With the arrival of March, the people of Xiangjiang are still enjoying the benefits of the rapid development of Xiangjiang, and both the property market and the stock market in Xiangjiang have risen sharply.

And only the upper-class elites of Xiangjiang know that Xiangjiang is about to wind. As the date of the Governor of Xiangjiang's visit to the mainland approached, the major families in the upper echelons of Xiangjiang were constantly communicating with each other.

On 15 March, less than half a month before the Governor of Hong Kong's visit to the mainland, Li Guangyu received an invitation to a dinner held by the Governor's Office on the evening of 18 March.

Li Guangyu only felt that this invitation was so hot, and he was about to visit the mainland, and at this time, he invited them, and Li Guangyu didn't think it was a good thing. Even so, Li Guangyu can't help but go, if he wants to develop in Xiangjiang, he can't help but give face to the Governor's Palace.

Time passed in a flash, and at six o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu, accompanied by bodyguards, rushed to the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace.

When Li Guangyu walked into the banquet hall, there were already many people inside, but Li Guangyu didn't see a few big people. Could it be that he came early, Li Guangyu thought secretly. But Li Guangyu looked at the time, it was less than half an hour before the banquet time, so it wouldn't be that all the bigwigs were pressing.

While Li Guangyu was still thinking about something, the staff of the Governor's Mansion found Li Guangyu.

"Li Sheng, welcome to you!"

"You're welcome, the governor is invited to a banquet, how can I not come?" said Li Guangyu.

"Li Sheng, do you have time now? The Governor wants to see you in person. ”

"Yes, please lead the way. Lee Kwang Woo replied.

Immediately, the staff took Li Guangyu to the small reception inside.

Li Guangyu was puzzled just now why the bigwigs in Xiangjiang didn't come, it turned out that they were all invited here by the governor.

After Li Guangyu came in, he said to MacLehose: "Mr. Governor, thank you for the invitation. ”

MacLehose smiled and said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, now you are the idol of countless young people in Xiangjiang, and I often listen to your legend, I am very happy that you can come to this banquet held by me." ”

"Mr. Governor has complimented me, and I have been a little luckier, and I am far from the elders who will sit down again. Li Guangyu replied.

"Li Sheng, you are too modest, you find a seat to sit down first, and we will wait for a while. MacLehose said to Lee Guangyu.

Li Guangyu found a back seat and sat down.

When MacLehose saw Li Guangyu sitting so far back, he said: "Li Sheng, there are so many seats in front, why are you sitting so far back, it just so happens that no one is sitting in the position on my left, you sit here." ”

After listening to MacLehose's words, Li Guangyu only felt that today's banquet was full of malice towards him. Looking at some of the people on the right and left sides of the Governor, it is obvious that on the right hand side of the Governor are the heads of the British-funded consortia and the political circles, while on the left hand side are the heads of the major families in Xiangjiang.

And now the governor asked Li Guangyu to sit in the first position on his left, which is not to push him to be the first family of the Chinese in Xiangjiang. How dare Li Guangyu go, don't look at him now that he is the richest Chinese in Xiangjiang, but when it comes to family heritage and prestige in Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu is too far behind.

Li Guangyu immediately said: "Thank you for the kindness of the governor, I am soft-spoken, and there are all the elders here, how can I go beyond and sit in front of the elders?

When MacLehose heard Li Guangyu say this, he didn't force it anymore. Originally, today he just wanted to lick and block the charter boat king, and by the way, he would make some trouble for Li Guangyu, the new richest man in Xiangjiang.

MacLehose is very clear about the current thoughts of the major families in Xiangjiang, don't think how secretive the major families are, it is still easy for the governor to know about some of the major families. MacLehose is very clear about Lee Guangyu's approach of being a centrist on the surface, but secretly biased towards the mainland. However, Li Guangyu did not directly single out that he wanted to support the mainland, so it is not easy for the current governor to suppress Li Guangyu.

Nowadays, Xiangjiang is really a mixture of dragons and snakes, and the major forces are clashing in turns, and Li Guangyu sometimes really wants not to participate in these activities, but if he wants to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang, he has to deal with it carefully.

In the following ten minutes, the heads of the top families in Xiangjiang all came to the small meeting to listen, of course, the Huo family and the Hu Yinxiang family did not come, because the governor did not invite Huo Yingdong and Hu Yinxiang at all.

After the charter king took his seat, MacLehose said: "Thank you for attending this banquet I organized, and I invite you to come today mainly to talk about the future of our Hong Kong River. ”

"We all know that there are negotiations between China and Britain on the Xiangjiang issue, and I will be going to meet with the leaders of China at the end of this month. As for the future of Hong Kong, as the current elite of Hong Kong, I would like to hear your views. MacLehose said to everyone.

I don't know how MacLehose consulted with those people in the British-funded consortium, anyway, none of the representatives of the major foreign banks have spoken. This is obviously MacLehose's desire to force the heads of the Chinese-funded families to make some statements, and at the same time let the heads of the British-funded consortium take a look at the attitudes of these families.

And at this time, the charter boat king, who was sitting first among the Chinese, knew that it was time for him to speak again, who told him to sit in this position?

The charter king said to MacLehose: "As for the future of Xiangjiang, this is a matter decided between the Chinese and British governments. As businessmen, we hope that the two countries can maintain the stable development of Hong Kong. ”

In the end, the charter king said: "Of course, as businessmen, we still pay attention to the spirit of contract. ”

When MacLehose heard this, he knew the attitude of the charter king, what is the spirit of the contract, doesn't it mean that the Xiangjiang lease should return to the mainland when it expires.

MacLehose also said: "The economic system implemented on the mainland is completely different from the current system in Hong Kong, so everyone must think more about it. ”

After listening to MacLehose's words, the faces of the following family heads also became solemn, and it was impossible to say that there was no worry.

As soon as MacLehose saw the expressions of the families, he knew that he was talking about the point. What are the major families most worried about, isn't it that the family business will not be able to develop, so that the family will go into decline from then on?

MacLehose continued: "If you have any ideas, just speak boldly, after all, the Xiangjiang issue concerns more than 5 million citizens of Xiangjiang, and this is not only an issue between China and the UK, but you also have the right to decide the future of Xiangjiang!"

However, the major families who sat down again did not pick up MacLehose's words, this problem was too big, and it was not something that the major families in Xiangjiang could bear. The current situation in Xiangjiang, Britain and the mainland, it is not good to offend that side.

Although Li Guangyu knew that Xiangjiang would definitely return to the mainland in the future, there were still quite a lot of opportunities in the mainland. However, in this sensitive period, I am still honestly a junior, and I can just bring a pair of ears to listen to these meetings, and after China and Britain sign a joint statement, I can invest in the mainland on a large scale, which will not only promote the development of the mainland, but also make money myself.
