Chapter 1080: Hello, 1982!
January 1, 1982.
When standing on the lawn of the governor's residence, looking at the various fireworks set off in the distance, Yin Jun also had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It's been almost 4 years since 42 years ago.
Sometimes when he dreams back at midnight, Yin Jun still thinks of some people and things from the past.
But more time, his mentality and mood have been fully integrated into this era.
Seeing that the Kirin Group is growing stronger and more successful, Yin Jun occasionally has some panic in his heart, for fear that when he wakes up, he will find that he will return to the apartment in his previous life, and he is still in the same body.
Compared with his career, Yin Jun is more reluctant, and naturally there are a group of beauties around him.
Whether it is the good wives he gets, or the group of little girls he cultivated as a sister, Yin Jun is reluctant.
They have become a part of the young man's life, and they have nothing to do with them in their previous life, they are the new ones, and they are also the people Yin Jun cherishes immensely.
"It's almost the New Year of the year!" Standing next to Yin Jun was a middle-aged man with thin glasses, and he sighed: "I really don't know how many people will be able to stand here at this time next year, and how many people will be able to continue the scenery?
"Don't be here to pretend to feel nostalgic for the Spring and Autumn Period!" A slightly chubby middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but glance blankly, "Who doesn't know that you Li Chaoren was very steady last year, concentrating on digesting and remembering Huangpu, and was not affected much at all? It's just that those of us who have no money and want to develop are suffering!"
Li Chaoren looked stunned and had the heart to say a few words, but he was never a person who won by mouth, so he could only shake his head aggrievedly and not argue with this old friend.
Yin Jun was the same, he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
Because Zheng Yutong, who spoke, was his elder, and he took good care of him before he was a young man, and he still had this concept of respect and inferiority.
It's just that if you want to say that the worst person last year, it won't be Zheng Yutong's turn at all, okay?
The big news that forced people to buy shops is still being scolded!
Zheng Yutong's New World Development Company, relying on this trick, returned a huge amount of almost 3 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, which is long enough for them to calmly lay out!
The young man looked at the Chen family father and son who were discussing something with a group of people in the distance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled.
A few months ago, what was the scenery of Hang Lung Group, which had auctioned nine properties on top of the subway on the Hong Kong Island Line?
It is simply known as the largest Chinese-funded consortium, and the limelight completely overwhelms Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, and Guo Desheng.
But in less than a year, they are now crying without tears.
By December, the real estate in Xiangjiang was already sluggish, and although the price did not drop much, the transaction volume was pitiful.
Together with the Ngau Tau Kok Amoy Garden, which the Chen family relies on the most, the house is also very difficult to sell now.
Without such a source of continuous cash flow, Hang Lung Group is having a hard time these days.
It's not just them, many real estate businessmen are having a hard time.
They invested too much money in the second half of last year and the first half of this year to enter the land market, and they couldn't pull it out at all, and they didn't dare to sell it at a lower price, because it would cause an avalanche, not only the land market suffered, but what was more terrible was that if the real estate market was avalanche because of this, it would never work.
"Hehe, not everyone is having a hard time. Li Chaoren changed the topic at this time, and his eyes looked to the other side, "Oh, isn't this one getting more and more beautiful?"
Looking through his eyes, there was also a group of people surrounding a tall middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is not too young, but because he is mixed-race, he looks so handsome, not inferior to those big stars in their thirties, and he also has a charm that has been precipitated over the years.
He is the gambling king of Aomen, He Hongshen.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the global economy, especially the development of the Asian economy, Aomen, as the only most secure five-star casino here, naturally ushered in countless rich and wealthy people, and then they left a large amount of money after walking around Aomen.
As the only holder of the gambling license of Aomen, Ho Hongshen's SJM Group naturally made a lot of money, and his net worth exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars in one go.
Of course, SJM itself has not yet reached this level, its market value is only about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, but Ho Hongshen relies on SJM Group to do business in Aomen, so there is no one who is not profitable.
Ho Hongshen also does real estate in Aomen, but he knows how to measure and will not be as exaggerated and hyped as Xiangjiang, so the huge risks faced by Xiangjiang real estate this time have nothing to do with him.
Yin Jun also knew that He Hongshen's current spring breeze was not only because his net worth had skyrocketed, but also because he had forced his sworn enemy, Ye Han, into a corner.
Ye Han's Aomen Racing Club is ten times more successful than in the previous life, relying on the surrounding hotels and entertainment facilities, as well as a variety of games and gambling games, it is really new.
Therefore, this horse racing club has now become another very promising business of Omen, and even the governor of Omen has paid a lot of attention, and even personally passed two trips in the second half of last year.
Now He Hongshen won't do it.
Seeing that Ye Han had been driven to the corner, he didn't expect that he would be able to turn over like this salted fish without paying attention, and he became popular again, earning so much money and popularity.
No way!
We can't let him go on like this anymore!
Therefore, Ho Hongshen immediately had a showdown with the Aomen government.
The Carriage Racing Club is good, but it greatly divides the flow of people who come to Aomen to play gambling, so the income of the SJM Group will be reduced, and in the long run, the casino of Aomen will not be worthy of its name!
In order to make the casino of Omen stable for a long time, do you want our casino or do you want his Yehan's horse racing club?
The government of Omen immediately had a headache.
In their minds, of course, it is best for both to grow and develop at the same time.
But what Ho Hongshen said is also reasonable, the casino is the foundation of Aomen, no matter how good this carriage will be, it can't compare to the benefits that the casino brings to Aomen.
If it really continues to develop like this, everyone doesn't gamble money, but just goes to the horse race, how much money can the Aomen government pump just by relying on these bets and consumption?
They also know the contradiction between Ho Hongshen and Ye Han.
When the two could only choose one of the two, the Aomen government could only stand on He Hongshen's side and began to constantly put pressure on Ye Han, trying to make him give up the business of the Aomen Horse Racing Club.
How could Ye Han agree?
But he is facing the side of the people in power of the Aomen, as well as the huge power of the casino, the huge pressure has forced him out of breath, and the accidents of the horse racing club continue to happen, making him anxious, and he almost feels like he can't hold on.
Business is smooth sailing, forcing the old rival into a corner again, how can He Hongshen not be proud?
There are many guests who come to the Governor's Mansion today, both Chinese and British, but basically they are all distinct, and only Ho Hongshen, a mixed-race person from Aomen, can become the focus of attention.
Yin Jun didn't like to be in the limelight, so he stayed in the corner and chatted with a few acquaintances.
But after chatting for a while, a housekeeper came over and said that MacLehose wanted to see Yin Jun.
The young man didn't know what was going on, so he followed him to MacLehose's study, and found that the first person in Xiangjiang was standing at the window, also watching the fireworks outside.
"Your Excellency. Yin Jun greeted him politely, "Happy New Year!"
Before the banquet began, MacLehose had already exchanged happy New Year with everyone, but now it was a private occasion, and it was always good to be polite.
MacLehose turned around, smiled, sat back on his chair, and motioned for Yin Jun to sit down: "Mr. Yin, how many years have you been in Xiangjiang?"
"It's been almost 4 years. The boy replied.
"The days I came to Xiangjiang are more than double as yours. MacLehose nodded and sighed, "It's a pity, there is no banquet in the world, no matter how long you stay in one place, there is a time to say goodbye!"
Yin Jun bowed slightly.
MacLehose will step down in March this year and return to the United Kingdom, everyone knows this.
Originally, the people of Xiangjiang, and even the British in Xiangjiang, strongly requested that MacLehose be appointed governor for another term.
However, he has already been re-elected for two terms, and if he is re-elected, it does not conform to the rules of the British government, and besides, he has now entered a relatively critical period of time, and such a moderate governor is not very in line with the interests and policies of Britain in the future, so the British side has not changed its mind, so he must leave in March.
Although Yin Jun has not had much contact with MacLehose, he also knows how much he has contributed to Hong Kong.
It must be an exaggeration to say that MacLehose led Xiangjiang from ignorance to civilization, but if MacLehose led Xiangjiang from backwardness to civilization and turned Xiangjiang into an orderly and vibrant metropolis, no one can deny it.
So even 40 years later, when the people of Xiangjiang selected the governors, MacLehose still ranked first by an overwhelming margin, which shows how grateful the people of Xiangjiang are to him.
MacLehose is really for the good of Xiangjiang, so after watching Yin Jun do so much, he took the initiative to offer Yin Jun to help, and the Kirin Industrial Park was approved by him under pressure.
At the beginning, I don't know how many people were saying that Yin Jun must be selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and not long after getting the land, he had to apply for commercial real estate development immediately.
But MacLehose believed that Yin Jun wanted to do things seriously, so the Kirin Industrial Park was established.
And Yin Jun did not disappoint MacLehose, now the Kirin Industrial Park has become one of the largest industrial zones in Xiangjiang, and it has also become the pride of small industries in Xiangjiang, so that MacLehose has more face.
Even Yin Jun knew that MacLehose must have guessed that the sudden appearance of so many mainlanders who swam over was mostly related to Yin Jun, but he didn't care, but actively settled these new immigrants in the New Territories, creating various jobs and conditions for them, without discriminating against them at all, let alone making trouble with Yin Jun.
Yin Jun has kept these kindnesses in his heart, and he is also using his best results to repay the first person in Xiangjiang.
"I am afraid there will be no second Governor after you who can be so recognized by all of us. Yin Jun groaned: "I personally think that everything you have done for Xiangjiang will still be praised by the people of this land a hundred years later." ”
"Hehe, don't be a sycophant, I know that there are still many things that can be done, but ...... Hey!" Maybe he was leaving, and MacLehose didn't speak so seriously, "Okay, let's not talk about that." I called you here today to ask you, in such two months, what else can I help you do, you quickly say it, I will help you do it!"
"Huh!?"
Yin Jun was dumbfounded.
He never thought that MacLehose would take such care of himself!
"We haven't been together for long, but I've been observing you for a short time and have a rough idea of what kind of person you are. MacLehose said calmly: "Although you also have a lot of selfishness and some secrets of your own, I believe you are one of the best I have ever seen in terms of business and life."
People who deal with you praise you for being a gentleman, knowing how to respect others, and never treating others with malice. And in terms of business, you obviously have so many opportunities to make a fortune with real estate, but you don't do it, but rely on your own efforts, with more hard work, to do the industrial and entertainment industry, and make so many achievements that others can't accomplish.
During my tenure, I am very pleased to see that you have come out of Heung Kong with such a vision and vision for the future. Maybe in the future, Xiangjiang will have to rely on young people like you to develop even better! Relying on that group of real estate developers alone, they should be thankful that they don't make a mess of Xiangjiang. ”
Although I am not from Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang is already my second hometown, and I certainly hope to see it develop better and better in the UK in the future, and your life will get better and better. Therefore, before leaving, I want to help ambitious young people like you more, so that you can build Xiangjiang better!"
Listening to MacLehose's words, Yin Jun's eyes looked at him with respect.
It depends on a person's character, don't look at what he says, but how he does things.
From the past to the present, MacLehose has already proved that he is a really good person and really thinks about Hong Kong.
Not necessarily because he is British, he is harboring evil intentions, but among foreigners, there are also good people...... The previous governors were not good to evaluate, but this one was the one with the least differences.
Without him, Xiangjiang would have been a mess, and it would not have been his turn to contribute enough to the development of the impoverished hinterland in the next decade or two.
But it is such an old man, before leaving, he is still not at ease with Xiangjiang, and wants to do his part again, which is really affectionate to this land, so he will do this.
He was about to say something, but MacLehose interrupted him again: "Okay, you don't have to worry. I'm not calling you here today to ask you to make a request right away. You go back and think carefully about what you want to do, and then come and tell me! Although I am leaving, I believe that before I leave, what I say will count, and you don't have to worry. ”
"Good. ”
Yin Jun nodded heavily, and then said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Governor...... I thank you for not me, but on behalf of all the people of Xiangjiang. Thank you for everything you have done for Hong Kong!"
MacLehose smiled slightly when he heard this, and there was too much emotion and satisfaction in his smile.
With the moment when he just came to Xiangjiang, and now seeing the vibrant and vibrant city in front of him, MacLehose really feels that he has no regrets in his work in his life.
