Chapter 46: The Wind Rises in the Fragrance River (2)

After a roar of large-displacement engines, with a screeching sound, Ling Yueying's dark orange Aston Martin disappeared into the green shade of Baijia Road.

Niu Bijian stood at the window, looked back at the copy of "Hong Kong Island Daily" brought by Ling Yueying on the desk, and then looked at the bay in the distance.

As a work of its own affiliated enterprises, no matter how busy the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is a must-read in every issue, before Ling Yueying took out this newspaper, New Bijian had already finished reading the entire newspaper at breakfast.

"Uncle, the chief commentator of this newspaper has read a series of articles recently published by United Photon on the origins, causes, and significance of the modern democratic movement. ”

"I read it in a hurry, but my uncle is a layman, and I didn't see anything wrong with it. Niu Bijian stared at Ling Yueying's somewhat inexplicable eyes, and quietly slid the topic over.

"I've heard my father say that my uncle, like my father, spent his early years at St Andrews University in Scotland, where he majored in European history and international ......relations. ”

No matter how Ling Yueying tried it, Niu Bijian put on the appearance that he was old and his knowledge had already been returned to the teacher, except for the high-sounding nonsense, he did not reveal any tendentious and suggestive language, and finally made Ling Yueying flushed with anger, and vented his petty temperament with a tire and throttle when he left.

Niu Bijian squinted his eyes and stared at a strange-looking van in Victoria Bay for a moment, and sighed slightly.

Although it is not difficult for those who have a heart to verify, the enterprises they serve have an inexplicable relationship with mainland capital. However, Ling Yueying was still too young, and if it were old Kate, she would not have tested such a sensitive issue when the situation was brewing and stirring.

In the eyes of top businessmen, the scale of the chaos represents how rich the profit income is, and whether this kind of decision is correct or not, and can even dominate the rise and fall of a giant enterprise like HSBC.

Niu Bijian withdrew his gaze and picked up the watering can on the trellis and poured water on the potted plants on the windowsill.

The chief commentator hired by his own affiliated company, Niu Bijian did not care about it originally, as a graduate of Scotland's top universities. Whether it is the history of Athens or the institutional structure of the Roman Empire's consuls and senates. Or the germ of modern democracy during the French Revolution was at your fingertips.

Although the article is full of some political frameworks in Chinese history, in the opinion of Niu Bijian, the series of articles in Hong Kong Island Daily is nothing more than a slight novelty, and it is still a concise article introducing the history of the development of modern democracy in a decent way.

The problem lies in the conclusions of the United Photon on democracy, in the vision of the future. United Photon changed his calm and calm strokes. In an almost fanatical tone, modern democracy is praised. It is believed that all social injustices, all poverty problems, from the operation of the country to the disputes between neighbors and the people, can be perfectly resolved as long as they vote.

At the heart of modern democracy is that the wishes of all people are satisfied, and the people can choose the government that best represents their interests, and everyone's interests are guaranteed. There is no corruption, no poverty, no discrimination, no injustice, and equality for all...... , United Photon uses lyrical and romantic tones to describe the scene after the advent of democracy.

At the end of this series of articles, United Photon constructs a model of human social existence that is far more ideal than the communist society, and finally United Photon excerpts a series of editorials in Jiefang Ribao and Xinhua Daily, the organ newspapers of the ruling party of the Republic from 1940 to 1946, and ends the entire series of articles with a historical precedent and solemn promise.

After the editorial of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" was published, for a time Luoyang paper was expensive, and the phrase "the precedent of history and solemn promise" quickly became a popular hot word, and together with the editorial of the ruling party of the Republic of China, it appeared overwhelmingly in the banners held up by the street ranks.

With the help of this incomparably sharp editorial, "Hong Kong Island Daily" defeated the long-established "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" in one fell swoop in terms of daily sales, and temporarily occupied a leading position.

The ill-informed nature of the editor and the last excerpt of the editorial were impressed by the fact that it was a one-shot kill, and there could be no more poignant language than this in the current atmosphere.

As the Chief Executive Officer of United Trust, Nurbijian has been exposed to the edge of Yuanjia's core system and has a general understanding of the forces behind Yuanjia.

In Niu Bijian's view, the reason why Yuanjia is so presumptuous in the report of "Hong Kong Island Daily" is nothing more than that the line within the mainland has entered a white heat.

At that time, it is no exaggeration to say that the republic was in turmoil, and the current general secretary of the party planned to change its flag and become China's Gorbachev, and his aides even thought that even if the republic was divided into more than ten pieces, it would be worth burying the damned people-people-democracy-lord-dictatorship.

Through the gaps in the skyscrapers, the road in Central appears intermittently under the eyes of New Bigkin, and if you do not take into account the altitude difference, the straight-line distance between the Mid-Levels Hotel and Central is only three or four kilometers, and at this distance, the surging crowds on the Central Road are clearly visible.

Niu Bijian looked at the countless marchers wearing white shirts on the road, and the light gray cargo pants of the crowd were uniformly dressed to remind the crowd of people of their specific identity - Hong Kong and Kowloon container terminal workers.

As a first-hand witness of the "June Seven Storm" in Hong Kong during the Great Movement of the Republic, Nurtur was extremely familiar with the previous workers' movements on Hong Kong Island, but this time, all the known experience could not explain what he saw with his own eyes.

Unless there is an order from the core leadership of the mainland, it can make such a big wave in the leftist camp on Hong Kong Island.

You must know that since the June 7 storm in the 60s, due to a series of factors such as bombs and armed struggle, the leftist forces in Hong Kong have been dealt a heavy blow.

Could it be that that huge country, less than half a century after its unification, will fall into chaos again?

This thought together. The first thing he felt was a chill in the sixties, when the Republic of Hong Kong was sneezed and there were landmines and bombs on the streets of Hong Kong.

Once such a large nuclear power falls into chaos, Hong Kong is destined to suffer from the pond fish, at least at present, the security requirements of real estate, the pillar industry on Hong Kong Island, are not ordinarily high.

Hong Kong has been open for more than 100 years, and the great development of the real estate industry is still a matter after the founding of the Republic of China and the mainland society has entered a stable state. I haven't seen any real estate development in Hong Kong.

In the eyes of Niu Bijian. Hong Kong may be suitable for doing business, but it is definitely not suitable for living.

Could it be that when I returned to Hong Kong to work this time, the so-called acquisition of Hong Kong Land was just a cover, or that insiders in that country figured out that GuΓ² would transfer his wealth overseas. Leave a way back for the family like a rainy day?

For a while, all kinds of thoughts were tumbling in Niu Bijian's mind. One after another.

Slowly paced back to his desk. Niu Bijian gently flipped through the "Hong Kong Island Daily" on the table, which had been read several times.

The precedent of history and solemn promise, the slap in the face in the political field is indeed the most ruthless, and the chief commentator of the "Hong Kong Island Daily" is also from the mainland. Otherwise, such tricky perspectives and cold information are really not something that ordinary people can think of.

Although unimpressed by United Photon's enthusiasm for a democratic society, the Western-born Niu Bijian still has a good opinion of the Hong Kong Island Daily commentator.

In the future, when the situation is a little more stable, I will definitely find an opportunity to go to the newspaper office to meet this talented United Photon, Niu Bijian taps his knuckles on the table and is silent.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Presidential Suite A.

The "United Photon", who was regarded as talented by Niu Bijian, was sitting on the sofa with his back straight, listening to people's lectures very honestly.

"Xiaoyuan, didn't you promise Aunt Ning that all editorials must be read by Aunt Ning before they can be published?

"Uh......"

"Uh, what, you little bastard still want to fool Aunt Ning with sloppy eyes, don't you?"

"Uh......"

"You haven't figured out how to fool you, have you? What kind of calculations are you little bastard, do you know that the printing house in Hong Kong is working overtime to print today's editorial of the Hong Kong Island Daily, and Aunt Ning got the news that the first batch of 200,000 copies were printed, you little bastard still don't think the country is chaotic enough, don't you?" Tang Wan patted the short table next to her.

"200,000 copies, that's a lot, Mom, which guy is stealing the prints? Why don't we buy the newspaper, should we sue him?" Ning Wanjia hugged a bottle of yogurt and asked curiously with dark eyes.

"What the newspaper needs is influence, how can this kind of thing be prosecuted...... Tang Wan said a few words, suddenly stopped talking, glared at Ning Wanjia, and then shifted her gaze to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan watched the girl secretly spread her little hands to herself, making a look like I can only help you so much, and almost couldn't help laughing.

Being interrupted by Ning Wanjia like this, Tang Wan couldn't hold back Yan SΓΉ's appearance, sighed helplessly, and said: "I knew that the way it was now, Aunt Ning would not support Xiaoyuan in business, if according to your mother and me, this summer vacation just sent the three of you to the capital to study, how worry-free, it is like following you all day long, this little bastard is worried about it." ”

Seeing that Tang Wan's expression was no longer strict, Liang Yuan's courage was a little bigger, he poured a glass of apple juice, handed it over with a fart, and said: "Aunt Ning, aren't I a cunning rabbit, no matter how big the matter is, sooner or later it will become history, according to Aunt Ning's opinion, we have to continue, and we have to deal with foreigners, now that we already know the ending, the country will not collapse." ”

"I heard Uncle Weixin say that Taiwan contributed first and the United States contributed second, and the matter will definitely not be over after it passes, and some things are allowed to move around, so it is better to try to buy Yuanjia, so that you can't turn over Aunt Ning's palm. ”

Tang Wan was amused by Liang Yuan, at this time, Yuanjia was closely related to foreign countries regardless of its main business or sideline business, once the republic regained the seclusion of the country, it is not enough to describe the tragic situation of Yuanjia with heavy losses.

"You little bastard in order to make money for yourself, don't use the guise of serving the country and the people, otherwise your father and your Uncle Ning will know about it and guarantee that you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Aunt Ning's main job is to acquire Hong Kong Land, and occasionally some small mistakes in public opinion are nothing, and those words are not made up nonsense, there are so many smart people in this world, even if I don't see it, someone will see it. Liang Yuan said with a grin.

In Tang Wan's opinion, Liang Yuan's doing this is nothing more than betting on both sides and seeing the wind and steering the rudder, no matter which side of the domestic struggle in the republic wins, there is a chance to use the justifiable excuse to climb up the pole and stand on the side of the winner.

Of course, Liang Yuan dared to talk to Tang Wan about this, and once Liang Jiangping or Ning Lei knew about someone's dirty thoughts, I am afraid that it would be light to be beaten up.

After a period of chaos, Tang Wan went to Shenzhen to report to work, so as not to be caught off guard in China.

Liang Yuan, who escaped the catastrophe, hummed a little song and stood on the terrace of the Mandarin Hotel shaking his head and watched the surging crowd of marchers below the hotel.

"Fei Fei, have you peeled the apple?"

A few days ago, Ning Wanfei had just reached an agreement with Liang Yuan to help Liang Yuan peel an apple every day, and for every thirty Liang Yuan would hide from Tang Wan and Li Yuanling to make wine, although Ning Wanfei tried to turn the number of apples into three, but unfortunately Ning Wanjia refused to help, and she couldn't beat Liang Yuan single-handedly without using her efforts, and in desperation, the female devil had to sign this agreement of losing power and humiliating the country.

"Last month, Xiaoyuan also told my sister and me how bad those people in the capital were, if I hadn't heard Xiaoyuan's conversation with my mother today, I would have been deceived by you bastard. ”

"A while ago, Xiaoyuan was still laughing at Li Chaoren for eating inside and out, this position changed fast enough, Xiaoyuan's future behavior has been summarized in the book, they are all called compradors, Xiaoyuan will not call himself a rich man in the future, and it will be much more foreign to call it a comprador instead. Ning Wanfei walked into the terrace with a peeled apple.

In view of someone's extremely bad grades in history and politics, and the twins' results in these two subjects are surprisingly good, Ning Wanjia's motivation to study is to help Liang Yuan, but Ning Wanfei is to hit someone.

However, regardless of the purpose of learning, with the intelligence of the twins, they have learned these two sciences very thoroughly, and although they cannot understand things too deeply, many daily phenomena can be combined with practice.

Taking the apple from Ning Wanfei's hand, Liang Yuan took a big bite proudly, and then pointed to Ning Wanjia, who followed Ning Wanfei into the terrace, and said, "Fei Fei, you don't have such a question about Jiajia." ”

Ning Wanfei turned her head and found that Ning Wanjia was really looking at Liang Yuan with a smile on her face.

"My sister didn't pay attention to Xiaoyuan's small movements, this guy talked so much to his mother, at least half of it was nonsense. Ning Wanjia said with a smile in her eyes. (To be continued......)
