Chapter 370: The Governor's Soft Knife
An official like the Hong Kong Governor is a rather unfamiliar term to Li Mingbao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info read the novel for the first time, it is recommended to read the book, whether it is the current Li Mingbao or the big guy, basically I have never been in contact with this kind of person. When that big guy made his career, there was no longer the term Hong Kong governor. And Li Mingbao himself, whether it was before or now, is not very good at political things, so he basically has no contact with this kind of people.
But now that the United Cinema Line is open, he will inevitably have to contact these people, even if it is not too in-depth contact, but it also needs to be error-free. Especially for the current Hong Kong governor, although Li Mingbao has not met him, he also knows that this Hong Kong governor, who has only been in office for a short time, is not a simple role, and more importantly, this guy has a very bad relationship with the mainland.
Of course, for the current Hong Kong Governor You De, even if he does not have some things from his youth, he will not be able to have a good relationship with the mainland when he sits in this position, after all, according to the historical process, during the period when he is the governor of Hong Kong, it is necessary to completely solve the Hong Kong issue.
And this complete solution, for the current British, it is obvious that it will not be beneficial to them, and the return is inevitable. Even if you are an international idea, how can it be good to have such a return signature on his hand?
But for such a big event, even if he is the governor of Hong Kong, he can't actually say anything, so he is quite aggrieved. And the Hong Kong Governor is aggrieved, so he naturally needs to find another place to vent it. Li Mingbao went to the mainland some time ago and invested so much, no matter what aspect it is, Li Mingbao is a good target to vent, so today the Hong Kong Governor was invited by the sixth uncle, one is to sell the sixth uncle's face, and the other reason may be because of Li Mingbao.
Regardless of whether Li Mingbao wants to or not, the sixth uncle intercepted Li Mingbao, and Li Mingbao has no reason to continue to hide. In line with the principle that sticking out the head is a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife, Li Mingbao honestly followed the sixth uncle to the small conference room of the Li stage and met the Hong Kong Governor Youde.
As the Governor of Hong Kong, it was not easy to come to the opening ceremony of United Cinemas as early as possible. After all, the situation in Hong Kong has not been very good recently, and it is impossible for ordinary people to invite him over, and he is not bored to this extent, but Uncle Six's invitation, coupled with the current status of United Cinemas in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Governor came to participate in the celebration, and there are reasonable reasons, but the time given for the opening celebration is a little bit more.
Seeing that Uncle Sixth came in with a young man, You had to get up from the sofa, then shook Uncle Liu's hand with a smile, and then looked at Li Mingbao.
"This is Mr. Li, right? is really young and promising, and it is not easy to create such a large industry in such a short period of time. As the Governor of Hong Kong, I am honoured to have such a wonderful person in Hong Kong, Mr. Lee, which represents the success of our education in Hong Kong. You De said with a smile on his face.
Fluent in Chinese, if Li Mingbao listened with his eyes closed, he would still think that it was a Chinese who spoke, and he would not have thought that this foreigner in front of him was actually a Zheng'er Ba Jing. In these days, it is very rare for foreigners to be able to speak Mandarin fluently, and the Hong Kong governor in front of him happens to be such a person.
"Thank you to the Governor of Hong Kong for his praise, my success has a lot of luck in it, and I will work harder in the future and dedicate myself to the prosperity of Hong Kong." For everyone who meets for the first time to praise himself for being young and promising, Li Mingbao is already indifferent, and he may be excited when he hears it once or twice, but if he hears too much, this word will be cheap, even if he is now boasting about him as the governor of Hong Kong, Li Mingbao does not feel much. Anyway, everyone is talking clichés, if you really take these words seriously, Li Mingbao will become a fool.
"It's very good that Mr. Li has such an idea, and the prosperity and development of Hong Kong is inseparable from successful people like Mr. Lee. We all have a common goal, which is to develop Hong Kong well, and we will live up to our responsibilities. So today I'm here to attend the opening ceremony of United Cinemas.
The film industry is very important for enriching the spiritual life of Hong Kong people, and the cinema chain is a window that reflects the spiritual level of Hong Kong people. The construction of cinemas will play a very important role in the screening of films. United Cinemas now bears more than 90% of the reception share of Hong Kong's commercial film market, so its importance is self-evident. Our government is appreciative of Mr. Lee's ability to unify and integrate Hong Kong's cinema chains. I hope that Mr. Li will be able to contribute more to the film market in the future, and make more contributions to the spiritual prosperity of our Hong Kong people. You De still smiled and encouraged.
Seeing You De's smiling appearance, Li Mingbao raised his vigilance instead. Li Mingbao is usually very wary of politicians. Especially for a character like You who can directly attack himself, the psychology of vigilance is more important than that of other business people.
And he also knows that politicians usually have a problem, that is, they are promoted first and then suppressed. This is a universal rule in the officialdom of any country. Don't look at yourself now, you have to praise yourself like a flower, but who knows when there will be a divine turn? Such a turn of the gods is not uncommon in business, let alone politicians.
I'll compliment you first, and then I'll have a but, and everything will be over. So Li Mingbao didn't care how much You had to praise himself at all, because he knew that these words were false, as long as there was a but, all the praise in front of him had no practical meaning, but the latter words were the center of the conversation. So Li Mingbao would rather talk to himself plainly, say hello and be done.
But praising himself like now, Li Mingbao knows that the weight is definitely not light, and he praises himself for more benefits in the early stage, but the damage to himself in the back will be heavy. Although Li Mingbao knew that even if You had to suppress himself with all his might, it would be uncomfortable for a few years, and as the only Hong Kong governor who hung up during his tenure, You De's luck was obviously not too good.
But his luck is not good, and he has little to do with Li Mingbao, even if he can't live for two years, but for the Hong Kong Governor, let alone two years, even if it is half a year or three months, it can make it difficult for the characters under his rule to vomit blood. can have a good relationship with Youde, who is willing to go against the Governor of Hong Kong? Even if it is a person like the Xiang brothers, he will not be stupid enough to wrestle with the governor directly, it is not courage, but stupidity.
Originally, Li Mingbao still wanted to take over Youde's words and try his best to lead the topic to the field he wanted, but although Nima Youde was praising Li Mingbao just now, between the lines, it was all empty words, and it seemed that he said a lot, but in fact he didn't say anything, even if Li Mingbao intended to answer the conversation, he couldn't find a joint point to talk about. This is the thing that makes Li Mingbao the most unhappy, there are a lot of empty words, that is, they can't talk about the key places, which is very uncomfortable.
So Li Mingbao could only smile and say, "I will, definitely." "Quite unnutritious.
After hearing Li Mingbao's words, You De seemed to inadvertently say another sentence: "Since Mr. Li has the heart to make more contributions to the Hong Kong film industry, can you put aside the affairs on the mainland so that you can concentrate on doing things in Hong Kong?" ”
Hearing You De's words, Li Mingbao knew that something was really coming. Although it didn't catch Li Mingbao off guard because of two sentences, it made Li Mingbao a little aggrieved. If you have to resolutely let Li Mingbao not invest in the mainland, Li Mingbao can still say two sentences without yin or yang, and use the company's development to shirk it.
But instead of doing that, Yude spoke in a consultative tone, which was more difficult. You must know that although the tone of Hong Kong governors like Youde is negotiating, in fact, there is no room for negotiation, which is directly equivalent to a soft knife. Other Hong Kong governors have discussed with you, how much face do you have, and you still refuse, isn't this not treating the Hong Kong governor as a cadre? If you don't give face to the Governor, do you expect the Governor to give you face?
In many cases, things like this are more easily overwhelmed by a soft knife than a hard knife. In a situation like the current one, can Li Mingbao refuse? Other Brits have saluted you before they soldiers, what do you want?
But if Li Mingbao wants to give up his investment in the mainland so rashly, it is obviously impossible, especially if he is the governor of Hong Kong, he can't stop himself from making money, right? What's more, the governor of Hong Kong is a short-lived ghost, and his influence on Li Mingbao will only be two or three years. Now that it's soft, it seems to have an explanation for Youde, but the things on the mainland are really troublesome.
Therefore, you have this face, Li Mingbao really can't sell it, and after selling You De's face, Li Mingbao's linings will be abolished, and only then can things on the mainland be settled, but now it has suddenly swayed, and Li Mingbao's impression on the mainland side will definitely drop a lot of grades. If you want to cooperate in the future, the conditions are not so good.
By this time, Li Mingbao could understand why the sixth uncle had already obtained a permit from the mainland, but he had not taken much practical action. Developing the market is a problem, but perhaps the more difficult problem lies in the political problem.
Especially for people like Uncle Six, controlling TVB TV has certainly allowed him to have a stable income, but because of the problem of wireless, his actions on the mainland really can't be too big. As he has a good relationship with the British government in Hong Kong, he can do wireless safely, and it is good to provide for the elderly, but because he has a company like wireless in his hand, he wants to make a big move on the mainland, and the first one who does not agree is the Hong Kong government.
As for things like TV stations, the Hong Kong government's ability to control them is much stronger than that of movies. Just issuing two more free licenses can make Uncle Six worry about gray hair, and if he directly passes the resolution to turn TVB into a pay TV station, Uncle Six will only have to jump his feet.
