Facing the expectant gaze of Hong Kong Governor Clementi, Zheng Yi picked up his coffee, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then said eloquently: "Okay, then I'll say it directly......"

"It has to be said that Hong Kong is a very good deep-water trading port with infinitely bright prospects in the commercial sector, but extremely limited potential in the industrial sector."

"Due to geographical constraints and a severe shortage of fresh water, Hong Kong is unable to develop heavy industry and large-scale manufacturing, as evidenced by the decline of Swire Shipyards!"

"Therefore, I personally believe that Hong Kong's future industrial development direction should focus on promoting light industry, such as clocks and watches, precision instruments, hardware tools, textiles and garments, seafood processing, etc., which are very suitable for Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong not only has a large number of cheap labor, but also has the huge advantage of facing two huge consumer markets in Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia, which is unmatched by India and Malaya."

"As long as His Excellency the Governor gives correct guidance in terms of policy, and vigorously supports the establishment of new processing enterprises by wealthy British and local businessmen in the early stage of development, we will be able to quickly change the deformed development model of Hong Kong walking on one leg, change the appearance of poverty and backwardness in Hong Kong to the greatest extent, and then obtain more tax revenues, greatly promote culture, education, and social order, and strengthen the foundation of the government's rule."

Jin Wentai thought deeply and nodded frequently, admiring Zheng Yi's humble character and outstanding talent, Zheng Lanting also showed a satisfied smile, feeling extremely proud in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Clementi said with a smile: "I heard from your father that he has successfully persuaded the board members that the Taikoo Shipyard will make a major adjustment, no longer build new ships, and only keep two 5,000-ton docks and two thousand-ton docks for ship repairs, and other docks will be converted into oil-fired power plants one after another, using the most advanced steam turbine power generation technology to supply electricity to the Hong Kong area." ”

"The shipyard's original workshop for the processing of ship parts will be gradually converted, and three of the instrument and instrument maintenance workshops will be merged into the precision machinery manufacturing company...... Do you have a contribution to the above series of major changes? ”

Zheng Yi was stunned for a while, not knowing where Clementi learned about such a secret thing.

Zheng Lanting laughed and bluntly said that he did make the decision under the persuasion of his son, and very solemnly told Clementi the biggest reason for doing so:

"The Board agrees with me because people have lost confidence in the development of Swire Shipyard...... In order to clear up the investment losses of more than 10 years, HSBC asked to transfer 30% of the shares held by HSBC to me, so I had to take over 30% of the shares held by HSBC at the highest stock price after the split, and became the largest shareholder of Swire Shipyard with 67.5% of the shares, but I also carried a heavy burden. ”

Clementi, apparently unaware of the stake deal that had taken place at Swire Shipyard, nodded sympathetically after being surprised:

"Two months ago, you split the operating assets of Swire Pacific, which attracted a lot of attention from the local business community, and London also paid attention to it, and bankers praised it, believing that after the division of Swire Pacific's assets, it will be able to abandon its heavy burden and achieve greater development in the commercial sector."

"But I also know that this is at the cost of giving up the industrial development of Swire Corporation, and you, the next loss that should not be borne by you, so I have been considering whether to give your Swire Shipyard and Precision Machinery Manufacturing Company greater preferential policies."

Zheng Lanting was grateful: "Thank you, Smith!" I think I can still bear it, especially the mass production of two kinds of light weapons, which can gradually make up for my losses, after the shipyard reform, a large number of managers and senior technical personnel will return to the headquarters of Swire Pacific in the United Kingdom, or transfer to Swire Shipyard in India, and the high salary expenses I bear will also be greatly reduced, and I am confident that Swire Shipyard will turn the decline around and achieve profitability after only half a year's efforts. ”

"My friend, are you ready for Paul to help you manage the Swire Shipyard?"

Clementi asked with a smile, he didn't really believe that the mess that Zheng Lanting took over would turn a profit after half a year, but he admired Zheng Lanting's noble character very much, and secretly made the decision to fully support the conversion of Taikoo Shipyard.

Zheng Lanting explained helplessly: "Dear Smith, I do want to do this, and I plan to convene a board of directors as soon as possible, officially change the name of Swire Shipyard to 'Oriental Shipbuilding Factory', establish a new 'Far East Precision Machinery Manufacturing Group Company', and then merge the Precision Machinery Manufacturing Company, the instrument manufacturing company that is being renovated and the Hardware Machinery Manufacturing Company into the new group company, but ...... My son Paul was reluctant to accept the appointment of General Manager of Swire Shipyard and wanted to do what he was interested in. ”

Clementi was very surprised: "Oh, dear Paul, I admire your talent very much, and I hope that you can set an example for Hong Kong's industrial development, but you rejected your father's appointment and easily gave up the opportunity for you to display your talent, can you tell me why?" ”

Zheng Yi did not hesitate and truthfully stated his reasons, which won Clementi's understanding.

……

……

It was half past ten in the evening when Zheng Yi returned home, and the diligent Liu Yu was still studying the English version of journalism by himself in the study, when he heard a familiar voice from downstairs, he hurriedly went downstairs, took off his coat and hung up his top hat for Zheng Yi like a skilled wife, and snuggled up the stairs together in Zheng Yi's arms.

After entering the small living room on the second floor, Liu Yu still hugged Zheng Yi's waist tightly, and her beautiful face was tightly pressed against Zheng Yi's chest: "Brother Yi, I'm ...... I was pregnant. ”

Zheng Yi's body stiffened instantly, and it took a while to hold Liu Yu's coquettish face in surprise, and his voice trembled slightly: "Really? ”

"Hmm...... At noon, when I was having lunch at the company, I couldn't help but vomit, and the fourth aunt happened to go into the bathroom, and she saw it, and she asked me a few words and pulled me to the church hospital for a physical examination, and the results confirmed that I was pregnant, and when I went home, the fourth aunt did not allow me to drive, and asked me to work from home in the future and take care of the baby. ”

Liu Yu snuggled shyly in Zheng Yi's arms.

Zheng Yi was overjoyed, picked up Liu Yu, strode into the bedroom, and put her on the big bed lovingly: "I blame me, I was too careless, I didn't care about you well, aren't you angry with me?" ”

Liu Yu's face was full of happy smiles, and he hugged Zheng Yi's neck and shook his head again and again: "It's too late for me to love you, how can I complain about you, Brother Yi, I'm so happy, I'm going to be a mother." ”

Zheng Yi felt guilty and kissed his beloved woman affectionately, until Liu Yu was panting and flushed and said that the doctor had ordered him to refrain from it, and Zheng Yi slowly lay down:

"Tomorrow I will go and ask my father for help to see how to talk to your old man about this, and then send a telegram to my eldest sister, asking her and my brother-in-law to find a way to persuade your old man to come to Hong Kong as soon as possible to attend our wedding."

Liu Yu was moved, and hugged Zheng Yi's neck tightly and offered a fragrant kiss.

Zheng Yi, who was in high spirits, was afraid that he would not be able to control it, so he kissed Liu Yu fiercely, and then ran to take a bath, and his embarrassed appearance made Liu Yu laugh.
