Chapter 139: Breaking the Ice

Half a month later, Wang Xin was finally able to communicate smoothly with the people in the imperial capital.

Although there was no communication between them about anything particularly important, there were some related situations, including the specific delivery and arrival time of some raw materials, and the results of negotiations with the Sun Never Setting Empire, etc., which Wang Xin could receive through the phone call from the imperial capital in time.

With the arrival of good news, especially the successful arrival of the first batch of raw materials, Wang Xin's mood finally became better some time ago.

There was a sense of joy that the dark and gray sky suddenly appeared bright, bringing hope back to it.

……

"I really didn't expect that the sun never sets on the side of the empire is indeed a little bit of a sign of relaxation.

I originally thought that it would be difficult for the Hong Kong Island side to come back without conquest by force, and it was just a false trick to say that it would be leased for 99 years, but I didn't expect that it would be quite trustworthy over there!"

Because of Wang Xin's reminder, Huaguo's side had already found a way to communicate with the royal family of the Sunset Empire some time ago.

After communication, it was found that the Sun Never Sets Empire did not insist on their proposal, which means that this matter has something to talk about.

In this way, how can you not be happy?

It would always be a shame for them not to take back the territory of the country that had been occupied by other countries, and that it had been occupied by other countries at that time.

At this time, it was the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who spoke, and he said with a rare happy smile.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, especially as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, which is relatively settled at this time and is full of enemies on the outside, life is destined to be relatively difficult.

This is not only on the inside, but also on the outside.

When you go out to communicate with other countries, it is easy to be ignored or despised by other countries.

This is undoubtedly quite face-wrenching.

At this time, how to fight back and not completely anger the other party requires a lot of skill, so this job is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"Yes, we had never thought of this before, and we didn't expect a merchant to tell us.

It seems that the Sun Never Sets Empire, a country that was originally founded on maritime merchants, still abides by the principle of good faith!

But don't take it lightly, it is estimated that the reason why the sun never sets on the empire is willing to loosen its mouth should be more important is that our Huaguo is now becoming more and more powerful and internally unified.

At present, the negotiations over there should be a hurry.

By the way, before, did that Wang Xin say that if he needed funds, he was willing to help pay?"

The vice premier suddenly thought of a little and asked a person on the side who was specifically responsible for contacting Wang Xin.

"Yes, Mr. Wang said that if the Sun Never Sets Empire is unwilling to pay because Hong Kong Island is not due, and proposes to pay liquidated damages, he is willing to help pay it. ”

"Look, this is patriotism!

People are not vain at all, shouting two sentences of patriotism, it is real, and they do it realistically!

If there are more businessmen like this, why should the country not be rich and strong, and why should the second elder be uneasy!"

Hearing this, the deputy prime minister naturally praised him again.

Even if a few people on the side thought in their hearts, this shouldn't be a fool, they still echoed and praised a few times.

……

Early 1972

China successfully redeemed the territory of South Australia ahead of schedule for US$100 million.

Late 1972

China successfully redeemed the territory of Hong Kong Island ahead of schedule with US$300 million.

The port to the governor was withdrawn, and all the departments that originally belonged to the empire on the sun also withdrew, leaving only the departments stationed by local personnel on Hong Kong Island.

China sent a small number of people to take over the major government departments on Hong Kong Island, but because of the consideration that drastic reforms would easily cause riots, they did not make any changes for the time being, and still maintained the original order.

So far!

The territory of the southern border is finally intact.

Of course, the total of 400 million US dollars that needed to be paid was paid by Wang Xin, because at this time, the total foreign exchange of China did not add up to 400 million US dollars.

If Wang Xin doesn't pay, then they can only owe, or there is no way to reach a delivery agreement.

However, Wang Xin paid this money quite happily.

The return of Hong Kong and Macao not only means that the national territory is more complete, but also means that Wang Xin has finally relied on the big backer of China.

In the future, there is no need to be tied up to do some things, and there is no need to worry about Western countries specifically targeting them.

Paying $400 million in protection fees, along with a future big country, is not a very cost-effective thing.

What's more, as far as so many people in China are concerned, the market for anything to sell is more than 400 million US dollars.

On the day of the completion of the handover, the whole country in China celebrated, and the national radio and television stations sang and laughed loudly to celebrate the return of Hong Kong and Macao.

And the next day, Wang Xin was finally able to go home openly.

This time, because he was just coming back to explore, Wang Xin didn't bring any property, but just a bunch of gifts, and was escorted back to the town where he stayed by the Chinese military.

In any case, even if the original fluctuations of the cultural revolution in China have not completely calmed down, no one dares to disadvantage Wang Xin.

After all, he is now the number one contributor to the return of Hong Kong and Macao.

If he can be persecuted at home, then Huaguo is afraid that no one will be sincerely patriotic.

Just kidding, such heroes can be persecuted, so which Chinese would dare to come back and do things for the country.

Therefore, the safety of Wang Xin's return can still be guaranteed, and the state will never allow him to be in danger.

Now he's an iconic figure.

It represents an iconic figure in China's official opening to the outside world and welcoming foreign investors back to invest.

Along the way, Wang Xin first took a ferry into the mainland, and then the rest of the journey was to take a military vehicle to open the road, driving and stopping all the way, and tossing for several days before coming to the small town where he originally lived.

After coming here, Wang Xin did not stop, but first went to the small Qingshan where his grandmother guarded the tomb.

Standing at the foot of Xiaoqing Mountain, Wang Xin suddenly stopped his steps, and some did not dare to go up further.

Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years since this parting, and I don't know what his aunt and grandmother are like now, and I don't know if the hard life here will make his aunt and grandmother very uncomfortable.

Although the time is a bit long, so long that his impression of his parents in this life is a little weak, but the impression of his aunt and grandmother is particularly deep.

Even now, Wang Xin vaguely remembers how many wrinkles his aunt and grandmother had on their foreheads when he left.

This is probably the personality charm.
