Chapter 284: 284

In this era, apart from the four ex officio members of the commander of the British armed forces in Hong Kong, the chief secretary, the financial secretary and the attorney general, other members of the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government are appointed by the governor of Hong Kong. Therefore, Gao Xian's entry into the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government is a matter of procedure.

The Executive Council of the Hong Kong government holds a regular meeting one day a week, and today is a special temporary meeting for Gao Xian's "admission".

The unofficial councillors represented by well-known social figures in Xiangjiang can be called all big men in Xiangjiang, including Shaya, the big class of Huifeng bank, new Bijian, the big class of Jardine Matheson, and so on; Among the Chinese non official members, Shi Yueqiang, chairman of the board of directors of Youya bank, is the chief Chinese representative.

After the Executive Council meeting officially began, governor MacLehose went straight to the theme and said, "the first topic of today's meeting is that I officially announce the appointment of David Gao, JP as a non official member of the Executive Council of the government."

After the solemn announcement, governor MacLehose applauded first. Others had no chance to interrupt and had no choice but to applaud.

In fact, in this special period of Xiangjiang energy shortage crisis, we do not need to be reminded to understand the intention of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose to exceptionally pull Gao Xian, who is under the age of 30, into the Executive Council.

No matter how different your thoughts are, if you have oil in your hand now, it's uncle. Then this special thing will be done naturally. No one will jump out and be a bar spirit at this time.

In the warm applause, Gao Xian, who always accompanied the last seat in the "old people's Club", stood up and briefly said "thank you for your trust and be dutiful".

After this session, governor MacLehose asked Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi, "what is the situation of international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco?"

Luo Bishi, the deputy chief secretary, replied helplessly, "they have been complaining about the shortage of oil and insisted on raising prices twice, but promised to press back as much time as possible."

Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao snorted, "do they think they have our life gate and can be slaughtered at will?"

Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi silently shrugged his shoulders and turned his eyes to Gao Xian.

As he took the lead, dozens of other people also looked at Gao Xian.

Governor Mai Lihao raised his hand and said, "since everyone has such tacit understanding, please express your views on the current energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang, your excellency Gao Xian, JP."

"You may have heard that I have made some investments in the oil field in recent years. Now it seems that I have been successful."

Speaking of this, Gao Xian paused a little to see if anyone questioned his cards.

As a result, many people could not help showing envy. This phenomenon does not mean that they do not even have the minimum city government, but Gaoxian's investment in the oil industry. It is too modest to describe it only by success. It should be that they have made a lot of money, which has stimulated everyone's mood.

In March this year, Fortune magazine in the United States did not know where to gather the data. It estimated that Bao Yugang, the boat king, was worth seven to one billion dollars, and then became the richest man of Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang.

But if the global oil crisis continues like this, Gao Xian's wealth is likely to catch up.

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Gao Xian continued: "please allow me to take some time to briefly introduce these investments."

"First, the shares of the North Sea oil field; second, the No. 30 oil field on Eugene island in the Gulf of Mexico, where the crude oil extracted will be sent to the refinery in Texas; third, the oil fields and refineries in Brunei."

"I think after listening to this, you will understand that for the Xiangjiang River without crude oil processing capacity, I can directly call the product oil with limited output from Brunei, which is the nearest place, to provide support. It is inevitable that there will be a lot of thirst in the No. 30 oil field on Eugene Island in the Gulf of Mexico."

"Therefore, I suggest that Xiangjiang should look for as many sources of energy supply as possible, such as China."

"I contacted Dongfang Petroleum Company, which has the right to export petroleum products in China, last night. It now has more than 4000 tons of kerosene in stock, which can help alleviate the energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang."

After clarifying the proposal to introduce petroleum products from the mainland, Gao Xian stopped again for everyone present to digest.

This is because importing materials from the mainland is too sensitive to justice. In the 1960s, the Xiangjiang River was in a water shortage. If it were not desperate, it would certainly not accept the water supply from the mainland.

It is not difficult to understand the mystery. Vital resources such as fresh water and refined oil can not be bought simply and stably for a long time if they are willing to give money. Then the Hong Kong government takes people's hands short and eats them soft.

At present, it is not too much to say that Xiangjiang is desperate for energy, so Gao Xian openly put forward his ideas for discussion.

Because the old colonial bureaucrats like Luo Lemin and Lu dingtang, who have conflicts with the administration ideas of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, have basically been transferred from Britain this year, everyone here is very pragmatic.

In addition, these people guessed that Hong Kong Governor MacLehose must have had a private communication with Gao Xian before he pulled Gao Xian into the Executive Council today. Hong Kong Governor MacLehose must have known what Gao Xian said now.

In the final analysis, the final decision of the Executive Council is in the hands of governor MacLehose.

Of course, some people have raised serious questions.

Ma Deng, the big class of huidefeng, the controlling shareholder of China gas, asked, "Your Excellency Gao Xian, what degree are you sure of the protection of kerosene, which is widely used in residents' lives?"

Gao Xian replied confidently, "if you count the kerosene imported from China, the demand for kerosene by the people of Xiangjiang should not be a problem, and the price can be stabilized to about 8 yuan per barrel."

Madden nodded and stopped talking.

At this stage, there is nothing on the market in Xiangjiang that does not rise in price. Although the price of kerosene at 8 yuan per barrel has increased significantly compared with before, as long as it is stable in this range, the people can still bear it, and then social stability can be guaranteed.

Unwilling to fill the bow, so as not to eat the dumb high string, he pulled back his words and said: "for the supply of kerosene, I am confident to ensure to this extent. For the supply of other oil products, including gasoline and diesel, I can only say that I will try my best to resist the unscrupulous acts of fire robbery by international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco, so as to protect the interests of Xiangjiang."

Gao Xian's caution did not cause any fluctuations in the audience.

New Bijian, Jardine Matheson, turned to say, "Duxian, although the Xiangjiang energy shortage crisis has emerged, under your wise leadership, the situation has been greatly improved. Can you relax the light control?"

"After all, we still have to do our best to make Xiangjiang's economy develop forward, and too strict light control will greatly suppress the vitality of the whole society."

Gao Xian couldn't help admiring Niu Bijian for his high sounding words.

The implication of newbijian's words, to put it bluntly, is that even neon lights are not on at night. How can the lights stimulate economic development?

In addition, newbijian's initiative to break through this layer of window paper is also inseparable from the Kangle building, the first skyscraper in Xiangjiang and the tallest building in Asia, which has been officially put into use.

The rental of recreation building is a big business and can not be separated from gathering popularity. However, according to the current severity of lighting control by the Hong Kong government, it is really tied up.

Gao Xian looked around the crowd and noticed that most of them showed a deep expression of sympathy.

Seeing the Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao's thinking, the Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi said: "governor of the constitution, the light control should really be relaxed. Now the adverse impact on economic development has begun to appear."

Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao pondered and asked, "do you have any improvement plans at present?"

Deputy Chief Secretary Luo Bishi replied, "for example, neon lights for advertising and unnecessary lighting, the lighting time at night may be set from 6:00 to 10:30."

Governor McLehose nodded and said, "OK, let's revise the specific contents of light control."

Then governor MacLehose raised another topic, "I think this energy shortage crisis will last for several months. Therefore, it is necessary for Zhengfu to set up a consumption Committee. The first task is to coordinate with Xiangjiang electric light, Zhonghua electric power, Zhonghua gas and international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco to ensure the energy supply of Xiangjiang."

Luo Bishi, the deputy chief secretary who has always supported the work of governor MacLehose, immediately seconded: "it is really necessary to establish this consumption Committee."

When this issue was passed unimpeded, governor Mai Lihao continued to issue an order: "the chairman of the consumption committee is your excellency Shi Yueqiang; the vice chairman of the consumption committee is your excellency Gao Xian. I hope all departments must cooperate with their work."

There is nothing to argue about this personnel appointment. After all, Xiangjiang is a society dominated by Chinese. In the process of ruling, for example, in response to the energy shortage crisis in Xiangjiang, the Hong Kong government has become accustomed to naturally using the local Chinese elites in Xiangjiang to do specific work. As the chief Chinese representative of the Executive Council, Shi Yueqiang is duty bound and has a high string of oil at home Jen won't let it.

After Shi Yueqiang and Gao Xian respectively stated that they "live up to the trust of the governor of the constitution", the Executive Council meeting came to an end.

……

The difference between "official" and "unofficial" members of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong government can be roughly understood as that "official members" are the heads of a specific department in the Hong Kong government, while well-known personages in Hong Kong who serve as "unofficial members" offer advice and suggestions to the governor on weekdays. When special things happen, they will be entrusted with specific important tasks.

Obviously, as the chairman and vice chairman of the newly established consumption Committee, Shi Yueqiang and Gao Xian must sit together for the first time to discuss the next work.

To put it bluntly, no matter whether the Shi family has a grudge against Gao Xian or not, both sides have become grasshoppers on a rope at this time. They must think and make efforts in one place.

Shi Yue pointed directly to the core of the problem and said, "Mr. Gao, after the governor entrusted us with an important task, the pressure and resistance of our actual work can not be ignored. Do you have any specific plans?"

Gao Xian smiled faintly, "no matter how you carry out your work, international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco are hard bones to avoid. Let happy energy chew it. When you get enough extra market share, you will naturally have the right to speak."

Shi Yueqiang raised his eyebrows slightly and said in his heart, this young man is really more and more powerful!

"So, does Mr. Gao need any support from me?" Shi Yueqiang asked again.

Gao Xian pondered: "this is an action to block people's financial resources and seize people's financial resources. The competition is inevitably fierce. Of course, I hope to get Sir Shi's full help. In addition, if Youya bank is willing to provide financial assistance, it would be better!"

"Gao Xian really plays the trick of interest binding!" Shi Yueqiang, who muttered to himself, nodded and agreed, "then I'll let Chunzhi and Mr. Gao talk about the specific matters of the cooperation of Youya bank."

……

Shi Chunzhi, who appeared in front of Gao Xian, actually felt very embarrassed because his boss was reluctant or described it more accurately.

Because when Gao Xian went to London to invest in the oil industry and buy Beihai oilfield stocks, Shi Chunzhi, who laughed at him more than once, not only helped contact the sellers of Beihai oilfield stocks, but also offered Gao Xian a high interest Youya bank loan.

As a result, now, the joy of the success of the plot has become an indescribable complex emotion, including chagrin, loss and so on.

But Shi Chunzhi was afraid of something. Gao Xian held his hand tightly and said enthusiastically, "lawyer Shi, you helped me contact the seller of Beihai oilfield stock last time and helped me get the loan from Youya bank. Thank you very much!"

Shi Chunzhi endured his internal injury and said with a forced smile: "it should be, it should be..."

Gao Xian said confidently, "this competition for the share of Xiangjiang energy market is a rare investment opportunity. I always remember the good of lawyer Shi, so this time I think that we can share the income together."

Shi Chunzhi hardened his head and followed Gao Xian's words: "I am also looking forward to and delighted to cooperate again."

……

In the afternoon, the market competition between happy energy and international oil companies such as shell, Mobil and Texaco in Xiangjiang has naturally escalated.

The reason is very simple. In the face of hoarding opportunities, businessmen must rush forward with tacit understanding.

And happy energy gas stations not only raise prices less frequently, but also have sufficient supply. Obviously, they want to cut off everyone's money!

Therefore, some people with ulterior motives mixed into the normal refueling team to obtain the "low-cost" refined oil of happy energy.

It goes without saying that there is something fishy in it.
