Chapter 158: The Iron Lady is coming
When Xu Xuecheng returned to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, it was already after ten o'clock in the evening, and Taikoo Shing was not far from the city center, accompanied by Shi Dagang, Xie Yunyi was not worried about anything.
After playing with the two girls for a day, Xu Xuecheng was also a little tired, leaned on the bed and watched TV for a while, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xu Xuecheng was woken up by a phone call from Zhou Tiantian.
"Hey, Dong Xu, have you read today's newspaper? Big deal, the Iron Lady is coming to China to discuss the solution of the Sino-British Hong Kong issue. ”
Xu Xuecheng was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
According to the date, it is still mid-September, and there is still ten years before Xu Xuecheng's memory of the later Saw's visit to China.
However, Hong Kong is still under real British administration, and its ties with the British side are much stronger than those of the mainland, which is close at hand.
As a matter of fact, there are differences within Britain on the issue of the Hong Kong talks, and career diplomats such as Foreign Secretary Jeffrey Howe and Ambassador to China Collida have taken a realist stance and advocated cooperation with the mainland and striving for interests in cooperation.
At first, the Satans were also inclined to negotiate like this, but the Falklands War not long ago seemed to have brought the empire back to the glorious era of great powers, and the Iron Lady Prime Minister's mind was alive.
What if the mainland did not agree to British rule, she envisioned? Can the problem be solved on the basis of law or even military force? For example, Hong Kong will be autonomous or independent through democratization, or the United States and the United Nations will be brought into international control of Hong Kong, and the military will be considered to defend Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
In fact, no matter in any way, history or reality, these fantasies of Thatcher will eventually come to naught.
If Britain wants to continue to govern, it must persuade the general government to make a treaty, and the mainland does not need to do so to reclaim Hong Kong. The UK agrees that it can participate in decision-making; If it did not agree, the mainland unilaterally announced its policy toward Hong Kong, excluding the British side.
"Oh, didn't the people of Hong Kong expect such a day a long time ago, what is the fuss?" Xu Xuecheng said lightly.
He remembered that when the Hong Kong government was investigating the people's choice of the return to the motherland, more than 70 percent of the people chose to maintain the status quo, that is, to continue to be controlled by the British, and less than 20 percent wanted to return to the motherland.
Although from the standpoint of the Hong Kong people at present, the mainland is undoubtedly closed and backward, but the son does not dislike the mother as ugly, and the dog does not dislike the family as poor, not to mention the fact that the Hong Kong people basically emigrated from the other side of the strait in the 50s and 60s.
"That being said, this day came so suddenly, and I think it's already a mess outside."
Zhou Tiantian is also from Hong Kong, but unlike other Hong Kong people, he has stayed in Shenzhen for so long, she sees the development potential of the mainland, and also sees the determination of Secretary Liang, and feels their support, he is full of confidence in the mainland.
However, he is still worried that these ordinary people will not be affected, which will affect the development of Jiamei Electric Appliance Company and even Siyang Financial in Hong Kong.
After all, there is not a lot of investment in the mainland now, and Xu Xuecheng also told him that the company will gradually increase investment in the next few years to strengthen its influence in Hong Kong.
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be chaotic, seek wealth in troubled times, you maintain the status quo of the company, and I will inform you how to do the rest." After speaking, Xu Xuecheng hung up the phone.
When he went out, Shi Dagang was already waiting at the door, and when he walked to the hotel front desk, Xu Xuecheng was stopped, "Xu Sheng, stay here." ”
"What's wrong?" Xu Xuecheng stopped suspiciously.
"That's right, a gentleman named Qiu Huairen came to the store in the morning and asked me to hand over this dress to you." The waiter at the front desk said.
Xu Xuecheng took it, it was the suit that was soiled by Qiu Shuzhen in Ocean Park yesterday, it had been washed and ironed neatly, and it seemed that Qiu Shuzhen's father sent his clothes to the dry cleaner as soon as he returned.
"Okay, thank you," Xu Xuecheng took a tip of 50 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to the waiter.
When he arrived at the company, Xu Xuecheng heard several employees of the company talking about Mrs. Sa's visit to China, and even the employees of his own company were so enthusiastic, which shows what kind of anxiety Hong Kong people are in now.
It's a pity that only Xu Xuecheng knows that no matter how twists and turns, Hong Kong will definitely return to the embrace of the motherland, and the mainland will soon catch up with Hong Kong's progress.
"Xu Sheng, you're here"
"Xu Shenghao~"
"Good morning Xu Sheng~"
The people in the office are all there, and they seem to have been busy for quite some time.
In addition to inviting Yuan Tianfan and Huo Jianning this time, Xu Xuecheng also temporarily hired a local professional stock trading team, if you want to make a fortune in the stock market, it will not work with a prophet alone, this kind of work of playing with heartbeat and talking about technology has to be handed over to a professional appointment to do, Xu Xuecheng only needs to grasp the overall situation.
Of course, these people also signed confidentiality contracts, and in the days before the expiration of the contract, they had to eat and live in the company, and the bodyguards of several veterans brought by Xu Xuecheng from the mainland were on duty in the company in shifts 24 hours a day, and even food, drink, and Lazar were handled properly for them.
"Hello everyone, fortunately, when you are busy, I ask you to relax." Xu Xuecheng nodded.
He is not a stingy person, although he has been given enough wages, but a big red envelope per person is indispensable at that time.
After saying hello to these traders, Xu Xuecheng walked into an office inside, where Huo Jianning and Yuan Tianfan were having breakfast.
"Xu Sheng is here, do you want to eat some together?" Huo Jianning asked with a cup of soy milk.
Xu Xuecheng waved his hand, "No need, I drank morning tea." ”
People in Hong Kong and Guangdong call breakfast morning tea, in fact, this tea not only refers to tea, but also refers to refreshments, barbecued pork buns, custard buns, crab roe buns, raw meat buns, veal bones, steamed phoenix feet, crystal dumplings, shrimp dumplings, radish cakes, horseshoe cakes, Xu Xuecheng let people prepare rich refreshments for them.
This also makes the two very satisfied, although it doesn't cost much, but it is not a kind of mind after all, and it is also a kind of enjoyment for the two of them to be able to devote themselves to work after eating and drinking.
"Xu Sheng, you are really prescient, it's not that no one thought that there would be turmoil between China and Britain after this Falklands War, but you are the only one who dared to start so early in the layout, as far as I know."
Huo Jianning is not a sycophant, but a sincere praise, although I don't know how much income can be this time, but just this vision, Huo Jianning thinks that he is inferior.
How does he know that Xu Xuecheng does things with his vision, he completely relies on the memory in his head, and such an important event as Margaret Thatcher's visit to China, even if it is another 100 years, he can remember it clearly.
Yuan Tianfan nodded in agreement, compared to the praise he had given to himself before, he felt that Xu Xuecheng was more suitable, as he became more and more in-depth during this time, although he did not show it, but for Xu Xuecheng, he also sincerely admired, and even for helping him do things, he was not so resistant as before.
was praised like this by the two idols of his later generations, and Xu Xuecheng's two lives were added up, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot, "Where is it, it's just luck, and the next thing depends on everyone's joint efforts." ”
"This is natural, we have received Xu Sheng's money, and we will definitely do our best to do this well." Now the two emperors are not as proud as the later generations, Xu Xuecheng gave them a commission of 3 million Hong Kong dollars this time, which is enough for them to buy a few villas and live a life far beyond before.
After staying in the company for a morning, Xu Xuecheng also followed them to see the operation, although later generations also played some simulated stock trading games, but those are all information-based stock trading methods decades later, and it is naturally useless to use it now.
