An unused villa on Victoria Peak in Central, Hong Kong Island has a new owner.
"Francis, I have received an order. I will fully cooperate with you in this operation, and you will be the next Financial Secretary." William took the cup of black tea handed to him by the person opposite.
Christopher Francis Peng, who was sitting opposite, added a small spoonful of sugar to his black tea and said to William enthusiastically.
"Let us work together and leave New World Group to us to deal with. You are responsible for stabilizing the situation in other aspects of Hong Kong Island!"
"Okay, that's great! It just so happens that the Z Fund incident has given us an opportunity. We must seize this opportunity and change the current situation of being passively beaten!"
Francis looked at the excited William in front of him. While talking to him politely and elegantly, he roared in his heart: "The position of Hong Kong Governor was supposed to be compensation given to me by Sister Mei. You are just a despicable thief. !”
In 1992, Francis was the chairman of the Conservative Party of Cowland. Under his planning, the Conservative Party won a resounding victory in the general election, but he personally lost his parliamentary seat immediately.
In order to compensate for her old friend and capable general, Sister Mei, who was re-elected as the Prime Minister of Niu Kingdom, wanted Francis to be sent to Hong Kong Island to serve as the last governor of Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by another group.
William is not without roots in the Niu Country. In the past three years, his family's trade with Southeast Asia, Majia Group, Hu Group, and New World Group has made them a lot of money, and they have also attracted a group of people. Since then, Niu Guo has added a number of "entity factions" to Hong Kong's interest groups.
This entity faction means that they mainly make huge profits through related trade with some Chinese-owned enterprises in Southeast Asia as second-tier dealers. Correspondingly, they are the "rent-collecting faction" behind Sister Mei and Francis.
The main means of profit for the rent-collecting faction are their investment in real estate, hotels, ports and other real estate in Hong Kong, as well as some tertiary industries such as finance and property.
So the needs of the two parties are different.
The rent collectors don't care at all what Hong Kong Island will look like in the future. They are just like the old landlords in the past. The land is rented out. No matter whether your harvest is good or not this year, you must pay rent.
Moreover, at least 60% of the mainland's overseas exports must be transited through Hong Kong Island, a free port city, and transported to all parts of the world. Most products exported to China from all over the world also pass through Hong Kong Island, a transit station.
Just like the land rented out by landlords can have a good harvest every year, there is no need to worry about the harvest being bad. Those poor people who have no money to pay the rent do not worry about the impact on other aspects at all. No matter what happens to Hong Kong Island, No matter what, the renter will never miss them.
The pattern of ocean trade in Asia seems to be like this these days. Unfortunately, all players later, including the mainland themselves, did not expect that the development of the mainland was like a rip-off. The rapid rise of various coastal port cities made Hong Kong Island a free port transfer station. Its role has been greatly reduced, and in the end only the role of the financial game window between the mainland and Europe and the United States is left. . .
The Entity faction is different. Their main means of profit is to rely on Asia's cheap raw materials and high-quality and low-priced goods trade, and they know that all of this is achieved by William as the middle link. If William is missing, If this is an important link between the two parties, haha.
So when Sister Mui and the Queen wanted to push Francis to the position of "the last governor of Hong Kong", the Entity faction opposed it with all their strength, and the situation became a stalemate. However, more than three months later, Chen Yihu was blinded. Well, it only took less than a day for the British pound to hit the streets, which had a more serious impact on the political situation in the foggy city than Chen Yi's previous life.
First of all, the voice of a group of conservative officials led by Sister Mei has greatly declined, and accordingly the power of the opposition party has greatly increased.
Secondly, stimulated by this, the Sugelan separatist forces rose earlier than Chen Yi's previous life. In order to appease them, Sister Mei and the others could only delegate power to this dishonest place and announced the restoration of the Sugelan and Weishi local councils. .
This is the first time since 1707 that Sugelan has elected its own officials to manage local affairs.
Of course, Chen Yi also noticed this news. As for how to use it, anyway, he was thinking that it would be difficult for Su Gelan to successfully separate the family, because the only sea-based nuclear weapons base in the Niu Kingdom - Royal Colade The naval base and North Sea oil fields are located in Sugelan.
If Su Gelan succeeds in separating the family, haha.
But it’s okay to make a fuss.
These things are still too far away. Even the bully of the Niu Kingdom has not realized that someone is ready to "repay others with their own treatment". They only think that the impact of the attack on the pound is too great. A little older, so the matter of Francis' transfer to Hong Kong governor was dropped.
And now, after Gabriel's robbery of 40 billion was exposed, William immediately reported the situation of the Z Fund in Fog City, so Fog City immediately made a targeted plan, and Sister Mei took advantage of every opportunity. Francis was also sent to Hong Kong Island.
The fact that the promoter William secretly became a super member of Huanyu Securities is worthy of everyone’s ridicule. . .
"That's it, I'll go back and prepare first. Thank you for your hospitality."
After the two talked for a while, William resigned.
Two minutes later, Francis' eyes gradually darkened as he watched William's retreating figure. Another figure appeared in the room standing next to him. It was the former Financial Secretary - Claude.
He said to Francis with a deep look on his face: "Sir Francis, I have arranged all the people from the Financial Secretary. We will cooperate with you when you start taking action."
Francis nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, we will definitely do what we promised you. As long as this plan is successful, you will be transferred back to the mainland. By the way, the new Financial Secretary, you Do you have a suitable candidate in mind?”
Francis pondered for a moment and said: "There is no good candidate yet, but I prefer to choose a Chinese from the 'white list' given to us by William. This can make the mainland side relax their vigilance."
"Okay, that's it. If you find a suitable candidate, let me know."
"No problem. It's a pity for William. It seems that he is still loyal to the Queen. He has developed so many 'white lists', but who told him to harm everyone's interests? But what about the rest of the Financial Secretary? They also gave up. ?"
Francis just laughed sarcastically and said: "Haha, William, the great steward of Hong Kong Island, has done a really good job and is impeccable in all aspects, but who calls Niu Country a capitalist country? Some big shots If his business is affected, then he can only be wronged.
Moreover, isn’t it normal for a group of people to accompany a Hong Kong governor to his final funeral? "
The conversation between the two was very strange. Francis, who was supposed to be the next Financial Secretary, didn't seem to be the case at all, and William seemed to be regarded as an abandoned son by them.
After hearing this, Claude on the side first thought of the account his daughter opened in his name at Huanyu Securities. . .
He also thought that the promises Francis made to him were just empty promises, all of which could only be cashed out after the matter was over.
Are you trying to fool me into thinking I'm one of those Chinese bumpkins on the "white list"?
Thinking of this, Claude's eyes deepened even more, but his mouth spoke in an impassioned tone: "Everything is for the glory of the Queen!"
Francis was stunned for a moment after hearing these words, but he immediately responded in an impassioned tone: "Yes, everything is for the glory of the Queen."
The golden sunshine hitting the two of them had different meanings.
In the eyes of Francis, this means that Great Britain will make a comeback and once again let the glory of the Queen shroud this land.
In Claude's eyes, this is just the last afterglow of the empire on Hong Kong Island.
