Chapter 761: Pearl of the Orient

Those present here today are all very important figures stationed in Hong Kong by the central government, and needless to say, the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government is the chief representative in Hong Kong.

China Merchants Group and China Resources Group are both very powerful state-owned enterprises in Hong Kong, with businesses in finance, real estate and foreign trade, and have a strong influence in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

In addition, there are two heavyweights, one is the commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, and the other is the special commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong.

The Central People's Government has three official organs stationed in Hong Kong, namely the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Garrison of the People's Liberation Army, and the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong.

During the banquet, the staggered planning was not lively.

The attendees were all high-ranking people, and they all respected each other from the bottom of their hearts.

In particular, the two CEOs of China Merchants and China Resources were more directly influenced by the National Development and Reform Commission, so they frequently toasted Li Yanqing.

Li Yanqing's return gift was also very thoughtful.

After all, these two companies are special, and they are different from the average top state-owned enterprises, not only because they have a strong economic position, but also because they play a political role in Hong Kong.

Under the leadership of the head of the Propaganda Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, the CEOs of several media outlets are also close to Li Yanqing.

At present, there are many cultural exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong, and many celebrities in Hong Kong's cultural and artistic circles also rely on them for docking and exchanges.

The position of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government is a bit special in terms of name, the minister is called the director, and the director of the department is called the minister, and Liang Jiangtao feels quite interesting.

The dinner ended early, and Li Yanqing walked with the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the villa and went back to his room to rest.

The next day, it was officially cleared and arrived in Hong Kong.

Unlike mainland leaders who like to take Toyota Coasters, Hong Kong likes to take nanny business cars.

It's more private and flexible.

Several Toyota Alpha cars lined up, and Liang Jiangtao sat inside, browsing the street scenes on both sides, and his heart was surging.

In his previous life, he lived for 40 years, and he has always longed for Hong Kong, but he has a lot of fate.

I've always wanted to come here to travel, but first, I'm busy with work, and second, as a grassroots civil servant, where is the spare money?

Later, something bad happened, and he was very indignant in his heart, but he couldn't use it.

But in Hong Kong, the patriotic and Hong Kong pro-establishment and kind-hearted ordinary citizens are always in the majority.

The vehicle was driving on the road, and Liang Jiangtao felt very strange.

Such a narrow road, carrying so many vehicles and pedestrians, but not congested with traffic.

The Toyota Alpha shuttles freely like its peers, and it is very efficient.

On the whole, it is crowded but not blocked.

If it was in the capital, it would have been blocked a long time ago.

How is this done?

Liang Jiangtao observed that there was not a single vehicle parked indiscriminately on the road, and there were no people who set up stalls to occupy the road, and the setting of traffic lights was very reasonable.

It reflects the superb level of urban management and the quality of citizens.

These are all things that mainland city managers should learn from.

Now, of course, there are mainly traffic problems in a few large cities.

The number of private cars in the mainland is still very low, and small and medium-sized cities basically don't know what traffic jams are in this era.

But after this year, the situation will be turned upside down, and many "first" cities will appear frequently.

Passing by the Golden Bauhinia Square and looking at the fluttering five-star red flag, Liang Jiangtao felt a sense of pride in his heart.

The redbud is the city flower of Hong Kong, and like the Lion Rock, it is a symbol and cultural symbol of Hong Kong.

The Oriental Pearl is an inseparable part of the motherland, even after a hundred years of wind and rain, it is still connected with the motherland.

The high-rise buildings and prosperity of Central made him feel a lot of emotion, and everywhere revealed the feeling of extreme modernity.

Bank of China Tower, Convention and Exhibition Centre, International Finance Centre, Times Square, International Commerce Centre, .......

Although the infrastructure construction of Beijing and Shanghai has slowly caught up, and the urban construction plan of Beijing has entered the fast lane after the successful bid for the Olympic Games, there is still a significant gap compared with Hong Kong, an old world-class city.

The vehicle arrived at The Peninsula Hotel, 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.

Opened in 1928, this old five-star hotel was known as the "Lady of the Far East" and was one of the most advanced and luxurious hotels in Asia at the time.

More than 70 years of ups and downs have witnessed too many glories and stories.

Unlike modern hotels such as the Four Seasons Hotel and the Marriott Hotel, the Red Brick façade and Peninsula logo of The Peninsula Hotel bear witness to the changes of Hong Kong over the past century.

Not only has it been historical, but it also has a modern design that is very luxurious and comfortable.

The hotel has been selected as one of the top 10 most famous hotels in the world, and celebrities have stayed with celebrities such as former US President Richard Nixon, movie star Chilkipo, NBA star Michael Jordan, Queen Elizabeth II and many more.

It is worth mentioning that The Peninsula's Rolls-Royce team is the largest Rolls-Royce team in the world.

"Well, this hotel is good, and it has a strong sense of history." Li Yanqing nodded in praise.

Let's go to the room to rest first, put down our bags, and prepare to meet the chief executive in a while.

Liang Jiangtao looked at the elegant and atmospheric room, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were full of sunlight, and the opposite side was Victoria Harbour, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy, which was really "extremely refreshing".

After a short rest, I drove to the Hong Kong Government House.

Government House is located between Albert Road and Lower Albert Road in the mid-levels of Central, and was once the Governor's House of Hong Kong.

Today, it is the official residence of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and the most important official reception venue of the government.

At Government House, you can look up at Victoria Peak, and not far to the north is the Central Government Offices.

The Chief Executive is already waiting to be greeted.

He was tall, kind-eyed, and had a gentle smile on his face.

As the first chief executive of Hong Kong after its return to the motherland, this is his second term.

He has fulfilled his mission responsibilities well and has made a very outstanding contribution.

Other heavyweight officials of the HKSAR Government also attended.

The Hong Kong government is structured under three departments and thirteen bureaux.

The Chief Secretary for Administration, the Financial Secretary and the Department of Justice are the most important.

Below are the 13 bureaux, including the Civil Service Bureau, the Development Bureau, the Security Bureau, etc.

The Chief Secretary for Administration, the Secretary for Justice, the Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology, and the Secretary for Security were all present.

There are also other important department leaders, including the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong.

The Commissioner of Police, who is under the authority of the Secretary for Security, has always played a very important role in the Hong Kong government, managing 30,000 members of the Hong Kong Police Force and being nicknamed "Brother One".

The Hong Kong Police Force claims to be one of the world's top and professional police forces, and is an important force in maintaining social order in the Pearl of the Orient.

These officials are all patriots of the establishment and the most elite force in Hong Kong society.

In addition to Hong Kong officials, the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government, the commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner in Hong Kong, and the commander of the Hong Kong Garrison all came.

The Hong Kong Garrison is a full-fledged army-level structure, with a first-in-command and a deputy commander, so he is a lieutenant general.

The Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner in Hong Kong is a cadre at the level of Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The leaders greeted each other at the door and walked into the conference room.
