Chapter 553: The Distress of the British
Lawrence was born in the British aristocracy, although it is not big, but it is not small, his ancestor was an earl, and now he has a decent land in England, and as an Englishman, Lawrence is quite obsessed with the glory of the British Empire.
At this moment, he is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking at the towering building in the distance, the appearance is very strange, and it is eye-catching enough, and even many people in Hong Kong feel that the building represents a person, a miracle, and a business legend belonging to the Chinese.
In the past, Lawrence didn't believe in many legends, he didn't believe in the so-called commercial miracles at all, because people in his position understood that the so-called legends and miracles were just that this person had an invisible hand behind his back, and he was pushing the so-called legends forward.
It's just that ordinary people are closed to the news, or the most authentic information of the whole society is not open to them.
He now held his arm in one hand and his chin in the other, and his gaze shifted from the building in the distance to the crowd on the road now.
He also noticed the crowd marching, which made him feel very disgusted, and he hated all those who opposed the British Empire, thinking that if they had been left a hundred years earlier, they would have been hanged and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
But he also understood that this could not be, just like when he came here, the elders of the family said that the port city was different from all the British colonies.
What's the difference?
Because the port city is not like those countries in Africa, no matter which colony, her sovereign state is weak and disgusting.
The port city is different, she has a very strong mother, this mother is recovering her strength day by day, let alone recovering her strength, even now, the mother in the north of the port city is not something that Great Britain can compete with at this time.
Her power had been taught by the nobles of London more than a decade ago.
I originally thought that the port market was a burden, and I thought that I would simply throw it back to the Chinese.
But now that the port city is getting better and better, those London aristocrats are starting to be reluctant to come here again.
The London aristocracy is like this, many times they have schizophrenia, and no one knows what kind of words these fools will say and what kind of mistakes they will make.
Lawrence thinks that the current situation is like this, and there is cultural separation on the side of the port city?
Chinese are not stupid, how can they not see it?
And how can you not play cards?
I thought that I could find some so-called literati to jump out and sing and mention it, but those people are really a big dung!
He doesn't like it, he doesn't like everything here, and he doesn't like the owner here!
Yah~~!
With a slight sound, Lawrence knew that the door was open, and when he turned his head, a smile changed to a smile on his face, and his hands naturally hung down at his side, showing the etiquette of an English nobleman.
"Mr. Lawrence!"
Gu Siwei stood at the door, stretched out his hand to Lawrence from a distance, and shouted as if the two had been friends for many years.
"Mr. Sue!"
Lawrence speaks standard Chinese, authentic Mandarin, very clear, if it weren't for Gu Siwei seeing that this goods was a yellow hair, he would have thought that the alley skewers of the old capital had come to Hong Kong City.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of guys in Hong Kong City now, but they can't play with Gu Siwei, these people often get together, and they are not a stream in Hong Kong City, just a group of people drinking tea and bragging together, fantasizing about the glory of the Qing Empire, and reminiscing about the hardcore crops of their ancestors.
These goods, Gu Siwei doesn't want to see, not only don't you want to see, who dares to make this mess in front of him, Gu Siwei won't get him a bloody gourd, then he will be out of the way.
"Mr. Lawrence's Chinese is really good, to be honest, your Chinese is more standard than mine, and I sometimes speak with a bit of a hometown accent......"
Gu Siwei is pure nonsense, his Mandarin doesn't have his hometown dialect at all, not at all.
But Lawrence didn't know, he didn't care, and now he cared about how to solve today's matter satisfactorily.
"My Chinese teacher is from the capital...... Lawrence smiled and introduced the teacher he Chinese learned.
Gu Siwei naturally could not have heard of it, and the Chinese teacher in Lawrence's mouth was very famous and could be regarded as a big name in the literary circle.
Real literature, like "Ordinary World", "White Deer Plain" and "Alive", Lao Gu will be sleepy as soon as he holds it in his hand, and his eyelids will fight.
For Lao Gu, this thing is not as attractive as the introduction of machine principles.
Of course, if you change to a color adaptation, what Sun Shao'an passed the door of Widow Liu three times, Bai Jiaxuan attacked the black baby daughter-in-law at night, etc., he may be able to keep his hands on it.
For the so-called literati, Gu Siwei used to think that he was quite noble, but now his social status, and looking at the literati, he knows that these people are actually the same as ordinary people, and even more shameless than ordinary people.
Seeing their most real life and character, I naturally lost my sense of admiration for their mountains, that is, I saw a living person, but the writing was better, and the pen was just a little more ordinary people.
In short, Lawrence's idea of opening up the conversation with his Chinese teacher was over.
However, Lawrence didn't wait long, because Gu Siwei directly mentioned the matter, and Gu Siwei's opening words were very simple.
"It's really noisy outside!"
These are the words of Gu Siwei.
Is it noisy?
It's a commotion, but it's only when you hear it here, and Lawrence doesn't hear it anyway.
"Yes, many people listen to the wind and rain," Lawrence climbed up after Gu Siwei's words.
Gu Siwei said with a smile: "This word is used well, listening to the wind is rain, chasing the wind and catching shadows, these people are like this, as soon as they are a little troubled, they feel that others are going to be like this."
Lawrence smiled and nodded: "Yes, in fact, the government does not have such an idea, but a group of people put it forward, many scholars think that Cantonese is the language closest to the ancient Chinese, and most people also speak Cantonese, so I thought that in the future, Cantonese will be the mainstay, and now I haven't discussed this issue, so I was poked out ......."
Gu Siwei listened with a smile and nodded while listening, he looked at Lawrence and thought in his heart: This son of a bitch, now I can't tell how to scold myself in my heart!
And at this moment, Lawrence also looked at the smiling Gu Siwei, thinking about the same question in his heart: this yellow-skinned pig laughed like this, and he must be scolding himself in his heart!
In a sense, it can be regarded as a bear cherishment.
As for Lawrence's statement, Gu Siwei didn't even believe it, he was not a person of this era, and he didn't know how big a thing happened in the port market at the end of his era?
The British have more than one trick on their side, in addition to changing the official language to Cantonese, there is also a more ruthless trick, that is, mixing sand, immigrating from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, and even India.
As for how to deal with this kind of person, Gu Siwei naturally has a trick here, which is nothing more than crowding out and suppressing, as for the British, if they are willing to raise it, the British will raise it themselves, anyway, his company, or the company with which Marvel does business, is not allowed to use these people.
Of course, you can't put it on the table, put it on the table, isn't that stupid, you can't say this thing, but you can do it secretly.
There is also the fact that Zhao Sanle's things in his hands are not to be seen, he has to play a little role, he has to set up a personal setting for these people, such as coolies or something, in short, he must make the masses despise him from the bottom of his heart, just like the British fan, and the girl who came from the north is called Beigu,
Some people in Hong Kong are very divided, and they are friendly to South Asians, and they are one Beigu and one mainland boy to their compatriots.
There is no British fueling this!
Neither of them said this, but there was this thing everywhere in the things they discussed, and Lawrence's meaning was very clear, that is, the government did not have this idea now, but some people speculated in private and could not do it.
Gu Siwei listened with a smile, patted his leg and said, "I said, I'm a person, it's really a headache for learning languages, especially this Cantonese, mile howl!" It's awkward to say it, so I can't speak Cantonese here.
Of course, it doesn't prevent others from learning what others say, and speaking in tongues is people's freedom, but if people want to force me to say it, force my children to learn, then I will naturally scold my mother."
Gu Siwei's words here are very clear, don't want me to learn Cantonese, there is no door!
Is Lawrence angry?
Naturally, he was very angry, and he wanted to slap the table and yell: Hong Kong City is still our British colony!
But he really didn't have the guts, and if he yelled now, and more people would take to the streets tomorrow, the governor would surely scold his head out of the dog's head.
Does the Governor have a way?
Scold!
If he really had a way, he would still allow the kid in front of him to talk to him like this?
The Governor now knows that the kid in front of him is the Governor or he is the Governor, then there are two things to say.
The Governor knew that he could say a word and let tens of thousands of people take to the streets, but not many of these tens of thousands of people would have the idea of dying for him, and among these people who are now marching in the streets, so to speak, the young people in front of him may not be able to decide whether they live or die, but they can decide whether their family can eat a full meal.
Why does the Governor have a headache? Changing to the Queen of England, now you have a headache.
Is the British army an ornament?
Yes, some people in the government have also yelled at such things during discussions, but people with a little sense know that this is similar to fart.
Move the British army?
Do you really think that the Yuedi Military Region across the river over there is a vegetarian?
Spirits!
There weren't a few people in the room who said this, and soon these people calmed down on their own.
Don't let them do business like they did with the He family?
Well, to deal with the He family, in the end, I paid a sand emperor! Even if there is a pigsty in Hong Kong, he has to ask him to buy sand.
What can you do to deal with this person?
Besides, people are afraid of you to deal with it, but I don't see that they are fighting with those Yankees in California.
