Chapter 18: The First Step of a Long March

After Liangkun won the license of the five mahjong parlors originally held by Guo Jinzhu, he gave one each to his mother Gu Jingqiang, Annie, Marydonna, and Luo Huiling.

Liangkun originally wanted to give Ling Yazhen a room, but Ling Yazhen said: "I don't know how to play mahjong, so I don't want to." ”

Liangkun wanted to transfer it to Fang Ting again, but Fang Ting didn't want it, but said: "It's so boring at home, I want to go out and do things." ”

Liang Kun said: "What will you do? After graduating from Form 5, although you are an intellectual in Hong Kong, you can also do some hard work. ”

Fang Ting said: "Didn't you start a film company? I can go and make movies! ”

Liangkun said: "Do you think the movie will be filmed? That's about acting. ”

Fang Ting said: "I can act, really." Those guests used to ......."

Speaking of this, Fang Ting realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Liangkun said: "It's okay, it's all over." You just don't play with me. I will tell Wang Jie to let you go to the company to act, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to, don't put the boss lady on the shelf in the company. ”

Fang Ting said gloomily: "I know, Sister Zhen is the boss lady." ”

Liangkun sighed and said: "I don't mean that, I mean to say that the company is a place to make money, and we open a company to seek wealth, not to seek anger." It's all about the good play! Do you understand? ”

Fang Ting said: "I understand. ”

Fang Ting's mood still didn't look very good, and Liang Kun promised out of the psychology of compensation: "I will write you a few scripts according to your image, try to see if you have the life to become popular." ”

With Fang Ting's non-existent acting skills, all Liangkun can think of are those pure vase movies, as long as they are good-looking, like "*****", "Girl Without Buttons" and the like.

……

Liang Kun has been a bit busy lately because of the major personnel changes that have taken place at the Huaxin Agency, the central government in Hong Kong.

Zuo Changwang handed a newspaper to Liang Kun and said: "In the past, the Hong Kong bureau chiefs of the China News Service were all Guangdong locals with a background in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the new leaders were all transferred from the mainland, spoke Mandarin, and their rank was unprecedented. ”

Liang Kun pointed to the name of Xu Jiacun, the new Hong Kong bureau chief of the China News Agency, in the newspaper, and said: "I wonder if our 'shadow governor of Hong Kong' can withstand the offensive of sugar-coated shells? ”

Zuo Changwang put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up, tilted his head, and recited an article: "We will soon win a national victory. This victory will break through the eastern front of imperialism and will be of great international significance. It will not take long to win this victory and not spend a lot of effort; It will take a long time and a lot of effort to consolidate this victory. The bourgeoisie doubts our ability to build. The imperialists reckon that we will have to beg from them to survive. Because of victory, the pride in the party, the mood of self-esteem as a hero, the mood of pause and not seeking progress, and the mood of greedy for pleasure and unwilling to live a hard life may grow. Because of the victory, the people thank us, and the bourgeoisie will come out to cheer. It has been proven that the enemy's force cannot conquer us. The bourgeoisie may conquer the weak-willed in our ranks. There may be Communists who have never been conquered by enemies with guns, and who deserve the title of heroes before these enemies; But they can't stand the attack of sugar-coated shells, and they have to lose the battle in front of sugar bombs. We must prevent this. Winning the national victory is only the first step in the long march of 10,000 miles. If this step is also worth being proud of, it is relatively small, and even more proud is yet to come. ”

After Zuo Changwang finished reciting, he sat back in his chair, and Liangkun continued: "The great leader said: We must make comrades continue to maintain a modest, cautious, not arrogant, and not rash style, and we must make comrades continue to maintain a style of hard struggle. If our comrades can't do both, then all we can do is send them to the Great Leader. ”

Zuo Changwang frowned and said: "We are violating organizational discipline by doing this. ”

Liangkun said: "We are not the eagle dogs of the highest power, we are independent, we do not serve the will of individuals, we are fighting for our ideals." ”

Zuo Changwang said: "However, the method of physical destruction has never been used again since Gu Shunzhang. ”

Liangkun said: "In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means. Our enemies are formidable, and they have deep experience, centuries of experience, in oppressing people, sowing discord, buying scum, and all other evils. Do you know Comrade Dzerzhinsky? ”

Zuo Changwang said: "That Cheka father? ”

"What we have to do is to practice Comrade Dzerzhinsky's famous words: sniff out and eradicate traitors!" ”

387 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island.

Xu Zhengyang is going through the reporting procedures.

A staff member who looked like a leading cadre said to Xu Zhengyang: "Comrade Xu Zhengyang, most of the intelligence cadres stationed in Hong Kong in China are arranged in the security department of the Hong Kong branch of the China News Service. You're also scheduled to work here for the time being. ”

Xu Zhengyang asked puzzledly: "How is the central government's dispatch agency in Hong Kong the China News Agency?" ”

The staff explained: "When the Hong Kong branch of Huaxin News Service was first established, it was indeed a news organization. Speaking of which, it was founded earlier than the People's Republic of China, and it was on May 1, 1947, when it was registered with the British authorities in Hong Kong under the name of a news and communication organization, and officially issued a press release to the outside world. Subsequently, with the development of the national situation and the changes in the central government's leadership system for Hong Kong's work, the subordination of the Hong Kong branch was also adjusted several times, and its functions gradually changed. ”

Xu Zhengyang asked, "How did it change?" ”

The staff member said: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in view of the fact that our government did not have an official representative office in Hong Kong, whenever there was a need to contact or negotiate with the British authorities in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong branch was authorized to handle it. Since the 60s of the 20th century, the British authorities in Hong Kong have been responsible for the day-to-day liaison with the Hong Kong branch under the political adviser to the Governor. ”

Xu Zhengyang asked, "Haven't we thought about changing this situation?" ”

The staff member said: "The central government had planned to send an official representative office in Hong Kong, and also cited the precedent of the then Kuomintang government having a special commissioner in Hong Kong before the founding of New China, and formally put forward this proposal to the British side on more than one occasion. However, the British replied that they did not think it was time to make a change in the structure of our representation in Hong Kong. Since the British side does not agree to the establishment of an official representative office in Hong Kong by the Chinese Government, we cannot but continue to be responsible for the Hong Kong branch in Hong Kong to liaise and negotiate with the British authorities in Hong Kong. ”

Xu Zhengyang asked: "Are we going to let the British bully like this?" ”

The staff said, "Not really. Subsequently, there were some noticeable changes in the practice of the British authorities in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Branch. In 1978, Hong Kong Governor MacLeho attended the National Day reception of the People's Republic of China for the first time organized by the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency. Since then, it has been a practice for successive Governors to attend every year. This is a tacit acquiescence on the British side's acquiescence to the fact that the Hong Kong branch of the Xinhua News Agency is the de facto representative body sent by the Chinese government. ”

Xu Zhengyang asked: "Who is doing the real journalistic work of Huaxin Agency?" ”

The staff member said: "The work department that is really engaged in the news and communications business is a relatively independent subsidiary unit under the Hong Kong branch, which is called the 'Editorial Office of the Hong Kong Branch of the China News Agency', which is not far from Xinhua Building, No. 5 Lai West Street, Wan Chai, and it is under the leadership of the national news agency China News Agency. ”
