Everyone is paying attention to every word and deed of the new Governor, because everyone As we all know, the most important task for Youde when he came to Hong Kong was to negotiate with the mainland government on the future of Hong Kong.

In April this year, in order to alleviate the decline of the domestic economy, the Argentine government decided to militarily occupy the Falklands, which was originally a British colony.

The reputation of the "Empire on which the sun never sets" can be challenged by Germany, Japan, and the United States, but no matter what, it will take turns. Less than an Argentina.

As a result, Britain dispatched its only aircraft carrier battle group, and the two sides launched the largest joint operation since the Cold War, involving the three services of sea, land and air. In the end, the British army won.

Although more than two hundred soldiers were lost, Thatcher, the then British Prime Minister and Iron Lady, also gained great reputation domestically and internationally through this war.

Both are British colonies. Xiangjiang and the Falklands are exactly the same in nature. The Falklands are actually just a group of islands. The economic benefits are low. If it were not for the dignity of the "British Empire", the British government would not go all the way. Fight this battle.

But Xiangjiang is different. Xiangjiang's status is much higher than that of Falklands. It is currently one of the top ten cities in the world. Its status in Asia is second only to Tokyo. The British government naturally hopes to retain this Pearl of the Orient permanently.

Since the British victory in the Falklands War in June, some rumors have been circulating in Hong Kong. The British are unwilling to let go of Hong Kong, and the mainland government will not give in. The two sides are likely to break out again in Asia's Falklands War. .

As a result, throughout the summer in Xiangjiang, the stock exchange has been in a state of long-term decline, and real estate transactions have become difficult. Real estate sales, which were originally high-profile, had to put down their airs and launched flyers at various commercial intersections.

Although many people believe that it is unlikely that a war will break out between the two P5 countries, many wealthy people are unwilling to bet on such a thing. Even if there is a 99.9% probability that it will not happen, they do not dare to bet on their wealth and life. Many of them have already Pack your luggage early and wait for the news.

After the major media learned about it, they prepared to send their best teams to the capital to inquire about the news. Fortunately, in order to facilitate Hong Kong tourists and businessmen to travel and invest in the mainland, the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong has long opened a green channel for Hong Kong people. Reporters from newspapers, media, wireless and Asia TV successfully passed the review and rushed to the capital quickly.

This is a matter that affects the lives and fortunes of the five million people in Hong Kong. TVB and ATV, the two major TV stations, are constantly broadcasting live broadcasts, and many entertainment programs have given way.

On September 24, the Iron Lady and the British diplomatic team held formal negotiations with relevant mainland government departments at the Great Hall of the People.

The negotiation process was not open to any media, and many reporters could only wait anxiously at the door of the Great Hall of the People.

The two major TV stations in Xiangjiang invited different experts to conduct professional analysis when the meeting in Beijing was held. Everyone listened clearly, but when they came back to their senses, they found that the expert had been talking for a long time, which was equivalent to It's a bunch of nonsense, describing all the possibilities, and the analysis is succinct, but it doesn't dare to make any substantive speculations.

Two hours later, the host who was having a quarrel with the experts suddenly received a reminder in the headset and immediately said: "Viewers, reporters in Beijing have received the latest news. Now we will hand over the camera to the frontline reporters in front."

The picture suddenly changed, and a picture of the Great Hall of the People appeared on the TV.

Not only Xiangjiang, but also many national media and TV stations in Europe and the United States sent their own reporters. Everyone was trying to get closer to the door, but countless security personnel blocked the way. They could only take pictures from a distance. material.

At the entrance of the Great Hall of the People, a group of people in suits and ties walked out. It was the British diplomatic team. Among them, the Iron Lady Thatcher was very conspicuous. She was wearing a blue women's suit and had a serious expression on her face. She seemed to be thinking about something. , and occasionally chat with the consultants around you.

As if because she was too preoccupied, the Iron Lady suddenly stepped into the air when she walked down the stairs, and her body leaned forward uncontrollably. However, the bodyguard beside her was very professional and quickly held her right hand to prevent it from happening. An even more embarrassing picture.

Not only did he fall at the door of the Great Hall of the People, but he also fell in front of countless reporters. Although the bodyguard responded quickly, the three-second fall was still recorded by the photographer, and the photos were even taken Hundreds of them.

After the shocked Iron Lady stood up, she picked up her satchel that was scattered on the floor, whispered a few words to the people around her, and then acted as if nothing had happened, and walked into the waiting car normally.

The reporters came over enthusiastically, but the Chinese and British security staff worked together to block the flood. Until the car left, Thatcher did not answer any reporters' questions.

That afternoon, the news of the Iron Lady wrestling in front of the Great Hall of the People quickly spread from the capital to all over the world. At this moment, the world was shocked.

Prime Ministers, Presidents, and Emperors are all ordinary people. It doesn't matter if they fall down. Everyone will experience this kind of thing.

No one says that those in power must avoid wrestling.

However, on the same day, the mainland's foreign affairs department held a press conference, proposing that in 1997, the mainland government would take back sovereignty and jurisdiction over Hong Kong in accordance with international laws, and proposed the policy of "one country, two systems".

The mainland government's tough attitude is recognized by the world, and Thatcher's fall at the door of the Great Hall of the People made countless people interpret other meanings.

After all, although people can fall, most of them only happen when they are disturbed. They had just gone through an international negotiation. What made Thatcher so worried?

"war!"

This is an idea put forward by a small number of thoughtful Xiangjiang people, and through the media, the whole thing is further demonized.

For a time, the entire Xiangjiang was shrouded in the dark clouds of war.

The Hang Seng Index fell by 150 points at the close of the day.

The next morning, as soon as the exchange opened, countless sell orders were placed, and many people were so anxious that they felt like jumping off the building.

This is true for the stock market, but the real estate market, which is more important in terms of market size in Xiangjiang, has been hit even harder.

In fact, as early as August, the Hong Kong government sold the land at the Murray Road parking lot in Central District to the Bank of China for HK$1 billion, which had already impacted the market. The price of this land a few months ago was at least 25 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The fall in land prices has become inevitable.
