Chapter 285: The Hong Kong tycoons who are in a hurry
Old Man Huo was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "How is it possible?" Sir Youde, you are the Governor of Hong Kong, how can you not know that the Hong Kong police are moving? ”
"Oh, I know that, I gave the order." Sir Youde said with a smile.
"What's going on?" Old Man Huo hurriedly asked.
"Today, I called from the office of our Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, saying that we should protect one person, and expressed dissatisfaction with the security environment in Hong Kong, and let us improve the social environment in Hong Kong." Youde said leisurely.
I have to say that when he received such a call, it is enough to show that the above is not optimistic about his ability, especially if this matter is stabbed to the prime minister, it will lose points even more, and for this, Sir Youde is also very annoyed.
"Protect someone?" Old man Huo was taken aback, he didn't expect that Hong Kong would be so chaotic because of one person, this is too exaggerated, he hasn't heard of anyone in Hong Kong who has such a ability to influence the British Prime Minister.
"Yes, that's what I said on the phone, I heard that it should mean that Hexing would offend him, and the above was very angry, so that we must ensure the safety of that person in Hong Kong, and we can't make a difference." Sir Youde said.
Hearing this news, Mr. Huo was surprised, the British Prime Minister took care of it, if it is said that it is a certain department above to take care of it, it is understandable, many people in Hong Kong have this ability and energy, but if it is said to be taken care of by the Prime Minister's Office, then this matter is also strange, is it someone from the British government? But it's unlikely, if the British government had sent someone, then Sir Youde should have known it, and now listening to Sir Youde, it seems that Sir Youde doesn't know about this either.
In Hong Kong, it can be said that the Governor represents the Queen of England, the Queen of England is the supreme ruler of Hong Kong, and the Governor is the plenipotentiary representative of the British Crown, and the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces stationed in Hong Kong. In this way, the Governor of Hong Kong does not know the reason, and no one else in Hong Kong can know it.
"Then Mr. Sir, my old friend, does it say who that person is, don't skip words. Old Man Huo asked curiously.
Sir Youde thought about it, and finally decided to tell Old Man Huo, and said seriously: "Huo Sheng, my friend, it says that this person's name is Lin Yu, Huo Sheng, don't tell anyone about this matter again." ”
Lin Yu? Old man Huo was shocked, he didn't expect it to be Lin Yu, he didn't think it would be Lin Yu, but as soon as he thought of the relationship between China and Britain, he dispelled his thoughts, you know, although the relationship between China and Britain seems to be quite harmonious from the outside, but people at a certain level know that because of the Hong Kong problem, the current relationship between China and Britain is extremely abnormal, the British do not want China to take back Hong Kong intact, but China wants a complete Hong Kong, so the contradiction between the two countries is still relatively large, So it is impossible to treat a Chinese like this, but there is one thing that Old Man Huo does not know, Lin Yu's current nationality is not Chinese, but American.
As everyone knows, after World War II, the subordinate status of Britain and the United States changed, and Britain clearly realized that it was the general trend for the United States to replace Britain's leadership position, so it went with the flow and recognized the leadership position of the United States.
The United States and the United Kingdom are two developed capitalist countries in the world today. Because of their blood ties, language, culture, and history, the two countries have close exchanges and the relationship is extraordinary. Reflected in contemporary international politics, there is the so-called special relationship between the United States and Britain. Although there is still debate in the international academic circles about its existence, the author holds a positive view that the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is a historical and current existence, although it has obvious asymmetry. Asymmetry has two implications: first, Britain needs to achieve its diplomatic and strategic goals through special relations more than the United States; Second, in the special relationship, the United States is a "big partner," while Britain plays the role of a "small partner."
There are many reasons for the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom, including blood ties, shared history, language, and culture. But what is more important is the common interests of the two countries, especially in maintaining the international order. As one has pointed out, a key element of the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is that "the respective international interests of the two countries coincide to a large extent" and that the vitality of the relationship "derives from the perception of strategic alignment between the two sides".
Because Britain and the United States have the same social system, similar lifestyles, common languages, and many common interests, Britain and the United States have been the most staunch allies since World War II, and now the United States has become one of the world's superpowers, and in Britain's view, the security of Europe and the world is inseparable from the participation of the United States. Therefore, the United States and Britain are more like husband and wife.
Isn't there a joke that says? The United States will attack whoever it doesn't like, Britain will fight whoever the United States hits, Russia will hit whoever provokes me, North Korea will hit me, China will beat me, I will scold me......
The reason why the relationship between the United States and Britain is so close is because Lin Yu's identity will not cause the disgust of the British government, and it will not cause Mrs. Thatcher's disgust, since the Labor Party stepped down and the Conservative Party came to power, the relationship between Britain and the United States has become more and more harmonious, especially now that the United States is also the Republican Party is stepping down and the Democratic Party is in power, the relationship between the two countries now looks more like a honeymoon period, so Lin Yu's identity as an American citizen will not cause Mrs. Thatcher's plan, however, Mr. Huo is not clear about all this.
Hearing the news of Sir Youde, Old Man Huo was not surprised, he had already thought that Lin Yu's identity had energy in the world, but he didn't expect Lin Yu to even be able to influence the British Prime Minister, which can be described as a hand and eye, coupled with his identity as the crown prince in China, Old Man Huo found that he still underestimated the guest he personally invited.
After being polite to Sir Youde for a while, Old Man Huo hung up the phone, rubbed his forehead, thought about it, turned his head and asked, "Sixth, is Xiaoyu back?" ”
The sixth uncle shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it should be back soon." ”
Old Man Huo nodded, and then didn't say anything more.
Just when Mr. Huo was constantly thinking about something, the rich people in Hong Kong also inquired about the news one by one, but to their disappointment, no one knew what was going on, only that this time it was mainly an operation to crack down on the Hop Hing Association.
Many rich people who can't get the news have all looked at the places where those Hong Kong bigwigs live. But to their disappointment, most of the big guys didn't know what was going on.
In the Li family's mansion at No. 79 Deep Water Bay Road, Hong Kong, Li Ka-shing at this time was constantly thinking about what was going on.
Over the years, although Li Ka-shing's business has continued to rise, he has left a great name in the world. But he still hasn't forgotten that he is a Chinese and has always been in contact with the mainland.
The 97 incident, to be honest, has had a considerable impact on all walks of life in Hong Kong, especially in the business community, and everyone still knows a little about the mainland and knows the level of poverty in the mainland. With such a country in charge, will they still be able to maintain their wealth? Moreover, there are some people with bad intentions who continue to spread the darkness of the mainland. Although Li Ka-shing has a relatively large power in Hong Kong, it is not so smooth to influence the thoughts of so many people. Moreover, he vaguely felt that the mainland government did not trust him very much, and there was a certain degree of wariness.
Li Ka-shing thinks about it and understands what the government means, after all, he has been away from China for many years, and he has created such a big Mingtang under the capitalist society, and he himself has no relevant forces in the mainland, and no one has spoken to him or vouched for him.
In fact, to be honest, Li Ka-shing is also a little worried, especially now that the Sino-British negotiations have been decided, Li Ka-shing is even more worried about the future of the Li family and the future development of Cheung Kong Industrial.
However, he also knows that Hong Kong's return to the motherland is inevitable and doomed, so in recent years, he has been actively making his own efforts to stabilize Hong Kong's economic and social environment.
And now, the Hong Kong police suddenly came to a large-scale operation, which had to make him worry about the future of Hong Kong, in his opinion, this should be the result of the continuous struggle between China and Britain, he also asked some officials of the Hong Kong government department to inquire about the situation, but learned that they did not know the situation, and had to call the Hong Kong Governor Sir Youde, but Sir Youde was silent, and Li Ka-shing was helpless.
Rubbing his swollen head, Li Ka-shing still decided to ask Mr. Huo, he wanted to be sure of one thing, if there are still people in Hong Kong who know what is going on, then it must be Mr. Huo, in the whole Hong Kong, no one does not know the importance of Mr. Huo, it can be said that Mr. Huo is not the richest among the richest people in Hong Kong, but he is the most energetic, whether it is the mainland or the UK, they have deep connections, which no one can compare.
The more Li Ka-shing thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong, and what Hong Kong wants now is stability, not chaos, and this situation is indeed very worrying.
After thinking of this, he hurriedly instructed the driver to prepare the car, and he decided to meet Old Man Huo now and find out.
When Li Ka-shing came to the mid-level villa area where Mr. Huo lived, Lin Yu and the others had just received a call from the sixth uncle asking them to go back, although they didn't know why they were asked to go back, but the people who were disturbed really didn't have the idea of playing anymore. In the end, Huo Lili and Huo Xianqiang invited the Ye family brothers and sisters to the Huo family as guests, Ye Rongxuan thought for a while, nodded, and agreed, as for Ye Shuya, she naturally couldn't ask for it, and she was in love with Huo Xianqiang, so she naturally didn't want to be separated from Huo Xianqiang.
Several people looked at Huo Xianqiang, and then at Ye Shuya, and they all burst into laughter
