Of course, Zheng Yutong is not clear about Fok Yingdong's thoughts, but he is not very optimistic even if he is clear. After all, my daughter is very sad because of this, and it hurts to look at it. His daring daughter wouldn't be able to marry, and it was impossible for him to be too wronged for a man.
Dong Haoyun may have seen some of Huo Yingdong's meaning, and said with a smile: "Huo Sheng said it makes sense. Among these wealthy daughters, I also like Jiajia from your family the most."
Zheng Yutong: "You two don't look like matchmakers, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I also felt that Bao Zixuan is a good young man before, but you have seen what happened last time. Who knows how much he has been abroad all these years. What did you do!"
Sha Dantong had just finished speaking, and Huo Yingdong wanted to defend Bao Zixuan. Governor MacLehose has brought his wife to the hall. Seeing that the protagonist has arrived, it is difficult for everyone to say anything.
Today's MacLehose can be said to be very well-dressed, wearing the same clothes as when the Queen of England awarded him an award. And there are several medals hanging on the chest, so that people can see the past achievements. His wife also appeared in full costume, and a long skirt of medieval noble women complemented it perfectly.
He was very happy to see that many tycoons in Xiangjiang came to the scene. The only fly in the ointment is Bao Zixuan's absence, which is a pity!
MacLehose stood on the stage and said: "Respected ladies and gentlemen. Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for coming to the Governor's House to celebrate Christmas together. This may be the last Christmas I will spend with you as Governor. "
My term will end next year and I will be leaving Heung Kong. There may be new jobs and new challenges. But in my 10 years as Governor, I have made Heung Kong my second home. "
"The people here are very hard-working, and the business atmosphere is strong. I can't imagine what achievements will be made in the future, but my heart is to hope that Xiangjiang will become better."
"In the past 10 years, I would like to thank you all for your support and love. It is inseparable from your strong support to become the longest-serving Governor so far. I would like to thank everyone here again."
After speaking, he bowed to everyone in the audience, and the people below also remembered the warm applause, which was a recognition of MacLehose.
MacLehose witnessed the economic take-off of Hong Kong, and the economic growth during his tenure was unprecedented since the opening of the port. With his assistance, Heungkong has gradually transformed from light industry as its main focus to electronics industry, financial industry and commerce, and has become one of the "Four Asian Tigers". center, laying an important cornerstone. In addition, the "active non-interventionism" proposed by the Financial Secretary Sir Charles Ding-kei during MacLehose's tenure has also become the Hong Kong government's financial management philosophy and MacLehose's reliance on governance.
However, there are also criticisms from the outside world that MacLehose has not been able to completely solve core problems such as housing shortage, insufficient university degrees, uneven education quality, inequality between the rich and the poor, and traffic congestion. One after another social movements; as for the handling of the issue of illegal immigrants from mainland China and Vietnamese refugees coming to Hong Kong, there has also been a lot of controversy.
During his ten-year tenure, he successively established the Independent Commission Against Corruption, launched the "Home Ownership" program to help poor families solve housing problems, and the 9-year free education program to popularize primary and secondary education. Still very useful. It can be said that this is a very effective governor of Xiangjiang, at least much stronger than other governors.
After speaking, MacLehose began to communicate with the people below. This time his main target was the Chinese businessmen. After all, none of the British businessmen hoped that Hong Kong would return.
In fact, MacLehose was invited to visit mainland China in 1979, becoming the first post-war Hong Kong Governor to visit China in an official style. During his visit to China, he met with the high-level officials of Kyoto. During the meeting, he learned that the high-level officials of Kyoto were determined to take back Xiangjiang by 1997. As a result, this meeting opened the prelude to the subsequent negotiations on the future of Xiangjiang. After MacLehose returned to Hong Kong, he was worried about causing panic, and did not mention China's insistence on withdrawing Hong Kong's remarks.
Now we can only hope that the Xiangjiang merchants can fight against the Chinese side, after all, the British act of war is an act of war. Huaxia will never be afraid of the threat of the British. If so, what status will it have in the international community in the future.
MacLehose has taken great care of Hong Kong Chinese businessmen who have already handled immigration recently, but these people are still a minority after all. The main influence is very limited, and they are not top business tycoons.
This time, I just took this opportunity to continue to win over the Xiangjiang Chinese businessmen. It would be better for them to come forward to fight against China. It is also good if you are afraid or unwilling to apply for immigration. At least weaken China and strengthen the British economy.
And he had already chosen his target before the banquet, and Zheng Yutong was a good candidate. Chow Tai Fook started out with gold jewelry, and became stronger by relying on the real estate industry.
However, in mainland China, gold and silver are controlled substances, and the people have not fully let go. Zheng Yutong does not dare to invest anywhere in the gold and silver business no matter how daring he is, while diamonds and jadeite can only be produced in places controlled by the United Kingdom and the United States. This requires the use of British power, so he decided to win over Zheng Yutong.
Seeing the Governor walking towards him, Shaqiantong must restrain himself no matter how daring he is. Although MacLehose will leave Hong Kong next year, he still has to give him the respect he deserves. Otherwise, he will tell you a few words when he is handing over the job. What kind of good impression can the new governor have on you?
Zheng Yutong said to MacLehose, "Thank you, His Excellency the Governor, for inviting me to the Christmas charity dinner. Hong Kong is getting better and better under your governance."
Although I knew that Zheng Yutong was talking politely, it also made MacLehose happy at the time. At least Zheng Yutong did not reject him very much. This was a sensitive period, and many people were worried that too much interaction with MacLehose would lead to misunderstandings.
After all, everyone is Chinese, and Xiangjiang is about to face the negotiation of return, and no one wants to make troubles.
MacLehose: "Xiangjiang is prosperous because of good policies, and I am just an executor. Zheng Sheng has considered whether he can continue to implement a market economy after Heung Kong returns to the mainland; the mainland is a planned economy at this time. There is no need for so many gold and silver jewelry, precious metals are controlled substances, and Chow Tai Fook's business will not be so easy to do."
This sentence is a bit offensive. It clearly tells you that if Xiangjiang really returns to Chow Tai Fook's business, it will be difficult to continue to operate. Moreover, the British policy is beneficial to the development of you businessmen in Xiangjiang. After the Chinese mainland takes over, you can still make money as easily as you do now. It can be said that it is difficult.
Knowing that the Governor will not come to chat with him for no reason, after all, he is not so brave yet. Now it is Wang Zhan when he comes up, and he really doesn't know how to pick it up.
What MacLehose said is not without reason. Chow Tai Fook is different from other companies. You must have the support of the state, otherwise who would dare to buy you gold. I really don't know how to implement the mainland's policy~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, it has not exported any precious metals over the years.
Zheng Yutong: "Your Excellency the Governor is very reasonable. Can you give me a clear path?"
Seeing that the initial effect had been achieved, MacLehose said with a smile, "Now is the time for you businessmen from Xiangjiang to come forward. I hope you can unite as one to ensure the interests of your respective families."
"In addition, you need to do a few more preparations. The futures market in London, England, is very promising for Chow Tai Fook. Both futures and spot goods can meet the processing supply of jewelry. I hope you can think about it."
Seeing that the goal has been initially achieved, MacLehose walked towards the next goal. Today, he has to defeat them individually, after all, there is not much time left for him.
Seeing Zheng Yutong thinking again and knowing that his words have made a difference, that's fine. Waiting for an appointment before leaving, it is estimated that Zheng Yutong will have the idea of immigrating to the UK.
Of course, MacLehose knew that these Hong Kong tycoons had their own ideas to achieve such a high level of business. It can be said that they are all dragons and phoenixes, and the elites of the elites. He wants to convince the other party that it may cost a lot, but he is willing to bear the price, and the British Empire is also willing to bear it.
Since the end of World War II, Britain has lost too many overseas territories. Xiangjiang can't keep it at all. The only thing he can do now is the last fight. If he doesn't succeed, Xiangjiang's vitality will be seriously damaged. If I can't get it, then I'll destroy it. MacLehose is implementing the plan step by step, and as a British he has no choice.
