Chapter 296: The Gathering (4)

Sir Youde nodded, he didn't believe that the Prime Minister of his country, Margaret Thatcher, would be unprepared for the current situation, but he didn't know what the relationship between Lin Yu and the Prime Minister in front of him was, and it seemed that he should have some kind of cooperative relationship with the Conservative Party.

"Hehe, if you want to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong, you have to rely on all of you here."

Several old men all smiled and agreed, and no one wanted to offend the Hong Kong governor now.

"Dear Lin, are you here to develop in Hong Kong, don't skip words. Sir Youde asked.

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh, no, I came to be a guest at the invitation of Grandpa Huo, although I am very optimistic about Hong Kong under the rule of Sir Huh, but I still have to consider whether to invest in Hong Kong." ”

Sir Youde smiled with relief and said, "Then I look forward to your investment, you don't know, although the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate is stable now, Hong Kong people are still worried about the future of Hong Kong." In January last year, the Hong Kong government approved higher taxi land licence fees and first registration tax, resulting in a large number of taxi drivers gathering in Kowloon City, causing small-scale riots. Later, in March 328 last year, the British-funded Jardine Matheson announced that it would relocate its head office from Hong Kong to Bermuda, which was regarded by all sectors of society as the intention of the British to withdraw its investment, and as a result, they were even more worried about Hong Kong's future. After the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration last year, many Hong Kong people were worried about China's governance over Hong Kong when they learned that the Chinese government had no intention of granting British passports and the right of abode to Hong Kong people, triggering a large-scale wave of immigration. After speaking, he smiled wryly, "Now, the citizens who are able to do so in society choose to apply for immigration to the United States, Canada, Australia and other places, and I have been reluctant to release the exact immigration figures because I am worried that it will cause panic." In addition, small countries such as Fiji, Bolivia and Belize have also come to join in the excitement and set up offices in Hong Kong in an attempt to attract investment immigrants. If you can invest in Hong Kong, then I think it will be much more effective than the government's declaration. ”

After Lin Yu heard this, he was secretly surprised, he couldn't imagine that the situation in Hong Kong was like this now, no wonder before coming to Hong Kong, his godfather and grandfather would be very helpless in Hong Kong, and they were happy again when they heard that they were going to Hong Kong, so it turned out to be like this. It seems that it is not fiction that Hong Kong people were often played as immigrants in TV and movies, but now Hong Kong people do have a crisis of confidence in Hong Kong's future. But these people emigrated, and they will definitely regret it in the future.

Several Hong Kong bigwigs were also a little surprised to hear Sir Youde say this, they also knew that there were businessmen immigrating, but they didn't expect it to be so serious, but they didn't have much say in this, so they all looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu thought for a while, and then said: "I still have to consider the matter of investment, I will discuss this matter with your government, as for those people who want to emigrate, let them go, I hope they will not regret it in the future." Moreover, I am still very confident in the future of Jazz and Hong Kong. ”

"Then I look forward to you coming to Hong Kong to invest." Sir Youde said with a smile, at this moment, Lin Yu felt that he was like an old fox.

However, Lin Yu doesn't care, this time can be said to be the time of Hong Kong's great development, and there is a lot to be done in real estate, electronics, finance, communications, department stores, hotels, and film industries. However, in these fields, almost all of them already have these business predators, and under normal circumstances, they will definitely not like to add a competitor to themselves. This is one of the reasons why Lin Yu is reluctant to invest in Hong Kong.

After everyone chatted for a long time, they saw Huo Zhenyu come to Old Man Huo's side and asked, "Father, people are almost here, do you think you can start?" ”

Old Man Huo glanced at Li Chaoren, saw Li Chaoren nodding, and then said, "Since that's the case, let's start." As he spoke, he stood up and said to everyone, "A few old fellows, I'll go over first, and a few of you will talk slowly." ”

Seeing that everyone was smiling and nodding, he looked at Li Chaoren and said, "Brother Li, let's go over first." ”

"Distinguished guests, gentlemen, ladies, today, I and our Hong Kong Cheung Kong Cheung Kong Cheung Kong Tung Li name, jointly invite you to participate in today's banquet, mainly to get together with you, since last year after the Sino-British agreement, we Hong Kong has some difficult to accept the scene, I remember very clearly, on March 28, 1983, when Tung Lee announced the results of Hutchison Whampoa before the market opened, each share of Hutchison Whampoa rose, the total value reached 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, This should have been good news, and then Jardine Matheson announced the relocation of Bermuda on the same day, which caused panic in the market on the spot, and the Hang Seng Index fell by 61.76 on the same day, a decline of 5.8. As a result, many listed companies have followed suit and applied for re-domiciliation, and the stock market has been sluggish. These people may be unintentional, or they may be intentional, but I want to say that no matter what, Hong Kong will be the Hong Kong of Hong Kong people, and no one can shake it. ”

After Old Man Huo finished speaking, he stepped aside and stretched out his hand to let Li Chaoren speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honour to meet you here, and I would like to start by talking about my knowledge of Hong Kong. In my mind, Hong Kong is an international metropolis, one of the richest, most economically developed and with the highest standard of living in the world. Hong Kong is an important financial, service and shipping centre in Asia, and is known for its clean government, good law and order, free economic system and perfect legal system. ”

As soon as Li Chaoren came up, he praised Hong Kong, so that everyone in the audience smiled, after all, Hong Kong is the place where they live day and night, and it is a home built together, containing everyone's hard work, and now they hear someone praise, and he is also the richest man in Hong Kong, Li Chaoren, who lives in Hong Kong like them, makes them feel very happy.

"However," Li Chaoren changed his words, and then said to the cableway: "Since the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, many Hong Kong citizens have thought that the sky has fallen, and they have pinned their hopes for the future on immigration. A high degree of autonomy', which shows that Hong Kong's future can only be grasped by Hong Kong's own people. I have never doubted this and have always believed that the future of Hong Kong is bright. But now, some international newspapers and periodicals are predicting that Hong Kong will decline day by day after the return to the motherland, and I wonder how they can predict it, are they God? Or are they prophets? I don't know if they are God or not, but I want to tell them that no, what they predicted will not come true, and as long as the people of Hong Kong themselves do not give up on themselves, the future of Hong Kong will only get better and better. ”

"You may ask, why am I so confident, why do I think the future of Hong Kong will be better and better? I want to tell him that I am a Hong Konger, a Hong Kong businessman, and that my confidence is only based on my belief in the British Government and the Chinese Government, and in the ability of Sir Youde. The future of Hong Kong is in the hands of our Hong Kong people, and in the hands of us Hong Kong businessmen, as long as everyone does his duty, then I fully believe that Hong Kong's future is bright and beautiful. In a word, I am full of confidence in Hong Kong's tranquility, and the Oriental Pearl will be even more brilliant after the return to the motherland, and under the guarantee of 'one country, two systems', Hong Kong will continue to be stable and prosperous, and continue to bring a steady stream of wealth to everyone." ”

Soon, the banquet hall resounded with stormy applause, and Lin Yu also looked at all this with a smile. Lin Yu was even thinking that the most uncomfortable person in this hall should be Sir Youde. As the Governor of Hong Kong, if Hong Kong becomes better and better under his governance, then his qualifications will be added to the book, but the British government does not like this approach, the British government does not want Hong Kong to be completely in the hands of China, so they hope that Hong Kong will get worse and worse during Sir Youde's tenure, but because of the existence of Lin Yu, and do not want to be so direct, this is up to Sir Youde himself, so among these people, the most awkward should be Sir Youde.

Just after Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren finished talking, the dance party of the banquet began, Hong Kong has been governed by the British for so long, and some living habits will inevitably be infected with some characteristics of the British, such as this banquet dancing is one of them.

The band first played a cheerful waltz, of course Mr. Huo and Li Chaoren would not go down and dance by themselves, but Huo Zhenyu and Li Chaoren's two sons took the lead in stepping into the dance floor and danced to the cheerful rhythm, and then the guests left one after another, and the dance floor gradually became crowded.

After staying for a while, several old men are also going back, and it is already very good to be able to stay here for so long as they are. Before leaving, they pulled Lin Yu to chat again, and even left him their contact information, and then left by car, Lin Yu and Huo Zhenting brothers personally sent them to the door.

When other people saw this scene, they couldn't help but be curious about Lin Yu, and even used various excuses to get to know him, so that they could get the favor of these big people, even if such young people had no power or power, they would all go to make friends. What's more, this young man will be a man, have real talent and real learning, this kind of young man is the most underestimated, maybe one day there will be an opportunity, as soon as he encounters the wind and clouds, he will turn into a dragon, so there is a saying that don't bully the young man poor, not to mention, this young man is not poor, can he come here, is there a poor person?
