Huo Yingdong then said: "Do you really think that the central government will invest heavily in the development of Shanghai-Haipu East? Why are the four special economic zones of Xiamen, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou? Moreover, according to the information I have received, the central government will designate Hainandao as a special economic zone next year. ”

Gu Chen took a sip of coffee, felt that the taste was okay, and then said: "I think Huo Lao should know better than me about all the historical, geographical, economic and political advantages that Shanghai and Hai have, so why pretend not to know." Whether it is for political considerations, or to drive the economy of the entire Yangtze River Delta, and even to communicate with the inland provinces, the mainland government will vigorously develop Shanghai, which is only a matter of time, and according to my estimates, this time should be in the next two or three years, maybe now the plan has been put on the agenda. ”

Fok Yingdong naturally knows that Shanghai has an absolute advantage over other cities, but although he has a close relationship with the mainland, in fact, he, like many Hong Kong people, has a strong interest in the mainland. There were still doubts about whether the policy of opening up to the outside world could be carried out to the end, so he did not invest on a large scale in the mainland, and most of his investment was concentrated in Guangdong-Dong Province. Of course, compared to other Hong Kong tycoons, his investment is already large.

According to Gu Chen's plan, the scale of investment will be very large, so he has to consider it carefully.

Huo Yingdong needs to think about Gu Chen and doesn't say more, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, the two chatted again, and Huo Yingdong suddenly remembered something: "The second phase of the refinery of the Singapore Petroleum Company has been completed the day before yesterday, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at that time." ”

Gu Chen is only the chairman of the board of directors of PetroSingapore, and is not responsible for specific affairs, but only participates in the decision-making of some major matters that need to be submitted to the board of directors, while Fok Yingdong is the executive vice chairman of the company and participates in the daily management of the company.

"Singapore is located at the heart of the Straits of Malacca. It is one of the busiest waterways in the world, and with the rapid development of industrialization in developing countries, the demand for petroleum products will be increasing, so the development of oil refining industry in Singapore is a very good choice. ”

……

When Ye Peisheng invited Gu Chen to inspect the science and technology park in the suburbs of Beijing, Gu Chen knew that Ye Peisheng was inviting himself to join the delegation in disguise, and he also agreed at that time, so he also participated in the afternoon visit. Although he has already visited the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.

The tour is accompanied by a professional tour guide, who will introduce the history, allusions and stories of the place in great detail. Therefore, after visiting the group, Gu Chen felt that this was the mainland instilling Chinese history and culture to the members of the delegation, after all, although the delegation was all orthodox Chinese, some of them were born and raised in Hong Kong. Having lived under the rule of the British colonial authorities since childhood, I did not necessarily know much about Chinese culture. At least he saw that a few members of the expedition were listening with relish.

After the tour. Li Kangle, director of the Hong Kong AO Office, hosted a banquet at the Beijing-Beijing Hotel to entertain the delegation, thinking that he had promised to have dinner with the crew of "Joking about Qianlong", Gu Chen left the meeting under the pretext of returning to the Beijing-Beijing Hotel, and instructed Ouyang Lan to let Zhao Yazhi preside over tonight's dinner.

In fact, he was not interested in banquets of this nature, but he knew that Chinese mainland would be a vast market in the future, and if he wanted to make a difference in the mainland. Getting along with the government can save him a lot of trouble, so there are some things he still needs to deal with. However, it is only limited to good relations, and some future plans prevent him from being too close to the mainland, at least on the surface.

When the banquet is over, come to the place where the crew has dinner. Gu Chen just saw the box door open, and the crew rushed out from inside, and Zhao Yazhi was in the first place, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I can't leave at all on that kind of occasion as you know the way." ”

Zhao Yazhi heard Ouyang Lan say the reason why Gu Chen was not available, so naturally he would not blame Gu Chen for suddenly releasing pigeons, and said jokingly: "Zhilu said that you are busy, in fact, you are not in everyone, but you eat more freely, and I ordered the most expensive dish, don't feel distressed when you check out." ”

This conversation is just a conversation between friends, but Gu Chen has long been famous, and the core members of the crew are really imaginary when they hear it, and they have the heart to stay and see if there is any more exciting gossip, but they don't dare to stay for a long time, so they have to leave one after another.

Zhao Yazhi didn't see those weird expressions because he turned his back to everyone, Gu Chen saw it, but he directly ignored it, and said with a smile at Zhao Yazhi: "Could it be that in your eyes, I am really that kind of stingy person?" I can't eat enough for one meal. ”

At this time, the crew was gone, leaving only Zhao Yazhi's female assistant waiting at the elevator not far away, Gu Chen looked at his watch and said, "It's still early, do you want to go up and sit down." He felt that Zhao Yazhi should not refuse, but he didn't expect Zhao Yazhi to be more cautious than he imagined, or rather his duty, hesitated, and said: "No, I'm a little tired after a day of filming today, and I want to go back early to rest." ”

Looking at Zhao Yazhi's back as he gradually walked away, this time Gu Chen frowned slightly...... The next morning, Gu Chen followed the delegation to the People's Congress. Synagogue, walk into the national reception hall in the center of the first floor, only to see that the reception hall covers an area of hundreds of square meters, which is completely in the traditional design style, and the top shape is a chessboard-type caisson with gold paste, and 4 palace lamp-type crystal chandeliers are hung. The surrounding walls are decorated with brocade upholstery, and on the innermost main wall is a huge Chinese painting "Up and Down the River?" that symbolizes the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization. Hao Hao Changchun".

According to Huang Zhengqi, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Ban Liaison Department, who picked them up at the hotel in the morning, this national reception hall is the place where state leaders receive VIPs and top state leaders accept the credentials presented by new foreign envoys to China.

At 10 o'clock sharp, the supreme leader, Zheng Lao, walked slowly into the hall under the lens and magnesium lights of CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and other official media, and shook hands with the members of the delegation lined up one by one. When it was Gu Chen's turn, Zheng Lao's footsteps stayed for a longer time, and he said with a smile: "Hello Comrade Gu, you are good, the country needs talents like you." ”

This old man is not only in China, but also in the world, he is also a great man with a high reputation, seeing that he is so kind to himself, Rao is Gu Chen has a super cheat, and there is a natural sense of superiority in his heart, and he is still a little flattered, but he controls his emotions very well, with a signature smile on his face, and says: "Old Zheng, you have praised you, you are a role model for our young people to learn." ”

Seeing that Gu Chen's face did not change, his speech was neither humble nor arrogant, and his performance was more sophisticated and calm than some other rich people, the smile on Zheng Lao's face was even better, and he joked: "I said that you are a talent, you say that I am complimenting you; Now that you say I'm a role model, should I say that you are complimenting me or praising me. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Chen to answer, he walked to the next one with a smile. At this moment, Gu Chen finally understood a little bit why this old man who did not look tall could be unanimously praised by the world, even if he had always been interested in politics. The Western media, which does not cure colds, is no exception.

This kind of attitude alone is by no means comparable to ordinary people......

The reception lasted for an hour, and at noon it was still at the People's Congress. The state-guest banquet hall on the west side of the hall had lunch with the delegation, and unlike yesterday, today's luncheon was open, with reporters from CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, and People's Daily taking pictures in the banquet hall.

However, it was not the whole process, Li Kangle, director of the Hong Kong and Macao BAN, and Huo Yingdong, the head of the delegation, took the stage to speak respectively, and soon after the banquet officially began, all the reporters were invited out of the banquet hall.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zheng Lao suddenly said to Gu Chen: "I heard that there is a crew of Hong Kong Asia Television that is filming in the Forbidden City, and a considerable number of people in the crew are from various universities and film studios in the mainland. ”

"Elder Zheng is right, the blood of compatriots on both sides of the strait is thicker than water, and exchanges between the two sides have been hindered in the past due to some reasons, but now Hong Kong will return to China in 10 years, and for the sake of Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, it is very necessary to take some measures to enable the two sides of the strait to have a clearer understanding of each other."

"I have the idea that maybe Asia Television and CCTV can work together to produce a TV series that showcases Chinese culture, so that Hong Kong people can have a more intuitive and clear understanding of Chinese culture." Gu Chen even thought about filming that TV series, which was the classic historical drama "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". He had already talked to Qiu Dexiang on the phone last night about this idea, and Qiu Dexiang had no opinion in principle.

And the reason why he chose "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" is that "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" can better reflect the history and culture of the Han people, but also has a deeper idea.

Zheng Lao nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I will order it later, so that CCTV and relevant departments can fully cooperate with ATV's work." ”

This is Gu Chen's overture to the mainland, it will be beneficial to the mainland and will not do any harm, Zheng Lao has no reason not to agree, and he is also very wise to hand over the leading power to ATV. (To be continued......)
