Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon Chapter 189

The Government House of Hong Kong, located between Upper Albert Road and Lower Albert Road in Mid-levels Central, is the residence of Merrihau, the 25th Governor of Hong Kong.

The Government House of Hong Kong sits on a 24,000-square-meter garden. The main building covers an area of more than 7,000 square meters. It faces south, looking up to Victoria Peak, and to the north is the Central Government Office.

The architectural design of the Government House of Hong Kong blends the essence of Eastern and Western cultures. The building has both the elegant style of neoclassical architecture and the style of tropical architecture.

Accompanied by He Chaoqiong, Li Zhiwen passed through layers of inspection and finally entered the Governor's Mansion.

Li Zhiwen's purpose for bringing He Chaoqiong is very simple. First, it's inappropriate for Li Zhiwen to be a guest. Second, because of He Chaoqiong's identity, she can have a good communication with the Governor's wife. Third, it's Mai Lihao. I have seen He Chaoqiong in the UK, and He Chaoqiong's appearance here will not be very abrupt.

Li Zhiwen and He Chaoqiong went to the meeting room under the leadership of the servants, and saw that Governor Mai Lihao and his wife Deng Lipin were already waiting here.

Seeing Mai Lihao, Li Zhiwen walked a few steps forward and said, "Mr. Mai Lihao, I am glad to see you here."

And Mai Lihao enthusiastically stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I am very glad to see you here. I haven't seen you in London for a long time."

"Indeed!" Li Zhiwen stretched out his hand and shook it, and at the same time said to Deng Liping next to Mai Lihao: "This must be the governor's wife, madam, you are so beautiful!"

"Mr. Li, thank you for your compliment!" Deng Liping said with a smile.

"Mrs. Governor, this is not a compliment. At this moment, this is Miss He Chaoqiong." After Li Zhiwen finished, he introduced He Chaoqiong.

"Miss He, hello!" Deng Liping said.

"Mrs. Governor, hello!" He Chaoqiong also greeted with a sweet smile.

"Okay, dear, you can take Miss He to the garden. Recently, the mallow flowers in the garden are blooming well. Didn't you want to see before, let Miss He accompany you." Mai Lihao said.

"Understood, dear, I will ask the servant to prepare some desserts and tea for you!" Deng Liping said.

Then Deng Liping turned her head and said to He Chaoqiong: "Miss He, do you know if I have this honor?"

"Extremely happy!" He Chaoqiong replied.

When Deng Liping and He Chaoqiong both left the living room, Mai Lihao and Li Zhiwen also sat down and chatted.

"Mr. Li's local business is finished?" Mai Lihao asked.

"Not yet, but the business over there is managed by the Duke of Bedford, so there shouldn't be much problem." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen named the Duke of Bedford's name, just to tell Mai Lihao that there are people in his own center, so don't think of overpowering others.

"It turns out that this is the case. I don't know that Mr. Li and the Duke of Bedford have such a good relationship." McLehau said.

"It's nothing, just plan to cooperate with the Duke of Bedford to buy a team to operate." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen did not say that the relationship with the Duke of Bedford was very close, nor did he say that it was too far away, giving Mai Lihao space to guess, leaving Mai Lihao unpredictable.

"Oh? Which team is Mr. Li going to buy?" Mai Lihao said.

"Arsenal Football Club!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Arsenal, I am a loyal Arsenal fan." Mai Lihao said excitedly.

"Well, I don't know yet, but if Mr. Mai Lihao returns to China in the future, he can come to the Arsenal Football Club to watch football, I will let you reserve a place." Li Zhiwen said.

Although Li Zhiwen knew that McLehose would resign as Governor in 1982, it does not mean that McLehose will retire after he resigns as Governor.

After retiring from his previous life, Merrihau was named a noble for life by the Queen of England and was promoted to the House of Lords.

Therefore, Li Zhiwen thinks it is still very cheap to get a ticket into the relationship between the two.

"Then thank you Mr. Li, but before that I have to pray that Mr. Li can successfully acquire Arsenal Football Club." McLehau said.

"My Excellency the Governor's words!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Mr. Li, talking about acquisitions. Recently, two acquisitions in Hong Kong have been raging. I heard that all of them have something to do with Mr. Li?" said Mai Lihao.

Li Zhiwen's heart was shocked by Mai Lihao's words, and he came to the subject at noon.

Li Zhiwen replied: "It does have something to do with me, the Governor, you know the cause of Wharf. It doesn't happen that I have some shares in Wharf, so Sir Bao found me."

"I bid one hundred Hong Kong dollars to buy the Wharf stock in my hand. I can see the price, so I sold it to Sir Paul. After all, I bought the Wharf stock for appreciation and I am also a businessman."

Mai Lihao believed only half of Li Zhiwen's words, but Mai Lihaohan really couldn't say anything about the Wharf.

"Indeed, the Governor's Office will not interfere more in normal market activities. Please rest assured, Mr. Li, but Mr. Li's acquisition of the Hongkong Electric Group has been reported to me by the Securities Regulatory Commission, so I want to hear about Mr. Li. Explanation." Mai Lihao said.

"Your Excellency, what is there to explain? This is just a normal commercial activity. The Governor's Office will not allow normal commercial activities," said Li Zhiwen.

"Of course, the Governor's Office will never interfere in normal commercial activities, but it's not that the Hong Kong Electric Light Group is very special. It is a public utility and can only maintain its listing status and cannot be privatized. It's not the requirement of the listed company." Mai Lihao said.

"It turns out that the Governor meant this. Actually, I have another idea about the Hong Kong Electric Light Group. Your Lord Governor, you also know that the current development of the Hong Kong Electric Light Group is too bad."

"An electric light company does not focus on electricity, but instead focuses on the real estate industry, which makes me very sad."

"So I plan to delist the Hongkong Electric Group after acquiring it, and then divest the real estate in the hands of the Hongkong Electric Group. After the reorganization, the Hongkong Electric Group will relist as a pure power company. After the listing, the Hongkong Electric Group will reduce the price. Electricity price is the ultimate demand of enterprises." Li Zhiwen said awe-inspiringly.

Hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Mai Lihao was surprised. He didn't expect Li Zhiwen to be such a person. Mai Lihao always thought that Li Zhiwen, like ordinary businessmen, puts interests first.

Mai Lihao thought for a while and said: "Mr. Li's sense of social responsibility has deeply admired me, but what should I do with the real estate after the divestiture and re-establish a company to operate independently?"

Li Zhiwen went on to say: "Your Excellency, let me be honest with you. I have no plans to enter the real estate industry for two years now. I plan to sell the divested real estate to the Jardine Group. This will also be considered as compensation for what I did to the Jardine Group in the Wharf War. Something happened, but the Jardine Group only has priority, and in the end it has to be the right price."

Li Zhiwen's words are true and sincere. It is true that Li Zhiwen would never get involved in real estate before September 1982. Wouldn't it be popular to pick up bankrupt real estate companies after the Sino-British negotiations broke down?

It is also true to want to sell the land to the Jardine Group~www.mtlnovel.com~ If you don't sell it to Jardine, how can you spare the cash flow of Jardine?

What Li Zhiwen threw to the Yihe Group was a piece of honey with honey. The surface was very sweet, but the poison would be exposed over time. A larger dose would not kill Yihe.

As for the low electricity price policy mentioned by Li Zhiwen, it will definitely be implemented. After all, the electricity in Hong Kong is becoming saturated at this time, which suffocates the development of the Hongkong Electric Group.

Li Zhiwen intends to encourage users to use more electricity. The more electricity they use, the lower the electricity price per unit.

Li Zhiwen's words made Mai Lihao breathe a sigh of relief. Li Zhiwen's decision made everyone happy. Li Zhiwen got the Hong Kong Electric Light Group, Jardine International acquired the land, and Mai Lihao himself also got a good name, and he will have his own when the electricity price comes down.

Mai Lihao said: "I believe in your determination to do real things for Hong Kong, so Mr. Li let go and do it. I will support you behind the scenes."

"Thanks to the Governor for your support!" Mai Lihao said.
