The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 294 Alternation of Generations
Hong Kong is next to the mainland, separated only by a river.If there is any disturbance in the north, it will be affected on the river side.To put it in a very popular sentence, when the north sneezes, Hong Kong will catch a bad cold.

Taizu's influence on the mainland is extremely high, like the pillar of the sky and the magic needle of Dinghai.With him in one day, the people of Hong Kong should run and dance, and there is no need to worry about a large army coming.

But once Taizu Bintian passed away, Hong Kong people began to panic, wondering what the temperament of the newly appointed leader in the north would be, and whether he would swallow the fat in Hong Kong's mouth because of its delicious taste.

Therefore, rumors are flying all over the world. Some say that when they look across the river at the port, they see troops gathering and tanks are already in place; Some people said that they saw a group of planes flying over the New Territories with their own eyes, and it was suspected that they were going to drop paratroopers to occupy Hong Kong...

All these gossips have their noses and eyes, and there are people in time, place, and people.

The so-called three people become a tiger, if there are too many people who say false news, people will naturally believe it.Hong Kong has just passed a short wave of immigration, and a new wave has emerged immediately.

Even Zhao Yazhi was terrified after hearing these rumors, so she wanted to pack her luggage and go to the United States with Xu Guanwu to escape.

"Don't worry about it, how can it be so dangerous?" Xu Guanwu saw her face turned pale with fright, and quickly comforted her, "Don't say that she won't march, even if the troops really come to Hong Kong, depending on your husband's relationship with the mainland , how could there be any danger?"

"Oh, it's hard to say that there's a lot of war and chaos. When Hong Kong is occupied, you, as a capitalist, will be imprisoned and all your property will be confiscated." Zhao Yazhi said exaggeratedly, gesticulating with her hands.

"Who are you listening to spread rumors? This kind of person is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so he knows how to tell lies, and he will go to hell after he dies." Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing after hearing this, "You don't have to worry so much, I know they are I won’t come, don’t you believe my eyes?”

"Oh, what if you don't see it right this time? When the time comes, there will be chaos, and there will be no eyes for swords and guns." Zhao Yazhi said worriedly again.

"No, no, just rest assured." Xu Guanwu comforted, "If you are really worried, how about going to the United States for a while by yourself? I will ask Richard and the others to take care of it." you."

"No, even if I die, I will be with you." Zhao Yazhi shook Xu Guanwu's hand again.

"En." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the mainland will not be so short-sighted. There is neither a legitimate reason nor a need to annex Hong Kong now."

Seeing that Xu Guanwu was so confident, Zhao Yazhi could only nod her head.

But Xu Guanwu didn't underestimate this matter, even Zhao Yazhi was scared like this, other ordinary Hong Kong citizens were more worried.

Sure enough, the Hong Kong market is very unstable now. There are those who have hurriedly sold their properties to immigrate, some went to the grocery store to buy vegetables, rice noodles, and some took advantage of the chaos to disturb the law and order... All kinds of people, good and bad, jumping up and down, making Hong Kong like a dangerous city generally.

This is of course maliciously spreading fake news, but also because the voice of positive energy is not clear, which makes rumors fly all over the sky.

Xu Guanwu knows that if these rumors are allowed to spread, although the truth will be exposed sooner or later, it will also bring huge economic losses to Hong Kong, which is an unbearable burden for Hong Kong citizens.

So he quickly contacted the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, then contacted Manager Shen Bi of HSBC Bank, Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and other big and small Hong Kong figures to come out to refute the rumors.

This initiative immediately got everyone's echo, so I saw so many smart people, celebrities, gentlemen, and wealthy businessmen come out to give speeches together, to reassure the general public, stabilize the Hong Kong stock market, and let the rumors be self-defeating.

In fact, everyone had already reached a consensus before Xu Guanwu's proposal. If Hong Kong becomes chaotic, it will not be good for anyone.Of course, for the bald people on the other side, it would be better if Hong Kong is more chaotic.It's just that there is a lack of a liaison and mediator role in the middle. It happened that Xu Guanwu took advantage of the situation to stand up, and he not only had a friendly relationship with the mainland, but also had a deep personal relationship with Manager Shen Bi, and also had a relationship with the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.In addition, he has newspapers and TV stations in his hands. Compared with other people, he has more right to speak in Hong Kong.

So many heavyweights stood up together to refute the rumors, finally reassuring Hong Kong citizens, the market gradually calmed down, and the stock market and housing prices gradually returned to their previous appearances.Xu Guanwu's newspapers and TV stations have contributed greatly to achieving such an effect of calming the people, and he stood up at the critical moment to turn the tide and won a lot of praise from all parties in Hong Kong, giving him a very high status in Hong Kong's high society. big boost.

……

After the Hong Kong market returned to calm, the sad atmosphere that had been overshadowed by panic before slowly spread.

Taizu still has a lot of crowds in Hong Kong, and even has a huge influence all over the world, so his memorial service is also extremely grand.Bank of China Hong Kong Branch once again became a sea of ​​wreaths, with thick piles piled up on three floors inside and three floors outside, including a huge wreath presented by Xu Guanwu.

……

The death of Taizu had a profound impact not only in the Mainland, but also in Hong Kong, and even in the whole world.Sorrow pervaded Hong Kong for more than a month.

Xu's Brilliant Cinemas and Fine Arts Cinemas also did not show comedy kung fu movies for a month in a row, but bought ethical tragedy movies from Taiwan, which made Hong Kong citizens cry heartily.

At the end of September, Shen Bi officially took over as the chairman of HSBC, becoming a figure who can sit on an equal footing with the Governor of Hong Kong.At the banquet held on the day he took over, Xu Guanwu was also invited.

Seeing Shen Bi on the stage receiving the seal symbolizing the power of HSBC, Xu Guanwu knew that the era of Chinese businessmen had come.In the future, British capital will gradually withdraw from Hong Kong, while Chinese businessmen will gradually replace British capital and become the leader of Hong Kong's economy.

After the succession ceremony, HSBC held a grand banquet.At the banquet, Shen Bi, who had just taken over the financial power of HSBC Bank, undoubtedly became the focus of compliments from everyone.

The heads of Hong Kong's high society, the heroes who are galloping around, are indeed behaving like pugs wagging their tails at this banquet, and they are proud to have a word with Chairman Shen Bi.The look was simply disgusting.

Xu Guanwu didn't want to join in the fun, he hid in a corner with his wife Zhao Yazhi, and concentrated on tasting the exquisite food.

HSBC is not short of money, so the food at the banquet is carefully prepared.Russian caviar, Italian wine, French foie gras, British truffles, German ham, Japanese oysters...

These expensive foods, which usually cost thousands of Hong Kong dollars a serving in western food restaurants, are now placed there for you to get whatever you want, as if you don’t need money.

However, most people do not come here to be greedy for food, so not many people really enjoy the exquisite food there.

In line with the mentality that the benefits must not be wasted, Xu Guanwu took a big dinner plate, filled it full, and then took it to the corner to share with his wife.

"Ah Wu, it's too rude of you to do this, as if you haven't eaten good food in a few lifetimes." Seeing that the big plate he was carrying weighed several catties, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but teased.

"They don't eat anyway, so they don't want to throw it away in the end. Waste is a shameful original sin, so we must not waste it. We should eat and drink." Xu Guanwu said and put down the plate, "Look, I choose They are all good things. Australian lobster, French snails, British truffles..."

"That's right, HSBC is really willing to spend money. It will cost millions to hold this dinner." Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but admire.

"Yeah, anyway, they are printing Hong Kong dollars, and they are not short of money. You can print as much as you spend." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Hey, try it quickly, this lobster tastes really fresh!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Even if it has the power to print money, it can't just print it randomly." Zhao Yazhi said with a smile, and then ate a piece of lobster meat.

……

The two hid in the corner and ate as if no one was there, and even picked up expensive food. After a while, Xu Guanwu wiped his greasy mouth with a wet towel and sighed, "Oh, what a pity. Ah, I can only eat so much, and I will vomit it out of my throat if I eat any more."

"Don't be so disgusting, can you?" Zhao Yazhi thumped him, and said angrily, "You are also a well-known rich man in Hong Kong. You should pay attention to etiquette in this kind of occasion."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not the protagonist of the banquet. I'm just passing by to make soy sauce." Xu Guanwu said with a grin, "It would be great if the company's martial artists were here, and those big-bellied men could eat all of these foods in one sitting." Lose."

"If they really came over, they would even chew the dinner plate." Zhao Yazhi smiled and said, "By the way, what did you mean when you said soy sauce?"

"It's nothing, just talking nonsense." Xu Guanwu smiled quickly.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Shen Bi wants to meet with you after the banquet." At this moment, a staff member of HSBC came over, bent down and whispered.

After Xu Guanwu heard this, he couldn't help but look suspiciously at Shen Bi in the distance, and saw that he was also looking at him.Seeing Xu Guanwu's gaze cast over, he couldn't help smiling and nodded slightly.

"Okay, tell him I know." Xu Guanwu nodded.

"Ah Wu, what did Shen Bi want you for?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

"Probably there is something you want to discuss with me." Xu Guanwu smiled slightly.

"He is the boss of HSBC Bank, and you are the owner of the entertainment company. What can he discuss with you?" Zhao Yazhi asked puzzled.

"Aside from being the owner of an entertainment company, your husband is also a legendary investment genius." Xu Guanwu said with a grin, "Probably he intends to learn from me."

Zhao Yazhi nodded dubiously when she heard this.

……

After the banquet, Xu Guanwu sent Zhao Yazhi home first, and then came to Shen Bi's office alone.

After being promoted to chairman, Shen Bi moved to the office on the top floor of HSBC Bank. From here, he could have a bird's-eye view of the entire Victoria Harbour, as if he had all the skyscrapers in Central in his hands.

The decoration of this office is said to be personally designed by the top Feng Shui master in Hong Kong, which guarantees that the wealth of the whole of Hong Kong will be gathered, so that those who work here will enjoy the prosperity and wealth, and will be free from illness and disaster throughout their lives.Of course, these are just legends. Xu Guanwu doesn't believe in such ghosts and monsters.

However, Xu Guanwu was a little shocked when he entered this office for the first time.

This office is very large, more than several hundred square meters, and there is a giant statue of a nine-dragon coiled in the center. Water is sprayed from the mouth of the top dragon, and then flows all over the statue along the bodies of other dragons. Extremely ingenious.

What shocked Xu Guanwu the most was that this sculpture was made of pure gold, and the dragon body was inlaid with precious gems such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, agates, etc., but this statue is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
