The United States of America supports the reform and development policies implemented by the Chinese government to revitalize the economy and improve people's living standards. ⊙ Apex Novel, welcome China to integrate into the global economy with a more open attitude!

These are the remarks Bush made during his half-day inspection in the SAR, and Li Xuan got the news right away. The deep-sea special zone was originally a test field for the central government. Until the second generation of the head of the southern tour, the voices of domestic support and opposition factions were still debating the meaning of the existence of the special zone.

As the vice president of the United States, Bush's remarks naturally represent the views of the US government, which is bound to make the deep-sea special zone the focus of the world's attention, and may also trigger domestic disputes and contradictions about the special zone in advance. Li Xuan also does not know what kind of impact this will have on the future. But at least for now, the picture tube factory invested by Dongfang Electronics in the Shekou Industrial Zone will become a model of Sino-US economic cooperation and will be escorted by the special zone.

Naturally, the U.S. government does not own a luxury royal yacht with a tonnage of over 5,000 tons, unlike the British royal family. In the 20th century, when airplanes have become the most convenient means of transportation, only the British royal family of the empire where the sun never sets still adheres to their maritime traditions and has been making royal yachts for hundreds of years.

Britannia is the 87th and last royal yacht. Li Xuan remembers its last mission, which was to leave Hong Kong with Prince Charles and the last Governor of Hong Kong more than a decade later, declaring the end of a colonial era. There is a text in the Chinese language textbook of the People's Education Edition describing the return of Hong Kong, "Farewell, Britanniac", which made countless Chinese students remember the name of the yacht.

Although the U.S. government does not have a royal yacht, the "Air Force One" and "Air Force Two" are specially used for the travel of the president and vice president. Bush's plane, Air Force Two. Like the private jet that Li Xuan customized for Boeing at the beginning of this year, it was modified with a Boeing 747. Li Xuan's private jet. It won't be delivered to him until next year at the earliest.

In 1982, the Deep Sea Special Zone had not yet begun to build an airport, and "Air Force Two" sent Vice President Bush from Beijing to Guangdong. Mr. Vice President took a special train from Guangdong to the Deep Sea Special Zone. In order to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he was willing to make such a toss, which was completely beyond Li Xuan's expectations.

After visiting the deep-sea special zone, Vice President Bush took Li Xuan's yacht from the dock of the Shekou Industrial Zone and left the mainland under the **** of the Chinese Navy, and then entered Hong Kong waters and was escorted by the patrol boats of the Hong Kong Marine Police.

Li Xuan's new yacht has been ordered and is being built in the dock of a famous Italian yacht company. Like the private jet, the 120-foot luxury yacht will have to wait a long time for delivery. So Vice President Bush was on board this time. It was the 75-foot-long (23-meter) "Mermaid" before Li Xuan.

The "Mermaid" began to slow down slowly and slowly docked on the Queen's Wharf. Li Xuan and Governor Youde next to him also stopped communicating and were ready to welcome the distinguished guests ashore. The two exchanged a lot of topics while they were waiting.

For example, for the preparatory work of the City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, Li Xuan, as the chairman of the preparatory committee, under his strong promotion, the preparatory committee has convened education experts to hold two seminars in London and Hong Kong. The school site was preliminarily determined, and the Hong Kong government agreed to set aside a land area of ​​15 hectares in Kowloon Tong as the permanent site of the City Polytechnic Institute. And Li Xuan also introduced it to His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong. The preparatory committee is selecting the latest progress of the first dean of the school around the world.

As expected by Li Xuan, Sir Youde arrived in Hong Kong at the beginning of the year and faced a surge of public opinion. Therefore, when he first explained his policy agenda to the people of Hong Kong, it was in the next period of time. A series of commitments have been made on the Hong Kong government's policies on education, industry, and people's livelihood.

For example, it will increase its efforts to support the transformation and upgrading of Hong Kong's industry, and for example, it will continue to promote the construction of higher education in Hong Kong. Another time and space, after the British completed negotiations on the Hong Kong issue. It changed the previous colonial style and began to vigorously support the liberal-ideological trend. Especially in the early nineties. After the last Governor Patten took office, he used a series of means to speed up the so-called democratization of Hong Kong. It brought great trouble to the mainland government that took over later.

Before the 1980s, as a colony in Hong Kong, these voices were strongly suppressed. What the British Hong Kong government hopes most is for all Chinese to be docile second-class citizens. After Li Xuan acquired ATV, he intended to awaken Hong Kong people's awareness of public rights in advance, so that the colonial government could also feel the power of democracy.

It can be said that Li Xuan chose a very good time. The curtain of the Sino-British negotiation is about to start, and the Hong Kong government does not dare to suppress public opinion too harshly. Because the support of Hong Kong citizens is an important trump card for Thatcher to negotiate with Beijing in the future. And Li Xuan can just use Asia Television, one of the most important media channels in Hong Kong, to create a favorable atmosphere of public opinion, thus forcing the Hong Kong government to introduce a series of policies that are favorable to him.

For example, the Hong Kong government will increase funding for the University of Hong Kong and CUHK in the next financial plan to support the two universities to increase the number of degrees in the Department of Electronics. In addition, the Hong Kong government has also decided to allocate 20 million Hong Kong dollars to establish Hong Kong high-tech incubators in Shatin and Tai Po to support the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of Hong Kong people. The participation and support of the government is undoubtedly crucial to the development of the industry. No matter how powerful Li Xuan's personal power is, he cannot replace the role of the government.

And if you look at Youde's resume, he has never jumped out of the diplomatic field in his decades of work, and has no experience in local governance at all. The reason why Downing Street chose him to replace MacLehose as the Governor of Hong Kong was that he had served as ambassador to China from 1974 to 1978 and was a well-known China hand in the British Foreign Office.

Youde came to Hong Kong not to make Hong Kong better, but to use his diplomatic experience to help Thatcher's cabinet better deal with Beijing-Beijing. Therefore, if there is no strong public opinion behind the push and persecution, this Governor Youde's willingness to take the initiative to govern will not be too strong.

In addition to ATV, Li Xuan has acquired a 40% stake in Hong Kong Economic Journal and a 20% stake in Ming Pao in the past year. Li Xuan had private exchanges with the founders of the two newspapers, Mr. Lin Xingzhi and Mr. Jin Yong. Li Xuan has invested in two of the most serious and credible Chinese-language newspapers in Hong Kong, and will not directly participate in the management. However, ATV and the two newspapers will form a tacit understanding in the coverage of many news hot topics.

Meanwhile, Li Xuan is preparing to fully privatize Hong Kong's other serious English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post. His negotiators are close to reaching a deal with HSBC, the largest shareholder of the South China Morning Post. The South China Morning Post is a listed company. After Li Xuan's acquisition team takes over the equity in HSBC, it will issue a general offer to all shareholders, and then submit a privatization application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for delisting.

At this time, the "Mermaid" finally docked at Queen's Wharf, and Bush and his party walked out of the cabin. Li Xuan and Bush Sr are already old acquaintances. After the two cordially shook hands and exchanged a few words, Li Xuan focused all his attention. The other person beside Bush wore gold-rimmed glasses and had slightly hairy hair. On the white old man.

"Hello Chairman Long, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to Hong Kong to attend my wedding!" Li Xuan said sincerely.

Long Yi, who was called "red capitalist" by Chairman Mao, is currently the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This time, as a representative of the mainland central government, he came to Hong Kong to attend Li Xuan's wedding. He is also the first deputy-level leader in Hong Kong's history to officially set foot in Hong Kong. Before, only Prime Minister Zhou had transited in Hong Kong to attend various international diplomatic conferences.

Three years ago, Mr. Huo Yingdong's eldest son's wedding, the central government did not send such a high-level delegation. Li Xuan doesn't think that his relationship with the mainland can compare to Mr. Huo's face. Long Yiren came this time because of Charles and Bush Sr.

However, the mainland government has never recognized the legal rule of the United Kingdom over Hong Kong, so this time Long Yiren did not come to Hong Kong as the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. He came to Hong Kong as the general manager of China International-Trust and Investment Corporation.

In addition to attending Li Xuan's wedding, he will also communicate with the Hong Kong financial community as the president of Guosen Group to create momentum for the mainland's issuance of bonds in Hong Kong. At the same time, he will also meet with relatives of the Long family in Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~ So his visit to Hong Kong this time is a business, private trip, and try to play down the official status of the vice chairman of the CPPCC.

Standing not far from Li Xuan, there was a better-maintained old man who was also in his sixties. He is the helm of the Long family in Hong Kong, as well as Long Yiren's cousin, Long Hongqing.

In 1949, when the People's Liberation Army approached Shanghai and the sea, the long family of the former "flour king" and "cotton spinning king" fell apart. Some followed the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang to retreat to Taiwan, some moved to Hong Kong, and some lived overseas.

Long Hongqing is the best-developed one among the second-generation brothers of the Long family. Although his Nanyang textile factory was not as powerful as the Long family in Shanghai, it was also an important force in Hong Kong's textile industry. In recent years, Long Hongqing has handed over the textile factory in Hong Kong to his son, and he has turned his career focus to Taiwan, taking over the operation of the Shanghai Commercial Savings Bank, and turned into a banker.

This time he specially rushed back to Hong Kong from Taiwan to welcome his cousin's visit. And among the two Zhizi generation behind him, one is the son of Long Yiren, who was made a red tycoon by the Hong Kong media a few years later. It has not yet shown the powerful aura that later closed the Fragrant River. (To be continued..)
