Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

In fact, this time Shi Zhijian was invited by Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi to attend the Hong Kong government night banquet, mostly thanks to the American tycoon Rockefeller.

Rockefeller, who goes by the pseudonym "Wang Fugui", was very happy in Hong Kong, especially Shi Zhijian, who helped him a lot. As an old financier with experience in shopping malls, Rockefeller decided to reciprocate and help Shi Zhijian before leaving to introduce this excellent young man. Let's get to know the Governor of Hong Kong.

Here, Dai Lingzhi was very happy to hear that Rockefeller accepted his invitation to the banquet.

You know, a dinner at Rockefeller was auctioned for one million Hong Kong dollars.

And he can have dinner with Rockefeller without spending a penny wearing Lingzhi. This kind of honor is not for everyone.

When Dai Lingzhi heard that Rockefeller wanted to introduce a young man to him, and this person was Shi Zhijian, a Chinese businessman, to be honest, Dai Lingzhi rejected and resisted it at first.

Since his succession, he has no good feelings for these trouble-loving Chinese businessmen, especially in the various riots that occurred during his tenure, he believes that those Chinese businessmen are behind it.

Since then, Dai Lingzhi has become even more repulsive to Chinese businessmen.

But Dai Lingzhi also understood that the land he was standing on belonged to the Chinese, and he had to deal with them no matter what he did. On the contrary, it is necessary to use good policies and tactics to appease them. Only in this way can this place be better managed.

Dai Lingzhi thought about it, and finally decided to meet Shi Zhijian. There was Rockefeller's introduction, and Dai Lingzhi wanted to meet this legendary young man who was like a meteor rising from Xiangjiang.

...

Hong Kong government night banquets have always been very solemn, and together with the traditional British gentleman's etiquette, it becomes more solemn and serious.

Shi Zhijian and Rockefeller met the Hong Kong tycoon in the concierge hall of the Hong Kong government.

Fifty-five years old, bald, white-haired, thin and wearing old-fashioned thick-framed glasses, perhaps because he was born in India and served in the Indian army, Dai Lingzhi's skin looks a little darker, and his appearance is closer to Indians.

But Shi Zhijian knew that it was this black, thin and inconspicuous guy who accomplished three major things during his tenure.

First, drinking water. Hong Kong suffered from water shortages throughout the 1960s, with a severe drought in 1963. As for Dai Lingzhi's tenure, there was also a severe drought in Hong Kong in the summer of 1967. At that time, Dai Lingzhi once announced the implementation of water control and implemented the policy of "water supply for four hours in four days".

Second, low-rent housing. Hong Kong's population in 1960 was about 3 million, but by 1971, it had soared to 4 million. In the context of rapid population growth, it has brought a sufficient labor force to Hong Kong, which has led to the rapid development of Hong Kong's manufacturing industry. Among them, the manufacturing of textiles, plastic flowers, wigs and toys is the most prosperous.

The rapid increase in population made housing supply a major test for the Hong Kong government at that time. During Dai Lingzhi's tenure, he inherited the "low-rent housing plan" of the former governor of Hong Kong, Sir Berwick, and vigorously built low-rent housing. From 1964 to 1971, a total of 12 low-rent housing estates were built in Hong Kong, with a total of 101 low-rent housing blocks, which greatly eased the housing pressure in Hong Kong.

Finally, the education aspect. Dai Lingzhi has always been particularly concerned about university education, and has successively established the Special Committee on Post-secondary Education and the University Grants Committee. Later, he pioneered compulsory compulsory education in Hong Kong. In the October 1970 "Policy Address", Dai Lingzhi announced the implementation of six-year compulsory primary education in 1971, and also legislated to punish parents who did not send their children to school. Based on Dai Lingzhi's compulsory primary education, MacLehose later implemented "Nine Years of Forced Free Education" in 1978, which further popularized education in Hong Kong.

It can be said that in these three aspects, Dai Lingzhi's greatest achievement in governing Hong Kong, and what he is most criticized for is the corruption of Hong Kong, especially the Royal Police Force, during his tenure in office!

During Dai Lingzhi's tenure, with the rapid increase in population and the rapid development of industry, corruption became a major problem during his tenure. Among them, the corruption of public officials is the most serious, and public officials accept bribes recklessly, causing the public to suffer greatly.

In the 1960s, corruption in civil servants was commonplace. Ambulancemen often charged "tea money" before sending patients to the hospital, firefighters charged "throat opening fees" before putting out fires, and even waiters in public hospitals asked patients for "reward money" ". As for the public services such as waiting for public housing and applying for admission, the public must first bribe the relevant public officials.

In addition, the corruption problem in the police force was the most serious of all government departments at that time. The police force was filled with a large number of bribe-taking police officers. They received large amounts of bribes by covering up various criminal activities, which made the social order and morals better. Bad.

During his tenure in office, Dai Lingzhi failed to effectively combat the serious corruption trend in the society, and whether he himself was corrupt has also become a mystery.

...

"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller!"

"Hello, Mr. Shi Zhijian!"

As the host, Dai Lingzhi first shook hands with Rockefeller and Shi Zhijian to say hello.

After the introduction, the three sat down.

Immediately after, Dai Lingzhi began to talk to Rockefeller.

Shi Zhijian, as an accompanying guest, did not have a chance to speak at all.

For many people, even if they don't speak up, it is enough honor to be able to sit with the Governor of Hong Kong. After going out, they can brag to others for a lifetime.

But for Shi Zhijian, this kind of situation is very common. This is the land of the Chinese people. Letting a ghost guy be the boss here already counts as a face for him. Do you need to be grateful to him?

Besides, Shi Zhijian has never seen any big scene as a past person, this kind of meeting will be in pediatrics.

So, when Rockefeller and Dai Lingzhi were talking, Shi Zhijian drank tea leisurely and contentedly, looked at the layout of Yingbin Mansion, and commented on the place in his heart.

Dai Lingzhi originally focused on the American tycoon Rockefeller, but slowly he noticed Shi Zhijian's leisurely self-satisfaction, which made Dai Lingzhi, who had strong self-esteem, stunned.

Who is he?

Governor of Hong Kong!

Here he is the biggest!

Many people will be very excited when they meet him, either their lips are trembling and they can't speak, their legs are weak, or they are at a loss.

What about Shi Zhijian? It's just a small Chinese businessman, drinking tea leisurely and daring to ignore him! Is it simply unreasonable? !

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi Zhijian? I heard that you are planning to build a Wharf warehouse. I have also read your plan. It is related to the development of Hong Kong's port and its external image. I think it is necessary to be cautious!" Dai Lingzhi Give Shi Zhijian a slap in the face, don't you ignore me? I won't let you start construction, what will you do?

Shi Zhijian was enjoying himself, but he didn't expect that the old man Dai Lingzhi's mind was sharper than the tip of a needle, which would lead to unpredictable disasters. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that maybe I didn't show an excited and nervous expression, which made the gulao Hong Kong governor feel dissatisfied.

It's a pity that this can't make up for it. It can't be sifted all over and lips trembling at this time.

Who is Rockefeller? As soon as he heard this, he understood that Dai Lingzhi was dissatisfied with Shi Zhijian, so he looked at Shi Zhijian with interest to see how he resolved the immediate crisis.

Shi Zhijian secretly moved his cheek muscles and turned on the upper body mode.

"I'm sorry, Lord Governor of Hong Kong, what did you just say?" Shi Zhijian made an expression of waking up from a big dream.

Dai Lingzhi's brows furrowed high, what did she mean, didn't you hear what I said just now? Is it behind the ears, or are you really ignoring me?

Shi Zhijian became "in a panic" and hurriedly said: "It's mainly because I was distracted just now, so I didn't hear clearly!"

"Uh, distracted?" Dai Lingzhi's face showed annoyance, "Mr. Shi, I kindly invite you to come over for dinner, it's fine if you don't follow manners, so..."

Before Dai Lingzhi could finish speaking, Shi Zhijian suddenly said solemnly, "Because I was shocked by a strange dragon shadow just now!"

"Uh, Long Ying?"

"Yeah, when I was drinking tea just now, I suddenly swept my eyes to the ground and saw a shadow in the shape of a golden dragon swept past! I was shocked at the time, and I was busy looking around, but I saw the shadow in the shape of you, Governor of Hong Kong. It disappeared from the body!" Shi Zhijian's expression was horrified, as if a dragon really got into Dai Lingzhi's body.

"Disappeared on me?" Dai Lingzhi blinked, believing her doubts.

Shi Zhijian stood up and pointed to those serving coffee and asked, "How about you? Did you see it?"

These people collectively shook their heads and said in their hearts, "I saw a ghost!"

Only one Chinese maid glanced at Shi Zhijian, and quickly said, "I have seen it, there is really a dragon shadow leaning over the Governor of Hong Kong! I can see it clearly, by the way, there are still five golden dragons. paw!"

Five-clawed golden dragon? !

"Uh? Is there really such a thing?" Dai Lingzhi also showed a look of astonishment.

Shi Zhijian continued: "According to our Chinese tradition, Hong Kong is a treasure land of feng shui that will give birth to many great people, especially those who are bent over by dragons are either the real dragon emperor or a prince! In my opinion, Hong Kong Governor, you are the incarnation of the dragon. what!"

Dai Lingzhi was taken aback by Shi Zhijian's words. He has been in Hong Kong for so long, and he has been influenced by Hong Kong people's feng shui to a certain extent, such as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. He has studied these auspicious babies.

Although he is not very happy with those Chinese businessmen who give him headaches, it does not prevent him from being a "true son of the heavens"---according to Chinese tradition, this is much more exciting than being a "queen"!

Rockefeller did not do much research on Chinese culture, and did not understand why the angry Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi suddenly smiled, as if it were a different person.

Rockefeller couldn't help but look at Shi Zhijian again. This time, he had to admire this young man who could always create miracles. He was always amazed by what he did.

The servants next to him saw that the Governor of Hong Kong was amused by Shi Zhijian, and they all gave Shi Zhijian a thumbs up secretly, saying, "If you are bragging, I will obey you!"

Shi Zhijian continued to open the "chicken soup for the soul" mode: "In addition, in my opinion, Mr. Hong Kong Governor, you may have to work hard for another year!"

"How do you say this?" Dai Lingzhi looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise.

The others also looked at the young man who kept making surprises.

"It's very simple. It is rumored that you are about to resign, Lord Governor of Hong Kong, but in my opinion you will have to work for another year! Dragon possessed, a great omen!"

"Ahem, Mr. Shi, don't talk nonsense! I don't believe this!" Dai Lingzhi held Shi Zhijian down.

Then he said to the maid who was singing and bragging with Shi Zhijian: "As for you, I heard that something happened to your family recently. Later, you can get a thousand dollars from the finances, even if it is some condolences from me!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hong Kong Governor! Thank you!" The maid was very grateful. There was indeed something in his family, but the stingy Hong Kong Governor did not give him the money he borrowed several times. He didn't expect to be so generous this time.

The other servants looked envious as the servants regretted not blowing water with Shi Zhijian just now and missed the opportunity to buy money.

At this moment, Dai Lingzhi has changed a lot about Shi Zhijian. Although he is not that kind of superstitious person, everyone likes to listen to good words. What's more, Shi Zhijian is not just a good word, because he hit Dai Lingzhi's "heart disease"!

As far as Shi Zhijian knows, Dai Lingzhi's term of office has expired. According to tradition, he will soon leave the camp and leave Hong Kong, a treasure land of feng shui, no, to be precise, a city of gold that is "gold everywhere", and rush to the United Kingdom to resume his post.

Dai Lingzhi is reluctant to give up!

Great situation now!

Everyone in Hong Kong has money to make, especially when an official makes more money!

With such a "good" atmosphere, how could he be willing to leave?

Shi Zhijian knew even more about ~www.readwn.com~ by May 29, the Queen of England would approve the extension of the term of office of Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi until October 1971.

That's why Shi Zhijian played such a "yellow robe with a body" scene along the way.

Dai Lingzhi was reluctant to give up the throne of Hong Kong Governor, Shi Zhijian gave him great "psychological comfort", so even if he knew it was fake, he was very happy!

This is human nature!

People always like to "seek advantages and avoid disadvantages"!

And Shi Zhijian's move has completely gone beyond the scope of touts and has reached the realm of psychology. It can be said that it is invincible!

...

Not to mention the next dinner party, Rockefeller, Shi Zhijian, Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi, and the Hong Kong Governor's wife and others gathered together happily.

The chefs of the Hong Kong Governor's Office are also first-class cooking experts.

During the banquet, with the blessing of Shi Zhijian's big scene, Governor Dai Gang was very satisfied with him. It can be said that the more he saw it, the more pleasing to the eye. Not only did he inquire about Shi Zhijian's career development during the banquet, but he also decided to support him!

There are fewer and fewer young people who can see the general trend clearly.

What's more, Wharf Construction and even a very important urban construction project during his reign of Dai Lingzhi, he must strongly support both public and private!

As the guest of honor tonight, Rockefeller never expected that Shi Zhijian would steal his limelight because of a bragging!

And this Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi hysteria?

How can an Englishman living in the age of scientific civilization believe in the nonsense of "the golden dragon leaning over"? !

So, Rockefeller looked at the excited Dai Lingzhi and secretly greeted the Governor of Hong Kong in Cantonese taught by Shi Zhijian---

I believe you a ghost!
