According to the scheduled itinerary, Zhang Shaoping will participate in the ribbon-cutting of the "Family Fun" Beijing Xidan South Exit Store on the 8th, and then take the plane of Beijing Feisui City on the 10th and return to Hong Kong by route. But on the afternoon of the 5th, Zhang Shaoping received a call from Chen Guanzhong, who urgently told him to leave Beijing quickly.

It turned out that on February 4, a reporter from the Associated Press in Guangdong Province sent a telegram saying that "in red. The country's reform and opening up has made a breakthrough from the diet". A report that was originally described positively, but after being quoted by Hong Kong and Taiwan media on February 5, it caused a storm of public opinion in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.

It all started with the Sino-British negotiations on Hong Kong's return to the motherland.

Back in 1972, in. China has sent a clear and unmistakable signal that it does not recognise the UK's sovereignty over Hong Kong. This was confirmed two years later by the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Heath, and was officially confirmed by the declarations and statements made by China and the United States after the establishment of diplomatic relations. But it's Saw's turn. When Mrs. Chelsea was Prime Minister, the rumors began to change, and British politicians did not want to return Hong Kong to China at all. As a result, the British political axe in Hong Kong began to indulge the media, trumpeting "what Hong Kong is an integral part of the British Empire" and "what is in it. The mainland of China is a communist country, and Hong Kong, which cannot manage capitalism well", and so on. Of course, the mainland side was not to be outdone, and the pro-mainland "Ta Kung Pao" and "Wen Wei Po" immediately fought a strong counterattack, and they were in contact with the pro-British media, fighting a war of public opinion.

In addition to calling out the battle through the media, the two countries are also courting all strata of Hong Kong society, cultural intellectuals, and elites. For example, the British political axe in Hong Kong, headed by the two banks Jardine Matheson and Standard Chartered, entangled a group of so-called successful people in the business circles to form groups such as the Hong Kong Young Businessmen Group and the Hong Kong Business Joint Petition Group, and rushed to the capital to state public opinion. In 80 and 81 years, after doing it for a while, Britain saw that the fire was enough, and it was time to fight with the north. The Beijing authorities have a showdown.

It was at that time that the Falklands War with Argentina was won. Mrs. Chel immediately decided to visit China. The Beijing authorities talked about the future of Hong Kong. On September 24 last year, the British Iron Lady met Zhong. Deng Gong, the country's iron and steel company, finally fell on the stairs of the Great Hall of the People. While making Zhang Shaoping make a lot of money, it also detonated more and more deep-seated contradictions.

As for the sovereignty of Hong Kong, none of the British Empire and the British politicians and pro-British people in Hong Kong advocated its return.

From time to time, it has been suggested that Britain should simply refuse to make any concessions, that it should insist on absolute sovereignty over Hong Kong Island and Kowloon City, and that it should renegotiate the renewal of its lease in the New Territories, but most of these proposals are not serious.

Some right-wingers have even advocated the construction of a "Berlin Wall" along Boundary Street to separate British Kowloon from the New Territories. Obviously, this will not work at all, as long as the . If Britain opposes it, it will be impossible for Britain to keep the New Territories, and the problem of water supply is only one of many problems that are obviously insurmountable. For the UK, frankly refusing to hit. There are some possibilities for the position of the country. International law is likely to recognize British sovereignty over Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and international public opinion is likely to agree that Britain should give Hong Kong the power to read. It is difficult for a country to completely ignore international law and international goodwill relations.

But in . The United Nations removed Hong Kong from the list of colonies, i.e., it was legally recognized. The rights of the state.

In desperation, Britain simply forced the palace with public opinion. A 1982 poll showed that 85 percent of those surveyed preferred the status quo and only 4 percent wanted Hong Kong to be returned. There are still a very outspoken minority, especially young students, who lash out at "unequal treaties", showing a strong sense of neutrality. national nationalist feelings.

The British to the north. The Beijing authorities said that since we can't get along, let's have a vote in Hong Kong. Set three choices, one is to maintain the status quo, that is, let the British political axe of Hong Kong continue to rule; The second is to learn Singapore's reading power to become a city-state; The third is the return. Country.

If you want to vote, of course, the mainland is not willing to do it. You girl, Hong Kong has been colonized by you for nearly a century and a half, and those people have either been brainwashed by you, or they are the spokesmen of your interests. Besides, there is another serious hindrance, that is, the platform. The Gulf authorities are on the side of Hong Kong's British political axe and resolutely oppose the return of Hong Kong's sovereignty to the mainland.

In the face of China's unwavering stance and the stagnation of negotiations, Sa. Mrs. Cair, who was restless, made the following proposal at a working meeting of the negotiating team held at the Prime Minister's Office on January 28: If the negotiations do not progress, let Hong Kong become autonomous in a short period of time, as was done in Singapore; Or quickly hold a referendum on Hong Kong under the auspices of the United Nations, with a referendum by local residents.

It can be said that the relationship between China and Britain is falling into a freezing point at this time, and the smell of gunpowder is strong. The Associated Press correspondent in Guangdong Province sent a telegram that became the fuse. In the "red. In the article "Reform and Opening-up of the Country, Making a Breakthrough in Food", a comprehensive and detailed report was made on the White Swan Hotel in Suicheng, which is in trial operation, and the "Quanjiale" fast food restaurants in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which have already opened, and it is revealed between the lines that the "White Swan Hotel" is the first five-star hotel in Sino-foreign joint ventures, and the "Quanjiale" fast food restaurant is the first foreign-funded fast food restaurant to open in the mainland, and it is also the first modern company with chain operation.

After this telegram was reprinted by the Hong Kong and Taiwan media, under the interpretation of well-intentioned people, Zhang Shaoping immediately became a hardcore pro-China faction of the same level as the Huo family, and it is no wonder that Chen Guanzhong was in a hurry and hurriedly asked Zhang Shaoping to leave the capital as soon as possible.

Under the rumors, Zhang Shaoping took the train back to Suicheng, and then returned to Hong Kong in a low-key manner.

Halfway through, Zhang Shaoping said to Mi Xue: "Let's separate here, you go back to your parents' house first, or go back to your rented apartment." When the limelight is over, we'll meet again. ”

Media reporters from the outside world couldn't find Zhang Shaoping's figure, and they must all be squatting outside his villa, waiting for the rabbit, so it was necessary for the two to go separately.

"Well, pay attention to yourself, don't get caught by media reporters." Michelle said with concern.

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhang Shaoping smiled faintly, not worried at all, "I'll stay at home, don't go anywhere, pretend to be an ostrich for a few days, and then see the situation." ”

There are thousands of Hong Kong people doing business on the mainland, and I don't know how many people have inextricable ties with them. Moreover, the things in public opinion are not accurate at all, and they are either controlled by others, or they are induced or exaggerated by others, just to fool the general public. After this limelight, it is estimated that the matter will pass.

Zhang Shaoping's car went to the top of Taiping Mountain, turned into Binji Road, and from a distance, he saw twenty or thirty people scattered outside the villa gate, smoking and farting. Or with a camera on his chest, or a microphone, anyway, when you see these people, you know that they are journalists.

"Hey, there's a car rushing here." To be a journalist, you must first have a sensitive ear and eyes, and secondly, you must react quickly enough.

"It should be Zhang Shaoping, a bull...... No matter who it is, block him first. ”

The reaction of these people can be called fast, Zhang Shaoping's car has not yet driven to the gate of the villa, they have rushed up, and even magically took out pens, interview books and cameras, taking pictures, questioning, photography, chaos.

"Mr. Zhang, is your political stance left-winger?"

"Right-wing groups accuse you of taking refuge in China. The mainland of China is ignoring the interests of the more than 5 million people in Hong Kong, what is your opinion on this, Mr. Zhang? ”

"Mr. Zhang, the Oriental News scolded you for being ignorant and stupid, do you have anything to say?"

"Mr. Zhang, do you support the mainland's recovery of Hong Kong's sovereignty, or do you favor maintaining the status quo?"

"JCI Hong Kong has recently announced that it will refuse to invite and accept you as a member of the Chamber because you have a biased stance on politics and violate the two purposes of 'social responsibility' and 'promoting social development'. Mr. Zhang, do you have any objection to this accusation? ”

"Mr. Zhang......"

These people come from major newspapers, periodicals, and television stations in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, including text reporters, television reporters, and radio reporters, as well as photographers and videographers.

In addition, when they ask, there are all traps, and whether you answer "yes" or "no", as long as you open your mouth to explain, tomorrow's newspaper will definitely report according to their "understanding".

Zhang Shaoping knew this very well, and despite the noise outside, he closed the car window, did not say a word, and sat extremely calmly.

Hearing the sound of the car, Uncle Chen trotted to open the door. The reporters didn't ask a few words, and the car slowly drove into the villa. The reporters still didn't give up and wanted to chase in, but they were blocked by several bodyguards in black clothes and pants. Several male reporters tried to rush in with brute strength, but they inevitably pushed and shoved, and almost fought. rushed a few times, and after feeling that there was no drama, the reporters were not disappointed, but left with a smile.

These people are used to playing with words, and no matter whether Zhang Shaoping speaks or not, they have a way to write eye-catching articles.

The next day.

"Oriental Daily" reported: "Zhang Shaoping is stubborn and stubborn, and he died [***] to the end. The article added fuel to the description that Zhang Shaoping was speechless when asked by reporters, acquiescing to his left-wing identity.

The "Overseas Chinese Daily" said: "When the mainland started, Zhang Shaoping tacitly chose a side politically. ”

"Ta Kung Pao" reported: "Zhang Shaoping, a young entrepreneur, has a pure heart. ”

"Ming Pao" said: "Zhang Shaoping appeared in a low-key manner and did not express his position on the very loud reports. ”

Even TVB also participated, and the host joked: "Zhang Shaoping became the youngest billionaire when he was young, but his mind was not mature enough." ”

．．．．．．

All the media, pro-Taiwan faction and pro-Hong Kong British belittled Zhang Shaoping, and those who were pro-mainland exalted him, and the text was relatively neutral, only "Ming Pao" alone. Zhang Shaoping read it, and he didn't bother to read it, these reports are all nonsense, and they all use the word "default", which makes it difficult for you to sue it for "slander".

On February 7, the White Swan Hotel in Suicheng was grandly opened, and Mr. Huo took Huo Zhenting to attend the ribbon cutting.

In front of the media reporters, Mr. Huo directly choked: "It's okay to build factories and shopping malls, but it's not okay to build hotels, what kind of logic is this?" ”

On February 8, the family-friendly fast food restaurant in Beijing was officially opened, and Zhang Shaoping was absent, but Zhang Baifa, the deputy mayor of Beijing, came to cut the ribbon.

When reporters from Western countries in Beijing heard the news, a reporter from the United Press of the United States sent out a telegram that compared it to "China. The country's reform and opening up is once again underway".

When Yuebin Restaurant opened three years ago, Long Bule, a reporter from the United Press Agency, wrote in his report: "In the Communist Party. In the party. The heart of the country, delicious food and private industry and commerce are being rejuvenated in narrow alleys. ”

The United Press was once an authoritative organization for Western countries to understand the mainland, and the two reports echoed back and forth, causing an extraordinary sensation in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. If Zhang Shaoping only invests and does business in Shenzhen and Suicheng, Taiwan. The Bay authorities can still turn a blind eye, but where the capital is, it is the head or heart of the mainland, and the quality of this surname is different.

Just when the Taiwan authorities were furious and wanted to list Zhang Shaoping as an unpopular leftist, they suddenly heard that Agence France-Presse reported: "North. The Beijing authorities opened up, and Esquel Group invested in the construction of the Xiangshan Hotel. ”

At this moment, it can be said that there is an uproar in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. What is Fragrant Hills? As long as there is a little knowledge, they all know it. This report directly pushed Esquel Group and Yang Yuanlong to the forefront, and reduced Zhang Shaoping's pressure by half.
