v2 Chapter 979： add new department

Bao Zixuan did not know that his actions caused a strong reaction in the UK. The identity and status at this moment, to be able to visit MacLehose, a man who is idle at home, is enough to show that Bao Zixuan is a friend. This is basically impossible to achieve in the UK for two political and business terms.

There are so many British political and business celebrities for two years, but they did not go to see them. Bao Zixuan came with a project, and there were countless people who invited him. But after the Bentley acquisition, the first stop went to Luton. It is said that MacLehose recommended his hometown to Hong Kong merchants when he was the governor of Hong Kong.

But with so many people, why only Bao Zixuan remembered the words. It seems that this kid is a man of temperament, and can be regarded as a true friend to associate with.

MacLehose, the resigned Governor of Hong Kong, was once again reported by the British media. Violently brushed a wave of existence, the media who had previously had opinions on his long-term ruling in Hong Kong had to admire his political wisdom at this time.

People don't just think about developing Hong Kong and forget that they are British. But in the next big game, I believe that as Bao Zixuan comes to invest, the power will gradually appear.

Even the Queen is asking about MacLehose's situation. After all, she was also under a lot of pressure when she served as the Governor of Hong Kong for more than ten years.

Now it seems that how wise the decision was made at the time, MacLehose really lived up to expectations. Well done, Bao Zixuan came to the UK to invest, which is a good proof.

The Queen of England said to the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: The empire wants to continue to rule Hong Kong, is there no hope at all!

At this time, I still don't give up. The economic development and wealth status of Xiangjiang are really reluctant to let go.

Because of the Heiyun Group, Hong Kong's economic growth rate has always been at the forefront of the world. And the advantages are very obvious. According to such a speed, it is estimated that in a few years, it may surpass the British mainland. This result is really terrible. You must know that there are only a few million people in Xiangjiang, and the land area is small.

Britain is also an old-fashioned capitalist power after all. Although it will never lose the glory of the empire, the camel is bigger than the horse, how can it be surpassed by a small Xiangjiang. Although it is unimaginable, but because of the existence of Bao Zixuan, this idea is slowly becoming a reality.

Mrs. Thatcher didn't know how to answer, so she could only change the topic and say: "There are many places in the empire that have not yet been developed. I believe it can make up for the loss caused by the loss of colonies."

The United Kingdom belongs to a maritime civilization, and its own resources are relatively scarce. Now the Prime Minister actually said, develop the empire's homeland well. Of course, the Queen understands what it means. The colonial era will be gone forever, and the future can only rely on the mainland. But for this, the Japanese have provided a very good teaching material. It is necessary to know that the area of ​​Japan is similar to that of the United Kingdom. And its foundation is not as good as that of the United Kingdom. Isn't it still the second largest economy in the world!

Of course, the Queen knows what the Prime Minister means. Since she wants to divert the topic, she can communicate from other places. So he went on to say: "McLehose is not very old now, and he can continue to serve the empire."

The Prime Minister is the real manager of the country, and others can at best have their say. At this time, although it is not in line with the rules, no one will care about it.

In fact, Margaret Thatcher has considered this issue, and the MacLehose couple have a great influence in Hong Kong. There are other ways to serve the Empire even after retiring as Governor.

And before coming here, there has been a meeting to discuss. A temporary position was added, which was tailor-made for MacLehose.

Mrs Thatcher said with a smile: "I have considered this issue before and decided to appoint Sir MacLehose as Director of the Hong Kong Office."

The Hong Kong Affairs Office is a new department, mainly dealing with a series of issues such as businessmen and people from Hong Kong coming to the UK to invest, immigrate, and study. The businessmen of Xiangjiang are very rich, and Bao Zixuan is a good proof.

When I came to the UK to invest, I had some concerns before. Now that the Black Cloud Group has come over, I believe they will make a choice. In the future, many Hong Kong businessmen will definitely come to the UK to invest locally. As long as the opportunity is seized, it will definitely bring the imperial economy to a higher level.

Hearing this, the queen was very excited. As long as most businessmen are drawn over, Xiangjiang is an empty shell. Not to mention rapid development, it is good to be able to maintain the status quo.

However, there is also a troublesome problem. The Heiyun Group is too large in Xiangjiang. We must increase our efforts to win over Bao Zixuan. As long as this kid is still engaged in construction and investment in Xiangjiang, others will not give up completely.

This is a long and arduous task that can only be left to MacLehose to coordinate. In dealing with the merchants of Hong Kong, there is no one better than him in all of Great Britain.

After leaving Buckingham Palace, Thatcher returned to the office to see MacLehose waiting for her. I had called the secretary to inform MacLehose to come to the Prime Minister's Office, but I didn't expect to be called by the Queen temporarily.

Although it was a bit rude to make people wait, no one dared to care about and rob people with the Queen. And what to say, Thatcher is also the Prime Minister of the Empire, and MacLehose can't ask too much, mainly because he doesn't dare.

For the Prime Minister's invitation, although I don't know what to do. But I can also guess that it must be related to Bao Zixuan and Xiangjiang. This kid is really going to find trouble for himself, but this time it's definitely a good thing.

After all, he has been a governor for ten years, and he still feels very young. I really want to continue to serve the empire, but I have no way to serve the country before. Now that you have the opportunity, you must cherish it.

Mrs Thatcher said to MacLehose, "Hello, Lord MacLehose! Long time no see, how are you doing recently!"

If you care so much about yourself, you must have something to ask for.

MacLehose was not hypocritical, and returned directly: "I am in good health. It is not very realistic to go to the battlefield to expand the territory for the Queen; but there is still no problem in serving the empire in other fields."

This is to show the attitude, and the meaning is obvious, you can continue to be in politics. At least there is no problem with the body, still young.

Of course Mrs Thatcher understood what MacLehose meant. To be honest, when the body could still move and the mind could continue to operate, no one would want to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. A person who once mastered all his strength, suddenly has nothing to do, and the gap in his heart is very large.

Thatcher: "It's good that Lord MacLehose has this idea, at least it shows that you are thinking about the Empire."

"There's a job I want you to take over, and you're the only one right now."

Hearing that a job was given to him, and it was none other than that, gave MacLehose a sense of accomplishment. At least show that he is a qualified Englishman and can still serve the country in his later years.

MacLehose said with a serious expression and a firm attitude: "As long as the country needs it, it is under the obligation."

This attitude made Iron Maiden very satisfied. It seems that there is no shortage of loyal and brave people in the empire, but it has not been dug well before.

Thatcher: "It's not that serious, this job is a familiar one for you."

"The empire is going to set up a Hong Kong affairs office, which is mainly responsible for contacting Hong Kong businessmen to come to the UK for local investment, immigration, and study abroad."

"You have been the governor of Xiangjiang for ten years, and you have dealt with Huaxia many times. The attitude of the opposite side is also clear. The probability that the empire wants to continue to rule Xiangjiang must be clearer than anyone else."

"The rapid economic development of Xiangjiang is inseparable from the policies you formulated in those years. I am very familiar with the businessmen of Xiangjiang, and I hope you can make good use of this relationship. As far as I know, people in Xiangjiang still attach great importance to feelings, which has a lot to do with the empire. different."

Of course MacLehose understands what it means is to draw businessmen from Hong Kong to invest. It is best to immigrate to the United Kingdom. These super-rich have left, and it is not known that the Hong Kong economy will decline.

This move is very cruel, but MacLehose is very happy. At least it shows that the Empire attaches great importance to Xiangjiang talents. These people do have their own uniqueness in doing business, and he has a deep understanding of this.

Although the identity has changed, MacLehose has no complaints about it. In the past, there were many expatriate governors in the empire, but why was he only assigned such a position, isn't it enough to explain the problem!

The Hong Kong Office was established in the United Kingdom, and MacLehose became the first director. The whole world knows what the British want to do, and it seems that Xiangjiang has a good show to watch.

Bao Zixuan did not expect that he came to visit MacLehose just to make a pretence. Unexpectedly, a new department was born directly, and MacLehose was actually activated again, and this kind of influence was lost.

But I have no intention to pay attention to those now. The Luton Engine R&D and Manufacturing Center is the problem that needs to be determined and solved the most.
