Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 884 Prince Charles Arrives in Hong Kong

  After Yang Chen signed the contracts with several major consortiums, the transactions between the two sides also surfaced at the same time, and they were immediately reported through the media.

   The huge transaction of up to tens of billions of dollars, or even close to 100 billion dollars, shocked everyone's attention.

   Even in the 21st century, in the age of currency inflation, hundreds of billions of dollars in business, except for trade between countries, rarely occur in private enterprises.

   Not to mention, move forward forty years to the 1980s.

Once the news of    came out from the island nation's media, Yang Chen's transactions with several major consortiums in the island nation, teleportation detonated the entire island nation society.

   Then, in a very short time, it spread all over Europe, America, Asia and other countries. On the same day, news media all over the world reprinted and reported it for the first time.

  Yang Chen's name once again spread to the ears of people all over the world.

   At the same time, he also refreshed people's perception of wealth again.

  Many media, including the island nation's media, don't know the insider details of the specific transactions between Yang Chen and the major consortiums, and only obtained a slightly close transaction data from the mouths of the major consortiums.

   This kind of data is not obtained, but it gives space for many media reports.

  In the media's mind, as long as some things are not illegal, they can fabricate as much as possible to attract the public's attention, thereby increasing the sales of their own newspapers and TV ratings.

   In this regard, Yang Chen has no way to deal with it.

  The media in European and American countries sometimes even dare to criticize the government. It can be said that there is basically nothing they dare not do.

   In the face of the entire media force, he couldn't control it if he wanted to.

  After returning from the island country, apart from hiding from any media interviews every day, Yang Chen did one thing, withdrawing cash from the United States.

   It is now July, and there are only three months left before the Governor’s Office announces that the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar and cancels the free exchange rate.

  As the Hong Kong dollar continues to fall against the US dollar, more and more people are starting to follow suit. At this time, neither the British government nor the inland government can sit back and watch the situation continue to deteriorate.

   The inland government has repeatedly emphasized the stability of the society in Hong Kong, and economic stability is the top priority. No matter what the conditions of the United Kingdom are, the first point must be to ensure the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.

  Otherwise, the two sides have nothing to talk about.

   And the special geographical environment of Xiangjiang, as the economic center linking Asia, the United Kingdom also does not want the Hong Kong economy to continue to deteriorate, which will lead to social chaos.

   Because of this, it is easy to damage the overall image of the UK.

   For the superficial image of the United Kingdom, the British government is very important, because it needs to maintain the huge Commonwealth system.

  The Commonwealth system is related to many Commonwealth countries. If the British government deliberately leaves Hong Kong alone, or deliberately makes trouble, then the other Commonwealth countries are not fools, and they will definitely pay more attention in the future to prevent the British government from doing bad things.

  Since it cannot be ignored, then history will continue to unfold.

  As more and more people follow the trend, especially some big companies are not calm, the pressure on Hang Seng Bank is also increasing. For this reason, Yang Chen had to continue to mobilize US dollars from other places to maintain the normal operation of Hang Seng Bank.

   "Chen, how do you think I'm wearing this dress today?"

   In front of Yang Chen, Xue Yufei, who put on a black dress again, showed a gentleness that was different from usual, and her overall temperament was noble and cool, which was very different from her usual image.

   In order to attend the reception held by Governor Yode tonight, she has tried on several dresses back and forth.

   As the time in charge of the company got longer, Xue Yufei's strong woman became more and more obvious. Originally, Yang Chen thought that only He Chaoqiong would develop into the strong woman line because of her father's influence.

   Now, Xue Yufei also has this tendency, which makes him doubt that the **** decides the head, this sentence is really true.

   Even the style of dressing on weekdays has gradually begun to change, which makes Yang Chen feel that his woman should be educated.

   "Doesn't it look good?" Seeing Yang Chen staring at her without speaking, Xue Yufei lowered her head and fiddled with her dress, trying to find out what made Yang Chen dissatisfied.

  Yang Chen put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked to Xue Yufei's side, raised her chin and said, "You like black for everything?"

   "Can't you?" Xue Yufei's innocent little eyes.

   "Of course not, this color doesn't match you."

   It seemed that Yang Chen wanted to find fault with her on purpose, Xue Yufei became a sensible little woman in seconds, and said coquettishly, "Then help me choose!"

   "What about the dress I bought for you last time on your birthday?"

   "That dress has been worn once before."

   "Can't you wear it again after wearing it once?"

   "Then wait, I'll change clothes."

  …

  Mandarin Oriental Hotel

   The venue for today's reception was set here by Governor Youde.

  In the past, most of the receptions, regardless of the Governor's Palace, or the receptions of government officials and Chinese and British bosses, were mostly held at the Peninsula Hotel.

   However, after Yang Chen acquired the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

   After a period of renovation and internal adjustment of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, many Chinese bigwigs who tend to prefer the Peninsula Hotel began to slowly gather at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

   Today's reception is a bit special

   It’s not that this cocktail party is special because it was hosted by Governor Youde. In this place in Hong Kong, it’s nothing new for the Governor to host a cocktail party to invite the elites of the upper class to gather together.

The reason why    is special is because of the people who are standing on the stage at the moment.

   His identity is very special

   His appearance was surprising, including Yang Chen.

   Looking at Prince Charles who was giving a speech on the stage, Xue Yufei asked Yang Chen beside him curiously, "Chen, why did Prince Charles suddenly come to Xiangjiang?"

   Yang Chen smiled wryly and shook his head: "I really don't know about this."

   Yang Chen is also at a loss now. He has not received any news about Prince Charles' sudden visit to Xiangjiang and his appearance at the reception.

   It stands to reason that at this point in time, Charles, as a British prince, should not appear here.

   After all, the Hong Kong issue between China and the UK has not been completely resolved. Although the top leaders of the two countries met last year, the two sides have not yet reached a final conclusion.

   On such a major political issue, the British royal family will not interfere easily, because this is an issue that the government should deal with, not the royal family.

   Therefore, in most cases, the British royal family will not easily interfere with some politically sensitive issues, and even rarely express opinions.

   "I have a hunch that it should be aimed at you."

   "Press?" Yang Chen looked at her in surprise.

   However, at this moment, Xue Yufei's eyes were not on him, let alone Prince Charles on the stage. Following Xue Yufei's line of sight, Yang Chen saw a familiar face, walking towards them.
