Chapter 172 Baron Kate
"Haha! Baron Kate is a wise and enlightened governor!
I believe Baron Kate will surely make the citizens of Xiangjiang remember your achievements.”
"Thank you, I also hope to serve the citizens of Xiangjiang in the last ten years and finally hand over the prosperous Xiangjiang to the Chinese government intact." Baron Kate was ecstatic and the matter that troubled him was about to be solved perfectly.
"But, as a Chinese, Xiangjiang, its currency exercise is controlled by British banks, which has to be said to be a very embarrassing thing..."
"This..." Baron Kate knew that this was the condition proposed by Zhang Lang.
If you want to enter the Governor's Office, you must first hand over the exercise of the Hong Kong dollar.
Standard Chartered Bank is larger in the UK than HSBC, and Zhang Lang is really a bit difficult to deal with.
The negotiations have been going on for more than a month, but there has been no progress.
The shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank, the proud British, would rather give up the banking business of Hong Kong than give up the exercise of Hong Kong dollars.
He even refused to agree to Zhang Lang's acquisition case.
Although Zhang Lang acquired some stocks from the market, those stocks were too few for Standard Chartered Bank, and even less than five percent of them were unable to acquire them in the stock market.
"this……"
"this……"
Baron Kate spent a long time and couldn't speak.
As a capitalist country, the UK has no good way to deal with domestic enterprises.
To put it bluntly, these politicians are representatives of capitalists.
Standard Chartered Bank ignored him, and he had no choice.
After all, he is just the Governor of Xiangjiang, not the British minister.
"Baron Kate, the Kate family is a veteran British aristocrat. I believe that Baron Kate will definitely help me convince the arrogant and stubborn directors of Standard Chartered Bank!
To acquire or hand over the Hong Kong dollar exercise, choose one of two items. You know, I am not short of money!
Tell them that they can take the opportunity to kill me hard!" Zhang Lang laughed softly.
"Mr. Zhang, this matter is really not something I can control. I can only say that I can use the family power to lobby the directors of Standard Chartered Bank as much as possible, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed!"
"k! Baron Kate's candor won my friendship!
Then I wish the cocktail party tomorrow night will be successful!
We Chinese are a hospitality nation. This is a jade pendant. Jade has a unique status in China and it symbolizes blessings. Now I give it to Baron Kate as a witness to our friendship. I wish Baron Kate a safe life!" Zhang Lang smiled and handed Baron Kate a beautiful jade pendant carved with mutton fat white jade.
He also knew that Baron Kate alone could not complete the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank.
But at least it was a helping hand, so I didn't plan to continue to make things difficult for Baron Kate.
This is a tactful British nobleman, much cute than those arrogant and stubborn British guys, and Zhang Lang doesn't want to continue to change the Governor.
That would make his relationship with the British government even more tense.
Speaking of which, when the British government agreed to acquire HSBC, it should have removed the Feng Shui Bureau.
"Thank you! Thank you Mr. Zhang for your blessing!" Baron Kate grabbed the jade pendant tightly and thanked repeatedly.
What he valued was not the value of the jade pendant, but Zhang Lang's words of peace for life.
In the mysterious ancient Eastern Kingdom, his ancestors suffered losses in the East and left behind family mottos, and they must not provoke Eastern "wizards".
That's why he was so careful. In his opinion, Zhang Lang is like an existence like an Eastern "wizard".
Zhang Lang guessed that Baron Kate didn't care about the jade pendant he gave, so he kindly reminded: "There is a Chinese saying that people raise jade for three years, and jade for a lifetime.
The jade pendant must be worn with you to bless your safety.”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang! I must wear it with you, and I won't take it off even if I sleep!" Baron Kate saw a red rope on the jade pendant and took it directly to his neck.
At the end of Marseille, Zhang Lang bid farewell to Baron Kate and got into the car and returned to his manor.
Seeing Zhang Lang away, Kate waved his fist excitedly.
"Let's go back and pack up your things, and move into the Governor's Mansion today!" Baron Kate ordered to his assistant.
"Mr. Kate, Feng Shui matter..."
"Haha...ha! It's solved! We'll move back to the Governor's Mansion and arrange invitations. I'll hold a cocktail party at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow night!" At this moment, Baron Kate felt a little energetic.
I reached out and touched the jade pendant on my chest. There was a jade pendant on my chest. I had the courage in the world!
When Zhang Lang returned home, there was already someone waiting for him at home.
"Laohuo has been waiting for a long time! It's rude! It's rude!" Zhang Lang clasped his fists at Mr. Huo.
"Haha, it was my old man who came uninvited! Today I am here to thank Zhang Sheng!" Mr. Huo's face was full of redness and clasped his fists at Zhang Lang and thanked him.
"Haha! This is what the Huo family deserves! Compared with other families in Xiangjiang, the Huo family is responsible for the construction of the highway, which is what I hope in China!" Zhang Lang clasped his fists and returned the favor.
This time, the Huo family's efforts over the years have been rewarded.
The Huo family bit off a large piece of the cake worth 100 billion US dollars.
One-tenth of the project is enough to make the Huo family eat fat and have completely entered the ranks of the top ten richest people in terms of wealth.
In the 1950s, the Huo family helped the country transport war materials; in the 1970s, the country helped the country re-entered the Olympic stadium; in the 1980s, the country helped the country obtain the right to host the 90s Asian Games and donated to build the Asian Games village; these contributions have not been forgotten by the country.
Therefore, when Mr. Huo proposed to undertake the construction of highways, the Huo family's industry also had the qualifications to undertake the construction of highways.
Deng Gonglima said that under the same conditions, the Huo family can obtain priority.
The two of them made some polite tricks before sitting down again.
"Zhang Sheng, this time I came to express my gratitude to Zhang Sheng, and the other was to ask Zhang Sheng what he thought about football." The Filipino maid made tea for the two again, and Mr. Huo tasted it before asking.
Mr. Huo loves football very much. He is the eternal honorary president of the Xiangjiang Football Association and the president of the Dongsheng Football Team. He is also keen on participating in various sports affairs.
"Football? What does Mr. Huo mean?" Zhang Lang asked with a smile.
"Yes! At Zhang Sheng's current status, money is no longer the most important thing. You should have some hobbies after work and participate in more public welfare activities.
For example, football, horse racing and other sports.”
"Thank you Mr. Huo for your advice. I have this idea. I am still young. Just as Mr. Huo said, money can no longer be the whole of my life!
In the next days, I plan to focus on promoting religious beliefs of blessings and righteousness, as well as various public welfare and sports undertakings." Zhang Lang smiled and said.
There is an old Chinese saying that a big tree attracts wind. Zhang Lang’s tree now no longer attracts wind, but thunder and lightning.
