Wei Xiong's small abacus made Deng Lao feel good, and Wei Xiong's heartfelt heart also made him basically conclude that Wei Xiong was set on the mainland.
That alone is better than anything else.
Next, the atmosphere of the chat was much more harmonious and warm than before, and soon an hour passed, and the meeting was almost over as planned.
Before taking his leave,
Wei Xiong asked seemingly casually, "Deng Lao's complexion doesn't seem to be very good today?"
"Hehe, I've had a little cold in the past two days, and I'm getting older, so it's inevitable that there will be a little problem, but it's okay. Deng Lao said with a smile.
Wei Xiong's father is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner,
It can be seen that his complexion is not good, but Deng Lao is not surprised.
"If Deng Lao can trust me, can you reach out to me and let me see. Wei Xiong hesitated for a moment, then said to Deng Lao with a smile.
"Reach out? ”
Deng Lao was only slightly stunned, and then stretched out his left hand happily.
This is his territory,
Are you still afraid that Wei Xiong will be unfavorable to him? Of course, as the de facto supreme leader of the country, his health is a state secret.
Just like the President of the United States.
No matter which country you visit, even your stool must be packed and taken with you.
But Deng Lao is different, he is a revolutionary soldier, so he naturally has an informal side, and he has also taken a back seat, so he doesn't care too much.
Just when he thought Wei Xiong was going to take his pulse,
A warm breath entered his body from the place where the two of them touched, and he was immediately startled, almost reflexively wanting to withdraw his hand.
"Calm down. ”
Wei Xiong's words calmed down Deng Lao.
He had never experienced any storms and waves in his life, how could he be afraid of a Wei Xiong? Although he still had doubts in his heart, he still closed his eyes as he said.
Then try to calm your mind.
He could clearly feel a warm current flowing through his body.
The whole person is warm and comfortable.
I don't know how long later, just when he was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep, the warm current suddenly disappeared, his hand was lowered, and he woke up immediately.
Looking at Wei Xiong with a smile on his face,
Deng Lao was a little surprised, at this time he only felt that the whole person was unprecedented, and the previous fatigue due to cold and long hours of work had already been swept away.
"Do you know qigong?"
The first thing he thought of was qigong, because the state also has several Chinese medicine masters who enjoy the allowance of the State Council who know qigong and have massaged him.
Every time I massage, the area that has been massaged will heat up,
After that, the whole person will be very comfortable.
But the situation just now seemed to be very different from Qigong, and the magical feeling of warm currents flowing through his body was something he had never experienced before.
But apart from qigong, he really couldn't think of anything else.
"Sort of. ”
"I combed Deng Lao's body just now, and checked it by the way, in general, Deng Lao's body is still good, but there are some minor problems. ”
"In addition, when Deng Lao waits, he can find a place to take a bath first. ”
Deng Lao was stunned,
Only then did I realize that my hands were sticky, and when I raised my hand, I found that there was a layer of oily substance on my hands, which also had a faint brown color.
Hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and the same was true on his arms.
It still seems to smell a little.
"This is the body impurities that are discharged from the pores, just wash it off, and two days after tomorrow, I will comb the body of Deng Lao again. ”
"The effect will be realized by Deng Lao in the future. ”
"It's amazing. ”
Deng Lao looked at Wei Xiong in shock, no need to do it, he had already realized it, and at the same time, a joy rose from the bottom of his heart.
He came from the era of bullets,
To be honest, he is not afraid of death.
But not being afraid of death doesn't mean that he doesn't want to live a few more years, although he is still physically tough, but after all, he is 84 years old, and everything is hard to say.
Maybe you just go to bed tonight, or maybe you can go to bed tonight.
And just like that,
He only felt that his whole person was rejuvenated, his mind was clear, his eyes were clear, and even his rotten body was fluttering.
……
After Wei Xiong left, Deng Lao didn't care about official business, and hurriedly went home to take a shower.
When he came out of the room after changing his clothes,
Zhuo Lin, who was reading a book in the living room, frowned a little, then got up and looked at Deng Lao carefully: "How do you feel that you are a little different today." ”
"What's the difference?" said Deng Lao smiled slightly.
"I can't say it, anyway, my spirit is much better, I look like I am a few years younger, is it that Zhou Lao gave you a massage again?"
The full name of Zhou Lao in Zhuo Lin's mouth is Zhou Dequan.
He is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, also proficient in qigong, and is a health consultant for several senior leaders of the central government, including Deng Lao.
Sometimes these old leaders are massaged with qigong.
Today he is 91 years old.
Such a character is definitely worthy of the word 'national treasure'. Therefore, even people like Deng Lao are courteous to him.
"Hehe, Zhou Lao is amazing, but he doesn't have such skills. ”
"What's going on?"
"Hehe, the ancients often said that real people don't show their faces, I can see it today, you continue to read your book, I'll go back to the office to work. ”
Looking at the energetic Deng Lao, Zhuo Lin was a little inexplicable.
……
Negotiations between the two sides have generally gone well, with four agreements reached: First, Standard Chartered Bank will provide a $10 billion loan to the Chinese government.
The interest rate is 2.0% per annum, which is lower than the interest rate offered to the UK.
The funds will be mainly used for infrastructure construction, subsidies for key economic projects and financial support for coastal special economic zones.
Second, Standard Chartered Bank will set up a branch in Shanghai.
According to the agreement between the two parties.
First of all, Standard Chartered Bank Shanghai Branch can only conduct general banking business, i.e. deposits and loans, and other things, such as issuing bonds and selling insurance, are prohibited.
secondly, it is not allowed to set up a branch in any place other than Shanghai and its business scope is limited to Shanghai.
Such a clause would be unthinkable in any Western country.
But this is the hinterland.
At present, the financial market in the mainland is almost blank, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange will not recover until 1990.
It is already very good for the mainland government to allow Standard Chartered to set up a presence in Shanghai.
One last point.
Within three years, Standard Chartered Bank's Shanghai branch will open currency exchange, which is unintentionally very important for the Shanghai branch.
Because with the continuous reform and opening up of the mainland and the entry of foreign capital.
The exchange volume of RMB to foreign currencies will be larger and larger, and the profits contained in it will naturally be larger, so Standard Chartered President Robert will strive for it.
In the end, the mainland government made concessions.
The cost is as low as 2.0% of the loans to the mainland government.
If this money is really a loan from Standard Chartered Bank to the mainland government, then Standard Chartered Bank will have to lose money, but fortunately this is not the case.
Whether it was the previous 20 billion loan to the British government.
The 10 billion loan was repaid this time.
All of them were loaned out by Wei Xiong through Standard Chartered Bank.
In addition, the memorandum of the contract also states that in the next 5 to 15 years, the mainland will open up more business projects to Standard Chartered Bank depending on the situation.
Third, the acquisition of Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard.
Before Wei Xiong left for Beijing, the mainland government was somewhat hesitant about Wei Xiong's proposed acquisition of the Whampoa shipyard.
Although the benefits of the Whampoa shipyard are not good now.
It is basically in the red.
But as one of China's oldest shipyards, the significance is naturally different, and the Whampoa shipyard has also participated in the construction of warships.
Belongs to defense enterprises.
How can it be sold so easily.
Later, perhaps in an attempt to create a harmonious atmosphere for Wei Xiong's visit to Beijing, the mainland government did not completely refuse, but said that it could talk.
But at the beginning of the negotiations,
Reading between the lines, it can be seen that the mainland does not mean to sell the Whampoa shipyard.
Just when the negotiations were about to fail,
Deng Lao spoke directly, so that the negotiation was successful.
But on the condition that in the next five years, Webster must invest at least 500 million yuan in the shipyard. Of course, Wei Xiong has no problem with this.
However, since the Whampoa Shipyard is a state-owned enterprise.
There is also an issue involved in the acquisition of Merriam, which is the placement of retired employees.
At present, there are more than 3,000 retired employees in Huangpu Shipyard, and it is obvious that Wei Xiong will definitely not carry such a big burden.
The final result of the negotiation was
Wei's contributed 30 million yuan as a resettlement fee.
Others are the sole responsibility of the Government.
Fourth, the Wei-Lin Charity Foundation established the 'Project Hope'.
Originally, according to the foundation's intentions, in the implementation of the 'Hope Project', the local government only provided cooperation and did not interfere in finances.
This means that the Foundation will actually operate the project.
This ensures that every penny is being spent.
Later, after consultation,
It was decided that the Ministry of Civil Affairs would set up an 'Project Hope' office, and all projects to be implemented would be carried out by the office in consultation with the Foundation.
This result effectively deprives the Foundation of its actual right to operate.
There is also room for the embezzlement of funds in the place.
In response to this, the Foundation has made a request to have the right to supervise finances and to stop the project at any time in the event of embezzlement.
Maybe it's to build momentum.
The contract is signed in public.
Reporters from China Central Television, Phoenix Satellite TV, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and other units witnessed the signing of the four agreements.
It is worth mentioning that
In the "News Network-Broadcast" that night, Wei Xiong's origin and the process of his career were also introduced, which took nearly 4 minutes.
Such treatment has always been reserved only for the country's top leaders and those who have been set as role models.
Now to a Hong Kong man,
It's rare.
This shows that the central government attaches great importance to Wei Xiong.
……
"The news in the mainland looks so serious, it speaks like a robot, and there are no emotional ups and downs at all. "Watching the news on TV,
Ouyang Yaqing couldn't help but scold.
"A place has a situation in a place, and it is so serious and more authoritative. "Ouyang Yalan's thinking will be more rational.
"Ding-dong. ”
"You go back to the room first, it should be Zhao Jun here. ”
Wei Xiong believes that Zhao Jun should know his situation very well, but if he understands it, he can't be unscrupulous, not to mention that this is not Hong Kong.
If Zhao Jun saw Sister Ouyang Yalan in his room in sexy pajamas, it would be bad.
After Sister Ouyang Yalan entered the bedroom,
Wei Xiong personally got up and went over to open the door, and it was indeed Zhao Jun, director of the Hong Kong-Macao Office, standing outside, holding two wooden boxes in his hands.
"I took the liberty to visit, and I didn't disturb Mr. Wei's rest. ”
"No, no, Director Zhao, please come in. ”
Letting Zhao Jun into the room, Wei Xiong closed the door again.
"You may be seated. ”
"You please, too. ”
The two of them were polite, and each sat down on the sofa, only to see Zhao Jun put the two rectangular wooden boxes in his hand on the table and gestured with a smile.
"Mr. Wei take a look. ”
When he opened the door just now, Wei Xiong guessed what the two wooden boxes contained.
At this time, he received Zhao Jun's signal and immediately picked up the wooden box on it.
After taking a closer look,
He found a pull ring on one side, and he pulled it gently, and a drawer was pulled out by him, and inside was a ginseng plant with very lush roots.
Then he picked up another wooden box that was slightly square.
Open it and take a look.
Inside is a lilac reishi mushroom, which looks very large, nearly 30 centimeters wide at the widest part of the crown, and exudes a faint medicinal fragrance.
At this time, Zhao Jun opened his mouth and said:
"There are a lot of Chinese herbal medicines for decades, but they are really rare for a hundred years, and in the end only these two strains were found, and they are both from Tang Rentong. ”
"This Changbai Mountain old ginseng is more than 200 years old. ”
"Ganoderma lucidum is longer, according to an old Chinese medicine master of Tong Ren Tang, it is nearly 800 years old, and it can be described as the treasure of Tong Ren Tang's town store. ”
"If it weren't for Deng Lao himself to speak this time, Tongrentang would still be reluctant to take it out. ”
"Oh, did Deng Lao speak?"
"Yes, I don't know how the matter of you looking for the old Chinese herbs got to Deng Lao, and then he asked the secretary to ask Tongrentang to ask. ”
"Thank you so much Elder Deng, I don't know how much these two cost. ”
"If you say that, you'll see the outside. ”
"Deng Lao has already said that this is a gift to you, thank you for your contribution to the country. ”
"This is the ...... that I said I would buy at the market price."
"I don't dare ask for your money anyway. ”
"Then I'll be ashamed to accept it, and take me to thank Deng Lao. With such two treasures in vain, Wei Xiong suddenly felt that it was too worthwhile to help Deng Lao regulate his body.
The reason why he exposed the identity of the qi practitioner before and helped Deng Lao regulate his body,
It's all in respect.
'One country, two systems' was proposed by Deng Lao, but in his memory, Deng Lao died with regret on the eve of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
In fact, this is not only the regret of Deng Lao, but also the regret of every Chinese.
Including him.
Therefore, he wanted to use his true qi to help Deng Lao regulate his body.
Not to mention that Deng Lao will live a long life, at least let Deng Lao live a few more years, and set foot on the land of Hong Kong in his lifetime, and no longer have regrets.
Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected joy.
Needless to say, wild ginseng that is more than 200 years old has nowhere to buy it if you have money.
And not to mention the purple Ganoderma lucidum, 800 years, even a tree will be protected by the original cultural relics, let alone Ganoderma lucidum.
It is more precious than the wild ginseng that is more than 200 years old.
After Wei Xiong put away the two wooden boxes and put them aside, Zhao Jun said: "Actually, when I came to visit tonight, in addition to sending things, I also wanted to ask Mr. Wei something. ”
"What's the matter, Director Zhao, please say. ”
"If the central government plans to transfer Xu Jiantun, the head of the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency, back and appoint another person to serve as the president, what does Mr. Wei think?"
"Will there be turmoil in Hong Kong?"
Zhao Jun asked very bluntly.
This is because the top level of the central government has already determined that Wei Xiong's political stance is biased towards the mainland.
And that's why he asked.
This is because when the central government's dispatch order reached Hong Kong, Xu Jiantun refused to return to Beijing on the grounds that his departure from Hong Kong would cause a shock in the Hong Kong stock market.
This reason is a bit ridiculous.
However, the central authorities still need to know some things.
"How can it cause turmoil, to be honest, President Xu is not a very important person for Hong Kong, and he ......"
Wei Xiong shrugged his shoulders slightly.
"And as far as I know, some of his actions have gone out of line, and I personally feel that the mainland government needs to take some more effective measures. ”
"Otherwise it's going to be bad. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Jun's brows immediately furrowed.
Although Wei Xiong didn't say it directly, the meaning was already very clear, but he still had some doubts, could it be that the matter had reached such a serious point?
"Thank you Mr. Wei for telling me the truth, and I will report the situation to the central government. ”
……
After Zhao Jun left,
Sister Ouyang Yalan immediately came out of the bedroom.
Take two Chinese herbs and look at them carefully.
"This is an 800-year-old reishi? I can't tell it? It doesn't seem to smell good. Ouyang Yaqing said disapprerovingly.
In her eyes, this 800-year-old purple reishi is no different from ordinary reishi.
truly
For ordinary people, what is a vintage Chinese herbal medicine and what is an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine, it is really difficult for them to distinguish, even if it is Wei Xiong,
I can only see an approximation.
Only an old Chinese medicine doctor like Wei Hongdao can accurately judge it.
"Be careful, don't break it, this purple lingzhi is the main medicine of several pills, and there is one pill that you will definitely like. ”
"What elixir?"
Ouyang Yaqing asked with curiosity on her face.
"Beauty Pill. ”
"What is the effect of the beauty pill?" As soon as she heard the name, Ouyang Yaqing knew that it was related to her appearance, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Slow down aging, tone the body, and gradually perfect all aspects of the body. ”
"Wow, that's amazing. ”
Sister Ouyang Yaqing was completely excited.
"Is it necessary for you to do this, double cultivation with me, it will have the same effect, haven't you noticed that your body is better than before?"
"That's right. ”
Ouyang Yalan thought for a moment and said with some interest.
"What's more, in this era, it is too rare to see such a long year of Lingzhi, and if you want to refine the pill, it should also be used in some more important pills. ”
"So don't think about it. ”
"Then tell us about it. ”
Ouyang Yaqing glanced at Wei Xiong with disgust.
"If it weren't for the beauty pill, it would have to be at least 500 years old Ganoderma lucidum as the main medicine, but some could be refined, after all, it would still be very useful for other people. ”
