……

The reason why the atmosphere in Xiangjiang is now a little delicate is because it is brewing the last adjustment of the political ~ political structure before the handover. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Hong Kong became a British colony more than 150 years ago, the British immediately established a ruling framework composed of the Executive Bureau, the Legislative Bureau, which is now the Legislative Council, and the Supreme ~ Court.

Their role can be roughly understood, as the name suggests, of which the position of the Executive Bureau is naturally the most important - and this is also reflected in the appointment of officials.

The Governor of Hong Kong, representing the Queen, automatically becomes the ex-officio President of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council, and the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary and the Secretary of Justice of the Executive Council are automatically ex-officio members of the Legislative Council.

After the enlargement of the Legislative Council, the Governor appointed Hong Kong government civil servants to the Legislative Council - for official members, and selected trusted people from the community to join the Legislative Council - for unofficial members.

All in all, except for the ex-officio Chairman of the Governor himself and the other three ex-officio Members, the rest of the Members of the Legislative Council are appointed by the Governor.

When the overall situation of the return of Hong Kong was decided, Britain began to change the rules of the game in the Legislative Council - from the appointment of all governors to some indirect elections.

At this time, the Legislative Council consisted of 11 official members, including 4 ex-officio members, and 46 non-official members.

Of these, 22 were appointed by the Governor, 12 by functional constituencies, 1 by all Council Members, 1 by all Regional Council Councillors, and 10 by the Electoral College comprising all District Council Councillors from each district.

In addition, these newly elected members of the Legislative Council have broken with the past practice and sworn allegiance to the people of Hong Kong in Cantonese.

As a result, the power of the Legislative Council has finally been greatly enhanced.

In the 1990s, the number of members of the Legislative Council increased again, reaching 60.

At the same time, partisanship began to surface.

If this trend is maintained, perhaps the current Legislative Council can directly transition to the post-handover.

But when Governor Pang Chung took office in 1992, he began to make a big fuss about changing from indirect elections to direct elections.

As a veteran politician who almost became the chancellor of the British exchequer, Peng ingots played the political ~ governance game of exploiting loopholes and mixing sand, which can be described as easy.

He set his sights on the last Legislative Council election before the handover of Hong Kong this year, and unilaterally decided: to lower the voting age from 21 to 18 in order to increase the number of voters and allow more young people to participate; to abolish all appointed seats in the Legislative Council; to increase the number of directly elected seats; in particular, in addition to the original functional constituencies, the fields of agriculture and fisheries, mining, energy and construction, textiles and garment, manufacturing, import and export, wholesale and retail, hotels and catering, transportation and communications, finance, insurance, The nine functional groups of real estate and business services, public, social and personal services, i.e. the new nine groups.

What makes Peng's trick a trick is that the New Nine Groups are different from the previous functional group election methods, that is, any incumbent who reported working in one of the industries in the 1991 Census will automatically become a voter in one of the New Nine Groups, thus bringing the number of voters to 1.06 million.

From the point of view of the British, Peng Ding's hand was quite beautiful, whether it was successful or not, it achieved the goal of dividing all strata of Xiangjiang society to the greatest extent - after the return of Xiangjiang in the original time and space, it was nothing more than a revolving around this frame.

The Legislative Council election, which Peng Dingfang carefully planned, was held in September, and the parties were fighting fiercely -- unexpectedly, at this juncture, the richest man in Tang was coming.

As for the variables that may be triggered by Tang Huan's arrival, "Pingguo Daily", which was launched on June 20 this year and stirred up the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry through the strategy of price reduction competition, vaguely described it with the movie "400 Years of Vampire Horror": "Count Dracula took a boat and came to London all the way. His arrival revived the dark forces of London. Vampire bats and werewolves wake up, and London is in a mysterious horror. ”

Are these people so secretive?

It turned out that they were worried that the richest man would invite more than 1,000 guests to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Xiangjiang - no one knew what the impact would be if so many celebrities sat together.

……

The richest man is very disdainful of this - even if I haven't been to Xiangjiang for a long time, who is in the way of me holding a banquet?

You must know that many people couldn't catch up with the banquet in the "Chang'an City" in the United States last month, so they took the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold another one in Xiangjiang regardless of one or the other.

In fact, this is also a disguise.

The real purpose of the richest man is to start the layout in advance in the international financial city of Xiangjiang - only by planning and then acting, can he drink tom yum gong, drink Java, eat kimchi, and then achieve other follow-up goals.

……

Compared with the devil in the political circles, the people in the business circles and the literary and artistic circles are much more pure-minded.

Many celebrities, including the Four Heavenly Kings, are actively preparing for the upcoming show - you know, not to mention Tang Tycoon's energy, just on such an occasion, it is enough to participate in it as capital. The banquet in Chang'an City, which is far away in the United States, can hardly grab the slot. A few lucky people like Cheng Long, when they come back, they show off, not to mention how much they break up.

……

"Brother, here's the guest list. Little cousin Meng Jing came over and said. Since her last return to the mainland, she has stayed and been arranged to start working with investment in the Asia-Pacific region.

Tang Huan browsed for a while, and asked with a little surprise, "Fei Peng is also here?"

"Invite celebrities in Hong Kong, how can it be possible to bypass him, the governor of Hong Kong, on the surface. Weng Jingjing explained with a smile, "I just followed the procedure and sent an invitation to confirm as usual, but I didn't expect him to agree to come this time." ”

Meng Jing mischievously took over the conversation and asked, "Brother, shouldn't you be worried, he accepted the invitation coldly, is he coming to play the field." ”

"Probably not. Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "After all, someone has already made peace in the middle before-it's always so tense, not only is it boring, but it also feels tired." ”

"That's not necessarily ......" Meng Jing rolled her eyes, "Xiangjiang is less than two years away from returning, maybe you know that you will inevitably become a grasshopper after the autumn, and you will be even happier!"

While they were talking and laughing, their subordinates came to report that Wu Guangzheng, chairman of the board of directors of Wheelock Group, had arrived.

Before leaving, Weng Jingjing said: "In a few months, the SAR Preparatory Committee will be set up, and the election of the chief executive will also be put on the agenda -- people like Li Fushan and Wu Guangzheng are rumored to be in contention." ”

Tang Huan raised his eyebrows, "They are really planning ahead!"

……

Weng Jingjing really reminded that after saying some light topics, Wu Guangzheng seemed to inadvertently turn to the chief executive election that is expected to be officially held next year, and joked with a smile, "As far as I know, everyone should not look very low-key on the surface, but they are eager to try it in their hearts." ”

The richest man said disapprovingly: "The position of chief executive, for Xiangjiang, is not an exaggeration, but it is glamorous, in fact, it is not so easy to do, right?"

Wu Guang Zheng Zhenzhen smiled eloquently: "The actual work content is not much different from that of the Hong Kong Governor." ”

Seeing that the other party was so eager, the richest man couldn't help but be speechless, but remembering the relationship between the two sides for more than ten years, he could only patiently analyze: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own politics -- when you sit in the position of the ruling party, you must face the problem of how to shape society, not to mention, as the first person, you must have the ambition to make a big difference." The Xiangjiang River is so big, but the ravines and ravines that are divided by the British are not small, and the result is inevitably that no matter what you do, it will touch the vested interest class, and it will be strongly counterattacked, and there will be a situation of 'discussing but not deciding, and never doing anything', which will make trouble inside and outside the people. ”

"How do you feel, don't you think I have the leadership to match? Wu Guangzheng smiled bitterly: "I also know that there are many contradictions in Xiangjiang society, such as the widening gap between the rich and the poor -- I remember that the financial program of Media Asia TV also said that the Gini coefficient, which represents the gap between the rich and the poor, is almost 0.5, but doesn't this just give a clear direction for work?"

The richest man didn't want to say more, and instead asked, "Then you are telling me this because you want me to support you?"

"Is it okay?" Wu Guangzheng asked tentatively.

The richest man put his hand on his forehead and said: "Believe it or not, there are at least two people who have the same idea as you." ”

Wu Guang Zheng Wenqin smiled knowingly and said, "If you don't help each other, it's also good!"

The richest man nodded and said clearly: "It's better for me to watch these things from the wall." ”

Wu Guangzheng laughed, "I'm already very happy that you can do this." ”

……

After this conversation, the richest man met with Li Fushan, Dong Jianhua and others separately one after another.

Not only did he shake his head repeatedly, but it was no wonder that the Legislative Council election was so startled that the drill camps were simply ubiquitous, waiting for an opportunity, and maybe it was the flap of butterfly wings here that caused a hurricane over there.

In fact, Mr. The richest man really thought carefully about who was more suitable in the end, but found it difficult to pick a satisfactory candidate.

In the final analysis, the temple is small and windy, and the pond is shallow and the king is eight, even if he goes up on it, he can only be restrained at most, and in the framework built by the British, it is just tinkering.

Fortunately, I don't really have to worry about it. This time, he came to Xiangjiang in essence to lay out the layout for the approaching financial crisis.

……

The banquet arrived.

Guests gathered.

In the midst of the crowd, there was a tall young lady who stood out as a standout.

Seeing that the man deliberately looked at each other, Weng Jingjing said playfully: "The master is really strategizing, Wendi Liu has entered the News Corporation, and as expected, he has become a star." ”

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "You're okay with her, right?"

"Of course, Liu Wendi is just looking for another job normally, and others rarely talk about the rebellion, and I will secretly help to increase the weight. Weng Jingjing nodded smugly, "Look, she didn't come to greet me." ”

……

"Sister Mary, this dress is really worthy of you. Liu Wendi, who is obviously a head taller, is extremely affectionate and humble in front of Weng Jingjing, who has a strong aura.

After Superman won the first satellite TV license in Xiangjiang and established Star Media, it did not affect the Phoenix Satellite TV for the entire Chinese-speaking region to settle in Xiangjiang.

It's just that grabbing a license and actual operation are not the same thing after all.

Employees can be poached with high salaries immediately-such as Liu Wendi and others, but high-quality program sources must be settled down and work patiently, and it is self-evident which side this time advantage is on.

In 1993, the irresistible little Superman took advantage of the media king Rupert Murdoch's ambitious desire to extend his tentacles to China, and sold 63.6% of the shares of Star Media to the other party, earning 500 million.

In July of this year, News Corp. bought a 34.6% stake in Star Media again, fully controlling the Chinese-language media.

As a "senior employee" of Star Media, Liu Wendi, who is good at management, has been promoted quickly and can be called a man of the hour.

After chatting with Weng Jingjing affectionately, Wendi Liu turned to the richest man and said, "Tang Sheng, without your scholarship, I would not have been able to get a bachelor's degree from the University of California and an MBA from Yale Business School, let alone today." ”

The richest man bowed slightly, "That's because you're good enough and hard enough." ”

Liu Wendi, who was clearly affirmed, was very excited, and asked tentatively: "After this banquet, does Tang Sheng have any other itinerary in Xiangjiang?"

The richest man replied lightly, "I think I can go around casually." ”

At this time, Jin Yong came, and the richest man got up and walked over.

Wendi Liu, who did not get a clear message. A hint of disappointment flashed on his face, and he turned his head and said to Weng Jingjing: "Presumably, Tang Sheng must have to accompany Sister Mary well in the past few days." ”

"A man's head is full of business. Weng Jingjing cut off, "Technology stocks in the United States are not very hot, he came this time just to see how the Xiangjiang stock market reacts." ”

……

Over there, Jin Yong quipped: "Tang Sheng, I heard that a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were airlifted from this banquet, it seems that this autumn, I can save a lot of money." ”

Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Cha Weng, you really have a good plan. ”

"I seem to smell crab. Jin Yong looked around and said, "The guests are almost here." ”

"The main thing is the Governor of Hong Kong. Tang Huan smiled slightly, "With his identity, he will definitely make his finale." ”

At this time, an officer from the Hong Kong Governor's Office was brought over.

I saw him smile and said, "Du Xian suddenly felt unwell and couldn't come." ”

When everyone heard the news, they immediately started to talk about it.

The richest man was displeased and said, "What, is there a mad cow disease?"
