"Sister Zhao, are you going to go out for a walk?"
"I'm not going to Erheng. You can take them with you. I'll stay with Xiaoya and help her sort out some information."
Zhao Mingxia is now not only the little girl's companion, but also more like an assistant, coming over every night to help.
On the contrary, Li Heng, the husband, acted like the boss of the company. Except for formulating development routes for several companies, he did not interfere in any other issues related to management and specific operations.
He knows nine things out of ten about business, so apart from giving money to the company, he never interferes with anything else. He saves the laymen from giving orders to the experts, and the more he gives orders, the worse it gets.
As long as you do a good job in financial and legal supervision, implement the approval system for all work, and assign responsibilities to people, in this age without the Internet, it is not easy to get away with your money.
Zhao Mingxia admired him very much for this. With so much money, such a big company was left in the hands of a little girl who also knew nothing. She was really not afraid of losing money.
But she was also a little confused. She couldn't figure out where this guy's money came from. Could it be that it was given by someone above? But isn't this a bit too much?
There are many people who are also confused, such as the senior officials of Hong Kong Island, but they have more to think about.
At first, they also suspected that the money had come from improper sources, but later, after investigation, they found that the source was really messy. Some of the money actually came from an old nobleman in their hometown, which forced them to turn a blind eye.
Eye.
Even in my hometown, there are MPs helping to say hello. Seeing this situation, the Government House is even more lazy to take care of it. Anyway, they have lost the benefits. The better the economy of Hong Kong Island, the better they will be. They will continue to work in the political arena after returning to their hometown in the future.
The greater the possibility of confusion, why not do it.
But they are also wondering why the agent chooses Chinese. Is it just because there are many Chinese here and it is convenient? Or do the people behind Huasheng have other deeper plans?
"Sir, the plan and budget for the undersea tunnel have been roughly finalized. The funding gap is really too big. They want us to raise our own funds. You see..."
Although it was already evening in the Governor's Mansion, the living room was still very busy with people coming and going.
The population of Hong Kong Island is increasing day by day. The main island and Kowloon are across the sea. Although the distance is only two kilometers, there is no land transportation connection. You can only take a ferry to and from it, which greatly limits the exchanges between the two sides.
Now that the Governor's Office wants to develop industry on Hong Kong Island, it must make full use of Kowloon, because there is no extra land on the island for industrial development. Therefore, the construction of the cross-sea bridge was shelved in the 19th century.
The idea was raised again.
It's just that what they thought back then was to build a cross-sea bridge to connect the island and Kowloon, but now their ideas have changed.
If a cross-sea bridge is built, it will affect the waterway of Victoria Harbor. Although they intend to develop industry on Hong Kong Island, they do not want to destroy this natural harbor, which is ranked among the top three in the world. Isn't that what they came here for?
Therefore, in order to develop, land connectivity is necessary, but the original plan to build a cross-sea bridge became an undersea tunnel, but the problem also came, that is, the budget is not enough, and if you want your hometown to provide subsidies, you better think about it.
, it’s interesting enough that they don’t want their money there.
After hearing the report from the municipal officials, the Governor frowned deeply, but then he thought of someone else.
"Cavill, you will contact Li tomorrow, talk to him, and tell him that if Huasheng can help with some of the funds, I will approve the TV station's construction plan for him, and I will also help him communicate with the Kahn family.
Isn't he very interested in the telegraph and telephone company controlled by the Kahn family?"
"Sir, that Li is not a very talkative person. In the words of the Chinese people, he will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. If it is just a verbal promise, I don't think he will be willing to pay. After all, the amount of money is not small. If
He just gave me HK$1.8 million, which is no different than nothing. You have to know that the current funding gap is in the billions."
"Huh..." The Governor sighed deeply. He also had a headache. There are indeed many rich people in Hong Kong, but most of this wealth is in the hands of British-funded companies. He wants these people to spend money to build buildings.
Undersea tunnel, haha...
Those Chinese rich people are definitely willing to pay, but they only want a drop in the bucket. If there is someone who is really willing to pay the full amount, to be honest, he really doesn't dare to accept it, then he must have a big conspiracy, which is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Now only Huasheng Company's money seems to be cleaner on the surface. Although the agent is still Chinese, most of the funds that can be traced come from the West, so he just asked Li Heng to ask for help.
But what the city official said was right. Why should people pay for this? If they are just relying on empty words and relying on some promises that they don't know when they will be fulfilled, then they are really overthinking.
"You should contact Li Ba first and listen to what kind of requests he will make, and then we can discuss it."
"Okay sir." There was no way, the Governor said so. The municipal official could only hold his nose and nod in response, then turned to look at a middle-aged white man sitting on the other side.
The man asked: "Brian, do you know where to find Mr. Li? As far as I know, this man is quite elusive. Many people who want to contact him are unable to contact him."
Brian is the official responsible for security in the Governor's Mansion and has close ties with the police. He must be very concerned about the whereabouts of Li Heng, who is both the spokesperson for Huasheng Company and the spokesperson for Hengyi Society.
"Well... Li is actually very easy to find. He has almost no other social activities. During the day, his wife goes to school, and he basically stays at the teahouse in Central. The specific address is No. 7, ** Avenue, and the phone number is
…”
At this point, Brian took out a small book from his pocket, flipped through it and said a series of numbers: "You can call this number first for consultation. As long as Li is there, the person who answers the phone will not hide anything, but
You must remember to identify yourself."
"Teahouse?"
Brian's words made everyone in the living room pay attention to him. A guy who controls tens or even tens of billions of dollars is in the teahouse every day? Shouldn't he be so busy every day that he has no time to rest?
Seeing this, Brian shrugged his shoulders: "Guys, you heard it right, he is at the teahouse every day. I heard that he hardly interferes in the operation of the company. Instead, his wife reads various work briefings every day. This
What does this guy say? It seems that he only cares about the development direction of the company. He is a very strange rich man, which is completely different from other Chinese rich people who want to take all the rights into their own hands."
