Chapter 759: 752 Brother Zu returns to Hong Kong, the Tax King takes a fancy to Five-Star Property
1995, November.
Hong Kong temperature 26 degrees, sunny weather, sea breeze blowing, air quality excellent.
Whoosh boom~~~~~~~
A plane came from Sichuan and landed at Kai Tak Airport.
The great boss Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu returned to his loyal Hong Kong.
30 minutes later,
Causeway Bay, downstairs of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's house.
The black Chevrolet arrived.
Fang Ting, Le Huizhen, and the eldest daughter were already waiting downstairs.
As soon as Young Master Guan saw Fang Ting, he shouted: "Mommy, mommy~~~"
When Fang Ting saw Young Master Guan, her maternal love overflowed, and she ran over.
3 meters……
2 meters……
1 meter……
Fang Ting bypassed Young Master Guan directly and threw herself into Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's arms.
"Husband~~~~"
Young Master Guan threw himself into the air.
Young Master Guan: "?????"
Stunned.
Ah ah ah ah~~~
Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!
……
A new day,
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu went downstairs, Ding Hu was already waiting downstairs.
"Ah Hu~~~"
"Boss!" Ding Hu held his head high, roaring inside: Ask quickly, ask quickly, ask about the progress between me and my girlfriend (Hu Huizhong)!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was habitually going to "Yo~~~~" a bit, but seeing Ah Hu's pride that couldn't be hidden, he changed the subject: "Ahem…… Is there any news in Hong Kong today?"
Ding Hu: "…………"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu ignored him and went to the newsstand.
"Uncle Chen~~~"
"Wow, Ah Zu, haven't seen you for 2 weeks~~~"
"Yeah, long time no see, is there any news today?"
Uncle Chen: "Hey, Ah Zu, you're not here, Hong Kong is so boring, there's no news~~~"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu leaned back: "Wow, really boring? Too miserable, right?"
Uncle Chen: "Yeah, more miserable than being a prostitute!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu bought a few newspapers and started reading; it was indeed very boring.
Returning to the Five-Star Group headquarters, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu started a meeting.
Various departments and groups had already prepared report materials in advance; the meeting started at 9 o'clock, and various departments reported one after another.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had the passive ability of "Super Memory," so he didn't find this meeting too troublesome.
At the end of the meeting, it was the newly established Overseas Investment Department, with Jimmy as the person in charge. Originally, he was responsible for low-cost housing and Sunshine Home, using them to train Jimmy. Currently, these two projects belonged to the Five-Star Property Group.
Jimmy reported: "We went to the US, contacted the local Chinese Zhigong Hall, acted as a bridge, and inspected this project."
"The specific data is as follows……"
Jimmy reported in detail.
Final conclusion: "This project has a large profit margin, but cost accounting and the final negotiation space still need more detailed calculations."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "When can it be completed?"
Jimmy: "They are still in New York, the results should be sent back in a week."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "Where is that Donald now?"
Jimmy: "Still in Hong Kong, Five-Star Property reported that he squats at various branches of Five-Star Property every day……"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "????"
Ordered: "Make an appointment to see him."
Jimmy: "Good!"
……
What is the Tax King doing at this time?
He is sitting in a McDonald's on the street in Mong Kok, opposite is the office location of the Mong Kok branch of Five-Star Property.
He is holding a bottle of red cola, drinking it happily while observing Five-Star Property.
He has been in Hong Kong for more than half a month; at first, he just ran to Hong Kong for investment.
But after he met Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu last time and failed to find other investors, he realized that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the Five-Star Group's authority was too heavy, and other tycoons didn't dare to cooperate with him for fear of offending Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.
This was a bit outrageous.
And because of this reason, he began to carefully investigate the Five-Star Group, investigating its origin, investigating its development……
Didn't he have no money?
So he relied on the name of "cooperating with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu" to fool HSBC into lending him 100,000 US dollars; hey, he had money again.
With money, he could start spending lavishly, buying data to understand the development history of the Five-Star Group.
The more he understood, the more outrageous he felt.
This company, it only expanded to this point in 5 years?
Are you kidding me?
And because of this reason, he became more and more curious about the operating mechanism of the Five-Star Group.
What is going on with this company? Why did it develop so fast?
Doing good deeds?
He felt that he had discovered a gold mine!!
If it could be replicated to the US, even if it was just one city, he might become the richest man in the world, or at worst, he could be a president or a big tycoon!
At this time, he was too poor!
He was anxiously looking for every straw to save his life!
……
United States.
When the sun spilled onto the East Coast,
the streets of New York were already surging with busyness and noise.
Gao Hu got up early, got into the car, and headed to Citibank.
In the car,
Gao Hu first picked up a pro-Democratic newspaper; the front-page headline was an eye-catching election mobilization report:
"Fight for New York's Bright Future! Democratic Candidate Strikes Strongly!"
With the election date approaching, media close to the Democratic and Republican parties began to argue with each other.
The newspaper in front of him was close to the Democratic Party.
The article detailed the Democratic candidate's manifesto, promising solemnly:
"I will vigorously improve New York's public education system, increase funding for schools, and ensure that every child, regardless of poverty, wealth, or skin color, can enjoy quality education."
"In economic policy, I advocate increasing taxes on large enterprises to increase funding for public services, promote the renewal and improvement of infrastructure, and create a more favorable development environment for small and medium-sized enterprises."
Turning a few pages, there was an in-depth interview with the candidate; the candidate passionately expounded his political views: "New York is a city full of opportunities and dreams, but now, the wealth gap is widening, educational resources are unevenly distributed, and the rights and interests of vulnerable groups are not fully guaranteed. Our Democratic Party will be committed to changing all this and building a more fair, inclusive, and prosperous New York."
The newspaper also featured photos of the candidate giving speeches in communities and interacting enthusiastically with the public; the people's faces were full of anticipation.
Next, Gao Hu picked up the pro-Republican newspaper, whose headline read:
"Republican Party Leads New York Toward a New Journey of Prosperity!"
The Republican candidate's manifesto reported above was also full of power, claiming that promoting economic growth would be the primary task, advocating large-scale tax cuts, especially for enterprises and high-income groups, believing that this would stimulate market vitality, attract more investment, and create a large number of jobs.
In terms of social security, he promised to increase police investment, crack down on crime severely, and restore New York's past safety and order.
In the interview segment of the candidate in the newspaper, the candidate said firmly: "What New York needs now is strong leadership, policies that can stimulate the economy and ensure safety. Our Republican Party has the determination and ability to lead New York out of the current dilemma and return to the peak."
The newspaper also featured photos of the candidate communicating with elites from all walks of life in business occasions and visiting police stations to encourage police officers.
Gao Hu had lived in New York for this period and had roughly understood the urinary nature of the political parties here.
The Republican Party holds the tycoons and the middle class.
The Democratic Party holds the more grassroots citizens.
And now, because the Democratic Party (President Clinton) holds New York, the Democratic Party still has the advantage.
Gao Hu put down the newspaper and thought to himself: "In November, in San Francisco, Brother Jie will participate in the San Francisco City Council election; if there are no accidents, the election success is a nail in the coffin!"
He looked out the window,
at this time,
the whole of New York, and even New York State, became lively because of this state and city election in November 1995.
The media were even busier, with major TV stations and radio stations opening election special programs, inviting experts to analyze the pros and cons of the candidates and tracking election dynamics.
As for the citizens, it was no exception, because choosing an election that benefited them had a great impact on them.
Soon,
the car arrived downstairs at Citibank, and he got out of the car.
Elevator,
arrived at the office upstairs.
"Tiger (Gao Hu)~~~~"
"Tiger~~~"
Gao Hu came to the desk, and quite a few colleagues greeted him.
He had been working at Citibank for 2 months, relying on his talent in mathematics, and had made quite a lot of money with the funds on hand, with results ranking among the best.
Strength is fought out, making quite a few people look at him with admiration.
Not long after he went to work, he suddenly saw Soros's secretary tap, tap, tap~~~ leading a team into Citibank.
This was the third time he had seen Soros's secretary.
By noon,
he secretly asked an acquaintance and learned a piece of news: this morning, Soros's Quantum Fund and Citibank officially reached a cooperation, but the specific cooperation was confidential.
Needless to say, Gao Hu already knew the content of the cooperation.
……
……
Soros's manor.
The autumn wind blew down many leaves in the manor.
In Soros's second-floor study, the sunlight shone through the glass window onto the desk and bookshelf in the study.
"Boss,"
Secretary Karen was wearing a crisp suit, put the signed contract on the table,
"Currently, a total of 6 banks, securities, and financial groups including Citibank, Morgan, Goldman Sachs…… have signed cooperation agreements with us……"
Soros had graying hair, but was energetic and glowing.
He stood by the window, looking at the golden maple leaves in the manor, drifting down under the wind.
"Start acting, send teams to those countries that have been inspected, make preparations first……"
The secretary lowered her head: "Yes!"
It's getting cold……
At this very moment,
Soros was full of ambition!
In 1992, he successfully sniped the British pound!
In 1997, he would definitely be able to successfully snipe Asian finance!
……
One day later, one team after another of Soros's flew to Asia.
Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan……
……
A new day,
when Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu invited the Tax King to come to the Five-Star Group headquarters to meet, chat, and drink coffee,
a plane came from New York and arrived at Kai Tak Airport.
Soros's team, is here! ===== CHAPTER 760 =====
