"Governor, I offer you a toast!" Mo Zhexuan raised his glass and looked at Youde with a firm and respectful gaze.
"Goldstone Securities will live up to the expectations of you and all investors. Please feel free to do as you please. I'll drink first as a token of my respect!"
After saying this, he drank it all without hesitation, showing his sincerity and heroism.
Although Mo Zhexuan had vaguely guessed Youde's true purpose in his heart, his gratitude to the governor did not diminish in the slightest.
He showed such support on our first meeting and gave strong endorsement to Jinshi Securities. This favor is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Mo Zhexuan knows very well that people should be grateful, and this is especially true when doing business.
He strongly agreed with a famous saying by Li Jiacheng at the dinner table: "Business ethics are human ethics. To do business, you must first be a human being."
These words have been deeply engraved in his heart.
At this moment, he had already made a decision in his heart.
If Youde really needs help in the future, he will do his best to help without violating his principles and bottom line.
"Mr. Mo, as the highest leader of the Hong Kong region, I am fully aware of the heavy responsibility of leading the citizens towards a well-off society.
The financial industry, an industry we strongly support, is of great significance in promoting economic development."
You Dehao took a sip of the white wine in his glass, his eyes firm and calm.
“The amount of tax paid by Goldstone Securities to the government last year was among the highest among many financial companies, approaching hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which fully demonstrates your strength and contribution.
The Hong Kong government naturally has no reason not to support it, and we hope to work hand in hand with you to jointly promote the prosperity and development of Hong Kong's economy."
"Now, your reputation has spread as far as the British Empire, and even Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has heard of you.
This is a recognition of your personal abilities and an affirmation of your contribution to Hong Kong's economy.
I sincerely hope that you can continue to contribute to the economic prosperity of Hong Kong. In the future, you may have the opportunity to receive an honor from His Majesty, just like the shipping king and Mr. Run Run Shaw. That will be a great honor in your life."
You Dehao's words revealed his expectations and intention to win over Mo Zhexuan, but there was something else in his heart that he had not said, which was that he hoped Mo Zhexuan could contribute to the economy of the British Empire.
The tycoons present were all surprised when they heard what You Dehao said.
Being awarded an honor is not an honor that can be easily obtained. It represents great contribution and social influence.
This is enough to show how much the Hong Kong government is trying to win over Mo Zhexuan, which also means that Mo Zhexuan already has huge influence.
"Thank you for your kindness and support, Governor! I will continue to work hard to contribute to Hong Kong's economy and live up to your expectations," Mo Zhexuan responded.
Although he was somewhat confused as to what it was about him that made the other party value him so much, he still maintained a happy and grateful expression on the surface.
My principle is that I can accept sugar-coated bullets, but I will never completely turn to the British Empire. This is my bottom line.
As the atmosphere at the table gradually heated up, the tycoons raised their glasses to toast Mo Zhexuan to express their congratulations and respect.
Mo Zhexuan responded one by one and talked with them about cooperation and the future.
After three rounds of drinks, Youde left the venue first accompanied by his butler.
With the departure of this important figure, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became relaxed.
The conversations among the crowd became more unrestrained, the topics were no longer so restrained, and laughter and conversation were heard one after another.
"Old Li! You brought your daughter here today. Do you want Mo Zhexuan to be your son-in-law?"
Li Guowei looked at the beautiful Li Peizhen sitting on the sofa next to the private room with a playful look in his eyes.
Although Li Zhaoji had drunk a lot of wine, his mind was still clear. He responded with a smile:
"Yes! If Xiaoxuan could be my son-in-law, I would be more than happy to do so. But, Brother Li, are you thinking the same thing?"
As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously turned to Li Lingge, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Li Ka-shing brought his daughter with him today for this very purpose.
If the two companies can get married, future cooperation will undoubtedly be closer, which is extremely beneficial to both parties.
However, Zheng Yutong laughed and interrupted Li Zhaoji:
"Old Li, you have a daughter, and I have a daughter too.
However, my daughter is currently studying abroad at Princeton University in the United States.
When she comes back, I will introduce Xiaoxuan to you."
Naturally, he was unwilling to let Li Ka-shing succeed. After all, although the people present had a good relationship, they were also competitors.
Hong Kong's real estate market is limited, and every company hopes to occupy a larger market share.
"You guys! What are you fighting for? Xiaoxuan will know the truth only after he sees it!" The ship charter king is regretting it so much now. His three daughters have already found sons-in-law, otherwise he would have wanted to join the battle.
"Old Bao is right! You guys should stop randomly matching couples. It depends on Xiaoxuan's choice."
“................”
Mo Zhexuan felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Although these bigwigs are famous in the business world, they actually have the same emotions and needs as ordinary people.
As Confucius said, food and sex are human nature, and this is also reflected vividly in these bigwigs, but their private side is not well known to the outside world.
In order to avoid this sudden "battle for son-in-law", Mo Zhexuan found an excuse to go to the bathroom and temporarily left the private room.
Afterwards, he went to the second floor to learn about the fund-raising situation.
"Mr. Mo! Huicai Fund has already raised HK$950 million, and only the last five shares are left."
When Wang Pengfei saw Mo Zhexuan, he couldn't stop smiling and immediately told him the data he had just counted.
Mo Zhexuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Having 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds meant that Jinshi Securities would be able to carry out more businesses and officially join the ranks of financial companies.
"Great! It seems like raising 1 billion yuan today is a sure thing."
After the reception, the news that Huicai Fund had raised HK$1 billion spread like a hurricane, sweeping across every corner of Hong Kong. This figure not only attracted the attention of business elites and celebrities, but also shocked countless ordinary citizens.
As the news spread, the entrance to Jinshi Securities Co., Ltd. was bustling with activity. Countless citizens flocked in, hoping to invest in Huicai Fund and share in this financial feast.
In a very short period of time, Huizhong Fund's 500 million investment quota was snapped up, and many citizens who did not get it refused to leave. This also allowed Jinshi Securities Co., Ltd. to firmly sit in the top spot among all financial companies in Hong Kong.
