Chapter 69: The New Governor of Hong Kong

"Chuzai, meet again." Liu Ruanxiong approached with a smile, and turned his head to praise Li Xuechu's female companion. "It's been a long time, Miss Lin, it's getting more and more beautiful now. It is estimated that when you go in, Chu Tsai will be jealous to death. ”

"Thank you, you're so complimentary." Lin Yujia replied restrainedly. Girls like to hear people praise themselves for being beautiful, but Yu Jia, who was born in a wealthy family, is not suitable for Li Xuechu on this occasion. Yu Jia, who is still a student, except for being dragged by the old man and Li Xuechu to attend a few meetings, usually stays in a church school with almost closed education.

"By the way, Da Liu, have you seen the new governor?" Li Xuechu asked.

"No, I'll see you today."

"You didn't come to see him when he came?"

"What did I do as a small business owner? Those big families and justices of the peace will go to greet me, I used to be looked at by people. What's the point? Liu Ruanxiong pursed his lips and said a little sourly.

Although one of the top ten richest people in Xiangjiang in later generations has now earned the first pot of gold, it is not yet ranked in Xiangjiang, where the rich gather. That's right, it's the 80s, and Li Ren hasn't even taken the first place.

After the two talked for a few words, Old Man Lin Yanqing came over.

"Da Liu, you're here too." The old man pestle a civilized crutch and said hello.

"Can you not come, don't you see that all the people in Xiangjiang who have heads and faces are basically here?" Liu Ruanxiong smiled and looked around.

The current Hong Kong Governor's Mansion includes almost the entire upper class of Hong Kong, cultural celebrities, politicians, and businessmen...... And so on. For the invitation of the new governor of Hong Kong, almost no one in Xiangjiang chose to refuse except for special circumstances, and Li Xuechu naturally followed the trend. I still have to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang, so there is no need to throw a face at the government.

"Chu Zai, let's go up to the second floor, and I'll introduce you to a few old friends." The old man said with a smile. "Da Liu, why don't you come up too."

Da Liu's smile became a little unnatural: "No, I'd better stay here, it's better to stay here and be comfortable." ”

"Then I'll take my leave." The old man smiled teasingly, grabbed the civilized crutch and walked up the stairs with his hands, Li Xuechu smiled apologetically at Liu Ruanxiong, and also took Yujia to follow.

Li Xuechu was a little unimpressed with the old man's style, what kind of jokes are you making, aren't you afraid of offending people plainly? People will be much richer than you in the future. There is also the crutch, many people in the circle of Xiangjiang like to engage in the British aristocratic style, the car loves to buy British luxury cars, and the clothes also imitate the British aristocracy. But I'm afraid it's starting to lose popularity in the UK, except for the older ones.

The invitees receive different colors, such as the top rich and high-ranking politicians receive gold, which can go up to the third floor, and the next level is silver, like the one they receive, basically on the second floor. Da Liu received an estimate of the 'ordinary version', and he was squatting on the first floor. This is the first time Li Xue has experienced the clear 'class' treatment, and he feels particularly twisted.

Although there are no security guards or the like guarding the floors, basically no one will run to a place one step higher than the floor implied by the invitation, and it is not interesting to save yourself. This is the reason why the old man screamed in front of Da Liu: I am one level higher than you.

When I went up to the second floor, I looked at the appearance of less than fifty people, which seemed to be much more spacious than the first floor. Li Xuechu, the people on the second floor, also knew some, basically engaged in finance, real estate and hotel industry, and some seemed to be engaged in shipping. On the first floor, there are more factory owners. It is no wonder that the people of Xiangjiang have given up industry in recent years to engage in finance and real estate, and compared with the real estate that makes 30 to 50 percent of the annual profit, the return rate of the industry of more than 10 percent a year is dwarfed.

However, there will be a reshuffle in a few months, and finance and real estate will take the brunt, and I don't know how many familiar faces will be fewer if I come next year. Of course, business is still not easy.

"Chu Zai, let me introduce you, this is Dong Lao." The old man led Li Xuechu and the two into a small circle. "This is the first child, and my eldest granddaughter Yujia. Come, say hello to Dong Lao and a few others. ”

"Hello Dong Lao." The two greeted.

Dong Lao? It is estimated that he is the Lao Tzu of the later generations, and now he is the largest shipbuilding boss of the four major ship kings in Xiangjiang except for Bao Lao. As Bao Lao began to shrink the shipbuilding industry and sell ships, the Dong family, which was still expanding significantly in the past few years, was about to sit on the top spot in the Xiangjiang shipbuilding industry. However, this son is not easy to sit, with the economic crisis that has exploded around the world and the shrinkage of Xiangjiang industry, Xiangjiang shipbuilding industry has turned from prosperity to decline, and it is basically losing money, and the larger the scale, the more losses.

It is said that Dong Lao should be on the first floor, but with the sharp decline in the value of ships in recent years, the wealth of the Dong family has shrunk by more than half, and it is still losing money year after year. Looking at the sad look on Dong Lao's face, he knew that he was not optimistic.

Different from Li Xuechu's expectations, several people in the circle were interested in themselves, and they talked about it more than chatting with the old man. Maybe it's because his wealth has risen too fast in recent years, which has aroused everyone's curiosity and friendship. The old man didn't mind, and watched happily from the side. Dong Lao also stood on the side with the old man, and everyone in the audience showed favor to Li Xuechu.

"Brother Lin has a good eye." Dong Lao sighed and said to the old man. "Your other skills are sparse and ordinary, but picking a son-in-law and grandson-in-law is very poisonous."

"What are you talking about?" The old man was not happy, but he also said quite smugly: "I have always been very accurate in looking at people, but I was really surprised at the beginning of school, I fell in love with his character at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

The two deliberately talked in a low voice, but Li Xuechu, whose hearing had increased greatly after the crossing, still heard it and was embarrassed. I couldn't help but look in the direction of my girlfriend next to me.

seemed to sense Chu Zai's gaze, and Lin Yujia also looked over and gave him a sweet smile back and forth. Yu Jia also felt honored for the pursuit of Chu Zai.

"Be careful in the future, don't let people show up." Li Xuechu thought while dealing with everyone. To be a good husband, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult, so I can only try my best.

"The Governor is here."

A high-spirited white old man came with an old woman with a graceful demeanor. The old woman was distinctly Asian, which was what distinguished her from the other governors.

The new Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, had worked and lived in China in his early years, served as ambassador to China, could speak Mandarin and Xiangjiang, and was known for his love of Chinese literature, which was a typical China expert among Europeans and Americans. Even his wife was Chinese.

However, it would be a big mistake to assume that he is a person friendly to China. At this moment when Sino-British relations were at their strictest, his position can be seen to replace the 'weak' Mai Lihao as the new governor of Hong Kong. And Li Xuechu, who came in later generations, also knew that the person in front of him and the last Hong Kong governor Chris Patten were almost the two people who had the worst relationship with China, and most of the disputes were born during their tenure, although there were also political factors.

People from political and business circles scattered everywhere quickly surrounded and expressed their welcome, but Li Xuechu reluctantly followed. Youde shook hands one by one very graciously, and greeted everyone skillfully in Xiangjiang language, this accent felt no worse than Li Xuechu, who was also an outsider.

It was Li Xuechu's turn.

"Mr. Governor, I am glad to see you."

Youde looked at Li Xuechu with a kind face and said with a smile: "I know you, you are Mr. Li Xuechu, a business genius who became a rich man in less than two years, right?" Hehe, younger than I thought. ”

Youde is a gentleman in standard, with less English arrogance and more modesty in his speech and demeanor. Although he knew that he was a 'villain', he also made Li Xuechu disgusted.

Everyone also smiled and agreed, and many people looked at Li Xuechu with a little more affection.

"Know me? This foreigner has done a lot of homework. Li Xuechu was a little more careful, he really had to be careful in his tenure.
