Zeng Jiahao and Li Liang are old acquaintances, last year Mr. Yang injected capital into poverty alleviation, invested in the kiwifruit planting industry in Hekang County, was sent to Hekang by Mr. Yang at that time, and Li Liang's second uncle Li Shuangyang to take care of the investment accounts, is Zeng Jiahao.

At that time, Zeng Jiahao had no friends in Hekang, and the most familiar one was Li Liang's second uncle Li Shuangyang. Li Liang and Zeng Jiahao have eaten together several times, and the two are very familiar with each other.

Zeng Jiahao, as Mr. Yang's secretary, knew that his boss valued Li Liang's uncle Li Shuangtong, and he attached great importance to the matter of being sent to accompany Li Liang and the three of them to Hong Kong City this time, and the arrangements were also very appropriate.

After complicated procedures, Li Liang and the three finally passed through the Luohu port on the side of Pengcheng and set foot on the land of the port city. Like them, there are many mainlanders and Hong Kong people who have cleared customs and entered the port city, and everyone is excited. For mainlanders who have just left the country, going to Hong Kong City is tantamount to traveling abroad.

Yangcheng and Pengcheng are at the forefront of reform and opening up, and they are also the closest to Hong Kong City, and people here are more or less familiar with Hong Kong City than other mainlanders.

No, Li Liang was holding a bag in one hand and Chenchen's hand in the other, following behind Zeng Jiahao and his uncle Li Shuangyuan, Chenchen was a little nervous, it was the first time in his life to go abroad.

Li Liang turned his head sideways and smiled at Chenchen, signaling Chenchen not to be nervous.

Zeng Jiahao walked in front of him and said with a smile: "Ah Yuan, Liangzi, Chenchen, don't be nervous. This is your first time here, in fact, there is not so much difference between the port city and the mainland, it is just that the economy here is better, and there are more high-rise buildings. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there are more ghosts on the streets here, it would be no different from those in Yangcheng and Pengcheng, all of them are yellow-skinned Chinese!"

Tsang Ka-ho often accompanies Mr. Yang in and out of the mainland, and he is well aware of the development speed of the mainland in recent years. For people like Mr. Yang who are engaged in industry, it is more advantageous to develop in the mainland. Mr. Yang often told him in private that according to the current form, as long as the mainland's policies are no longer changed at will, other places dare not say it, but the development of Yangcheng and Pengcheng will definitely not be too slow.

Zeng Jiahao arranged the reception vehicle of the headquarters in Hong Kong City in advance before departure, and not long after the four people came out of the customs clearance port, they saw a black Toyota car. The driver of this car saw Zeng Jiahao and others from a distance, enthusiastically came out of the cab on the right side, and enthusiastically helped Li Liang and his party put their luggage in the trunk of the car. Then opened the door of the back seat, Li Liang, Li Shuangyuan and Chen Chen sat in the back of the car, and Zeng Jiahao sat in the co-pilot seat on the left side of the driver.

Chenchen got into the car, only to find that the driver's seat was on the right side of the vehicle, and she asked a little surprised: "Brother Hao, why is the driver's seat of this car on the right?"

Zeng Jiahao said with a smile when he heard this: "Chenchen, almost everyone who comes to Hong Kong City from the mainland for the first time will ask this question. In fact, this is because our port city is a British colony, and the United Kingdom and its colonies and dependent countries adopt the principle of left-hand traffic, and the driver's seat is located on the right side of the vehicle. ”

The driver of this car is the driver of Mr. Yang's headquarters in Hong Kong City, he is about forty years old, hearing Chenchen's question and Zeng Jiahao's answer, he smiled slightly, did not speak, and seemed to know the rules very well.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Chen Chen suddenly realized, she said to Li Liang a little gloomily, "Liangzi, I don't know when our country will be able to take the port city back from the British." ”

Li Liang said comfortingly: "Soon, the term of the British lease of the port city from the Qing Dynasty was 99 years, and it will expire in 1997, and it will be more than ten years!"

The background of Li Liang's remarks is that he knows that at this time the British and Deng Weiren were already negotiating on the future of the port city, and now it is January 1984, and in the original history, China and Britain will sign a formal Sino-British joint declaration in Beijing on December 19, 1984, and it is a sure thing that the port city will return in 1997.

Of course, the contents of the negotiations between China and Britain have not yet been exposed, and the newspapers in the port city are still vowing today that the British Empire will not allow the mainland to take back the port city, and tomorrow it may be that the mainland will take back the port city by force. These repeated remarks have made the people of Hong Kong City at a loss, which has also led to a certain impact on the real estate market and financial market of Hong Kong City after the official release of the Sino-British Joint Statement.

When the driver heard Li Liang's categorical remarks, he had a somewhat different opinion, and he said: "Sir, how can you be so sure that the port city will be returned to the mainland in 1997? Our port city is so prosperous and stable, and your mainland is so backward, when the time comes, won't the port city become the same as your mainland?"

At this time, most of the ordinary people in the port city do not have a deep sense of identity with the mainland, and most people still have reservations about the return of the port city, and the main reason is that they are worried that after the return of the port city, the port city will be abandoned by European and American countries, and when the time comes, the port city will accept the management of the mainland and may become as backward as the mainland.

This trend of thought also affected the negotiations between Deng Weiren and Thatcher, so much so that in the Sino-British Joint Statement formally signed, it was specifically explained on relevant matters, mainly after the return of the port city, except for foreign affairs and defense affairs under the management of the Central People's Government, the port city enjoys a high degree of autonomy, such as administrative power, legislative power, independent judicial power and final adjudication power, and the current law remains basically unchanged. Chinese and foreign civil servants and police officers who have previously served in various government departments in Hong Kong City may be retained. Government departments in Hong Kong City may employ British nationals or other expatriates to serve as consultants or in certain public offices. The current social and economic system of the port city will remain unchanged, and the way of life will remain unchanged. The city guarantees the rights and freedoms of the person, speech, press, assembly, association, travel, movement, correspondence, strike, choice of occupation and academic research, and religious belief in accordance with the law. Private property, business ownership, legal inheritance, and foreign investment are all protected by law.

Li Liang smiled and did not refute the driver's words.

Zeng Jiahao faced this problem and could not express his opinion. After all, Yu Gong is the receptionist of Li Liang and them to Hong Kong today, and he also agrees with the driver's statement if he is private.

Chenchen and Li Shuangyu listened to Li Liang's words and didn't speak anymore, everyone knew that this was a heavy topic. So the atmosphere in the car, in such a heavy atmosphere, lasted all the way to the hotel. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
