Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

As night falls, the wonderful nightlife officially begins. Whether it is a social worker or an exhausted white-collar worker who has gone to work all day, they all come out to relax at this time.

However, the Governor's House, located on Albert Road in the middle of the Central Ring of Hong Kong Island, fell into a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

But inside the Governor's House, there are still some lights on.

The Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. MacLehose, sat face-to-face with the current Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lu Dingtang. MacLehose listened quietly, nodding slightly from time to time, and Lu Dingtang gave a detailed account.

Listening to the name, you will think that Lu Dingtang is Chinese, but in fact he is British. A Chinese name is also used to facilitate work management. After all, most of the whole Xiangjiang is Chinese. A Chinese name can eliminate some distance in many cases. .

Lu Dingtang is the head of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. His English name is Norman John Ludington. He was originally an official member of the Legislative Council. On the 4th of this month, he was just transferred to the Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner. His resume has only been more than 20 days.

Although he has only recently taken office, Lu Dingtang is the true confidant of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

After all, the ICAC has a very special status in the Hong Kong government. It is a weapon in the hands of the Governor. Unlike other departments such as the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary, the ICAC does not need to be appointed by the London side, but is completely appointed by the Governor and belongs directly to Hong Kong. He is only responsible to the Governor of Hong Kong. Nobody in any other organization has the right to interfere with the work of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

What Lu Dingtang reported to MacLehose at this time was nothing but the action of the Jardine Consortium against Jiuding enterprises this morning.

After all, as the government department under the supervision of the Governor of Hong Kong, within one day today, government departments such as the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Department of Justice, and the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission have successively found trouble with Jiuding enterprises. It is the fact that he is helping the Jardine consortium.

Many government departments assisted the Jardine consortium and targeted the new Chinese consortium. This seriously violated the functions of government departments and was suspected of becoming a private service. Lu Dingtang had to take it seriously.

Moreover, the struggle between the Jardine Consortium and the Jiuding Consortium has been raging in Xiangjiang, and the situation is very tense. At this time, many government departments intervened in favor of the Jardine Consortium, and the Jiuding Consortium is a media hegemon who deeply controls the essence of public opinion. If you are not careful, the Hong Kong government will provoke a show, and your reputation will be ruined. As MacLehose's confidant, Lu Dingtang naturally wants to always consider MacLehose.

No, after collecting all the changes in government departments today, Lu Dingtang came to the Governor's House overnight to report to MacLehose and follow his instructions.

After Lu Dingtang finished speaking, he sat quietly and looked at MacLehose, who was lost in thought.

After listening to Lu Dingtang's report, MacLehose remained unchanged, combing his thoughts continuously in his mind.

Although he is the Governor of Hong Kong and has the power to manage the entire government, after all, the top leaders of many important departments are appointed by London, and various departments also have great autonomy. It is not necessary to report everything to him first. action.

Therefore, MacLehose did not know about the changes in so many departments at first, that is, he heard some news in the afternoon. Now after listening to Lu Dingtang’s report, he is very upset and dissatisfied with the actions of these departments. At the same time, he was also very dissatisfied with the actions of the Jardine Consortium.

The Jardine Consortium did not notify him in advance, but went directly over him and let officials in several departments serve them.

Of course, if the Jardine Foundation finds him, MacLehose will not agree to help them trouble Xia Yu.

First of all, he is the Governor of Xiangjiang, and the most important thing is to manage Xiangjiang well. This requires him to maintain a neutral position and not favor the British capital or the Chinese capital.

Otherwise, if he prefers British capital, this will arouse dissatisfaction among Chinese. If Chinese capital is still very weak, like decades ago, don’t worry about it. The problem is that now that Chinese capital has grown up, what can be done? The negative impact is great, which is very detrimental to his governance of Xiangjiang.

Secondly, out of political stance, MacLehose would not help the Jardine consortium. After all, he and the Keswick family, who is in charge of the Jardine consortium, are not all the same.

The party behind the Jardine Foundation is different from the party that MacLehose belongs to. It is completely competitive or even hostile. Although the Hong Kong government needs to rely on them to govern Hong Kong because of the energy of the Jardine Foundation, it is also a business matter. And the governance of Xiangjiang is also inseparable from the powerful Chinese consortium.

Therefore, MacLehose will not take care of how they fight, and it is not convenient to stand in line to intervene.

For a long time, MacLehose said solemnly: "You have just taken over the Independent Commission Against Corruption from Ji Da, and the internal affairs have not been sorted out yet. Speed ​​up."

"As for these departments, you can send someone to supervise them secretly. As long as they don't get too hot, just follow them. If there are signs of bad things, report to me immediately and be ready at any time."

Regarding this kind of strange order, although Lu Dingtang was puzzled, he did not ask more, but nodded in response: "Yes!"

What the various departments do, if other factors are not taken into consideration, seem to be working in the office, so it is indeed inconvenient for MacLehose to intervene until there is no adverse effect.

After all, the power of appointment and dismissal of all major departments is in London, and he is mainly the power of appointment and dismissal and supervision and management.

If this time helping the Jardine consortium secretary is personally done by the heads of various departments, then he can only turn one eye and close one eye, and treat it as not seeing.

If it is a deputy or a small employee in each department, it will be even more inconvenient for him to intervene. Not to mention the downgrade, he also stretches his hand too long, so it is best to deal with it internally by each department.

To put it more bluntly, he, the governor of the house, should be doing the work of wiping his buttocks at this time.

In addition to occasionally mentioning a few words, you need a good reason to intervene in a legitimate way!

"Go, it's late, go back and rest early!"

MacLehose said lightly.

"Okay, your Excellency, you also have to rest early!"

After Lu Dingtang finished speaking, he got up and left.

After Lu Dingtang closed and left, McLehose crossed his fingers and continued to fall into deep thought. For a long time, he muttered to himself: "Jiehe Consortium... Jiuding Consortium... Ha..."

...

"Hey, Mr. Dawson, this is Xia Yu, good evening!"

"...Yes, there is good news. The profit rate of Evergreen No. 1 Fund has now reached 8%... By the way, today a law enforcement team from the Industrial and Commercial Administration came to our company to investigate. Do you know this?"

"...Okay, then trouble you. The normal operation of the fund requires a good environment, which is always disrupted~www.ltnovel.com~prone to problems..."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu smiled slightly, obviously in a good mood.

This is already the fifth person, and they are all high-ranking investors.

Although what Xia Yu said is a little cryptic, those people are all human beings. He immediately knew what Xia Yu meant. If he knew the situation, he told Xia Yu about the situation. If he didn’t know the situation, he patted his chest and said that he would try his best to help Xia Yu solve the trouble. .

Xia Yu believed in their promise. After all, there is a chain of interests connected, and they will definitely be willing to help, as long as they can hold off for a few days.

Of course, if the trouble can be solved directly, that would be great!

"The Keswick family, hehe, you have your Zhang Liangji, I have my wall ladder, not only you have connections..."

With a sneer, Xia Yu continued to call.

Only when you make a call in person can you be more weighty and get things resolved.
