Of course, Huo Yingdong's thoughts are not clear to Zheng Yutong, but even if they are clear, they are not very optimistic. After all, my daughter is very sad because of this, and it makes people feel distressed to watch. His cowardly daughter is not too bad to marry, and it is impossible to wronged himself too much for a man.

Dong Haoyun may have seen some of Huo Yingdong's meaning, and said with a smile: "What Huo Sheng said is still very reasonable, among these wealthy daughters, I also like your family the most." ”

Zheng Yutong: "You two don't look like matchmakers, your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." I also felt that Bao Zixuan was a good young man before, but you also saw what happened last time, who knows what he has done abroad all these years!"

After Shark Guts just finished speaking, Huo Yingdong still wanted to defend Bao Zixuan. Governor MacLehose had already arrived in the hall with his wife, and seeing that the protagonist had arrived, everyone was not sure what to say.

Today's MacLehose can be said to be very well-dressed, wearing the clothes that the Queen of England wore when she bestowed him with the decoration. And there are also several medals hanging on the chest, so that people can look at the past exploits. His wife also appeared in full costume, dressed in the long skirts of medieval aristocratic women.

Seeing that many tycoons in Xiangjiang came to the scene, he felt very happy. The only fly in the ointment is Bao Zixuan's absence, which is a pity!

MacLehose stood on the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming to the Governor's Palace to celebrate Christmas Day, which may be my last Christmas as Governor. ”

"My term will end next year, and I will leave Hong Kong at that time. There may be new jobs and new challenges. However, in my 10 years as Governor, I have come to regard Hong Kong as my second home. ”

"The people here are very hardworking and have a great business atmosphere. I can't imagine what I can achieve in the future, but in my heart I hope that Hong Kong will become better. ”

"I would like to thank you all for your support and love over the past 10 years, and I would like to thank you again for your support in becoming the longest-serving Governor to date. ”

After speaking, he bowed to everyone in the audience, and the people below also remembered the warm applause, which was regarded as a recognition of MacLehose.

MacLehose witnessed the economic take-off of Hong Kong, and the economic growth during his tenure was unprecedented. With his assistance, Heung Kong has gradually transformed from a light industry to a focus on electronics, finance and commerce, and has become one of the "Four Asian Tigers", laying an important foundation for the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and its future development as Asia's international financial center. In addition, the "active non-interventionism" proposed by the Financial Secretary, Sir Tim Hart, during MacLehose's tenure, has also become the basis of the Hong Kong government's financial philosophy and MacLehose's governance.

However, there are also opinions from the outside world that MacLehose has consistently failed to completely solve the core problems of insufficient housing, insufficient university degrees, uneven quality of education, inequality between the rich and poor, and traffic congestion, and many public opinion also believe that he has failed to quickly respond to the successive social movements during his tenure.

During his tenure of more than 10 years, he established the Independent Commission Against Corruption, launched the "Home Ownership" program to help poor families solve their housing problems, and launched a nine-year free education plan to popularize primary and secondary education, which has been very useful for the economic development and construction of Hong Kong. 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, and this time his main target was the Chinese business community. After all, none of the British merchants wanted the return of Hong Kong.

In fact, in 1979, MacLehose was invited to visit mainland China, becoming the first Hong Kong governor to visit China in the post-war period. During his visit to China, he met with the top management of Kyoto, during which he learned that the top management of Kyoto was determined to take back Hong Kong by 1997, and this meeting opened the prelude to the subsequent negotiations on the future of Hong Kong. After MacLehose returned to Xiangjiang, he was worried about causing panic, and did not mention the remarks of Huaxia insisting on taking back Xiangjiang.

Now we can only hope that the merchants of Xiangjiang can fight against the Chinese side, after all, the British came forward to act of war. Huaxia will never be afraid of the threat of the British, if that will have any status in the international community in the future.

MacLehose has taken good care of the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong who have already immigrated recently, but these people are still a minority after all. Most of them have very limited influence, and none of them are top business tycoons.

This time, they just took advantage of this opportunity to continue to win over the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, and it was better for them to come forward to fight against China. If you don't dare or don't want to immigrate, it's not bad. At least to weaken China and strengthen the British economy.

And he chose the target before the banquet began, among which Zheng Yutong was a good candidate. Chow Tai Fook started with gold jewelry and became stronger in the real estate industry.

However, in mainland China, gold and silver belong to controlled substances, and the people have not yet been completely liberalized. Zheng Yutong now does not dare to invest in the gold and silver business no matter how bold he is, and diamonds and jadeite can only be produced in places controlled by Britain and the United States. This required the power of the British, so he decided to win over Zheng Yutong.

Seeing the governor walking towards him, shark gall is the same as if he was bold, and he had to restrain himself at this time. Although MacLehose will leave Xiangjiang next year, he still has to give due respect, otherwise if he says a few words to you when he hands over the work, the new governor will have a good impression of you.

Zheng Yutong said to MacLehose: "Thank you Your Excellency the Governor for inviting me to the Christmas Charity Dinner, Hong Kong is really getting better and better under your governance." ”

Although I knew that Zheng Yutong was saying polite words, but it also made MacLehose happy, at least Zheng Yutong did not reject him very much, this is a sensitive period, and many people are worried that having a relationship with MacLehose will be misunderstood.

After all, everyone is Chinese, and Xiangjiang is about to face return negotiations, and no one wants to make trouble.

MacLehose: "Hong Kong is prosperous because of good policies, and I am just an executor. Zheng Sheng considered whether he could continue to implement the market economy after Xiangjiang returned to the mainland, which was a planned economy at this time. At that time, there will be no need for so much gold and silver jewelry, where precious metals are controlled substances, and Chow Tai Fook's business will not be so easy. “

This sentence is a bit of a heart-wrenching, clearly telling you that if Heung Kong really returns, it will be difficult for Chow Tai Fook's business to continue to operate. Moreover, the British policy is conducive to the development of you Xiangjiang merchants, and after the Huaxia mainland takes over, you can still make money as easily as you do now, which can be said to be very difficult.

Knowing that the Governor would not come to talk to him for no reason, after all, his face was not as big as that. Now it's Wang Bang as soon as it comes up, and I really don't know how to pick it up.

MacLehose is not without reason, Chow Tai Fook is different from other companies. You have to have the support of the state, otherwise who would dare to buy you gold. The mainland's policy really doesn't know how to implement it, after all, it hasn't exported any precious metals in recent years.

Zheng Yutong: "What His Excellency the Governor said is very reasonable, can you show me a clear way." ”

Seeing that the effect had been initially achieved, MacLehose said with a smile: "Now is the time for you Xiangjiang merchants to come forward, and I hope you can unite to ensure the interests of your respective families." ”

"In addition, we need to make a few more preparations, and the futures market in London, England, is very promising for Chow Tai Fook. Whether it is futures or spot, it can meet the processing and supply of jewelry, I hope you can consider it carefully. ”

Seeing that the goal had been initially achieved, MacLehose walked towards the next goal. Today, he has to break each one, after all, there is not much time left for him.

Seeing Zheng Yutong think about it again, knowing that his words have already worked, then it's okay. Wait for an appointment before leaving, and it is estimated that Zheng Yutong will have the idea of immigrating to the UK.

MacLehose, of course, knew that these Xiangjiang tycoons had their own ideas for how to do business so far. It can be said that they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and elites among elites. It may cost him a lot to convince the other party, but he is willing to bear it, and the British Empire is willing to bear it.

By the end of World War II, Britain had lost too many overseas possessions. Xiangjiang can't keep it, and the only thing he can do now is to make a last stand, if he doesn't succeed, he will be greatly injured by Xiangjiang's vitality. If I can't get it, then I'll destroy it. MacLehose was implementing the plan step by step, and as an Englishman, he had no choice.
