Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Leading Henry into the crowd, Sir Michael Sandberg highlighted several white executives from HSBC to him.

These executives are all influential figures in the financial world.

Henry shook hands and chatted with each of them, and the scene was very harmonious.

"This is Mr. Bao Yugang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Worldwide Shipping Group, and also the first Chinese director of HSBC."

He heard today that you were in Hong Kong, and he specifically asked me to bring him to see you.

After all the white people had been introduced, Sir Michael Sandberg began to introduce the only Asian person standing next to him.

In this day and age, racial discrimination is everywhere.

Although the old man in front of me had graying temples, his eyes still shone with wisdom, giving people a sense of shrewdness and competence.

"Mr. Getty, I've heard so much about you."

"Your Dream Office software is truly amazing."

Bao Yugang, dressed in a custom-made dark gray suit and an exquisite tie, smiled and shook hands with Henry in fluent English.

Henry smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Bao."

It is a great honor to receive your recognition.

Bao Yugang, the 29th generation direct descendant of Bao Zheng, was born in 1918 and was a prominent historical figure in Hong Kong in the 20th century.

His life's achievements can be roughly divided into two stages.

He entered the shipping industry in 1955 and became the world's top shipping magnate in just over 20 years, helping Hong Kong establish itself as one of the world's shipping centers, which can be described as a miracle.

Then, starting in 1978, my life officially entered another new stage.

In November 1978, he secretly visited Beijing, the capital of China, and met with Deng Xiaoping for the first time.

According to the "Chronicle of Deng Xiaoping (1975-1997)" published by the Capital Literature Publishing House, Bao Yugang was the overseas Chinese whom Deng Xiaoping met the most, a total of 16 times.

. . .

It's too sensitive, so I won't go into more detail.

In short, Bao Yugang is indeed very powerful now.

Even excluding other political factors and considering only personal net worth, Henry is now far behind.

(For now only)

"Mr. Bao, have you been to America recently?"

Dreamsoft has just completed its initial expansion in the US market, and has not even yet entered the European market.

The fact that Bao Yugang, an Asian tycoon, could know about the Dream Software undoubtedly indicates that he may have recently visited the United States.

"Haha, yes, Mr. Getty."

Upon hearing this, Bao Yugang smiled slightly, clearly having anticipated Henry's question.

"I did spend some time in the United States recently to handle some business matters."

Dream Office software performed exceptionally well in the American market; when I was there, it was mentioned in almost every business setting.

I must say, your product is exceptionally well made.

"Thank you very much for your compliment, Mr. Bao."

"I have always believed that excellent tools can truly make people's work easier."

It seems our efforts have paid off.

Henry nodded his thanks politely, but he did not become complacent; instead, he became even more humble.

After all, only they know what's going on in their own lives.

The success of Dreamsoft is almost entirely due to his memory of the development of the technology industry over the next few decades.

The connection to technology is not negligible, but it is negligible.

Seeing the two chatting so amiably, Sham Bi joined in the conversation: "Indeed, Mr. Getty."

Your Dream Software is not only changing the way we work, but it's also changing the global business landscape.

Mr. Bao, a visionary entrepreneur from Hong Kong, has often talked to me about the wonders of Dream Office software since returning from his trip to the United States.

I believe that exchanges between technology leaders like yourself and industry leaders like Mr. Bao will certainly inspire more ideas and collaborations that benefit society.

"Haha! Mr. Shen Bi, you flatter me!"

"What does the old man know about high technology?!"

"He's just here because he had the good fortune to meet a business tycoon who's leading the technological trend, and he's so arrogant and presumptuous that he's just spouting a few empty words!"

Bao Yugang smiled and waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of humility.

"Mr. Bao is too modest."

Henry laughed along with him.

He knew all too well that anyone who could win the title of shipping magnate in the cutthroat business world of the early days was no ordinary person.

Those who succeed in the cutthroat business world, surrounded by wolves, all possess ruthless methods and unique insights into their fields.

Bao Yugang could show his humility, but it would be truly laughable if Henry really regarded the other party as an ignorant native: "Your achievements in the shipping industry are admirable."

Although the problems encountered in different fields are not exactly the same, the methods for solving them often have commonalities.

Just as the shipping industry needs innovation and efficient management, the technology industry also needs continuous exploration and optimization.

I believe your valuable experience and wisdom in the shipping industry will certainly inspire our development in the field of technology.

As soon as Henry finished speaking, those who were secretly observing the scene couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Even though white people are in power today, Bao Yugang's achievements still command the respect of the vast majority of people in the world.

There's more to shipping than just shipping itself.

"Mr. Henry is too kind."

Bao Yugang's gaze was gentle yet firm. "The shipping industry is different from the technology industry. I don't understand programming or technical details."

However, I am well aware of the true value of a good product.

The Meimeng Office software improves work efficiency and simplifies many tedious processes, which is a great boon for managers in any industry.

......

"Haha! Since you two gentlemen are having such a pleasant conversation, perhaps we can arrange a more in-depth exchange to explore how to apply technology to more fields, such as the shipping industry."

Seeing that Henry and Bao Yugang were getting along too well, Shen Bi couldn't help but interject with a suggestion.

The reason Bao Yugang came today was simply because Shen Bi met with him this afternoon to discuss the recent business cooperation between HSBC and Worldwide Shipping.

Upon learning that Henry Getty had come to Hong Kong, the other party took the initiative to request to come and meet Henry.

Shen Bi didn't think much of it;

After all, in his view, Henry and Bao Yugang were completely different in terms of culture, age, industry, and so on.

Even if the two meet, it will only be a casual conversation and will not have any impact on HSBC's plans.

How could one miss such a great opportunity that could both enhance one's own banquet and give face to the shipping magnate?

Who would have thought that Henry would be so dismissive of the white people present, but get along so well with the Asians!

However, he did not express much dissatisfaction.

After all, HSBC is also a major shareholder of Worldwide Shipping!

"That's a great idea. I'm really looking forward to this exchange."

Henry and Bao Yugang exchanged a smile, both showing great interest in the proposal.

Henry was the first to agree.

Bao Yugang realized that he had overstepped his bounds tonight, so he changed the subject and said to Shen Bi beside him, "Since Mr. Getty is interested, then this old man will not refuse."

Mr. Sim Bi, please arrange a time for us!

"Of course, I am very honored."

Shen Bi smiled faintly and readily agreed.
