Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

While Bao Zixuan and other Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang were chatting in the side hall, the main hall of Huo Mansion was extremely busy. Although the living room of the Huo family is very big, it is just a living room no matter how big it is. President Li of Xinhua News Agency and Youde will definitely meet, this

It is inevitable. Both of them were engaged in diplomatic work before and knew each other well.

Youde's ability to serve as the governor of Hong Kong has a lot to do with his diplomatic background. The British high-level officials knew that in the 1980s, China would definitely launch a plan for the return of Hong Kong. The prerequisite for a peaceful settlement of the Hong Kong issue was to negotiate with the United Kingdom. In this regard, Youde

With rich experience, he is the most suitable candidate.

After all, Youde has been dealing with China for a long time, which can be traced back to the negotiation of the Amethyst incident. He knows a lot of people in mainland China. It may be that he has been engaged in diplomatic work for too long, resulting in some lack of experience in local management.

; This also leaves no good solution to Hong Kong’s economic chaos.

Youde: "I heard that President Li has been very busy recently and often visits famous Chinese people in Hong Kong."

Everyone is well aware of the placement of spies around Xinhua News Agency, but they just turn a blind eye or close one eye. Unexpectedly, Yoder directly said today what he was going to do. He still wanted to give a warning to the public demonstration.

China mainland.

This is not a hundred years ago, and Britain is not in the period of the British Empire. Hong Kong will definitely return, and it is understandable for fellow Chinese to communicate with each other. Youde is a little restless and wants to cause damage.

President Li is also an old man on the diplomatic front. How could he be easily intimidated by Youde? In fact, he did not shy away from visiting famous Chinese people and did it openly. The British did not dare to stop it and had no reason to stop it.

President Li said with a smile: "Sir Youde, are you too nervous? No wonder Hong Kong's economic development has been lagging behind in recent times. It turns out that Sir Youde's attention is focused on us Chinese, and he is not so concerned about how to develop the economy. This

That’s not right, you should focus on how to develop Hong Kong’s economy instead of just focusing on Xinhua News Agency.”

"Hong Kong has such a good foundation; there are many well-known companies; there are countless entrepreneurs. Sir Youde, please don't waste resources. If Hong Kong's economy is still in turmoil, you will be a sinner."

"Maybe it has something to do with Sir Yoder's background. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I am also a diplomat, and I am really a layman on how to develop the economy. It seems that I will not be as happy as Sir Yoder in this life, and I can only work on the diplomatic front.

Serve the country."

Hearing that President Li was questioning his ability to govern, Youde certainly couldn't bear it. The economic turmoil in Hong Kong was not caused by the unclear outcome of the negotiations between China and Britain. Without China's participation, there would have been so many problems in Hong Kong.

However, it is said that Xiangjiang is also Chinese territory, and it is understandable that China wants to take it back. The British cannot say much in this regard, otherwise it will destroy the territorial integrity of other countries, which is a taboo in international diplomacy.

Youde is not good at economic development, but when it comes to talking with people, he may not necessarily suffer. This old guy has worked in the diplomatic service for many years and has very rich negotiation skills.

Youde: "The prosperity of Xiangjiang today is all because of the British. Without the help of the British, Xiangjiang might still be a small fishing village. I don't need to say more about this. It can be seen by comparing it with the deep sea, which is only separated by a river.

"

"The British classical economist Adam Smith published the economic masterpiece "The Wealth of Nations" as early as 1776. It can be said to be the earliest economic book in the world. Britain is the most authoritative in the world on how to develop the economy.

existence."

"If President Li is interested, I can give you a copy so that you can also learn about how to develop the regional economy. Diplomatic work is just a stage in one's resume. Only when you can instill the concept of governance into the local area will your life be more perfect."

"It doesn't matter what we did before. We must be able to do things well in every field. These are the talents that the British Empire needs. Hong Kong's economic lag is only temporary. This is an inevitable law of economic development. You have not studied relevant

Knowledge, not knowing is normal.”

President Li didn't really know how to answer what Youde said. Although he works in Xiangjiang and knows more than civil servants in Mainland China, he really hasn't done any systematic research on how to develop the economy. At present, Mainland China is still

Crossing the river by feeling the stones, in constant exploration.

However, his good professionalism and efficient emergency response allowed him to quickly find Yoder's pain points.

President Li: "I have only heard of the book The Wealth of Nations before, and I must read it if I have the opportunity. However, Sir Yoder cannot rely solely on book knowledge to govern a place, and it is also a book written 200 years ago."

"I don't think Mr. Adam Smith would have thought that economic development would change so quickly, and that various new manufacturing industries would develop so rapidly. Britain cannot always think of its past glory, as that would be very dangerous."

"This is the 20th century, not the UK when the sun never sets. You can't always look at problems from the old perspective, you must know how to keep pace with the times. Diplomats are not unsuitable for other jobs, and they can't be promoted too high all at once, without experience.

It’s easy for problems to occur. By the time you want to make adjustments, you may have already suffered heavy losses.”

Youde did not expect that President Li would react so quickly. It seems that he really underestimated him. Before, he felt that China was relatively closed and had little research on many new international things. As for economic development, it was at the level of a primary school student, so he took the National Wealth

Talk about things.

I didn’t expect that the other party could bring things back. There are still many capable people in China. When these people grow up and add the demographic dividend, it is unimaginable how much energy will explode. From this point of view, the British Empire will

It is even more difficult to retain the right to rule Xiangjiang, so we must make plans in advance. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, we may be caught off guard.

But the aura cannot be lost. He is not only representing himself, but also the entire British Empire.

Youde smiled and said: "Sometimes I really admire you Chinese people, even though you clearly don't understand. But it's hard for others to see through it when you pretend. If you weren't familiar with Chinese culture, you might really be intimidated by you."

In fact, President Li knew what was going on, and he was also reflecting on why he didn’t read more books when he had such a good opportunity to work in Xiangjiang. He had to change, not always he would be so lucky. As the president of Xinhua News Agency, he is already the most

Mainland Chinese civil servants who understand the British are still making jokes, and it seems that they need to change their strategy.

First of all, let’s take a look at the Wealth of Nations. Youde has read a lot of Chinese literary works. People know you, but you don’t know others. It’s strange that you don’t suffer when negotiating. Although China is now standing on the side of justice, it’s not always the case.

The negotiations are all related to Xiangjiang.

President Li: "What Sir Yoder said is too one-sided. Are there no such people in the UK? Everyone in the world has their own ideology. We cannot change it, we can only constantly improve ourselves."

The chat between the two people can be said to be full of sparks and hidden knives in their words. This time they came to Huo Mansion to attend the birthday banquet. They were both dignified people and smart people at the same time.

When I saw these two chatting and no one came up to say hello, weren’t they just looking for trouble?

It wasn't until dinner was about to begin that Huo Yingdong came over as the host. He smiled and said, "Seeing the two of you chatting happily, I didn't come here at the right time."

Although Youde doesn't like Huo Yingdong, today is also his 60th birthday, and he is here to attend the birthday banquet. He still has to give him the face he deserves, otherwise everyone will lose face.

Youde smiled and said: "President Li is very knowledgeable, and I benefited a lot from chatting with him."

When the host invited him to sit down, he didn't forget to ridicule himself. President Li knew that this old boy Youde didn't want to make things easier for him. So he couldn't let him get his wish. Anyway, the two of them would never be friends.

President Li: "No one can compare with Sir Edward Youde, who can formulate Hong Kong's economic strategy based on the economic perspective of The Wealth of Nations. The British have talented people, and mainland China can formulate economic plans for up to five years, but the United Kingdom can actually formulate 200 years. It seems that we need to study hard.

, there is really a big difference in this aspect.”

Although it is far-fetched, Youde is still a little unhappy. This conversation can be said to be evenly divided, but overall Youde is slightly better. President Li mainly knows too little about the British side. Youde is an out-and-out China expert. This also made President Li read British books every day after get off work. When he retired, he had become a British expert and published a book about Britain.
