Chapter 912 – Chris Patten1

“Hello, is this Mr. Feng Yu?”

Feng Yu was curious. Not many people know his Hong Kong’s phone number, and he doesn’t give out this number. This is an unfamiliar number, and from his accent, his mandarin is very poor.

“Speaking. Who’s that?”

“I’m Patten. I would like to meet you. When is it convenient for us to meet?”

Huh? Patten? Why is this name so familiar? He sounds like a foreigner with a strong Cantonese accent. Wait… the Hong Kong governor’s name is Patten.

Feng Yu thought for a while. All of his investments in Hong Kong are legal and had not stepped on anyone’s toes. He had also not done anything that harmed Hong Kong.

Is the Governor looking for trouble, or is this meeting a good thing?

“How about tomorrow afternoon? Quanjude at XXX road, private room no. 3. I will treat you to an authentic Chinese lunch.”

“Alright. I will be there at 11.30 am. I am looking forward to meeting you.”

After hanging up, Feng Yu called Li Zekai. “Brother Kai, I need to ask you something. Do you know Patten?”

Li Zekai was stunned. Chris Patten, Hong Kong’s Governor. How can he not know him? But why is Feng Yu asking about him? Do Feng Yu want to meet Patten?

Why does Feng Yu want to meet him? Hong Kong will be handed over to China soon, and there will be a new governor. This Patten will be returning to the UK.

Furthermore, although the new Governor of Hong Kong will be elected, the Chinese Government is the one who appointed the Governor. Feng Yu should know about this, right?

“You are talking about our current Governor? Why? You want to know him?”

“No. He is the one who wanted to meet me.” Feng Yu told Li Zekai about Patten’s phone call.

“Brother Feng, are you holding on to Hong Kong’s passport?” Li Zekai asked.

“That’s right. It’s more convenient to travel overseas with the Hong Kong passport.”

“I think I can guess why Patten wants to meet you. He should be thinking of inviting you to take up British nationality.” Li Zekai said.

Huh? Invite me to become a British?

Feng Yu thought about it and felt it was possible. Just his Wind and Rain Consulting Firm’s assets is not a small amount. If he becomes British, UK will get a large investment.

Although Feng Yu is holding a Hong Kong passport, he had never thought of himself as a Hong Konger and had never thought of migrating.

“Thank you. I thought he wanted to see me for something important.”

“Although he is currently the head of Hong Kong’s Government, his powers are limited. You don’t need to treat him as if he is some bigshot.” Li Zekai replied.

To Li Zekai and the Li Family, Hong Kong’s Governor is nothing. If the Governor were to fall out with the Li Family, it would be the Governor getting replaced, and nothing will happen to them.

“Ok. Brother Kai, are you free to accompany me to meet him tomorrow?” Feng Yu had never met any Hong Kong Government Officials before and knew nothing about them. It would be better if Li Zekai is around.

Fu Guangzheng had gone to China again, and Fu Guangwei is not reliable. Thus, Feng Yu can only invite Li Zekai.

“Sure. I have nothing on tomorrow also. Let’s meet for lunch.”

……

The private room’s door was pushed open, and a Caucasian with white hair entered. He was dressed casually and looked nothing like the Governor, and more like an old man from the neighborhood.

Patten’s assistant put down his briefcase and left the room.

“Mr. Feng, I’m Patten. Nice to meet you, and I hope we can be friends.” Patten noticed Li Zekai was sitting beside Feng Yu. What is the second son of the Li Family doing here?

Patten was appointed the Governor in 1992 and is very popular among Hong Kong residents. But Li Zekai said Patten is a politician and is better at acting compared to all the previous governors.

This Governor is anti-China and had secretly spread conspiracy theories about mainland China. He had approved some of the news reported on TV, which was biased and focused on the negative news on China.

Since China and the UK signed an agreement on Hong Kong’s return, both governments had a good relationship. But after Patten started democracy reforms in Hong Kong, relationships between China and UK deteriorate.

Why didn’t Hong Kong have democracy reforms when it was under British rule? Why must it be implemented when Hong Kong is about to be returned to China?

The British wanted to weaken the Chinese Government’s control over Hong Kong and secretly appoint a group of people to take over control of Hong Kong’s Government. This way, the British will still have control over Hong Kong.

Democracy and representing the Hong Kongers are all bullshit. Li Zekai said the additional representatives in the Hong Kong’s council are either from the influential families or people supported by the British Government.

Are you representing the people? That’s what the residents of Hong Kong believed! Of course, the representatives must do something to satisfy the residents, but it’s more for their benefits.

Li Zekai had explained to Feng Yu a lot about Hong Kong’s Government and Patten. He also mentioned about Patten’s affairs.

Feng Yu’s impression of Patten had declined after what Li Zekai said.

Feng Yu stood up and shook Patten’s hand. “I had wanted to meet a long time ago.”

“Mr. Feng, just call me Patten will do. Mr. Li Zekai. I didn’t expect to see you here today.” Patten greeted Li Zekai.

“I am going to have lunch with Brother Feng, and he said he has a friend joining. I also did not expect his friend to be you.” Li Zekai’s tone was casual.

Superman Li is someone well-received by the Chief Architect and the Queen. When the Queen met Superman Li, she had mentioned that if Superman Li wants, he will be the next Hong Kong’s Governor, or he can appoint someone to be the Governor.

That’s why the Governor of Hong Kong is nothing to Li Zekai.

Patten is a politician and is not from any noble family. He smiled at Li Zekai, ignoring his casual tone.

“It’s my pleasure to dine with Mr. Li and Mr. Feng.”

Li Zekai gave Feng Yu a proud look. Did you hear that? This old man places my name before yours! This shows that Patten has no foresight!

Although Li Zekai is proud, he knew his assets are nowhere near Feng Yu. But before Patten arrived, he told Feng Yu that this Governor would have more respect for him than Feng Yu.

It was exactly what Li Zekai said.

Feng Yu pressed a button on the wall, and the waitress entered. Feng Yu nodded to her, and the food was served.
