Chapter 127 Comes in joy, and returns in defeat!

"Lawyer Zhao, I really trouble you this time!" Wu Guangyao said politely and respectfully to Zhao Bing.

The person in front of you, let yourself have to respect!

The realm of the two is not the same!

Zhao Bing is the kind of person who serves the country for the people. He dared to assassinate the regent of the feudal dynasty at the age of 18. He returned from studying in Europe and the United States, and the courts in the Mainland won the reputation of "Reborn Baogong"; during his tenure in Xiamen, he negotiated with Yingjili and took back Gulangyu. Concession; During the Anti-Ying War, led three thousand anti-Ying student troops in Guangxi Province to carry out guerrilla warfare against the enemy.

The essence of Wu Guangyao is to preserve oneself, first enrich oneself, and then consider serving the motherland and people.

"What's the trouble, I am a licensed barrister, and that's what I did!" Zhao Bing looked at Wu Guangyao. Although he had only been on Hong Kong Island for a few months, he had heard of the name of the person in front of him more than once, and it clearly belonged to Young talent, and still the top one.

"Anyway, you are a person of high morals, and I am honored to be able to respond to us!" Wu Guangyao said.

"I don’t understand one thing. You should not lack the hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, so why bother to go to court with the people from the four major foreign firms. Although I have only been on Hong Kong Island for a few months, I also understand the implications of these four major foreign firms. What, is it worth it?" Zhao Bing looked at Wu Guangyao and asked curiously.

What does    mean?

Wu Guangyao certainly understands that the four major foreign firms are all foreign firms that emerged before the opening of Hong Kong Island.

The most powerful is the Jardine International Company. On Hong Kong Island, there is even a saying, "Before Hong Kong, there was Jardine".

said that Jardine Foreign Trade first sold opium in the Mainland, and then participated in the planning of the Opium War. In the end, the Qing government indemnified Hong Kong Island.

After the opening of Hong Kong Island, these foreign firms played a decisive role in the development of the early years.

"It's worth it. Although Hong Kong Island is currently a British colony, more than 90% of Chinese people live. If I retreat, the status of Chinese businessmen will decline in the future, and foreign capital will feel that our Chinese businessmen are good for bullying; if I resist Now, Chinese businessmen will also understand that their rights need to be resisted instead of relying on human facilities."

"Just like when you brought more than 3,000 student soldiers to fight against Dongying, you know you are not the well-trained opponents of Dongying, why do you still choose to fight."

Seeing Wu Guangyao talk about his own history, Zhao Bing seemed slightly excited, apparently recalling the years of the War of Resistance.

"Okay, we need to fight, we can't hold back!"

Wu Guangyao suddenly remembered something and felt that he should make his own contribution.

"Lawyer Zhao, I heard that you are running a school?"

Zhao Bing was overjoyed, could it be that this person wants to donate to support the school!

"Well, several scholars from the Mainland recently are preparing for the New Asia College, which is a Chinese academy. At this time, under the rule of the English, Hong Kong Island has always despised Chinese culture. Some people ridiculed Hong Kong Island as a "cultural desert." Therefore, there are some things we must do too!" Zhao Bing said loudly.

"Okay, this is a good thing! I am willing to contribute 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a year to sponsor this school."

Zhao Bing was delighted, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars can at least expand the size of the college several times, this young man really values ​​education.

I heard that he also has a maritime college. Although it serves his own business, at least the students have really learned the skills.

"That's great. I called some friends that day to talk to you about the college's planning. From now on, you will be the founder of New Asia College!"

Wu Guangyao did not refuse. In the later stage, New Asia College will merge with several colleges to form the later Chinese University of Hong Kong Island.

It is necessary to supervise this university for life to avoid being used by foreign forces in the future.

When Wu Guangyao knew the opening time of Wheelock and Global Shipping, Wu Guangyao knew that George Madden would come to Hong Kong Island.

So people were sent to stare at the office of Far East Shipping. As soon as George Madden arrived, he started a new round of public opinion.

The original manuscripts have been written in advance. The article alluded to the arrival of George Madden, the head of Wheelock and Company, and its purpose is obvious, but it is to get through the relationship and let the law lean towards the Far East shipping.

So, on the fourth day before the trial, when George Madden got off the plane, he was known to Wu Guangyao.

Then a few newspapers began to report. Of course, many Chinese newspapers did not dare to offend Wheelock, they could only discuss the matter and refrain from making biased remarks. This was already giving Wu Guangyao face.

However, the Oriental Daily News, as the top five newspaper on Hong Kong Island, still has a lot of influence.

This made Wu Guangyao thankful that he started this newspaper and gave him a strength.

Among them, the two top Chinese newspapers, "Business Daily" and "Sing Tao Daily", directly reprinted this news, which made Wu Guangyao feel that the Chinese are still united.

George Madden didn’t know it, and took a rest for the night without rushing. He didn’t plan to visit some members of Parliament and the court until noon the next day.

As for the Governor, George Madden believes that such a small matter will not alarm the Governor!

However, George Madden soon felt abnormal. Although these councillors did not reject themselves, they did not speak happily, and they hesitated between words, and there seemed to be something unspeakable to hide.

What happened?

This Hong Kong Island is still not the Hong Kong Island of the four major ocean companies. There is only a Chinese businessman, but these people are still embarrassed?

Back to the company, he recruited the person in charge, Ino, and asked: "You told me about the latest situation on Hong Kong Island. Why do I feel that those councillors and judges are a bit embarrassed?"

Yinuo's heart chuckles, but he didn't expect the boss to hit a wall, and it seems that he was going to be scolded.

"At this time, the mainland is liberating Guangdong Province, and the Hong Kong government is worried that Hong Kong Island will not be protected, so the people's hearts are unstable. In addition, Global Shipping has recently used public opinion pressure to win the sympathy of Hong Kong Islanders. I am afraid that the Hong Kong government is not willing at this time. We are partial to Wheelock and HSBC is obviously on the side of global shipping, so this lawsuit is probably very difficult to win!"

George Madden was angry. When something like this happened on Hong Kong Island, this subordinate did not tell him in advance and made himself like a monkey, making a fool of himself in front of the Hong Kong government members and judges.

"Asshole! Why didn't you tell me earlier, since the situation on Hong Kong Island is like this, you still handed in the indictment? Are you a pig? You want to clean up Wu Guangyao, don't you know how to wait?"

Eno was so wronged. He wanted to withdraw the lawsuit. But, without saying anything on the phone, you threatened to come to Hong Kong Island to show Global Shipping a good look.

Aren't you wronged?

But Yinuo dare not argue with this Prussian-style boss, otherwise his job will not be guaranteed!

"It's because I didn't think about it well, I'm sorry, boss!"

"Hmph, I'm all gone, and I have nothing else to do. You can take care of it yourself! I hope that next time you do something, can you be more mindful and let me wipe your **** for everything!"

As the saying goes, come in with excitement, and return in defeat!

George Madden prepared to return to London in a desperate manner, and handed the mess here to Inno.

On October 14th, Guangdong Province was liberated and Hong Kong Island was shaken!

The colonial government mobilized warships and military planes to stand ready, and at the same time mobilized troops and generals on a large scale, intending to resist.

There is absolutely no problem with the strength of the mainland. Even if it is England's national strength, it is not an opponent of the mainland. There is no doubt about this.

Even the Republic of China supported by the United States has failed, not to mention a fallen family!

Even the United States led by the United States lost a few years later, let alone a prodigal!

It’s just that once Hong Kong Island is taken back now, if the West blocks the mainland in the future, how can we understand the outside world and how to bring in talents and equipment?

But this truth can only be understood by Wu Guangyao, a later generation, and those with great foresight!

As for others, they can only resign themselves to fate!

Tea restaurants, restaurants and other public gathering places are discussing this matter, and everyone is full of worries!

Why do these people seek refuge on Hong Kong Island? Isn’t it just fear?

So, people on Hong Kong Island are still afraid at this time!

Since this time, although the housing prices on Hong Kong Island have skyrocketed, no one has bought the land, making it a mess.

Wu Guangyao, who knows history, would give up such a great opportunity.

Within this year, reserve enough land and wait for 1954 to build tall buildings. Wouldn’t it be developed!

The land will start to pick up in 1951, when the mainland participates in the war.

Because at that time, the people of Hong Kong Island knew in their hearts that the mainland flawlessness would take care of the small Hong Kong Island, and I was afraid that it would not be recovered temporarily!

The lawsuit between Global Shipping and Wheelock was opened on time on October 16.

Outside the court, a lot of reporters gathered, they all wanted to know the first-hand news of this lawsuit.

In the courtroom, He Yuanzhang stood in the dock with a relaxed expression; it was in sharp contrast with the unnatural face of Yinuo in the plaintiff's seat.

"Plaintiff, please tell me about the incident and reasons you want to sue the defendant!"

"Yes, Your Honor. Far East Shipping sold two 10,000-ton freighters to Global Shipping at the end of June. When signing the contract, the defendant used British pounds to pay in installments. When the British pound depreciated, they deliberately took advantage of the contract and did not consider the exchange rate. Therefore, I ask the judge to consider the actual situation and coordinate the defendant to give us a certain amount of financial compensation."

"The defendant, what do you think?"

"I disagree. The defendant’s boss has just returned from London and communicated with the company in London. Many companies in London have this contract problem during the depreciation of the pound. However, everyone is in accordance with the contract. Legal effect, continue to implement the contract. The contract is not a trifle, and there is no sympathy and compassion. Therefore, Hong Kong Island, a place based on British law, cannot be treated specially." Li Bing said righteously.

At this time, the judge already knew that Global Shipping would not back down, otherwise it would not have done so much work.

First used public opinion, and then visited HSBC and the Chief Secretary. All this shows that their boss does not want to negotiate!

However, Wheelock is one of the four major foreign firms on Hong Kong Island and has made an indelible contribution to Hong Kong Island. If you don’t think about it at all, it is also unreasonable.

Although the law is ruthless, but people are compassionate!

The judge had a good relationship with George Madden. Although George Madden did not further persecute himself, the judge did not want Wheelock to lose too hard!

The lawyers of both sides debated for a while, and the judge and the jurors exchanged for a while!

"I pronounced that, based on the actual situation, Global Shipping needs to compensate for one tenth of the plaintiff’s loss, which is £6,500. The comprehensive reasons are as follows: This contract is an incomplete contract and there is no provision for exchange rate changes. What should be done? Both parties have certain responsibilities for this kind of matter. Therefore, the judgment is made in a civil lawsuit with friendly negotiation. If Global Shipping has any objections to this matter, the appeal can be postponed."

Such a penalty, the global shipping party is very upset!

But Wu Guangyao confessed that the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

As long as the compensation is less than one-third, Universal Shipping recognizes it!

Don’t waste your energy on this, it’s important to make money!

"Global shipping obeys the verdict!" Li Bing and He Yuanzhang and others exchanged a conversation and said.

Li Bing is still upset in his heart. £6,500 is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. How much is this!
