Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

The reason why the atmosphere of Xiangjiang is somewhat subtle now is that it is preparing the last political adjustment before the return.

After Xiangjiang became a British colony more than 150 years ago, the British immediately established a governance framework consisting of the Executive Council, the Legislative Council-that is now the Legislative Council, and the Supreme Court.

Their role can be roughly understood as the name suggests. Among them, the status of the Executive Bureau is naturally the most important-this can also be reflected in the appointment of officials.

The Governor of Hong Kong, who represents the Queen of England, automatically becomes the ex-officio chairman of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council; the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary, and the Attorney General under the Executive Council automatically become the ex-officio members of the Legislative Council. "Of course" members.

After the expansion of the Legislative Council, the Governor of Hong Kong appointed civil servants of the Hong Kong Government to join the Legislative Council-as official members; and selected trusted private individuals to join the Legislative Council-as non-official members.

All in all, with the exception of the Governor himself, the ex-officio chairman, and the other three ex officio members, the remaining members of the Legislative Council are all appointed by the Governor.

When the overall situation of the return of Hong Kong was determined, the United Kingdom began to change the rules of the game of the Legislative Council-from appointment by all Governors to partial indirect elections.

At this time, the Legislative Council was composed of 11 official members including 4 ex officio members, and 46 non-official members.

Among them, 22 are appointed by the Governor; 12 are elected by functional constituencies; 1 is elected by all Urban Council members; 1 is elected by all Regional Council members; the other 10 are elected by an electoral college composed of all district councilors. Out.

Even these newly elected members of the Legislative Council broke the past practice by swearing allegiance to the citizens of Hong Kong in Cantonese.

Following this, the power of the Legislative Council has finally been greatly enhanced.

After entering the 1990s, the number of members of the Legislative Council increased again, reaching 60.

At the same time, the parties began to surface.

If this trend is maintained, the current Legislative Council may be able to directly transition to after the reunification.

But after Hong Kong Governor Peng Dingfan took office in 1992, he began to make a big fuss-from indirect elections to direct elections.

As a veteran politician who almost became the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, Peng Dingzhan was able to play the game of taking advantage of loopholes and mixing sand.

He focused on the last Legislative Council election before the return of Hong Kong this year, and unilaterally decided: to reduce the voting age of voters from 21 to 18 to increase the number of voters and allow more young people to participate; cancel the Legislative Council All appointed seats; increase the number of directly elected seats; especially in addition to the original functional constituencies, the agriculture and agriculture, minerals, energy and construction sectors, textile and clothing sectors, manufacturing sectors, import and export sectors, wholesale and retail sectors have been added. There are nine functional groups in the hotel and catering industry, transportation and communications, finance, insurance, real estate and business services, and public, social and personal services, namely the new nine groups.

What Peng Dingfan’s routine played deeply is that the new nine groups are different from the previous functional constituency election methods, that is, any incumbent who reported in the 1991 Census to be engaged in one of the industries will automatically become one of the new nine groups. A group of voters, which in turn brings the number of voters to 1.06 million. With one person, one vote, these nine seats are actually directly elected seats in disguise.

From the standpoint of the British, Peng Dingzhan played very beautifully. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, he achieved the goal of maximizing the differentiation of all classes of Xiangjiang society. After the return of the original time and space Xiangjiang, there were noisy quarrels. It just revolves around this frame.

The Legislative Council election meticulously planned by Peng Dingchan was held in September, and the various parties can be described as a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang's richest man came here.

Regarding the variables that may be triggered by Tang Huan’s presence, the publication of "Pingguo Daily", which was launched on June 20 this year, has stirred up the entire Xiangjiang newspaper industry through a price reduction strategy, and used the film "Four Hundred Years of Blood Sucking. "Vaguely described: "Earl Dracula came to London by boat, all the way to London. His arrival revived the dark power of London. The vampire bat and werewolf woke up, and London was in a mysterious horror."

Is this group of people so cupped with bow and snake shadow?

It turned out that they were worried that the number of invited guests for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet held by the richest man in Xiangjiang would exceed 1,000 people-no one knows what impact so many celebrities will have when they sit together.

...

The richest man is very disdainful-even if I haven't been to Xiangjiang for a long time, but I have a banquet, who is bothering me?

You know, last month, many people couldn't keep up with the banquet in the "Chang'an City" in the United States, so this was the opportunity to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold another one in Xiangjiang.

In fact, this is also a cover.

The real purpose of the richest man is to start the layout in advance in Xiangjiang, an international financial city-only after making a decision, can he drink Tom Yum Goong, drink Java, eat kimchi, and then achieve other follow-up goals.

...

Compared with the ghosts in the political world, people in business and literature and art have much purer ideas.

Many celebrities, including the Four Heavenly Kings, are actively preparing for upcoming performances-you know, not to mention the energy of Tang Daheng, just for such an occasion, being able to participate in it is enough as capital. And the Chang'an City banquet in the United States was almost unattainable. The lucky few like Cheng Long showed up after coming back, not to mention too many cows.

...

"Brother, this is the guest list." Little cousin Meng Jing walked over and said. Since returning to the mainland last time, she stayed and was arranged to start contacting investment affairs in the Asia-Pacific region.

Tang Huan glanced around, and asked in surprise, "Fat Peng is here too?"

"Inviting celebrities from Hong Kong, how could it be possible to bypass him as the governor of Hong Kong on the surface." Weng Jingjing explained with a smile, "just in accordance with the procedure, sending an invitation to confirm as usual, but he did not expect that this time he agreed to come."

Meng Jing took the conversation playfully and asked, "Brother, you shouldn't be worried, he was invited abruptly, so he should come and play on the court."

"It shouldn't be." Tang Huan shook his head smirkly, "After all, someone has already made peace before - it's not only boring, but also tired."

"That's not necessarily..." Meng Jing rolled her eyes, "Xiangjiang is less than two years away from the return. Maybe you know that you will inevitably become a grasshopper after the autumn and jump more happily!"

They were talking and laughing, and their subordinates came to report that Wu Guangzheng, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wheelock Group, came.

Before leaving, Weng Jingjing said: "In a few months, the preparatory committee for the special zone will be established, and the election of the chief executive will be on the agenda. People like Li Fushan and Wu Guangzheng are rumored to be competing."

Tang Huan raised his brows, "They are really prepared for a rainy day!"

...

Weng Jingjing really reminded that after talking about some light topics, Wu Guangzheng turned to the chief executive election expected to be formally held next year, and laughed and joked, "As far as I know, don’t It looks very low-key on the surface, but I am eager to try."

The richest man said disapprovingly: "For Xiangjiang, the position of chief executive is not an exaggeration. It is glamorous. In fact, it is not that easy to do it, right?"

Wu Guang Zhengzheng smiled eloquently: "The actual work content is not much different from that of the Governor of Hong Kong."

Seeing the other party's eagerness, the richest man couldn't help being speechless. He just remembered the relationship between the two parties for more than ten years. He could only analyze patiently: "Not in his position, not seeking his own government-when he sits in the position of the leader. , You have to face the problem of how to shape society. What's more, as the first person, he must be ambitious. Xiangjiang is so big, but the gully that can be divided by the British is not small, and the result must be No matter how you do it, it touches the vested interest class and is subject to a strong backlash. There is a situation of'discuss but not decision, decision but not action', making people inside and outside."

"How do you feel, don't you think that I have a matching leadership courage?" Wu Guangzheng smiled bitterly: "I also know that there are many contradictions in Xiangjiang society, such as the widening gap between the rich and the poor-I remember Media Asia TV's The financial program also said that the Gini coefficient, which represents the gap between the rich and the poor, is almost 0.5, but don’t these just give a clear direction for work?"

The richest man did not want to say more, and instead asked: "Then you tell me this, do you want me to support you?"

"Can you?" Wu Guangzheng asked tentatively.

The richest man said with his hands on his forehead: "Believe it or not, there are at least two people who have the same idea as you."

Wu Guangzheng heard the Qin's voice and smiled elegantly: "If you don't help each other, it's great!"

The richest man nodded and stated clearly: "I'd better watch these things from the sidelines."

Wu Guangzheng laughed loudly, "I am already very happy if you can do this."

...

After the conversation, the richest man met Li Fushan, Dong Jianhua and others individually one after another.

This made him not only shook his head again and again, no wonder that the Legislative Council elections were shocked-those drill camps are almost everywhere, waiting for opportunities, maybe it is the butterfly wings here that lightly flap, and there is a hurricane over there.

In fact, the richest man really carefully thought about who was more suitable in private, and found it difficult to pick a satisfactory candidate.

After all, the temple is small and windy, and Chiqian has a lot of kings. Even if you top it up, you can only be restrained at most. It can only be repaired in the framework built by the British.

Fortunately, I don't have to really care about this. He came to Xiangjiang this time, in essence, to make arrangements for the approaching financial crisis.

...

The banquet is coming.

Guests gathered.

Among the crowd, there was a tall young girl who was particularly eye-catching.

Seeing the man deliberately looked at each other's eyes, Weng Jingjing said in a playful manner: "Master is really strategizing. Liu Wendi has entered News Corporation and has become a star as expected."

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Are you ‘okay’ with her?"

"Of course-Liu Wendi is just looking for another job normally, and others rarely talk about the betrayal; and I will secretly help to increase it." Weng Jingjing nodded contentedly, "Look, she's not here. Say hello to me."

...

"Sister Mary, this dress really suits you." Liu Wendi, who was clearly taller, looked extremely affectionate and humble in front of the powerful Weng Jingjing.

Superman won the first satellite TV license of Xiangjiang. After the establishment of Star Media, the Phoenix Satellite TV, which faces the entire Chinese-speaking area, will not be affected to settle in Xiangjiang. Subsequently, Superman and Xiaolongnu continued to compete fiercely.

It's just that obtaining a license and actual operation are not the same thing after all.

The staff can dig at high salaries immediately-such as Liu Wendi and his like, but for high-quality program sources, you must settle down and work patiently, and it is self-evident which side of this time advantage is on.

In 1993, the little Superman who couldn’t stand it, took advantage of the great opportunity of media king Rupert Murdoch to extend his tentacles to China and sold 63.6% of Star Media’s equity to the other party, with an account of 500 million. Amidst the cheers of "young and promising", he landed safely.

Just in July of this year, News Corp again purchased a 34.6% stake in Star Media, completely controlling the Chinese-speaking media.

As a "senior employee" of Star Media, Liu Wendi, who is good at business, has been promoted very quickly, and he can be called a man of the world~www.readwn.com~ After a few cordial conversations with Weng Jingjing, Liu Wendi Instead, he said flatly to the richest man: "Tang Sheng, without your scholarship, I would not be able to get a bachelor's degree from the University of California and an MBA from the Yale University School of Business, let alone today."

The richest man nodded slightly, "That is also how you are good enough and hard enough."

Liu Wendi, who was clearly affirmed, was very excited and tentatively asked: "After this banquet, does Tang Sheng have any other itineraries in Xiangjiang?"

The richest man replied indifferently, "I should be able to go around casually."

At this time, Jin Yong came, and the richest man got up and walked over.

Wendi Liu, who has not received clear information. A look of disappointment flashed across her face, and she turned her head and said to Weng Jingjing: "Presumably, Tang Sheng must be with Sister Mary well these days."

"A man's head is full of business." Weng Jingjing cut, "Aren't the technology stocks in the United States very hot? He came this time just to see how the Hong Kong stock market reacted."

...

Over there, Jin Yong joked: "Tang Sheng, I heard that a batch of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were transported by air for this banquet. It seems that I can save a fortune this fall."

Tang Huan laughed loudly, "Chaweng, you really have a good calculation."

"I seem to smell the fragrance of crabs." Jin Yong looked around and said, "The guests are almost there."

"The main thing is the Governor of Hong Kong." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "His identity is definitely going to be the finale."

At this time, a member of the Governor's House was led over.

I saw him smiling and saying, "Du Xian suddenly feels unwell and can't come."

After everyone heard the news, there was a lot of discussion.

The richest man said unhappily: "Why, is there a mad cow disease?"
