In May, MacLeho officially ended his ten-year career as a governor of Hong Kong, and Yud, who took over his position as a diplomat.

Regarding the issue of Hong Kong, the UK has long been starting to test the mainland's tone because they are more anxious than anyone else;

But whether it was the British Conservative Prime Minister Edward's visit to the mainland in 1974 or the Governor Maliho's visit to the capital in 1979;

There is only one answer I got - according to the lease term, it expires in 1997, and Hong Kong will have to return in 1997.

Especially in 1979, when Mai Lihao went to the capital, he received a tough answer - Hong Kong is part of China, and this question itself cannot be discussed.

Because of concerns about causing panic among Hong Kong business circles, Gu Mailihao did not mention these words after returning to Hong Kong;

Just say that the mainland government asks everyone to invest with confidence;

So, it didn't arouse people's alertness!

But in April this year, the Hong Kong issue finally began to officially linger on everyone's heads.

On May 7, the Hong Kong government specially prepared a large farewell ceremony for Mai Lihao. Tens of thousands of citizens visited during the day and held a celebrity banquet for both political and business sessions at night.

MacLeho's farewell dinner was held at the Concierge House, and the people who came to attend the dinner were basically the upper class in Hong Kong society.

Before the banquet, Wu Guangyao, MacLeho, Xia Dingji, Bao Yugang, Shen Bi and others gathered to chat. This was probably the top circle of Hong Kong's top figures.

What’s different from that time is that Bao Yugang is also qualified to stand here;

Before the mid-1970s, only Wu Guangyao, the Chinese were considered the top figure in Hong Kong Island.

Now, the reason why Bao Yugang is more influential than the four major families in Hong Kong is naturally because it comes from the shipping industry, which has much greater influence than real estate;

From Dong Yunhao’s funeral and President Reagan’s condolence phone call, you can see through the leopard.

Wu Guangyao said seriously: "Before Governor MacLehore resigned, I asked my media to conduct a survey. The results showed that the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens believed that Governor MacLehore was one of the best governors in Hong Kong; Governor MacLehore made great contributions to the prosperity of Hong Kong's economy today."

Wu Guangyao's voice was quite loud, and some people around him could hear it clearly, so everyone applauded;

As if it was infected, the entire reception hall clapped without knowing it, and it took a long time to applaud.

Wu Guangyao is not flattering, he says everything from the heart. Over the years, Mai Lihao is very able to accept his opinions;

It can be said that for the sake of the development of Hong Kong, this British man put down all prejudices!

If there was a change of a governor, Wu Guangyao would not know whether he would support his Tin Shui Wai New Town, whether he would support the new airport, and whether he would support the establishment of the Polytechnic University...

In short, Wu Guangyao was still full of respect for Mai Lihao;

Perhaps because he had not worked in other British colonies before managing Hong Kong, he did not have too many concerns;

In order to make up for the tax issue in Hong Kong, the UK's requirements were even refuted, and in the end, Hong Kong did not need to pay taxes for the UK.

MacLeho was moved and said seriously: "Thank you Mr. Wu for your recognition! Similarly, Hong Kong's economy has achieved such a brilliant future. In addition to the policy support of the British government, I also often receive Mr. Wu's help and guidance. Of course, in addition to these, there is also the hard work of every Hong Kong person to achieve Hong Kong's prosperity today."

Wu Guangyao said modestly: "I am just a businessman! After Governor MacLehore returns to Britain, he will definitely become a lifelong noble. Don't forget Hong Kong at that time! At this time, Hong Kong's development foundation has been laid and the economy will continue to make rapid progress; I once heard the Japanese say, 'The present of the United States is the tomorrow of Japan', and today I predict here 'Japan's today is the tomorrow of Hong Kong'. So, Governor MacLehore is welcome to come back and see it frequently!"

When these words were said, they might be a little lacking in confidence. It is important to know that Japan is a powerful country in science and technology;

Before being transformed, Hong Kong was at most an industrial processing center, and it was not a real science and technology area;

But now, Hong Kong will no longer follow the old path of its previous life, because with Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park, Hung Hom Industrial Park (the original site of Qingzhou Yingni), a steady stream of science and engineering students, and capitalists are willing to invest in the technology industry...

There are also large technology companies such as Xiaomi Electronics and Yaoshi Industrial, which have a promising future!

MacLeho smiled and said, "That's true, Hong Kong's industry will not disappear!"

Seeing everyone in confusion, Mai Lihao smiled and explained the "alarming" that Wu Guangyao said in front of him, and everyone suddenly realized;

I have to admire Wu Guangyao's vision. While everyone was still looking at Hong Kong, others had already positioned Hong Kong as a development in the global field.

If today is not Mai Lihao's farewell dinner, everyone wouldn't mind flattering Wu Guangyao.

Everyone chatted in groups of three or three for a while, and the banquet officially began;

As the protagonist of today's banquet, Maliho naturally wanted to give a heart-warming speech without hesitation;

From the reform measures and economic development of all parties in Hong Kong over his ten-year term to the prospects for Hong Kong in the future;

I heard the crowd in the audience and was quite excited. Even though everyone was a mature capitalist, I had to admit that these words from Malihao were very resonant;

After all, Hong Kong is the foundation of everyone. The better Hong Kong develops, the better its career and family will be.

But as soon as the topic changes, the politician's face is revealed;

McRihao began to emphasize that Hong Kong has achieved such great achievements under British control and began to disclose a long-term policy of the UK towards Hong Kong Island.

Since the 1970s, Chinese capital has grown rapidly through listing. Today, Chinese capital's overall strength has exceeded British capital several streets;

Throughout the 1970s, Wu Guangyao was the leader and he bought traditional British companies such as Hutchison Whampoa, Qingzhou Yingni, Hong Kong Electric Lights, Hong Kong Tram and other veteran British companies;

In the late 1970s, some British-funded companies with weaker power were targeted by other Chinese investors, and then they were acquired.

Today, Hong Kong is not a company of the Wu family. With the overall strength of Chinese capitals such as Bao Yugang, Li Chaoren, Li Ka-shing, Zheng Yutong, and Guo Desheng, it is also more powerful than that of several major foreign banks in the UK.

Therefore, Malihao played the emotional card and revealed in his implication that the mainland might harm everyone's interests in order to win over these Chinese tycoons;

Not only that, in his speech, McRihao revealed that the British government and the Hong Kong government intend to increase the proportion of Chinese participating in politics and policy decisions to achieve a bright future for British and Chinese to jointly govern Hong Kong.

Wu Guangyao frowned below. Mai Lihao's speech may not have much effect on some smart businessmen, such as Lee Ka-ki, Cheng Yutong, Jia Daoli, and the Schyoke family.

Because businessmen think a lot, they generally don’t do things that offend people;

So everyone will not choose to take sides at all, but will take both sides.

Of course, there are also a very small number of businessmen who are very clear in their positions. The Chinese-funded Ho Ying-dong is obviously in the mainland, while the British-funded Jardines Group is obviously in the UK.

Apart from these two companies, everyone will not listen to your "fooling".

But the businessmen do not listen to the fooling, while the politicians in Hong Kong listen to the British's "flirting" very much;

These people even want to negotiate with the mainland as representatives of Hong Kong people. You can imagine what the result will be?

You are not a sovereign state, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with a sovereign state?

Of course, no matter what, Wu Guangyao still has no malicious intentions towards these people, after all, they are indeed fighting for the benefits of Hong Kong citizens;

Although, they were used as guns!

In fact, the mainland said as early as the late 1970s that it would maintain its special status in Hong Kong;

But the statement of one g and two z is a new thing after all, and many people do not have a clear understanding of it at all;

Therefore, during the Sino-British negotiations, Hong Kong Island began to make a large amount of capital gains, and some talents began to flow out;

Although these capital and talents finally returned a lot, the losses were still very large.

I hope that in this world, there is a possibility of reducing losses due to my own appearance!
