Chapter 695: Goodbye Hong Kong Island Rich (Part I)
Chapter 695: Goodbye Hong Kong Island Rich Lord
In general, Patten has played a great role on Hong Kong Island
But that was all in the previous life, in this life, Chris Patten took over as the governor of Hong Kong in early 91, and carried out drastic reforms on Hong Kong Island, trying to speed up the pace of democracy on Hong Kong Island
Soon after Patten took office, he fell into a bad relationship with the mainland government, in October 1991, before Lin Yu's rebirth, in October 92, Patten delivered his first policy address in office, the report mentioned the constitutional reform plan, said that the electoral system of the Legislative Council will be reformed, in addition to "the two bureaus are separated", all appointed seats will be abolished, and nine additional functional constituency seats will be added, so that all incumbents are eligible to vote, so as to speed up the pace of democracy on Hong Kong Island, but the Chinese government immediately expressed its dissatisfaction, pointing out that the reform has not consulted the central government, At that time, many officials in Beijing accused Patten of being a "poisonous snake", a "thief", a "prostitute", and a "last tango" for the democrats, among whom the then director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office rebuked Patten as a "sinner for the ages"
Before the return of Hong Kong Island, due to the confrontational attitude of the British government in Hong Kong and the influence of public opinion, some Hong Kong Island people had confidence problems. There is also a misunderstanding in the international community, and Fortune magazine has also made a cover feature called "Hong Kong Island is Dead" Many Hong Kong Island citizens have a kind of panic and worry about the return, and many people are worried that after the return of Hong Kong Island, various policies will undergo fundamental changes, and they have chosen to sell their assets and emigrate overseas, which once led to the social and economic shock of Hong Kong Island
Under these circumstances, in order to solve the problem of confidence among the people of Hong Kong Island, the mainland has not only pushed the people of Hong Kong Island to set up the "Good Tomorrow Foundation for Hong Kong Island" to go to various countries to explain China's policy toward Hong Kong Island, but has also invited some celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong to visit China, and all of them have a thorough understanding of China's policy of "one country, two systems" and "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" toward Hong Kong Island
This move, in particular, inviting Hong Kong Island celebrities to visit the mainland is not only to discuss a series of issues concerning the construction and development of Hong Kong Island after its return to the motherland, to offer suggestions and suggestions, and to reflect to the central government the social conditions and public opinion of Hong Kong Island, but also that these celebrities have a lofty status and tremendous influence on Hong Kong Island, so long as they are not only optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island and take practical actions to maintain the economic stability and prosperity of Hong Kong Island, they will be able to stabilize a large number of Hong Kong Island citizens, ensure the stable transition and return of Hong Kong Island, and play a role that cannot be underestimated in the economic and social development of Hong Kong Island after the return to the motherland(
However, since 83 years, Hong Kong Island patriotic businessmen and celebrities have always been committed to promoting the return of Hong Kong Island, frequently going back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong Island, especially the charter king, in the important position of Hong Kong island society and good relations with the British side, often run between the capital, London and Hong Kong Island, and frequent contact with all parties, especially when the Sino-British negotiations are deadlocked, play a role that others can't play, the old man has also met with the charter king and other patriots many times, but never let himself participate in ah
How could it be this time?
Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised
Director Chen glanced at Lin Yu with some surprise when he heard this, in his opinion, the old man pointed out that Lin Yu wanted to participate in meeting the celebrities on Hong Kong Island, which was nothing more than gilding for him, a person with a very good background, and the form of walking was over, anyway, the credit was indispensable to him, but why did he really treat himself as a dish?
Although Lin Yu's calm demeanor is abnormally different, it is completely different from ordinary young people, but after all, he is only in his twenties, and he is a young man who is casually left there, and he is older than this young man in united front work, Director Chen will never believe that this young man is not simple, can he be more knowledgeable than himself, a person who has done united front work for more than 20 years?
Slander is slander, but Director Chen doesn't dare to slack off, after all, if this boy really has some temper, it's a trivial matter if he doesn't go, but if he can't pay the difference, it's a big deal
"There are a lot of celebrities who came this time, including real estate tycoon Huo Lao, Li Ren, ship king Bao Lao, as well as real estate tycoon Zheng Dong and Guo Dong of the Guo family on Hong Kong Island...... Director Chen said with some respect Although he is a high-ranking official in the mainland, he often deals with celebrities from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and he is very familiar with the situation of these people
At the same time, Director Chen is also quite complacent, after all, these heavyweights are invited by himself, doesn't it also show that he has done a good job?
Lin Yu just heard the first few names, couldn't help but smile, they are all old acquaintances, every time he goes to Hong Kong Island, these bigwigs are all competing to invite, Lin Yu also with his own demeanor and foresight, predictive analysis ability for economic and social development, has won everyone's respect, several times of contact, it has become a year-old friend
I didn't expect everyone to come to Beijing at this time
However, it seems that in the context of supporting the eve of Hong Kong Island's return to the motherland, it is not particularly abrupt that other celebrities and elites on Hong Kong Island come to the capital together
Of course, Lin Yu could also think that the reason why the old man would let himself participate in the meeting was that in addition to being more familiar with the visiting celebrities, he was more able to speak on Hong Kong Island
Lin Yu pondered for a moment in his heart, and also wanted to meet these respectable bigwigs, looking at Director Chen's anxious and expectant look, he said with a smile: "I see, no problem, I should do something for the country."
Lin Yu agreed happily and neatly, with a sincere expression, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy and politeness, and the arrogance just now was simply like the two Director Chen was stunned, but he was also full of joy, no matter what, he finally made this trip in vain
Diaoyutai State Guest House is located in the western suburbs of Beijing Fuchengmen outside the ancient Diaoyutai Scenic Area, north and south about one kilometer long, east and west width of about 05 kilometers, a total area of 420,000 square meters, the internal environment is elegant and quiet, green grass, clear lake water, pavilions and pavilions, clear water, red flowers, forests, stone bridges, for the perfect fusion of Chinese classical architectural interest and modern architectural style, is an important place for Chinese leaders to carry out foreign affairs activities, is the country to receive heads of state and important guests of the star hotel since its establishment in 1959, It has received more than 1,000 guests from all over the world, and is a place that has attracted the attention of people and media from all over the world, and is known as the "first museum in the Orient"
In all fairness, the layout and scenery of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse are very distinctive, but compared to the real comparison, it is far from the paradise island that Lin Yu painstakingly managed, but there is a strong cultural and historical atmosphere and royal style everywhere, but it is incomparable anywhere, maybe a small pool inside, or a building water pavilion, all have leisurely allusions, making people in it, like going back in time, and can't help but indulge in it
The car seemed to travel through history, and after being inspected by many guards, it finally stopped in front of a building
This is a six-storey building arc-shaped main building, resplendent and magnificent, green space, landscape landscape, rockery, fountain will surround the main building, everywhere seems pleasant scenery, magnificent atmosphere can be called a small paradise, this building is a typical oriental ancient architectural style of appearance design, a pair of gilded bronze lions from the beginning of the century lost for many years and returned to their hometown solemnly guarded on both sides of the gate, looking from the gate, the scenery of the classical garden is beautiful
In such an environment, people's hearts can't help but restrain a little, and Lin Yu also tidied up his appearance slightly before getting out of the car, for fear that the slightest carelessness would defile this atmosphere and environment
In the long corridor, the guard is tight, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the fully armed Zhongnanhai bodyguards gathered outside the conference room, with a nervous look like a great enemy, and all kinds of electronic inspection instruments are readily available on his side, even if Zheng Yuanguang is carrying, Lin Yu has also been carefully searched for the whole body
Under the leadership of Zheng Yuanguang, the two walked to an antique hall, and before they got close, a staff member stepped forward and said to Zheng Yuanguang respectfully: "Director Zheng, the chief is receiving guests from Hong Kong Island, and I have asked you twice why you haven't arrived yet."
While speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Yu with some surprise, he was not a staff member next to the old man, and he didn't know Lin Yu, but he was a little surprised that this young man came here
"Got it, let's go in" Zheng Yuanguang waved his hand and said lightly, and the person went backwards, and it could be seen that Zheng Yuanguang's level was not low
"Go Xiaoyu, the old man is in a hurry" Zheng Yuanguang turned his face and said to Lin Yu with a smile on his face, that earnest expression and posture really surprised the person just now
At this moment, the eyes of these staff members looking at Lin Yu were not ordinary, and their hearts were turbulent and undulating, and this young man was not only accompanied by Director Zheng personally, but Director Zheng's tone seemed to be what the old man wanted to see in person, which was really incredible
The old man meets the guests of Hong Kong Island, what is the use of such a young man coming?
However, this question can only be pondered in their hearts, but no one dares to ask it
Zheng Yuanguang gently pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in with Lin Yu
The faint smell of tea wafted from the reception room, and the diminutive old man was sitting in a large white sofa, drinking tea and having a cordial conversation with the guests from Hong Kong Island around him
Except for the elderly, Chen Yong, head of the United Front Work Department, and a very small number of staff members around the elderly, there was no one else in the reception room, and the media also took a set of pictures and left in a hurry after they were allowed to interview, what can be reported, and later the relevant staff will naturally provide them with the text of the information, this kind of reporting on major national events has strict regulations and censorship system (to be continued)
