Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 754 "753" Guan Zu: Even the Tax Lord has become a beast of burden, hehehe~~~
The team led by Soros in Hong Kong was named ————

Rodney Jones!
He has a strong background in finance and is exceptionally capable in macroeconomic analysis and financial market trading strategy development.

Before joining the Quantum Fund, he worked as an international observer at Goldman Sachs, closely monitoring the global economic situation and possessing keen insight into economic data, policy trends, and market trends in different countries and regions.

After joining Soros's Quantum Fund team, these abilities were put to full use.

And this time,
He put a lot of effort into predicting the Asian financial bubble.

of course,

This was his first time visiting Hong Kong Island.

Previously, his understanding of Hong Kong Island came from data collected by data collectors on the island, which was then sent back to the United States for analysis.

This time, he is going to officially open a company on Hong Kong Island and conduct on-site research.

……

……

Central Plaza, top floor.

11 points,
"Mr. Guan, it's been a long time~~~"

"Mr. Donald, it's been a long time since I've seen you!"

Guan Zu's office,
Guan Zu and Wan Shuiye shook hands warmly, as if they were old friends.

The two sat on the sofa, and Gangsheng brought over two glasses of... Coke. They drank and chatted.

"Mr. Donald, to be honest, when I first met you, I didn't think you were very reliable. But after getting to know you over this time, I think you are a very intelligent person, and I also want to invest in the United States. Perhaps we should become good friends, partners, and cooperate on a larger scale to make big money together..."

Guan Zu was bluffing... no, I mean, he was being completely honest with me.

Upon hearing this, the tax collector's eyes lit up, and he quickly seized the opportunity: "Really? Mr. Guan, to be honest, from the very first glance, I felt that Mr. Guan was a person worth befriending."

Guan Zu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Tax Master: "Of course it's true!"

Guan Zu laughed heartily: "Great! Great! Great! From today onwards, we're good friends, supporting each other and making big money in America together! How about it? You have resources, I have money, and together we'll be invincible!"

Tax Master Wan slammed his fist on the table: "Great! From today onwards, we're best friends! Let's make a fortune together!"

The two embraced and chatted happily.

"Come on, bottoms up with this Coke!"

"Dry!"

Drink it all in one gulp

Guan Zu: "Yes, I'm very sorry about making you drink last time. I only found out that you don't drink. I thought you were just making excuses."

"Feel sorry!"

"I'll punish myself with three drinks!"

Guan Zu downed three more cups of Coke.

Upon hearing this, the old grudge he had about drinking suddenly vanished, and he quickly said, "No, no, no, we weren't friends back then. Mr. Guan's actions were just normal business practice."

Guan Zu said apologetically, "Anyway, I'm still a little sorry!"

Then we got down to business.

Guan Zu said seriously, "Regarding the Manhattan land project submitted by Mr. Donald, we have completed the site inspection, and I believe the project is fine, and cooperation is absolutely possible. We are currently conducting a valuation. I know Mr. Donald urgently needs the money, so I will try my best to urge them to finalize it within two weeks..."

One week of urging turned into two weeks, aren't you touched?

When the tax collector saw that Guan Zu was really eager for this project, he immediately wanted to push his luck and ask for even more benefits.

So he started touting the advantages of this project again...

Blowing for half an hour,

Guan Zu glanced at his watch; it was already 11 o'clock. "It's almost lunchtime now. I wonder if Mr. Donald would find it convenient to have lunch together..."

Tax Master Wan readily agreed: "Of course it's convenient!"

Guan Zu: "Knowing that you're not used to Chinese food, we've chosen to eat Western food this time."

"But French food is too formal, let's go have some Spanish food."

"There's a Spanish restaurant downstairs that's been around for over 90 years on Hong Kong Island, called La Rambla, Catalonia..."

"I've heard it's good, we can go give it a try..."

Tax Master Wan: "Everything will be done as Mr. Guan arranges."

The two went downstairs.

Along the way, he met many people who greeted Guan Zu.

10 minutes later,
The two, along with Guan Zu's bodyguard Ding Hu, arrived in La Rambla, Catalonia.

Potted plants are placed on both sides of the entrance. After entering, you can see wrought iron chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and Spanish landscape paintings on the walls, from the bustling La Rambla to the ancient Segovia Castle, each painting is lifelike...

The restaurant has a great atmosphere!

"Mr. Guan..."

"Mr. Guan~~~"

After Guan Zu went inside, he was greeted by a group of waiters and diners.

Guan Zu smiled and responded to each one.

When the tax collector saw this scene, he thought of how Guan Zu had been greeting him all along the way, and how Guan Zu and the people of the Five Star Group had achieved very high voter turnout in several elections.

This prompted him to tentatively ask, "Mr. Guan, may I ask how you manage to be so popular?"

In fact, he already had an answer in his mind—Five-Star Property Management.

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Because of Five Star Property Management, we have always liked to do good deeds and help citizens, so it is easy to gain the favor of citizens, and they will naturally respect me."

The answer from the tax collector was confirmed, and his inner desire grew even stronger.

I want to be like that too!
The waiter immediately led the three to their seats and handed them menus.

Guan Zu asked the waiter, "What are your most famous dishes?"

The waiter explained, "We have top-quality Iberian ham, made from pigs fed 100% acorns and aged for at least 60 months, resulting in exceptional quality..."

Guan Zu: "…………"

What's with this strong sense of being a money-grabbing scheme?

There's a persistent misconception that garbage bags are a luxury item from later generations, which is purely a form of psychological manipulation (PUA) on clients.

Guan Zu: "If pigs only eat acorns, won't they grow up to look strange?"

waiter:"…………"

Soon, a table full of dishes was ordered.

Tax Lord humbly asked, "Mr. Guan, is it really true that as long as you treat the citizens well, you can gain their support?"

This was something he couldn't understand at all.

All he knew was that people are greedy, and that greed is endless.

Being kind to one person indiscriminately will only incite their greed.

However, this point seems to have lost its effectiveness when it comes to Hong Kong Island and the Five Star Group.

Kwan Cho nodded earnestly: "Yes, that's always been my thought, and that's what I've always done. And now, in just five years, Five Star Group has become number one on Hong Kong Island, with the support of countless citizens. This is the ultimate result of our consistent commitment to the philosophy of 'doing good deeds.'"

Adding a thought to myself: This is assuming I'm using cheat codes!
The tax collector's greed had begun to take hold.

If I could replicate this approach in New York and succeed, I would be the king of New York!
He took a deep breath and finally made up his mind:

"Mr. Guan, let's cooperate!"

He looked at Guan Zu with fervent eyes.

Guan Zu was 'surprised': "Cooperation? Haven't we already cooperated?"

Tax Master Wan shook his head and said seriously, "No, I'm talking about the cooperation of the Five-Star Property model! I want to ask Five-Star Property to send a team to New York to help me set up a new property company."

Guan Zu glanced at the system notification:
「八星慈善物业公司的一名员工（李建熙）完成了一件善事……善事进度（999/1000）+1……你获得釜山支持率+1%（25%）……」

Chairman Samsung, thank you for your hard work.

It's been almost two years, and you're still working like a slave for me.

So touching~~~~
Guan Zu looked at the new ox-horse in front of him... no, I mean the tax lord, and pretended to hesitate: "This... Mr. Donald, this kind of company doesn't need our Five Star Group, right? You can run it yourself."

The tax collector, with an air of righteousness, said, "We are friends, so naturally we should cooperate."

Inner monologue: "I'd like to do it myself, but I don't have any money. Perfect, I'll drag you, the sucker, into it."

"Mr. Guan, didn't you want to expand into the American market? This is a great opportunity!"

“I have political influence in New York, and you have money and experience. If we join forces, we will surely be able to create a great business in New York!”

Guan Zu looked tempted and slammed his hand on the table: "Alright! Let's cooperate then!"

Tax Lord: "Hahaha~~~ Cheers!"

Two bottles of Coke.

Dry!
The two had their arms around each other's shoulders.

In his mind's eye: "Once I succeed, I'll kick you out. Then the company and the reputation will be mine, hehehe~~~~~"

Guan Zu smirked. "I've got a cheat code, you idiot!"
Ding Hu, standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Guan Zu's smile.

Without a doubt, Brother Zu is definitely planning to scam people.

"Come on, another toast!"

"cheers!"

"By the way, Mr. Guan, how about we discuss a collaboration? You know I don't have much money right now..."

"We're friends, money's no problem..."

Then the two started talking about how to start a company and how to distribute profits.

After half an hour of discussion, a basic plan was finalized: a company would be established in New York, with Guan Zu providing the funding and Wan Shuiye providing political resources to cultivate relationships with all parties and ensure its success.

……

Shangri-La Hotel

The tax collector whistled, sipped his cola contentedly, took the elevator upstairs, and returned to his room.

I sat on the sofa and picked up the phone next to me.

He made an international call to his secretary in the United States: "How is the mayoral election going in New York right now?"

Secretary: "It's not clear yet, but according to opinion polls, the Democratic Party is in the lead. In the three surveys we conducted, the Democratic Party's support rate was above 60%."

Tax Master: "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Wan leaned back on the sofa, tapping his fingertips on the fabric.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

"I hope the Democrats win..."

"The five-star property model is a natural fit for the Democratic Party..."

"Then I'll switch from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party..."

I didn't betray the Republican Party!
It was the Republican Party that betrayed me!
The corners of the tax collector's mouth gradually curled up...

……

……

On the other side,
Guan Zu whistled and returned to his top-floor office in a cheerful mood.

Liang Xiaorou: "Brother Zu, you seem to be in a good mood..."

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Yes, because we finalized a collaboration."

After hearing a report at yesterday's high-level meeting that Tax Master Wan was keeping a close eye on Five Star Properties every day, Guan Zu realized that this was an opportunity.

In South Korea, he used the Samsung Group to expand Five Star Properties there.

So why can't the US do it?
With the tax lord acting as a guide, how could he not succeed?
So today, Guan Zu met with Wan Shui Ye, and through Guan Zu's hints and guidance, Wan Shui Ye really took the bait.

"Haha~~~"

Guan Zu returned to his office in a great mood.

Soon after, Hong Sheng brewed a cup of tea and brought it in.

"Ling ring ring~~~"

A phone call came.

Fang Zhanbo: "Brother Zu, I just received news that Soros's team has arrived in Hong Kong Island."

Guan Zu suddenly sat up from his chair.

Guan Zu: "You're here?"

Fang Zhanbo: "Yes, I checked. The people who came today immediately sent a signal to the financial world that they've invited Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen to a cocktail party tomorrow night..."

Guan Zu: "Wow~~~ Goodness, that's pretty high-profile!"

Fang Zhanbo: "It's very high-profile!"

Kwan Cho: "I'm very curious, isn't the Soros Fund so high-profile? Aren't they afraid of arousing the suspicion of Hong Kong's wealthy?"

Fang Zhanbo: "I don't know, but we should be able to figure it out by tomorrow."

At this moment,
Wu Lianqian came in and reported to Guan Zu: "Brother Zu, we just received an invitation from the Quantum Foundation in the United States to hold a cocktail party at the Peninsula Hotel tomorrow, and they'd like you to attend..."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Guan Zu thought for a moment and said to Wu Lianqian, "Just say I'm busy and ask Zhanbo to participate."

Wu Lianqian: "Yes!"

Guan Zu said to Fang Zhanbo on the other end of the phone, "Go to the party tomorrow night, get to know them better, but don't reveal our purpose."

Fang Zhanbo: "Okay, Brother Zu!"

After hanging up the phone,

Guan Zu made a phone call to Da Tou, telling him to go find Ashtang's secretary.

The Landlords' Association is still missing one person to endorse it, and Ash would be the perfect candidate to be the Governor of Hong Kong.

……

the next day,
day.

Saigon, sea area.

Ashdown and his secretary Feynman went fishing on a yacht.

Not long after,
A yacht then sailed over from a distance.

It is Luo Minsheng.

The current president of the Landlords Association!

(Image from "Overheard 2")
The yacht approached and stopped.

Luo Minsheng stood at the bow of the boat, watching the people on the other yacht.

Governor Ashdown!
An hour ago, he was notified to come here to meet his "backer," and he was completely bewildered at the time.

Because he never expected that the backer Guan Zu had arranged for him would actually be the Governor of Hong Kong!
Brother Zu is awesome!!

Feynman glanced at the photo and then compared it to Luo Minsheng.

"Mr. Luo, is that right?"

Luo Minsheng quickly said, "Mr. Feynman, hello, I am Luo Minsheng, Mr. Guan sent me!"

Feynman nodded: "Come on up."

Luo Minsheng jumped onto the boat and quickly bowed to Ash: "Your Excellency Governor, it is a great honor to meet you!"

Ashton sized up Luo Minsheng: "Mr. Luo, you're young and promising..."

"Let's go over the cooperation details carefully to avoid any mistakes later..."

Ashtang is a man of professional ethics; having taken Zu Ge's money, he naturally has to do his job well.

Because if he takes the money and doesn't do the job, he's afraid Guan Zu will kill him!

……

at night,

Ashton, a loyal subject of Great Britain, made a phone call to Downing Street.

"Your Majesty Prime Minister!"

"I have finally found an opportunity to avenge Great Britain!"

Prime Minister Major: "??"

At this point, he still harbored doubts about Ashdam.

Ashton confidently declared, "Your Excellency, you must still remember Soros. He caused our British pound to depreciate wildly and made Britain lose face on the international stage."

Major certainly knew Soros; that was during his term!
Ashdown: "Now he's in Hong Kong! I strongly suspect he's planning to use the same tactics he used on the British pound on Hong Kong!"

"I want to cooperate with him to take down Hong Kong Island!"

"As long as Hong Kong's economy collapses, then we, Britain, will win!"

Ashtanga, a loyal minister, spoke with resounding conviction!

On the other end of the phone, Prime Minister Major's eyes lit up.

He knows perfectly well how ruthless Soros is and how embarrassed Britain was back then.

"it is good!"

"Hahaha~~~"

"Very good, Ashdown, you've finally made something of yourself!"

Ashton's expression froze.

No,

Why are you swearing at me for no reason?!

Indeed, my betrayal was the right thing to do!
