Baiyue Cave Master
Chapter 544 Harvest Plan
When Governor Murray MacLehose heard Henry Keswick's words, he frowned and felt very unhappy. He said angrily:
"Mr. Henry, don't blame me for your own incompetence.
Xiangjiang Group is just an agent for premium rice.
What if the Hong Kong government takes over the Xiangjiang Group?
If you can't get a supply channel for premium rice, it's just an empty shell and meaningless.
But do you know how serious the consequences will be if the Hong Kong government takes action?
Do you know why the previous Hong Kong government, from administrative officials to police officers, was replaced from top to bottom?
Do you know what the Empire’s most important mission in Hong Kong is now?
You bastard, use your rice-sized brain to go back and think carefully.
You can't find the supplier and origin of premium rice yourself, and you dare to blame me.
Idiot, get out of here, Shit."
Henry Keswick stood up with an unpleasant look on his face, shook his clothes, shrugged gracefully, and said:
"Mr. Governor, I'll be leaving now. We at Jardine Matheson are not easy to bully.
I hope you can think carefully about my suggestion.”
Murray MacLehose suppressed his anger and slammed his hand on the desk. A loud bang echoed in the study of the Governor's Palace.
After Henry Keswick left the Governor's House,
Soon, Hong Kong Chief Secretary Chung Yat-kit, Financial Secretary Harry Haddon-kee, Secretary for Justice John Hobley, and Police Commissioner John Smith arrived.
The five big bosses under the Governor of Hong Kong came out of the study next to the study and came to the study where the Hong Kong government was located.
"Mr. MacLehose, these foreign companies have been bullying East Asia for too long.
We have forgotten even the basic social etiquette. Since Her Majesty the Queen has arranged for us to help her manage her territory,
I think we need to set some rules for the people here.
Let these people learn some etiquette.”
As the second-in-command of the Hong Kong government, Zhong Yijie was very dissatisfied with the behavior of businessmen offending the Governor, so he directly set rules for these businessmen.
"Yes, Mr. Governor, Hong Kong is the Queen's territory, so it is not the turn of these foreign companies to have a say."
The Attorney General John Horbury was very interested in the proposal of Chief Secretary Stephen Chung and immediately followed up.
As the highest executive officer of Hong Kong at that time, Governor Murray MacLehose was in charge of Hong Kong's military and political affairs and had the highest decision-making power in all aspects of Hong Kong's politics, economy, and society.
The most important thing for Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose now is the wealth harvesting plan.
The Chief Secretary, Mr. Chung Yat-kit, is responsible for assisting the Governor in handling government affairs and plays an important role in administrative decision-making and management. He is one of the core figures in the Hong Kong government and controls many administrative affairs of Hong Kong.
The Financial Secretary, John Hamid, is in charge of Hong Kong's financial and economic affairs. He holds the financial and economic lifeline of Hong Kong and is responsible for tax policy formulation, fiscal budget preparation and implementation, promoting business development and supervising financial markets. He is a very important assistant to the Governor of Hong Kong.
Secretary for Justice John Hobley, as the chief legal adviser to the Hong Kong government, is responsible for drafting bills, providing legal advice and initiating criminal prosecutions, and has important powers in maintaining the rule of law and legal order in Hong Kong.
In addition, the Commissioner of Police, Shi Lirong, who is responsible for maintaining public order,
These are the five most powerful tycoons in Hong Kong’s power arena today.
Even the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, could not easily ignore the opinions of these people.
So MacLehose had to hold back his temper and said:
“Gentlemen, please take a seat.
As the frontier between the East and West, Hong Kong is also an excellent deep-water port.
Under the control of our pirate nation, it has been built into a world-class metropolis and one of the world's three largest financial centers.
The amount of global funds gathered here every year is innumerable.
Hong Kong, among all the colonies of the Pirate Federation, is a gilded land, rich as hell."
After saying this, MacLehose looked around at the five generals meaningfully, and the five generals sat down one after another, looking thoughtful.
The new leadership team of Hong Kong, led by MacLehose, is now eager to take over all the power and wealth of Hong Kong.
Therefore, the first move of MacLehose's team after taking office was to attack the Police Force. They set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption and vigorously cracked down on corrupt police and corrupt police culture.
The big bosses who control the major underworld organizations in Hong Kong act as white gloves to eliminate the middleman charging link of the police department.
Allowing the underworld to develop rampantly and reap social wealth.
In the past, the problem of corrupt police in Hong Kong was well known to everyone. The "licensed gangsters" who carried guns and charged for them had become a cancer in Hong Kong society.
During the day, "licensed hooligans" go door-to-door in the streets to collect fees, and at night, dwarf mules go door-to-door in the streets to collect protection fees.
During daily patrols, the "licensed hooligans" collected "fees" from street vendors but did not provide corresponding protection, which has long made Hong Kong vendors angry but not able to speak out.
The Hong Kong government's "ICAC" storm obviously won broad support from all sectors of society and was therefore a great success.
Through anti-corruption, MacLehose and his group completely replaced the police department of Hong Kong from top to bottom, cleared out the Chinese detectives who controlled the underworld of Hong Kong, and let MacLehose and his group completely control the guns of the Hong Kong Police Department.
MacLehose was a very intelligent and rational person, and was not persuaded by Zhong Yajie and John Hobley.
Instead, he said calmly:
"Gentlemen, the issue of the foreign company is not the focus of our discussion today.
These big bosses are just the spokespersons of the powerful people on this island. They have been bullying East Asia for a long time and have lost their sense of awe. We can slowly clean them up in the future.
The most important thing for us now is to quickly formulate my "Ten-Year Housing Plan"
Promote the vigorous development of Hong Kong's real estate industry,
Then they used land auctions to reap the wealth of wealthy Chinese.
Everything else must give way to this plan.”
Financial Secretary Harry Ha Dingji and others naturally knew the importance of the harvest plan, so they said:
"Mr. Governor, you know that I am an expert on China.
There is a famous Chinese saying, "When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns."
The former Governor of Hong Kong allowed the police to run wild, making Hong Kong society a mess.
As a result, the Chinese people in Hong Kong have low trust in our Hong Kong government, which has seriously affected the foundation of our rule in Hong Kong.
If the Hong Kong government were to take action for the sake of an agency company as Mr. Henry of Jardine Matheson had just said, the consequences would be very serious.
After all, when Hong Kong was in chaos before, it was only the people at the bottom of society who were in chaos.
These wealthy Chinese were not affected.
If our Hong Kong government takes action against the wealthy people in Hong Kong this time,
This will definitely cause panic among the wealthy Chinese class, and will cause a large number of wealthy Chinese to flee with their money.
This will have very negative consequences and serious impact on our plan to maintain social stability and reap the wealth of wealthy Chinese.
So regarding this point, please consider it carefully, Mr. Governor."
