I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 1130 Yang Ming's Recommended Candidate!
The death of Chief Secretary Yude still caused a great sensation in Xiangjiang.

In addition to reports from major newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong, there are also various reports.

Of course, now that Ude is dead, many people are paying attention to Ude's position as Chief Secretary.

Under normal circumstances, this position is Xiangjiang's second in command, determined by the royal family and the cabinet, and then announced by the Governor's Office.

However, the position of the governor is still much worse than that of the governor's mansion.

At this time, Zhong Yijie, who was only a senior consultant, did not expect that Ude died, like a pie falling from the sky.

This morning.

He suddenly received a call from the Secretary of the Governor's Mansion, informing him to come to the Governor's Mansion to meet the Governor MacLehose.

Meris had already called London and Yanjing, and sent someone to Yanjing to deal with Jude's death.

When Zhong Yijie hadn't had breakfast, he came to the governor's mansion by car, and was invited in by the governor's secretary.

Zhong Yijie accompanied Mai Lihao and his wife to have breakfast.

After breakfast.

In McLehose's study, McLehose looked at him and asked, "Consultant Chung, do you know that Mr. Ude, Chief Secretary, suffered a heart attack last night and passed away?"

The news that Yude left in Yanjing due to a heart attack, he had read Xiangjiang's newspapers before coming to the Governor's Mansion, and he had already learned about it.

"Mr. Governor, I just saw related news."

"Do you have any idea?"

what idea?
Actually.

Zhong Yijie is still a little different from other white people.

Zhong Yijie is an authentic Caucasian, but he left country Y for Asia very early, and came to Xiangjiang very early. He is very familiar with the culture of Xiangjiang and country Z.

In addition, his Cantonese is still very fluent.

Historically, after Yude died, he temporarily served as the governor of Xiangjiang.

However, it was only a temporary position because he was not very trusted by Country Y.

In addition to this, many people have been eyeing this position.

But now Zhong Yijie didn't expect that Sir Yang would recommend him to be the Chief Secretary after Jude had just died.

"Mr. Governor, I don't know what you mean?"

"Mr. Jude left suddenly, and the position of Chief Secretary was vacant. Someone recommended you for the position of Chief Secretary."

Was he recommended for the post of Chief Secretary?
This surprised Zhong Yijie even more.

"Mr. Governor, do you know who it is?"

"Sir Yang."

Sir Yang, chairman of Imperial Group?

Zhong Yijie had met Yang Ming several times, but they were not familiar with each other. What Zhong Yijie never expected was that Sir Yang would recommend him for such an important position.

Zhong Yijie still couldn't react. Even if Sir Yang recommended such an important position, he might not be able to take it.

"I have negotiated with Sir Yang, and I will push you to sit in this position. Moreover, after I retire next year, Sir Yang hopes that you can take over my position as Governor of Xiangjiang."

Of course the Governor of Xiangjiang?

Zhong Yijie was even more surprised.

Originally, the position of chief secretary was not easy, and not everyone could do it.

Now, Sir Yang is not only going to push him to this position, but even to push him to the position of governor.

"Mr. Governor, why? Sir Yang and I are not familiar."

Zhong Yijie really felt very strange.

With so many people, why did Sir Yang take a fancy to him?
"I don't know either. If you want to understand, you can go to Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa to meet Sir Yang in person."

Zhong Yijie already understood.

The two finished talking.

Zhong Yijie was still a little excited.

Who wouldn't want to sit in the position of the Governor's Mansion, the Oriental Pearl Tower?
Although there are less than 97 years left before 11, there is still a lot of time.

Zhong Yijie came out from the Governor's Mansion.

After getting into the car, he immediately drove to the villa in the mid-levels of Repulse Bay.

. . .

When Zhong Yijie came to Repulse Bay Banshan Villa for the first time.

He was taken to the garden by Lin Dezhong.

And just now Yang Ming had learned from the phone call from the Governor's Mansion that Zhong Yijie was coming to visit him.

Yang Ming came down from upstairs.

I saw Zhong Yijie sitting in the garden drinking tea.

A white man with glasses and a suit.

Zhong Yijie is only in his 50s, not yet 60 years old. According to his age, Yang Ming feels that with his support, the other party should be able to achieve 97.

After all, Mai Lihao has been in this position for more than ten years, and it is normal for Zhong Yijie to achieve 97.

"Sir Yang, hello."

"Mr. Zhong, hello."

The two parties did not speak English, but Cantonese.

It can be said that there are many white people in Xiangjiang who know how to speak Cantonese, but there are very few people who can speak as fluently as Zhong Yijie.

After shaking hands, sit down.

When Yang Ming asked someone to bring morning tea to Zhong Yijie, he simply finished the morning tea with him.

Go upstairs to the study.

Zhong Yijie looked at Yang Ming and said, "Sir Yang, I didn't know you well before, why did you push me to this position?"

Before that, Yang Ming had only met the other party a few times in public, and the two parties were indeed not familiar with each other.

But why recommend him?
It is because of this person, compared to Mai Lihao, I am afraid that he is better to cooperate with him in Xiangjiang.

It can be said that it is getting closer and closer to 97 now.

Historically, the two subsequent governors of Xiangjiang both came to Xiangjiang to make troubles, and Yang Ming didn't want that.

What's more, it is very different now and in history.

Xiangjiang's main British capital, except Taikoo, was basically swallowed by him.

The Chinese capital in Xiangjiang that was supposed to be withdrawn from Xiangjiang and transferred to other places was basically controlled by Yang Ming.

In addition, the Imperial Group and Yang Ming have penetrated into every aspect of Xiangjiang.

Domestic water, domestic electricity, the land of Xiangjiang, the port of Xiangjiang, etc., it can be said that Yang Ming and the Imperial Group can be seen in almost all of them.

So much so that when the queen came to Xiangjiang this time, she also attached great importance to Yang Ming's suggestions and ideas.

After all, the influence of Yang Ming and the Imperial Group in Xiangjiang has already surpassed that of the Governor's Mansion.

"Mr. Zhong, because I think my interests are the same as yours."

Alignment of interests?
Zhong Yijie was a little surprised.

The other party still didn't understand.

However, Yang Ming is quite familiar with Zhong Yijie from his previous life.

"Sir Yang, I still don't understand."

"You'll understand later."

This is the first private meeting between the two parties.

In fact, after this, it meant that Zhong Yijie was on Yang Ming's side.

. . .

On the night of December 12, Jude's body was flown back to Xiangjiang.

On December 12, the Government House held a condolence ceremony for Sir Jude.

On the morning of December 12, the Governor’s Mansion held a funeral. The funeral was held in the form of the highest honor, and his coffin left the Governor’s Mansion under the escort of several representatives of the Governor’s Mansion. The coffin arrived at St. John’s Cathedral, and then a resting service was held in the Cathedral.

After Jude's body was cremated, his ashes were brought back by his family to the cemetery of Canterbury Cathedral in Country Y for burial.
