166 Goodbye Big Guy
What Li Feng didn't know was that the entire handover ceremony seemed to be very smooth, but the process came down, but the two countries secretly competed.
For example, when Charles spoke, it seemed that he had 'forgotten the words', and he forgot the words on such an important occasion, which caused the speech to be delayed by more than 20 seconds, causing the Chinese side to speed up the process next, after all, the process of the handover ceremony is accurate to the second, and no mistakes can be made.
Then when the flag was lowered at the end, when the British military band played the national anthem, it was faster by 10 seconds and so on, and when the Chinese national anthem was finally played, it paused for 5 or 6 seconds before starting, which was originally two seconds in advance according to the process, just to be able to raise the national flag at 0:00 on July 1.
I didn't feel it when I watched TV in my previous life, but I was on the scene in this life, especially when the national flag was raised at the end, and after a delay of a few seconds, Li Feng still felt it, and even Li Feng could feel the 'anger' of the Chinese personnel. I saw that several bigwigs sitting on the rostrum were still smiling at first, but then their faces sank.
Obviously, Britain did not follow the process and was doing things for the sake of the so-called 'face', especially during the pause of about 5 seconds before raising the national flag, many people on the scene whispered, causing a bit of noise in the General Assembly Hall.
The whole handover ceremony only passed a few dozen minutes, and it was soon over, and finally it was natural for the Chinese side to bid farewell to the British personnel, and several representatives of the British Empire would leave Hong Kong on their cruise ship 'Britannia'.
However, many people did not leave, because there was a swearing-in ceremony of the SAR government, and the new government and new leaders came to power to officially meet with the outside world.
In his previous life, he had already experienced such a scene on TV, but Li Feng was not surprised, he just wasted a lot of cameras to hand in the papers.
Before leaving, he chatted with Old Man Deng and a group of central bigwigs, and he could be regarded as getting acquainted with several bigwigs of the Celestial Empire. And make an appointment with Mr. Deng to visit tomorrow morning.
……
In the early morning, I woke up from the gentle countryside of even the big beauties, and looked at the beauties on the big bed, and my heart was complacent. Thinking that I was going to visit the old man this morning, I suddenly came to my senses, resisted the impulse of the early morning, got up and walked into the bathroom.
was washing, but the two beauties also walked into the bathroom.
"Sister Qing, Lei Lei, why aren't you sleeping?"
"We also got up and had breakfast together. Wang Siqing said with a smile.
Talking, laughing, and playing, the three of them got dressed together and walked out of the bedroom, and soon the hotel's chef was busy.
"Oh... Today's media is really lively. After eating breakfast and picking up the newspaper on the side, Li Feng said with a smile.
"After all, a major political event like the return of Xiangjiang is related to the sovereignty of a region, as well as the two major powers of China and the United Kingdom, and there is no reason not to make headlines, let alone a region like Xiangjiang, which has an extraordinary reputation in the world.
You must know that Xiangjiang is the world's third largest financial center after New York and London, so it is naturally the focus of media reports.
By the way, you were at the scene last night, is it true that the 5-second interval of the last time reported in this newspaper is true?" Wang Siqing asked with a smile, pointing to the so-called 'stealing 5 seconds' report in the newspaper.
"Well, before 0:00 rises, there seems to be a pause of a few seconds in between, and there was a 'buzzing' murmur in the Great Hall at that time. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Oh my God, I really didn't expect that in such a handover ceremony, a country would do this, if it was spread out, it wouldn't be good for its reputation, is it necessary? Lin Xilei also interjected.
"Hehe... , the British Empire, the Empire on which the sun never sets, it is estimated that these people are still fantasizing about their former glory. Li Feng laughed.
"Haha..."
Listening to Li Feng's words, the two girls were also speechless.
……
Li Feng found that most of the media are still relatively objective, even the mainstream media in Europe and the United States such as The Times (most of these media are black Chinese media), and they also reported on last night's handover ceremony, saying that Britain is in decline and China is rising.
After breakfast, after a little rest, Li Feng returned to the hotel room, contacted Mr. Deng with his private phone, and left the hotel with Wang Jianguo and others after coming out, and let the hotel driver who was familiar with the road section carry him, and the group went to a private villa somewhere in the middle of the Taiping Mountain.
When I arrived at the door of the villa, I sent the hotel driver and others, and took Wang Jianguo to wait outside, and after a while, I saw a middle-aged woman with short hair walking out.
"Sister Deng, hello!"
"Xiao Feng, you're here, the old man is still talking about you in the morning. ”
"yes, that's my pleasure!"
Li Feng smiled and stepped forward to greet the visitor, this eldest sister Deng is the daughter of the old man Deng, because Li Feng saved the old man's life last time, and now Li Feng and these juniors of the Deng family are barely acquainted. Signaling Wang Jianguo and the others to wait outside, Li Feng followed this 'Sister Deng' into this small mountain villa halfway up the mountain.
Entering the villa garden, Li Feng felt that the security inside the villa was tight, it was completely loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and those characters in the shadows, Li Feng thought that they should be the legendary 'Zhongnanhai bodyguards'.
When Li Feng walked into the villa with Sister Deng, he was really taken aback, in addition to Mr. Deng, there were also several top domestic officials among them, chatting with the old man.
……
"Xiao Feng, you're here. As soon as Li Feng walked into the villa, Old Man Deng suddenly said with a smile.
"Old Deng, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems that you look good. Hello leaders, it's a pleasure to meet you. Li Feng smiled and greeted several big people without being humble or arrogant.
Seeing Li Feng greet everyone in front of him, his face remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to care, several big people nodded secretly in their hearts, worthy of being able to hit a large number of rivers and mountains at a young age, just by virtue of being able to remain calm, neither humble nor arrogant in the face of himself and others, it shows that he is extraordinary.
"It's not the right time for me to come, or I'll take my leave first, and please chat. Seeing that a group of bigwigs stopped talking, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder if it was not the right time for him to come, and what this group of bigwigs were discussing was a big matter, whether he was interrupted by himself.
"Comrade Zhijian, Comrade Xuanji, didn't you just say that there is a figure of this rich man's capital, and it just so happened that someone sent it to the door, so you can continue. Old Man Deng said to a pair of men about 5 or 60 years old who had not made a sound on the side.
I have to say that thanks to the developed network information in later generations, Li Feng is very familiar with these people, such as the so-called 'Zhijian' is the second-generation representative of the Rong family, who was called the 'red capitalist' by Taizu.
It can be said that although these families are not conspicuous in Hong Kong, their secret influence is not inferior to those wealthy families in Hong Kong.
……
Listening to Mr. Deng's words, Li Feng already understood what the two of them said before they came, saying that they had their own capital, and they wanted to come in addition to the economic crisis that was about to take shape now that was becoming more and more erosive. The funds of his own investment company are following the trend in the Southeast Asian market, and they are also noticed by others, which is normal, and Li Feng will not mind.
Aren't these two representatives of Chinese capital in Hong Kong, isn't the CITIC Hong Kong Group in control, Hong Kong's economic ties with Southeast Asia and other places are still very close, maybe these bigwigs are discussing how to deal with the next financial crisis.
Li Feng does not believe that the current situation is that the government will not be clear about the possible financial crisis, and that at present, what may happen in the future can basically be predicted.
