Chapter 134 The World Shipping King Finally Waited for

Another weekend, the first weekend after the National Day, Li Changhe came to the Beijing Hotel in the morning as usual.

The bigger the event, the calmer you need to be.

Li Changhe came to the office. There were few waiters inside.

Only Wu Xiaoyu and another waiter were there.

"Why are there so few people today?"

After Li Changhe came in, he asked curiously.

"Teacher Li, don't mention it. There are too many guests coming recently."

"Yes, there are many reception groups from abroad this year, all for various inspections."

"They are all on duty on various floors. We two have just replaced them and will have to go up again in a while."

"Now the rooms are full, and it's impossible to coordinate."

"Last night, a group of people from Hong Kong Island came over at midnight and asked us to arrange a room for them. But where are the rooms now?"

"Manager Qi finally managed to arrange a room for the wealthy couple after a long time, and the rest of the people who came with them were arranged to stay in other hotels."

Wu Xiaoyu gossiped with another waiter and Li Changhe.

They keep a lot of information secret from outside, but they chat about it among themselves. After all, it would be very frustrating if you don't share gossip.

"Rich man?"

After listening to this, Li Changhe was thoughtful. If it turned out to be the right person, it should be that person.

"Yes, it is said that he is a wealthy man in Hong Kong Island, a shipping magnate, and it was arranged by Director Lu of the Tourism Bureau himself."

"But they came too hastily, and it wasn't a foreign affairs reception mission that was prepared in advance, so there weren't enough rooms for them to coordinate."

Wu Xiaoyu said weakly.

"The shipping tycoon of Hong Kong Island? Let me guess, is his surname Dong? Or Bao? Or Huo?"

Li Changhe asked with great interest at this time.

"Hey, Mr. Li, how did you guess that? His last name is Bao. It's recorded in the registration book as Bao."

At this time, Wu Xiaoyu took out the registration book curiously and started to look at it.

Although the Capital Hotel is a foreign reception hotel, the hotel also has to keep good records internally, including which guests checked in and which personnel, and there are registration books.

"Bao Yugang?"

Li Changhe asked in surprise at this time.

"Yes, it's Bao Yugang. The traditional Chinese characters are a little hard to read. Teacher Li, do you know him?"

Wu Xiaoyu and the others asked Li Changhe in surprise.

Li Changhe shook his head: "I don't know him, but there are only a few shipping tycoons in Hong Kong, so it's easy to guess."

"But I'd love to meet him."

"That won't do, Mr. Li. We can't take the initiative to meet guests, and neither can you!"

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Wu Xiaoyu hurriedly spoke to Li Changhe.

Although they were waiters at the Beijing Hotel, they were not allowed to contact the visiting foreign guests at will.

Unless the other party takes the initiative to approach them, otherwise, it would be a serious mistake if they take the initiative to contact them.

"Don't worry, I know I can't take the initiative to contact you. I have to apply to the foreign affairs department for this matter."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Ah? Teacher Li, do you really want to meet this Mr. Bao?"

"What's your business with him?"

Wu Xiaoyu asked in shock at this time.

"Of course there's something going on, it's a big deal!"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and apply."

After Li Changhe finally got the answer he wanted, he immediately left the Capital Hotel.

That’s right, the person he has been waiting for is Bao Yugang.

In fact, ever since Director Lu’s name appeared, Li Changhe knew that Bao Yugang would be here soon.

Because Bao Yuguang and Director Lu are relatives, the other party came under the pretext of visiting relatives.

As for why Li Changhe knew it so clearly, the reason was very simple, because this Mr. Bao was the "golden finger" of the novel he had just finished writing in his previous life.

His novel was based on the Bao family.

In this life, Li Changhe wanted to deal in foreign exchange, and after much thought, he decided that he had to rely on Mr. Bao.

He knew that before the reform and opening up, Mr. Bao would definitely come to the mainland and stay at the Beijing Hotel.

So he found an opportunity to enter the Capital Hotel in advance, just to have a "reasonable" channel to know the information about Mr. Bao's arrival.

After all, this person came here under the pretext of visiting relatives, and it is impossible for you to know the information about his visit for no reason.

And now that the "reasonable" information channel has arrived, the next step is to have contact, and it must be open and aboveboard.

Li Changhe never thought of contacting Bao Yugang privately, because he knew that even if he did, the possibility of his plan succeeding would be infinitely close to zero.

To put it bluntly, Li Changhe, an insignificant nobody, is nothing in Bao Yugang's eyes today.

They are here to visit relatives and they don’t know you at all.

As a student from the mainland, you secretly go to visit a wealthy man with whom you have never had any contact. Even if you have a legitimate reason, few people will believe you.

Therefore, what Li Changhe wanted at the Beijing Hotel was just an information channel. After knowing this channel, he had to visit openly.

In the CCTV building, Li Changhe hurriedly found Teacher Wang Chongqiu because Zhu Lin had gone out to film with Yang Jie.

After telling teacher Wang Chongqiu that he had urgent business to attend to, Li Changhe hurried back to Peking University.

After returning to Peking University, Li Changhe plunged into the library.

He was in a hurry because he had to come up with a simple business plan in the shortest time possible.

However, this plan cannot be written in advance because this business plan is too targeted.

It can be said that this business plan was prepared by Li Changhe specifically for Bao Yuguang.

Fortunately, although he did not write it in advance, Li Changhe had already prepared a lot of information and data in advance. He also took notes on a lot of information and journals in the Peking University Library.

In the study room of the library, Li Changhe was writing furiously and carefully on the letter paper.

He had conceived this business plan many times in his mind, but when writing it, he still had to revise it from time to time.

It was evening and the library was about to close, but Li Changhe still hadn't finished writing.

But it doesn’t matter, he has prepared all the necessary books.

"Teacher, I want to borrow these journals back. I have a document that needs to be sorted out. Can I return it tomorrow morning?"

Li Changhe asked seriously as he came to the library with a few books he needed.

"No, some of the publications here are prohibited from being borrowed and cannot be taken out of the library." The library teacher flipped through the books in Li Changhe's hand and shook his head.

Some books in the library can be borrowed, but some are not allowed to be borrowed, and there is nothing he can do about it.

"Then teacher, can I use it in the library instead of taking it out? I really need it urgently and time is very tight."

The library teacher naturally recognized Li Changhe, after all, he was also a famous person in the library. However, no one had seen Li Changhe so anxious to use these books before.

"Changhe, you've never been so anxious to borrow books before?"

"Teacher, this is an emergency and I am very pressed for time. The literature club has a classroom in the library. I will stay there tonight to finish the materials and will not take them out of the library. Is that okay?"

Li Changhe said seriously to the teacher in the library.

Seeing Li Changhe's serious attitude, the library teacher sighed and said, "Okay, but we've agreed that you can't take it out of the library. You can only use it in the room over at the literature club. I'll check it out in the evening."

Celebrities do have some special privileges.

Furthermore, they have single faculty members who have duty rooms in the library and can conduct random inspections at any time during the night.

"No problem, I definitely won't take it out."

Li Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, and then after the teacher finished taking the registration, he took it to the literature club's classroom.

As the vice president, Li Changhe has the key to this classroom.

For the classrooms that remain in the library, besides the fact that books cannot be taken out, Li Changhe has another consideration, and that is electricity.

In this day and age, even at Peking University, it is difficult to achieve uninterrupted power supply around the clock, and the power is cut off in the dormitories at night.

But the only exception is the library, because there are many rare books inside, there is no electricity limit in the library, but the library will be closed at night.

Li Changhe came to the classroom and turned on the lights inside. Although it was a bit conspicuous, there was nothing he could do about it.

Time is limited, so this is all he can do.

Then, sitting at the table in the literature club, Li Changhe continued to write seriously.

During this time, the library teacher on duty came over and took a look. When he saw that it was Li Changhe inside, he didn't say much.

In this way, Li Changhe stayed up all night and finally finished writing the business information plan at dawn.

Later in the morning, Li Changhe went to return the book first, and then early in the morning, he went directly to Yandong Garden with the business information plan.

There are some old buildings in the East Garden, which are used to house many professors. Among them, Professor Chen Daisun, the head of their Economics Department, lives here.

Li Changhe came to Professor Chen Daisun's door and knocked gently. Not long after, the door opened.

He is a middle-aged man, and he is from another family living in Dai Lao's house.

The house that was allocated to Mr. Dai was an old house with two bedrooms and a living room, but because Mr. Dai was single and not married, housing in the school was particularly tight.

Finally, one of the rooms in Mr. Dai's house was allocated to another teacher couple, namely Mr. Zhou and his wife.

So now, two families live in Mr. Dai’s house.

Of course, the school may have its own considerations. Although there is one more family, it can be regarded as finding a caregiver for Mr. Dai in disguise.

After all, Mr. Dai is already 78 years old and lives alone, so the school may not be at ease with him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am a student from the Department of Economics. I am looking for Mr. Dai."

Li Changhe saw Teacher Zhou opening the door and spoke to him respectfully.

"Come in, Mr. Dai just came back from outside."

Teacher Zhou said with a smile.

Li Changhe then walked in and came to Dai Lao's room. At this moment, he was writing something in front of the desk.

Hearing the noise, Chen Daisun looked up and saw that it was Li Changhe. A smile appeared on his thin face.

"Is it a long river?"

Although Chen Daisun was the head of the Economics Department, he did not teach Li Changhe and others very often.

During the entire last semester, he only taught one class to Li Changhe and his classmates.

Nowadays, Chen Daisun’s main task is still to supervise graduate students, but he knows all the students of the Class of 77 of the Economics Department, especially Li Changhe.

"Mr. Dai, I wrote a business plan last night and I would like to ask for your help."

Li Changhe said to Chen Daisun seriously.

Chen Daisun looked at him curiously, then reached out and took the plan handed over by Li Changhe.

"On the counterattack and acquisition of British-owned industries by Chinese commercial capital in Hong Kong"

After Chen Daisun took it, he glanced at the title and read it carefully without saying anything.

About half an hour later, Chen Daisun finished reading it and then asked Li Changhe curiously: "Why did you suddenly write this?"

"Mr. Dai, I was at the Jingcheng Hotel yesterday and unexpectedly received a piece of news that Mr. Bao Yugang, the Chinese shipping magnate from Hong Kong Island, is here."

Li Changhe said seriously.

"When I took Professor Lu's economic geography course, I studied the economy of Hong Kong Island because I felt that the economy of Hong Kong Island combined the characteristics of both China and the West."

"Its land nature has both Western capitalist private ownership and Eastern collectivism. I think the economic model derived from it is of great reference value to us."

"But during this research, I discovered a major flaw in the positioning of British capital in Hong Kong's business, perhaps because of its long history as a colonizer."

“In the past, its strength in integrity covered up its commercial flaws, but now, it has been exposed.”

"However, there are not many people in Hong Kong who are qualified and courageous enough to break through the loophole of British capital. I think Mr. Yu-kong Pao is one of them, so I wrote this business plan and wanted to discuss it with Mr. Yu-kong Pao."

Li Changhe said to Chen Daisun seriously.

Chen Daisun nodded, and then said, "So you want the school to send this plan to Mr. Bao?"

"If possible, I would like to apply to the foreign affairs department on behalf of the school. I would like to meet with Mr. Bao and have a personal interview."

Li Changhe said seriously.

If it was just a plan, there would be no point in him handing it over.

This plan begins with the Wharf, which is the Wharf that has been so well-written in novels of later generations.

If Li Changhe remembered correctly, Bao Yugang should have already started the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and Li Jiacheng had already completed the transaction with Bao Yugang for the stocks in his hands.

It is even possible that both parties have reached an agreement on the transaction regarding Hutchison Whampoa.

After all, Li Changhe was a step slow in time.

But there was no way, his next plan required Bao Yugang's help.

Therefore, even if he was a step slower, Li Changhe had to seek Bao Yugang's approval as much as possible, so the best way was to meet and talk in person.

These days, let’s not even mention the integrity consequences of having private contact with foreign guests.

Li Changhe only said that he met Bao Yugang secretly in private. Even if the two parties had talked about it, Li Changhe estimated that Bao Yugang would not take it too seriously, because it was a secret meeting and Li Changhe only represented Li Changhe, who was at best a relatively outstanding young man.

However, the formal meeting with Bao Yugang was different because I applied through Peking University’s Foreign Affairs Department.

At that time, Li Changhe represented the Economics Department of Peking University and even represented young students from mainland China. The meaning here was absolutely different.

Even if the official does not have this intention, Bao Yugang himself may have to consider it seriously.

Throughout history, this has always been the case when taking advantage of opportunities!
