I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

1988 6 Month 6 Day.

Monday.

After the news spread yesterday, many people in Xiangjiang know that the Imperial Group attaches great importance to Mandarin.

And today.

Early in the morning.

Yang Ming got up early as usual, went swimming for a few laps, and then had breakfast with Yang Jirong and his wife. When Yang Ming was reading the newspapers there, judging from the current major newspapers in Hong Kong, almost all of them were reporting the news.

The Imperial Group announced that Mandarin will be the official language along with English. Among them, if you want to be transferred to a domestic branch to serve as a senior executive, you will even have to pass a Mandarin exam.

This has indeed had a huge impact on Xiangjiang.

The main reason is that the Empire Group now involves nearly two million full-time employees in Xiangjiang, as well as other part-time employees. If the families of those employees are included, it can be said that the involvement is very extensive.

In these newspapers, there are no other reporters or critics who have very, very sharp comments, thinking that this will have a devastating blow to the Cantonese language.

After Yang Ming read these reports.

After breakfast, Alina and Yingla took the car back to the headquarters of the Empire State Building to go to work.

. . .

09:30am.

Governor's Palace of Hong Kong.

At this time, the Governor-General's Office in Hong Kong also held a very important press conference.

Among them, Chief Secretary Wei Yixin presided over the meeting this time.

The conference room announced that Chinese would be promoted to the official language of the Governor-General's Palace in Hong Kong.

In other words, before this, the Government-General's Office in Hong Kong had always used English as its official language, and all meetings, documents, etc. were mainly in English.

However, now after announcing that Chinese is also the official language.

This means that in the future, not only English will be used in meetings of the Hong Kong Governor-General's Palace and even other departments, but Chinese will also be the most important official language.

There will even be two copies of the document.

One copy is in English.

One copy is in Chinese.

This news was a shock to many reporters present.

First, it was reported yesterday that the Imperial Group has included Mandarin as an official language, and even used it as one of the selection methods for recruiting domestic management positions. However, what these reporters did not expect was that the Governor-General's Office in Hong Kong has also announced that Chinese is one of the official languages. .

This means that the influence on all walks of life in Hong Kong will be more legitimate and the influence will be greater.

Some reporters also thought that the reason why the Imperial Group announced the news in advance was probably because it received the news from the Governor's Mansion in advance.

However, they felt that there must be a reason why the Imperial Group did that.

"As for why we did that? We made it in full compliance with the 1984 negotiation provisions."

1984 years.

The outside world knows about the negotiations between China and Country Y.

However, the outside world does not know about these contents.

Now, Wei Yixin has announced these contents in person, and the reporters present have already understood.

"My Chinese is very poor. I hope I can improve a lot in the future." After the press conference, Wei Yixin said with some embarrassment to the reporters in front of him.

Given his status, he was unwilling to speak those Chinese languages ​​even to death.

However, there is no alternative.

The Governor wanted to do that, and he looked through the contents of the negotiations that year and found that there was indeed a requirement in this regard.

This time, the news that the Governor-General announced Mandarin (Chinese) as the official language was quickly spread by those reporters again.

This news once again shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong.

18:30 in the afternoon.

Last night, Li Jiacheng learned from his wife Zhuang Yueming that the Imperial Group suddenly announced that Mandarin would be the official language of the Imperial Group.

However, what Li Jiacheng didn't expect today was that the Xiangjiang Governor's Office was also announcing the news.

what does this mean?

This means that this matter is indeed not as simple as outsiders imagine.

"Madam, have you heard the news?"

"Sir, the evening newspapers are reporting this news."

The press conference at the Governor's Mansion was held in the morning.

And now all major evening newspapers in Hong Kong have reported the news.

After Zhuang Yueming took Li Jiacheng's suit and hung it up, he brought the newspapers and periodicals, and the front page news of the evening newspaper was all about this news.

After Li Jiacheng read it, he was surprised again.

"Sir, it looks like we have to follow up."

In fact, it is not difficult for them to learn Mandarin.

Moreover, Changjiu Industrial Group's domestic investment is now increasing, and Zhuang Yueming feels that Changjiang Industrial Group must follow up as soon as possible.

"Ma'am, you are right."

Li Jiacheng no longer has any problem with this matter.

After all, in the morning, when he saw the Imperial Group and its major groups appearing on the front pages of major newspapers and periodicals, they all announced the news about Mandarin as the official language.

He also knew that it was impossible to reverse this matter.

Now the Empire Group involves more than two million formal employees. It can be said that almost every family in Xiangjiang has someone working for Sir Yang and the Empire Group. The scope involved is really too wide.

If those managers want to continue to be promoted, they must not only speak English, but also Mandarin.

Li Jiacheng knows.

Sir Yang is changing Hong Kong.

Not only has it monopolized the economy of Xiangjiang, but it has also begun to intervene in various aspects of language and culture.

Bao family.

last night.

Wu Guangzhen discussed the news with his father-in-law Wu Guangzhen, and Wu Guangzhen knew that when the Imperial Group made changes, he would also follow up.

Sure enough, when the Governor-General announced that Chinese was the official language today, he knew that the impact of this incident was far beyond his imagination.

"Father, do you read these reports?"

Bao Yugang had already read the evening newspapers.

Originally, there were some reporters or commentators, and even people from all walks of life, who were sharply criticizing the Empire Group's actions, believing that the Empire Group's actions would be a devastating blow to the Cantonese language.

However, when the Governor's Mansion also announced that this news still had a legal basis, these critics were speechless.

"Guang Zhen, the world is like this. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Smart people will follow suit soon." Bao Yugang said.

In his opinion, since Sir Yang and the Imperial Group don't have to worry about what Europe and the United States think, who do they count?

"Father, are you saying that we should follow suit?"

"I won't learn it, but you have other younger generations, so it's also a good thing to learn more Mandarin."

. . .

Not long.

Although some people are still resisting the impact that Mandarin may have on their lives and work.

However, smart people have begun to take the initiative to learn Mandarin.

And Mandarin training classes soon began to appear in Xiangjiang.

Whether actively or passively, more and more ordinary people in Hong Kong are learning and accepting Mandarin.

That is to say, from now on, the Mandarin trend will begin to emerge in Xiangjiang.
