Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Alande listened to what Old Hu said and agreed with him deeply. To be honest, he was a little wary of Xie Zhiyu. This guy was not as easy to control as Jiang. In two words: unruly!

Being his neighbor, you have to be extremely careful. If you are not careful, he might come over and kick you. Even if you protest, you won't be able to find the person responsible.

I went to see Mr. Jiang, and he said he couldn't control Lao Xie.

If you go find Xie Zhiyu, he might give you a slap in the face!

It would be great if we could form a community of interests with him.

"Chairman Hu, what do you think we should do?"

Hu Zhenhua was waiting for this sentence and said with a smile,

"First, let me take a look at the respective advantages of Baoan and Xiangjiang!"

"Bao'an's advantage lies in its numerous factories and abundant labor force, so we can define it as a manufacturing base! Gentlemen, do you have any objections to my statement?"

Alande nodded slightly in agreement and said,

"Yes, the term manufacturing base is very appropriate."

Hu Zhenhua blew out a puff of smoke and continued,

"And what are Hong Kong's advantages? It's open-minded, aligned with the West, and its vast population speaks foreign languages. Therefore, you should leverage your strengths and encourage private foreign trade companies to serve as a link between Bao'an and the West. If this is done well, it will be more profitable than running a factory. Furthermore, Hong Kong should leverage its financial strengths to facilitate financing for businesses, whether through bank loans or stock and bond financing. Therefore, my vision for Hong Kong is: a free trade port + a financial center!"

"In this way, the two places will be more complementary and there will not be much competition."

Lao Hu’s statement is a complete summary of Hong Kong’s development in the next few decades, and it is very pertinent.

Alande's mind seemed to be cleared up, and the depression he had been feeling for the past few days was swept away.

"Mr. Hu, no wonder you were able to build such a massive business empire in just a few months. Your knowledge and insight are unmatched by ordinary people!"

Hu Zhenhua was humble for once and said with a smile,

"As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. I'm only considering this from a business perspective. If you were also involved in business, your achievements wouldn't necessarily be lower than mine!"

"Hahahahaha!"

A gentleman likes to be praised. Alande felt better and asked with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, how do you think we should invest with Baoan?"

All of Baoan’s money is invested in military expenditures. The finances are tight, so where is the money for investment?

Hong Kong is not much better, it is extremely poor these days.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his temples and said,

"How about this? Our TA company will invest in purchasing land in Xiangjiang to build properties, establish new commodities, and establish a stock exchange. Additionally, I will lend money to the Bao'an County government to acquire shares in these companies. After Xiangjiang receives the funds, it can invest in Bao'an or acquire shares in existing factories!"

Henry laughed when he heard this. He had heard Carter say that Hu Zhenhua always balanced public and private interests in his work, and today he saw a real example of this.

We have to admit that some people are born to be in business.

Alande was overjoyed and laughed loudly, saying,

"We welcome TA Group back to Hong Kong. We will definitely give you the best price for the land you purchased!"

Ever since Lao Hu was stabbed with a bayonet last time, TA Group has almost completely withdrawn its investment, retaining only some properties that it cannot let go.

During this period, Hong Kong was under comprehensive suppression by the TA Group. It was unprecedented that a city was brought to shame by a single company.

Now that Hu Zhenhua has returned, it is definitely a benchmark.

Old Hu's eyes turned, and he had another idea, and said,

"I've always been a friend, and since you're so generous, I can't help but be righteous! So, let's sign a 30-year agreement. From now on, our TA company's goods will be transshipped from Hong Kong. We'll build a transshipment zone next to the World Expo, and the goods will enter Hong Kong from there. How about that? I can't promise more, but more than half of the goods will definitely be no problem!"

Alande didn't expect there would be so many surprises today, and he agreed immediately!

Seeing that the other party was fooled, Hu Zhenhua began to make demands.

"Mr. Alande, as you know, our company is a large international enterprise and we need ports. I wonder if I could be lucky enough to purchase one or a section of one?"

Alande's IQ is completely off the charts. He laughed and said,

"No problem, I'll coordinate it for you immediately."

Old Hu was secretly proud of himself. This was the advantage of knowing inside information. He could make plans as he pleased.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed and comfortable.

Hu Zhenhua lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and suddenly said seriously,

"Alande, you've seen the video, right? Law enforcement must be standardized. We can't let a few bad apples smear the entire force! All people are created equal, and that shouldn't just be a slogan! I hope to legislate to protect the lives and property of the people and allow them to live with dignity. If you don't change, maybe one day someone will bite your neck off like Li Haoran did! Or maybe one day, I'll have to confront you for my employees!"

Alande's face darkened instantly. This time it really wasn't Xie Zhiyu, the troublemaker, who was causing trouble.

He had watched the video and interviewed a large number of witnesses. It was indeed Pete who committed the violence first and then accidentally shot at the port on the Bao'an side.

Alande was thinking about how to answer when Zhu Jie came running over in a panic and shouted,

"Chairman, something serious has happened! The bomb squadron assaulted the public, and the armored company intervened, killing many members of the squadron. Both sides are calling for reinforcements. Battalion Commander Wang Gensheng is mobilizing tanks and heavy artillery. The regimental commander has authorized the airport's fighter and bomber squadrons to be under Battalion Commander Wang's command!"

Hu Zhenhua was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface he was worried. He shouted,

"Alande, what did I just say? You have to make some changes! Once the fight starts, everyone will be destroyed!"

Henry was quite angry. He was extremely dissatisfied with both Alande and Xie Zhiyu. The United States' support for you is not to allow you to engage in internal strife!

Alande was terrified. If a war broke out, the garrison would definitely not be a match for the security group. Although Xie Zhiyu placed heavy troops in Huixian and Dongguan, Baoan still had 15,000 garrisons equipped with all kinds of weapons and equipment, as well as fighters and bombers.

The Gentleman Country has a naval advantage, but Xie Zhiyu has several large-caliber heavy artillery with a terrifying range of 30 kilometers, and the warships cannot threaten the coastline at all.

Once the fight starts, there is only one outcome for the foreigners, and that is to be driven out to sea!

Alande was no longer arrogant and quickly asked Henry and Hu Zhenhua for help.

"Gentlemen, we must avoid armed conflict, otherwise it will make outsiders think that the free world is not united!"
