Unlimited roaming of all heavens movies
Chapter 100: Rich and Noble
December 1971, 11.
Government House, Albert Road, Central.
Today is the day when Murray MacLehose officially takes office.
All the major media in Hong Kong are concentrated on both sides of the road.
Including TVB and two TV stations of Rediffusion Television.
Reporters were discussing which big names would be present today.
Suddenly they saw a luxurious Rolls-Royce driving in.
They all picked up their cameras and rushed forward to see who was the first one to come.
"It's Sir Sanders, the HSBC boss. I didn't expect him to be the first one to come. I thought he would come out last."
A reporter from TVB squeezed in front of Sanders and asked:
"Hello, Sir Sanders.
What brings you here so early?"
Sanders smiled and said:
"I have known the Governor-General Sir Murray MacLehose for more than 20 years.
So I came here early today to congratulate him."
These reporters want to continue interviewing.
However, they were separated by the guards of the Governor's Palace, who were not allowed to disturb today's distinguished guests for a long time.
At this time, another car drove over.
It’s the boss from Standard Chartered Bank coming over.
In Hong Kong, Standard Chartered and HSBC are a pair of enemies.
Unfortunately, Standard Chartered is always outshined by HSBC.
So the boss of Standard Chartered Bank was the first to arrive after knowing that HSBC Sanders had arrived.
He didn't want to wait any longer, so he came here early.
He did not accept any interviews from reporters and hurried to the Governor's Palace.
Seeing this, the reporters could only raise their cameras and take more photos.
In just three minutes, another luxury car arrived.
The person who came this time was the owner of the Peninsula Hotel.
The Kadoorie family is known as the most secretive family in Hong Kong.
The current head, Lawrence Kadoorie, is a very capable man.
His father, Eric Kadoorie, served during World War II.
The Japanese invaders who invaded Hong Kong were thrown into concentration camps and died miserably.
After the end of World War II.
He pulled his family back together from the ruins.
Moreover, the family has cooperated with many commercial companies of Bald Eagle, and it has become more and more powerful.
He rushed to attend MacLehose's inauguration ceremony so early today.
It was because he keenly sensed that a new crisis was befalling the Kadoorie family.
Lawrence discovered that whether it was China Light and Power or the Peninsula Hotels Group.
The stocks of these two Kadoorie family's core companies were secretly bought up in the market.
He already had a vague idea of who was plotting against these two companies.
That's why he came here early today.
The enemy was too powerful, making him feel deeply desperate and suffocated.
The feeling of powerlessness and pressure is even greater than that of the Japanese invaders during the Japanese occupation.
He hopes that the two sides can meet and have a good talk at MacLehose's inauguration ceremony today.
Lawrence, in a irritable mood, ignored the reporters' calls.
After he went in, luxury cars arrived one after another, all of them were the rich and powerful in the city.
There are people from the four major British groups.
Newby, the great banker of Jardine Matheson and the current head of the Keswick family.
York Smith, the head of Jardine Matheson & Co., was also the most outstanding figure in the Smith family.
Qi Dezun, the boss of Hutchison Whampoa, is still in high spirits and the entire Hutchison is expanding rapidly.
Wheelock & Co. boss Madden, and the major shareholder behind Wheelock & Co. Zhang Yuliang.
Except for the people in these large British groups.
Many small and medium-sized British groups also arrived one after another.
It hasn't been long since the people in the British group entered.
The heavyweights of the Chinese-owned groups also appeared one by one.
The world's shipping magnate, Pao Yue-kong, and three other shipping magnates.
Dong Haoyun, Zhao Congyan, Cao Wenjin.
As for Xu Shixun?
The shipping empire founded by his father Xu Aizhou has basically been abandoned by him and has gone ashore.
In addition to the four shipping tycoons, there are also red masters such as Mr. Huo and Mr. Zhuang.
This Mr. Zhuang is not the father-in-law Li Jiacheng who supported Lei Luo to take the position.
As for who.
If you check the information, you will find out that it is the banker Mr. Zhuang who donated all his wealth.
The members of the four major families in modern times are still juniors.
They could only follow their father-in-law and come to the Governor's Mansion one by one.
Now the real four major families.
The heads of the Ho Tung family, the Li Pui Choi family, the Lee Hiu Sun family, the Chow Wing Tai family, and other families also came one by one.
After the people from the four major families go in.
The most important figure, Director Liang of the Communications Agency, also came to the Governor's Mansion.
Director Liang was cautious in his words and actions and did not accept any interviews from reporters.
The time came to half past nine, and there was still half an hour left before the celebration was about to begin.
MacLehose asked his secretary anxiously:
"Is everyone here?"
The secretary replied:
"Sir, the city's dignitaries have arrived, and even Director Liang from the communications agency has arrived."
MacLehose asked quickly:
"So what about Mr. Li Shaoan? Has he arrived?"
The secretary quickly recalled the guests who came today.
When he found that Li Shaoan's name was not found, he said:
"Sir, Mr. Li Shaoan hasn't arrived yet. Do you need me to call him?"
Murray MacLehose was a little anxious as he wondered why Li Shaoan hadn't arrived yet.
He really wanted to follow the secretary's advice, but after thinking it over, he waved his hand.
At this time, the secretary reminded:
"Sir, the inauguration ceremony will begin in twenty minutes. Should you go get ready first?"
MacLehose hesitated for a moment, then said firmly:
"As long as Mr. Li Shaoan has not arrived, the inauguration ceremony has not started.
When he comes, the ceremony will begin.
Go and arrange for more people to check if he is stuck in traffic."
MacLehose knew very well that if he wanted to achieve something in Hong Kong, he must get the help of Li Shaoan.
The secretary was very confused.
He didn't understand why Murray MacLehose had to wait until Li Shaoan came before starting the inauguration ceremony.
Although he was MacLehose's confidential secretary.
But Murray MacLehose did not tell him a lot of secret information.
So it is not difficult to understand why he did not know the importance of Li Shaoan.
At this time, the reporters outside looked at the time and it was already nine forty-five.
It seemed that no guests came anymore.
They all relaxed and started to exchange some information with their peers.
Just then, a convoy of luxurious cars drove over from a distance.
