Chapter Seventy-Seven: Current Affairs
Li Zhendong couldn't help but be curious: "I remember that this Sri Lanka seems to only produce black broken tea, why will there be time for black tea to come out?" Hearing this, everyone present laughed. Brother, some of us are in the black tea business in Sri Lanka, and we sent people to pick them from the Sri Lankan tea farm." That's right, Sri Lankan black tea is also a famous product.
"Then where does the real Longjing tea come from?" "Money can make ghosts grind, and there are not many things in this world that can't be bought with money!" Someone understated the phrase "It depends on whether the price you pay is high enough"
Li Zhendong nodded and was taught.
The tea was all taken down, and the food was served.
Everyone obviously changed their attitude towards Li Zhendong. When they first met, they didn't think so, at most, they just regarded Li Zhendong as a junior who could sell his old qualifications. At this time, no one dared to regard Li Zhendong as a junior. Everyone is called a little brother, and the age has been ignored by this group of people. Everyone's expressions were full of enthusiasm. These people are all old rivers and lakes, people rolling in the business field, with a pair of bright eyes, how can they not be allowed to see people? At this moment, everyone has already determined Li Zhendong's identity, and he must be a son of a powerful family in the mainland.
For what? The formation of a good education is a reason for the formation of a good cultivation. On the other hand, material enjoyment is absolutely not fake. Imagine that a person can't even eat, what do you think? Only those who have money and leisure will think of tricks to enjoy, and can contact what ordinary people dare not think, such as this group of people at the table.
Li Zhendong, who was labeled as the son of a powerful person, was at a loss. Even if he told his identity after knowing the truth, no one would believe it. There will definitely be a turn in someone's heart: alas, it's a rich family grudge again! There must be a lot of secrets hidden in this?
The atmosphere at the table was very nice. However, some people are in a hurry, and with such a good opportunity, what kind of incense does the true god not worship you to burn?
The children of wealthy families in the mainland of the mainland are here, so let's explore the rumors. After three rounds of drinking, some people can't wait. "Little brother, what does the mainland think about the return of the port area now?" , The bosses who were talking and laughing at the wine table fell silent for a moment.
What everyone here is concerned about is the mainland's attitude toward the port area. This concerns the vital interests of everyone here. What happened to Mrs. Dai Zhuoer in Beijing in September is known to everyone as the events of the past few days. Mrs. De Zall also held a press conference in the port area to publicize the Chinese government's lack of cooperation.
Li Zhendong is clear about the British government's reluctance to return the port area. No country would be willing to change it, this place is purely a golden goose that lays golden eggs.
The Docklands are international trade and financial centres that offer great economic benefits to the UK. In the 70s, the Hong Kong District deposited as much as 9 billion pounds sterling reserves in the United Kingdom, equivalent to 12% of the total foreign debt of the United Kingdom, accounting for nearly 27% of the total gold and foreign exchange reserves of the Bank of England, and 1/2 of the support of the British pound came from the Hong Kong District. Britain obtains more than 300 million pounds of intangible trade [financial] income from the port area every year, and three-quarters of the British military expenditure in Hong Kong is borne by the port area. Such a treasure land, of course, Britain does not want to return. So, Mrs. Detzall was tough. Hwakoku's point of view is about sovereignty and the continued prosperity of the port area. Mrs. Dézor threatened that the resumption of the port area by China would have a disastrous effect on the port area. During the conversation, the Chinese leaders also pointed out that if there are serious fluctuations in the port area during the 15-year transition period, the Chinese government will have to consider the timing and method of recovery. In fact, the hidden meaning here is clear to the leaders of the two countries, that is, it is not ruled out that it will be recovered by force, and the dispatch of troops will be the last resort. Of course, the two countries reached an agreement in a year or two, after 22 rounds of negotiations.
Li Zhendong knows these things. It is known to everyone in the future generations, and now except for the highest level of Huaguo, who has just had this intention, the people do not know at all. Will it cause any unimaginable consequences if you speak out rashly?
At this time, facing everyone's expectant eyes, Huang Deding also looked very interested, with a headache. There was a moment of silence at the wine table, the topic was too heavy. Helpless, Li Zhendong waved his hand, "Pretty girl, please go out for a while, we have something." Seeing Li Zhendong's expression, the waiter in the elegant room was out of the way. The hearts of the people sank, and they came. Someone deliberately moved an empty chair and placed it at the door, it was necessary to be cautious, and perhaps what everyone heard would be a very confidential matter. Li Zhendong pointed his finger at the top, "I can only make a long story short, now we are negotiating, and we haven't negotiated for the time being." However, the port area must be regained its sovereignty, and there will be no war. ”
The heavy breathing of the crowd revealed their mood, and it seemed that Minato Ward would definitely return. I am a little frustrated, once the mainland returns, the politics, economy, and laws are completely different from those of the port area, and the status of the port area as an international financial and trade center will be shaken, and can the prosperity of this place continue? Everyone here has different thoughts, and some people are happy to return to the embrace of the motherland, wander for a hundred years, and finally return to their homeland. Some people are afraid of political struggles in the hinterland, and people like themselves bear the brunt of the first thing. Some people are simply worried about the impact on their business. Of course, there was no war or a relief to everyone.
Li Zhendong used the voice that everyone here could hear just now: "You don't have to worry, the upper echelons will maintain the stability of the port area, maintain the existing politics, economy, and laws in the port area, and ensure the status of the port area as an international financial center." One country, two systems will not change for 60 or 70 years. ”
Everyone heard it, and everyone's heart was full of turbulent waves. The port area returned to China and sovereignty returned to China, but the system of the port area remained unchanged and was still a capitalist system. This, this should be the most top-secret content of the upper echelons of Huaguo, right? The courage of everyone here is not small, and at this time I also feel a little weak in my hands and feet, have we heard something that we shouldn't hear? To tell the truth, everyone inquired about the news, estimating that Li Zhendong, the little brother, should know a little bit about the rumors. Well, this time it's big, and I can't hear the core secrets. Everyone's big mouth is open, quite neat! It's like a child's reaction when they hear a story about the Arabian Nights. Is this true?
There was a long period of dead silence, and everyone's face was changing in thought. In fact, everyone has already believed it in their hearts, and this statement itself is a kind of evidence.
Someone wanted to speak, but Li Zhendong stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't ask me again, I won't explain again, in fact, I shouldn't say it, for Huang Sheng's sake, say a few more words." In short, it comes out of my mouth and into your ears, and I will not admit anything that goes out of this door." Li Zhendong is really worried, and now the negotiations between the two countries are only preliminary contacts and have touched on this point. Mrs. Dézall was not willing to accept the loss of British interests, and was trying her best to arouse the public sentiment in the port area. "I have to remind everyone, just keep it in your heart, and forget it when you go out"
Next year, it will be easier to do, and the Chinese government will formally put forward the 12 articles when it negotiates with the British government. And people will be sent to the port area, and an agreement on this will be reached the next year.
Li Zhendong smiled and raised his glass, "A glass to all the big bosses, I have a sentence that can be said openly, you just have to rest assured to do business and make money, everything is as usual, and it will only be better in the future." This sentence is easy to understand, and everyone raises their glasses. Everyone was a little surprised in their hearts, today they heard something extremely secret, this kind of major event related to the game between the two countries, the little brother can know the way, then his identity is about to come out.
