Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

A week later.

The visiting delegation organized by Li Pengfei returned to Hong Kong in despair. Mainland high-level officials did not see them at all. They did not even have a chance to talk about the prospects of Hong Kong.

This incident caused quite a stir.

Before the trip to the Mainland, Li Pengfei and others carried out high-profile publicity, but the result was that they did not even meet the Mainland high-level officials, let alone petition for the people of Xiangjiang.

In this way, no matter how high-profile they were before, how big the backlash will be when they come back.

Of course, there are also some bad voices in Hong Kong regarding the mainland officials, that is, the mainland officials simply ignore the wishes of the people in Xiangjiang and do not care what they think.

After all, mainland officials did not meet Li Pengfei and others, and did not even listen to what they said. This attitude was considered by some thoughtful people to be a disregard for the people of Xiangjiang.

Fortunately, there is also Lin Baicheng's trip to the mainland. If Lin Baicheng's visit to the mainland is not received by the mainland's top officials, then this voice will definitely be louder and even spread throughout Hong Kong. After all, the visiting delegation formed by Lin Baicheng and Li Pengfei represents the people of Hong Kong. They communicate with the high-level officials in the mainland for the benefit of the people of Hong Kong and convey the ideas of the people of Hong Kong.

But if Li Pengfei's delegation is ignored and Lin Baicheng's delegation is received, then it has nothing to do with the mainland officials, but the problem of Li Pengfei and others.

After Li Pengfei and others returned to Xiangjiang, Lin Baicheng began to communicate with some people who had agreed long ago to once again determine the candidates for the mainland and prepare for the mainland visit.

During this visit to the Mainland, the delegation organized by Lin Baicheng represented the people of Hong Kong and discussed "one country, two systems" with the Mainland high-level officials. It was not a business inspection or private visit, so it was more formal.

April 11, 1981.

Lin Baicheng and his party of nearly twenty people left Xiangjiang by boat and headed for the mainland.

Lin Baicheng knew most of the people in this group. After all, they were all staunch supporters of the Mainland. They had met them at some previous gatherings, but there were also a few whom Lin Baicheng had just met.

If the visiting delegation organized by Li Pengfei represents Britain and people from all walks of life who are close to the British side, then the visiting delegation organized by Lin Baicheng represents the mainland and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong who are close to the mainland.

Among them, the business community is the main one.

After all, Xiangjiang has been under British rule for many years, and is no different from capitalist countries. Capital has the greatest influence, so most of the truly influential people are business people.

People from other walks of life either have rich families, which gives them great influence in their fields. Either you have strong abilities, have a major influence in your field, and then make a lot of money. The two complement each other.

The business people visiting the mainland may not necessarily be among the richest in Hong Kong, but their companies must have a very large influence in the industry they operate, and can even be said to have a monopoly position, so that they are significant.

More than an hour later, Lin Baicheng and others arrived in Shekou.

Lin Baicheng and others did not inspect in Shekou, but directly boarded the special train.

Mainland officials attached great importance to the visiting delegation composed of Lin Baicheng and others. They not only arranged a special train, but also had high-ranking leaders to pick them up and take them to Peking.

When Li Pengfei and others went to Peking, they did not receive such treatment.

This is the difference between oneself and the enemy.

It was already a day before we arrived in Peking.

This was not the first time that Lin Baicheng came here, but this time the person responsible for receiving their group was at a higher level than the one who originally received him. Lin Baicheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The last time he came for a private visit, this time he organized a delegation for an official visit, and he also represented the people of Xiangjiang, at least in name.

Lin Baicheng and his party received a grand reception.

Seven days later, Lin Baicheng and his party boarded the train leaving Peiping with great satisfaction.

During these days, the visiting delegation was received by the leaders,

At the same time, we recognize each of them and thank them for their contribution to safeguarding the reunification of the motherland. The people and the country will remember their contributions.

The mainland official's positive reply allowed Lin Baicheng and others to explain to the people in Hong Kong, especially those who supported them, after they returned to Hong Kong.

Of course, this is also a good thing for the mainland officials. It can gain more support from the people of Hong Kong and is conducive to the smooth reception of Hong Kong by the mainland officials. This is very important.

As soon as Lin Baicheng and others set foot on Xiangjiang, they saw a large number of reporters.

"Lin Sheng, during this trip to the mainland, did you meet with the top officials from the mainland?"

"Lin Sheng, do you have anything to say about this visit to the mainland?"

"Lin Sheng, what do the mainland's senior officials think of the 'one country, two systems' you proposed?"

"..."

In fact, Lin Baicheng was not the only one who was asked, but Lin Baicheng was the nominal leader of the delegation, and since he was the richest man in Hong Kong, he was more topical, so more reporters asked him questions.

"This visit to the mainland was very successful."

Lin Baicheng said: "The high-level officials have promised that the system will not be changed after Xiangjiang's return and that people's private property will not be infringed upon. They are also very supportive of 'one country, two systems'. Specifically, our delegation will hold a press conference later to announce this visit to the outside world. Details, and answers to some questions that everyone is concerned about.”

After speaking, at Lin Baicheng's signal, the arriving bodyguards separated the reporters, allowing Lin Baicheng and his party to leave smoothly.

After Lin Baicheng greeted some people in the visiting group, he got into the extended Lincoln and left.

"Did anything major happen in Xiangjiang while I was away?"

In the car, Lin Baicheng asked his personal secretary Chen Huixiang, who was sitting opposite him.

Chen Huixiang shook her head: "Back to Mr. Lin, nothing big happened."

"That's good."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

Naturally, the big things that concern Lin Baicheng are not small. It is normal that no big things happen. After all, Xiangjiang is not the center of the world.

The next morning.

The visiting delegation held a press conference to answer some questions from reporters and explain the results of the visit.

After "one country, two systems" is affirmed, for the vast majority of Xiangjiang citizens, they will no longer reject Xiangjiang being taken back by the mainland, at least not as before.

Thanks to the propaganda of the Hong Kong government, the people of Hong Kong are all aware of the situation in the mainland. They know that life in the mainland is very poor. Naturally, everyone does not want to live that kind of life.

Although the lower-class citizens in Xiangjiang may not necessarily live a good life, compared with the current lower-class people in the Mainland, their lives are indeed better. At least the citizens of Xiangjiang will not be reduced to starvation.

With the return of Xiangjiang, their property can be guaranteed, which is enough for the people at the bottom of Xiangjiang.

Wanting more rights or privileges is the idea of ​​some upper-class people in Xiangjiang. It has nothing to do with the people at the bottom of Xiangjiang. They are usually represented without knowing it, as if they are greedy and want more. In fact, it is someone who wants more rights or privileges. These people are just looking for their own benefit.

Of course, the visits to the mainland by Lin Baicheng and others cannot change the minds of some people. Thanks to the Hong Kong government's propaganda in recent years, many people are still worried about the mainland's official orders changing overnight. Therefore, they still stand firm and have even prepared Hong Kong plans. If it is taken back by the mainland, we will immigrate and leave Hong Kong.

Lin Baicheng and others' visit to the mainland was successful, and with the publicity, the influence was not small.

…

That afternoon, Lin Baicheng was invited to play golf at the invitation of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

Someone was originally there to accompany him when he was playing, but MacLehose asked everyone else to leave.

"Sir, what do you want to tell me?"

Lin Baicheng asked aloud. Unless he had something to say, there was no need to expel the person.

Mailihao nodded: "Lin Sheng, your visit to the mainland this time has made many people unhappy."

"But over there in London?"

Lin Baicheng was mentally prepared for this.

"There are also some in Hong Kong, but mainly in London."

Mailihao said: "Lin Sheng, you should know that MI6, the British intelligence department, has an office in Hong Kong due to the special situation of Hong Kong. Your visit to the mainland and your past information have been disclosed by MI6. Reported to the top."

"Didn't you report it before?"

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised. What surprised him was that as the richest man in Hong Kong, he had previously sided with the mainland. As long as MI6 was not blind, there was no reason not to investigate him.

"There should be, but I don't know the details. After all, although I am the governor of Hong Kong, I can't control MI6."

Mailihao shook his head and said: "The reason why I know this time is

Lin Baicheng hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that it would implicate Jazz. I'm really sorry."

"This matter won't have much impact on me, Lin Sheng, you don't have to worry."

Mai Lihao waved his hand: "But this time I have been warned by the superiors. I am afraid that I will not be able to provide help to you, Lin Sheng, in the future, especially when you have a struggle with British capital. Lin Sheng, I am very worried." Feel sorry."

"Don't worry, Jazz. This has nothing to do with you. You are also under a lot of pressure."

Lin Baicheng expressed relief, but his heart was quite heavy. Although MacLehose did not strongly support him before, he did not let the British capital dominate others. In fact, it was providing him with help in disguise. In the future, once MacLehose becomes neutral and will no longer provide him with help, he will face the British capital. When you are short of capital, you will definitely be at a disadvantage, which is not a good thing.

Mailihao looked at Lin Baicheng and said, "Lin Sheng, over there in London, you look very dazzling."

"Lin Sheng, you should be very clear about the importance of Xiangjiang. It is absolutely impossible for England to give up easily."

"Now China and Britain have begun negotiations on the ownership of Hong Kong. This process will definitely be very long, at least one or two years."

"Since it is a negotiation, we naturally need bargaining chips. The support of people like you, Lin Sheng, to the mainland is a bargaining chip that is beneficial to China. If you do this, you will definitely be targeted by the British, and Lin Sheng, you must be the top priority."

"So Lin Sheng, you have to consider the stakes clearly. If you take a step back now, given your strength, it's not too late."

MacLehose not only reminded Lin Baicheng as a 'friend', but also secretly threatened Lin Baicheng as the governor of Hong Kong, making Lin Baicheng understand the danger.

"Sir, some things can only be advanced but not retreated. I appreciate your kindness."

Lin Baicheng gave his answer directly. At the beginning, he knew that his strength was limited and he did not dare to participate in such things.

But as his strength continued to grow, and with the layout of the United States, Japan and other countries, Lin Baicheng gradually became bolder. Whether it was out of inner thoughts or for the sake of getting rewards in the future, Lin Baicheng stood more firmly on the mainland and even went to the stage to give greater support.

Lin Baicheng had certainly thought about the consequences of this.

The first is the most serious aspect of life safety. Lin Baicheng has his own bodyguard team. He believes that the mainland will also send people to secretly protect him. This can prevent him from being assassinated as much as possible, not to mention that the British side may not go to this step.

There is no need to worry about personal safety, then the focus is on business.

In addition to his businesses in England and Hong Kong, Lin Baicheng does not have to worry about suppression from the British side for his businesses in other places. After all, England is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets dozens or hundreds of years ago, and its influence is no longer that great.

The businesses in England and Hong Kong, especially in Xiangjiang, were run by Lin Baicheng as his basic business. Companies in the two places were targeted and suppressed, which naturally had a considerable negative impact on Lin Baicheng.

However, enterprises in England and Hong Kong do not account for a very large proportion of Lin Baicheng's business scale. Currently, the real bulk of his business lies in the United States and Japan. The suppression of enterprises in Hong Kong will inevitably cause him a lot of losses. But it wasn't to the point of breaking his muscles and bones, and he could fully bear it.

In this way, Lin Baicheng naturally dared to stand in front of the stage and provide greater support to the mainland. The greater his support now and the greater the pressure he faces from the British, the greater the rewards he will receive in the future.

What's more, as a Chinese, Lin Baicheng also hopes that the motherland can be unified and become stronger.

"Lin Sheng, you should know one thing very well. I will leave office soon. The next governor of Hong Kong will not be as easy to talk to you as I am."

MacLehose reminded aloud that with his criminal record, the British side would definitely not allow the next Hong Kong Governor to collude with Lin Baicheng. If he accepts Lin Baicheng's benefits, Lin Baicheng's situation will inevitably be more difficult.

"Thanks for the reminder, Sir."

Lin Baicheng was still mentally prepared for this.

Later, Maliho hinted that the cooperation between the two could continue. Lin Baicheng supported him to take further steps after returning to England, and he would try his best to help Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng naturally agreed. Apart from anything else, it was still more than a year before Mai Lihao left office, and he still needed Mai Lihao's support. If MacLehose, the governor of Hong Kong, did not come forward to suppress him, it would not be a support to him.
