Chapter 752 Is it an alarmist?
In fact, Zhao Hong misunderstood, saying that the price of jade is not high, it is relative to the low-end, and the high-end is always very expensive. Compared with the money 50 million will be worth twenty years later, according to the actual purchasing power, it will be hundreds of millions.
The price is really not low.
After more than 100 items were auctioned, the funds raised were more than 100 million more than last year, reaching more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. This amount can be said to be able to do a lot of things.
Zhao Hong knew that many charities would flock to the charity whenever they heard about such a donation, and it was self-evident why.
The following cocktail party was much more relaxed, with everyone eating and drinking together.
Let’s talk business when it’s time to talk business.
Meet people who want to meet people.
This is the original intention of everyone coming to the charity banquet.
"Hongzi, your company's development has become more and more stable in the past few years. All aspects are carried out in an orderly manner, which makes us old guys really envious. Especially I heard that you have made a lot of money with Lao Maozi."
…”
"Yeah, who would have thought that shipping companies can be used in this way. When it comes to smuggling, I think you have done something unprecedented and unprecedented."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Those big guys are giving away food for free. I really don't understand."
"Haha, there is no country without generals, and monsters are running rampant. I don't think they can survive."
…
During this time, while everyone was paying attention to the Japanese market, they were also paying a lot of attention to Lao Maozi's situation, mainly because they learned from reports that DreamWorks was making huge profits from it.
There is a feeling that if I can do it, I can do it.
It's just that it's too late now.
Several of the major shipping families have now come to an end one after another, following in the footsteps of DreamWorks and sucking the blood of Lao Maozi, a sick bear.
Several families responded with a wave of blood.
Originally, they had been slowly recovering in recent years relying on DreamWorks, but since DreamWorks set up their own shipping company, they were able to receive less and less business.
With no other choice, the number of ships is also decreasing.
But the emergence of Lao Maozi's road made them desperately try to save money.
The advantage of this is that factories in the mainland are developing rapidly. In order to obtain cheap products, several companies have directly taken advantage of the population of the mainland to open many factories, or they have cooperated with many factories in the mainland.
Many gadgets with excess production capacity are shipped directly to the north, where they make a huge profit from the price difference.
In just over half a year, their family's debt has been reduced by half.
It can be said that this transaction directly helped them!
"I didn't expect that this kind of operation could be possible. In such a big environment, there is still such a desperate place to survive."
Tycoon Bao was also very impressed. He went ashore early. Although he also had a shipping company, it was small and pitiful. At present, he was just stuck in front of him, watching other people drinking soup among them.
Haha, the sky is the limit. Fortunately, Mr. Hong pointed out such a way out for us. Now our company has dozens of ships operating at full capacity, but we all feel that we are short of manpower."
Ship King Zhao said very happily.
When he said this, he also had great admiration for Zhao Hong.
In fact, they didn't understand the inside story at first, but at a banquet, Zhao Hong told him.
So he was very grateful to Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong saw that everyone was interested in this aspect, so she reminded: "This thing is a short-term business. I think it won't be long before this good thing happens, so we have to make follow-up plans.
Several members of the Ship King family nodded to express their understanding, but when he saw one or two who looked a little unconcerned, he was too lazy to say anything more.
Some words can be said as soon as they are brought to you, and whether you can listen to them or not can be said later.
After the banquet, Zhao Hong was originally going to take Ya Zhi and He Chaoqiong to a private room to chat, but was interrupted by the invitation of the Hong Kong Governor.
He could only give He Chaoqiong an expression that meant we would talk later, and she waved her hand to express understanding.
Zhao Hong and the Hong Kong Governor came to an elegant private room. After watching tea, they chatted.
"Zhao Sheng, I really envy you, a free-spirited person. Your DreamWorks is really a giant now. Even the Queen has heard of your name."
"Haha, Mr. Wei, that's too much praise. You are now in charge of a people and have great power. This is what a man should do. As for our company, it is just a small business and is not worthy of the queen's attention."
"What is a man supposed to do? You don't know my suffering. Now I am a doormat. You don't know that the local government has given me a lot of policy guidelines, many of which are just love affairs. I have to be pressured to do this."
After a lot of trying, I am almost no longer a human being inside and out, and it seems that my re-election is in vain."
"Ah, Mr. Wei, you have done a good job in the past few years. Many major projects in Xiangjiang have been completed by your hands. You have gathered the huge achievements of the previous two terms. Can't you be re-elected?"
"Haha, this may be a good thing for the people of Xiangjiang, but it may not be good for some people."
…
The Governor of Hong Kong complained to Zhao Hong as soon as he came up, and he responded casually without saying anything.
This made Governor Wei feel like he had nowhere to say anything.
At the last moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Sheng, I want to be re-elected. I wonder if you can help me?"
Zhao Hong was silent for a while after hearing this and said: "Mr. Wei, I don't know how to help you. You also know that I don't have many connections in your hometown, so the support I can provide is limited!"
"I know that. I want you to connect with other Chinese businessmen to get their support, while I'm looking for support from British businessmen. It's best to form a company and submit a letter or something."
Finally, Governor Wei gritted his teeth and said.
Zhao Hong was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the old man suspiciously, did he want to be so fierce?
Why is Wanminshu being rectified?
It seems that this old boy has no hope of being re-elected.
Zhao Hong did not dare to agree to this matter casually. If he did this, he would be roasting himself on the fire. Once the old boy was unable to be re-elected, the consequences would not be something he could bear.
At that time, they may be severely suppressed by the new Hong Kong governor.
Therefore, under the direct gaze of the Governor of Hong Kong, he remained silent.
"Zhao Sheng, let me tell you the truth! If I leave office, the next term will not be so easy to talk to. It will be an inevitable constraint for your Dream Factory, and it will also be a big blow to the development of Xiangjiang."
"I've been here for a few years. I really don't want this place to get bad. If you want to help, just say something nice. If not, I'll admit it and leave in despair after a few months.
alright."
When the Governor of Hong Kong saw Zhao Hong's silence, he added fire.
Zhao Hong saw the old boy's anxious look and knew that he was very anxious.
Therefore, Zhao Hong was not in a hurry.
He said: "Mr. Wei, I can only lobby for this matter. As for whether it can be done, I have no idea. As for what you said about taking the lead, forget it. My little arms and legs can't bear this.
A lot of pressure.”
"I just want to live my own life quietly, and I won't think too much about anything else."
Governor Wei was overjoyed when he heard this, feeling that he had accomplished half of the task this time.
In fact, he didn't want Zhao Hong to help him desperately, mainly because he didn't have such a great personality charm.
"Okay, I'll leave first. Oh, let me tell you something. In fact, they asked me to suppress your currently rapidly developing Tianshuiwei Satellite City, but I refused."
After he finished speaking, he left directly.
Zhao Hong was stunned when he saw the leaving figure of the Hong Kong Governor.
He was thinking about what the Governor of Hong Kong said when he left just now. It was really embarrassing. Sometimes if you don't provoke people, they will let you go!
In the Tianshuiwei Satellite City, their Dream Factory spent countless efforts. If it was destroyed wantonly, it would be a waste of his efforts, which he would never allow.
In fact, what he wants now is for Xiangjiang to develop steadily and steadily. It is best to have smooth sailing until 1997, when everything will be fine.
But now someone wants to come out to cause trouble, which is really an uncomfortable thing.
Soon after the Hong Kong Governor left, Yazhi brought He Chaoqiong to the private room.
He also supported He Chaoqiong's desire to start a jewelry company.
Through negotiation, DreamWorks spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars to take 40% of the shares. They would provide certain channels when necessary, and also provide a little supply of goods.
Although Zhao Hong wants to set up her own jewelry company, she is not in a rush and doesn't care about others joining the business.
The resources that their company currently has at its disposal are truly unmatched by others.
There are more than ten warehouses for various diamonds, jade rough stones, and finished ornaments. These are the foundation for the future development of the company.
After hastily finishing He Chaoqiong's affairs, Zhao Hong and Yazhi rushed home.
"Why do you look so bad? What happened?" Yazhi felt that something was wrong with Zhao Hong's face, so she asked softly.
"Haha, nothing happened. I was distracted by my thoughts just now."
Zhao Hong came back to her senses after hearing Yazhi's inquiry, waved her hand and said.
He suddenly figured out that it didn't matter even if there was a change of office, even the Governor of Hong Kong couldn't do whatever he wanted.
Besides, he has achieved great things now and cannot be defeated by stumbling blocks. The final result may disappoint them.
Things like this in Tin Shui Wai really don't involve too many interests.
Anyone who tries to mess with this will definitely be beaten to a bloody head.
It is not only the local businessmen of Xiangjiang who have huge assets here, but also many foreign capitals have settled here one after another, and most multinational companies have set up branches here.
But it is still possible to help the Governor of Hong Kong. As for how much it will be done, it remains to be determined.
It's the best if you can do it, and it doesn't matter if you can't.
But you should always keep yourself clean.
When he got home, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. Seeing that everyone was very tired, Zhao Hong didn't talk about it anymore and just went to bed.
Of course, some ups and downs are inevitable.
