Chapter 61: Set Sail
In his mother's advice, Li Zhendong promised: study hard and go to the top every day. Saying goodbye to his mother, carrying a large school bag, he walked towards the east in the darkness before dawn.
Seeing the departing convoy, Guo Yuanchuan and Li Weiming said hello to the leaders of the commune and prepared to return to the station. Yesterday, the two drank too much, so they naturally rested in the town. The jeep was driving on the winding mountain road, and Li Weiming said in a dull voice, "Lao Guo, do you see it?" Guo Yuanchuan was a little puzzled when he heard these brainless words, "What do you see?" "What happened last night, I don't believe you didn't see it, you're not a simple child of an old leader, there must be something in this that we don't know" Guo Yuanchuan heard this and thought about it, "Lao Li, I can see it too, but so what?" Xiaodong has already given the money for the first trip, what are you worried about? Hearing Guo Yuanchuan's answer, Li Weiming looked at a small bag between the two, which contained 10,000 yuan in cash given by Li Zhendong early this morning. This is true. At that time, the two of them were shocked. Guo Yuanchuan smiled, "Lao Li, you love to ponder this, we take care of ourselves"
September '82. The great man of China received the British Prime Minister, Mrs. Décher. The two sides raised the issue of the return of the port area. At this time, Britain had just won the Falkland Islands War by defeating Argentina at the Battle of Falkland, and Lady Dézor was the commander. With the aftermath of the great victory, he proposed to China that sovereignty be exchanged for governing power. Regarding the proposal of the British side to exchange sovereignty and jurisdiction. China replied that sovereignty is an issue that cannot be discussed, and the port area must be taken back. After the resumption of the port area, policies suitable for the port area will be implemented, and the prosperity of the port area will continue to be maintained, and the current politics, economy, and most of the laws in the port area can be preserved, and the port area will still maintain the capitalist system. The two sides should properly resolve the issue of preventing major fluctuations in the Hong Kong area during the 15 years from '82 to '97. At this time, the idea of one country, two systems was put forward for the first time.
Minato Ward is an area with a tradition of emigration to overseas. Mainly concentrated in the United States, Canada, Australia, New West, the United Kingdom. Since the late 70s, there have been large numbers of immigrants to Australia. The special geographical location of the port area, for political instability, makes many people choose to immigrate.
Perhaps inattentive, or perhaps with something on her mind, Mrs. Détzor stumbled outside the Great Hall of the People. When the news reached the port area, the stock market also fell, and the port stock market fell sharply. By the end of the year, the Hang Seng Index fell to 676.30 points, a 62.64% decline from its high. The land price in the port area is like a dive far away, and it is poofed to the end. The saddest thing: no water in the pool. An industrial plot in Kowloon Bay fell from 150 million to 15 million. Only one-tenth of the price remains.
Minato's stock market is volatile. People's hearts are moving.
In an elegant teahouse, the teahouse that used to be crowded with people also seemed to be deserted. Five or six people sit in a corner of the teahouse against the wall, separated by carved screens. There is a lattice window next to it, and when you look out of the window, you can see the endless flow of people on the street.
A few people sat sullenly. The fragrant tea of the past seems to have lost its taste.
"Hitting the street" has a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a Tang costume scolding. Huang Deding shook his head and got up to add water to everyone. "Ah Guang, now that things are like this, what's the use of complaining?" The other, older man, sighed. The middle-aged Ah Guang in Tang costume smiled bitterly, "Uncle Cheng, if this continues, all the money I invested in the stock market will be gone, and the next time you see me again, I will really be completely naked" "It is impossible to clear all the light, unless you ······ it" I don't understand, the stock market crash that broke out last year, I suffered heavy losses, thinking about fighting the rivers and lakes again this year, who knows, hey, it seems that it is getting worse and worse every year" "The mainland does not agree to the British proposal, this place will be taken back sooner or later, and we just happened to crash into this time. "Looks like I can't stay in this place anymore" "Immigrants? Where to go? Let's be a companion. "This one also wants to find a friend to go with him.
Speaking of which, this group of people are all wealthy people with a lot of money, and they were still lamenting the loss of the stock market just now, and in the blink of an eye, they were discussing the issue of immigration. This immigrant has no money, do you dare to think?
Everyone was discussing the best place, and suddenly found that there was a person who didn't speak, just drank tea. "Ah Ding, where do you want to go?" Huang Deding put down the teacup in his hand, "I'm not going anywhere, it's here, this is my home" Speaking of which, Huang Deding's loss will not be smaller than that of those here, and the money he invested in the stock market should be the most. However, many things are like this, at first the heart hurts, and the fall is used to it.
"Ah Ding, you are not afraid that once the mainland hits, according to their policy, we will all be liquidated"
"Even if it is delayed a little bit, after 15 years, it will still be handed back to the mainland," everyone said one word at a time. Huang Deding smiled and shook his hand, "You guys, let you go to the mainland to have a look, you don't dare to go, say wait a while." I've been in the past too much, telling you, a lot of things are different from your thoughts, don't you think that the mainland has changed a lot in recent years? ”
Everyone was silent, and since the mainland's reform and opening up, everyone can feel this change. More and more people are going to the mainland to do business. When I came back, the treatment over there was very good, and some people said that they couldn't imagine it.
"Even if you emigrate, your industries are in the port area, how can it be so easy to regain a piece of the world among foreigners? We are natives of our hometown, and we have been familiar with the environment of the port area since we were children, not to mention, my ancestors are all in the mainland, and I go back to my hometown every year to worship the ancestors and sweep the tombs, I don't want to be complained by the ancestors underground" Huang Deding said the words, "You think about it again, for so many years, the port area is the largest area in the mainland to connect with the outside world, the port area is a free trade port, and the trade that comes and goes through the port area every year should account for the vast majority." The mainland needs the port area as a buffer zone. Besides, the port area is not big, it should be regarded as a small area, we have no raw material origin, industrial raw materials, fuel need to be imported, and ninety percent of the processed industrial products are for export, and now the big tree is backed by the mainland, to put it mildly, there will be more opportunities in the future. The raw materials in the port area have a source, the goods have a market, and we have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, so I don't know where you are going to find it? ”
"I'm afraid that their policies will change" Everyone has to admit that what Huang Deding said makes sense, but he still has his own concerns.
Huang Deding sneered, "The sky is falling, and the tall top is tall." This is an ugly sound, but everyone doesn't care, everyone is very rich, but compared with the top bosses in the port area, there is still a considerable distance.
The old man Uncle Cheng 'hmm' "Ah Ding has a point, let's take a look, isn't there still fifteen years?" When people leave their hometowns, I don't want to leave until I have to, and I want to live a few years with a handful of old bones. "Come to think of it, it's still far from the day of return.
One of them still made up his mind to pay attention to "I'm still an immigrant, Australia is good, the industry here can't be taken away, I can fly back every week to deal with it" This is the prototype of the trapeze, the home is in the field, and the company is managed in the port area.
Everyone chatted for a while, Huang Deding looked at his watch and stood up, "You guys talk slowly, I want to go over the mainland to have a look, a little brother is coming." ”
"Isn't it the kid you said last time, who knows tea very well?" Someone asked curiously. Huang Deding responded, "It's him, you don't believe it, so let's do it, this time I will find a way to invite him to the Hong Kong area, and when I meet, I will understand that I am definitely not lying." I can tell you, it doesn't add up to a finger."
