Hearing what Grandpa Bao said, Luo Zixi couldn't help but be very curious. This old man usually knew how to keep his distance, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't introduce her to people who weren't particularly important.
Moreover, the other party is from the East, which is interesting. Considering the current situation, Luo Zixi immediately understood what Grandpa Bao meant.
The British Empire has reached a consensus with the East, and Hong Kong will be returned to China in less than twenty years.
So much so that now, many businessmen in the port city, as well as some wavering individuals, are starting to get restless.
Should we leave this place and flee with the British capital?
Meanwhile, the East, in order to better take over the port city, must also make preparations in advance.
In the port city, it is essential to establish connections with these influential patriotic businessmen.
The Bao family had helped Dongfang when he was in his most difficult time, and the Huo family had followed Dongfang's footsteps very closely.
Therefore, after Hong Kong's return to China, both the Huo and Bao families received excellent care and eventually achieved even greater success in the East.
In Luo Zixi's past life, Li Ka-shing received special treatment and made a lot of money in the East. Unfortunately, from a businessman's perspective, Li Ka-shing quickly left after making money, essentially turning his back on the East after profiting from it.
Therefore, later generations have had mixed opinions about Li Ka-shing, with some admiring him and others criticizing him; he is a figure of both praise and condemnation.
Of course, from Luo Zixi's perspective, she didn't really like Li Ka-shing. He was too opportunistic and lacked the sense of responsibility expected of the richest man in the East.
However, at this moment, Luo Zixi suddenly received an invitation from Grandpa Bao, and she immediately felt that something was amiss.
She was even more curious about who the person who had come to meet and discuss things with her today was.
“Grandpa, I think I understand what you mean. It just so happens that I have always been very interested in the East. Although I have been living abroad, I am Chinese and my heart has always been with my motherland.”
"How about this, please schedule a time for me, and I'll have a good talk with my friend from the East."
The identity Luo Zixi is currently using, "Fei Zixiao," is that of the head of the Spencer family, but she is also of Chinese descent.
In fact, returning under this identity and building a new business empire would be easier to manage and subject to fewer constraints.
At the same time, you can also get more favorable policies, so why not?
In any case, she will not reduce the cooperation that is due to Dongfang, and she will even enhance her soft and hard power to provide more convenience to Dongfang.
After all, she is an Easterner, and seeing her motherland grow stronger has always been her wish.
At this juncture, the East is like a dragon about to take flight. Luo Zixi chooses to ride the wind and follow in the footsteps of the East, and she too will achieve unparalleled development.
Upon hearing Luo Zixi's answer, even the shipping magnate Bao couldn't help but beam with joy:
“Miss Fei, I knew you would agree to this request. There’s no time like the present. That young man has already arrived today, but he hasn’t had a chance to speak with you yet.”
"Since the banquet is basically over now, and there's still some time, I wonder if Miss Fei would do me the honor of giving this young man a chance to meet me?"
Since the shipping magnate has already said so, it would be a bit disrespectful for Luo Zixi to refuse.
The two sides now have a deep cooperative relationship and are already very close allies.
This massive transaction has propelled both parties to their current peak of power. Their powerful alliance means that few in the entire port city dare to disrespect them.
Luo Zixi naturally had to give Bao Changwang this face:
"Of course, no problem, let him come over."
The shipping magnate smiled slightly and soon had his son bring over a young man.
Upon seeing this, Luo Zixi couldn't help but smile inwardly:
"Oh my, isn't this an old acquaintance, Comrade Lao Bai?"
Bai Jingyan hasn't shown his face for a while. He sent Luo Zixi a letter saying he was going on a secret mission and might disappear for a long time. He told Luo Zixi to be careful and wait for him to come back.
Luo Zixi never expected to see Bai Jingyan here. Now it seems that his secret mission is probably to come to Hong Kong to be responsible for various liaisons and preparations for Hong Kong's return to China.
It's clear that Bai Jingyan is highly valued by his superiors, as such secret and important tasks have been entrusted to him.
Luo Zixi even felt that from now on, Lao Bai would be the boss of the Hong Kong garrison.
Of course, it's not time for the PLA garrison to arrive in Hong Kong yet, but Lao Bai is clearly laying the groundwork here in advance. He needs to familiarize himself with the situation here first, so he can handle various issues more easily in the future.
At this moment, Luo Zixi saw Lao Bai coming over, pretending not to recognize him at all, and even acting a bit aloof.
When Bai Jingyan entered, he was slightly taken aback when he saw Luo Zixi.
He had previously heard from Bao Chuanwang that the chairman of Chenxi Group was a stunningly beautiful young woman.
But he hadn't expected her to be this beautiful, almost on par with his Luo Luo. She even had the feel of a second Luo Zixi.
This woman's appearance was somewhat different from Luo Zixi's, but her temperament felt strangely familiar. However, she was more noble and beautiful, like a blooming rose with thorns, alluring yet unapproachable.
Bai Jingyan gently shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, because he knew that the woman in front of him was the new head of the Spencer family, while Luo Zixi was just an educated youth sent to the countryside in Northeast China.
The two are completely unrelated and have no connection whatsoever; they might just have some similarities in temperament.
Even Lao Bai couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself at this moment:
"Is it because I miss Luo Luo so much? To the point that I think every beautiful woman I see looks a bit like Luo Luo!"
At this moment, Bai Jingyan had already arrived at the seat next to Luo Zixi, greeted her very politely, and introduced himself:
"Hello, Ms. Fei, I am Bai Jingyan from the East. On behalf of the East, I extend my sincere greetings to you."
"I know that Ms. Fei has always maintained a friendly attitude towards our East. Now the East is at a critical juncture of development and needs the help of patriotic businesswomen like Ms. Fei."
"If Ms. Fei is willing to invest and develop in our East, we will offer the most preferential treatment and policies. I wonder..."
Luo Zixi waved her hand gently, signaling Lao Bai not to continue. Lao Bai's heart tightened at this moment.
He knew things wouldn't be that simple and smooth...
