Chapter 297: Persuasion
Chen Lang snatched the door out of the house, stopped a taxi and went straight to Repulse Bay Villa.
Sitting in the co-pilot of the taxi, Chen Lang's heart was like a mess.
My mind is full of the scene when I was with Tang Xiaomei since I was reborn.
Thinking about the first kiss between the two on campus for the first time, thinking about Pepe's distressed eyes after waking him up with a slap, thinking about Pepe's red eyes because of the enthusiasm of his female fans, thinking about walking in the park with Pepe on his back and singing "The Most Romantic Thing" to her......
Chen Lang fell into deep thought for a while, and looked ahead with a somewhat dull gaze.
After all, Chen Lang's exposure rate in recent months has been too high, and it is difficult to know him, but after seeing that Chen Lang seems to be looking wrong, he stopped talking to Chen Lang.
Soon the taxi arrived in front of the Repulse Bay villa, and under the driver's reminder, Chen Lang came back to his senses and immediately got out of the car and ran towards the villa.
When he arrived at the villa, Chen Lang was stopped by the security guard in front of the door, "I'm sorry, it's not from this community, you can't go in." ”
Chen Lang looked at the security guard in front of him and said anxiously, "I'm sorry, I'm Chen Lang, I have some urgent business with Peipei, I have to see her now, can you please let me in?" ”
When the security guard heard this, he looked at it carefully, and found that it was really Chen Lang, and he was a little excited for a while, and when he returned to the security room, he took out an autographed book, "Lang Lang, I am your fan, I like your novels and records very much, I hope you can sign me." ”
When Chen Lang heard this, he had no choice but to suppress the anxiety in his heart, signed his name on it, and then said hurriedly, "Can I go in, I really have something urgent." ”
The security guard hesitated for a while when he heard this, because the villa area was full of Hong Kong's wealthy and wealthy upper-class people, so the management was very strict.
Unless it is the owner of the villa area or the owner brings it into the community, no one is allowed to enter the community, but seeing the anxiety on his idol's face, he said ruthlessly, "Lang Lang, you go in." ”
When Chen Lang heard this, he said thank you and ran directly towards the Tang family.
At this time, another security guard came out of the security room and said urgently, "Ah Hua, you are crazy, if you let others in like this, you will lose your job." ”
"It doesn't matter if you can help your idol once."
"You, really, alas......"
Fortunately, Chen Lang heard Tang Xiaomei say the number and approximate location of the villa area before, and finally found Tang's house after looking for a while, Chen Lang rushed directly to the door and pressed the doorbell.
Soon someone came to open the door, and Chen Lang saw that it was Tang's mother standing in front of him.
Mother Tang was also stunned after seeing Chen Lang, then frowned and sighed slightly, "Come in." ”
After Chen Lang entered the door, he asked anxiously, "Auntie, is Pepe at home?" ”
"Here, I'm packing upstairs." Tang Mu said softly.
"Packing up? Auntie, are you ready to leave Hong Kong? Chen Lang's heart sank when he heard this.
"Yes, Sino-British negotiations will be held soon, and if the talks are not good at that time, I am afraid that the mainland will directly occupy Hong Kong, and people like us will probably suffer at that time." Seeing Chen Lang's anxious look, Tang Mu shook her head and said.
"How do you know that the mainland will directly occupy Hong Kong, who said stupid things." Chen Lang was furious when he heard this, and blurted out directly.
After speaking, he realized his gaffe, and quickly said, "I'm sorry aunt, I didn't mean to, I just ...... Just ......"
Tang's mother didn't mean to blame, looking at Chen Lang, who had a somewhat hideous face, she just shook her head helplessly, and at this time, there was a sound of going downstairs from the stairs, and Tang's father and Tang Xiaomei walked down.
Seeing Chen Lang's figure, Tang Xiaomei immediately rushed down and threw herself directly into Chen Lang's arms, Chen Lang also hugged Tang Xiaomei tightly, just wanting to never let go.
Tang's father frowned and looked at the two hugging people, glanced at Tang's mother, and then walked to the sofa and sat down.
Chen Lang sniffed the fragrance of Tang Xiaomei deeply, and then saw Tang's father sitting on the sofa, knowing that he was the key to his own persuasion, only when Tang's father nodded and stayed, could Tang Xiaomei stay by his side forever.
Chen Lang patted Tang Xiaomei's shoulder, and motioned for her to sit on the sofa opposite Chen's father with him, Chen Lang's mind was racing rapidly, thinking about how to persuade Tang's father.
I thought that the Tang family might leave Hong Kong and ran over directly, but I didn't think about it, but now it seems that the Tang family is really leaving, and I must have enough reasons to do it.
Seeing Chen Lang frowning opposite, Father Tang felt a little sorry, he admired Chen Lang very much.
Appearance and talent are all the best choices, and according to their own investigation, Taiwan's Haishan Rolling Stone Records belongs to Chen Lang, plus Hong Kong's Lang Lang Qiankun store, can achieve such an achievement at the age of seventeen, so that Tang's father has to praise, this is indeed a genius.
With Chen Lang's ability, the future can be described as limitless, and maybe it can also help the development of the Tang family's career in Hong Kong, of course, there is also a point that Chen Lang and Pepe like each other, which is also an important reason why Tang's father is so satisfied with Chen Lang.
It not only meets the needs of his family, but also can fulfill his daughter, which can be described as the best of both worlds, but it is a pity that he encountered the return of Hong Kong.
"Uncle, are you ready to go back to the United States?" Chen Lang asked after thinking for a while.
Father Tang didn't speak, just nodded.
"Are you worried that the mainland will take Hong Kong by force, and then implement socialism and confiscate all the property of the upper class?"
Father Tang still just nodded.
"But I think you're completely overthinking, uncle. Hong Kong is supposed to be returned to China in '97, and the process may be a bit difficult, but China will definitely take back Hong Kong's sovereignty.
But I don't think the mainland will take back Hong Kong by force, and at the same time, it will not immediately implement socialism and confiscate the assets of Hong Kong's rich. Chen Lang looked at Father Tang and said seriously.
"Why?" Father Tang finally spoke.
"Now the mainland is moving to revive its economy, and one of the initiatives is to create special economic zones that follow the example of the Taiwanese. Shenzhen, which borders the New Territories, is the most important special economic zone and has developed into a powerhouse for Guangdong Province.
Merchandise exports totaled $500 million per year. China intends to make these SEZs centers of attraction for foreign investment, as they were in the past treaty ports, in order to create foreign exchange and to stimulate the mainland's economic development.
It can be seen that Chinese mainland urgently needs a window to the outside world, although Shenzhen has developed well, but as a more developed economy and a natural harbor of freedom, Hong Kong has advantages dozens of times or hundreds of times higher than Shenzhen, so Hong Kong after the return to China will surely become the most important window for China's foreign exchanges.
In this case, it is impossible for the mainland to occupy Hong Kong by armed force, because this will bring a lot of uncertainties, and at the same time it will also cause panic among everyone, and now there are many rich businessmen and immigrants who have left Hong Kong, and if there is a conflict, I am afraid that more people will leave, and if there is only a ruin left, then who will serve as a transit point for the mainland to communicate with the Western world?
The answer is no.
Hong Kong is very important to the mainland, and a stable and prosperous Hong Kong is more in line with the mainland's external requirements. Therefore, even if Hong Kong returns to China, the mainland will not let Hong Kong become chaotic, and wealthy businessmen like the Tang family should be the target of the mainland's struggle, not the object of elimination. ”
Chen Lang relied on his knowledge of the history of his previous life and combined the ideas propagated in the newspapers and periodicals close to the mainland in the present world to come to the conclusion that the mainland needed a stable Hong Kong as much as possible.
After listening to Chen Lang's words, Father Tang asked, "Are you pro-mainland?" ”
Chen Lang felt helpless when he heard this, there have always been pro-mainland and pro-Taiwan left-right elements in Hong Kong, but because of what the pro-mainland people did in the 70s, Hong Kong people still have a bad impression of the mainland, and Chen Lang also knows that there is a survey of Hong Kong citizens, whether they are willing to return to China?
As a result, 86 percent of the people wanted to keep the status quo ante, another 4 percent said they didn't care, and the remaining 10 percent were mostly young college students, who strongly demanded that Hong Kong return to China and realize the sovereign reunification of the motherland.
"I'm not close to anyone, I don't care about that, I just want Pepe to stay." Chen Lang said loudly.
"There is some truth to what you say, but can you guarantee that the mainland will not take extreme measures when the negotiations cannot proceed? Is it possible not to practice socialism after taking control of Hong Kong?
Don't tell me that maybe, this may make all our family's property confiscated, I don't care about these yet, I care more about my family, if I am hurt at that time, what will I do, who can be responsible, you? Father Tang shook his head and asked loudly at Chen Lang.
"I ......" Chen Lang couldn't refute for a while, could it be that he came from the future and knew the situation in the next few decades?
I can't come up with convincing evidence at all, and now the mainland is still very backward and poor in everyone's minds, and many people who fled from the mainland or came to dig for gold are looked down upon by Hong Kong people, and the experience of Grandpa Chen Lang is the best proof.
Poverty and backwardness are often accompanied by barbarism, so many Hong Kong people believe that after the breakdown of the negotiations, the mainland is likely to recover Hong Kong by force, and then they will not only lose their property, but may even lose their lives, so Hong Kong people will be so frightened.
This is the result of a lack of communication between the two sides, pro-Taiwan elements, and some Western anti-China forces that have been smearing the mainland, resulting in the vast majority of Hong Kong people looking down on the mainland but also full of panic about the mainland.
"Lang Lang, I know you like Pepe and want us to stay, but the problem now is that if we stay, we may not only not be able to guarantee our property, but may not even be able to save our lives, if it were me, how would you choose? Risking the possible persecution of a family to stay and wait for the elusive political negotiations? Father Tang looked at Chen Lang and asked in a low tone.
