Chapter 69: The Prime Minister Falls

Wang Jie's layout actually began in early June. In advance, he had asked the butler Old Jim to find a team of traders, and in order to avoid accidents, he had no use for the hired personnel who bought and sold oil futures last time. Many people say that it is better to use new than familiar in the financial field, in fact, if Wang Jie is not a traverser, he really does not dare to disobey this iron law, but in the turbulent stock market, it is inevitable that he will not attract people's attention if he can grasp the opportunity every time.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it came to September 24, 1982, on which the heads of state of China and Britain officially opened the first round of negotiations.

On September 22, 1982, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's visit to China kicked off the Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue. On September 24, Deng Weiren met with Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher adhered to the position of "the validity of the three treaties" and asserted that if China replaced British rule, "the Hong Kong River would collapse" and would jeopardize China's "four modernizations" construction. In response to this argument, Deng Weiren replied-for-tat: "On the issue of sovereignty, China has no room for maneuver on this issue. Frankly, the question of sovereignty is not an issue that can be discussed. The time is ripe for a clear certainty: China will take back the Xiangjiang in 1997. In other words, China wants to recover not only the New Territories, but also Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon. It was on this premise that China and Britain held talks to discuss the principles and methods for settling the Hong Kong issue. Deng Weiren said: "As for the possibility that Hong Kong Island will fluctuate once Huaxia announces that it will take back the Hong Kong River in 1997, my view is that small fluctuations are inevitable, and if China and Britain have a cooperative attitude to solve this problem, they can avoid big fluctuations." I would also like to tell my wife that when the Huaxia government made this decision, it had estimated all kinds of possibilities. We also considered a question that we were reluctant to consider, namely, what if there were serious fluctuations in the river during the 15-year transitional period, when the Huaxia government would be forced to think differently about when and how it would be recovered. If announcing that we want to take back Hong Kong will be like Madame said, 'bringing catastrophic impact', then we must bravely face this disaster and make decisions. Deng Weiren also said: "We have waited for 33 years, plus 15 years, that is, 48 years, and we can only wait for such a long time on the basis of the people's full dependence." If we don't take it back after 15 years, the people will have no reason to trust us, and any Chinese government should go into the field and automatically withdraw from the political arena, with no other choice. Deng Weiren's sonorous and forceful statement forced Britain to negotiate with China on the Hong Kong issue on the basis of China's proposal.

In mid-August, Wang Jie asked Jiayi TV to send a reporter based in Yanjing, in order to record historical moments and further expand Jiayi's influence in Xiangjiang.

As long as the TV is turned on, many of the large and small stores and families in Xiangjiang are locked in the live news broadcast of Jiayi TV.

Mao Shunjun, the beautiful hostess on TV, held a microphone with the logo of Jiayi Channel and said: "Audience friends in Xiangjiang, now is the news brought back by Jiayi Channel from the streets of Yanjing. You can see behind me, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is likely to pass through this street, which is undergoing another major clean-up, and security has been strengthened today...... It's ten o'clock in the morning, and it's the rush hour in Yanjing, and you can see the spectacular sight of the sea of bicycles. Let's now interview ordinary passers-by in Yanjing......"

This Sino-British negotiation has attracted great attention from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and major newspapers have been reporting on this matter half a month in advance.

However, in the past, those reports were either buying news from large news agencies, or turning over history to make comments and reports, and only Jiayi TV was willing to send a press group to Yanjing to report and interview.

"That's Yanjing, the building doesn't look tall, but the road is so wide. ”

"There are also few cars, and mainland Chinese people are too poor to afford a car. ”

"Dressed like a countryman, old-fashioned. ”

"Look, there's a couple of PLAs over there. ”

“……”

Many people in Xiangjiang who were standing in front of the TV were discussing enthusiastically.

At this time, the TV stations in Xiangjiang did not have the condition of satellite live broadcast, in fact, the program being broadcast was filmed one day in advance, and then sent back to Xiangjiang by plane overnight, and broadcast on Jiayi Comprehensive Station and News Station during the day the next day. But it is these ordinary Yanjing street scenes and passers-by that make countless Xiangjiang citizens curious, because most of them are seeing the real Yanjing for the first time.

I saw Mao Shunjun, the beautiful host on TV, walking into a private house in BJ Hutong and interviewing an ordinary worker.

The questions and answers are all spoken in Mandarin, but fortunately, subtitles are made at the bottom of the screen, so that many viewers in Hong Kong who only know Cantonese can know what they are talking about.

Mao Shunjun asked, "May I ask what is the surname of this gentleman?"

The worker who was interviewed was quite shy, and in the face of the beautiful reporter who was dressed fashionably and fragrantly, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time to reply: "Don't have your surname Zhang, just call me Lao Zhang." ”

Mao Shunjun asked, "Do you know that Margaret Thatcher is coming to Yanjing for a visit?"

Lao Zhang, a worker, replied: "Why don't you know, we workers are the masters of the country, and of course we must be concerned about national affairs every day." ”

Mao Shunjun asked: "What do you think about the Xiangjiang issue? Do you think this negotiation will go smoothly?"

Lao Zhang said without thinking about it: "Xiangjiang is the territory of China, and the Qing government was defeated backward in the past, and Xiangjiang was ceded to the British. Now that New China is becoming stronger day by day, it will definitely take back Xiangjiang. ”

Mao Shunjun asked again: "What if the negotiations between China and Britain break down this time?"

Lao Zhang clenched his fists and waved his hand, and said: "Then fight, fight with the British, as long as I can recover Hong Kong Island, it is worth it for me to give up my life." ”

Mao Shunjun was stunned for a moment, then turned to face the camera, and said in Cantonese: "We just interviewed an ordinary worker in Yanjing, without any planning and communication in advance. From an ordinary Chinese mainlander, you can feel the determination of the Chinese authorities to take back Xiangjiang. However, for the people of Hong Kong Island, I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing......"

Shao Yifu's mid-mountain Haozi is actually only 100 meters away from Wang Jie's No. 1 villa. At this time, Shao Yifu was dining with his eldest son Shao Weizhong and his wife Huang Meizhen, Fang Yihua was still in the outer room at the moment, and Shao Yifu gave her the title of the main room after he was 100 years old.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

The maid picked up the phone and walked over, leaned into Shao Yifu's ear and whispered, "Master, Ms. Fang's phone from the TV station!"

Shao Yifu pretended that nothing had happened and calmly answered the phone.

Mrs. Shao's face was temporarily unhappy, but then returned to normal and beckoned her son and daughter-in-law to eat more.

Shao Weizhong said: "Mom, you have been in poor health, you will be raised for a period of time when you go to the United States, and staying here is also angry with that woman." ”

"Let's talk about it later, when you get older, you can't move if you can. Huang Meizhen said.

If you want to talk about the love story of Run Run Shaw and Huang Meizhen, it can definitely be made into a movie and interpret a romantic legend.

More than 40 years ago, Shaw had already made a name for himself in Nanyang, and his talent was appreciated by a wealthy Singaporean businessman. The wealthy Singaporean businessman often invited Shao Yifu to his house to play, and Huang Meizhen was the girlfriend of the wealthy businessman at the time.

The handsome and talented Shao Yifu fell in love with the beautiful Huang Meizhen in a wealthy businessman, and this pair of handsome men and beauties soon became popular and made a private decision for life.

After learning that he had been dumped, the wealthy businessman laughed very generously and fulfilled the lovers of Run Run Shaw and Huang Meizhen.

According to Western fairy tales, that is: the prince and the princess live happily ever after.

However, from the perspective of the house fight, marriage is just the beginning of the story. After the two got married, Shao Yifu, as a Nanyang movie tycoon, naturally had no shortage of beauties around him, and later there was a Fang Yihua.

However, Shao Yifu still respects the original partner very much, although he accepted Fang Yihua as a concubine, but he did not take him to live at home, he just often ran on both sides, and Fang Yihua rarely came to the original partner to eat.

Shao Yifu picked up the phone, and Fang Yihua's anxious voice came out of the phone: "Sixth brother, something is wrong!"

Shao Yifu asked, "What's the big deal that makes you so anxious to call at this time?"

Fang Yihua said: "The British Prime Minister fell in BJ, and tonight's TV series on Jiayi Channel has been canceled, and the news is being broadcast!"

Shao Yifu asked in great surprise: "Margaret Thatcher only fell in the morning, and the fastest newspaper in Xiangjiang will not report until tomorrow, how can Jiayi Channel broadcast it at eight o'clock in the evening?"

Fang Yihua said: "It's true, I estimate that Jiayitai's ratings are soaring now!"

Shao Yifu was silent for a while, and said: "It's too late to send reporters to Yanjing now, let the Ministry of Information try to save the ratings." Anyway, the Sino-British negotiations passed quickly, and it didn't hurt to let Jiayitai win for a while. ”

After hanging up the phone, Shao Yifu tuned the TV channel to Jiayi Complex, and the TV picture of Margaret Thatcher's wrestling was repeated countless times. In addition, the location host of Phoenix Channel also gave a detailed introduction to various interesting facts about the meeting between Margaret Thatcher and Deng Weiren. For example, when waiting for the two of them, reporters from various countries competed for a good shooting position, and as a result, a foreign reporter was hit by the lens of a Huaxia TV photographer, and the gringo turned around and kicked the Huaxia photographer in the waist, and the latter did not show weakness, scooped up his fist and hit back.

Seeing that the two reporters were about to fight in front of the Great Hall of the People, and the colleagues next to them came to fight, at this time, Deng Weiren and Margaret Thatcher appeared, and the reporter fight finally subsided.

Run Run Shaw watched it for a few minutes and changed the station back to TVB, and he was not in a hurry. In his opinion, it takes a long time to make a TV show, and Jiayi TV spent a lot of money to send reporters to Yanjing, although it can achieve good ratings for a while, but it can only be beautiful for a few days. Shao Yifu completely ignored the increase in the reputation of Jiayi TV from this report.
