In order to facilitate the control of the complex forces and better rule Hong Kong, which is dominated by Chinese society, successive Hong Kong governors after the end of the Second World War would carefully select Hong Kong's Chinese elites to be the so-called celebrities.

And this kind of popular person in front of the Hong Kong Governor will also become a generation of leaders of the Chinese people in Hong Kong.

For example, Zhou Xinian, the chairman of the board of directors of the milk company before it was acquired, was a popular figure in front of the two Hong Kong governors, Grantham and Robert B.

Of course, the current Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, will also follow this type of successful governance experience and will have his own celebrities in front of him.

According to the least controversial statement in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose has two Chinese elite celebrities in front of him, namely Shi Yueqiang and Gao Xian.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Gao Xian, a "famous man", is still slightly inferior to another "famous man" Shi Yueqiang.

The mysterious thing is that before Hong Kong Governor MacLehose came to Hong Kong to take office, the then chief Chinese representative of the Hong Kong Government Executive Council, Shi Yueqiang, had already gone to London to talk to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose about the situation in Hong Kong.

Tan, who can be called the right-hand man of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose in governing Hong Kong, has a high emotional score.

As for Gao Xianma, in the eyes of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, he should be a young man who dares to do things and fight hard. After the global oil crisis, he turned the tide to solve the energy crisis in Hong Kong and stabilize prices; on behalf of the Hong Kong government and the business community, he went to the world

Various actions such as attracting investment for Hong Kong, etc. are all in line with the needs of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose to govern. It is natural for him to be treated as a "popular person" in front of him.

Although the relationship between Gao Xian, a "popular man", and Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was not as strong as that of Shi Yueqiang, his advantage was that he won the respect of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose through his ability, which did not affect the discussion of affairs between the two.

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose opened Gao Xian's bill. The contents were clear, concise and clear, allowing him to figure out the stakes on the spot.

After the end of World War II, although the "sun never sets" empire's colonial system around the world fell apart and independence movements in various colonies emerged one after another, the British Commonwealth system that replaced it could still maintain the imperial preferential system involving international trade tariff interests.

During this period, the Hong Kong government deposited a sum of funds in London as foreign exchange reserves, so that the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was directly linked to the British pound, and everything was basically fine.

But in the years before and after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the situation suddenly became very bad.

First of all, the UK, the leader, was unable to maintain the value of the pound. It ignored the life and death of its little brother, the Hong Kong dollar, and carried out substantial devaluation several times. The Hong Kong government had no choice but to withdraw foreign exchange reserves from London amid widespread complaints and changed the Hong Kong dollar to the pound.

The U.S. dollar; however, the U.S. dollar is also depreciating significantly, and now the Hong Kong dollar is forced to choose a freely floating exchange rate.

All in all, the Hong Kong dollar is under considerable pressure in the current volatile foreign exchange market.

On the other hand, the United Kingdom finally joined the European Economic Community as it wished, which directly led to the Empire's System of Preferences, a customs union within the Commonwealth, existing in name only, and only the leader of the alliance, the United Kingdom, officially announced its dissolution.

As a result, Xiangjiang, whose economic development is mainly driven by international trade, is currently in a sensitive period of adapting to the new international trade environment.

Based on these two items alone, the Hong Kong dollar has sufficient reasons to maintain its own value stability. Gao Xian first attacked the printing process of the Hong Kong dollar, which greatly impressed the Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

After browsing the documents, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose nodded and said: "After the meeting, the Financial Secretary, Wellington Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Lee Bank will discuss Sir Gao's suggestions."

…

Recently, Gao Xian's version of the Hong Kong dollar has become so popular that Shen Bi can't help but feel a little jealous of Gao Xian. However, as the vice chairman of Huifeng Bank, he is not short of government officials and takes Gao Xian's situation very seriously. Understand that the more you are in the limelight, the easier it is to arouse the jealousy of Chinese capital and the fear of British capital, and your popularity will slowly fade away.

At this time, after Shen Bi learned about Gao Xian's suggestion, his first reaction was that the more Gao Xian likes to do things, the more resources the bank will have to tie up Gao's business kingdom, thereby reducing the threat to British capital.

At the same time, there are indeed many benefits to controlling the Hong Kong dollar printing process within the sphere of influence of local capital in Hong Kong.

However, it is better to let Gao Xian do this kind of work of reaching out to fish out of bounds and offending people.

Thinking of this, Shen Bi exchanged glances with the representative from Standard Chartered Bank, and instantly they had a clear understanding.

The Financial Secretary Xia Dingji, who was constantly in trouble for the treasury due to the lavish spending of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, frowned slightly and asked: "According to Sir Gao's suggestion, the Hong Kong dollar printing should be placed under a public enterprise controlled by the government, but it Is the profitability guaranteed?”

To put it bluntly, the subtext in Xia Dingji's words is that the money in my treasury is enough to serve the various development plans of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, but I must not add another loser!

Gao Xian smiled and said: "Under the wise leadership of Du Xian, the annual growth rate of Hong Kong's chickens has reached double digits, and the market demand for Hong Kong dollars is very strong; and I am sure that Haojiang's Portuguese dollars will not be printed. In addition, small countries in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and other regions are also willing to outsource the currency printing process in order to reduce costs."

"Sir Gao is so right, the possibility of losing money is really low." Shen Bi gave a high-five and then added playfully: "But because of this, Delaru Company may not give in easily. "

We are all smart people, and we immediately understood that the benefits of this matter were indeed tempting enough, but one person needed to do the offending work.

Facing everyone's tacit glances, Gao Xian shrugged calmly, "If you all agree with this plan, then I will volunteer to be responsible for promoting the specific matters."

The Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, liked Gao Xian's willingness to do things the most, and he immediately said happily: "Sir Lauco is here! Just go ahead and do it, and the government will definitely support it."

"Thank you, Governor!" As Gao Xian stood up to say goodbye, he also informed the other party that British Crown Prince Charles would come to Hong Kong in a private capacity in the near future to attend the opening ceremony of the Royal Building, a landmark commercial building built by Gao Xing Group in Causeway Bay.

…

"Is it so difficult to steal fat from the British?" Gao Xian, who had long been dissatisfied with the arrogant De La Ru Company, did not believe this evil. After returning to Xinhua People's Bank, he immediately ordered his subordinates to notify the British The person in charge of Delaru Company in Xiangjiang, I have changed the rules of the game!

After getting the news, the gang of ghost guys were confused on the spot and hurriedly came to negotiate.

Gao Xian ignored the other party and directly issued an ultimatum. He quickly asked the headquarters of the British company Delaru to send a representative with equal status to negotiate. If it exceeds the deadline, then I will directly ask your American counterparts and West German counterparts to Colleagues took their place.

Seeing Sir Gao's arrogant attitude, the guys from Delarue Company stationed in Hong Kong finally came to their senses. They had a grudge. There was no solution to the matter, so they had no choice but to ask for help from the British headquarters.

"This means you have the right to speak when you enter!" Gao Xian snorted coldly, then put the matter aside for the time being and began to prepare to welcome Prince Charles, who came to Xiangjiang in a private capacity.
