Chapter 274: my opinion doesn't matter

After lunch, Li Xuan, accompanied by Mr. Huo Yingdong, visited the yet-to-be-opened White Swan Hotel. ∈↗ Vertex said, .. Looking at the slightly haggard face of the old man in front of him, you can see that this cooperation is not going well.

Therefore, Dongfang Electronics will never choose a joint venture for the factories that Dongfang Electronics Co., Ltd. plans to invest in. If the mainland cannot choose a suitable location for the factory, Li Xuan can also choose Singapore and Taiwan. If it weren't for the fact that the market for ds-000 digital program-controlled switches was mainly based on the mainland, Li Xuan would not have started a joint venture with the mainland now.

And this project to make money in the mainland, Li Xuan's consciousness is also very high. In the communication equipment factory jointly established with Huhai Electronic Industry Company, as long as he can ensure that his own interests are not damaged, he can give up his controlling rights and give up too much intervention in the management of the factory.

After drawing a big cake for a project in Guangdong, Li Xuan returned to Hong Kong by plane that afternoon. After more than a week of release, the media hype about Li Xuan, the world's richest man, finally subsided. Especially when the person concerned refused to accept a positive interview and was hard to find, many foreign journalists left Hong Kong one after another after publishing one or two special articles.

As for the local media in Hong Kong, they were caught by another major news. Margaret Thatcher, who had won the Fukushima War (Falklands War), finally set off for her most important diplomatic trip this year, going to Beijing to discuss the Hong Kong issue with Chinese leaders.

"The stock market has fallen a bit tragically recently, and it is about to fall below 800!" Xu Jiankui shook his head and said.

In fact, the Hong Kong stock market has fallen into decline as early as May, falling below 1000 from 1400 all the way. But at the end of August, Thatcher's visit to China was heated up by the Hong Kong media. I believe that Iron Maiden will definitely solve the problem of the future that hangs over the heads of all Hong Kong people. So the stock market started to rebound again. It rose back to 1150 again.

As a result, Mrs Thatcher fell on Tiananmen Square, and the second generation explicitly rejected her proposal for "sovereignty to change power". It means that the Chinese government must take back Hong Kong as a whole after 1997.

The stock market is actually a market of confidence. The Hong Kong stock market immediately began to plummet as the leaders of China and the UK had serious disagreements over the Hong Kong issue. Along with the stock market is the land market. In a land auction held by the Hong Kong government yesterday, more than 90% of the bids failed, and only one of the eleven plots was sold at a reserve price without any competition. The entire auction venue was dead silent.

"It's just the beginning, I guess it will take a while! I'll be here today, and I'll go to the Governor's Palace for a dinner tonight!" Li Xuan put the tennis racket aside and took a sip of water. Nearly an hour of exercise. Let Li Xuan sweat profusely.

"Hey, you, the newest richest man in the world, can't run away on this occasion, so I won't raise this kind of fun. It's better to go to a nightclub to pick up girls!" Xu Jiankui said with a smile. The Xu family's enterprise is still in the hands of the two uncles, and they don't have much say.

On the first stop of Thatcher's trip to the East, he was stunned. After leaving Beijing-Beijing, she went straight to Hong Kong, apparently to create momentum for the British government. Therefore, Thatcher had just arrived in Hong Kong in the morning and decided to hold a banquet at the Governor's Palace tonight to listen to the voices of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong. And Li Xuan has been in the limelight recently. This kind of dinner party with a strong political color can't be avoided even if you want to.

As night fell, the Governor's Mansion on Upper Albert Road in Central was brightly lit, and celebrities and elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong accepted the invitation. Dressed in full dress to attend the British Prime Minister's banquet. The Hong Kong Police Force has deployed thousands of police officers around the Hong Kong Governor's Office to implement the strictest security plan.

When Li Xuan arrived with his wife, there were already many guests in the banquet hall. Everyone staggered. Groups of three or five were divided into circles, chatting softly in a very gentlemanly manner.

not far away. Han Peng raised a glass to his boss and smiled. Next to him stood Sir Goldstein, the Taipan of Standard Chartered Hong Kong Bank, Yang Ling, President of Jiahua Bank, and others. The East is already an important force that the whole of Hong Kong cannot ignore. Li Xuan is not the only one invited to the dinner tonight in the Oriental Group.

Li Xuan took a glass of white wine from the waiter beside him and was about to walk towards them. But before he could take a step, a tall blond white man appeared in front of him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Li! I'm Charles Hume, the editor-in-chief of The Times. It's not easy to find you!" The Mr. Hume extended his hand very familiarly.

"Nice to meet you, editor-in-chief Hume!" Li Xuan smiled and shook hands.

"Mr. Li, you can call me Charles. Can I take this opportunity to delay you for a few minutes and give you a brief interview!" Hume asked.

"You can ask, but I hope there won't be too many questions. After all, today's theme is Mrs. Thatcher's reception dinner, and I can't overwhelm the guest!" Li Xuan said calmly since he was caught by the other party.

Charles Hume has been less than three months into the editor-in-chief of The Times. His predecessor, Harold Evans, was fired after less than a year in office after a bitter clash with his boss, Mr Murdoch, over freedom of the press.

In the past two years, The Times has not been able to get out of the shadow of the suspension of publication caused by the strike in seven or eight years, and its influence has been declining. Therefore, Charles Hume personally led the team to report on Thatcher's trip to the East. Before The Times always wanted to do another exclusive interview with Li Xuan, but unfortunately it was not able to do so.

Today, I happened to meet Li Xuan, who was posing with the dragon but not the tail. The editor-in-chief Hume had no choice but to pull his face down and put forward a request for an on-site interview. After all, it is a bit rude to make such a request on such a solemn occasion. But it's all about sales, and that's the biggest difference between Hume and his predecessor.

"Mr. Lee, the people of Hong Kong have been very concerned about the negotiations between the Chinese and British governments recently. The Chinese-Communist regime has categorically rejected our proposal to maintain the status quo that we hope to maintain Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, saying that it will definitely take back Hong Kong before 1997. As the most prominent representative of Hong Kong's business community, what are your views on this?"

Hume did not mention the issue related to Li Xuan's wealth, but closely related to the current political fever - Sino-British negotiations. This question, which involves standing in line, cannot be answered indiscriminately. Moreover, Li Xuan's popularity is actually very high. From the moment he entered the banquet hall, he has been noticed by many people. During his conversation with the editor-in-chief of The Times, a lot of people had gathered around.

Li Xuan glanced around and found that among the crowd was the editor-in-chief of "Sing Tao Daily" and "Oriental Daily", that is, what he said next may appear in Hong Kong newspapers tomorrow morning. But Li Xuan didn't panic at all, and he still had an indifferent smile on his face.

As early as when Li Xuan received the invitation, the think-tank team behind him had planned in advance how to answer a series of difficult questions that might be asked. For example, Hume's question is in the pre-judgment of the think tank.

Li Xuan was originally prepared to deal with Thatcher's possible inquiries, but since a mainstream British newspaper threw this question to him first, he just took this opportunity to clarify his position to the public. After all, in such a prominent capacity as he is now, it is only a matter of time before similar questions are asked.

"The future and destiny of Hong Kong is a major event involving the vital interests of every Hong Konger. In this matter of right and wrong, I think the amount of wealth and the level of status are not the criteria for increasing personal decision-making. Maybe my wealth is higher than that of other Hong Kong citizens. More, but that doesn't mean I can speak out as a representative of the five million people in Hong Kong.

I can only represent myself, just an ordinary member of equal rights among the five million Hong Kong citizens. I have noticed that Mrs Thatcher invited elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong society tonight, but I also hope that the Prime Minister will listen more to the voices of ordinary citizens who make up the majority of Hong Kong's population during his stay in Hong Kong.

The views expressed by everyone present can only represent themselves and have no right to represent others. The opinions of hundreds of people tonight are only a very inconspicuous part of Hong Kong's total population of five million! So whether I agree or disagree, it's just one vote out of five million. The voice of the majority of Hong Kong citizens deserves the attention of the Chinese and British governments! "Li Xuan's tone is calm and authentic~www.readwn.com~ This is a reply designed by a think tank to Li Xuan. The British government has always implemented meritocracy in Hong Kong, that is, it uses a handful of Chinese to govern most other Chinese. For example, the New Territories To this day, there are still gentry institutions such as Heung Yee Kuk, which are responsible for communicating with the aborigines on behalf of the Hong Kong government.

One person, one vote is the core of the Western democratic spirit. But Hong Kong has never held any formal political elections in the 150 years under British rule. The so-called members of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council are directly appointed by the Hong Kong government and the Governor, not elected.

So Li Xuan's best excuse is that he can't represent other Hong Kong people besides himself. If his opinion is just an ordinary vote among five million people, then no matter how he chooses, it doesn't make much sense. In this way, Li Xuan can not only avoid focusing on himself, but also cater to most ordinary Hong Kong people.

"Mr. Li, you still didn't answer my question directly!" Hume said reluctantly.

"Is my opinion important?" Li Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think it matters! You have to ask, I can only give you this answer, that is, I am willing to stand with the majority of Hong Kong citizens. , support their voices!" (To be continued..)
