Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1577 1576 [Meeting late at night! 】

When the governor of Australia, Li Andao, met Shi Zhijian in a super formal manner in the living room of the Australian government, he was surprised.

Young, really too young, the problem is that he is so handsome, it would be a loss for such an outstanding young man not to make movies and become a star.

Especially tonight, Shi Zhijian did not wear a white suit as usual, but a very traditional white gown, gold-rimmed glasses, and a white folding fan in his hand.

"You are... Shi Zhijian, Mr. Shi?" Australian governor Li Andao asked after hesitating.

Shi Zhijian clasped his fists with a folding fan in his hand and smiled slightly at Li Andao: "I'm right here!"

Li Andao looked at Shi Zhijian with a look of astonishment.

Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to look at the interesting Governor of Macau in his last life.

I saw the other party in his sixties, tall, with a slightly hunchbacked back, white hair, green eyes, and a big nose, a typical Caucasian appearance.

The reason why Shi Zhijian thought this person was interesting was because Li Andao had just done a shocking thing when he became the governor of Macau in his previous life, that is, he took the initiative to find the representative office of China stationed in Macau, and wanted to discuss returning Macau to China, but The result was rejected by us.

The reason why Li Andao did this was not because of a whim, but was forced by the situation at the time.

It is said that in April 1974, Portugal's middle and lower military officers staged a coup and established a provisional government. As soon as Prime Minister Gonçalves of the interim government came to power, he immediately announced the implementation of Portugal's "decolonization" and gave up all overseas colonies.

It was under such circumstances that the Portuguese side approached the Chinese representative in Macau to discuss the return of Macau.

But our side is not stupid, and we can directly see that the move to wear Portugal is full of evil intentions. Because if Macau is returned according to the Portuguese method, it means that we recognize Macau as a "colony".

According to the "decolonization" policy, the colonies will be free, and this "freedom" includes "return" and "independence".

At that time, Portugal's "decolonization movement" gave birth to a large number of newly independent countries.

For example, East Timor is an example. In the way of "granting freedom to the colonies", East Timor has the right to self-determination. Soon, a civil war broke out between the East Timor independence faction and the integration faction with Indonesia.

Finally, under the intervention of the United Nations, after paying the price of blood, East Timor gained independence.

Li Andao originally thought that he could leave a strong mark in history by virtue of this incident, but he didn't expect that the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

It wasn't until he continued to stay in the position of Governor of Macau that he realized that as a puppet sent by Portugal to Macau, his life was really difficult.

Li Andao has no right to speak in various matters in Macau, and occasionally he can only fight against the wind, get some benefits from the Macau bosses, and then send them home to improve his life.

To be precise, at this time, Li Andao had lost his ambitions and began to live a bad life in Macau.

With a snap, Shi Zhijian unfolded the folding fan very handsomely, looking like the thirteenth young man played by Zhang Guorong in the Hong Kong movie "Rouge Button" in the previous life.

Li Andao was amazed by Shi Zhijian's action again, and praised what a beautiful boy!

"I'm sorry, Lord Governor, to disturb you by coming so late!"

"It's okay. I heard Mr. Shi's name earlier. It's a great honor to see Mr. Shi here today! Please sit down!" Li Andao has been the governor of Australia for so many years, and it can't be said that he hasn't learned anything, at least these traditional Chinese etiquette And words, he still speaks very smoothly.

At the invitation of Li Andao, Shi Zhijian sat down on the sofa at the guest of honor.

A white man with the appearance of a male secretary stood behind Li Andao respectfully, hiding in the shadows, giving people a sense of mystery.

Li Andao didn't go to introduce him, and Shi Zhijian couldn't ask what the **** this male secretary was.

At this time, Yingying, a maid from the Australian government, stepped forward and served the brewed coffee.

Li Andao made another invitation gesture.

Shi Zhijian took a sip of the coffee and praised: "It tastes very good! It seems that I will come here more often in the future!"

"Hahaha! That's great!" Li Andao laughed heartily, "It's my honor to entertain Mr. Shi personally!"

Li Andao's words were not self-effacing. According to Shi Zhijian's current status, people who wanted to invite him to sit down and drink coffee were lined up. Don't forget that in addition to the nickname "Traitor Jian", Shi Zhijian also has a nickname called "Shen Caishen".

Then Shi Zhijian chatted with Li Andao for a few more words. Li Andao asked how the Shinhwa Group's business in Hong Kong was, and Shi Zhijian answered them one by one.

Soon, Shi Zhijian changed the topic to Macau again.

"To tell you the truth, Governor of Macau, after I came to Macau, I was really worried about Macau's economy!" Shi Zhijian said directly.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Li Andao leaned forward lightly, as if listening.

"Macau is a small place, and its economic development is too simple. It used to rely on shipping and gold trading. Now the shipping industry is being caught up by the aviation industry, and gold trading is restricted. Therefore, the economic focus has to be shifted to the gaming industry."

Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian talked about the development and rise of Macau's gaming industry, and made many incisive remarks to Andrew Lee.

These remarks were made by many economists in the previous life, as well as world-class tycoons who "criticized the current problems" of Macau. Now Shi Zhijian took it out and made it his own, which really shocked Li Andao.

No one noticed that the male secretary standing next to Li Andao trembled, and his expression was inexplicably astonished.

Although Li Andao was born in the military, he still has some research on the economy.

And the male secretary next to him, named "Gausta", was nominated as the "Minister of the Interior" of Macau not long ago. In addition, this person is also a big name in economics, and he has a very close relationship with Li Andao Unusually, he came to Macau alone to assist Li Andao.

Unexpectedly, Macau was controlled by the local family bosses, and he, a white man with a background in economics, was useless at all.

Li Andao came back to his senses and noticed that Shi Zhijian was observing Costa, and immediately introduced with a smile: "This is my personal secretary, and also our new Minister of the Interior of Macau - Costa!"

Shi Zhijian felt a little familiar when he heard the name, and soon he remembered that this Costa seemed to be the governor of Australia in the future, and he was the best one.

"It turned out to be Mr. Costa, nice to meet you!" Shi Zhijian took the initiative to shake hands with Costa.

Costa himself is an arrogant person, and he doesn't like these Hong Kong tycoons, but Shi Zhijian's incisive remarks just now directly shocked him, making him look at Shi Zhijian with admiration, and dare not classify Shi Zhijian as an ordinary Hong Kong tycoon.

"Hello, Mr. Shi, I'm glad to meet you too!" Gosta stepped out of the shadows, in his forties, in the prime of life.

"I still have something to ask about Mr. Shi's remarks just now—"

"Excuse me!"

"Since you said that it is not enough for Macau's economy to rely solely on the gaming industry, but the gaming industry must be the leader of Macau's economy, then a contradiction arises. How to coordinate the status of the gaming industry in Macau's economy? Do you rely heavily on it, or slowly abandon it? "In fact, what Goldstar asked Shi Zhijian is the economic contradiction theory in economics, which belongs to the professional field.

I thought that Shi Zhijian would at least think about it before answering, but Shi Zhijian got straight to the point: "Adam Smith, the author of "The Wealth of Nations", once said that any contradiction in this world can be reconciled!"

After a pause, he continued: "Macau's gaming industry is developing and growing. If there is no guidance and restraint, it will become deformed. Before it becomes deformed, we must do something! First of all, what we have to do is to guide Macau to become a tourist city. Excessively, tell people all over the world that in addition to the casinos, Macau also has many places of interest, delicious food and snacks, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and the climate is pleasant, and the ocean is a good place for vacation and leisure!"

Shi Zhijian talked eloquently and briefly stated some plans for the development of Macau tourism in the previous life.

As expected, these remarks were very common in the last life, but they are thought-provoking in this era, which surprised Li Andao and Costa once again.

In their eyes, Shi Zhijian is no longer just a Hong Kong tycoon or a businessman, but a politician and an economist who seeks long-term development!

Soon, after Shi Zhijian finished his speech on guiding Macau's tourism development strategy, Li Andao and Costa were both unsatisfied.

"Then dear Mr. Shi, in addition to these, you just said that Macau's gaming industry must develop in a controlled manner, so as not to turn it into a monster. Then I would like to ask how to control it?"

Seeing Li Andao asking this question, Shi Zhijian smiled.

He laid the groundwork so much back and forth, and even came so late tonight, just for this sentence.
