HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

The TV reporter even pointed the camera at the somewhat proud Johnson.

And use split shots to cut to Batistuta, Schmidt, Li Bancheng and Lin Yao.

The seven evaluation experts on site looked at each other in confusion. Of course they knew that Jardine Matheson's new plan was full of loopholes.

However, they are ghosts, so they naturally side with Jardine Matheson.

But they don't know what is happening now, and they can only wait for Johnson to express or imply it.

At this moment, Johnson was nervously discussing something with Lawrence.

More and more policemen came in from the city hall.

Some reporters saw this threatening situation and relied on their professional intuition to know that something was going on outside.

The next moment, they all rushed outside.

What news requires is speed, either fast or slow.

Several reporters rushed out of the city hall first. When they looked outside, their eyes widened with horror.

Good guy!

At this moment, the crowd outside the main hall of the city was dark and crowded. It was obvious that they were all farmers and fishermen from the Saigon countryside.

To their surprise, these villagers were actually very orderly.

They used various signs to protest against the new development plan of Saigon by Jardine Matheson \u0026 Co., Ltd. and Swire \u0026 Co. Cheung Kong Industries.

The slogan is concise and concise, accusing the two major foreign companies and Yangtze River Industries of seriously infringing on their right to residence.

According to Jardine Matheson's new plan, the budget has indeed been increased.

However, there are big loopholes in subsidies for Dingquan, environmental protection, and resettlement of immigrants.

These reporters are all smart people. When they saw this situation, they knew that Jardine Matheson's new plan had been leaked long ago.

Otherwise, how could these villagers and fishermen respond so quickly?

And the appeal is so precise!

That's why Johnson and Lawrence were nervous, because what these Saigon residents were asking for was very reasonable.

A large number of blue hats, military uniforms, and even the Flying Tigers came to the scene.

But these Saigon villagers and fishermen did not have any conflicts with the demolitions.

Under the leadership of the squires, they were divided into formations one after another, chanting slogans in unison.

"Baipi, get out of Saigon!"

“Defend residential justice!”

…

The TV reporter never returned to the city hall. Instead, he seized this golden opportunity and focused his camera on these villagers and fishermen.

Print media reporters immediately went to interview those Saigon squires.

The squires were well prepared and responded fluently to the various questions asked by the reporters, as if there was a script (and indeed there was a script).

No slogan or slogan is beyond the scope, and they all appeal to the legitimate rights and interests of Saigon locals.

It doesn't block traffic, and doesn't give ghosts any chance to take advantage of it.

In City Hall, Johnson was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

This situation was something he never expected.

Lawrence told him that according to the current laws of Hong Kong Island, they were completely helpless against these villagers and fishermen.

This accident. Johnson was hit and Batistuta was caught off guard.

Including Deputy Commissioner Lawrence of the Police Department. He also looked helpless.

They had studied the villagers in Saigon last night, and there were all kinds of protests that the fishermen might make.

But I never expected that the order was so tight and the demands made were reasonable. Very targeted.

Because Jardine Matheson's new plan was introduced too hastily and without thorough consideration at all.

To put it bluntly, the root of the problem is that Jardine Matheson's new plan was leaked in advance.

At this moment, the three people in Battista, Schmidt, Lee, and half the city are negotiating about what happened outside. Their secretary or assistant has already told them.

Batistuta gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Lin Yao, that bastard. He must have known our plan in advance and told those unscrupulous people about it."

Schmidt said: "What's the point of talking about this now? Let's quickly figure out how to deal with it. If this continues, our new plan will be finished!"

"Shit, it looks like this project will fall into Lin Yao's hands."

"Mr. Li, what's your opinion?" Batistuta looked at Li Bancheng and asked.

Li Bancheng took out his handkerchief and kept wiping his sweat.

No matter how old a fox Li Bancheng is, if something like this suddenly happens, what can he do for a while?

This was indeed a big loss. It makes him feel like he has capsized in the gutter after having been in the shopping mall for many years.

"But Lin Yao must be behind this matter. There must be an insider in our family, and the news must be revealed to him in advance."

"I don't want your answer. What I want is how to solve it now?" Batistuta shouted in a deep voice.

"Let's let Mr. Johnson delay for a while, and we can adjust the plan and make a decision in the afternoon or evening, okay?" Li Bancheng had an idea and said.

"Okay, this is the only thing we can do now!"

Batistuta immediately gave some instructions to the secretary beside him. His female secretary nodded and immediately walked towards Johnson.

After the secretary said a few words in Johnson's ear, Johnson wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue.

Then he raised his head and said loudly: "The people in Saigon are protesting outside right now, but we feel that although Jardine Matheson's plan is flawed, it is not unfeasible."

"The new plan proposed by Jardine Matheson is similar to the plan proposed by Tianyao Group."

"Let's do this. A decision will be made before 8pm at this meeting. Now please ask Jardine Matheson to revise your new plan so that we can communicate with the villagers in Saigon."

"Objection! We object!!"

As soon as Johnson finished speaking, Sandy, the legal director of Tianyao Group, stood up and protested loudly.

"Miss Sandy, our meeting is scheduled for today. We have the right to explain the agenda of the entire meeting, so the objection is invalid."

Johnson said coldly to Sandy.

"Mr. Johnson, you have the right to give a new interpretation of the agenda, but the people outside do not have that much patience!"

Sandy shot back immediately.

Johnson was speechless.

yes!

If it is delayed until night, the matter will become more and more serious and become international news!

If the island is further aroused and the residents of Kowloon join in, Johnson will not be able to bear it.

At this moment, Johnson greeted Batistuta, Li Bancheng, and Schmidt's ancestors over and over again in his mind.

It was because their plan was so rubbish that Lin Yao took advantage of it.

He also mobilized the people of Saigon and forced them into the palace.

More importantly, the appeal made by the entire operation is very reasonable and irrefutable.

The pressure on the police to maintain order outside was very high.

Just when Johnson was in a dilemma, his secretary hurried over to him.

The secretary also held a big brother in his hand and said in his ear:

"Mr. Johnson, Mr. Hong Kong Governor is calling you..."

Johnson immediately took over Big Brother.

"Johnson, what did you do? My ancestors are calling me now!"

"Mr. Governor, this is what happened..."

Johnson briefly explained the situation to Peng Modai.

On the other side of the phone, after listening to Johnson's words, Peng Modai fell silent.

Just when Johnson was waiting impatiently, Peng Modai spoke:

"Let's do this. Ask Batistuta to call me in a secret place. My phone number is..."

"Okay, Mr. Governor."

After hanging up the phone, Johnson asked his secretary to tell Batistuta the news secretly.

Batistuta immediately got up and walked to the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, there was no trace of disappointment on his face. Instead, he was full of confidence.

Then he said loudly to Johnson:

"Mr. Johnson, I would like to explain the new plan!"

After collecting it, Batistuta gave Johnson a very secretive look, and Johnson understood instantly.

"Yes, Mr. Batistuta, you have the right to do so!" Johnson said tacitly.

Batistuta stood at the front desk, adjusted the microphone, and said to Deputy Commissioner of Police Lawrence:

"Deputy Director Lawrence, ask your subordinates to notify the reporters outside to come in. I have something important to announce!"

Lawrence nodded and immediately ordered his men to notify reporters outside.

After hearing this, reporters from outside also came in one after another, because they had almost completed their interviews with Saigon villagers and fishermen.

They also wanted to hear what Batistuta, the president of Jardine Matheson, would say.

Because now it seems that Jardine Matheson's new plan has reached a dead end and is completely uncompetitive compared to Tianyao Group's plan.

If Johnson is too strong, the Saigon people outside will definitely rush in, and it will be a lively day.

This is a major event that has not happened in Hong Kong Island in a century. If it really happens, it will definitely be a historic moment.

"Everyone, our new plan does have some flaws because it was introduced in a hurry."

"But we will make further modifications to the plan based on the demands raised by the people outside."

"What I want to say now is that Tianyao Group's plan has bigger flaws than ours."

"What's more important is that Tianyao Group was established less than three years ago and wants to develop the entire Saigon."

"No matter how perfect the plan is, it will definitely be full of loopholes when implemented."

"Unlike us, Yang Hong has been on Hong Kong Island for almost 100 years. How many projects have we done? Everyone can see it!"

A reporter immediately asked: "Mr. Batistuta, do you mean that Tianyao Group does not have the actual ability to develop Saigon?"

"Or is it that Tianyao Group made you feel a huge crisis? That's why you said that?"

Batistuta smiled and nodded and said:

"Mr. Reporter, you are right. This is a fact."

"As far as I know, Mr. Lin Yao is not 23 years old until this year."

"The Tianyao Group he founded has only been established for less than three years."

"How can a company like this complete the development of the entire Saigon?"

"Saigon's large-scale development will cost tens of billions. It's not just money, but also construction capabilities and assessment of various factors."

"Their plan is perfect, but what did they do before? What did they build?"

"Give me an example, just one, and I'll listen to it!"

Sandy immediately stood up, picked up his own microphone and said:

"Mr. Batty, Tianyao Group really has this ability!"

"Don't forget that our development in the New Territories is very successful. Now the entire New Territories infrastructure is being built by our Tianyao Group!"

"Also, Tianyao Group has invested billions in Pengcheng, Yangcheng, and Shekou in the mainland, and large-scale infrastructure construction is in full swing."

After hearing what Sandy said, Batista's face didn't look so good.

Because Sandy is telling the truth, Hong Kong TV news and print media have been bombarding her during this period.

Even ordinary Hong Kong residents know about the generosity of Tianyao Group.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

"What happened to Deputy Director Lawrence?" Johnson asked immediately.

Lawrence wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He walked up to Johnson and whispered to him: "Mr. Johnson's situation is not good!"

"There are more and more protesting citizens outside, and even people from Kowloon, New Territories, are participating."

"If we don't make a decision today, I'm afraid something big will happen."

Johnson panicked now, and he immediately dialed Peng Modai's phone number.

"Mr. Governor, the current situation is..."

Peng Mudai on the other end of the phone said angrily: "What on earth did you do? You can't even handle a small Tianyao Group?"

"Well, let's agree first and do Tombattistuta's work and tell them that they also have a chance."

"The top priority now is to appease those outside City Hall. I don't believe that Tianyao Group's plan has no loopholes."

"Remember, Hong Kong Island is still ours now, and the initiative is always in our hands!"

After hearing Peng Modai's clear instructions, Johnson breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Mr. Governor, I will do as you say right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Johnson called the seven evaluation experts together and gave them a few words.

Then he asked Batistuta to come over and told him Peng Modai's instructions.

Although Batistuta was angry, he could only accept it.

After all, Peng Modai gave them some hope.

After regaining his position, he told Schmidt what Johnson had told him.

After hearing this, Li Bancheng looked sinister, uglier than his dead mother.

Schmidt looked relaxed and said to Li Bancheng: "Mr. Li, don't be so depressed, we will win in the end!"

"Mr Johnson just paid lip service to those ignorant people today."

Li Bancheng kept shaking his head, but didn't say anything.

I was complaining in my heart: "You guys know nothing!"

Immediately, seven evaluation experts "unanimously determined" that Tianyao Group had obtained the development rights in Saigon this time.

Johnson walked out of City Hall himself to announce the news to the protesters.

The protesting crowd outside slowly began to retreat, but they did not cheer.

"Brother Yao, we finally succeeded!" Sandy looked at Lin Yao with excitement and said.

If there weren't too many people at the scene, she would have jumped directly into Lin Yao's arms to celebrate.

Lin Yao smiled and said: "Sandy, we have only achieved phased success. Can you believe Gui Lao's credibility?"

"Brother Yao, does that mean the matter isn't over yet?" Sandy said, feeling a little disappointed.

Lin Yao smiled and said: "It's not over yet, but we have already succeeded 80%!"

"Let's go Sandy, now you can go back and do the next step!" (End of this chapter)
