Chapter 40 A Visit from Xinhua News Agency

At half past seven in the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year (January 31), He Zuozhi called.

"Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me? Li Guangyu said after receiving the call.

"Guangyu, this afternoon the Xinhua News Agency came to visit me and talked about the mainland and the Xiangjiang issue. It is said that I will go to your side tomorrow. ”

"Grandpa, I haven't received any news that Xinhua News Agency is coming to me. Lee Kwang Woo replied.

"It may be that the Xinhua News Agency has not contacted you yet, and in dealing with the mainland, our He family's attitude is to help if it does not affect the development of the family. In terms of the relationship between the mainland and the treasure island, we are businessmen, and we do not take sides in the affairs of the two governments. ”

"Grandpa, I know, I'll take care of these things. ”

"When you face the Xinhua News Agency, you must be careful to deal with it, and don't make any promises as soon as your head is hot. You can identify with each other on some issues, such as the return of Xiangjiang to the mainland. However, you must be careful in dealing with the relationship between the mainland and the treasure island, and if necessary, you can excuse the past because you are too young to know how to pass the past. He Zuozhi instructed.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I know how to deal with it, and it won't affect the development of my business. Li Guangyu knew that his grandfather was worried about himself, so he assured He Zuozhi.

He Zuozhi was still not very relieved, and after a while, he hung up the phone.

Not long after Li Guangyu hung up the phone, the phone rang again, Li Guangyu picked up the phone and said, "Hey, I'm Li Guangyu." ”

The phone came: "Li Sheng, hello, I am the vice president of Xinhua News Agency. ”

"Hello, is there anything wrong?" asked Li Guangyu.

"Li Sheng, do you have time tomorrow morning? Our president hopes to visit you at your home at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Li Guangyu knew that the president of the Xinhua News Agency was coming tomorrow, and returned: "I will wait at home for President Zheng tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, Li Sheng, excuse me, goodbye. ”

"Okay, goodbye. Li Guangyu hung up the phone after speaking.

On the morning of February 1, Zheng Dong went to Li Guangyu's villa in Repulse Bay, accompanied by a staff member of the club.

Li Guangyu had already come to the door to wait, and when he saw Zheng Dong get out of the car, he immediately greeted him and said, "President Zheng, Happy New Year!

"Happy New Year Li Sheng, you are so polite, it is also my honor to be able to visit Xiangjiang Junjie like Li Sheng. Zheng Dong said.

Li Guangyu said, "President Zheng, please come inside." ”

Li Guangyu and Zheng Dong came to the study, and Li Guangyu instructed, "Grandpa Wu, take out the newly purchased good tea at home, brew it for us, and send it to the study." ”

Li Guangyu immediately said to Zheng Dong: "President Zheng can come to the Li family today, it is really brilliant!"

Seeing that Li Guangyu was so polite, Zheng Dong also said: "Li Sheng, you are too modest, and your deeds are spread everywhere in Xiangjiang today. You took charge of the family business at the age of 16, and in just over a year, you brought the family into the upper class of the Hong Kong society, and the market value of its property surpassed that of the charter boat king. Now it is rumored that you are the God of Wealth in Xiangjiang and have become the idol of countless Xiangjiang people. ”

Li Guangyu said modestly: "President Zheng, I'm just lucky, the blind cat met the dead mouse, and just seized a few opportunities to make money, if it weren't for a few big talents in the group to help me support it, the game would have been over a long time ago." To be honest, I can't manage this ability sometimes. ”

After listening to Li Guangyu's answer, Zheng Dong felt that Li Guangyu did not have the pride and complacency of a young man at all. If he hadn't known that Li Guangyu was indeed less than eighteen years old, he would have thought that this was an old fox in a shopping mall for many years, and the rush and pride that a young man should have didn't show at all.

Zheng Dong then said straight to the point: "Li Sheng, what do you think of the mainland's recovery of Xiangjiang?"

Li Guangyu saw Zheng Dong asking this question and immediately replied: "I support the motherland's recovery of Xiangjiang, after all, we have the same roots and the same ancestors, and I think the vast majority of people in Xiangjiang have the same idea as me." ”

Zheng Dong was very happy to hear Li Guangyu's remarks, at least reflecting that the upper echelons of Xiangjiang still recognized the state's repossession of Xiangjiang, which could reduce many difficulties in future work.

"Thank you Li Sheng for your recognition of our party and country, we all know that Li Sheng, your media group now occupies an absolute advantage in Xiangjiang, can you let it promote the mainland more. Zheng Dong hoped that Li Guangyu would do more propaganda for the mainland, so that the mainland could occupy an advantageous position in public opinion in Xiangjiang.

Li Guangyu did not immediately answer Zheng Dong's request. Because this is too wide-ranging, if you are not careful, it will hit the Li Group hard.

Li Guangyu was pondering when there was a knock on the door.

Li Guangyu knew that it must have been Wu Wen who brought the tea. said, "Please come in." ”

Wu Wen brought the tea in, and after pouring a cup for Li Guangyu and Zheng Dong at the same time, he withdrew.

Li Guangyu said to Zheng Dong: "President Zheng, please drink tea." ”

Zheng Dong saw that Li Guangyu did not answer his request just now, so he asked, "Li Sheng, is there any difficulty about my question just now?"

Li Guangyu knew that he couldn't delay it if he didn't answer, so he said: "President Zheng, since many issues in Xiangjiang have not yet been determined, and we are still under British rule, some things are not easy to operate. I can only ask my journalists to stand on a neutral standpoint and report on the mainland's affairs objectively and realistically, and at the same time not report on incidents that smear the mainland. ”

Zheng Dong also did not think that Li Guangyu could directly agree to report from the standpoint of the mainland, as long as he could promote the mainland in a neutral and realistic manner.

said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, it is already a great help to us that you can stand on a neutral position. We mainly want to let people from all walks of life in Hong Kong understand the changes in our mainland so as to enhance the communication between the two places. ”

Subsequently, Zheng Dong and Li Guangyu exchanged some views on Baodao and Lisboa, and Li Guangyu replied to them lightly.

After nearly an hour of conversation, Zheng Dong said goodbye and left.

Li Guangyu personally sent Zheng Dong to the door and said enthusiastically: "President Zheng, you go slowly, welcome to come to the humble house again in the future." ”

Zheng Dong said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, I think we will meet often in the future, and I hope Li Sheng will not be annoyed by the time." ”

"How can it be, President Zheng can come, I can't be happy yet, how can I be annoyed?" Li Guangyu said.

......

Zheng Dong's car slowly drove away from Li Guangyu's villa, and in the car, the escort asked with a smile: "President, did you have a good conversation today?"

Zheng Dong knew that this subordinate must have felt that Li Guangyu was young and inexperienced, and he could fool him as soon as he said it. said to him: "Do you think Li Guangyu is easy to talk to?"

"President, isn't it, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, as long as we talk about more patriotic examples and some propaganda slogans, he can't still agree with enthusiasm?"

If Li Guangyu was so simple, he would not have developed his family business to this extent in just over a year. Zheng Dong said with emotion.

"Ah, president, Li Guangyu is not easy to speak?"

"I can't say that he can't be a good man, he's an absolute elite talent among the young people I've met. Without looking at his face, you can hardly believe that he is still a teenager under the age of eighteen. I feel as cunning as the heads of other families, avoiding the important and trivial, and we still have a long way to go in our work!" Zheng Dong said to him.
