In 1981, there were only 7 foreign-related reception hotels in Beijing, but both hardware and supporting software services were very different from foreign star-rated hotels. Therefore, the Hong Kong petition group was arranged to stay at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, which is specially responsible for foreign affairs protocol services.

The Hong Kong delegation stayed in Building 18 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Among the many hotel buildings in Diaoyutai, Buildings 12 and 18 stand out the most, which are dedicated to hosting foreign heads of state and government leaders. In 1972, when Nixon visited China for the first time to break the ice, he lived in Building 18. It can also be seen that the Beijing-Beijing side attaches great importance to the Hong Kong people.

On the afternoon of arrival in Beijing, no activities were arranged, and everyone took a short rest in the state guesthouse. Building 18 is a building that imitates the Ming style palace on the outside, with antique decoration and interior decoration, quite a royal style.

It is located in the center of the Diaoyu Tai, on the north side of the central lake, Li Xuan stands in front of the window sill of the living room of the luxury suite and looks out the window, and everywhere in his eyes is the exquisitely designed southern garden-style beauty.

"Xu Sheng, the scenery of your suite is very good!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"If you are really envious, I can exchange it with you!" Xu Shixun laughed, "I heard that Xiaoyou, you recently bought a piece of land in Shek O to build a luxury villa, are you preparing a gold house to hide Jiaojiao?"

Shek O is located in the easternmost part of Hong Kong Island, far away from the urban area of Hong Kong, with beautiful scenery and a clean environment. Originally, a number of HSBC executives built luxury villas here. Not long ago, Li Xuan also chose a piece of land near the sea to build a private holiday villa on the edge of Shek O Country Club.

"I just want to find a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle. Give yourself a place to think quietly!" Li Xuan shook his head and said.

"The bigger the company's development, the more people are walking on thin ice. At the time of leaps and bounds. It's time to calm down and think about it, and summarize whether there is a latent crisis that has been missed!" Xu Shixun nodded and said appreciatively. "Jiahua Bank has been shrinking loans to the real estate industry recently, isn't it that you are not optimistic about the next development of the real estate industry?"

"Hehe, it can't be said that I am not optimistic, but the credit structure of Jiahua Bank in the early stage is not very reasonable, and the proportion of real estate loans is too high. In my opinion, after the previous round of six or seven consecutive years of real estate growth, housing prices have been a little high, and there is a risk of bubbles! Jiahua's recent actions are just a normal operation to avoid risks!" Li Xuan explained.

Jiahua Bank's actions in the previous half a year are not a secret at all in the eyes of those who care. After a series of operations. Jiahua Bank has recovered a large amount of credit funds from the real estate industry and invested them in the electronics industry.

"You have a very unique vision, and the previous issue of land lease in the New Territories has affected the development of new towns such as Tai Po and Tuen Mun! The mainland government and the British government will certainly soon start negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, and if things do not go well, Hong Kong's property prices are very likely to plummet! How determined do you think the mainland government is to take back Hong Kong?"

Xu Shixun frowned and said. The Hui family, known as the first generation of ship kings in Hong Kong, has abandoned the boat and landed as early as the 60s. The steamship under its name has long since been sold out, and the family's assets are mainly concentrated in the real estate industry. It can be said that Hong Kong's future has a direct bearing on the direct and vital interests of the Hui family. The reason why Xu Shixun joined the visiting group was also to take the opportunity to go north to find out the news in person.

Hong Kong's return to China is a national righteousness. Naturally, every Chinese did not dare to openly say that they could let the British continue to colonize. But for a rich man like Xu Shixun, there may not be no other thoughts in his heart. The British could only be second-class citizens if they continued to be governed, but at least their current wealth would not be threatened in the slightest, and no one could tell what would happen in the future if the mainland took over.

"Xu Sheng. Do you know? Since last year, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse has been officially open to the public! It is said that the price of a one-night stay in such a luxurious presidential suite is $3,998! As early as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the closure of the country to the outside world has been proved to be incompatible with the development and changes of society! I think that this time the mainland government has taken the action of reform and opening up. It's serious, and the attitude of the Beijing-Beijing side is becoming more and more open!

As for the future of Hong Kong. I don't think the British can do much as long as the mainland government takes a firm stand. The New Territories, which expired in '97, accounted for 92% of Hong Kong's area. As long as the mainland insists on reclaiming the New Territories. The UK is not worth much even if it relies on the remaining 8%!

What's more, the mainland government has never even positively recognized the three treaties that Britain now holds in its hands, do you think they may accept that Britain will continue to rule Hong Kong? You must know that China is also a member of the five permanent Security Councils, and if the New Territories lease expires and Hong Kong cannot be taken back, how can the government explain to all the people of the country, and this blow to its prestige will endanger the foundation of its rule!" Li Xuan said softly.

"Li Sheng, Xu Sheng, Chairman Deng of the Central Committee has already set up a banquet in the Great Hall of the People to welcome everyone and wash away the dust!" Huo Yingdong came in and said with a smile, he was the chairman and convener of the Hong Kong delegation, and came to inform everyone to prepare to leave.

The group quickly left the State Guesthouse and headed for the Great Hall of the People by car, and the courtesy car Li Xuan was in was a German Volkswagen. The mainland's automobile industry, like other aspects, is far behind the international advanced level, and the famous Hongqi cars are close to stopping production because of their high fuel consumption, high costs, and low output. The Shanghai Automobile Plant is negotiating with Volkswagen of Germany, hoping to introduce technology through a joint venture to rapidly improve the level of the domestic automobile industry.

Li Xuan looked out the car window at Chang'an Avenue, the sky in Beijing in 1981 was blue and transparent, and the road was wide and smooth. In this era, are the people of Beijing very happy? They do not have to endure the destruction of health caused by smog, and they do not have to endure the waste of life caused by traffic jams. But this was a time of material scarcity, and most goods needed to be supplied by ticket.

If you ask the people of this era, as long as the sky is a little grayer, they can live a life of upstairs and downstairs, elevators and telephones, are they willing? It is guaranteed that everyone will look at you with the eyes of a fool, even if they are willing to reduce their life expectancy by ten years! If you can have a car of your own, what are you afraid of in traffic jams, even if you sleep in the car every day!

Thinking of this, Li Xuan shook his head gently, with some emotion in his heart. In the next 30 years, this country will create an economic miracle that has never been seen before in the world, and everyone who has participated in and witnessed this miracle is enough to be proud!

Don't talk about economic development brought about by sacrificing the environment, it's better not to talk nonsense. The person who said these words was purely a neurotic who stood and spoke without backache. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to get it, you have to pay for it. Developed countries are not philanthropists, and high-tech industries that are high-profit and environmentally friendly must be left to their own enterprises and people to enjoy.

The seats of all the people in the banquet hall had been arranged in advance, and the standard of the reception banquet was very high, and there were four or five members of the Standing Committee of the Political Affairs Bureau who came to attend. Li Xuan saw many party and state leaders who had only appeared in history textbooks before, and he was inevitably a little excited, and he had a sense of witnessing the vicissitudes of history.

The toast was made by Chairman Deng, who now holds the position of chairman of the Central Military Commission and chairman of the National Political Consultative Council. Today, in his capacity as chairman of the CPPCC, he is responsible for entertaining everyone, because after all, united front work is an important function of the CPPCC.

"I heard that you are the most powerful God of Wealth in Hong Kong, I want to shake hands with you for a while, and I will also get a touch of wealth!"

This is what Deng Lao said when he shook hands with Li Xuan just now, Mandarin with a thick Shu accent is full of humor and humor, and there is an admirable appeal.

At the end of the toast, the dinner officially began, sitting on Li Xuan's left hand side was Hao Weimin, director of the State Administration of Computer Industry, and on the right hand side was Xie Li, minister of the Fourth Ministry of Machinery Industry. The Fourth Machinery Industry is responsible for the entire electronics industry in the country. Therefore, the mainland reception party thought very carefully when sitting in a row, and Li Xuan was fortunate to be entertained by two ministerial-level officials.

"Mr. Li, recently our General Administration of Computer Industry is responsible for compiling a set of university textbooks for the Ministry of Education, I wonder if we can get your company's help?" Director Hao Weimin asked with a sincere face.

"It is my duty to make a modest contribution to the cause of education in China!" CUHK and HKU are different in that they use Chinese as teaching. The Institute of Oriental Studies has previously collaborated with CUHK to translate a series of English computer textbooks into Chinese.

You can use these materials as a reference, and here, on behalf of the Institute of Oriental Studies, I would like to pledge to be very willing to carry out exchanges and cooperation in the field of education and scientific research with relevant personnel in the mainland.

Not long ago, the Oriental Research Institute and the Ministry of Education launched a talent exchange program called 'Dongfanghong'. In the near future, we will also carry out scientific research cooperation with many famous universities in China!" Li Xuan replied very officially.

"Mr. Li, your Dongfang Electronics Company is also well-known in the mainland, and the department has received no less than ten reports on the application to buy your ABC computer, and I am also your customer!" Xie Li on the side also said with a smile.

"Then I would like to thank Minister Xie for your support for the development of Aikang Company, as one of the shareholders of Aikang Company, I would like to toast you here to express my gratitude!" Li Xuan said with a sincere toast.

"I wonder if Mr. Li has considered coming to the mainland to invest? Many of the state-owned electronics factories under our Fourth Machinery Department are very good in strength and have sufficient talents, but they are unable to update their equipment in time due to a shortage of funds. If your company is willing to cooperate, you will contribute technology and capital, we will provide talents and land, and the two sides will build a joint venture factory, which can achieve strong alliance, mutual benefit and win-win results!" Minister Xie did not beat around the bush and generously stated his purpose.

Li Xuan shook his head bitterly and said apologetically: "Dongfang Electronics has been working hard to achieve flat management, focusing on R&D and sales, and most of the specific production links are outsourced, and we rarely build factories to produce products by ourselves!"
