Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

the next morning.

Regarding Lin Baicheng's exclusive interview last night, major newspapers reported on it one after another. The relevant reports made the people in Xiangjiang who did not watch the news last night also know about it.

"One country, two systems? It seems like Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong, right?"

"We Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong. I really don't understand why Mr. Lin wants to refute Mr. Lee's idea that Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong."

"you do not say!"

"What's the difference! Senator Lee's idea of ​​Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong does not say that the sovereignty of Hong Kong will be transferred to the mainland, while Mr. Lam's one country, two systems insists on returning Hong Kong to the mainland. There is an essential difference between the two."

"That seems to be the case."

"Lin Sheng's position is still to support the mainland, but he is also a Xiangjiang person, so he supports us Xiangjiang people to govern Hong Kong."

"He is the richest man in our city in Hong Kong. It is normal for him to support letting the people of Hong Kong govern Hong Kong. He is one of our own."

"..."

People have mixed comments on relevant reports. Some people simply don't understand the difference between "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong" and "one country, two systems". In their opinion, they are both the same, and they are all governed by Hong Kong people. But there are also some people who can see the difference, but whether Xiangjiang belongs to Britain or China has no impact on them. Lin Baicheng's "one country, two systems" also supports the people of Xiangjiang to govern Hong Kong, so it does not affect the interests of the people of Xiangjiang. Naturally, they would not have a bad feeling towards Lin Baicheng.

In other words, the "one country, two systems" proposed by Lin Baicheng has been accepted by the public, at least it will not make the people of Hong Kong feel bad about his stance of supporting the mainland.

Not only the people at the bottom of Xiangjiang, but also all walks of life in Xiangjiang had different reactions to Lin Baicheng's remarks.

Originally, Lin Baicheng thought that the Hong Kong government or Li Pengfei would be the first to stand up and refute the "one country, two systems" policy. It was normal for the Hong Kong government to object and refute it. After all, Hong Kong is still a British colony. However, Lin Baicheng's remarks asked Britain to return Hong Kong to China. British interests have been harmed, and it is normal for the Hong Kong government to come forward to refute such remarks, no matter what the reasons are.

As for Li Pengfei, Lin Baicheng opposed Li Pengfei's "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong". Li Pengfei's direct interests were harmed, and it was normal for him to confront Lin Baicheng and fight back against Lin Baicheng.

However, it was neither the Hong Kong government nor Li Pengfei who responded first, but the Hong Kong-based agency of the Bay Island authorities.

In this day and age, the station of the Bay Island authorities in Hong Kong cannot appear in Hong Kong in an official name. This may be related to the transaction between Britain and China. Anyway, the station of the Bay Island authorities in Hong Kong is a company. A travel agency operates in the name of a commercial organization, and its person in charge is the general manager of the travel agency.

In fact, it is similar to China's Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong, except that Xinhua News Agency can appear in the official name, while the travel agency can only appear in the name of a commercial organization, but the responsibilities of both are actually the same.

Lin Baicheng proposed "one country, two systems". The general manager of the travel agency stationed in Xiangjiang of the Bay Island authorities immediately refuted Lin Baicheng's remarks, saying that Lin Baicheng was selling out the interests of Xiangjiang for his own benefit. After the return of Xiangjiang, it will inevitably become As members of the mainland, we implement socialism together. We all eat from the same big pot. We are not allowed to do business, or have private property, etc.

Anyway, after the return of Xiangjiang, a lot of unfavorable remarks were made to the people of Xiangjiang, and they did not support the return of Xiangjiang to the motherland.

The reason why the general manager of the travel agency reacted with such strong opposition is that although it belongs to Xiangjiang and seems to have nothing to do with the Bay Island, if Xiangjiang returns under the "one country, two systems" principle, it will not return to China yet. Only Ao Island and Wan Island are left. Among them, there is no need to think too much about Ao Island. Once Hong Kong returns, the Portuguese country behind Ao Island has no right to negotiate conditions with China and will inevitably return Ao Island.

As a result, all that is left is Bay Island.

Only one area, Bay Island, has not returned, not to mention it is more conspicuous. After Hong Kong's return, the system has not changed, and the social economy will not get worse, and may even get better. This is extremely detrimental to the Bay Island authorities' rule over the Bay Island.

Bay Island is separated from the mainland by a narrow strip of water. Many of them fled to Bay Island with the Kuomintang. Many of these people want to go back to their hometowns. However, for the sake of their own rule, the Bay Island authorities have been publicizing how uncomfortable it would be to go back. Well, at the same time, the promotion of the new generation of Bay Island also constantly speaks ill of the mainland.

However, if the lives of the people of Xiangjiang do not change and the safety of property is guaranteed after the return of Hong Kong, then the propaganda of the Bay Island authorities will be self-defeating and will cause people's hearts to wander, thinking that even if the return of the Bay Island will not have a bad impact on them , on the contrary, you can go back to your hometown to see, which is not conducive to the rule of the Bay Island authorities.

Therefore, the Bay Island authorities reacted strongly and immediately stood up to attack Lin Baicheng's remarks.

To put it simply, Lin Baicheng's remarks have harmed the interests of the Bay Island authorities. Naturally, the Bay Island authorities will not watch helplessly, and counterattack is only the first step.

This morning, Lin Baicheng stayed at home for the time being, but he was very concerned about the outside world's reaction to his remarks, so he asked the Secretariat to keep an eye on it and contact him as soon as possible if there was any situation.

Therefore, not long after the Bay Island authorities responded, Lin Baicheng learned about the incident from Qin Lan.

"I know about this, how are you going to deal with it?" Lin Baicheng asked.

Qin Lan replied: "We believe that Mr. Lin is talking about the ownership of Xiangjiang and is seeking benefits for the people of Xiangjiang. This is the business of the people of Xiangjiang themselves and has nothing to do with the Bay Island authorities. Therefore, we can pass the policy of not allowing outsiders to interfere with Xiangjiang." Fight back on political grounds.”

"Okay, just do as you say, and you will respond on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, Lin Baicheng immediately said that Qin Lan and the others would have no problem responding this way.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

"Then let's leave it like this for now, and contact me if there is any situation."

Lin Baicheng said and ended the call.

…

Lin Baicheng counterattacked and opposed the statement of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong". As Li Pengfei who proposed this statement, of course he would not have no reaction at all.

However, Li Pengfei knew that it would be useless to fight back alone, so he did not take action immediately. Instead, he contacted Yingzi and asked for help.

Li Pengfei is not asking the British capital to step down and support him. It is actually useless to ask the British capital to step down and support him in this kind of thing. It may even be counterproductive. After all, what everyone is talking about is the ownership of Hong Kong. British capital represents the interests of the British people. Hong Kong was colonized by the British. It is impossible to say that the people at the bottom of Xiangjiang do not exclude the British from their hearts. It is impossible to say that they do not want to be colonized.

Therefore, Li Pengfei asked British capital to help contact some pro-British Chinese businessmen and people from all walks of life. The more influential the better, and he could speak out through these Chinese elites. As long as the number is large enough and the influence is large enough, coupled with the publicity of public opinion, it is possible to create a situation of turbulent public opinion.

This situation can not only be used to win over the neutral and hesitant factions, but also to suppress the opposition, putting pressure on Lin Baicheng, the direct opponent, and at the same time, it is made visible to the people of Xiangjiang.

How do the general public know so much? They will only see that a large number of Chinese elites support Li Pengfei and oppose Lin Baicheng's "one country, two systems". Following what others say, they will naturally choose to believe and support Li Pengfei, which will allow Li Pengfei to gain more support.

Faced with Li Pengfei's request for help, Henry Kaesik and others discussed it and quickly decided to agree. After all, they didn't need to pay anything.

After all, the British have ruled Hong Kong for so many years. Naturally, there will be a group of people who support the British rule. After all, some people can achieve their current achievements only by relying on the support of the British.

Take the business world as an example. Today, at least half of the industries in Hong Kong are controlled by the British. In the past few years or even more than ten years, this situation will only become more serious. In this way, just a few cracks in the nails of British capital are enough for some people to make money. These people can make money by relying on British capital. British capital also consciously supports some Xiangjiang people to consolidate their rule, and these supported businessmen, Naturally, I chose to mix with British capital and support British capital in all aspects.

As for the ownership of Hong Kong, businessmen who were supported by British capital had no other choice but to support the British if they wanted to prevent their own businesses from being affected.

However, with so many people in contact, naturally this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Not to mention that it was spread everywhere, but in the upper class society, anyone who was not uninformed knew about it.

"Sheng Bao, thank you for the reminder. I'll treat you to tea next time."

Lin Baicheng ended the call with Bao Yugang. Just now, Bao Yugang called and told him that Li Pengfei had contacted many people to target him. Although Lin Baicheng is now the richest man in Hong Kong, his foundation is shallow after all, and he cannot compare with established wealthy families such as Bao Yugang in terms of connections.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Baicheng contacted Qin Lan and informed Qin Lan of the incident and asked the secretariat to think about how to deal with it.

…

Li Pengfei's movements were still very fast, and he started the operation the next day.

That morning, a large number of newspapers reported the speeches of elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong. All of them supported Li Pengfei's remarks of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", and many people said they would follow Li Pengfei to visit the mainland.

In addition to supporting Li Pengfei's remarks, he also criticized Lin Baicheng's "one country, two systems". However, some people said very unpleasant things, saying that Lin Baicheng sold Xiangjiang to the mainland for his own wealth; some people spoke more tactfully, obviously not wanting to offend Lin Baicheng too much.

But no matter which one they are, they are all criticisms of "one country, two systems". There are many of them, and all of them are elites and have considerable influence in their respective fields.

Coupled with the simultaneous reporting by various newspapers, the two superpositions created a very large influence.

The general public is the easiest to be influenced. Naturally, many people will believe what these people say and think there is something wrong with Lin Baicheng, which will have a bad impact on Lin Baicheng's reputation.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Baicheng to have no reaction at all.

That afternoon, senior executives from various companies under Lin Baicheng's name stood up to fight back and criticized their remarks, and their influence was also considerable.

The next day, Chinese businessmen who had business dealings with Lin Baicheng's companies also came forward to speak. Although some of them did not criticize the statement of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", they were very supportive of "one country, two systems" and lined up with Lin Baicheng.

In addition, some people who were close to Lin Baicheng also came forward to speak out, especially Huo Yingdong and other people who already supported the mainland. They had the same position as Lin Baicheng, so naturally they now stood up to help Lin Baicheng.

The result of this is that the upper echelons of Hong Kong seem to have suddenly divided into two camps. One side supports Lin Baicheng's "one country, two systems", and the other side supports Li Pengfei's "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong".

If you observe carefully, you will find that there are supporters of China and England on both sides of the line. This is a stand and voice for Xiangjiang, and it is no longer Lin Baicheng's alone.

Faced with this situation, the Hong Kong government seemed to not exist and did not intervene at all, allowing the two sides to fight against each other.

Lin Baicheng has not been idle these days. He has gone to the stage to elaborate on his "one country, two systems" remarks at various public occasions, telling the people of Hong Kong about the benefits that this policy can bring to them.

Lin Baicheng did not just talk to the media. During this period, he continued to use the charity foundation he established to do charity. While gaining a good reputation, he also publicized his remarks, and the effect was remarkable. He spent real money and bought a lot of things for charity, and he was merciful. Those who benefited would naturally say good things to him, and those who did not benefit would also subconsciously have a good impression of him.

For Lin Baicheng, these efforts are priceless, because the charity fund he established was originally intended to do good things. It is nothing more than doing more and bigger things during this period, that's all.

After these days of hard work, Lin Baicheng himself has been criticized less and less. What has been targeted is the "one country, two systems" speech, which has not had such a great impact on Lin Baicheng himself.

To put it bluntly, even if Li Pengfei and the others win in the end and get more Hong Kong people to support them, it will not have much impact on Lin Baicheng himself. It is just that the people of Hong Kong support the statement of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", and Lin Baicheng's own reputation will not be Being affected, at least he will not be considered by the people of Xiangjiang as a Xiangjiang person who has deviated from the position of the Xiangjiang people and is not one of their own.

As long as his reputation is not affected and he is not disliked by the general public in Hong Kong, it will not have a bad impact on Lin Baicheng himself and his business.

At this time, Lin Baicheng could escape temporarily and no longer had to charge forward.

However, although he no longer has to charge forward, Lin Baicheng is not willing to give up, and he will not be happy if anyone is troubled for no reason.

Of course, the first person Lin Baicheng wanted to take revenge on was Li Pengfei. However, Li Pengfei was now in a position of great influence and received too much attention. Lin Baicheng found it difficult to take action at the moment, so he could only let Li Pengfei go for the time being and look for opportunities later. However, those who wave the flag and shout are not as influential as Li Pengfei. Killing a few chickens to show the monkeys can also let the outside world know that Lin Baicheng is not someone to be trifled with.

The Secretariat has been doing this, screening targets.

Lin Baicheng just needs to make the final decision.
