Inside the Governor's House, heavy curtains block out the dazzling night view of Victoria Harbour.
Shen Bi's call came at a really bad time, but MacLehose had to answer the call.
Moreover, the content discussed on the phone was so important that MacLehose could not help but chat with Shen Bi for nearly half an hour.
Just as MacLehose hung up the intercom line with Shen Bi, his face was even gloomier than the night outside the window.
The name Kobayashi Tenwang once again weighed on his heart like a heavy stone.
He just couldn't understand why Xiao Lin Tianwang made so many big moves every day and was almost never idle for a moment.
After finally becoming Asia Television and defeating TVB to a pulp, thus securing his reputation as Hong Kong's new television tycoon, he actually wanted to make a big splash in the international financial market, using the massive amount of funds raised from Hong Kong Island.
This once again gave the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, a headache.
Abnormal large-scale fund transfers...
Silver futures gamble...
A massive loan application of HK$4 billion...
The suspicion and warning in Shen Bi's voice are still ringing in my ears.
What the hell is this Japanese kid doing?
Could it be that his previous "naivety" and "short-sightedness" were all disguised?
His real target has never been the Hong Kong property market or the tiny island of Hong Kong, but rather the bigger and more dangerous international financial game?
This is simply playing with fire!
If things go wrong, Hong Kong Land will collapse, HSBC will have bad debts, and the financial and real estate landscape in Hong Kong Island, which has just stabilized, will be in turmoil again!
Is this Kobayashi Tenwang the cornerstone of a stable situation, or a powerful time bomb?
Have I always underestimated his ambition and energy?
The more MacLehose thought about it, the more irritated he felt. He subconsciously reached out and picked up an exquisite blue and white porcelain wine bottle on the desk.
There was red paper pasted on the bottle with the five Chinese characters "Tiger Bone Aphrodisiac Wine" written on it with a brush.
This was a "secret recipe" that he had "obtained" with some effort from a Chinese business tycoon who was eager to please him.
It has to be said that many secret recipes and folk remedies of traditional Chinese medicine from the mainland are still highly regarded by foreigners in Hong Kong.
Especially in some special times, after many traditional Chinese medicines in mainland China were severely hit, they often ended up in Hong Kong Island. Some large pharmacies in Hong Kong Island still retain many of the essences of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine.
Today is a special day for Murray MacLehose, as it is the birthday of his wife, Liping Teresa.
The warm atmosphere during dinner and his wife's expectant eyes reminded him of his recent inability in bed, so with the mentality of giving it a try, he drank a glass of this amber liquid with a strong medicinal flavor before dinner.
As soon as he drank it, the wine seemed to give off a faint warmth in his lower abdomen.
He had originally planned to take advantage of this rare "drug effect" to fulfill his duties as a husband after dinner, make up for his recent shortcomings, and please his wife on her birthday.
I have to say that God is fair. For any man, no matter how high your status or how much assets you have, once you reach middle age, you will feel quite powerless.
Especially for those successful men who are powerful and stand at the top of the social pyramid, facing such problems is even more frequent and difficult.
After all, when they were young, they were successful, had money and status, and countless women threw themselves at them. They had no idea about moderation and health preservation.
As the saying goes, if one does not know the value of energy when young, he will shed tears in vain when he looks forward to it when he is old.
Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose also felt regretful!
If I had attended fewer dances and been seduced by fewer young women when I was young, I wouldn’t be in this situation now!
Fortunately, we got some tiger bone wine today. As soon as we saw that the medicine was effective, MacLehose was very happy and was ready to show his prowess.
However, the sudden emergency call from Shen Bi was like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly extinguishing the little bit of romantic thoughts that had just risen in his mind and the little bit of warmth in his body.
Kobayashi Tenmo's troubles!
It's him again!
When MacLehose was thinking about this matter seriously, he felt that the warmth that had just arisen disappeared in an instant, leaving only a lot of doubts and a heavy burden of government affairs.
What should I do now?
He quickly poured another glass of tiger bone aphrodisiac wine and drank it down in one gulp.
Um?
What's going on?
Why is it not working?
Unwilling to give up, MacLehose drank another glass, but still nothing happened.
Even after he finished the whole bottle, he was still in the state of "lowering his head and thinking about his hometown", which made him even more annoyed.
At this moment, the door of the room was gently pushed open.
Madam Deng Liping walked in gracefully.
She was obviously dressed up carefully, wearing a silk burgundy nightgown that made her skin look whiter than snow. Her golden curly hair was lazily draped, and her blue eyes sparkled in the soft light, revealing undisguised expectation and affection.
The familiar, alluring scent of her perfume wafted through the air.
I have to say, it is true that the saying in Dream of the Red Chamber that women are made of water is true.
Women dress up to please themselves. Even though Deng Liping is now in her forties, her appearance is still very attractive after dressing up, and she is definitely an English lady.
However, no matter how beautiful your wife is, you will gradually lose your passion for her after being with her for decades.
Not to mention, MacLehose was now extremely upset, even the tiger bone wine had lost its efficacy. When he saw his wife, Teresa Tang, he lowered his head slightly with a guilty look on his face.
