Because of a pot of Ji Yulu, the sky above the Li family has been filled with low pressure recently. Zhong Chuhong and the two little radish heads are in a cold war that does not show weakness to each other. On the one hand, his wife wants to support her reward and punishment policy for disciplining her children, and on the other hand, he deliberately sells his poor son and daughter in front of his eyes from time to time, and Li Xuan is in a dilemma.

Of course, the political climate over Hong Kong has also been quite strange lately, as students and citizens have been demonstrating in front of the Governor's Palace for a week as they protest against the Hong Kong government's land and fiscal policies. Dissatisfied with the perfunctory explanation given by the Hong Kong government on this issue, the protests began to slowly sweep all strata of Hong Kong from just a handful of radicals, and the press even raised the slogan of protracted protest!

The past week has undoubtedly been a week of collective carnival for Hong Kong's media industry. This is a serious mass assembly incident that has never occurred in Hong Kong society in the past 20 years since the June 7 Riots!

In the past, some taxi drivers were dissatisfied with the problems of black cars and money, and gathered on the main roads of Hong Kong to block traffic. The shock caused by this is simply not comparable to the current policy of the British authorities in Hong Kong!

All newspapers and periodicals, without exception, devoted a large number of pages to long reports. Replacing taxes with land finance is tantamount to robbing the poor and helping the rich. This novel point of view has aroused a violent response from all walks of life in Hong Kong, especially the people at the bottom!

Hong Kong's land finance is not something that has only emerged in the last year or two, but in the past two decades, with the vigorous development of Hong Kong's real estate industry, land sales have accounted for an increasing proportion of the Hong Kong government's total fiscal revenue. For a long time, this kind of land finance was touted as good governance because it underpinned Hong Kong's long-standing low tax policy.

Isn't it a good thing to make everyone pay less taxes? Not necessarily, because the high cost of land sales is driving up housing prices. With just one house, the government can take all the taxes you have paid for years or even decades, and loot them all at once in disguise. On the contrary, it is a super-rich man like Li Xuan, who pays less money every year because of the low tax rate, which is enough to buy many luxury houses on the top of the Taiping Peak!

So overnight, what was good governance suddenly turned into a bad government that everyone shouted at. For this sudden storm, Li Xuan could even imagine the bewildered expressions on the faces of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion.

As a colony-colony of the British Empire, Hong Kong has neither a trade union nor a political party. The unorganized citizens of Hong Kong are far less enthusiastic about political rallies than in the United Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away. But this time, the protest slogan in front of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion even shouted the slogan "London does not want poll tax, Hong Kong does not want land tax"!

Not long ago, on March 31, countless Londoners took to the streets to protest against the poll tax bill that Thatcher's cabinet was about to come into force the next day. The agitated crowd of demonstrators clashed with the London police, which ended up injuring more than a hundred people!

This tragic incident directly led to the loss of the support of Margaret Thatcher, who has the reputation of the "Iron Lady," in Britain! It is rumored that in order to maintain its ruling position, the Conservative Party is likely to force Thatcher to resign as soon as possible and replace it with a new prime minister to save people's hearts!

The authorities in London have lost face by this "war on poll tax," and the British authorities in Hong Kong have also been distracted by the current situation. At the same time, Li Jiacheng and other local real estate tycoons were about to go north to the capital at the invitation of the central government.

This further misled the judgment of the British authorities in Hong Kong, who thought that the real estate developers in Hong Kong had secretly reached a private deal with the central government in the north, and were ready to coerce public opinion to put pressure on the Hong Kong government authorities. You must know that because of the "Rose Garden Plan" proposed by the Governor of Hong Kong, the relationship between the Hong Kong government and the central government in the mainland has fallen to the lowest point after the Sino-British negotiations.

However, after all, Hong Kong is just a small place, and as long as you take many things seriously, there are not many secrets to speak of. Although Li Jiacheng came forward to form a group to go north under the pressure of Li Xuan's nonchalance, he didn't need to really help Li Xuan carry the entire black cauldron on his head.

So just when His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong invited Li Jiacheng to dinner for a beating, Li Xuan, the real troublemaker, had already left Hong Kong on his own private jet. After the British authorities in Hong Kong find out that he is the real promoter of the whole incident, if the Hong Kong governor asks him by name to clean up the mess, then Li Xuan may really be difficult to ride a tiger.

Although in the rapid growth of the Oriental Group in the past decade, through the gradual transformation of Hong Kong's industrial structure, it has established a profound influence on Hong Kong's society and economy, to the point that even the Hong Kong government cannot suppress it casually. But after all, Hong Kong is still in the hands of the British, and Li Xuan can't really tear his face to lose both.

The so-called in order to avoid the dilemma of eating the he pulled, Li Xuan simply came up with a thirty-six plan to go up. As soon as he left Hong Kong, the problem was left to the British authorities in Hong Kong. Because at this time, it is also impossible for the other party to tear his face, at most, the next time he catches the pigtails of the Eastern Group, he will come back with disgust.

Of course, on the surface, Li Xuan's reason for leaving Hong Kong was not to avoid the limelight, but to give a speech at the invitation of the Organizing Committee of the first Global Internet Conference, as the guest of honor for the opening speech of the conference, to Austin, Texas, USA.

After attending the Global Internet Conference, Li Xuan will also fly to New York to participate in the company's listing bell ringing ceremony on the New York Stock Exchange as the largest shareholder of Oriental System Software. With these two reasons, no one can find fault with Li Xuan.

To say that Li Xuan's butterfly flapping wings has brought the biggest change to the world, it is undoubtedly to accelerate the development of the IT and Internet industries. For example, the computing performance of the CPU, the core element that best represents the performance of the computer, is almost three to five years faster than that of the same period in another time and space.

The progress in the field of the Internet has also entered the fast lane of development four or five years ahead of another time and space. In another time and space, it was not until Clinton took office that the Internet infrastructure in the United States began to enter a period of rapid development under the vigorous promotion of former Democratic senator and Clinton's running mate, the new US Vice President Al Gore.

But now, with Li Xuan's intervention, the elder Bush, who easily won the US presidency by virtue of the remnants of the "Reagan era," began to fulfill the promises he made during the election campaign shortly after entering the White House.

You must know that under Li Xuan's threading of the needle, Silicon Valley, which was originally generally inclined to the Democratic camp, provided a huge amount of campaign funds for Bush Sr. and the Republican Party in the 88 US presidential election.

As soon as he took office, he began to vigorously support the development of high-tech industries represented by IT, the Internet, and biotechnology. Under the continuous hype of Li Xuan and the Oriental Group, the Internet has been a fashionable term in American society in recent years.

And after getting the political endorsement of the new president, a large amount of capital began to pour into this new industry frantically. As a result, since last year, the Internet industry in the United States has ushered in a round of explosive growth.

Don't look at how the Eastern Bloc has been vigorously shouting before, and even built a model project in Hong Kong, but the influence of a company is not at all the same as that of the United States, the world's number one superpower. Driven by the United States, the governments of Europe, Japan and other countries have also followed up and introduced relevant support policies. It was in this context that the first Global Internet Conference was born.

It stands to reason that San Francisco's Silicon Valley, as the center of the global IT industry, should be the perfect place to host the first World Internet Conference. But the more positive attitude of the Austin city government was able to successfully cut off the hue in the end, and this is naturally inseparable from the support of the White House, whether explicit or implicit.

Austin, the capital and political center of Texas, has begun to learn from Silicon Valley in recent years to focus on high-tech industries such as semiconductors and computers. Texas is the nest of the Bush family, and it should be said that the former Bush family followed the traditional Republican line and relied on oil and military industry to start their business.

But with the emergence of Li Xuan, the high-tech industry has also become an important emerging support camp for the Republican Party. Austin, who aspires to develop into a "silicon mound," has become more and more important to the Bush family and even the entire Republican Party.

After all, California has been one of the most important vote bases for the Democratic Party in the past few decades. Rather than continue to compete with the Democrats in Silicon Valley, it is better to simply attract those high-tech companies directly to Austin, which is the home of the Republican Party.

Austin also has its own unique advantages, both land prices and labor costs are much lower than Silicon Valley, where every inch of land is expensive, which can significantly reduce the investment cost of enterprises.

After nearly a decade of combining interests, the Bush family has become Li Xuan's most important political ally in the United States. Therefore, from the very beginning, the Eastern Group has vigorously cooperated with Austin's emerging industry layout, and has invested heavily here in the past few years, becoming its second R&D and manufacturing base in the United States. It is also under the leadership of the Eastern Bloc that more and more Silicon Valley companies have begun to invest and build factories in Texas.

Since George H.W. Bush ascended the throne of the US presidency, Li Xuan's previous political investments have also begun to reap the richest returns. For example, after the elder Bush entered the White House, he began to speed up the computerization of various departments of the federal government. In a number of government procurement bidding, a number of subsidiaries of Oriental Group, including iKang, Oriental System Software, Oriental Commercial Software, etc., have successfully won the bid.

You must know that government procurement has always been a very sensitive matter, for example, the domestic media in another time and space have repeatedly reported that Microsoft has been excluded from the domestic government's procurement list. In addition to supporting domestic production, the reason for this is also due to the consideration of national information security.

And the Eastern bloc, which has foreign companies on its head, is likely to be excluded from the competition list by its American counterparts for the same reason. With the escort of Bush Sr., the Eastern Bloc has successfully taken the most difficult first step. Under the condition that the Eastern Bloc has already obtained the ticket, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for competitors to sweep it away!
