The 199l flood in East China is a painful memory for many people born in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.

It may not be as dangerous as the 98 flood, but because of the lack of preparation of local governments at all levels, coupled with the lack of disaster relief, etc., the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui suffered heavy losses in this natural disaster. Lin Xiaozhi seemed to be still in elementary school when the flood came, and when his home was flooded, he was still as happy as a group of children of the same age, holding handmade fishing nets everywhere to catch fish, until half a month later, when he was hungry for two months, he began to fear the flood. Looking back on it now, it was a painful memory

Song Nianhui's voice was a little disdainful, "The major floods that occurred in May and June covered more than a dozen provinces across the country, and Hong Kong didn't hear much about it. Should it be said that it is better to block the mainland's information, or is it that Shenzhen has isolated Hong Kong from the mainland......"

Obviously, he could not understand the mainland's norms for doing things, and several African countries had relied on the loans owed to China, and at the very least, he could not settle them. North Korea has relied on its debt to China, and Kim Il Sung has only repaid 100 million yuan after the 700 million US dollars. Vietnam is even more ruthless, and it is impossible to calculate how much material debt this white-eyed wolf relied on China at the beginning. But in the past, the Soviet Union and China were at loggerheads, millions of troops on both sides were gathered on the border line, and Lao Maozi threatened China to repay its debts (the Soviet Union aided China), and the rabbit was very backbone, and would rather tighten his belt and starve himself, and take the agricultural products to pay off the Soviet Union's debts, rather than owe Lao Maozi a little debt. At the time of the Tangshan earthquake, the international community wanted to donate to the mainland.

It is not so much that Sijiucheng wants to save face, but in fact, it should be said that those people in Sijiucheng, who are deeply influenced by traditional Confucian culture, have the idea of the Heavenly Empire in their hearts is deep-rooted, which is incompatible with the main style of the supremacy of benefits advocated by white Europeans and Americans in this world

However, these thoughts were spinning in his head, but Lin Xiaozhi would not say it, and after reading the newspaper report at a glance and ten lines, his face began to become heavy.

According to the newspapers, a total of 18 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government experienced floods, and 5 provinces and autonomous regions experienced severe drought. The most severe disasters and losses were in the flood-stricken provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui. According to the mainland's preliminary statistics, more than 480,000 people have been affected by the disaster in Anhui Province, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the province's total population, and more than 4.3 million hectares of crops have been affected, and the direct economic losses have reached nearly 7 billion yuan. More than 10,000 people were affected by the disaster, accounting for 3 million hectares of crops in the province's total population, and the direct economic losses were 9 billion yuan. 00,000 homeless victims erected temporary tents on the embankment of the Huai River.

The storm of the previous two years caused a large-scale wave of foreign capital withdrawal, which hit the mainland economy hard, and it has not eased until this year. At this time, there were frequent signals of the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the north, tens of thousands of unemployed people in various places, and the mainland could not spare more money to resettle tens of millions of disaster-stricken people.

"In the past few years, the Hong Kong and Taiwan media have made too much trouble, and all kinds of anti-mainland articles have come out one after another, and it is normal for the mainland to be locked and unable to receive news from the north," he replied to Song Nianhui casually, but his head began to turn.

Recently, after becoming more and more accustomed to his identity as a Hong Kong person, this sudden natural disaster made Lin Xiaozhi clearly see the opportunity.

There is no need for media accusations in Hong Kong and Taiwan, even Lin Xiaozhi himself knows that when he went north in March this year, he actually did not achieve much. Although he made a lot of money privately by successfully investing in four mainland companies, and successfully made the mainland relentless to agree to co-produce films, and also contributed to the establishment of the Beijing Film Group and the Hong Kong and Taiwan Film Works Cooperation Division, Sijiucheng has not expressed its position on the two fundamental differences that Hong Kong filmmakers are most concerned about: the classification system and allowing Hong Kong films to be released in the mainland.

Lin Xiaozhi was not in a hurry, because for Media Asia, just trying to gain a firm foothold in the markets of Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States has divided most of Media Asia's energy. However, it would be a pity not to show such a good opportunity to show favor to Sijiu City.

After the political turmoil, the confrontation between Hong Kong and the mainland has led to the emergence of various contradictions between the two sides, and there is no shortage of capable people in both the mainland and Hong Kong who have noticed that if such antagonism continues with each other, the two sides can only hurt each other. Therefore, this is the first time that the mainland of East China has appealed for assistance to the international community, which can actually be regarded as a test to the international Chinese community. It is difficult to say on the Taiwan side, but with the gradual consolidation of Li Huihui's power, anti-communist and Taiwan-X remarks have appeared from time to time on the Taiwan side in recent years, and it is difficult to say whether Taiwan will be influenced by him.

The Chinese in Southeast Asia are closer to the Taiwan authorities, and most of the Chinese in Europe and the United States have fully integrated into the local authorities, so it is up to Hong Kong and Macao to become the main force of assistance, and Taiwan is barely half of it.

No one can stop the general trend of Hong Kong and Macao's return to China in 97 and 99, and it seems that there are only a few years left, and the only thing that will soften the attitude will be Hong Kong and Macao, so Lin Xiaozhi boldly predicted that this flood in East China is likely to become an opportunity to improve the antagonistic relationship between Hong Kong and Macao and the mainland. If you grasp it well, you may have unexpected gains.

He pondered for a while, and quickly made up his mind, leaving Song Nianhui to participate in the Ping An shareholders' meeting, and in addition, Chen emphasized from Hong Kong to negotiate with the Shenzhen government on his behalf to build a factory and enclose land to build a cinema, and he returned to Hong Kong immediately.

Lin Hsiao-chih's conjecture was soon confirmed, and although many local media in Hong Kong made wanton accusations about the 'East China floods' exposed by the mainland's sudden press conference, TVB even put together a special program in which several politicians were invited to criticize the mainland's negligence in blocking news of the floods.

However, unlike the dissatisfaction and accusations of most media outlets, Hong Kong's business and political circles were particularly happy when they learned that Beijing had held a press conference to appeal for aid from overseas.

Sir Wilson, the Governor of Hong Kong, who had been snubbed by Sijiu City in the past few years, immediately saw that this was an opportunity to mend the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland. On the second day of the press conference in Beijing, he took the lead in approving an aid proposal approved by the Financial Secretary, agreeing to allocate HK$500,000 to help the disaster-stricken areas in East China. At the same time, the British government of Hong Kong took the initiative to contact the Hong Kong branch of the Chinese News Agency, the highest office of the mainland in Hong Kong, and the two sides reached a consensus after only ten minutes of exchanges, and the Hong Kong government would set up a disaster relief fundraising office to collect donations from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

As a pro-mainland banner in Hong Kong's business community, Fok Yingdong, a red-roofed businessman, took the lead in donating HK$100 million to the Disaster Relief Fundraising Office. Li Jiacheng, the richest man in China, was a little late for him, but he also announced a donation of 100 million the next day. The two started to make tables for the Hong Kong business community, and soon the Hong Kong business community began to enthusiastically donate money for the floods in East China.

Dong Jianhua donated 20 million, Li Zhaoji donated 10 million, the Guo brothers donated 40 million, Zheng Yutong donated 20 million, Xu Shixun donated 10 million, and Liu Luanxiong donated 5 million......

In just three days, the total amount of funds raised for disaster relief in Hong Kong has reached more than HK$100 million. At the same time, Taiwan's donation to the disaster-stricken areas in East China was only $1.45 million......
