Chapter 909 Prince Charles Arrives in Hong Kong

After Yang Chen signed contracts with several major consortiums, the transactions between the two parties also surfaced at the same time, and were immediately reported through the media.

Huge transactions worth tens of billions of dollars, or even close to hundreds of billions of dollars, shocked everyone's attention.

Even in the 21st century, in the era of monetary inflation, businesses with a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars rarely occur in private enterprises except for trade between countries.

Not to mention, go forward forty years to the 1980s.

As soon as the news spread through the island country's media, Yang Chen's transactions with several major consortiums in the island country teleported and detonated the entire island country society.

Immediately afterwards, in a very short period of time, it spread throughout Europe, America, Asia and other countries. On the same day, news media around the world reprinted and reported it immediately.

Yang Chen's name once again spread to the ears of people all over the world.

At the same time, he once again refreshed people's understanding of wealth.

Many media, including those in island countries, do not know the specific details of the transactions between Yang Chen and several major consortiums. They only obtained a slightly closer transaction data from several major consortiums.

This lack of accurate data has instead given space for many media reports.

In the minds of the media, as long as some things are not illegal, they can fabricate them as much as possible to attract public attention, so as to increase the sales of their own newspapers and TV ratings.

Yang Chen had no way to deal with this.

The media in European and American countries sometimes even dare to criticize the government. It can be said that there is basically nothing they dare not do.

Facing the entire media power, he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.

After returning from the island country, Yang Chen did one thing except hiding from any media interviews every day, which was to withdraw cash from the United States.

Now that we have entered July, there are only three months left before the Governor-General announces that the Hong Kong dollar will be pegged to the US dollar and the free exchange rate will be cancelled.

As the Hong Kong dollar continues to fall against the US dollar, more and more people are beginning to follow suit. At this time, neither the British government nor the mainland government can anymore sit back and watch the situation continue to worsen.

The inland government has repeatedly emphasized that social stability and economic stability in Xiangjiang are the top priority. No matter what the British conditions are, the first point must be to ensure the prosperity and stability of Xiangjiang.

Otherwise, both parties will have nothing to talk about.

As for Hong Kong's special geographical environment, as an economic center linking Asia, the UK also does not want Hong Kong's economy to continue to deteriorate, leading to social chaos.

Because of this, it is easy to damage the overall image of the UK.

The British government is very important to the superficial image of the United Kingdom because it needs to maintain the huge Commonwealth system.

The Commonwealth system is related to many Commonwealth countries. If the British government deliberately leaves Hong Kong alone or deliberately causes trouble, then other Commonwealth countries are not fools and will definitely be more careful in the future to prevent the British government from causing mischief.

Since we cannot ignore it, history will continue to happen.

As more and more people follow the trend, especially some large companies that start to lose their composure, Hang Seng Bank is under increasing pressure. For this reason, Yang Chen has to continue to mobilize dollars from other places to maintain the normal operation of Hang Seng Bank.

"Chen, what do you think of me wearing this dress today?"

In front of Yang Chen, Xue Yufei, who had put on a black dress again, showed a gentleness that was different from usual. Her overall temperament was noble and cool, which was very different from her usual image.

In order to attend the cocktail party hosted by Governor Yoder tonight, she had already tried on several dresses.

As she took charge of the company longer, the strong woman in Xue Yufei became more and more obvious. Originally, Yang Chen thought that only He Chaoqiong would develop into a strong woman because of the influence of her father.

Now, Xue Yufei also has this tendency, which makes him doubt that the saying that the butt determines the head is absolutely correct.

Even his usual dressing style has gradually begun to change, which makes Yang Chen feel that his woman should be educated.

"Doesn't it look good?" Seeing Yang Chen staring at her without saying a word, Xue Yufei lowered her head and fiddled with her dress, trying to find out what made Yang Chen dissatisfied.

Yang Chen put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and walked to Xue Yufei, raised her chin and said: "You like black after all?"

"Isn't it possible?" Xue Yufei's innocent eyes.

"Of course not, the color doesn't suit you."

As if she saw that Yang Chen wanted to deliberately pick a fight with her, Xue Yufei instantly turned into a sensible little woman and said coquettishly: "Then help me choose!"

"Where's the dress I bought you for your birthday last time?"

"I've worn that dress once before."

“Can’t you wear it again after wearing it once?”

"Then wait, I'll go change clothes."



Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The venue for today's cocktail party was reserved by Governor Yoder.

In the past, most cocktail receptions held by the Governor-General's Palace, government officials, and Chinese and British businessmen were held at the Peninsula Hotel.

However, after Yang Chen acquired the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

After a period of renovation and internal adjustments at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many Chinese businessmen who preferred the Peninsula Hotel began to slowly gather at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Today’s reception is a little special

Just because the reception was hosted by Governor Youde does not mean it is special. In Hong Kong, it is nothing new for the Governor to hold a reception and invite the elites of high society to gather together.

The reason why I say it is special is because of the person standing on the stage speaking at this moment.

His identity is very special

His appearance surprised everyone, including Yang Chen.

Looking at Prince Charles who was giving a speech on the stage, Xue Yufei asked Yang Chen beside her with some curiosity: "Chen, why did Prince Charles suddenly come to Xiangjiang?"

Yang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really don't know this yet."

Yang Chen is also confused now. He didn't receive any news about Prince Charles's sudden arrival in Xiangjiang and his appearance at the reception.

Logically speaking, at this point in time, Charles, as the British prince, should not appear here.

After all, the Hong Kong issue between China and Britain has not yet been completely resolved. Although the top leaders of the two countries met last year, the two sides have not yet reached a final conclusion on the outcome.

Under normal circumstances, the British royal family will not easily interfere in such major political issues, because this is an issue that the government should deal with, not decided by the royal family.

Therefore, in most cases, the British royal family will not easily interfere in some politically sensitive issues, and even rarely express opinions.

"I have a hunch that it should be for you."

"Press?" Yang Chen looked at her in surprise.

However, Xue Yufei's eyes were not on him at this moment, let alone Prince Charles on the stage. Following Xue Yufei's line of sight, Yang Chen saw a familiar face walking towards them.
