Chapter 329 The Angry Class
“Nonsense!”

Mr. Shen from HSBC slammed the table hard.

“The tycoon is the richest man in Hong Kong. How dare they arrest him?”

The rich man’s eldest son said quickly:

“Sir, please save my father.”

It is difficult for local people in Hong Kong to obtain the title of knight, but for some people, it is not difficult at all.

Almost all the old-line central bank bosses are knights. By the way, the rich are also knights.

Mr. Shen said solemnly:

“That’s natural. I’m good friends with your father, so I’ll save him naturally.”

However, seeing the little rich man’s appearance, Shen Daban couldn’t help but get angry.
“After all, you’ve been masturbated by Zhuo Ziqiang once, so you’ve experienced life and death, and you should be mature now.”

“Why did you come to me two days after your father was taken away?”

“If your father doesn’t come back, you will bear the main responsibility.”

The little rich man’s face turned pale and blue, and he gritted his teeth and said:

“Does anyone know about my affairs?”

Mr. Shen became even more angry:

“Does anyone know how I know this?”

“But I knew about your affairs first.”

“Zhuo Ziqiang demanded a ransom of 1.4 billion, and all of it must be in old banknotes. Do you think your group can collect enough old banknotes in just one day?”

“Isn’t it me who’s doing the work?”

“But look at you, you haven’t even considered such a thing!”

Mr. Shen became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he left in a huff. He had to go to the Governor’s Mansion to lobby for help in saving the tycoon.

The little rich man kept all his words to himself.

He was deeply hurt by Mr. Shen’s attitude.

He is feeling very aggrieved. Doesn’t that mean he doesn’t want to save the tycoon?
He thinks too!

But the problem is that the rich man was captured by George from the police’s political department, and none of the people the small rich man contacted could see the rich man himself.

Not to mention meeting him, is it possible for anyone to enter the garrison base?
Business veterans, top lawyers, none of them are useful!
The young rich man was at a loss, and then he thought of Mr. Shen.

He had originally planned to talk this matter over with Mr. Shen, but before he could explain, Mr. Shen started to scold him.

“Hey!”

“Let him scold me, as long as I rescue my father, a few scoldings won’t matter. I will prepare a generous gift to thank him later!”

The little rich man made such an awakening.

Mr. Shen kept shaking his head in the car.

The rich man was truly a hero in his life, but he ended up having such a timid son.

The rich man’s second son is a bit more enterprising.

It’s a pity that in Hong Kong, people have always attached great importance to the order of seniority. No matter how talented the second child in their family is, it is impossible for him to take over the business of a wealthy man.

Fortunately, people in the business world can retire whenever they want, as long as their health allows. Even if you retire at the age of 80, no one will bother you.

If the eldest son is not capable, we can place our hopes on our eldest grandson.

After staying in Hong Kong for a long time, Mr. Shen was inevitably assimilated to some extent.

It can be considered a combination of Chinese and Western cultures.

Mr. Shen will not go to the Thirteenth Bureau of the Third Division, as that would be too cheap.

He went straight to the Governor’s Mansion.

Mr. Shen is not an ordinary person. He can chat and laugh with the current Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, and can also have direct access to the emperor’s ears. So he would not pay any attention to the three departments and thirteen bureaus at all.

His goal is to meet the Governor.

The Du Ye was very happy to give Mr. Shen a hug:
“My friend, long time no see.”

Mr. Shen looked very serious:
“Master, Hong Kong is from Angsa, right?”

The Governor was slightly startled, smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“It’s a shame that we only have less than ten years left to own it.”

Mr. Shen then said:

“Hong Kong is the Pearl of the Orient, providing our empire with unimaginable profits every year.”

“Even if we cannot have sovereignty over it, we must ensure that we have the right to govern it.”

The Governor shook his head:

“It’s a shame that we can’t even protect his right to govern.”

Of course, Mr. Shen knew about this.

“We must ensure that after Hong Kong returns to China, it will continue to be loyal to us.”

The Governor was startled:
“what do you mean?”

Mr. Shen said calmly:

“We need to cultivate the goodwill of the Hong Kong people of these generations towards us.”

“We want to place our own people in all walks of life.”

“The most important thing is to place a large number of our people in Hong Kong and the political circles, our own people.”

The Governor quite agrees:

“That’s a good idea, but it’s not easy.”

Mr. Shen waved his hand:

“Of course it’s not easy, but it doesn’t matter. As long as we are willing to do it, we will succeed.”

“Do you approve?”

The Governor nodded as a matter of course:
“I certainly agree.”

“Is there anyone who can be selected for the big class?”

Mr. Shen said proudly:

“I’ve been planning this for a long time.”

“I have been training a few people since the 60s…”

The Governor took a breath of cold air:
“Since the 60s?”

Mr. Shen disagrees:
“After the crisis in the 60s, the Anglo-Saxon elites unanimously concluded that Hong Kong could not be defended and there was a high probability that we would lose it.”

“So some foreign companies started to flee Hong Kong.”

“That’s how the stock market crash of the 60s came about.”

“Of course, some foreign companies did not flee and stayed in Hong Kong out of a chance of luck.”

“But after Mrs Thatcher’s negotiations, that fantasy was shattered.”

“So it triggered another round of stock market crash, which was not caused by any economic crisis, but was purely caused by the escape of our Angsa capital.”

The Governor asked:

“Will your bank leave?”

Mr. Shen shook his head:

“will not!”

The Governor lost his voice and said:
“Not even after Hong Kong’s return?”

Mr. Shen said firmly:

“will not!”

The Governor frowned and said:
“Hong Kong’s economy is developing so well because of the good governance of our Angsa. If it were our hometown, Hong Kong would definitely be ruined…”

Mr. Shen was speechless:

“Master Governor, there are no outsiders here, so don’t bring out those lies to fool others.”

The governor was speechless. He thought that Mr. Shen was not being tactful at all.

“Hong Kong was able to develop purely because it is a free port.”

“Whether a free port has a future depends on one thing: whether the society is stable.”

“You and I both know that Hong Kong is close to our hometown. Even if we leave Angsa, this will not change.”

“Hong Kong will never decline. No one can resist money.”

The Governor was even more speechless.

Can this guy chat?
You’ve been talking to death all day long. There’s no fun in bragging at all.

In your current state, you can only give advice to important people from the audience. If you really go on stage, everyone will be offended by you.

The governor secretly complained in his heart.

Mr. Shen didn’t pay any attention to the governor’s condition at all.

“If we want Hong Kong to still care about us after the handover, the most important thing is to form a cluster effect.”

“Someone has to step up as a leader.”

“Only in this way can the leading sheep effect be brought into play.”

Mr. Shen said solemnly,

“Ordinary citizens are ignorant, so they naturally believe whatever the big shots say.”

The Governor nodded repeatedly:

“You are right. Then, who is your favorite person?”

Mr. Shen said without hesitation:

“Big Rich Man!”

The Governor was surprised:
“What’s the reason?”

Mr. Shen waved his hand:
“I have personally verified the loyalty of the rich man to the empire.”

“He has a letter of surrender.”

The Governor felt ridiculous:

“Even God can’t grasp the human heart, how can you verify it yourself?”

Mr. Shen said quietly:
“If I don’t verify it for him personally, do you think I would give Hutchison to him almost for free?”

The Governor joked:
“Your thing is not free, you are giving it away!”

To others, Mr. Shen’s actions were no different from giving away money.

Not only did they give Hutchison away for free, they also loaned him 300 million yuan interest-free so that the tycoon would have the capital to operate his business.

Of course, capitalists will not do charity, and these loans and the like have definitely been recovered.

After all, the tycoon is now a tycoon.

His net worth has already inflated beyond belief.

There was a gleam of light in Mr. Shen’s eyes, and a flash of contempt passed by, but the governor did not catch it:
“The rich have a place in the strategy of the empire.”

“He is our man in our pocket, and the key to our continued influence over Hong Kong seven or eight years later.”

“Nothing can happen to him.”

“But I just got the news that the rich man was actually invited in by the authorities.”

“This is wrong.”

At this moment, the Governor had already understood that Mr. Shen had gone through so much trouble and was waiting for him here.

“Big Boss, please calm down.”

“Arresting the wealthy is in compliance with Imperial law.”

Mr. Shen’s voice rose eight degrees: “Arrest?!”

“How could he, a decent businessman, be arrested?!”

“How will this make other people in Hong Kong’s business community view our empire?”

“Master Governor, you can’t be confused!”

The governor’s expression became cold:

“Boss, you are the elite of the empire and a well-known leader in Hong Kong’s business community. I like that you can be careful with your words and actions.”

“The arrest of the tycoon is an official decision made by the Governor’s Office in accordance with Hong Kong law. No one is allowed to question it.”

Mr. Shen was furious:
“You’ll push the rich back home if you do this!”

The governor picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly:

“If a person can be pushed to the enemy side by just a little grievance, then his loyalty is questionable.”

Mr. Shen was furious:
“You arrested people for no reason. Is this just a random grievance?”

“If that’s the case, I’m going to make a suggestion to the local community!”

The Governor put down his teacup and said with a smile:

“As soon as the big class came in, they gave me a lecture, preached great principles, and asked me to become a wealthy man.”

“But… why didn’t you ask why the rich man was arrested?”

“Why don’t you ask why the rich man was arrested?”

“Why don’t you ask where the rich man is being held?”

“You seem to have only brought your mouth, but not your ears at all?”

Mr. Shen was stunned.

He was stunned by the governor’s tone.

Since when did he, an imperial elite with direct access to the emperor’s ears, be questioned like this?
Is this still the Governor he remembered?

The Governor said coldly:

“You seem to be talking to yourself all the time, and you haven’t listened to a word I say.”

“If you keep this attitude, then go to your home country and file a complaint.”

“Let’s see, will the locals listen to you or me?”

Mr. Shen was so angry that he subconsciously stood up and was about to leave.

Suddenly, an idea came to me.

“wrong!”

“There’s something wrong here!”

The politicians of the empire are basically born in the year of the dog. When did they dare to say such things in front of a big capitalist (self-proclaimed) like themselves?
The Western world is ruled by the rich, and those politicians are just their vassals.

They never dare to say anything tough to the big capitalists.

What’s going on now?
Mr. Shen said patiently:

“Master Governor, what’s going on?”

The governor was very satisfied with Mr. Shen’s attitude. Although he was still unruly and arrogant as before, he was much softer than before.

This gave the Governor a sense of accomplishment.

“Grand Duke Andre was attacked twice. You should know about this, right?”

Mr. Shen was puzzled:

“But what does this have to do with the rich?”

The Governor shrugged.

“Grand Duke Andrei went out at the invitation of a wealthy man. For this purpose, he even deliberately avoided his own bodyguards.”

“This kind of thing should be top secret.”

“Whether it’s Archduke Andre or the wealthy man, it’s all top secret.”

“Unfortunately, Archduke Andre was attacked twice, and each time he suffered a concussion.”

“The most dangerous was the second time, because Archduke Andrew brought a bodyguard with him, and that bodyguard was killed.”

“God knows how desperate Archduke Andrei will be when he wakes up to see a dead man.”

Mr. Shen was awed:
“You mean… this was done by a wealthy man?”

The Governor said with a smile:
“if not?”

“Could it be that Archduke Andrei used some kind of self-torture tactic to kill himself?”

“Do not be silly!”

“General Cunningham has already questioned both parties. Grand Duke Andre told him that the tycoon wanted to discuss an important project with him. The other party wanted him to lobby an extremely authoritative department.”

“To this end, the tycoon purchased bearer bonds worth more than 50 million pounds.”

“You should know that too.”

The governor looked at Mr. Shen with a half-smile.
“Those bonds were purchased from your bank.”

“George has mobilized surveillance.”

“unambiguous evidence.”

Mr. Shen said calmly:

“This is a common practice in the Western world.”

“I don’t think there’s a problem.”

The Governor said seriously:
“It’s not a problem to hire someone to lobby. Although 50 million pounds is a lot of money, it’s just that in front of other levels.”

“The problem is that Archduke Andre was attacked and even killed.”

Mr. Shen raised the question:

“This is not the style of the super-rich.”

“He’s always been kind to people.”

The governor was amused by Mr. Shen’s words:
“Big Boss, I treat you as my friend, don’t joke with me.”

“Big capitalists like the rich are always kind to others?”

“So how did he accumulate his wealth?”

The Governor’s smile was indescribably sarcastic.

“I treat you as my friend, so I’m giving you some advice from a friend’s perspective.”

“The case of the rich man is very complicated. Almost all the nobles in the empire are implicated.”

“Do you want to compete with them?”

Mr. Shen said angrily:

“You’re talking nonsense. Are you kidding me?”

The governor’s expression turned grim:

“It’s clear that trying to communicate with you is no longer possible.”

“Forget it, let me tell you the local punishment decision for the case of the rich man.”

“This case has been handed over to Chief Superintendent George of the Police Special Branch and General Cunningham of the garrison. Other agencies in Hong Kong can only cooperate with the investigation.”

“No one else, no matter who they are, has the right to interfere.”

“All officials from the three departments and thirteen bureaus must cooperate with them.”

Mr. Shen looked at the Governor in horror:
“This is against the rules!”

The Governor snorted coldly:
“Rules? They serve us.”

“I already told you.”

“This matter has alarmed the cabinet. Nate has been granted full authority!”

“It’s not something you can interfere with.”

“If you want to intervene, you will have to face the collective wrath of the twenty-nine archdukes.”

Mr. Shen was puzzled:

“How could this be?”

The Governor sighed and whispered:

“Grand Duke Andrei and the rich man have been detained in the military camp for the past two days.”

“Fifty million pounds of bearer bonds is an astronomical figure.”

“However, when George was investigating the case, an explosion occurred in the military camp.”

Mr. Shen’s glasses almost fell off:

“The explosion happened in a military camp? Are you talking nonsense?”

“But if that’s the case, then this isn’t something a rich man would do.”

The Governor actually agreed:

“You are right. This explosion was not done by a wealthy man.”

“The problem is that the people involved in this explosion are too powerful, causing a considerable number of local nobles to fall into panic.”

“They were shocked and angry, and they urgently needed to find a target to vent their anger on.”

“So the rich became the victim!”

Mr. Shen found it quite absurd:
“If there is a suspect, just find him. Why vent your anger on an innocent rich man?”

The Governor hesitated for a moment and sighed:
“The masters of Fog City dare not fire at the real murderer…”

“You pick the weak ones and squeeze the weak ones.”

“Comparatively, the wealthy are the easy ones to control.”

“To be honest, not only the wealthy, but even Grand Duke Andrei is hated by the nobles in the foggy city.”

Everyone in Mr. Shen’s office was numb:

“Even Archduke Andrei is hated?”

“why?”

“Because the bombing revealed some kind of danger?”

The Governor actually nodded in acknowledgement!
Mr. Shen thought to himself that this was indeed a common problem among those noble lords.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, an ostrich mentality…

He couldn’t complain anymore.

However, he still wanted to struggle:
“Then can you tell me who is involved in this case?”

“Why do those big shots get so scared?”

The governor pondered for a while and finally decided to speak it out. He actually stood up, looked around, and closed the door on his own initiative.

Mr. Shen was frightened by the governor’s style.

However, the governor had not finished yet. He came in front of Mr. Shen and actually whispered in his ear.

Boss Shen was a little dazed.

In confusion, he suddenly heard a word that made him want to run away immediately: “Zion”!
Boom.

Mr. Shen was struck by lightning!
The Governor sighed:

“I know the rich man is innocent, and so do the nobles in the Fog City.”

“It’s just bad luck on his part.”

“The nobles’ fear needs to be vented, and the rich man is the unlucky one.”

“You can’t save him.”
