao Zixuan really didn't give face. You can shirk the banquet between Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang. Before people were not in Xiangjiang, they said it in the past, but now people here dare to refuse the Governor's invitation. What does this mean, no face at all!

Zhao Tingting quickly explained: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Joante. Our boss has entered a critical period in the research and development of products in the laboratory, and has already explained that no one can disturb him."

"In addition, in order to show support for the charity, the boss will donate 10 million Hong Kong dollars to the sponsor of this charity dinner."

Although he wasn't happy, he really didn't dare to be too presumptuous to Bao Zixuan because of his status.

Joante: "We all know that Bao Sheng is busy, but this is something the Governor explained. And he is a guest invited by His Excellency the Governor personally, so I can't explain it when I go back."

Zhao Tingting: "Mr. Qiao Ante, please explain one or two things in front of the Governor. Heiyun Group will send representatives to participate. In addition, if the Governor's Office has any requirements, we will do our best to cooperate."

When Joante left, he took a cheque of 12 million Hong Kong dollars, which made Zhao Tingting very angry. But it's not easy to say anything, after all, the boss of his own can only suffer some economic losses if he doesn't give face so much.

It can be said that Bao Zixuan still trusts Zhao Tingting very much. In Hong Kong, he can sign and pay as long as the amount does not exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars. However, every month, the accountants of PricewaterhouseCoopers will carefully check each project and then form a report. Bao Zixuan is relieved that there are really no major problems in each company.

All operating and procurement costs are within a reasonable range. After all, the benefits of Heiyun Group are among the top in the world. If you leave because of corruption, it is really worth the loss, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to find such a good job in the future.

After Joante went back, he explained it to the Governor, which made MacLehose a little uncomfortable. However, he also knew that his term of office was about to end, so it was absolutely unnecessary to offend Bao Zixuan at this time. And people also donated money, and with the help of the assistant, when Joante left the office, he didn't have such a big opinion on Bao Zixuan.

On the evening of the 25th, the festive atmosphere of the Governor's Mansion in Hong Kong was very strong. This may be MacLehose's last Christmas in Hong Kong, and the last time he will host a charity dinner in his capacity as Governor. Therefore, almost all the tycoon-level figures in Hong Kong came to the Governor's Palace. First, to celebrate the festival together, but also to see off.

MacLehose can be said to be the most effective one of the previous governors of Hong Kong, and he can be regarded as the one who has really contributed to the development of Hong Kong! His departure marked the end of an era, and tycoons were concerned about where Hong Kong would go after MacLehose left.

MacLehose also wanted to use his influence to make a final effort to persuade some tycoon-level figures not to agree to the return of Hong Kong. Even if the return is inevitable, I hope they can relocate to the British mainland. If all the big companies are evacuated from Xiangjiang, then what is there in Xiangjiang. At that time, the return will be a joke, and it will also let Huaxia know that the British Empire can still control the economic development of Xiangjiang.

At this time, the Xiangjiang merchants in the Governor's Mansion can be said to be very different. When the Governor is not there, people in a small circle are basically chatting.

Fok Yingdong didn't want to attend the banquet at the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, but gave him an invitation. I can't justify it if I don't come, after all, everyone has to pass by in terms of face.

Seeing Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang, Zheng Yu and others chatting together, he walked over.

Seeing Huo Yingdong coming over, Zheng Yutong said with a smile: "I heard that Huo Sheng went to the north recently, and he stayed there for a long time. He should have gained a lot this time!"

Huo Yingdong went to the mainland for nearly a month this time, and visited more than a dozen provinces. A preliminary understanding of the resource advantages and investment environment of these provinces is a signal that the mainland's reform and opening up is intensifying. After Mr. Huo understands the situation, he can introduce it to other Xiangjiang businessmen. It can be said that in the early days of reform and opening up, Huo Yingdong used his influence to promote Xiangjiang businessmen to invest in the mainland.

Huo Yingdong: "I saw a lot of magnificent scenery this time, and many places in the mainland are still worth investing in. Didn't Zheng Sheng always want to invest in a jewelry processing factory in the mainland! The places I saw this time were more suitable. Opportunity to visit on the spot.”

At this time, Li Chaoren came over and said, "Huo Sheng, don't favor one over the other, I'm also going to the mainland to see, don't forget me if there are any good projects."

Huo Yingdong: "These are easy to say. As long as Li Sheng wants to go, he can go anytime. By the way, why don't you see Xiao Baosheng today? Dong Sheng, do you understand the situation?"

Dong Haoyun: "The last time you treated him, he didn't have any pavement, and he didn't show up for Bao Sheng's birthday. I thought I should be able to see him at the banquet at the Governor's Mansion, but he still didn't show up."

"When Bao Sheng was celebrating his birthday, he called me, and he wanted me to explain it to everyone on his behalf. I haven't been free for a while, and I'm going to make amends after the project is over."

Hearing the talk about Bao Zixuan, Bao Yugang also became interested. After all, his old man often asks about Bao Zixuan's situation, but he doesn't communicate much with others, so it is impossible to know the specific situation.

Dong Haoyun and Huo Yingdong are the people who communicated more with Bao Zixuan in Xiangjiang. They should know some things. It's good to listen to it, at least I can say a few words to the old man when I go back.

Bao Yugang: "You said that Xiao Baosheng is a big project this time. I heard that it has been closed in Tianshuiwei Heiyun factory for nearly 3 months. And we have also mobilized a lot of engineers. Although we are not in the technology industry, we know that With such a big move, the product developed is definitely not simple."

Dong Haoyun: "I'm not very clear about the specifics. Except for Xiaobao, no one in Xiangjiang is engaged in the field of technology. I can't guess what he is going to do, but this kid can surprise everyone every time. This time I have some expectations. . After all, this is the first product he came back to Hong Kong to develop, it would be strange if not shocking."

Hearing everyone talking about Bao Zixuan made Zheng Yutong feel uncomfortable. After seeing Sha Dantong's expression, Huo Yingdong said with a smile, "Zheng Sheng, why haven't you seen your daughter recently."

People at this level of Huo Yingdong will not ask their daughter what does this mean. Zheng Yu didn't understand very much at the same time, but he quickly replied: "I went on vacation to Europe a week ago, and I won't be able to come back until New Year's Day."

Huo Yingdong: "I still think your daughter and Xiaobao are more suitable for these girls. You can really think about it."

In fact, Fok Yingdong should not say these words, but it is related to the unity between Chinese businessmen. Also, in case Bao Zixuan married a British or American woman, there would be a lot of choices. It is very likely that he really went abroad because of a dissatisfaction, which would be a huge loss to Xiangjiang, and even the whole of China could not bear such a huge loss.

This trip to the mainland made him feel that the development of science and technology is really too backward, and the west's technological blockade against China has never stopped. At this time, the Black Cloud Group, which plays a pivotal role in the world of science and technology, is particularly important. After all, this is a Chinese company, and Bao Zixuan is a patriotic businessman.

Just building a steel plant will make Huaxia's special steel products domestically produced. If there are more such projects, it will be self-evident that it will promote the development of science and technology in the entire country. Therefore, he does not want Bao Zixuan to leave Xiangjiang, even if there is a slight trace of it. There are no hazards.

Zheng Yutong has always belonged to the wall-riding faction, and has not clearly expressed his willingness to return. It may have a lot to do with the industry, after all, raw materials are too dependent on British power. My heart may be toward the Chinese mainland, but there are great hidden dangers here. If Bao Zixuan can marry Zheng Jiajia, the chances of the two leaving Xiangjiang together are very slim.
