Reborn Tycoon Rise

During the Sino-British negotiations, China and the UK held countless negotiations to compete for the sovereignty of Hong Kong. The entire Hong Kong was in turmoil. Many times, a rumor or a word from a big boss would cause billions of Hong Kong dollars in fluctuations in the capital market. In this storm, the former predators have become delicacies and can no longer control the Hong Kong stock market as they wish.

In January 1983, affected by the uncertain future of Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell to 663 points, returning to the level of ten years ago. Some interest groups decided not to serve as flags, but intended to become chess players. They proposed a 5 million In the interests of the people of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang should also send a delegation to participate in Sino-British negotiations.

The biggest supporter of this plan is Hong Kong Governor Youde. He has already sent the proposal to Downing Street and received approval. The last step now is to form an influential team to put pressure on the mainland.

"Participate in Sino-British negotiations for the benefit of the people of Hong Kong!"

This idea may sound reasonable, but in fact it is full of conspiracy!

At the moment, the mainland government's policies towards Hong Kong can be said to be almost responsive, with various trade tilts and economic support emerging one after another.

Any business tycoon or political congressman who goes to the capital will be received by high-level officials of the central government. The level of hospitality is much higher than that of people of the same level in other countries. Any request made, as long as it does not involve issues of principle, will be accepted. will be carefully considered.

Therefore, if it is for the future of Xiangjiang or the interests of the people of Xiangjiang, you only need to go to the capital or contact the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan offices to achieve your goals.

On the other hand, what level of meeting is the Sino-British negotiation?

This is a meeting between the sovereignty of two countries. For any party to appear on this table, the subject must be a country.

A small island country in the Pacific, no matter how small it is and how poor its economy, it is still a sovereign country, equal to the United States, Britain, Germany and middle-level countries in terms of hierarchy.

No matter how developed California's economy is, even if it is known as the seventh largest economy in the world, it will not be able to participate in the United Nations General Assembly.

By the same token, in national-level negotiations like the Sino-British negotiations, does the Xiangjiang delegation participate? What kind of?

This is the sinister intention of the British. On the surface, it is for Hong Kong, but in fact it is to force the mainland government. Naturally, the mainland government will not agree to such a request.

Once the request is rejected, ordinary people will not understand the meaning behind it. They will only think that the mainland does not care about ordinary people in Hong Kong. In addition, after all, Hong Kong is still in charge of the British Hong Kong government, and a large part of the media is still controlled by the government. Under special control , can easily cause people to panic and cause social unrest, and the British negotiating team can take this opportunity to put pressure on the mainland to confirm the so-called "Hong Kong must be managed by the British."

All of this is just a conspiracy, and those chosen to participate in this incident are basically a group of cannon fodder without political minds.

In the original history, many well-known businessmen participated in this matter stupidly. These people were extremely smart in the shopping mall, but they were used stupidly and naively.

Of course Xu Zhi would not participate in this kind of thing. As a Chinese, of course he supports the country to take back Xiangjiang, but what kind of people do what kind of things? He is a businessman and cannot participate in politics. When two regimes collide, the smartest strategy is to avoid them completely without offending them.

The banquet officially started soon.

Under the support of all the stars, Sir Edward Youde, the Governor of Hong Kong, stepped onto the stage and described Britain's foreign policy towards Hong Kong in a very humorous tone.

Sir Youde was born in 1924. During World War II, he served as the diplomatic ambassador to China in the Mainland. In the entire British bureaucracy, he can be said to be one of the officials who knows the Chinese best. This is why after MacLehose, Downing Street A man with a diplomat background was sent to serve as the governor of Hong Kong just for the upcoming Sino-British negotiations.

After the speech, Yoder met with government officials and business figures who participated in the cocktail party and described his policies to them.

"Xu Sheng, you are one of the most influential Chinese people in Xiangjiang. I think it is very suitable for you to participate in the Sino-British negotiations as the representative of Xiangjiang this time." After completing the official etiquette with Xu Zhi , Yoder said directly.

In order to increase the persuasiveness of this time, the Youde team decided to make all members of the "Hong Kong delegation" Chinese. In this way, at least on the surface, the British side seemed fair. They did not participate in the delegation, or even We also invited some people who had been to the capital in previous years to meet with senior central officials.

Xu Zhi shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty the Governor, I am just a businessman. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I can maintain the normal order in Xiangjiang, it is enough for me."

Youde smiled and said: "The reason why Xiangjiang has developed to its current level of prosperity is because it is under the management of our British Empire. If it is taken over by the mainland government, wouldn't Xu Sheng be worried about his own industry?"

Xu Zhidao: “The mainland government has begun to carry out reform and opening up, and has also established diplomatic relations with Western countries, and has legislated to recognize the social status of overseas capitalists.

Besides, Xiangjiang plays an extremely important role for the mainland. Otherwise, the mainland would have liberated Xiangjiang 30 years ago, and I don’t think any smart person would do it. "

Youde made it clear that he was trying to trick him, so Xu Zhi was certainly not polite and refused outright. What's more, what Youde said were all false propositions. The reason why Xiangjiang can be so prosperous is not only its advantageous geographical location. , the most important point is that before the reform and opening up, Xiangjiang was the only window for the entire mainland market to the outside world.

Even if the country is closed, it will still do some trade with Western countries, even if it is only a very small proportion, it is enough to feed a city.

As for whether refusing would offend Youde, it was a bit unfounded. Many of the people present were smart people, and they would refuse to be the first person for various reasons, as long as they did not lose face in public.

Youde continued: "Xu Sheng, this is an opportunity to fight for the interests of the people of Xiangjiang, and also to make all the people of Xiangjiang grateful to you. You are the youngest entrepreneur in Xiangjiang. I think all the people of Xiangjiang will agree that by You do this."

Xu Zhi shook his head and smiled: "The so-called representatives are actually not representatives recognized by the people of Xiangjiang, right? Who can represent the 5 million people of Xiangjiang? This is probably just wishful thinking."

After hearing this, Youde frowned and said: "Although I am British, I am also the governor of Hong Kong. For me, the future of Hong Kong is the most important. There is absolutely no selfishness in everything I do. Do I know this?" Few Chinese people don’t believe this, so the delegation I organized this time is all Chinese.”

"Your Excellency, the Governor of Hong Kong, my company has a lot of things going on recently, so I'm afraid I don't have time to do this." Xu Zhi shook his head and refused.

Youde looked at Xu Zhi, nodded and said: "Okay, Xu Sheng, I sincerely hope you can join in. If you change your mind, you can inform me at any time."

"Okay." Xu Zhi agreed.
