"Jianwu is getting married? When? Gu Chen took the soup handed over by Shi Yayun and asked casually while taking a sip.

"I heard my mother say that on New Year's Day, Mom, Xiaoxi and grandparents seem to be going back, she asked me to ask if you have time?" After Shi Yayun finished speaking, Shi Yali continued: "Mom asked us to go back if we didn't have anything important, but I think this should be what grandpa meant." ”

"Grandpa has always had a feeling of guilt for the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and now that the second uncle's son is getting married, of course he hopes that our whole family will go to congratulate." Gu Chen paused: "But I may not be able to go back on New Year's Day, I should be in Japan at that time, there is an important matter to deal with, you can go back with your mother and them, go back and take a look, you can also stop by other places to travel and relax." By the way, why is Jianwu suddenly getting married, I heard not long ago that he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet. ”

"It's not because of you, I heard my mother say that Jianwu and his girlfriend have just been dating for two months, and you suddenly asked Jianwu to study in the United States, and the two of them decided to get married first after discussing it, why did you let Jianwu go to West Point to study in the United States, making it so mysterious."

Gu Chen glanced at the lovely wrinkled Shi Yali, and said with a smile: "I can't say this yet, you will naturally know about it in the future." When you go back, bring more useful things back, now the mainland is still relatively scarce materials, and it is difficult to buy good things even if you have money. ”

Shi Yayun's personality is relatively gentle and introverted, while Shi Yali's personality is more lively and outgoing, so relatively speaking, she will have more of her own thoughts, emotionally speaking. She didn't really want to go to the mainland, after all, everyone didn't know each other, so she really didn't have much energy. But Gu Chen said so, she naturally had no way to object, fortunately she didn't go back by herself, otherwise she would not have to die of boredom. The three of them continued to eat, and after a while, she remembered something, so she asked, "It's been circulating in the company recently." said that after the New Year, the drama production department, the screenwriting department and the artist department will be independent from the TV station and set up a separate film and television production company. Is there really such a thing? ”

"I didn't expect it to spread, there is such a thing, and the board of directors has already passed it. At present, the organization and management of television stations are too bloated, which is not conducive to management. The efficiency of film and television dramas is also very low. It doesn't matter if the filming is good or not, except for the key dramas every year, the others are shoddy. Later, a separate film and television production company was established, and the quality of the TV drama production was directly related to the company's performance, which in turn was related to everyone's income. In this way, up to the managers and down to the ordinary employees will naturally be more attentive. ”

"In addition, after the theater department, the screenwriting department, and the artist department left. It allows TV stations to concentrate more resources on current affairs news, finance and variety shows, which is conducive to the development of TV stations. At the same time, it is also conducive to establishing the brand image of the TV station. ”

"Now ATV's main task is to exaggerate the overseas market, an authoritative brand image is very important, I plan to use three years to build ATV into one of the world's largest and most authoritative current affairs news TV stations. So reform is a must. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Chen stopped, looked up at Shi Yali, and then continued meaningfully: "In this world, the eternal source of public opinion is the most powerful weapon, whoever masters public opinion will have the initiative, and it is better than the United States to rely on the tool of public opinion." ”

Shi Yali is the deputy director of ATV Information Channel, and she is engaged in journalism, how could she not understand what Gu Chen meant, but she glanced at Gu Chen and said: "This is your man's business, I just want to live a simple life, but I don't have time to think about this." ”

Gu Chen smiled and said dotingly: "Okay, don't talk about this, let's eat, then, this is your favorite food." As he spoke, he sandwiched a drunken shrimp and put it in Shi Yali's bowl, and then sandwiched a piece of curry crab and put it in Shi Yayun's bowl, he had never been in the habit of favoring one over the other.

After dinner, Gu Chen sat on the sofa watching TV, and habitually tuned to the ATV information station, this time was news time, and soon he was attracted by a piece of news: "British Foreign Secretary Srps? Honey visited Beijing, China, today, and was greeted at the airport by Chinese Foreign Minister Patrick Chin, the first senior Western official to visit China since the political events in the first half of the year......

Gu Chen didn't expect Thatcher to move so quickly, he had only returned to Hong Kong for more than half a month, and he had already officially sent the foreign secretary to Beijing for consultations, and since Sparks was able to visit China, it proved that the Chinese government did not reject the British side's proposal, at least not comprehensively, and then it was up to the British government to persuade the Chinese government, which was undoubtedly good news for Gu Chen.

……

Just when Gu Chen was watching the news, in Beijing, thousands of miles away from Hong Kong, three old people were sitting in an office in Zhongnanhai, one was Zheng Lao, who had gradually retired from his leading post, one was Ye Peisheng, and the other was General Secretary Jiang, the new supreme leader of the country. After a period of silence, I heard Zheng Lao let out a heavy sigh: "I originally thought that the establishment of an internal guard force in Hong Kong was a new trick that the British government came up with because it was unwilling to give up Hong Kong like this, but now I see that this is not the case. ”

"Since the turmoil in May, more and more Hong Kong elites have emigrated to Canada and other Western countries, and most ordinary citizens are afraid of the handover in '97. But now it seems that even Hong Kong's top tycoons have become suspicious of the central government, and if this continues, it will not be conducive to Hong Kong's peaceful return and long-term stability after the handover. ”

Ye Peisheng also sighed: "Who says no, if you can't stabilize the top richest people in Hong Kong, how can you stabilize the seven million citizens of Hong Kong." Now Gu Chen, Li Jiacheng, Fok Yingdong, Li Zhaoji and Ho Hongsen are obviously together, not to mention Gu Chen, Li Jiacheng is also the top richest man in Hong Kong, and each of them has extensive influence. It's really hard to do. ”

"Now that they have taken this step, it may not be easy for them to give up, the key is that the British government is happy to see this matter succeed, and the appearance of such a force in Hong Kong, which did not exist in the first place, undoubtedly gives the British government a chance to fish in troubled waters."

General Secretary Jiang hesitated and said: "I think the key to this matter is still on Gu Chen, he went to England some time ago, and met with Margaret Thatcher twice at No. 10 Downing Street, and this matter should have been discussed at that time." Now we can't be sure whether Gu Chen did this simply because he was worried about Hong Kong's return to China, or if he had reached some secret agreement with Margaret Thatcher. ”

"This is exactly what I am worried about, Gu Chen's influence in Hong Kong and internationally is increasing day by day, if he completely falls to the UK, it will be extremely unfavorable to us, even if Hong Kong returns smoothly in the future, it will be difficult for the central government to control the situation in Hong Kong."

After a pause, Ye Peisheng continued: "In addition, now that Li Jiacheng, Huo Yingdong and others have close business contacts with Gu Chen, coupled with Gu Chen's strong economic status, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to stand on the opposite side of Gu Chen. However, Fok Yingdong has always had a good relationship with our party, and perhaps we can learn some information through him, and finally be able to figure out the ins and outs of this matter. ”

General Secretary Jiang nodded and said: "This is feasible, but if they insist on setting up an internal guard force in Hong Kong, then how should we deal with it?" ”

Saying that, he set his sights on Zheng Lao, although he is already the de facto supreme leader of the country, but whether it is prestige or experience in dealing with international affairs, he is far inferior to Zheng Lao, not to mention that he is the designated successor of Zheng Lao, because he still has to listen to Zheng Lao's opinions on some major matters. Of course, this kind of obedience is not mandatory, but more of a kind of respect and trust for Zheng Lao.

After being silent for a while, Zheng Lao finally said in a low tone: "This matter is very important, let me think about it, Xiao Jiang, you will explain the situation to the Standing Committee members of the Political Bureau tomorrow, and see what the attitude of the Standing Committee is." Lao Ye, you will immediately ask the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency to contact Huo Yingdong and ask him what is going on, and if possible, invite Huo Yingdong to come to Beijing in the near future, and I will talk to him personally. In addition, Srps should not let up for the time being, and should make clear our firm position and not allow any unfavorable factors that hinder Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. Wait for the news from Hong Kong to come back and make further plans. ”

When the other two heard this, they all sighed in their hearts, and now there is only this to do, but both of them are not very optimistic about the situation, as Ye Peisheng said just now, Gu Chen and the other five top richest people in Hong Kong have joined together to provoke such a thing, which is obviously deliberate, and it is definitely impossible for them to give up lightly. And if they give up, who can guarantee that the central government will not settle accounts after the fall? Perhaps even Ye Peisheng and General Secretary Jiang themselves did not dare to guarantee it.

The three of them chatted a few more words, Ye Peisheng and General Secretary Jiang left the office, Zheng Lao sat on the sofa alone, smoking a cigarette, while thinking about things with his eyes intently, since the signing of the "Sino-British Joint Declaration", he knew that the Hong Kong issue was far from being a final conclusion, and the British government or some domestic forces unwilling to give up Hong Kong would definitely provoke all kinds of problems and disputes.

However, he was confident that he could solve anything, but this time it was a bit tricky. Because its cause is within Hong Kong. (To be continued......)
