Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Just as Yang Chen finished speaking, Mother Xue who came out of the kitchen with something happened to hear her, "What do you want to arrange for us?"

Seeing Mother Xue carrying a big plate, Yang Chen quickly got up and walked to Mother Xue, took over the sweet and sour fish she had prepared, and said, "Uncle said, he wants to take you to the ring after he retires." I am envious of traveling around the world and tasting food from all over the world.”

"He's retired?" Mother Xue turned her head to look at her wife, then shook her head and said, "Your uncle, his whole life, unless he can't work that day, how can he be willing to retire."

"But uncle just told me that he has decided to retire after the new year, and asked me to make arrangements for you."

"Really?" Mother Xue couldn't believe it when she heard the words.

Mother Xue looked at her wife in surprise, obviously wanting to see what Father Xue had to say, but Father Xue did not respond, but focused on the sweet and sour fish on the table.

"Stinky boy, you are really talented, now you even dare to lie to your aunt." Mother Xue hit Yang Chen's arm angrily, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, she urged: "Hurry up, let's go to the kitchen to help carry something."

……

"Uncle and aunt, Yu Fei, come on, let's toast first."

"Let's cheers to a happy new year."

"Cheers, happy new year..."

After toasting, Yang Chen didn't sit down, but stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to move their chopsticks and listen to him.

"Listen to me first"

"Auntie, Yufei"

"There is a big news to announce next"

Seeing this, Xue Yufei obediently put down her chopsticks.

"What big news?"

Yang Chen looked at Father Xue who was at the side, and asked, "Uncle, is it up to you to say this yourself, or should I say it for you?"

Father Xue picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it in Mother Xue's bowl, "It's the same for everyone, so tell me!"

"Okay, then I said it"

"Say it quickly..."

Seeing that Yang Chen was dawdling, Xue Yufei couldn't help urging her.

Yang Chen didn't intend to whet his appetite, and said directly: "Uncle just told me that he is going to retire after the new year, and he will hand over Xue's manufacturing industry to you, and then he will take his aunt to travel around the world."

"Auntie, I really didn't lie to you just now. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle yourself. He has already planned it."

Xue Yufei was taken aback after hearing this, and then asked, "Retire? Dad, are you really planning to retire? When did you decide? Why don't I know?"

"It's true. When was it decided? It's been a while. You don't know. That's because I just told Ah Chen that when you look at Xue's manufacturing industry after the New Year, you will take it over by yourself, or find someone else to take it over." Now, you and Ah Chen decide this matter, I don’t care about anything in the future, you just need to keep the signboard for me.”

"It's not easy for your mother to be busy at home all these years. I want to go out and have a look around now while your mother and I are not too old to walk."

"Your mother has never left Xiangjiang before. If you don't go out now, after a few years, we may want to go out, and we won't have the energy..."

Chapter 936 Good News

From the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, Yang Chen, like everyone else, spent every day in eating and drinking. After paying New Year's greetings to his father-in-law, Yang Chen immediately started to pay New Year's greetings to Huo Daheng and his fellow bosses.

Now the entire Xiangjiang can count on one hand that Boss Yang personally came to pay New Year's greetings, so this year's celebration is quite easy.

Yang Chen's life is easy here, but some people's life is not so good.

For Yang Chen's matter, Youde had more than ten phone calls with Downing Street, and finally made a trip to London in person to confirm the matter.

The prosperity and stability of Xiangjiang, in the eyes of many people, does not seem to be of great benefit to the UK. The return of Xiangjiang has become an unchangeable fact, and it seems that there is no need for the UK to promote these things.

But is this really the case?

In fact, it is not the case. Think about who owns the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars.HSBC Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, these two banks have the right to issue banknotes in Hong Kong dollars, and both banks are British capitals. Later generations believe that Hong Kong’s economy is controlled by the four Chinese families. In fact, Hong Kong’s economy has always been controlled in In the hands of financial institutions such as HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Hong Kong's economic development is good, and the society is stable and prosperous. It may not be a problem for the British government, but it will be of great benefit to the British consortia and British businessmen in Hong Kong.

As a capitalist country, Britain naturally needs to consider the interests of its own consortia and businessmen. In the early days, Britain wanted to make money from the Chinese for its domestic businessmen, but it did not hesitate to launch the infamous Opium War and dumped opium to the Qing Dynasty. .

Yang Chen's plan can also promote Xiangjiang's economic development.

Yang Chen's investment is so big, and if he wins, there will be no benefits.Losing will not have much impact on Xiangjiang and Britain.

Although Downing Street did not object to Yang Chen's plan, he still couldn't help but be envious of Yang Chen's investment plan of investing hundreds of billions of dollars in Xiangjiang.

In order to gain some benefits from it, Downing Street specially recruited You De to tell him that when Yang Chen invests, the projects he chooses will be as inclined as possible to British companies.

The British privatization reform has already achieved results. The next step to consider is how to make these private companies profitable. Whether it is the market or capital, the British government is thinking about domestic companies.

After returning from London, the first thing Youde did was to visit Boss Yang directly.

"Mr. Yang, I hope that my presumptuous visit didn't disturb you." As for Yang Chen's villa, it's not the first time Youde has been here, and he is very familiar with it.

Yang Chen said: "It's my blessing that the Governor-General can visit the humble house, and I can't talk about disturbing it, and I have a hunch that the Governor-General should have sent me good news."

Youde said with a smile: "I have to say, Mr. Yang, your hunch is really as accurate as ever."

"Really?" Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but said: "Then should I open a bottle of champagne, and celebrate with the governor first?"

Youde said: "This is a must. You have to prepare the best champagne to entertain me. You must know that for your sake, I have not had a very good year."

Yang Chen called Youde to sit down in the living room, and casually said, "Your Governor also celebrates our Chinese festival?"

Youde said: "Do as the Romans do, you know, as a diplomat, the most basic thing is to understand the local culture, learn to understand and even recognize different cultures."

Since Youde's former Governor MacLehose, the next two Governors of Xiangjiang served as Governors of Xiangjiang as diplomats.

Compared with politicians, diplomats are not so thoughtful. Yang Chen can still accept a diplomat-born governor like Youde, after all, they have really done a lot for Xiangjiang.

The last governor of Xiangjiang with a political background can be said to be the most disgusting one. The other party almost single-handedly pushed the relationship between the inland and the United Kingdom into the abyss, and at the same time left Xiangjiang with a lot of mess.

Yang Chen remembered that this Governor Youde seemed to pass away suddenly due to a heart attack this year. His death made him the only governor in the history of Xiangjiang who died during his term of office.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help mourning for this old man.

Heart disease, to be honest, there is really no way to deal with it, and when it occurs is beyond human control.

Especially as the governor, Youde works long hours every day and has a heavy workload. It is undoubtedly quite a luxury to want to rest.

"Lianmei, help me get the bottle of champagne that Mr. Shen gave me when he came to me last time."

Youde's visit this time did bring good news to Yang Chen. For Yang Chen's plan, London chose to support it, and at the same time asked Youde to give Yang Chen some support.
