Chapter 4131 Me 10 Years Ago
July 1, 2007, is the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center was under martial law early. Although reporters gathered, today's celebration is a grand event and a very serious and solemn event. Therefore, everything is in order. Although there are many reporters, they abide by the order and do not make loud noises. They just wait quietly for the celebration ceremony to begin.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the celebration ceremony officially began with the majestic national anthem. Mr. Hu first went on stage to supervise the oath and witnessed Mr. Zeng's swearing in, and then the two sides shook hands. After that, it was a set of customary procedures. Many government officials swore in and then shook hands with Mr. Hu.
Sitting in the guest seats, Lin Feng was full of emotion. It has only been a few years, and he can actually sit here and witness Mr. Zeng's swearing in. You know, in the world before rebirth, Lin Feng could only watch this scene on TV. Unexpectedly, this life has changed so much.
"Now, please invite special guest Lin Feng. Mr. Lin will come to the stage to speak. As the most outstanding businessman in China's history, and a businessman who has a direct role in promoting trade between Hong Kong and the mainland, his success story proves that in this new era, Hong Kong's success is China's success!" The host's passionate speech awakened Lin Feng, whose thoughts were flying.
Lin Feng woke up. At this moment, Mr. Hu had finished his speech. Now it was his turn.
A burst of warm applause!
After Lin Feng gestured to the surroundings, he went on stage.
"He got more applause than Mr. Hu. We invited him here, so we won't cause trouble for him!" Mr. Zeng watched all this from a distance and couldn't help muttering in his heart. He invited Lin Feng to come, which was a precedent that had never happened before. However, he felt that Lin Feng was very important to the development of Hong Kong. Especially Lin Feng himself holds the "Second Bank", which is now the largest Hong Kong-funded bank in Hong Kong, and also holds the right to issue Hong Kong dollars. And he has close relations with many wealthy and powerful families in Hong Kong. His words and deeds have now begun to fully affect the future of Hong Kong. So. He invited Lin Feng to give a speech. It represents the determination of the Hong Kong government to develop its own economy.
But at this moment, it seems that Lin Feng is too popular. Just now, Mr. Hu spoke for more than 10 minutes and received 8 rounds of applause. And Lin Feng, he has not even started speaking, and there is applause, and the applause is so enthusiastic. This is completely different from what happened just now. This. He is worried that if the higher-ups are dissatisfied with Lin Feng, they think that he is a bit sensational, or even stealing the show, this is not good.
If that happens, he will harm Lin Feng instead. However, seeing that Mr. Hu's face is normal, he smiled and watched Lin Feng go up. And the two sides shook hands in the middle. This made Mr. Zeng breathe a sigh of relief.
Wait! He doesn't seem to have a speech! Mr. Zeng saw that Lin Feng seemed to leave empty-handed, and he was a little dizzy. Such a serious occasion,
No speech, that won't work. Because in such occasions, no matter how transparent the society is, no matter how advanced the civilization is, you must consider that there are many things you can say. Many things you can't say. Therefore, there will be a speech before going on stage to avoid mistakes. Of course, some great people who can remember everything they see can memorize it in advance, so there is no need for a speech. But he has never heard that Lin Feng has such an exaggerated memory. All he knows is that Lin Feng does not play by the rules.
If he does not play by the rules in this occasion, it will be really troublesome. Mr. Zeng's heart suddenly tightened.
At this time. Lin Feng has walked to the center of the stage, looking at the many reporters, Hong Kong government officials, and some guests invited to the ceremony, and smiled slightly. Slowly took out a speech from his pocket.
Huh! Seeing this speech, Mr. Zeng breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little ashamed of his nervousness just now. Most of these speeches are in his pocket, and he will take them out when he is about to give a speech. He was also anxious just now, so he forgot about it. Fortunately, Lin Feng has not really left the speech.
But just as Mr. Zeng relaxed here, Lin Feng's words made him feel thundering directly.
"Hello, fellow countrymen and friends. It is my honor to stand here today. It is also the recognition of the Gang District Government. This is a prepared speech, very formal and written, but it is not what I, Lin Feng, want to say." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he folded it up again with a smile and put it in his pocket, "Of course, my personality would tear it up, but this is not my personal press conference after all."
Mr. Zeng was about to faint. Lin Feng, Lin Feng, you have personality, we know, we admit it, but this is not the time to be so individual! Of course, if it is a purely Hong Kong government event, he welcomes you to give such a personality speech, and welcomes it from the bottom of his heart. Because this represents the spirit of freedom in Hong Kong. But it is not the Hong Kong government that has the final say here! Thinking of this, Mr. Zeng looked at Mr. Hu.
Sure enough, Mr. Hu frowned slightly. Fortunately, after frowning, he recovered and said nothing more.
"What do I want to say? What I want to say is that ten years ago, I was still a student, preparing for the college entrance examination, but on the day of Hong Kong's return, the school was still on holiday and let us watch the Hong Kong Handover Celebration at home to celebrate this centenary moment in history. We were also assigned an article called "Thoughts after Watching" to write about our thoughts on Hong Kong's return. The title I wrote at the time was - "The Sleeping Lion Awakes, a Centenary Return," Lin Feng recalled.
The audience burst into applause. The title of this article is good, really good. At this moment, everyone including Mr. Hu nodded repeatedly. The sleeping lion naturally refers to China, and the Centenary Return refers to Hong Kong. This metaphor is that China, the sleeping lion, finally woke up after humiliation in modern times. Its strong national power finally allowed the British government to hand over Hong Kong. . Although I don’t know how Lin Feng writes the content, the title is very good.
Second round of applause! Mr. Zeng was silently calculating in his heart. He was afraid that if Lin Feng applauded too much, he would get into trouble in the future. He personally really admires Lin Feng.
"I won't dwell on the content of the article. If I continue to dwell on it, it will become a composition and recitation contest." Lin Feng laughed.
There was laughter in the audience. This was the laughter that the guests at the scene could not help but laugh at. Mr. Zeng was sweating profusely. Lin Feng's on-site appeal is really strong. I hope it ends soon and don't let this celebration become the beginning of a political incident.
"Ten years ago, I was still writing essays in front of the TV, but who would have thought that ten years later, I would be standing here giving a speech for the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China. The teacher who said that I had no future in this life, have you ever thought about me? Can you stand here today?" Lin Feng's words were so sharp that the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became solemn.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Lin Feng wanted to say. Is this an opportunity to mock the teacher's blindness? Mr. Zeng looked directly at Mr. Hu. At this moment, Mr. Hu's brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of displeasure. Trouble, I’m in trouble now. My Fengshen, if you want to ridicule the original teacher, this is not an opportunity!
"Haha, I think everyone must think that I am taking the opportunity to mock the teacher, but it is not the case. What I want to say is, why can I stand here in just ten years?" Lin Feng looked at the crowd and asked, not waiting for everyone. Lin Feng answered by himself, "It's because in the past ten years, China has been adhering to Mr. Xiaoping's 'one country, two systems' and the policy of peaceful economic development, allowing the mainland and Hong Kong to conduct friendly, free and equal trade exchanges, and we He is the biggest beneficiary of this "one country, two systems" system. As everyone knows, I have a very good relationship with Li Zekai, Tong Jiacheng, and Zheng Zhiheng in Hong Kong, and I also have a very good relationship with the families behind them. But if there is no "one country, two systems". system, without the policies of peaceful economic development formulated by the central leadership, it would be impossible for me to become good friends with them. At the beginning, the largest financing that the 'Second World' ever received came from Li Zekai. I said, I am the biggest beneficiary of the ‘one country, two systems’ system! That’s why I can stand here!”
applause! This time the applause sounded wildly. Just now, everyone was worried that Lin Feng would take the opportunity to mock his former teacher, but unexpectedly, he would take the opportunity to boast about the 'one country, two systems' system. This reassured all the guests present. Of course, Mr. Zeng was the most comfortable. He was scared to death just now.
At this moment, Mr. Hu also applauded for the first time. What Lin Feng said was beautiful.
"I am the biggest beneficiary, and I hope that more people can benefit from this system in the future. And I also believe that there will be more connections between one country and two places in the future, which can promote Hong Kong's economy to a greater Brilliant, become a financial center truly comparable to New York and London, and I will contribute my best to this goal!" After Lin Feng finished speaking, he bowed to everyone.
Lin Feng is not stupid. He naturally knows that he cannot talk here for too long, otherwise he will violate some taboos. Just click until now. As for Lin Feng's special mention of Li Zekai and the others, it was also to build momentum for them. I mentioned the three of them here, so in the future the Hong Kong government will take more care of them on many matters. This will help the three become the next generation of leaders in Hong Kong. Although they are now, it is undeniable that the three people's influence on Hong Kong is far less than that of their parents. Therefore, if Lin Feng can help them, he will help them. Of course, helping them is also helping yourself.
Many friends lead to many paths. If your friends are powerful, you can rely on them more.
Then, the celebration ended. What Mr. Zeng didn't expect was that he originally thought that this celebration would leave no 'trouble', but unexpectedly, due to Lin Feng's remarks, his remarks were the most reported by all the media that day, especially what he said. When he wrote the article "The Sleeping Lion Awakes and Returns After a Hundred Years", all the media became interested in what Lin Feng originally wrote in this article. As for Mr. Wu's speech, although there were newspapers mentioning it, they were all mainland newspapers, and there were almost no mentions of it by Hong Kong people.
Mr. Zeng looked stiff. Is this considered ‘the following offense’?
