Chapter 437： The Governor's House Christmas Dinner III

Governor MacLehose and Zheng Yutong were chatting with Fok Yingdong all the time. At this time, he saw where the shark gall was stunned. Is it because the governor caught the handle, or said the words into his heart. Either way, it's a red flag.

Chow Tai Fook has important influence in the world, and Zheng Yutong is not only good at jewelry business. It has also made great achievements in the real estate industry. New World can become the five tigers of Heungkong Real Estate, which has already explained the problem.

It's not very convenient to be here today. It seems that in a few days, I'll invite everyone out to find a place to gather. Otherwise, if MacLehose really puts down his identity, some people may not be able to resist.

MacLehose believes that the chat with Zheng Yutong has achieved certain results, and this is a good start. Now he has turned his target to Li Chaoren, thinking that this is also a target that can be won.

Seeing the Governor coming, Li Chaoren didn't dare to take off. He smiled and said, "Hello Governor, it's a pleasure to meet you."

MacLehose: "Hello, Mr. Li. I've been looking for you for a while, but I didn't expect you to be in the corner. This is not in line with your identity and status, and sometimes you can't be too low-key."

"Although there is an old saying among you Chinese, it is called making a fortune in silence, that is because of the special circumstances of China. There is absolutely no need to do this in the British Empire; the sanctity of private property is a law that everyone must abide by, I think You should understand that."

What a smart man Li Chaoren is, he knew that this was not an easy matter when MacLehose came to him and took the initiative to find him. Now I hear the outgoing governor say that private property is sacred and inviolable. This is not a reflection of the Chinese mainland in disguise.

However, Li Chaoren is someone who often goes to the mainland, and he still knows a thing or two about China's current policies. It is self-evident that the purpose of the British who came to him is to make himself the first bird. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing, otherwise he wouldn't be Li Chaoren.

Li Chaoren said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the reminder of Your Excellency the Governor, but my assets are not ranked in Hong Kong. I still think about myself after looking at other people's decisions, but a country needs to rely on credibility if it wants to develop, or else How can it be recognized by the international community, do you think so!"

Li Chaoren's answer left MacLehose not knowing how to answer the question, and he basically blocked what he was about to say. Looking at Li Chaoren, MacLehose suddenly felt that he had really underestimated this person all these years. This emotional intelligence alone is not comparable to ordinary people, and the most important thing is that he does not offend anyone. I haven't heard that Li Chaoren has blushed with anyone in recent years. It seems that he is the one who hides it.

Compared with Fok Yingdong, Li Chaoren is not so close to the mainland; but he is not alienated at all compared to others, and maintains a good relationship with British companies such as HSBC. But if you want to say who Li Chao has a particularly good relationship with, it really doesn't exist. This is the character trait that a successful businessman should have, and everything is just for the purpose. If there are too many emotional factors mixed in, it is likely to affect your judgment.

MacLehose: Mr. Li, don't rush to a conclusion, many things cannot be changed in a short time. In your Chinese language, it is freezing three times in a day. Is it because of a region or a few people to change the system? It can't happen anywhere in the world, and that would cause resentment in other parts of the world.

In fact, Lai Superman has been thinking about these issues recently, but he was relieved very quickly. In Xiangjiang, if there are various uncertainties and problems in the return, there is still a big top.

Li Chaoren: "I still see what other people think, and then decide my own way out. Besides, it's still too early to talk about this. After all, there is still a long time before the return, and everything is still unknown."

MacLehose is still a little unwilling to give up: "It's better to prepare in advance for anything, otherwise it will be very passive."

Hearing this, Li Chaoren knew that the upper management of the capital must have given the governor a strong signal to take back Xiangjiang. Even if it is an act of war, Huaxia must take back Xiangjiang, otherwise it is impossible for him to actively win over Chinese businessmen. The Governor-General would not have cared so much about them before. Now it seems that some things need to be changed. Otherwise, let alone compared with Huo Yingdong, other people may have a higher status in the hearts of the capital's senior management than him.

No wonder Bao Zixuan dared to invest so much in Huaxia. This is his confidence. It may be a little more painful now. Once Xiangjiang returns, it will be an early team, which is much better than cramming.

Not to mention that Li Chaoren has really increased his investment in mainland China since then, but he can only say that his life is good, and he will still make money no matter what the situation is.

Knowing that he couldn't break through with Li Chaoren, MacLehose moved to the next goal. At this time, he was very emotional, when did the governor act so useless, and he actually asked him to take the initiative to talk to these Xiangjianghua. This was impossible before, and even more unimaginable.

Guo Desheng is a relatively low-key existence among the Five Tigers of Xiangjiang Real Estate. He is not an academic like Hu Yingxiang, but he designs and builds iconic buildings by himself. Unlike Lee Shau Kee, who specializes in recycling old buildings and advertising all over the world. It is not like Li Chaoren is good at marketing and publicity, nor is he richer than Zheng Yutong.

It can be said that Guo Desheng has the weakest ability among the five real estate tigers in one aspect, but at the same time he is also the most balanced existence. I entered the real estate field only after cooperating with Lee Shau Kee in the early days. At this time, I have completely gone it alone, and I have been able to make the business run smoothly. This is the embodiment of my ability. Anyone can operate as usual without the company.

After MacLehose saw Guo Desheng's information, he couldn't imagine how he had made such a big business. This person has no distinctive characteristics, and does not look like a super-rich from his usual performance.

Guo Desheng didn't expect the Governor to come to him. Before, he saw MacLehose chatting with Zheng Yutong and Li Chaoren. Now come to find yourself, do you have any ideas and purposes, or are you ready to defeat them all.

Guo Desheng: "Hello, Governor MacLehose."

MacLehose: "Hello! Mr. Guo, it's not easy to meet you."

Guo Desheng has always been known as an honest businessman in Xiangjiang, and usually has no other hobbies besides work. Therefore, there is very little social interaction, and it basically does not come out. This time I was able to come to the Governor's Mansion because MacLehose was about to leave office.

Guo Desheng: "Your Excellency the Governor is joking. If you want to see me, you can call me at any time; you are guaranteed to be on call."

MacLehose: "It's a bit late for you I'm going to return to London next year. It's very far away from Hong Kong, but if you can settle down there, we can get together often. , maybe you can reach each other on call as you said."

MacLehose knew that time was running out, not only for his career as governor, but also for today's dinner, and he had to make a quick decision.

Huo Yingdong, Dong Haoyun, and Hu Yingxiang are pro-Chinese mainland factions, even if they were in the past, they wouldn't have any effect. In the next few days, I still have to find a few more people to have a good chat. Today's last goal is to put Guo Desheng!

Guo Desheng also didn't expect MacLehose to be so direct. Judging from the expressions of Shaqiantong and Li Chaoren, they should be more subtle when talking to them, how come he has completely changed, isn't this bullying honest people!

However, he, Guo Desheng, is not as temperamental as he seems on the surface. But it can't be bullied like this, even if the other party is the governor.

Guo Desheng: "My health is not very good. I heard that there is a lot of foggy weather in London, and I can't see the sun for a few days throughout the year. Xiangjiang is more suitable for me. I can go back to Xiangjiang after the Governor's retirement. Call anytime."

This is the first time MacLehose has heard such an obvious rejection today. It seems that the intelligence information is not very accurate. Guo Desheng is also a person with ideas, and he is by no means an honest businessman in people's mouths.

Fortunately, at this time, the host said that the auction was about to start, which happened to relieve our Lord Governor, otherwise the two of them would not know how to end it.
