Chapter 1029 1027 [All Officials Come to Congratulate! 】

July 21, 1971.

The British Parliament formally issued an order to appoint Sir MacLehose as the next Governor of Hong Kong, replacing Dai Lingzhi, who was extended for one year, to open a new chapter in the governance of Hong Kong.

In the last life, Mak Leho served as the Governor of Hong Kong for 10 and a half years, and was re-elected four times successively. He is the longest-serving Governor of Hong Kong in Hong Kong history.

Although Mak Lehose, who was a diplomat, lacked experience in colonial administration, he was generally regarded as one of the most outstanding and popular Hong Kong governors in history without the burden of colonial administration. "Describing his days as Governor of Hong Kong.

During his term of office, Mak Leh-ho promoted drastic reforms, which brought about profound changes in Hong Kong's social outlook. His reforms involved housing, cleanliness, education, and medical care. Important policies and constructions, such as the 10-year housing plan, the development of new towns, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the nine-year free education, the construction of the underground railway, and local administrative reforms, were carried out one after another. Launched during his tenure.

These policies not only directly improved the living standards of the citizens, but also further established a positive image of the colonial government in the hearts of the citizens, and at the same time enhanced the Hong Kong people's sense of belonging to Hong Kong.

For the citizens of Hong Kong at this moment, no matter whether it is Bailiqu who came to power or Mak Lihao who succeeded to the position of governor of Hong Kong, it is all ghosts who are in power. The Chinese basically have no say in the Hong Kong government, let alone democracy and freedom. The only thing that made everyone gratified was that Shi Zhijian broke through the limit and became a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council.

His existence can be said to have given countless Chinese blood, allowing Chinese to at least participate in the governance of Hong Kong.

In particular, Shi Zhijian promoted the abolition of the Qing Dynasty's laws and regulations, which gathered people's hearts and let everyone see his charm as a member of the Legislative Council.

For those famous families and dignitaries in Hong Kong, Mai Lihao's position was a bit unexpected, especially when Bailiqu was unanimously favored by everyone, he lost to Mai Lihao, which was surprising.

In the end, an insider revealed that the reason why Sir Bailiqu lost to Mak Leho this time was because he was too old, and the UK needed to find a younger agent who could manage and govern Hong Kong for a long time.

In any case, now that the overall situation in Hong Kong has been decided, Mai Lihao is in charge, and all the officials are here to congratulate!

...

The interpersonal relationships of wealthy families are always wonderful.

Like Xu Sanshao, although the relationship between the old man and his two elder brothers eased after the death of the old man, and the Xu family gradually changed from decline to prosperity, but when it came to the degree of intimacy, the relationship between Xu Sanshao and his two brothers was not as good as that of his wife natal family.

As we all know, Miss Jian was born in a wealthy family in Malaysia, and her father, Jian Tianming, is a well-known Malaysian Chinese tycoon.

Jian Tianming has two sons and a daughter. Miss Jian is not only his heart, but also the treasure of his two elder brothers. It can be said that she is deeply loved by Jian's family.

Regarding the Jane family, in the 1990s in the future, Hong Kong also filmed a TV series that reflected their family. The name was "My Lord Dynasty", but the two sons and one daughter of the Jane family were changed to three daughters, and the content was fabricated. , talking about the intrigue of the Jane family. And this drama also detonated Malaysia at the time, almost causing the Jian family to sue the Hong Kong TV station in court.

At this moment, Xu Sanshao's father-in-law, Jian Tianming, was sitting on the sofa, facing his son-in-law, and Hong Kong Legislative Council member Shi Zhijian who had finally been invited.

"Mr. Shi is indeed young and promising. I have heard the third young master talk about you many times! He always praises you as a dragon and phoenix among people. When I saw you today, it is indeed so!" Jian Tianming took a cigar from the table and took it out skillfully. The cigar cutter cut off the head, and then picked up the lighter and bit the cigar to light it. This series of actions was done in one go, and the tycoon was full of posture.

Shi Zhijian was very busy today, but Xu Sanshao stalked and dragged him here, saying that there was an important person to introduce him to, but after he came, he only knew it was his old father-in-law.

Shi Zhijian didn't know much about the Malay tycoon in front of him, but he was the elder of the third young master, so he could handle it well.

"Mr. Jian was joking, I just made a little achievement!"

"Modest!" Jian Tianming laughed and pointed at the cigar, "Why don't you smoke? My son-in-law always likes to put good things in front of him. If you don't use it, it's a waste!"

Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "Third Young Master and I are as close as brothers, and it's very casual with him!"

"I love to hear the words that we are as close as brothers!" Jian Tianming laughed, "Now that the old man of the Xu family has passed away for more than two years, and the third young master is lonely in Hong Kong, I care about his feelings very much! Come to relocate and cooperate with him to help him rejuvenate the Xu family, but we still need a leader, but after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable!"

Who is Shi Zhijian? As soon as he heard this, he understood what this Jane tycoon was planning. It was nothing more than coveting the Xu family's foundation and wanting to help his son-in-law seize power. Rumors abounded about his "intimate relationship" with the future Governor of Hong Kong, Mak Leh Ho.

"Mr. Jian wants to start a business in Hong Kong, and I am in favor of it! Now that Hong Kong has experienced the 1969 crisis, all industries are waiting for prosperity! Coupled with the political clarity, the future opportunities are limitless!" Shi Zhijian paused, took a sip of tea, Looking up at Jian Tianming, "If Mr. Jian is willing, I can introduce you to the person in charge of China Merchants Hong Kong. As for myself, although I am a friend of the three young masters, I am busy with affairs, and I really don't have time to spare!"

Shi Zhijian's words were very tactful. If you want to come to Hong Kong to do business, you can. I can help you lead the way. As for you want to help Xu Sanshao seize power or something, I'm sorry I'm not interested!

After hearing Shi Zhijian's words, Jian Tianming was startled for a moment, then laughed loudly, puffed out a puff of cigar smoke, flicked the ashes wantonly and said, "Well said! I think too much!"

In fact, from the very beginning when Jian Tianming wanted to enter Hong Kong to help his son-in-law seize power, Xu Sanshao disagreed.

Xu Sanshao had a rare relationship with his elder brother and second brother, and occasionally went back to drink the soup made by his sister-in-law.

Everyone likes power, but family affection is also very precious.

However, Third Young Master Xu is the kind of person who values ​​family affection more.

When Jian Tianming proposed to help him become the head of the Xu family, Xu Sanshao objected.

So the father-in-law made a bet with his son-in-law, if Shi Zhijian could be persuaded to help Xu Sanshao get promoted, then Xu Sanshao would obey Jian Tianming's arrangement and regain the power of the Xu family.

Now it seems that Shi Zhijian refused directly, even without any leeway.

Jian Tianming felt slightly displeased with Shi Zhijian, who was he? In Malaysia, it can be said that you can only cover the sky with your hands. It is already very difficult to make a request to a junior like you. It is really embarrassing for you to refuse me.

However, Jian Tianming and Shi Zhijian are acquaintances for the first time, but Shi Zhijian and Xu Sanshao have experienced great storms, and their friendship has been tested and baptized. cut off.

What's more, Shi Zhijian's status is extraordinary, even if Jian Tianming is unhappy with him, he still has to be careful, and even wants to take the opportunity to get closer to Shi Zhijian, so that this thoughtful young man can call him "Uncle".

"Since A Jian, you have your own ideas, I will no longer force others to be difficult." Jian Tianming took the step of retreating, "In short, you and the third young master are brothers, and I will be your uncle from now on, and we are all family!" After finishing speaking, Jian Tianming also personally picked up the teapot to continue the tea ceremony for Shi Zhijian: "Drink tea first!"

Shi Zhijian knew that this cup of tea was not good to drink, and sure enough, after drinking the tea, Jian Tianming started messing around again.

"Since you are not willing to help the third young master take charge of Xu's family, then I will not force you, so I will help his construction company --- I heard that you are in charge of a lot of construction resources now, and the construction of universities in education alone has two Let one come out and let us, Weng and son-in-law, try our skills, how about it?"

Shi Zhijian established a real estate alliance and raised funds to promote "everyone has a house to live in, and everyone has a book to read". It can be said that he has a lot of resources in his hands. Coupled with his current close relationship with the future Governor of Hong Kong, Mak Lihao, these resources will Absolutely make a fortune!

Jian Tianming could smell it from as far away as Malaysia, and came here wanting to get a share, not to mention those local tycoons in Hong Kong.

Recently, there was a long queue at the National People's Congress to invite Shi Zhijian to dinner, which caused Shi Zhijian a lot of headaches.

Xu Sanshao pretended to be stupid and looked at his father-in-law "forced" Shi Zhijian from the side, making Shi Zhijian spit out his fat.

Although he has an extraordinary relationship with Shi Zhijian, he is also concerned about face and embarrassed to ask for resources in person. The old man in his family is different, typical thick-skinned! Known as the "face-skinned king" of Malaysia! It is most appropriate to let him speak.

Shi Zhijian smiled, and picked up the tea again: "Uncle Shi is joking, although I have some resources in my hand, but these resources have not yet been determined. In addition, education construction has a long way to go, especially the two universities are the most important ones, which require strength Strong construction companies start construction!"

"Oh, you mean that the company that I add to San Shao is not strong enough?" Jian Tianming asked back, "You also know that I am a lawyer, so maybe I don't have much experience in construction, but San Shao is different. , you have been with him for so many years, you should understand what kind of person he is, and what is the strength of his construction company?"

"Of course I understand the strength of his company. My cooperation with him in the development of Meteor Garden has proved everything."

"How can there be any doubts?" Jian Tianming fired again, "Could it be that you deliberately didn't choose Xu's building because you wanted to avoid suspicion? If that's the case, it would make me very sad!"

Shi Zhijian can't laugh or cry, this Jane tycoon is really hard to deal with, Hong Kong's gang of tycoons are generally very traditional, used to hide their thoughts, and don't tell the truth, but Jian Tianming in front of him is a highly educated lawyer who only seeks the truth and doesn't care In face, when I heard that I was going to be perfunctory, I immediately blocked all the ways that I could be perfunctory, and then continued to ask if it was okay.

"It's difficult for Shibo to say that. The relationship between me and the third young master is extraordinary, but I only do things right and not people!" Shi Zhijian looked at Jian Tianming with burning eyes after speaking, "So the construction When the time comes, I will arrange a public bidding, and I wish you, Mr. Weng, the best of both worlds!"

Seeing this, Jian Tianming knew that there was nothing to talk about.

Shi Zhijian refused to speak, so what else could he be talking about?

The atmosphere immediately became cold.

Shi Zhijian didn't want to just sit still, so he got up and straightened his suit and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Shi! I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, and it looks like I'm going to be excused first!"

"Ajian, are you leaving now? I'll see you off!"

Shi Zhijian nodded towards Xu Sanshao.

Xu Sanshao sent Shi Zhijian out.

"Ajian, you know that my father-in-law has a bad temper! I used to be a lawyer to catch everyone, so don't take what he said just now to your heart."

"How could it be? Besides, he didn't say anything wrong."

"Hey, I will open the bidding as you said, and I will never go through the back door! But you have to promise me one thing!"

"what's up?"

"This time, we must not take advantage of those ghosts again!"

The Hong Kong British government has always given priority to those British-funded enterprises in any major actions and constructions, and those British-funded enterprises will only throw some residues to the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong after they have made a big deal.

Xu Sanshao has been running a construction company for so many years, and he can't get used to this kind of commercial "discrimination".

"Don't worry!" Shi Zhijian patted Third Young Master Xu on the shoulder, "As long as I make the decision, those ghosts will all rush to the streets!"
