On September 7, 1982, the "Henglong Bank" in Hong Kong first began to break out a run. As a result, the capital chain of a huge bank was suddenly broken, and the consequence was that it went bankrupt in an instant. Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi took advantage of this opportunity to jointly take over the bank at a very low price and renamed it "Weiqi International Development Bank".

This was just a small episode before the "Iron Lady's" visit to China for negotiations, and in the days leading up to the talks, the atmosphere was tense, and the media spokesmen of the two sides refused to give in to each other, choking each other in front of the media from all over the world, each expressing its own tough force, and it can be said that the smell of gunpowder was very strong. Fortunately, in order to take care of the overall situation, they are quite restrained.

However, the global media has been buzzing like a holiday in the past few days. All countries paid close attention to the biggest international news of this period, not to mention it, and even the tabloids were not to be left behind, and they could not send reporters to the past in the hope of getting first-hand information, and of course, all kinds of editorials and "predictions" of the development of events were also indispensable. Not. Wrong. All in all, all kinds of news are in the dust.

The local residents in Xiangjiang can be said to be in a panic all day long. Of course, not all Xiangjiang people have their hearts set on the British Commonwealth, mainly Xiangjiang, which has been influenced by Western public opinion for a long time, lacks understanding of the political axe in the north, and it is precisely because of this lack of understanding that their hearts are full of fear. In the eyes of most people, regression is equivalent to communism, in other words, it is equivalent to confiscation of assets, and this is what worries them.

On September 22, 1982, the "Iron Lady" officially started her visit to China. The citizens of Xiangjiang are paying close attention to this important matter concerning the future of Xiangjiang. Of course, Gu Weiqi is no exception, because it is related to his next series of big plans. However, for his big plan, he also got in touch with the person in charge of the Mainland Radio and Television Bureau through Liao Mingzhi and got the right to broadcast live on Phoenix TV.

On the morning of September 24, millions of people in Hong Kong stood in front of their television sets to watch the world-renowned negotiations broadcast live on Phoenix International Television.

At 9 o'clock, the hands of the two outstanding leaders of the East and the West, the "Iron Lady" and the "No. 1 Chief", shook hands. In this regard, the negotiations have begun to enter a truly substantive phase.

The negotiations were preceded by tension and tension. But when it comes to formal occasions, the Zhengzhi family will always have a warm smile. In particular, the "Iron Lady" has a kind and kind smile, and she does not see any hostility, and the reform designer is also full of the demeanor of a leader of a great country.

Gu Weiqi sat in front of the TV, and also watched intently at the two people sitting on the sofa talking cordially during the live broadcast. However, looking at this situation, there is not much difference from the new article simulcast in later generations. The audience couldn't hear what the two were discussing, only the narration of the media host, and just looking at the picture was a bit like gossip and light.

However, soon the camera switched from the two to the picture of the media host and invited guests of Phoenix TV, and the two began to speculate about the process of the negotiations, and sometimes connected to the on-site host in Kyoto. Let him describe the atmosphere and various details of the scene to the audience.

Zhao Yuzhi, who watched TV with Gu Weiqi, sighed: "I don't know what will happen to Xiangjiang in the future? ”

Gu Weiqi smiled and said, "Why do you care about these things?" Let's just focus on making money. ”

Zhao Yuzhi glanced at him in surprise and said, "Don't you care about the future in the future?" ”。

Gu Weiqi said indifferently: "It's useless to care, these national affairs are not something that we ordinary people can decide." ”

Finally, two or three hours later, the two leaders ended the conversation.

However, the "Iron Lady" did not look very good, so when she walked out of the Great Hall and down the steps, she suddenly stepped into the air, rolled down the steps and fell to the ground. The embarrassed appearance almost knelt down in front of the Great Hall in a posture of "throwing himself to the ground", as if he was repenting for the British invaders who had committed many crimes on the land of China.

This historic scene not only dumbfounded the audience in front of the TV, but even the people accompanying the scene almost crashed their heads. Fortunately, someone reacted quickly and hurriedly surrounded the noble old lady, but it was too late. Because this scene has been faithfully recorded by the camera.

The frightened lady stood up a little awkwardly, and while regaining her noble and elegant smile, she whispered something to one of the attachés. This is something that the viewer in front of the TV can't hear. However, Gu Weiqi, who came from later generations, knew the general content of this sentence. Because this sentence was heard by a close Western media person, and then it was released.

"Deng is really a piece of stee 'steel'!"

And at the moment when the "Iron Lady" fell, Gu Weiqi immediately picked up the big brother, dialed the number for Luo Jianan, and said, "Plan to start immediately!" ”

Luo Jianan, who received the call, now trusted Gu Weiqi to the point of blindness, so he started the plan without saying a word.

However, the meeting between the "Iron Lady" and the "Chief One" did not sign any agreement. The real deal was signed in 1984, but it was decided before that. Especially with the release of a blockbuster news that "the British Commonwealth has fallen" by the Western media, it has caused an uproar among the citizens of Xiangjiang.

In fact, the "Iron Lady" only had a small fall on the steps. But the entire Xiangjiang River seemed to have stepped into the air from a high altitude and fell to the bottom in an instant. The worst thing is that Hong Kong and Britain did not care about it this time, but instead threatened that once China took back Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang would fall into chaos, and began to intensify their efforts to create public opinion, fan the flames, and incite the unknown masses to put pressure on the north.

As a result, the stock market has plummeted, especially in the chain reaction, and the worst fall is the real estate company, many real estate developers have thrown out a large number of sell orders, and the price has dropped by a step a day. In particular, the real estate in the New Territories has fallen miserably, for example, 10 million shops have dropped to 1 million, but unfortunately no one cares, which is very different from before the negotiation.

The reason why the property market in Hong Kong has fallen so far is that according to the agreement signed between the Qing Dynasty and the British Commonwealth, the New Territories will be returned to China after 99 years (i.e., 1997), which makes the legal period of the New Territories land sold by the British government only more than 10 years. The term "97 limit" became popular in Xiangjiang, which roughly means that all land bought in the New Territories will be recovered and confiscated by China in 97.

Who would dare to buy it?

In addition, last year the Commonwealth enacted an Act stipulating that anyone born in a British Commonwealth Dependency is eligible to become a British citizen, provided that one of the parents is a British citizen or settled in the British Commonwealth itself.

The introduction of this bill caused a wave of immigration in Hong Kong last year, and many people in Hong Kong applied to immigrate to the British Commonwealth in order for their children to become British citizens. This move caused the property market in Xiangjiang to plummet last year, and then gradually stabilized. But now, because the British Commonwealth is promoting public opinion in Hong Kong, the wave of immigration has broken out again. This also accelerated the collapse of the Xiangjiang property market.

A large number of wealthy people began to sell their assets at low prices, preparing to leave this "danger zone" and reopen their homes abroad. However, as soon as the stock market and property market collapsed, it will be bitter to the citizens of Xiangjiang, causing many people to pile up debts, and even jump off the building for it.

In particular, with the fall of the "Iron Lady", the stock market and property market have been worse, and the Hong Kong dollar has also depreciated sharply, due to people's worries about the future of Hong Kong. Almost every day passes, the Hong Kong dollar depreciates to a certain extent. In the black market, there are even people who exchange 20 Hong Kong dollars for 1 US dollar.

Of course...... With the sharp fall of the Hong Kong dollar, many shopping malls are worried that the Hong Kong dollar will depreciate into waste paper. As a result, some shopping malls only accept foreign exchange such as US dollars, British charts, and Japanese yen.

Regarding the economic crisis and chaos in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Governor Youde shirked his responsibilities and said: "The depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar is due to the Bank of China selling the Hong Kong dollar to put pressure on the British Commonwealth political axe, so as to negotiate in Beijing and win the initiative."

After concluding her visit to China, the "Iron Lady" did not immediately return to Britain after leaving Beijing, but instead stopped at Xiangjiang and held a news conference yesterday to continue to uphold her theory on the validity of the three treaties in a vain attempt to make the British Commonwealth continue to rule Xiangjiang.

After this news report came out, students from the University of Chinese and the Institute of Science and Technology of Hong Kong immediately organized a demonstration, and the procession trapped the old lady, known as the "Iron Lady", in the governor's palace and could not get out. The students held up slogans, stood up to the military police, and kept shouting with loudspeakers: "Oppose the validity of the three treaties!" ”；“ Support China to take back Xiangjiang! ”；“ The British people get out of the Xiangjiang! Countless reporters followed the visible team to take pictures.

Now the newspapers in Xiangjiang have turned the sky upside down, and all the media are basically divided into two factions. One faction believes that Xiangjiang should continue to be ruled by the British, and only in this way can the prosperity of Xiangjiang be maintained, and the Gong Party will not engage in economic and people's livelihood at all, but will only bring Xiangjiang to the ditch; The other faction emphasized that Xiangjiang belonged to the territory of China, and everyone was a Chinese person, and at the same time, the Qing government signed a Lend-Lease contract, so it was reasonable that China should take back Xiangjiang.

The two factions of media confronted each other, one scolding the other as a leftist tribute party spy and the other scolding the other as a traitor and traitor, which attracted the attention of all readers in Hong Kong. For such a major event, Gu Weiqi would never make any remarks, because the water of Zhengzhi is too deep, and if it is not done well, it will lead to fire.

And even if he leans towards the mainland, he will only let the TV station and newspapers beat the side drum, and it will definitely not make people show it so obviously. Because even if China wants to take back Xiangjiang, it will be more than ten years. For more than ten years, he was still under the jurisdiction of the British Commonwealth, and acting too much would definitely be detrimental to his career development.

In fact, he doesn't have much time for these national affairs, because he's busy buying them out right now. You must know that the assets of many companies have shrunk seriously, and some have even closed down directly. This time, he made nearly $500 million in advance in the Xiangjiang stock market, plus $1 billion from the British stock market, as well as $2.5 billion in cash in his hand, and tens of billions of dollars borrowed from several banks that have been converted into Hong Kong dollars.

All in all, Gu Weiqi's liquidity is as high as more than 6 billion US dollars.

Gu Weiqi's first acquisition was Jardine Matheson, which was controlled by the Keswick family among the four major British-owned foreign firms. The reason why they want to buy this one is because they have a "Hongkong Land Group" in their hands, which controls a large amount of land. As long as this economic downturn passes, Xiangjiang will usher in a period of rapid development, so there is no need to worry about what you do with the land in your hands.

What's more, Gu Weiqi also plans to build the "Mythical Empire Film and Television Base" and enter the real estate industry, build skyscrapers and other plans, and can't do it without land. And even if you buy it and don't do anything, the land alone will greatly increase in value in the future, and no matter how you look at it, you will definitely not suffer a loss.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is more cost-effective to wait until early next year to acquire Jardine Matheson. But in his memory, it seems that a year or two later, Jardine Matheson would move its domination from Hong Kong to Bermuda, and in the following years it would move the listing of the company and its subsidiaries from Hong Kong to Singapore or London.

In other words, if you move slowly, then it will be considered an acquisition, and what is the use of just leaving an empty shell to come? And now is the best time to make a move. Even a little extra money is worth it, because the potential for future growth is huge. As long as there are no surprises, the rate of return is amazing.
