Chapter 276: A Trip to Taiwan-Bay

The next day, Margaret Thatcher held a press conference in Hong Kong, and she once again reaffirmed that the three treaties signed by the British government and the Manchu dynasty were in accordance with international law and had legal effect. The British Government has a moral responsibility and obligation to the future of Hong Kong's five million citizens.

Her speech was immediately refuted by the Beijing government, and the Chinese people never recognized all the unequal treaties that Britain had forced China to sign by force. China will certainly take back Hong Kong by 1 July 1997.

In the midst of such a war of words, China and Britain sent delegations to Beijing to begin formal consultations. 1982 was not an optimistic year for Hong Kong's economy, as exports suffered greatly due to the global recession. The adverse effects of political turmoil have further exacerbated the already fragile economy.

This is also one of the important reasons why the stock market and the property market have both dived. The Hang Seng Index continues to move towards 750 after falling below the 800-point mark in early October. This is nearly half of the high of 1,400 points in the first half of the year.

The Hong Kong government held another land auction on October 20, this time offering high-quality land plots. In addition, the average price of land has been reduced by 20% compared to the price when a large number of unsold auctions last month, but there are still few applicants. As a result, the Hong Kong government will run a deficit this year, and this news has further exacerbated market concerns about the future shape of the economy.

At the same time, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar continued to depreciate. In 1980, 1 US dollar could only be exchanged for 5 Hong Kong dollars. At the beginning of this year, the exchange rate broke 6, and by the end of October, the exchange rate had broken 7. 1 US dollar can already be exchanged for 7.05 Hong Kong dollars.

On the surface. The depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar seems to be good for exports, but the reality is not so rosy. Hong Kong is a free port. Most of the industrial raw materials need to be imported, so this part of the cost will not be reduced by the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar.

At the same time, Hong Kong also needs to import a large amount of daily necessities. The depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar has caused the price of many goods to rise, and the cost of living in society has begun to skyrocket, forcing companies to start raising wages. The rise in wages further offset the cost advantage of the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar.

Of course, while Hong Kong's economy is in a recession, the companies under the Oriental Electronics Group are still thriving. With the vigorous development of the game industry and the personal computer industry, Dongfang Electronics' products are in short supply. Such a stark contrast has further established the strong position of Oriental Company in Hong Kong's electronics industry, and even in the entire industry and commerce. More and more Hong Kong companies want to cooperate with Dongfang Electronics. Joined the industrial system of Dongfang Electronics.

At the moment when Hong Kong was in turmoil, Li Xuan stepped on a flight to Taipei. Zhong Chuhong is going to Taipei to participate in the 19th Golden Horse Awards, and Li Xuan is ready to show affection together.

Even at the moment when the Sino-British negotiations were opened, which was related to the future and fate of Hong Kong, the shrewd reporters still did not let go of the "God of Wealth" who often brought them bonuses. As long as you keep an eye on Li Xuan, you can often get the headlines, which is already the consensus of the media community in Hong Kong.

Because of this, not long after Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong with Limeiren, he was soon discovered by a reporter with a keen sense of smell. Photos of the two on a sweet date in private. Soon appeared in the newspapers. "God of Wealth Lee" had a private meeting with his lover, and Hong Kong newspapers naturally would not let go of such exciting news.

Fortunately, everyone's energy is focused on the negotiations on the Hong Kong issue. There is also a lot less enthusiasm for Li Xuan's scandal. None of the rich men are good! Although many people say so, in fact, most of the women think in their hearts, how good it would be if this little lover could be themselves!

Even if you can't be the main room. With the net worth of up to 50 billion (Hong Kong dollars) of "God of Wealth Li", even if he is a side room, he is not aggrieved. If only I could have a son and a half daughter. Even if you don't fight with the children of the main family, it's not too much to inherit a billions of assets!

As for the men. Although verbally he wants to draw a clear line with Li Xuan, he will establish the image of a single-minded good man in front of his girlfriend and wife. But in the hearts of the silk, there is no envy, jealousy and hatred!

Seeing that Li Xuan had a bright and moving wife hidden in his house, he hooked up with a delicate lover outside. In the newspaper photos, Lizhi's delicate and bumpy devil figure, and a few men who don't drool. They can't wait to be able to incarnate as Li Xuan and enjoy the romance of this winner in life.

Although Zhong Chuhong had known about Lizhi's existence for a long time, he still didn't feel good when he saw the photos of his man's tryst with the fox spirit in the newspapers. Especially when some reporters wanted to interview her, the mood was even worse, so it was inevitable to give Li Xuan some looks.

At this time, Li Xuan naturally had to hurry up to smooth out the crisis in the backyard. It happened that Zhong Chuhong was going to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, so Li Xuan simply accompanied her to avoid these annoying reporters in Hong Kong.

"Li Sheng, the "Chasing Girls" you wrote before created a series. It's a pity that Li Sheng, you are too successful in other careers, otherwise Hong Kong could have one more excellent filmmaker!" In the first class, a man with glasses was touting Li Xuan.

Li Xuan didn't know if there had been a similar movie in Hong Kong before "Chasing the Girl". Anyway, after he became famous, "Chasing Girls" was hailed as the originator of Hong Kong's youth love light comedy. It is said that during this time, with the signboard of the only screenwriting work of the world's richest man "God of Wealth Li", "Chasing Girls", which has been released for almost two years, has become hot again in the video tape market.

The Asian film company established by Li Xuan and Zeng Zhiwei two years ago has become the third largest film company in Hong Kong after nearly two years of development, after nearly two years of development. Golden Harvest has been the hegemon of Hong Kong film since defeating the Shaw Brothers in the 70s. Behind Asia Pictures is the powerful resources of ATV TV as a backer, but another giant, Xinyicheng Company, is really rising like a comet.

The gentle and elegant man sitting on the other side of the aisle in the cabin in front of Li Xuan and talking and laughing with him was one of the three bosses of the New Art City Film Company, Huang Baiming. Like Li Xuan and his wife, the purpose of his trip was to go to Taipei to participate in the 19th Golden Horse Awards.

"The "Best Partner" released by Xinyicheng Company at the beginning of this year collected 27 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong alone, and my level is not even an axe in front of Mr. Huang!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Under the influence of Li Xuan's butterfly, in the original "Seven Monsters of New Art City", Zeng Zhiwei has already become the president of Asia Pictures. Naturally, he could not direct "Best Partner" like in his previous life, but the film was still an unprecedented success at the box office.

In the collective creation mode of New Arts City, the role of individuals in film is actually greatly weakened. With the support of Lei Juekun, the boss of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, the rise of New Art City has been extremely strong since last year. This year, with the help of "Best Partner", Golden Princess Cinemas successfully pressed the competitors Golden Harvest Cinemas and Shaw Brothers Cinemas under him.

Along the way, Li Xuan chatted warmly with the flattering Boss Huang, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Taipei Taoyuan Airport. After Huang Baiming said goodbye to them, he left with the reception staff of the Golden Horse Award Organizing Committee. Although Zhong Chuhong is also here to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, Li Xuan actually has another itinerary.

Dongfang Semiconductor's wafer factory in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has finally been completed after more than a year of intense construction. Li Xuan's trip to Taiwan, in addition to accompanying Zhong Chuhong to attend the Golden Horse Award ceremony, is also preparing to participate in the commissioning ceremony of Dongfang Semiconductor's first wafer factory in Asia.

Li Xuan's identity is different now, with the halo of the world's richest man on his head, and the treatment he gets is naturally different. As soon as he walked out of the VIP aisle, the reporters waiting on either side immediately pressed the shutter of the camera. In the midst of flashing lights, Li Xuan shook hands and talked cordially with the two ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Affairs who came to pick up the plane.

Not long ago, China and the United States issued the "17 August" communique, which is undoubtedly a blow to the Taiwan authorities. After Nixon's visit to China in 1972, China began to see a third wave of diplomatic relations. By 1982, most countries in the world had formal diplomatic relations with China.

At the same time that the mainland is making great progress, it means that Taiwan is losing and retreating. The severance of diplomatic relations between one country after another has caused Taibei's political influence on the international stage to shrink rapidly. Under pressure from China, it is rare for important figures to visit Taiwan. Even the visit of a businessman like Li Xuan was also courteous to the Executive Yuan, and two ministers were sent to greet him.

Li Xuan's trip to Taiwan is to brush up on his good feelings. Now Taiwan is in the most pessimistic and lost stage, and it seems that the whole world has abandoned it. Li Xuan's high-profile visit at this time was able to fully win the favor of the Taiwan authorities.

As for the reaction of the mainland side, they also have no right to block the normal commercial investment of the Eastern Bloc in Taiwan. Moreover, Li Xuan had also released a series of goodwill in the mainland before. On the issue of Hong Kong's sovereignty before, he did not show a pro-British posture like others.

With Li Xuan's growing influence in Hong Kong, he is the other party that the mainland government urgently needs a united front, and it is impossible for him to adopt a hostile policy just because of a visit to Taiwan. On his trip to Taiwan, Li Xuan also greeted the Hong Kong Xinhua Branch in advance.

The Xinhua Branch's reply only said that he regretted it and hoped that his visit to Taiwan would make some positive contributions to cross-strait reunification instead of causing interference. After Li Xuan's think tank analyzed the mainland's reply, it was completely relieved.

Because the mainland has been closed to the outside world for a long time, economic and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Taiwan have become closer. (To be continued......)
