America's Big Hero

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Sean was dressed in formal clothes, got on the stretched Lincoln of the US Consulate, and arrived at the Governor's Palace on time.
The car stopped in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Lorraine got out of the car and held the door frame with one hand, and Sean stepped out of the car with a decent smile on his face.
At this moment, there was a burst of clicking, clicking, and the flash flickered wildly. Sean was taken aback for a moment, almost blinded.
Damn, what's the situation! ?
Before he could react, he saw a white-haired old man walking over. After a closer look, it was the governor Youde, who greeted him at the door in person.
Sean cursed wildly in his heart, but still kept a smile on his face, shaking hands with Youde, exchanging greetings, and accepting the posing.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a fat man next to him with a camera on his shoulders and ran up. The moment he saw the fat man, Sean almost kicked him.
Hemp egg!
It's only been a day, why the fuck did I see this guy again!
Suddenly appearing beside him really startled Sean.
Sean never expected to be on the news for two consecutive days!
Lorraine stood obliquely behind Sean, and he really saw Sean's leg twitch.
She could think of the fright Sean had just received.
Hold on, I'm professionally trained.
Can't laugh!
Glancing at Fatty's side, seeing that little bitch didn't show up, I was even more happy in my heart, the corners of my mouth were no longer twitching...
In fact, not only Sean, but Torrey, who was in charge of protecting the safety behind him, was also taken aback. He was at the scene yesterday, and he almost pulled out his gun and collapsed the fat man.
The fat man didn't know that he had walked before the gate of hell.
After a few pleasantries, the Governor invited Xiao En to the Governor's Palace.
While walking, Yod said: "I am very glad that Mr. Rockefeller is visiting. I have prepared a small welcome ceremony. I didn't inform you in advance. This is a surprise."
Xiao En stared at Shen Bi who was standing in the hall, and the smile on his face froze...
Surprise you are paralyzed!
Chapter 236: No, it's smashed!
Walking beside Youde, Sean didn't even know how he managed not to kill this idiot with a single shot!
What the hell is a surprise!
In the past, it was Sean who surprised others. This is the first time he has felt the horror of surprises!
Lorraine, a professional agent, had her heart beating crazily faster. She didn't call Yod an idiot, she just called Sean crazy.
If you want to make a dirty deal with Youde, you can't make it clear in private, you have to make an official note through the US consulate.
The momentum is borrowed, but the person is also exposed!
Isn't this crazy!
On the opposite side, looking at the young man who walked in side by side with the governor, Shen Bi kept blinking his eyes and frowning more and more. Why does this figure look so familiar?
I seem to have seen it somewhere.
Why did my heart feel an unknown fire when I saw this figure, and I wanted to hit someone crazily?
Could it be that he was angry when he encountered terrorists yesterday?
Let yourself be grumpy! ?
Walking into the hall, Yoder personally helped Sean introduce the people in front of him, "This is David Akers-Jones, Chief Secretary."
After introducing a circle of senior officials of the Governor's Mansion, he walked to Shen Bi's side.
"This is Shen Bi, the president of HSBC Bank. He is known as the 'big boss' in Hong Kong Island, the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island."
"Hello!" Xiao En kept a smile on his face, and reached out to shake hands with Shen Bi.
At the moment of shaking hands, Shen Bi's expression froze slightly, the damn familiarity came again!
Sean naturally felt Shen Bi's body reaction, and Sean was also taken aback. He was afraid that Shen Bi would suddenly point at himself and shout that this guy was a 'terrorist'.
Of course, you can't do anything to Sean even if you shout, there is no evidence, not to mention the Rockefeller family, Sean himself is not a vegetarian!
What's wrong with the British guy? Soros's speculation on the British pound almost killed the British, so the British have to bear it obediently.
The point is that it will be very embarrassing, and it will completely ruin Sean's intention to come this time.
This is worth more than a few hundred million.
After a round of introductions, there was another tea party, which was considered afternoon tea.
It wasn't until an hour that Sean sat alone with the Governor.
After the greetings were over, Sean went straight to the topic, "I only represent myself. I personally think that the country that poses the greatest threat to the United States in the future must be the north. Therefore, I personally think that there is nothing wrong with Mr. Governor's actions." question."
Youde was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Sean to directly mention what happened yesterday. After all, he was an old politician. With the same expression on his face, he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Sean, for your approval."
"I feel like I could have more cooperation with Mr. Yoder."
"for example?"
"For example, when Mr. Yoder returns to his hometown to continue his political career, I am willing to support you in the election." Sean stared into Yoder's eyes and said, "For example, Mr. Yoder's son is fine. If Mr. Yoder is not going to enter politics, Then I am willing to do some business with Mr. I think we have a wide range of cooperation space."
Yoder understood as soon as he heard it, "Then how can I help Mr. Sean?"
"Kwai Tsing Container Terminal!" Sean smiled and pointed in the direction of Kwai Tsing, "I know that the Hong Kong government is reclamating the sea to build roads, and is building Kwai Tsing Container Terminal 678, and the terminal has not yet been sold."
"This..." Yoder's face changed, and his brows were deeply frowned.
Due to the reform and opening up in the north eight years ago, the export volume has been increasing day by day, and the construction of Shenzhen Port cannot keep up with the crazy demand for foreign trade. At this time, Hong Kong Island is already the largest transshipment port in Asia, and a large amount of transshipment industry will naturally be transferred to Hong Kong Island.
Faced with this situation, the British Hong Kong government reclaimed the sea to build roads in the Kwai Chung area, and prepared to build container terminals 5, 6, and 7 on the basis of the original five container terminals.
By last year, that is, in 85, the throughput of Kwai Tsing Container Terminal successfully ranked among the world's three largest container ports.
According to this development momentum, it will surpass New York this year to become the second, and next year it will surpass Rotterdam to become the world's number one.
As long as these three container terminals are won, in the next 3 years, this is a super cash cow that is completely ignored, and will continue to produce countless US knife music for Sean.
At present, No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-] terminals: Modern Container Terminals Group, the holding company is Wharf Group, which is the charter king
Pier [-]: Port Authority of Singapore Holdings
Pier No. [-]: Hong Kong International Container Terminals, the holding company is the Hutchison Whampoa Port Group of the richest man, and the Port Authority of Singapore
(PS: Cucumber Li was changed to the richest man in the movie because of Hutchison Whampoa)
"I won't hide it from Mr. Sean, these three ports are already in operation, and I believe Mr. Sean can find out who it is." Youde spread his hands, although he was polite, but the meaning was obvious,
If the original historical development is followed, container terminals No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], and the future No. [-] will all be taken over by HIT, a Hong Kong international container terminal company controlled by Hutchison Whampoa, the richest man.
Now, Sean is ready to intervene in advance.
"I know He is the richest man on Hong Kong Island, but no matter how close he is to Downing Street, he is still Chinese." Sean said nonchalantly, "Besides, it's not that I look down on him."
"Well, I just look down on him, and I think I have the right to look down on him."
"He, can he keep these ports?"
"Can he handle the pressure?"
"He can't, he doesn't have the confidence, you know."
The corner of Yod's mouth twitched, he couldn't bear Sean's words so bluntly, but, well, he had to admit that Sean was right.
In front of Rockefeller, mere cucumbers are nothing!
Sean picked up the coffee and took a sip, put it down and continued, "Everyone understands the meaning of Downing Street."
"There are still 11 years left, and this place does not belong to the UK, and the influence of the north is gradually expanding. I think it is in line with Downing Street's policy to introduce the forces of the world's largest country into Hong Kong Island and jointly resist the pressure from the north."
"As for the richest man, his so-called operation is not worth mentioning."
"What do you think, the Governor?" Sean raised his hand as a gesture.
Youde opened his mouth and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. He has great influence on Hong Kong Island, and the Hong Kong government often needs the cooperation of these rich Chinese."
"That's something other Hong Kong governors need to consider later." Sean said bluntly: "This has nothing to do with you, sir, right, Mr. Yoder, you don't have much time left!"
"And after you return to the UK, can the richest man help you?"
"He can't, but I can, and Rockefeller can!" Sean stretched out his fingers and slammed on the table.
"In the end, it was Rockefeller who won these ports, dissatisfied? Heh, dissatisfied, take a look!"
"Okay, okay, I think there is nothing wrong with the Hong Kong government." Youde was convinced by Sean's words, and with a smile on his face, he stood up and shook hands with Sean.
The agreement was reached, and both parties were very happy.
Sean's first question was the price of the three ports to be built.
Sean definitely has no money.
Damn, I don't know where to raise the money for the TV station.
But, can you see such a big piece of fat slipping away from your mouth without money?
Can you do nothing fucking without money?
no way!
"The three piers can only be government projects because they are reclaimed from the sea, and the cost is very high. The Hong Kong government has invested 25 billion Hong Kong dollars." Youde explained to Sean: "In terms of selling price, Mr. He is currently at It is estimated that the final price should be about 23 billion Hong Kong dollars.”
Sean:? ? ?
The government spends 15 billion to build and then sells it for 13 billion?
What kind of logic is this?
Youde seemed to see Xiao En's doubts, and shrugged with a smile, "After taking over the port, it still needs a lot of investment and construction, as well as a lot of personnel expenses. The government can't operate it. You know, corruption will be very serious. serious."
"As for selling it at a low price, the most important thing is that the Hong Kong government can still receive a lot of tax revenue every year."
The corner of Sean's mouth twitched, very good, this is very capitalist!
Sean remembers that this will be the busiest port in the world in the future. Even if the port next door in Shencheng catches up 20 years later, the transfer price of a single port here will exceed 20 billion.
US dollars!
Damn it, no wonder Cucumber is the richest man!
"Can I know who helped this richest man operate?" Sean was shocked, what a talent!
"Just now you met, the leader of Hong Kong Island, the God of Wealth, the president of HSBC, Mr. Shen Bi." Youde smiled mysteriously, except for this, no one else has this ability.
Xiao En suddenly realized that in the legend of Cucumber in later generations, it was Shen Bi, the leader of the group, who lent money to Cucumber to buy the Hutchison Whampoa stock held by HSBC.
In the end, he became the major shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa and sent cucumbers directly to the sky.
That's what happened 6 years ago!
Now this guy is going to help Hutchison Whampoa win a few new piers. Damn it, he's closer than his own father.
If it weren't for the similar age, Sean would have suspected that they were father and son.
Well, HSBC actually owns 11% of Hutchison Whampoa.
"So, does it mean that if I want to win all three piers, I still need to pass Shen Bi's level?" Xiao En asked with squinted eyes.
"Yes!" Youde nodded heavily, "Don't look at me as the governor, but, you know, HSBC is much more capable than me. He almost owns most of the stocks of important companies on Hong Kong Island, and his power is beyond your imagination."
Xiao En's face darkened, he didn't want to look for Shen Bi.
Damn, the thought of walking into the HSBC building makes Sean feel itchy all over.
What is this, revisiting the old place?
Again? !
But Yoder said, Sean can't just leave the money and leave it to the cucumber because of awkwardness!
"You'd better talk to Shen Bi as soon as possible." Youde reminded, "I really don't have much time in Hong Kong Island, but Shen Bi will definitely retire this time."
"Ah?" Sean was taken aback for a moment, didn't he, did he retire the leader of the class by himself?
"Why? Well, HSBC Bank has developed very fast under the leadership of Shen Bi. The four oceans and now HSBC are the only ones. Why do you want to retire?"
