Chapter 695: Goodbye to Hong Kong Island Rich (Part 1)
Chapter 695 Goodbye to Hong Kong Island Rich (Part 1)
In general, Patten still has a great effect on Hong Kong Island.《》/《》/
But that was all in the past life. In this life, Patten took over as the governor of Hong Kong in early 1991 and made drastic reforms to Hong Kong Island in an attempt to accelerate the pace of democracy in Hong Kong Island.
Shortly after taking office, Patten fell into a bad relationship with the mainland government. In October 1991 (Before Lin Yu's rebirth was in October 1992), Patten issued his first policy report during his tenure. The report mentioned the political reform plan and stated that it would soon reform the electoral system of the Legislative Yuan, in addition to "separating the two bureaus", abolishing all appointed seats, and adding nine functional groups (new nine groups), so that all working people are eligible to vote to speed up the democratic pace of Hong Kong Island. However, the Chinese government immediately expressed dissatisfaction, pointing out that the reform had not consulted the central government's opinions, and declared that it would cancel the relevant reforms after the transfer of sovereignty from Hong Kong Island. At that time, many Beijing officials accused Patten of being a "venomous snake", "thief", "prostitute" and "last tango" for the democratic faction. Among them, the then director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office even scolded Patten as a "eternal sinner."
Before the return of Hong Kong Island, due to the confrontational attitude of the Hong Kong and British government and the influence of public opinion, some Hong Kong Islanders had confidence problems; there were also misunderstandings in the international community. Fortune magazine also made a cover topic called "Hong Kong Island is Dead". Many Hong Kong Island citizens had a panic and worried about the return. Many people were worried that after the return of Hong Kong Island, various policies would undergo fundamental changes, and they chose to sell their assets and immigrate overseas, which once led to the social economic shock of Hong Kong Island.
Under such circumstances, the mainland has solved the confidence problem of Hong Kong Islanders, not only promoted Hong Kong Islanders to establish the "Hong Kong Island Better Foundation" to go to various countries to explain China's policies towards Hong Kong Island, but also invited some celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong to visit China. Everyone has a deeper understanding of China's "one country, two systems" and the new policy of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". They fully believe that they should not be blinded by the remarks of some people with ulterior motives.
This move, especially inviting Hong Kong celebrities to visit the mainland, is to discuss a series of issues of construction and development after the return of Hong Kong Island, offer suggestions, and reflect the social conditions and public opinion of Hong Kong Island to the central government. Moreover, these celebrities have a high status and great influence on Hong Kong Island. As long as they are not only optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island, but also maintain the economic stability and prosperity of Hong Kong Island with practical actions, they can stabilize a large group of Hong Kong Island citizens, ensure the stable transition and return of Hong Kong Island, and play an ununderstood role in the economic and social development after the return of Hong Kong Island.
However, since 1983, patriotic businessmen and celebrities from Hong Kong have always been committed to promoting the return of Hong Kong Island, frequently traveling between Hong Kong Island and Hong Kong Island, especially the charter king. He has an important position in Hong Kong society and good relations with the United Kingdom. He often travels between the capital, London and Hong Kong Island, and has frequently contacted and contacted all parties. Especially when the Sino-British negotiations are deadlocked, he has played a role that others cannot play. The old man has also met with the charter king and other patriots many times, but he has never allowed himself to participate.
How could this time happen?
Lin Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Director Chen looked at Lin Yu in surprise when he heard this. In his opinion, the old man pointed out that Lin Yu was going to participate in meeting with the celebrities in Hong Kong. It was nothing more than gilding him, a man with a very background. It was all done. Anyway, the credit was indispensable for him. But why did he really treat himself as a dish?
Although Lin Yu is extremely calm and completely different from ordinary young people, he is only in his twenties after all. He is young even if he is just sitting there, and he is older than the young man who does united front work. Director Chen will never believe that no matter how simple this young man is, can he understand his skills than him who has been working in united front work for more than 20 years?
Even though he complained, Director Chen did not dare to slacken at all. After all, if this young man really had some temper, it would be a trivial matter if he didn't go, but if he couldn't make a mistake, it would be a big matter if he couldn't make a mistake.
"There are many celebrities coming this time, including real estate king Huo, Li Chaoren, ship king Bao, real estate tycoon Zheng, and Guo from the Guo family in Hong Kong......" Director Chen said with some respect. Although he is a senior official in the mainland, he often deals with celebrities in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. He is very familiar with the situation of these people.
The names he mentioned were people who stomp their feet and trembled around. It can be said that if these people stomp their feet, Hong Kong Island will immediately change its color.
At the same time, Director Chen is also quite complacent. After all, these heavyweight figures were invited by themselves, which also means that they are working well?
When Lin Yu heard the first few names, he couldn't help but smile. He was all old acquaintances. Every time he went to Hong Kong, these big guys competed to invite him. Lin Yu also gained respect from everyone with his own demeanor and far-sightedness, and his prediction and analysis ability to speak out for economic and social development. After several interactions, he became a friend of his age.
I didn't expect everyone to come to Beijing at this time.
However, it seems that under the background of supporting the eve of Hong Kong’s return, other celebrities and elites from Hong Kong’s island came to the capital together, which is not particularly abrupt.
Of course, Lin Yu could also think that the reason why the old man allowed him to participate in the meeting was that in addition to being familiar with the celebrities who visited this time, he was more able to speak in Hong Kong.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and wanted to meet these respectable bosses. Looking at Director Chen's anxious look of anticipation, he smiled and said, "So that's it, no problem. It's okay to do something for the country."
Lin Yu agreed happily and neatly, with a sincere expression, without any hypocrisy and politeness, and was completely different from the arrogance just now. After Director Chen was stunned, he was also full of joy. No matter what, he finally deserved to be in vain for the trip.
Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is located in the ancient Diaoyutai Scenic Area outside Fuchengmen, the western suburb of Beijing. It is about one kilometer long from north to south and about 05 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of 420,000 cubic meters. The interior is elegant and peaceful, with green grass and clear lake water. It is a perfect fusion of the classical architectural taste of China and the modern architectural style. It is an important place for Chinese leaders to conduct foreign affairs activities, and it is also a super-star hotel for the country to receive heads of state and important guests. Since its establishment in 1959, it has received more than 1,000 guests from all countries around the world. It is a place that has attracted attention from people and media from all over the world and is known as the "first hall in the East".
To be fair, the layout and scenery of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse are very distinctive, but in comparison, they are far from the Paradise Island that Lin Yu worked hard to manage. However, the strong cultural and historical atmosphere and royal style are everywhere, which is incomparable to nowhere. Maybe a small pool or a pavilion inside has a leisurely allusion, which makes people stay in it, as if time goes back and intoxicated by it.
The car seemed to be walking through history. After many road guards inspected it, it finally stopped in front of a building.
This is a six-story building. The arc-shaped main building is magnificent and magnificent. Green space, landscape, rockery, and fountains surround the main building, and the scenery is pleasant and grand. It can be called a small paradise. This building is a typical oriental ancient architectural exterior design. A pair of gilded bronze lions who have been lost for many years in the early century and returned to their hometown were guarding the sides of the gate. Looking from the gate, the scenery of the classical garden is beautiful.
In such an environment, people's mind and nature can't help but restrain themselves. Lin Yu also sorted out his appearance slightly before getting off the car, for fear that he would defile this atmosphere and environment if he was not careful.
In the long corridor, there was a tight guard, three steps, one post, five steps, and one whistle. The bodyguards of Zhongnanhai gathered outside the conference room, looking nervous as if they were facing a great enemy. They were equipped with all kinds of electronic inspection instruments. Even with Zheng Yuanguang, Lin Yu was searched carefully.
Under Zheng Yuanguang's leadership, the two walked to a quaint hall. Before they got close, a staff member came up to say respectfully to Zheng Yuanguang: "Director Zheng, the leader is meeting guests from Hong Kong Island. He has asked twice why you haven't arrived yet."
While speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin Yu in surprise. He was not a staff member around the old man and did not know Lin Yu. Instead, he was a little surprised that this young man came here.
"I know, let's go in now." Zheng Yuanguang waved his hand and said lightly, and the man went backwards. It can be seen that Zheng Yuanguang's level is not low.
"Let's go, Xiaoyu, the old man is anxious." Zheng Yuanguang turned his face and said to Lin Yu with a smile. His earnest expression and posture really surprised the man just now.
Now the eyes of these staff members looked at Lin Yu even more unusual, and their hearts were even more turbulent and turbulent. This young man was not only accompanied by Director Zheng himself, but Director Zheng's tone seemed to be the old man himself to see him, which was incredible.
The old man met with a Hong Kong island guest. What's the use of such a young man?
However, this question can only be lingered in their hearts, but no one dared to ask.
Zheng Yuanguang gently pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in with Lin Yu.
There was a faint tea fragrance in the reception room. The short-sized old man was sitting on the wide white sofa, drinking tea while having cordial talks with the guests from Hong Kong Island around him.
In addition to the elderly, the Minister of the United Front Work Department Chen Yong and a very small number of staff around the elderly, there was no one else in the reception room. After the news media was allowed to interview, they took a set of pictures and left in a hurry. What can they report? Naturally, relevant staff will provide them with information text later. This kind of report on national affairs has strict regulations and censorship systems.
