The pattern of the meeting between Sir Gao and Hong Kong Governor Youde must not always revolve around the half dead Jardine. The big topic of Xiangjiang economy is the real concern of Gao Xian, and Hong Kong Governor Youde must also do his duty.
In fact, despite the fact that the Hong Kong government has decided to increase taxes because of the fiscal deficit, the effect of any measure will take time to show. According to the current situation, the Hong Kong government will have a fiscal deficit next year, which should not be lower than the current level of $3 billion.
There is no doubt that the tight financial situation of the Hong Kong government is a reflection of the current economic downturn in Xiangjiang. At this time, it is an idiot not to pay attention to the value of the huge market in the north.
Last year, that is, 1982, the import and export trade, as an important part of Xiangjiang's economy, exceeded 330 billion Hong Kong dollars, of which imports from the mainland accounted for 25% and re exports from the mainland exceeded 21%.
According to Gao Yi's research, if nothing unexpected happens, the import and export trade of Xiangjiang economy should increase by one quarter this year. Among them, the re export of the mainland has increased significantly, and the proportion has increased from one fifth to one third. Together with the import of the mainland, it has become the first import and re export of Xiangjiang respectively, and then the mainland has replaced the United States, The time to become the largest trading partner of Xiangjiang is just the next two or three years.
The premise of this "if" includes that Xiangjiang's status as an international financial center does not fall down, especially in the current special Zhengzhi climate, the Hong Kong dollar should not really be taken off by the British Zhengzhi chip game and become waste paper.
"Almost a year has passed since Mrs. Thatcher's visit to China. Although it is not a long time, the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar has accelerated, with a range of nearly one-third, which is shocking. The government has not taken countermeasures against the chaos such as the selling of Hong Kong dollar assets in the financial market and the speculation by speculators using the floating of people's hearts. If the situation really gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous." Speaking of this, Gao Xian's words have become straightforward, "the British capital that has operated in Xiangjiang for more than 100 years can't be alone and will suffer heavy losses."
Hong Kong Governor Youde naturally understood Sir Gao's bitter interest, but he still had to obey the British side after all. London's threat to hand over a mess would certainly not stop at words.
"I understand that Sir Gao has done a lot of work on monetary policy, but he has specialized in the technical industry, and I should also respect the decision of Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi," said governor Youde regretfully.
Gao Xian thought for a moment and proposed: "before the Deputy Chief Secretary Xia Dingji stepped down as financial secretary, I did not take credit for entrusting Gao Yi with the investment of the US $100 million exchange fund. Now that the government is under such great financial pressure, we might as well refer to this model to expand the scale of funds Gao Yi is responsible for, so as to relieve more worries for the governor."
Hong Kong Governor Youde's eyes brightened when he heard this. He can make decisions on this matter, such as adding 100 million. You know, sir Gao's ability to make money is well-known. Now he is willing to contribute, how can he miss it.
After readily agreeing, Hong Kong Governor Youde took the initiative and said, "I heard that the phase II project of happy energy in Tsing Yi Island port is progressing smoothly. I'd like to see it on the spot."
"Duxian is willing to come and guide, and happy energy certainly wants it." Gao Xian thanked.
In a word, the phase II project of happy energy Qingyi island port, which aims to cooperate with the development of Xiangjiang futures exchange and improve the actual cargo storage and delivery capacity, is really remarkable. After all, the action of large-scale construction in Xiangjiang, where the real estate industry is still at the bottom of the valley, is very rare, but the growth of chicken fart is inseparable from the contribution of infrastructure.
However, on the surface, Gao Xian, who happily left the governor's office, sighed with difficulty after getting on the bus. After all, the Hong Kong dollar disaster can't be avoided, but in other words, it seems to be good without bad. How can you know the treasures of Dazhi without going through chaos?
After Gao Xian returned to Gaoyi headquarters on the top floor of Xinhua people's Bank of China in central, Chen Zuze, who is in charge of favorable bank, ye Licheng, who is in charge of Gaoyi's daily affairs, and Ma Shiheng, who leads Xiangjiang futures exchange, are in place and ready to report.
"Jardine is now so worried that I'm scared to use the resources of Hong Kong Governor Youde to ask me to state that I have no idea of acquiring Jardine." Gao Xian joked: "In my opinion, the rope around Jardine's neck can be loosened for a while, but they should also take care of their mouths. Stop yelling and acting bitterly. For at least the next two or three months, I want to be clear. Hong Kong Governor Youde basically agreed. It's easy to make people jealous and gossip about increasing the scale of Gao Yi's investment in the exchange fund."
The three glanced at the newspaper Gao Xian threw on the table. There was no fresh report on it. It vividly described how the Gao's consortium was strong. In contrast, how Yihe had been unlucky and decadent for a hundred years, and was pitifully slaughtered by others. As long as it was acquired by the Gao's consortium, it officially announced that Xiangjiang huazi completely outperformed Xiangjiang British capital and created a new world History of.
This kind of thing can't be said, especially in this special period. The British are not stupid. In the past, you were weak and shouted two slogans of self-improvement, and you should be a joke. Now you have a real threat, how can you let it go? You know, there are more than ten years before the handover of Xiangjiang. There are too many opportunities to trip, even if you won't hurt Muscles move bones. It's disgusting enough.
"Jardine's executives are still fighting inside. In the first half of this year, Simon kaiserk was stationed in Xiangjiang and began to serve as Jardine's executive director. He showed his intention to get rid of Jardine's current big class, new Bijian and general manager Bao Fuda, and replace him. However, new Bijian still has a long term of office. In addition, he admits that he has no so-called fault and has been unwilling to obey." Chen Zuze thought: "at present, Jardine's repayment of the loan is also in line with the rules. The hands that get stuck in the neck are loosened, so that they have more energy to deal with internal struggles in exchange for taking care of their mouths. It should make sense."
"According to the information I received, Simon kaiserk's senior staff selected from Wall Street have been in place, and he has given a Chinese name of Bao Weishi according to Xiangjiang's habit." Gao Xian's face showed a banter, "Simon kaiserk should be ready to take over Yihe's big class and deal with some industries with poor current earnings to ease the debt pressure. The current Jardine executives led by newbijian just don't have the power of the kaiserk family."
Ye Licheng said with a smile: "I guess newbijian should have realized that the kaiserk family is determined to let him step down. I'm afraid the reason why he is still fighting is the compensation for the early departure of tangyihe senior class, which is not satisfactory."
Ma Shiheng, who has the shallowest seniority and has been cautious all the time, can't help laughing by Ye Licheng. "Newbijian can be regarded as a high achievement. If Simon kaiserk is too stingy, he will not only appear unkind, but also expose the real tension of Jardine's finance, which confirms the idea that the outside world doesn't look good."
……
Almost at the same time, Simon kaiserk put down the phone of Hong Kong Governor Youde with a bitter look on his face. "I don't know if our governor is stupid. Gao Xian just made a verbal promise and didn't seek to buy Jardine, so he promised to let Gao Yi manage an exchange fund of at least tens of millions of dollars."
"Maybe the governor just wants to let Jardine appreciate it through this news, and then don't find him for this matter in the future." Bao Weishi smiled. "Anyway, with the governor as the intermediary, we have a buffer time to get Jardine out of the debt crisis through capital operation."
Simon kaiserk said angrily, "but newbijian has been unwilling to step down. He has operated in Xiangjiang for many years and has great influence. It's really hard for me to do things."
Bao Weishi went straight to the core of the problem, "how much resignation compensation does newbijian want?"
"I've tested his tone. If it's less than a million dollars, it's definitely not enough." Simon kesek said with a painful look on his face, "you know, at present, the Hong Kong dollar is worth devaluing, and the value of the US dollar is very strong..."
Bao Weishi doesn't care. It's not his own money. "Let newbijian be satisfied. Otherwise, it's easy to expose the fact of Jardine's financial tension."
