Chapter 1,746 Negotiating Cooperation with the Hong Kong Governor

At night, Sassoon Manor is brightly lit.

At 6:15, the chief executive's vehicle, with the British crown pattern and the governor's flag hanging on the front hood, arrived at the gate of the manor.

As the hosts, Li Zitao and Elena went to the door to express their welcome.

"Sir Grantham, Lady Grantham~" they greeted each other, and Li Zitao and Elena accompanied them into the manor.

"Your Excellency, it has been a long time since we last met, and your appearance does not seem to have changed at all. How surprising!"

The lady covered her mouth in wonder and said, the envy in her eyes was self-evident.

"This is the power of technology. If you need it, I think I can give you some help." Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Charlie's company is very knowledgeable in this area. Madam, we can talk about it later." Elena took over the conversation and said that she could get closer to her in the future.

"Oh~ that's great." Sir Lady said expectantly.

No woman does not love beauty, no matter she is a three-year-old child or an eighty-year-old woman.

Life is endless, love for beauty is endless.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to come to Hong Kong again." After Elena left with his wife, Sir Grantham said pointedly.

"Life is colorful precisely because of surprises." Li Zitao responded with a smile.

He knew that the other party was referring to the 'Hong Kong and River Shipping Association'.

Facts have proved that he overestimates his influence in Hong Kong and believes that even if he is not around, nothing will happen.

However, the He family really did this and taught him a valuable lesson.

People, don't take yourself too seriously at any time.

"Will anyone be unlucky when they come back this time?" Sir Grantham asked cryptically.

"Some things always have to pay a price." Li Zitao smiled.

However, he didn't do it for face.

Across the ocean, his face is not so valuable that the whole world pays for it.

Someone is going to be unlucky because they want to get back the benefits that should belong to them. No matter how much they have eaten over the years, they have to spit it out with the profits.

"Your Excellency~"

"Call me Charlie, Ge, we don't need to be so hypocritical."

Sir Grantham laughed and said: "Yes, this is not Buckingham Palace."

"Charlie, what do you want?" He likes straightforward conversations, and Chinese language skills always annoy him to the point of scratching his head.

"The Marine Department and Hong Kong and Jiangsu have the ability to seize the changes of the times and build an international shipping center." Li Zitao paused.

"How?" Sir Grantham said anxiously.

He does not think that Li Zitao is just making wild claims. He started from scratch and became the world's top Chinese capitalist. There are countless legends about him.

If the other party would say something like this in front of him, he must have something to rely on.

Although with the other party's current status, it would be okay even if he was playing tricks on him, but doing so would not do him any good.

Besides, there was no conflict or enmity between the two.

"Transit hub, be a transfer station for world shipping." Li Zitao said loudly.

Sir Grantham's eyes lit up, then he became a little confused, and finally said calmly: "The Hong Kong River has always had the best natural harbor in the world. I think everyone knows that.

But now the situation in the Far East is chaotic, trade is blocked, and where should Hong Kong and Jiangsu be transferred? The business volume of cruise ships and the Middle East alone is not enough, and there is also Singapore..."

“The Hong Kong River is the center of the waterways in South Asia and the Far East. In my opinion, the government has invested too little energy or capital in the construction of ports in recent years.

So far, the only wharf in Hong Kong that can be called modern is the Wharf Wharf in Tsim Sha Tsui. The other wharves are either poorly managed or inefficient, and goods are often lost.

Of course, the establishment of the Shipping Association has improved the situation to a certain extent, but I heard that their charges have been rising year after year. They have now increased nearly 20 times compared to 5 years ago, and as a result they have lost many customers. "

“If we continue to let things go like this, Ge, do you think the future shipping industry of Hong Kong and River will be affected?

As you said, there is also a Singapore port here. If the Far East opens up shipping again..."

"Absolutely impossible. Western countries would rather go around than go there." Sir Grantham said with a gloomy face.

"Who knows!" Li Zitao shrugged and said easily.

"As a British Sir, I think you should understand that container transportation has become a major trend in the West, and Doha Port has completed its modernization."

"But we still need a transit area. This is Gangjiang's opportunity, and it is also your opportunity." Li Zitao's tone was full of temptation.

"You mean Standard Oil Company of Alaska?"

"Not just Mobil, there are so many trading companies in the world, why should we focus on one company?"

Li Zitao doesn't want to tie up Mobil. If things go well, Mobil's shipping will definitely be a major customer of Gangjiang Port in the future.

But this does not mean that they can only use Gangjianggang. There is an essential difference between the two.

Hearing what he said, Sir Grantham changed the topic and asked: "Why can't I leave this to the Shipping Association? You must know that they have performed very well over the years and received a large number of orders for Hong Kong and River."

"If this is really the case, do we need to discuss it so much before?" Li Zitao pointed out directly.

They are all old foxes, why hide them?

Li Zitao only knew part of the situation and knew that the Shipping Association was in a state of struggle for power and profit.

As the manager of Hong Kong and River, Sir Grantham only knows more than he does.

If they were not dissatisfied with the Shipping Association, the conversation between them should have ended long ago, and how could it have progressed to this point.

"You are right." Sir Grantham said seriously: "Their charges are becoming more and more confusing, and there is even a situation where there is one price in the morning and another price in the evening.

This kind of behavior has a great impact on Hong Kong's image and honor. The He family is so disappointing. "

Sir Grantham thought that if anyone took the lead, the Maritime Association would get better and better.

I never thought that in just a few years, a greedy monopoly industry would form. If it was not stopped, it would probably escape the government's control in the future.

"Elena and I both have the idea of ​​​​contributing to Hong Kong and River. Maybe we should have a discussion."

The previous conversation is just the beginning. If you want to really break the situation and get support from the government, the next conversation is the focus.

According to Li Zitao's vision, he will build a new container port in Gangjiang and completely eliminate the outdated Wharf Port.

At the same time, we will manage the river more effectively, expand the scope of shipping business, and open shipyards and docks with world-leading technology.

He wants to suppress the opponent from the very beginning until he dies completely.
