Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Zhuge Lin had posed a huge problem to Alande.

If you don't agree, you have to transfer troops from outside.

Agreeing to it is equivalent to acknowledging the superior status of his company, and it will be difficult to control him in the future.

For a moment, Alande was unable to make a decision.

All politicians pass the buck, so he picked up the phone and called the governor, letting him make the decision!

In fact, Alande was inclined to agree in his heart.

Politicians have plenty of ways to deal with their opponents. The Governor-General's Office is the rule maker and will always find an opportunity to settle scores.

About half an hour later, Alande received a reply letter, which said that they did not agree to compromise and wanted to send a large army to seek revenge.

The butt determines the head. Aland only considers the reality, while the superiors look at the overall situation.

The impact of this incident is too bad. If it is not severely punished, where is the dignity of the country of gentlemen?

In fact, this is understandable. The gentleman's country has too many colonies. If there is trouble, it will compromise. What if other places follow suit?

We must kill chickens and monkeys!

Zhuge Lin shrugged and said indifferently,

"I wish you a successful start! Goodbye!"

TA company was preparing to withdraw its investment, and from the moment the negotiations broke down, a large number of factories began to move north.

As the shadow of war loomed over the city, people began to panic.

In just half a day, more than 6 people poured into Bao'an County.

At first, Hu Zhenhua just wanted to fight for some rights and interests for the people, but now, he wants to intercept!

In Hong Kong's economy, re-export trade occupies a dominant position.

This has to do with history.

After the British occupied Hong Kong, they transformed it into a "free port," serving as a transit point for imports and exports between the West and mainland China. For a long time before 1949, while Hong Kong had some supporting businesses like shipping, finance, and insurance, its core business remained entrepot trade. Before World War II, Hong Kong experienced two brief manufacturing booms, but both were short-lived and limited in scale, and manufacturing had yet to become the dominant sector of the economy.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Hong Kong's entrepot trade was further consolidated due to changes in the international situation and its unique status. At the time, with the mainland under Western blockade, Hong Kong became a crucial window for China to connect with the world, with a large volume of goods imported and exported through Hong Kong. This situation persisted until the early 20s, when the Korean Peninsula War erupted and the United Nations imposed a trade embargo, which dealt a significant blow to Hong Kong's entrepot trade.

From then on, Hong Kong's economy entered its second stage: industrialization began from the 20s to the 50s.

In addition to trade embargoes, international trade protectionism also began to rise, impacting re-export trade. At the same time, a large number of people poured into Hong Kong, providing sufficient labor for Hong Kong's industrial development.

During this period, labor-intensive industries such as textiles, garments, and electronics rose rapidly, becoming important pillars of Hong Kong's economy. This industrial development also fueled the rise of related service industries, such as finance, transportation, and trade.

In the 20s, with the advancement of reform and opening up in mainland China, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry began to shift inland, primarily to neighboring regions such as Guangdong Province. Lower labor costs and more abundant land resources in the mainland attracted a large number of Hong Kong manufacturing companies.

This third stage can be summarized as: the rise of the service industry and the northward shift of manufacturing (20s-80s):

During this period, Hong Kong's industrial structure gradually shifted towards a service-oriented economy, with rapid growth in finance, real estate, trade, logistics, tourism, and other service sectors. Hong Kong became an international financial center and commercial hub, with the financial services industry gaining increasing prominence. Simultaneously, the real estate market boomed, and commercial activity flourished.

With the ever-changing global economic landscape and the rapid technological revolution, Hong Kong faces new opportunities and challenges. At the same time, some existing problems in Hong Kong's economic development, such as a single industrial structure and insufficient economic growth momentum, have gradually become apparent.

Thus, Hong Kong entered its fourth stage of development: the period of diversified development (since the 21st century)

Hong Kong has increased its support for innovative technology, cultural creativity, healthcare, and other fields. For example, it has established technology parks, attracting a number of technology companies and innovative talent. Meanwhile, Hong Kong's financial services sector continues to innovate, strengthening collaboration with mainland China and international markets, solidifying its position as an international financial center.

From Hong Kong’s development trajectory, we can see that the development of a city is closely related to the pulse of the times.

This also applies to individuals.

Let’s get back to the point. Since it’s re-export trade, it doesn’t matter where it’s re-exported.

At the same time as the companies were withdrawing, Zhuge Lin gave Carter another bad idea: to replace Hong Kong's entrepot trade status with Bao'an County and welcome American investment.

As soon as this idea came out, it took root in Carter's mind.

The economic lifeline of Hong Kong as a whole is in the hands of the capital of the Gentleman Country. Those hateful gentlemen have always liked to have the cake and eat it all by themselves. The core businesses such as docks, shipping, and finance are all in their hands. Of course, they also left a small piece of cake, but everyone needs to grab it.

The United States has a fine tradition of suppressing the second-largest economy. Once a country's economic output exceeds 80% of the United States', they will start to take action.

There are no real friends or real enemies between countries.

Carter did not express his opinion on Zhuge Lin's proposal, but provided an important piece of information: the warships of the Gentleman Country will arrive in four hours.

What else is there to say? Just run!

Before leaving, Xie Zhiyu sank seven or eight 10,000-ton ships, blocking three major docks.

Aren’t you engaged in re-export trade? Let’s see what you will do now!

Although the bandits ran away, they left behind the citizens who were feeling resentful. Normally, everyone was used to being bullied and did not dare to resist at all, but now, everyone suddenly realized that these gentlemen were nothing.

A total weakling.

The ones who were making the most noise were the press. They dared to say anything. Taking advantage of the paralysis of the police system, they almost exposed the authorities and dug up all kinds of black materials.

At St. Martin's Hospital, Hu Zhenhua 'woken up'.

Alande looked at him, not knowing whether to be angry or relieved.

Even if you are angry, don't vent your anger on Hu Zhenhua. He was injured and unconscious, and had no idea what happened next.

I wanted to find Zhuge Lin, but this guy ran to Bao'an County and I couldn't catch any trace of him.

Wanting to find Guo Dachong, he went to Shanghai.

It is even more impossible to find Xie Zhiyu. This hateful bastard has deployed heavy troops at the border. The warships cannot land and there is no chance of winning the land battle.

The reinforcements came, but no one was found. I punched cotton and almost sprained my waist!

The most hateful thing is that not only has the relocation of enterprises not stopped, but the number is increasing.

If I had known this, I would have compromised.

Alande came here for two purposes. One was to settle the score. The culprit could only be Zhuge Lin, because he was the one who gave orders after Hu Zhenhua fell into a coma.

Secondly, it is to calm the situation.

TA's withdrawal of investment serves as a warning sign, and the authorities hope to persuade them to stay.

In front of the bed, Lan Shian put his ear to Hu Zhenhua's mouth, listened to his heart, and then relayed,

"Mr. Arend, what's wrong with your face?"

Carter suppressed a smile and looked away.

Wang Cuicui and An Lan only got the news after Hu Zhenhua had the operation. After seeing Alande, these two tigresses gathered a group of ladies, beat him up, and scratched Alande's face.

Now, they went to the Governor's Mansion to seek justice, but it was said that the people inside did not dare to come out.

It is neither right to beat nor to scold a group of noble ladies.

The dog bites the hedgehog but has nowhere to bite.

The muscles on Alande's face twitched, pulling on the wound, causing him to grimace in pain, looking hideous.

After a long time, he calmed down and responded,

"The road was not peaceful, and he was caught."

Alande calmed down and continued,

"Chairman Hu, while you were in a coma, Zhuge Lin did something he shouldn't have done, which seriously affected our friendship. I hope you can hand him over to us!"

Hu Zhenhua closed his eyes and asked after a long time,

"I heard that both parties have reconciled. Let the past be forgotten."

"Let's be clear, our reconciliation is limited to Mr. Guo Dachong and does not involve anything else."

Hu Zhenhua closed his eyes and stopped talking. It was very obvious that he wanted to see the guest off.

Lan Shian said with a smile,

"Gentlemen, the chairman is too weak. Let's talk another day."

Alande clenched his fist and shouted,

"Hundreds of our police officers and soldiers died. Someone must be held accountable for this. I hope Chairman Hu can put the greater good first!"

Hu Zhenhua opened his eyes and whispered something again. Lan Shian immediately said,

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Alande was confused and asked, but Lan Shian ignored him.

More than ten minutes later, Hu Zhenhua was carried by bodyguards out of St. Martin's Hospital and prepared to move to Bao'an County.

……

On Albert Road in Mid-Levels, Central, a group of ladies held banners and demanded justice.

The gates of the Governor's Mansion were tightly closed, and the guards were on high alert.

These tigresses are not vegetarians. Many of the guards were captured.

It was impossible to fight back because there were countless reporters standing nearby.

Rumors were flying around the market that the white police had set their sights on Hu Zhenhua's vast wealth and disguised themselves as gangsters to rob him, thus triggering the riot.

In addition to the ladies, there was also a group of children, led by Hu Doudou and Wang Yunan.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

Suddenly, a little kid with blond curly hair came staggering over from a distance, holding an ice cream in his hand and eating it happily.

Wang Yunan, with sharp eyes, shouted,

"Kid! Stop!"

A group of children surrounded him.

The young master of the Liu family slapped the ice cream out of the little golden retriever's hand and asked,

"Are you from the Governor's Mansion?"

The little golden retriever was unwilling to be outdone and threatened,

"You bunch of yellow monkeys, be smart, or dad will arrest you all!"

Wang Yunan couldn't bear it anymore, and even forgot about the interrogation. He shouted,

"beat him!"

Upon hearing this, the children rushed forward, hitting them with their hands, kicking them with their feet, and some even bit them with their teeth!

The little golden retriever screamed and cried, and the cry attracted the attention of the people in the Governor's Mansion. Soon, several ladies rushed out and wanted to snatch the child back.

How could An Lan let them do as they wished? He blocked the road and a fight broke out between the two sides. The scene was so beautiful!

Wang Cuicui and An Lan came for their men, while the ladies who followed them came for money.

They were trapped again.

More than a month ago, housing prices in Hong Kong were rising rapidly. Rich ladies could not resist the temptation and pawned their gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings to invest in properties.

After more than a month of growth, it fell back in just one day.

The ladies could only place their hopes on TA's company, so they came with Wang Cuicui and An Lan.

Of course, it’s not all about money, everyone is also fighting for their own interests.

If you have a conflict with foreigners here, you will never win the lawsuit, and anyone would feel aggrieved.

Soon, the foreign ladies were defeated and beaten black and blue, but they successfully snatched the golden retriever away.

A group of women won the battle, laughed heartily, and provoked others unscrupulously.
