366 Iron Lady Wrestling
In September, the new Governor Youde has been in charge of the Governor's Mansion for several months, and in recent times, there have been a lot of news reports about him, and everyone is paying attention to the words and deeds of the new Governor, because everyone knows that the most important task of Youde's visit to Hong Kong is to negotiate with the mainland government on the future of Hong Kong.
In April of this year, the Argentine government decided to militarily occupy the Falklands, which were formerly a British colony, in order to alleviate the decline of the domestic economy.
Although the "British Empire" has become a weak chicken among the developed countries, after all, it has dominated the world for a hundred years, and the reputation of the "empire on which the sun never sets" can be provoked by Germany, Japan, and the United States, but it will not be Argentina's turn.
As a result, Britain sent its only aircraft carrier battle group, and the two sides broke out during the Cold War, the largest joint operation involving the navy, land and air force, and finally the British army was victorious.
Although more than 200 soldiers were lost, Thatcher, the then British Prime Minister, Iron Lady, also gained great fame at home and abroad by virtue of this war.
It is also a British colony, Xiangjiang and the Falklands are exactly the same in nature, the Falklands are actually just a group of islands, and the economic benefits are low, if it were not for the dignity of the "British Empire", the British government would not have gone all the way to fight this war.
However, Xiangjiang is much higher than the Falklands, and is currently one of the top ten cities in the world, second only to Tokyo in Asia, and the British government naturally hopes to keep this pearl of the Orient permanently.
Since Britain's victory in the Falklands War in June, there has been some gossip circulating in Xiangjiang that Britain will not let go of Xiangjiang, and the mainland government will not back down, and it is very likely that another "Falklands War" will break out in Asia between the two sides.
As a result, throughout the summer of Xiangjiang, the stock exchange has been in a state of long-term decline, and real estate transactions have become difficult.
Although many people believe that war is unlikely to break out between the two P5 countries, many rich people are reluctant to gamble on this kind of thing, even if there is a 99.9% probability that it will not happen, they do not dare to gamble their lives.
On September 18, Hong Kong's "Ta Kung Pao" broke the news that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher would fly to the mainland capital on September 22 to discuss the future of Hong Kong with the mainland's central leadership.
Fortunately, in order to facilitate tourists and businessmen from Hong Kong to travel and invest in the mainland, the Xinhua News Agency has already opened a green channel for Hong Kong people, and a group of reporters from various newspapers and media, TVB and Asia Television have successfully passed the examination and rushed to Beijing.
This is a matter related to the lives of the 5 million people in Hong Kong, and the two major TV stations of TVB and ATV are constantly broadcasting live broadcasts, and many entertainment programs have given way.
On September 24, the Iron Lady and the British diplomatic team held formal negotiations with the relevant departments of the mainland government in the Great Hall of the People.
The negotiation process was not open to any media, and many reporters could only wait anxiously at the door of the Great Hall of the People.
The two major TV stations in Xiangjiang invited different experts, and when the Beijing meeting was held, they started a professional analysis, and everyone listened to the Tao, but when they came back to their senses, they found that the expert had been talking for a long time, which was equivalent to a bunch of nonsense, telling all the possibilities, and the head of the analysis was the Tao, but they did not dare to have any substantive speculation.
Two hours later, the host, who was arguing with the experts, suddenly received a reminder from the headset and immediately said: "Audience friends, the reporters in Beijing have got the latest news, and now we will hand over the camera to the front-line reporters in front." ”
The picture suddenly turned, and the picture of the Great Hall of the People appeared on the TV.
Not only Xiangjiang, but also many media and TV stations in Europe and the United States have sent their own reporters, all of whom intended to lean towards the door, but countless security personnel blocked the way, remembering that they could only shoot the latest information that could be obtained from a distance.
At the door of the Great Hall of the People, a group of people in suits and leather shoes walked out of it, it was the British diplomatic team, among which the Iron Lady Thatcher was very conspicuous, wearing a blue women's suit, with a serious expression, as if she was thinking about something, and occasionally talked to the advisers around her.
It seems that because her mind is too heavy, when the Iron Lady walked into the descending stairs, she suddenly stepped into the air, and her body leaned forward uncontrollably, but the bodyguard next to her was very professional and quickly grabbed her right hand to prevent a more embarrassing picture.
This fall not only fell at the door of the Great Hall of the People, but also fell in front of countless reporters, although the bodyguard reacted quickly, but the three-second wrestling was still recorded by the photographer, and hundreds of photos were taken.
After the frightened Iron Lady stood up, she picked up the satchel scattered all over the place, whispered a few words to the people around her, and walked into the car that she had been waiting for as if nothing had happened.
The reporters all came over, but the Chinese and British security crews joined forces to block the flood until the car left, and Thatcher did not answer any of the reporters' questions.
In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the Iron Lady wrestling at the door of the Great Hall of the People quickly spread from the capital to all parts of the world, and the world was shocked at this moment.
Prime ministers, presidents, and emperors are all ordinary people, and it's actually nothing to fall down, it's a personal experience of this kind of thing.
No one has a rule that those in power must refrain from wrestling.
However, on the same day, the mainland foreign affairs department held a press conference, proposing that by 1997, the mainland government would take back the sovereignty and jurisdiction of Hong Kong in accordance with international law, and put forward the principle of "one country, two systems".
The hard-line attitude of the mainland government has been recognized by the world, and Thatcher's fall at the door of the Great Hall of the People has made countless people interpret other meanings.
After all, although people can wrestle, most of them tend to happen when they are restless, and what worried Thatcher so much just after an international negotiation?
"War!"
This is an idea put forward by a small number of well-intentioned Xiangjiang people, and through the media, the whole thing is even more demonized.
For a time, the entire Xiangjiang was shrouded in the dark clouds of war.
At the end of the day, the Hang Seng Index fell by 150 points.
The next morning, as soon as the exchange opened, countless sell orders were smashed, and many people were so anxious that they felt like they were about to jump off the building.
The stock market is still the same, and the real estate market, which is more important in the Hong Kong market, has been hit harder.
In fact, as early as August, the Hong Kong government sold the land of the Murray Road car park in Central District to the Bank of China for HK$1 billion, which had already hit the market, and the price of this land a few months ago was at least HK$2.5 billion.
The fall in land prices has become inevitable.
Even if there are companies like Hongkong Land forcibly entrusting the market, compared to countless funds, Hongkong Land's funds are simply a drop in the bucket.
And Thatcher's fall completely caused the complete collapse of the real estate industry.
