1979 Golden Age

"Hong Kong will be the Waterloo of the 'Iron Lady' political career!"

International media used such a headline to describe Thatcher's fall.

In order to show respect, the mainland downplayed the incident, but the Hong Kong media was already climaxing. The pro-British faction insisted that Thatcher had just finished varicose vein surgery and had not recovered before going to work. He was overworked and fell accidentally.

Those who like to watch the fun described it as: "He hit a snag in the negotiation, walked out of the door with a lonely look, and was restless, blah blah..."

In short, after Thatcher fell, the Hong Kong stock index fell 25 points.

The US dollar hit the latest low of 1:6.97 against the Hong Kong dollar, and it plummeted all the way, reaching a minimum of 1:9, until the British Hong Kong government guaranteed 100% of its foreign exchange reserves and pegged it to the US dollar at an exchange rate of 1:7.75, and then stabilized.

Before Thatcher fell, with the power of the great victory in the Falkland Islands, many people in Hong Kong cheered.

After the crash, anyone with a normal mind would not think that Britain still had any chance, and Hong Kong would definitely be taken back! No matter what the reason was, the crash was the crash, and ordinary people only looked at the result.

"Ahhh, it moved!"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

In the night on the Clearwater Bay Studios, Gong Xue was screaming while steering, Li Lianjie was sitting in the back with a panic, and Xiao Mo was calmly instructing in the co-pilot: "Lightly step on the leftmost with your left foot, and lightly step on the middle with your right foot..."

"The left one! The middle one! The left one! The middle one!"

This shows Xiao Mo's experience. He didn't say clutch or brake, but directly said the position. Gong Xue found it smoothly, slowed down the speed, and the rookie had the courage again: "Wow, I'm driving!"

"Turn the steering wheel slowly, go around a circle, turn as many times as you want!"

"Wow!"

Gong Xue laughed happily, successfully went around the studio three times, and was still not satisfied. Li Lianjie couldn't wait to grab the seat: "It's my turn! It's my turn!"

He operated it more smoothly, and also went around a few times. Xiao Mo looked at the time and asked: "Sister Xue, are you still practicing?"

"Let's practice tomorrow, go back first!"

"Okay!"

Li Lianjie wanted to drive for a while longer, but Xiao Mo didn't listen to him, so he had to give up the driving seat.

This is the crew of "Tai Chi 3". The two of them finished the filming and followed the driving lesson. Li Lianjie sat in the co-pilot and said: "Xiao Mo, how long do you think it will take us to learn?"

"..."

Xiao Mo squinted at him. When Brother Qi was here, you called me Xiao Mo, and I didn't care; now that Brother Qi is gone, what should you call me?

"Uh!"

Li Lianjie didn't get a response, feeling a little embarrassed, so Gong Xue tried to smooth things over: "Can we learn it in a week?"

"If you say learning, it's easy. The key to driving is to be proficient, which takes time."

"Does that mean we have to buy a car ourselves?"

"Cars are very cheap in Hong Kong. This one only costs more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Cheap things don't get good. I have to save money to buy a good one!" Li Lianjie said.

Gong Xue also glanced at him. This kid sometimes speaks too directly, so she deliberately asked: "Hey, you are so confident, how much bonus did you get?"

"Hehe, not much! You must have more than me."

"I didn't get a penny in bonus!"

"Ah? Brother Qi didn't give you a bonus?"

"I'm not from your company, but the Beijing Film Studio gave me 100 yuan."

Li Lianjie suddenly felt a little sympathetic, leaned over and whispered: "Sister, don't tell anyone, Brother Qi gave me a total of 10,000 yuan for the two "Tai Chi" movies."

"RMB?"

"Yeah!"

Gong Xue knew that he was very concerned about Chen Qi. 's importance, and praised him and chatted: "You can do it, all the movie actors in the country don't make as much as you do, unlike me, the money I have is not enough to cover the losses in mahjong."

"They still ask you to play mahjong?"

"How can I avoid it!"

Li Lianjie felt more sympathetic, and suddenly said: "You won't borrow money from me, will you?"

"Then will you?"

"Of course I will, you are like my sister."

Li Lianjie smiled, and Gong Xue also smiled, and Chen Qi's evaluation of him emerged in her mind: he is greedy for fame and money, prone to extremes, has affection, but not too much...

Returned to the dormitory building.

Both of them lived on the 8th floor, the same floor as Fu Qi's family.

As soon as the elevator opened, Gong Xue came out quietly, made a hush gesture, and walked to her room quietly. As a result, just as she took out the key, the door next door opened and Shi Nansheng ran out.

"Why did you come back just now? I was waiting for you!"

"Oh, you guys go find someone else, I really don't know how to play!"

"Hurry up, just in time for Xuehua!"

Gong Xue was dragged in with tears in her eyes, and Li Lianjie gave her a helpless expression.

…………

"Xiao Gong, come on!"

"Why did you come back so late?"

The room had been set up long ago. Fu Qi was not there, probably because he couldn't stand the women's chattering. Only the poor Fu Mingxian was at home serving tea and water.

Shi Hui was wearing home clothes, like an ordinary Hong Kong housewife. Zhong Chuhong was wearing cool clothes, still showing her thighs. She smiled politely at Gong Xue, but didn't say anything. There was a small pile of change in front of her, and it seemed that she had good luck.

Liu Xuehua loved playing mahjong in the back. She was still young at this time, and was also caught to make up the numbers. She shouted: "You are finally back. Three beat me one. It's your turn!"

She stood up and pressed Gong Xue to her seat. Shi Nansheng also sat down and shuffled the cards.

"Filming is exhausting, why don't you relax?"

"I won't keep you here for long. I'll let you go after playing eight rounds!"

"All right……"

Gong Xue had no choice but to take out some change from her bag. It wasn't a big deal, but she couldn't accept it at first.

Bet money!

Those who are shot in mainland China will be shot within five minutes!

She was sitting in Shi Hui's house. Her boss was Shi Nansheng, and opposite her was Zhong Chuhong. She was clumsily arranging and combining the code cards, two or three, which one could be touched and which one could be eaten...

Liu Xuehua sat on the sofa and watched TV with Fu Mingxian.

The news about Thatcher was being broadcast on TV.

Shi Hui said: "I read some English newspapers. Don't be too funny. Unless she just had an operation, does it matter whether she has the operation? If she does the operation, Hong Kong will not take it back?"

"Sister Hui, do you mean that Hong Kong must be taken back?" Zhong Chuhong asked.

"Of course it has to be collected. The British lost nine feet of one foot of cloth - only one foot (foot) of cloth was left! Remember the Hong Kong military and police in those days? I don't know what kind of wind they got, and they went to Sha Tau Kok to shoot. Even our militiamen Never fought.

In my opinion, the policy is too stable and makes the British worry about food rather than fighting, so they should just bulldoze it! "

"Sister Hui, why don't you consider my mood? I'm a local!" Zhong Chuhong said.

"You are a gay too, don't be afraid... Xiao Gong, let's play cards!" Shi Hui urged.

"Wait a minute!"

Gong Xue looked at the cards hurriedly and hesitated: "I seem to be confused?"

"If you're being silly, push it!" Shi Nansheng said.

"I'm not sure!"

"Then you're going to blow it up!" Zhong Chuhong said with a smile.

"Oh, I, I..."

Gong Xue still reached out and pushed. Shi Nansheng looked at it and said with a smile: "Butt Hu? It's okay, Butt Hu is also a Hu. Do you think you are getting more and more skilled? I said Shanghai women are born to play mahjong."

"I don't agree. Women in the capital can also play!" Liu Xuehua shouted.

"Then you don't dare to play?" Shi Hui said.

"Hong Kong women are the ones who know how to play!" Zhong Chuhong said.

"Yes, yes, women from the capital are going to the Spring Festival Gala!" Shi Nansheng said.

"Hahaha!"

How terrifying is the power of four women laughing together? Liu Xuehua was furious and pinched Fu Mingxian's fat face.
