Governor MacLehose was the 25th Governor of Hong Kong and the longest-serving Governor of Hong Kong. He was also one of the most outstanding and most beloved Governors in Hong Kong's history.
Since taking office in 1971, he has carried out drastic reforms in Hong Kong, covering many aspects such as housing, education, infrastructure, welfare, people's livelihood, and medical care.
The reforms and construction include the Ten-Year Housing Plan, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, nine years of free education, etc. The implementation of these measures and policies has also restored the positive image of the Hong Kong government among the citizens and made all citizens feel a growing sense of belonging to Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's original model was based on light industry, with an underdeveloped economy and low per capita income.
However, with the strong support of Governor MacLehose, Hong Kong gradually transformed into the financial, service and electronics industries. Finally, after years of development, Hong Kong became one of the "Four Asian Tigers".
"Your Excellency the Governor! Welcome to the dinner. Zhexuan and I are honored."
Lee Quo-wai served as an unofficial Executive Councillor in the Executive and Legislative Councils for one year each, and was even appointed Chairman of the Education Committee by the Governor-General in 1976. Therefore, he knew the Governor-General's character very well and knew that his visit today, which was so conspicuous, must have a purpose and deep meaning.
"Guowei! Long time no see. You have provided the government with many valuable suggestions in the Executive and Judicial Bureaus. I hope you can continue to serve as a member of the Executive Bureau next year."
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose had a smile on his face. He would officially step down from his post as governor at the beginning of next year and then return to the British Empire to report on his work, although he would be very reluctant to leave.
But deep down in my heart I still hope that Hong Kong will develop better and better. It’s just a pity that in the future this shining pearl of the Orient will completely leave the embrace of its motherland, and I can’t help but feel heartbroken.
"Thank you for your kindness, Governor! It is my honor to continue to contribute to the development of Hong Kong."
Li Guowei smiled and nodded in agreement. He would naturally not refuse the opportunity to continue to enter the decision-making body of the Hong Kong government. This would be a huge benefit for both himself and Hang Seng Bank.
"Governor! Hello! Welcome to the dinner."
When Mo Zhexuan saw Governor of Hong Kong Michael MacLehose looking towards him, a smile instantly appeared on his face. He leaned forward slightly and quickly extended his right hand to greet him.
"Mr. Mo! Your reputation is now well-known. Almost all the younger generation in Hong Kong are proud of you. I hope you will live up to their expectations and make more contributions to Hong Kong's economy!"
Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, shook hands politely, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. It had been rumored that Mo Zhexuan had just turned twenty years old. Now, after seeing this handsome young man with his own eyes, he knew that what was said was true.
"I will definitely bear in mind the Governor's teachings and continue to work hard to contribute to Hong Kong's economy."
Mo Zhexuan could come up with such polite words easily, but he also instantly understood the true meaning of the other party's words.
It seems that the last lawsuit against the Hong Kong Food Bureau has also affected the credibility of the Hong Kong government, so I advised myself to keep a low profile, not to be too aggressive, and not to challenge the bottom line of the Hong Kong government.
After chatting for a few minutes, Mo Zhexuan and Li Guowei accompanied Hong Kong Governor MacLehose into the hotel lobby.
At this point in time, almost all of Hong Kong's top tycoons had arrived, and the only ones left were some insignificant minor figures. A few employees of Peritech Securities were left guarding outside the door.
As soon as they entered the hall, the three of them instantly became the focus of the whole audience. You know, the person standing in the middle is the highest official of Hong Kong, Governor MacLehose.
If he sneezes, Hong Kong will shake!
In the banquet hall, all the bigwigs, whether they were worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions, ten billion, or even hundreds of billions, stood up, and some even hurried over to say hello.
The charter ship owner, Li Shau-kee, Cheng Yu-tung, Run Run Shaw, Li Ka-shing, Xu Shixun, Lam Pak-yan, Ho Ying-tung and Li Yulin of Xinhua News Agency all came over in turn to greet the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose.
This also made these top bosses no longer dare to underestimate Mo Zhexuan, which is why these people came to support him.
On the one hand, Mo Zhexuan is too talented. He has earned billions in just one year. This can be said to be a miracle. It is possible that he will reach their level in the future, so there is an intention to make friends with him.
On the other hand, it is to give face to Hang Seng Bank Chairman Lee Quo-wai. Although Hang Seng Bank is not as strong as HSBC and Standard Chartered, it is also ranked third in Hong Kong. No company can always refuse loans!
Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Mo Zhexuan is a true one-in-a-million financial genius. No one can guarantee that if you offend him, you will not be sniped in the stock market.
After all, the battle for China Gas Company is still fresh in people's minds, which makes everyone shudder, so they all decided to invest in the Ruitai No. 1 Fund to be announced soon. Not only can they make money, but they can also make friends.
Originally, these top tycoons thought that Mo Zhexuan had only been rising for a year and had already made friends with Li Guowei and Ho Sin Hang, but now even the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, came in person, which was really surprising.
"Everyone is here! Great! Ruitai Securities is an excellent company, and Mr. Mo Zhexuan is an outstanding entrepreneur. I'm here on behalf of the Hong Kong government to support this leader in the financial industry."
After seeing Huo Yingdong and Li Yulin, a cold blue light flashed in the eyes of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose, and then he smiled and expressed his support for Mo Zhexuan to everyone.
"The Governor is optimistic about the development of Ruitai Securities, so I'm going to invest more today. Don't compete with me!" The charter king immediately laughed heartily to express his agreement.
