Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981
Page 647
Yang Chen was born in the 60s, and the 70s and [-]s was the period when Xiangjiang developed most rapidly. Yang Chen's generation was undoubtedly the most influenced by British education.
Therefore, Youde thinks that Yang Chen has a far more favorable impression of Britain than the interior.
Seeing Youde staring at him closely, Yang Chen couldn't help but want to scold him, "There are so many big bosses here who don't call names, but they just look at me. Is it because he is young and easy to bully?" '
Although he was very upset, Yang Chen didn't show it, he deliberately pretended not to see it, and closed his eyes slightly to fall asleep.
Yang Chen's action not only made the charter king beside him dumbfounded, but also made Governor Youde dumbfounded. He originally thought that the other party would respond, but he thought that he would not accept this at all, closed his eyes, and directly Playing dead right under his nose.
Youde's face twitched violently, and he wanted to wake Yang Chen up, but he also thought of the relationship between the other party and the prince and his wife, and the other party had already promised to go to England to meet Mrs. Thatcher.
After thinking about it, Youde decided not to embarrass Yang Chen for the time being. Although the other party is young, but in terms of energy and connections, he has a wider relationship than most of the people present.
Even to a certain extent, it is almost catching up with the charter ship king, the world's ship king.
After the global shipping disaster, although the status of the charter king in Xiangjiang did not lose the slightest points because of Wharf, in the world shipping industry, because of the ship disaster of the century, the personal influence of the charter king has been greatly reduced.
The name of the ship king is no longer as loud as before.
On the contrary, it is also because of this title that it has been more influenced than others. If it were not for the support of HSBC Bank to help the charter king transform, with the number of ships owned by the ship king, even if it was a small step earlier, charter Wang couldn't even sit here steadily.
Yang Chen didn't show up, so Youde could only find someone else.
However, it is a pity.
Just in line with the old saying, the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, and the big bosses of Chinese capital are not stupid, let alone small fish and shrimp, where the new governor, Youde, can handle it casually.
Even the Governor MacLehose, who has been re-elected for the longest time and has the highest prestige in Xiangjiang, had nothing to do with these old fritters before.
Youde, the new governor, is now, to put it bluntly, only the highest official in name.
There are rights, but the foundation is blank. Even those British administrators cannot be united with him in such a short period of time.
The United Kingdom is a capitalist country, and Xiangjiang also implements a capitalist system. Only the rich can speak loudly here. Governor Yode may threaten one or two families with his position, maybe it's okay.
But it is obviously impossible to put pressure on the dozen or so Chinese-funded bigwigs in front of us, the leaders of this group of Chinese-funded forces.
If a few years ago, the British consortium had an absolute advantage, perhaps the big guys would succumb.
As the old saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
But now under the pressure from the inland side, the British-funded consortia in Xiangjiang stopped expanding like before.
Most of the British-funded consortiums retreated one by one, either evacuating Xiangjiang, or preparing to evacuate Xiangjiang.
Under such circumstances, there is no longer a group of Chinese capitals to suppress, and HSBC has begun to support Chinese companies, starting with Jardine and other British capitals.
Under such circumstances, how could a group of Chinese capital bosses be afraid of a governor who came down from the air.
Facing a group of Chinese bigwigs who don't want to get in, Youde's face turned green with anger. He failed to achieve his goal, so he could only leave angrily.
After Youde left, Yang Chen, who had fallen asleep, woke up suddenly, and found that several big men around him were staring at him. Yang Chen stretched out his hand, rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then turned his head to face the chartered boat. Wang, knowingly asked: "Uncle Bao, where did Governor Yod go? Is this the end?"
The Chartered Ship King rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You kid, just keep pretending!"
Yang Chen continued to pretend to be stupid and said: "What am I pretending to be? You a group of adults are talking about things, and you have nothing to do to drag me into it. I'm not bored, let's rest for a while."
Acting must be performed in full, no matter whether everyone understands it or not, what should be acted must be performed.
Seeing this, the Chartered Ship King shook his head, looking helpless.
Seeing his arrogance, the gambler at the side couldn't help admonishing him: "Okay, I say you're almost fine, you should be restrained. No matter how you say it, you are also the governor. With your attitude, be careful to secretly give you little shoes." wear."
He also saw Yang Chen deliberately pretending to be asleep just now, to be honest, he didn't know what to say to this cheap son-in-law.
With Yang Chen's attitude just now, it would be impossible for Governor Youde to let go of anyone present.
That is to say, Yang Chen is young, coupled with his reputation and career, Yode doesn't want to make him suffer at this time.
However, this person cannot always be lucky.
As the saying goes, the wall falls and everyone pushes.
Be low-key, that's right.
Facing the gambling king, Yang Chen didn't dare to lose face, and he didn't even talk back. He directly changed the subject, "Uncle, how are you preparing for the World Cup finals next month?"
Seeing him asking this again, the gambling king was speechless and said, "Why are you still thinking about this, you kid? Are you really so sure you can win?"
Yang Chen dismissed it and said: "I'm just asking casually, and your old man won't let me bet, so it doesn't make sense at all."
During this period of time, he asked Junzi and others to bet on the World Cup in various developed countries in Europe and America. The total amount was almost one billion US dollars.
Haojiang, as a gambling city in Asia, collected a lot of funds this time. Although he didn't know the exact amount, but with the gambling habits of Asians, the gambling capital must not be low.
But, it's a pity that the gambler doesn't accept his bet. The reason is that Yang Chen's betting amount is too large, and the second is 'superstition'.
Xiangjiang has always believed in the theory of Fengshui. According to the words of those masters in Xiangjiang, Yang Chen is at a time when his luck is in his hands. If anyone opposes him, it will definitely end badly.
This is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
The lottery gambler didn't want to work hard for half a year, and let others get all the benefits in the end, so he refused to let Yang Chen play.
Chapter 696
After chatting for a while, Yang Chen saw that the big bosses had no intention of leaving, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncles, if there is nothing else, I will go out first."
Seeing Yang Chen's butt leaving the seat, the charter king reached out and grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "Ah Chen, why are you so anxious, sit down first."
They didn't give Governor Youde an explanation today, so naturally they need to discuss countermeasures.
Yang Chen sat down with a wry smile and asked, "Uncle Bao, what else do you need?"
The chartered boat king said: "Of course there is something. Don't pretend to be stupid, you boy. You have seen the situation just now. The new official took office three times. We didn't give the new governor face today. Who knew he would take over?" Will it set the fire on us if we come down?"
"The fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond. We can't avoid it. Let's discuss it quickly and see how to solve this matter."
Everyone was silent for a while when they heard the words, the smiles on their faces disappeared slowly, and everyone frowned, obviously worried about Yode leaving angrily just now.
Since ancient times, the traditional Chinese thinking has been that fame should not compete with officials. As the governor of Xiangjiang, even if the other party has just taken office and has no deep roots, they have not forgotten that all the top officials in Xiangjiang are British.
Regardless of whether Youde's roots are deep or not, once the other party really gives an order, it may not be possible to deal with all of them, but it is still no problem to pick one or two out of them.
The British had just won a big victory, and no one wanted to be in trouble for the other side at this time.
Seeing the worried looks of the big bosses, Yang Chen shook his head for a while, sat in his seat, and didn't take the initiative to speak.
"Ah Chen, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"
