Chapter 929: Shen You's Conversation, Not Caring (Two in One)

Fanling Golf Course.

In the lounge.

Shen Zhou and You De sat opposite each other and drank tea.

Lin Baicheng had already left. After seeing Lin Baicheng off, the two came to the lounge to drink tea and rest.

Putting down the teacup, Shen Zhou said, "Sir, as far as it seems, Lin Sheng will continue to support the mainland, and it is not easy to change his position."

"I can see that too."

You De nodded and said, "Although he agreed to go back and think about it, his previous refusal shows that his position has not changed. He said he would go back and think about it, but he was just giving face and not refusing in person."

"What will Sir do next?"

Shen Zhou asked, "Wait for Lin Sheng to refuse, and then start to suppress him?"

"It is absolutely impossible in the short term."

You De shook his head and said, "Even if he refuses, if you want to suppress him, you have to wait until the Falklands War is over, and it depends on how the war ends. It is best if the war ends quickly. Once the war drags on, it is not Lin Baicheng and others who need to be considered, but the attitude of the mainland. Will they have different thoughts?"

"Sir, do you mean that the mainland will take back Hong Kong by force?"

Shen Zhou paused with the teacup in his hand. If this really happens, it will be too bad, and HSBC will suffer heavy losses.

"This is the worst case scenario, but it is not impossible."

Youde smiled helplessly: "If the Falklands War drags on for several months or even more than half a year, the outside world will definitely think that our country is no longer strong. At that time, no one is sure whether the mainland will want to take back Hong Kong through the army. In addition, other colonies have the same concerns. With our current strength, we can't stop the siege of multiple countries at all."

Shen Zhou was silent for a while and said: "So, the Falklands War is very critical."

"Downing Street thinks so, so this time the support for the army is very strong."

This time Youde came to Hong Kong to take up his post, and he came to Hong Kong in May. He received a special order. Once the situation of the Falklands War is unfavorable to Britain, his task is no longer to find a way to keep Hong Kong, but to maintain peace between China and Britain and ensure that China will not start a war.

When necessary, Youde can transfer Hong Kong to China through an agreement, thereby saving face for Britain and preventing the war from happening.

Shen Zhou asked, "Sir, what if we can defeat the enemy quickly?"

"Then I will not target Mr. Lin right away."

You De said, "He is the richest man in Hong Kong and the pride of the Chinese. Dealing with him will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people of Hong Kong. To deal with him, at least we have to find his weaknesses. Therefore, before dealing with him, I will first win over some neutral people and find a few weak ones to defeat them, so that everyone can see the consequences of supporting the mainland."

Shen Zhou couldn't help but remind: "Sir, if you don't deal with Mr. Lin, with Mr. Lin's influence in Hong Kong, I'm afraid it will affect more people to get close to the mainland, which is not a good thing."

"Boss, I said, he is not that easy to deal with."

You De still shook his head, and seeing Shen Zhou frowning, he had to say, "Mr. Lin is a supporter of the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party. If it is not necessary, the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party will not target the gold owner."

"This reason is really..."

Shen Zhou was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Lin Baicheng has been so supportive of the mainland, and has caused a very bad impact, damaging the interests of Britain, but the Conservative Party, which controls the power of Britain, doesn't want to deal with Lin Baicheng. I don't know whether the Conservative Party should be said to be selling out the interests of the country.

"Sir, how much political donations did Mr. Lin donate to the Conservative Party and the Prime Minister?"

Shen Zhou couldn't help asking. He felt that the amount should be quite large, otherwise the Conservative Party would not have the current attitude.

"Boss, how can I know this?"

Youde shook his head immediately. Although he knew a rough idea, he couldn't tell Shen Zhou about it.

"Sir, are you just going to let Mr. Lin support the mainland and ignore it?"

Shen Zhou was a little dissatisfied. He was still thinking that after Youde took office, he would vigorously suppress Lin Baicheng's company. Even if he couldn't completely suppress Lin Baicheng, he would curb Lin Baicheng's development and cause Lin Baicheng to suffer huge losses.

Shen Zhou was very satisfied with Youde's attitude when he first came, but now he actually told him that he was not going to deal with Lin Baicheng. He was just pretending before. The contrast between before and after made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"Of course that's impossible." Youde comforted him, "Don't worry, boss. Although I won't deal with Mr. Lin easily, I can still cause him some trouble. The Hong Kong government has plenty of ways to hold him back. And I said, if it's not necessary, the Prime Minister and the Conservative Party don't want to target him, but if he goes too far, or when it comes to a critical moment, he will be suppressed." "That's the best." Shen Zhou felt a little comforted and said, "Sir, we are all watching. Chairman Caesar and others are still looking forward to the Hong Kong government teaching Mr. Lin a lesson. If they knew that the Hong Kong government would not target Mr. Lin, they would definitely be dissatisfied." "If Chairman Caesar and others want to fight with Mr. Lin, I will provide help within a certain range. At least the Hong Kong government will not stand on Mr. Lin's side." Youde is the Governor of Hong Kong. He must not offend several Yingzi families easily. He must win them over to become his assistants. Otherwise, even if he is the Governor, it will be difficult to do things.

England is also a capitalist country. Even if Youde is the governor, he cannot order British companies to do things at will. Instead, he must cooperate with capital to get the support of capital.

"Just as you said, Mr. Lin is not that easy to deal with."

Shen Zhou shook his head when he heard this. It is not easy to find an opportunity to deal with Lin Baicheng. Once he wants to take action, he must at least withdraw tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. If he fails, he will at least lose hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Even several British families cannot accept such losses several times.

Therefore, if it is not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, several British families will not take action easily.

HSBC has the strength to compete with Lin Baicheng, but HSBC is a bank and cannot take action easily, otherwise it will only push other customers away.

"So, don't think about dealing with Mr. Lin for the time being."

Youde was not surprised to hear this. In Hong Kong, it is not so easy to deal with a capital with a net worth of at least tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

The British capital dare not take action, and if they want him to take the lead, they can forget about it.

On the other side, Lin Baicheng, who left Fanling Golf Course, first went back to contact Henry and asked Henry to help him arrange a private meeting with Youde, and try to get this done as soon as possible.

Lin Baicheng also planned to meet with Youde in private, and the two had a private chat.

This time, because of Shen Zhou's presence, the topic was dominated by Youde. Lin Baicheng could not bribe Youde in front of Shen Zhou, so he needed a private meeting with Youde, and he could say whatever he wanted at that time.

As for whether Youde was willing to meet with Lin Baicheng in private, this was not something Lin Baicheng could decide. However, if Youde refused, then Lin Baicheng would not have to think about winning over Youde, because he would not even give him a chance to meet.

…

Sunday, afternoon.

Lin Baicheng returned to the Lin residence and walked towards the badminton court. There are several courts in the Lin residence, and the badminton court is one of them.

At this moment, two beautiful figures were playing badminton in the badminton court.

When Lin Baicheng saw them, he couldn't help thinking that it would be nice if they could play badminton in miniskirts like in Japanese comics, with their skirts fluttering as they moved, which would definitely look more beautiful.

Seeing Lin Baicheng coming, one of the people on the court was distracted and didn't catch the flying badminton.

"Brother Cheng."

The one who called Lin Baicheng that was of course Guan Zhilin. She didn't care at all that she didn't catch the ball and left the court and walked towards Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng asked, "Jiahui, aren't you going to play anymore?"

"It's been a long time."

Guan Zhilin replied, and then said to the other person who came over, "Sister Linlin, let's stop here today and play next time, okay?"

Zhu Linlin smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's stop here today."

Lin Baicheng said to the two women, "Do you two want to eat something and take a rest?"

"Okay."

Guan Zhilin nodded immediately after hearing that.

"I won't bother you anymore."

Zhu Linlin glanced at Guan Zhilin. She knew that Guan Zhilin would definitely want to be alone with Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng smiled and said, "It's okay to bother you. Let's eat together."

"That's right, Sister Linlin. Let's go wash up first and then have some snacks."

Guan Zhilin said and pulled Zhu Linlin away. Seeing this, Zhu Linlin no longer refused.

Lin Baicheng followed the two women and separated from them after a while. He asked someone to prepare some snacks.

When Guan Zhilin and Zhu Linlin came out after washing up, the snacks were ready and served.

The three of them went to the garden together and sat in the pavilion to eat and drink while enjoying the scenery.

Maybe because they had just taken a bath, the two women looked refreshed and beautiful, a little more beautiful than usual.

It must be said that Zhu Linlin was able to become the champion of Miss Hong Kong. Her appearance is definitely top-notch.

However, to be honest, in terms of appearance alone, Zhu Linlin and Guan Zhilin are simply incomparable, especially since Guan Zhilin is now in her most beautiful twenties, and is very beautiful.

Guan Zhilin at this time can be compared with beauties of any era, and may be more beautiful than those beauties that are only recorded in history. Even if she is not as beautiful as those peerless beauties who are so beautiful that they can overwhelm the whole country, the difference is definitely not much, and at least she is qualified to be compared.

"Is Mr. Lin not busy today?"

Zhu Linlin asked curiously while eating snacks.

Lin Baicheng heard this and said, "Today is Sunday. If I am still busy today, should I rest?"

Zhu Linlin heard this and said, "Zhen Ting is very busy. He is still busy with company matters today."

"He is the successor, unlike me."

Lin Baicheng shook his head. Huo Zhenting took over from his father Huo Yingdong, and he has not yet officially taken over the Huo family. It is time for him to show his ability. If he does not show enough ability to take over the Huo family, even if he is the eldest son, he may not be able to take over smoothly in the end.

It is true that old families like the Huo family attach more importance to the eldest son inheritance system, but if the eldest son is a hopeless case, it is basically impossible for him to inherit the family business.

It is true that the eldest son inheritance system must be followed, but if the price is the destruction of the family foundation, then as long as you are not stupid, you will not stick to the eldest son inheritance system.

Lin Baicheng is the founder, and all the companies under his name were established by him. He can rest when he wants, and no one can control him. He has a very high degree of freedom.

Huo Zhenting is different. He wants to show that he is capable enough to inherit the Huo family, so he must be conscientious at work and dare not be careless. It is normal to work overtime on weekends.

Compared with the entire Huo family's industry, this little hardship is nothing.

Zhu Linlin sighed softly: "Alas, but I hope he can spend more time with me."

"In fact, everyone is the same. I don't have much time to spend with Jiahui."

Seeing this, Lin Baicheng said that he really had no special thoughts about Zhu Linlin, so he did not comfort Zhu Linlin, act like a good man, be her male best friend, etc.

Guan Zhilin pouted: "Brother Cheng, you also know, then why don't you spend more time with me."

"I will definitely try my best to spend more time with you."

Lin Baicheng immediately coaxed the beauties, which he is very good at now, or it can be said that the beauties are not really angry with him, so they are easy to coax.

Looking at the two of them, Zhu Linlin suddenly stopped envying Guan Zhilin, because she remembered one thing, that is, there are more than one woman around Lin Baicheng, as far as she knows, there are three other women besides Guan Zhilin.

Although Huo Zhenting has some bad points, he has one good thing, that is, there is only one woman, and she has become Huo Zhenting's legitimate wife. As for whether Huo Zhenting has other women in private, she believes that there are no other women, at least she doesn't know that Huo Zhenting has other women now.

Lin Baicheng doesn't know what Zhu Linlin is thinking, and he doesn't know whether Huo Zhenting has a woman outside. After all, he hasn't investigated Huo Zhenting. He is full and has nothing to do with Huo Zhenting.

For Lin Baicheng, he doesn't care whether Huo Zhenting has other women, just like he doesn't care whether Huo Zhenting and Zhu Linlin have a good relationship. Everything has nothing to do with him.

Only those who covet Zhu Linlin and want to steal her will care about their relationship. Lin Baicheng is not going to be a thief, so he naturally won't care.

It can even be said that if Rosamund Kwan and Zhu Linlin had not had a good relationship, Lin Baicheng and Zhu Linlin would not have chatted while eating like they do now. Unless Zhu Linlin came to the Lin residence with her husband Huo Zhenting, Lin Baicheng would not have invited her to play.

This time, Zhu Linlin came to the Lin residence to play badminton, and it was Rosamund Kwan who invited her to come.

After eating snacks, Zhu Linlin said goodbye and left. This time, neither Lin Baicheng nor Rosamund Kwan tried to keep her, but just sent her to the parking lot and watched her drive out.
