Chapter 594 Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.

"What do you mean by flattery? You are the director, I am the deputy director, and I am your soldier. It is you who should take care of me." Lei Weidong shook his head, with a very humble expression on his face.

"Sir Lei's words are obvious. Who doesn't know that the police force is your private territory? As the director, I have to look at your face, otherwise I won't be able to secure my position."

After chatting for a while, Mrs. M gave Lei Weidong a hat.

"Director, you really know how to joke. The police force is public, how could it be mine? I am also a wage earner." Lei Weidong shook his head and kicked back the high hat that Mrs. M handed him.

"Sir Lei, you are the richest man in the world, how can you be a wage earner? If you are a wage earner, who are we, garbage pickers?"

Mrs. M chuckled.

"Director, you are joking. So what if the world's richest man is not working for the country." Lei Weidong shrugged and calmly avoided the trap in Mrs. M's words.

"There are a lot of people here, are you interested in chatting alone?" Mrs. M made an inviting gesture.

"Of course I'm interested!" Lei Weidong nodded and said with a smile, "I have long wanted to talk to the director about Bond, and now only you can know his whereabouts."

"Bond was my ace, but that was before, and I don't know where he is now." Mrs. M shook her head, "Sir Lei, you are the richest man in the world with tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, how can you still

Interested in small money."

"A few hundred million dollars is not small money!" Lei Weidong shook his head.

"Yes, except for the richest man like you, even billionaires can't resist the temptation of hundreds of millions of dollars." Mrs. M nodded and went to the small conference room next door with Lei Weidong.

"What should you drink, coffee or tea?" Entering the conference room, Mrs. M asked her assistant, Qian Banni, to pour tea.

"No, you turned out to be guests, I should be the one to entertain you." Lei Weidong waved his hand, and Jian Huizhen, who followed behind, skillfully poured two cups of tea from the next door.

"Director, this is the Dahongpao that Brother Dong brought from the mainland. It is the best tea picked from the mother tree." After delivering the tea to Mrs. M, Jian Huizhen introduced it to her in a gentle breeze.

"The best Dahongpao is picked from the mother tree. Sir Lei, your relationship with the mainland is really extraordinary." The aroma of the best Dahongpao is really amazing. I haven't drank it yet, but just asking about the smell makes me feel refreshed.

It feels great, and I feel much more relaxed.

Even Mrs. M, who likes to drink coffee, has to say, "Good tea!"

"It means I invested too much in the Mainland, and my boss felt sorry for it. He gave it to me because he knew I like drinking tea." Lei Weidong waved his hand, saying that his relationship with the Mainland was average and not worth mentioning.

"Sir Lei, I heard that you have invested at least several billion dollars in the mainland. Are you optimistic about the mainland market and not worried?" Mrs. M asked Qian Banni and Jian Huizhen to go out together, leaving only herself and Lei Weidong in the conference room.

Finally, get straight to the point and get to the point.

"The mainland has a population of over one billion. It is the last large untapped market in the world. I am not the only one who is jealous. As for being worried, I want wealth insurance!"

Lei Weidong shrugged and said with a smile, "Before the southern tour, especially in 1989, I was really worried that my property would be confiscated.

but now!

There are not just one or two rich people who go to the mainland to invest, just like Li Chaoren, he is very generous in BJ. It is said that in order to build a building, he even demolished the ministries and commissions compound."

"Indeed! The mainland is a big market. You can make a lot of money by eating just a little bit, but!" Mrs. M nodded first, then changed her tone and said seductively:

"Sir Lei, you grew up in Xiangjiang, and the education you received made you incompatible with the mainland. The most you can do to go to the mainland is to make some money. In that case, why don't you cooperate with us.

We are leaving soon. As for how to cooperate, Xiangjiang is up to you."

"What's the point of talking in Xiangjiang? You can't raise dragons in the pond." Lei Weidong shook his head and rejected Mrs. M's kindness, "If it's a businessman like Li Chaoren, forget it.

For businessmen, as long as they can make money, let alone selling their ancestors, they can even sell the rope to hang themselves.

But I am different!

For a person who has worked in the government for twenty years, he not only wants money, but also power."

"You have the same rights as you by cooperating with us. I can apply to the Queen to grant you the title of knight." Mrs. M said.

"What's the use of an empty knight? Can the queen make me a duke?" Lei Weidong shrugged, scorning the benefits promised by Mrs. M.

"Not to mention a duke, even a hereditary earl is probably impossible."

"this!"

Lei Weidong's words made Mrs. M a little embarrassed.

There are currently 28 dukes in Eagle Kingdom, 24 of whom are royals, and only 4 non-royal dukes, but they are all relatives of the queen, such as the Duke of York, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent, etc.

Some of these dukes lived very wealthy lives, such as the Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Norfolk, etc.

However, there are also some families whose fortunes have fallen into decline and are entangled in lawsuits, such as the Duke of Manchester, the Duke of Leinster, etc.

Because now the Duke is just an honorary title and does not have the same power as the mainland prince in the past.

Even if there is only honor left, the Eagle Kingdom rarely grants it to public figures other than the royal family. Even if a royal figure, such as a prince, wants to get it, he must get it when he gets married.

He can only be an earl and not a duke.

As for members outside the royal family, the last one was former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. He was awarded an earl in 1984 and was called the 1st Earl of Stockton. However, he died of illness in 1986 at the age of 92.

After that, the Eagle Kingdom revised its laws so that people outside the royal family could at most receive the honorary title of knight, and hereditary titles such as earl were unnecessary.

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This sentence applies not only to the East, but also to the West, not to mention that our skin colors are different. Even if I sincerely surrender to the Queen and become a dog, I will not gain much power.

At most, it is the position of the Governor of Hong Kong."

Lei Weidong continued, "But this position is within reach for me. After I return, if I run for office, who will be my opponent in Xiangjiang?"

"After that, Sir Lei, you won't be able to reach a high position in the mainland." Mrs. M smiled, "What's the difference between you and joining us?"

"There is indeed no difference in my generation, but what about my son in the next generation." Lei Weidong shrugged, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said with a smile:

"The Rong family, Mrs. M should know that their family is my role model."

"Rong family, Sir Lei, you are so ambitious." After hearing Lei Weidong use the Rong family as an example, Mrs. M understood that Lei Weidong would never cooperate with her.

Because no matter how much the ghost guy gives, it can't compare to the status and honor that the Rong family has.

More importantly, if Lei Weidong clings to Mainland's thigh and keeps going, he may reach the position of the Rong family in a few decades.

The relationship between Lei Weidong and the daughter of the Hua family is no secret!

If a child born from the union of two major families has the ability and embarks on a political path, it is impossible to reach the top, but there is real hope of becoming one of the core.

"So, Sir Lei, you are determined to go against us." Mrs. M asked.

"I have no intention of going against you. I just want to safeguard my interests, the interests of Hong Kong, and the interests of the nation." Lei Weidong shook his head, "We can still be friends."

"Friend, maybe in the future, but now." Mrs. M shook her head.

A wise man does not speak secretly!

Gui Lao's interests in Xiangjiang are too great. HSBC alone doesn't know how much profit it makes for Gui Lao every year.

It can be said that Xiangjiang is the money bag of ghosts in Asia.

What's more important is that you can make money while lying down.

Unlike in Europe and the United States, if you want to make money, you need to face competition from all aspects.

And in Xiangjiang!

The ghost guy is the biggest.

If business is not your opponent, you can be a political black hand and defeat your competitors easily.

Since you can make money by lying down, you don't want to stand up, let alone compete with others.

People like Li Chaoren are okay.

White Gloves belongs to Gui Lao, and most of its company shareholders are Gui Lao or powerful figures from the ancestral family.

Not so with Lei Weidong.

The company under his name only has a part of the shares in the mainland, and most of them are controlled by him. The ghost is very greedy, but there is no way.

Fortunately in the past, Lei Weidong mainly showed his power in the industrial field and had little impact on Guilao's core industry.

But following the HSBC robbery, Lei Weidong, who took down Hang Seng Bank, began to show his power in the financial industry.

Relying on its title of the world's richest man, Hang Seng Bank has replaced HSBC as the largest bank in Hong Kong. That is to say, because it does not have the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, Hang Seng Bank's status in Hong Kong is not as good as HSBC.

But HSBC is not the only bank in Hong Kong with the right to issue Hong Kong dollars.

Standard Chartered Bank also has this power.

In 1987, Lei Weidong took advantage of the economic crisis to acquire 30% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank, becoming the largest individual shareholder. After the HSBC robbery, he even took advantage of the shock in the banking system to sell his shares in Standard Chartered Bank.

The shares were raised to 45%.

Now!

According to the news received by Mrs. M, Lei Weidong has launched a takeover war for the remaining shares of Standard Chartered Bank.

The unspoken rule here in Xiangjiang is that as long as the major shareholder controls 51% of the company's shares, he has complete control over the company.

When Standard Chartered Bank and Hang Seng Bank cooperate, HSBC's status will definitely not be guaranteed, and what's even more frightening is that it will be unable to resist.

Because HSBC suffered heavy losses in the treasury robbery, it barely survived by abandoning a large number of assets and with the support of the Hong Kong Eagle Government.
