Time passed quickly, and after being reminded twice by the medical assistant, Deng Lao finally decided to end tonight's conversation.

At this time, it was already half past ten in the middle of the night, and Deng Lao had to drive back to the Municipal Party Committee Guest House, and when he really rested, it must be after eleven o'clock. This is indeed a great physical burden for an 80-year-old man who has been visiting and walking around all day.

Before Li Xuan left, Deng Lao suddenly invited him to become a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) to offer suggestions and suggestions for China's modernization cause. Li Xuan was stunned for a while, this is the rhythm of becoming a patriotic businessman who loves Hong Kong!

And holding this kind of official political position is far more disadvantageous than beneficial for Li Xuan. For example, in the future, the Western media will likely portray him as a Chinese parliamentarian. Countries such as Europe and the United States do not have such a thing as a political consultation. It is also impossible for journalists to write a popular science article of more than 10,000 words to introduce readers to what China's political and democratic-democratic consultation is.

The simplest and crudest way to do this is to use similar terms that readers can easily understand. The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) can be said to be the upper house and the lower house, or the House of Representatives and the Senate. As for whether this analogy is accurate, reporters and editors do not go back to care.

Since Li Xuan has become a Chinese parliamentarian, it is easy for people to associate him with the Chinese government. If it was before Li Xuan acquired RCA, he would definitely refuse this proposal without hesitation.

But now that Deng Lao has spoken in person, and the Eastern Group has just been involved in the capital storm, if he refuses directly at this time, it will be too ignorant of current affairs. Li Xuan's brain teaser was running quickly, after thinking about the pros and cons. In the end, he nodded and agreed. But he also made up his mind that he would go to soy sauce in the future. Resolutely bring only ears and eyes, not mouths.

In fact, it has reached the level of Li Xuanxian. He is already qualified to have direct dialogue with the top level of the central government on an equal footing. If he really has any opinions and opinions that need to be expressed, he can do so freely in a private occasion like today, even if some opinions are not very pleasing.

Because on the surface, it is now a place in the mainland that needs Li Xuan, far more than his needs in the mainland. Li Xuan made a lot of demands tonight, such as the fact that the Oriental Group hopes to break the shackles of the mainland's talent distribution system and go directly to universities to recruit graduates. I hope to set up a first-class university in the Special Economic Zone, and I hope to rely on the special status of the Special Economic Zone to try the venture capital model of Silicon Valley.

Even if these requests are denied. It was not a fatal blow to Li Xuan. Even if the Eastern Group directly evacuates Hong Kong, with the foundation that Li Xuan has laid now, and with the help of the rebirth aura, he can still live a very nourishing life.

On the contrary, Li Xuan is not suitable to express too many opinions in public. Because his words and deeds may be interpreted by the media into a variety of different meanings. Li Xuan's current status and influence determine that he will become the focus of attention in the mainland.

In fact, at this juncture, it can be regarded as an excellent time to go to the CPPCC to play soy sauce. The biggest obstacle to the Sino-British negotiations has passed. Hong Kong's social order has stabilized. The current governor, Youde, and the next governor are both moderates, and the-stirring man Patten will not take office until 1992.

Throughout the mid-to-late 80s, Hong Kong was thriving. The cycle of the Sixth CPPCC was from 1983 to 1988. After Li Xuan stepped down in 88, he happened to be able to avoid the most turbulent 8-9 years.

The next day. Deng Lao continued to inspect the Shenhai Special Zone for half a day, and in the afternoon left Shenhai City on a warship at Shekou Wharf and headed for another special zone separated from Macao.

Deng Lao's itinerary to the Deep Sea Special Zone. Naturally, it is impossible to completely hide it from the Hong Kong media. In fact, ATV Media Group's Asia Television Station and Tian Tian Daily both have reporter stations in the SAR. An application for follow-up interviews was also submitted to the relevant authorities in advance, but it was not approved.

And the news that Li Xuan and Deng Lao talked privately. Naturally, it will not be reported in the newspapers. Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong early the next morning, and the relevant departments in the mainland also acted quickly, and within a few days sent special personnel to follow up. The new CPPCC members were elected as early as last year, and Li Xuan can only be regarded as an addendum now.

Unlike the National People's Congress, all members of the CPPCC are not elected, but nominated through recommendations. Li Xuan's recommender is the "red capitalist" Mr. Huo Yingdong, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Sixth CPPCC. In May this year, he needs to go to Beijing to attend the annual "Two Sessions".

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to these things, he was reading an analysis report that had just been faxed from the United States. Due to the appearance of Li Xuan's butterfly, many things in this world have begun to become different from another time and space.

For example, Microsoft, the evil demon king, failed to rise by hugging IBM's thighs, and is still just a small software company with only a dozen employees. Intel Corporation, another giant in the Wintel alliance, is in the most difficult period since the company's establishment. The famous X86 series has completely disappeared in the long river of history, and it is no longer possible to create a huge glory in another time and space.

IBM failed to lead the personal computer revolution, and its new generation of personal computers, the PC-jr, became the most successful of the many ABC-compatible machines. Compaq, which was supposed to be the prelude to PC-compatible machines, did not appear in this time and space at all because Aikang released the portable personal computer ABC-P4 in advance.

Of course, there are some things that stubbornly follow the original trajectory, such as Apple still poaching the new CEO John Scully from PepsiCo like another time and space.

Mr. Scully has been one of the biggest names in the American business community in recent years, and he has presided over a series of large-scale marketing campaigns that have successfully enabled PepsiCo to surpass its rival Coca-Cola and become the new boss of the American beverage industry.

In the past two years, PepsiCo's stock price has skyrocketed, and he is also known as the "Wall Street Fortune Boy", which is favored by the capital market. But this star manager of Wall Street was moved by Apple's board of directors for some reason, and jumped from Pepsi to Apple as CEO.

Although IBM is not as glamorous as another time and space, Compaq is stillborn and does not appear on the stage of personal computers at all. But Apple has met a more demonic Aikang company, and its tragic development in recent years is no better than that of another time and space.

This can also be seen from Apple's stock price. At its peak, Apple's stock price once stood above the $50 mark, but now it has fallen to $20. The company's previous Apple III and Lisa machines have suffered failures, so that the capital market has gradually lost patience with this once star company in the personal computer market.

Apple's board of directors was anxious about this, and it was for this reason that John Scully was approached, hoping that he could replicate the glory of Pepsi on Apple. (To be continued......)
