Chapter 1133: Successive Disappointments
Early in the morning, Lin Qingya entered a relatively busy and tense state.
Today is not a small day, the entire police system has taken action, especially in various districts, a certain number of people have been arranged, that is, they are worried that after the treasure is opened, some people will be dissatisfied with the results, and then run to the streets to vent trouble.
In the past, when Lin Qingya was just entering the industry, her father told her that if you want to be a good police officer, you must have a certain foresight, especially before some problems break out, and think of solutions.
Now she has become one of the few powerful figures in the entire Hong Kong Island police system, and she is also temporarily responsible for the temporary head of the entire police system, so Lin Qingya is very attentive to the affairs of the entire Hong Kong Island.
Especially today, the treasure left by the British is about to be opened, and it is hard to say what will be taken out of it, just in case, she has ordered the police in all districts to take action to eliminate all hidden dangers.
"Director, the security work is in place, and we have done a more detailed inspection of the reporters to ensure that everyone's identity is true and valid." A senior superintendent of police reported to Lam Ching-nga on the progress of the work.
"Well, pay attention to your surroundings and close the isolation door as soon as you notice something uncontrollable." Lin Qingya nodded and replied.
Today's mission is mainly to do security work for the opening of the treasure.
As soon as it was nine o'clock, the experts would begin to open the large tin bucket that had been sealed underground for 70 years in an oxygen-free environment under the watchful eyes of four cameras.
As for what is hidden inside, it will also be revealed in the eyes of millions of Hong Kong Island people.
At nine o'clock, the cultural relics experts officially began to open the large tin buckets dug out by the Government House, they put on special clothes, and gave the large tin buckets to the oxygen-free environment of the transportation channel, and then slowly opened these large tin buckets through the mechanical arm of the outside world.
This is the most worrying time.
Even Lin Qingya, who was on a mission, couldn't help but look at the TV screen twice.
After all, everyone is very concerned about what can be found in this, and the significance of this live broadcast is also this, what did the British leave for Hong Kong Island?
At this time, Lin Xiao and others were also sitting in the hotel and were paying attention to this matter.
However, Concubine Han and Han Qi were really watching TV, while Lin Xiao and Han Ya were arranging some other things, and their attention was not on the TV screen.
"All the things you arranged?" Lin Xiao asked Han Yadao.
"Well, it's been arranged, and the advertorials you said have also been dealt with by the gunman." Han Ya nodded in affirmation, "This time, the British were shot even if they were lying down, and they were not lightly cheated by you." ”
"It's nothing, anyway, they didn't play a good role in this student trouble, although they are not as good as the Americans, but they are definitely not clean." Lin Xiao said, "It's not too much to let them put a basin on their heads." ”
"Well, the timing should be more appropriate." Han Ya nodded in agreement, "These advertorials are not appropriate to appear too early or too late, so we still have to pay attention to the changes in the situation before we can make a decision." ”
"Don't worry, this time it's absolutely foolproof." Lin Xiao shook Han Ya's hand and said.
In fact, Lin Xiao has naturally been more disgusted with Americans recently, and he also has no good impression of the British.
Recently, the student occupation movement on Hong Kong Island has been weakening, and some localist demonstrators are dissatisfied with the direction of the movement, and want to launch a petition campaign of 500 people outside the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong, threatening to escalate the action and bring the Hong Kong Island issue to the international stage to obtain external support to put pressure on the central government and the Hong Kong SAR government.
According to their plan, the letter was first delivered to the British Consulate, and then by the people on the spot. From the speech, the yellow umbrella will be held up in the evening, and the theme song will be played, and finally the left-behind occupation activities will be launched at the scene.
However, during their interviews, some people present at the scene were the first to spread out yellow umbrellas, shout slogans and wave Hong Kong British flags on the other side, some brought their own loudspeakers to make speeches, and even people with different demands also launched petition activities on their own.
However, the student, who threatened to put the Hong Kong Island issue on the international stage, did not know what to do after the foreign media reporters asked questions in English, and had to be translated into Chinese by other reporters.
The British Consulate-General in Hong Kong sent a representative to receive petitions from the protesters, but refused to allow the demonstrators to remain outside the consulate.
Police also deployed additional police presence at night and erected a wall between the demonstrators and the British Consulate, and a fence was set up in front of the Consulate to keep the protesters out.
The British Consulate General in Hong Kong said it would not comment on the incident.
Although the British did not express their attitude, they have always had the intention of returning to Hong Kong Island in their performance on Hong Kong Island, but this idea is simply unrealistic.
After all, the current situation is obvious, China's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and even the Americans have temporarily retreated, showing a weak stance on the East China Sea and the South China Sea.
Of course, the most important point is that Hong Kong Island's international status has begun to gradually decline, and after losing the support of China's largest market, Hong Kong Island can no longer find a more favorable economic growth point except for tourism.
Although many residents of Hong Kong Island believe that the opening of Hong Kong Island to the mainland has affected their quality of life, it is undeniable that the deepening of the relationship between Hong Kong Island and the mainland is also crucial to the development of Hong Kong Island.
A previous study by the Hong Kong Island Monetary Authority has also shown that Hong Kong Island is far behind many traditional financial centers in terms of many traditional indicators, especially the depth of foreign exchange and bond markets, but relying on a larger economic matrix is a key factor in upgrading its international financial center.
If the mainland's capital account is open to the same level and the development of its financial market is as high as that of the United States, Hong Kong Island's exports to the mainland through the financial industry will increase several times compared with the current level.
In fact, two years after this study was made, the offshore market of Huaxia Coin was opened on Hong Kong Island, and in a few years, it developed rapidly, making a huge contribution to the competitiveness of Hong Kong Island's financial market.
There is no doubt that Hong Kong Island's status as an international financial center needs to rely on the mainland's economic development, but if a democratically elected Hong Kong Island government constantly challenges the bottom line of the central government and fails to reach a harmonious political ecology with the mainland, its position as an international financial center will also be seriously weakened in the future.
In this process, as the most critical competitor of Hong Kong Island, Pearl will be the biggest winner.
Looking at the history of the two cities, there is a history of nirvana from a small fishing village to a colony and an international financial center, but more importantly, the development and decline of the two cities have not left the influence of China's economy and politics, and it is precisely because of the rapid economic growth and political stability of China in the first three decades that the two cities have burst into strength.
From the perspective of overseas investors, Hong Kong Island and Pearl have their own advantages, but there is a clear consensus that Hong Kong Island's comparative advantage is gradually being lost, and Pearl is catching up.
From the current point of view, the total economic volume of the Pearl has exceeded that of Hong Kong Island, and the average annual economic development rate of the Pearl is almost twice that of Hong Kong Island, so the catch-up effect will be very obvious.
Even though Hong Kong Island is proud of its financial industry, the Pearl is rapidly approaching Hong Kong Island.
The gap between Pearl and Hong Kong Island is reflected in many other aspects, such as the depth of the capital market, the activity of the stock market, the ability to raise funds and derivatives trading, and the foreign exchange market, the trading volume of Hong Kong Island is also several times higher than that of Pearl.
The biggest advantage of Hong Kong Island is still in the relatively transparent and mature legal system, which is the most unique advantage of Hong Kong Island for overseas investors, but Pearl has also seen this problem and has begun to gradually shorten the distance between Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong Island through the construction and promotion of the Pearl Free Trade Zone.
In fact, this is exactly what Hong Kong Island needs to worry about, if Pearl is more familiar with the international financial environment and operations and in line with international standards, then Hong Kong Island's comparative advantage will gradually disappear.
Due to the continuous friction between Hong Kong Island and the central government, the advantages of its original judicial system will inevitably disappear, and once the identity of Huaxia commercial agent disappears, then the development of Hong Kong Island will face inevitable decline in the future.
All in all, it can be seen that the decline in the development of Hong Kong Island is unstoppable.
"Ah......h
At this time, there was a burst of exclamations on the TV.
When Lin Xiao and Han Ya looked over, they saw that the experts had already opened the first large tin bucket, which was empty, there was nothing, just some traces of water flowed out.
This result made the audience feel disappointed, but they were not very anxious, after all, in addition, there are dozens of large tin buckets that have not been opened, perhaps, the surprise is hidden in the next big tin bucket.
"It's time to consider starting the first step." After Lin Xiao saw this scene, he said to Han Ya.
"Hmm." Han Ya nodded, and then issued a few orders through her mobile phone.
Although the second big tin bucket has not yet been opened, the outcome of this time has long been doomed, and in the disappointed eyes of countless Hong Kong Island people, what has been lost is the last bit of goodwill towards the British.
I believe that after this incident, the position of the British on Hong Kong Island will become very embarrassing, which is the final effect that Lin Xiao needs to achieve, otherwise, there is no need for him to make so many things.
Sure enough, the second big tin bucket, the third big tin bucket, and ten large tin buckets in a row were all empty, and only some traces of water flowed out.
The atmosphere in front of the entire TV screen has fallen into a very low state, and the mood of Hong Kong Island people has also reached the forefront of the outbreak.
The hands of several experts who manipulated the mechanical arm were a little trembling, and they were a little worried, if these big tin buckets were empty, what kind of reaction would erupt in the market today?
It's hard to say.
