After the two British guys left, Zhou Hexuan greeted Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe warmly and said with a smile: "You are all Wei Lie's classmates. Don't be restrained, just like returning to your own home. I will stay at home these days.
After the port is opened to navigation, I will ask someone to buy you tickets."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe said quickly.
It's a pity that Zhou Hexuan doesn't know much about mathematicians. He has no idea that these two young people are both future masters.
Zhong Kailai would choose to stay in the United States and serve as the chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University until his retirement. He is recognized as the academic godfather of probability in the second half of the 20th century. He first studied physics and felt that everything Wu Youxun taught was in the book.
So he studied on his own and skipped classes. After being caught by Wu Youxun and scolded him, Zhong Kailai was worried that he would not be able to survive in the physics department, so he decisively transferred to the mathematics department.
Min Sihe chose to return to his motherland. He is a devout Christian. There are some things that I cannot elaborate on. It is enough to know that he is Chen Jingrun's mentor.
Since the villa had been abandoned for many years and many areas were severely damaged, Zhou Hexuan could only ask the servants to urgently clean up several rooms, which was barely enough for everyone to live and rest. Even drinking water was difficult here, so he sent people to buy water from the mountains and take the cable car to transport it up.
, you have to burn firewood for cooking. And because of the difficulty in transporting materials, the cost of repairing this villa is almost enough to build another one down the mountain.
But Zhou Hexuan still bought it without hesitation, for no other reason than because the summer here is very cool. When he originally chose to build a villa on the top of the mountain, the real idea of the Hong Kong governor was to escape the summer heat...
As for standing on your balcony and enjoying the scenery of most of Hong Kong Island, this is a side effect that is not considered.
The most useless thing is the pretentiousness. In a few years, no one with money will even think about buying a house on Victoria Peak. Those rich people can only gather together to buy houses on the mountainside, the so-called "mid-level villas". In the future, Hong Kong's Superman and Jazz will
, the tycoons, to put it bluntly, all live under the feet of Zhou Hexuan.
At night, after both Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe fell asleep, Zhou Weilie came to his father's room. He did not have the impulse of half a day, but asked with endless doubts: "Dad, China cannot take back Hong Kong because its national power is too weak."
?"
"No," Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "If the Nationalist Government were tougher and sent troops directly to cross the New Territories before the British warships arrived in Hong Kong, then most of the Japanese garrison would not dare to take the initiative to shoot. This would create the established fact that China has taken back Hong Kong.
Britain would never dare to start a war rashly, they could only admit it with their noses pinched."
"Really?" Zhou Weilie said in surprise.
Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: "That's true. Because the current foreign policy of the British Labor Party government is extremely weak. As long as the Chinese army occupies Hong Kong in advance, they will at most issue a diplomatic note and quarrel. In order to weaken the British power in the Far East, the United States will inevitably choose to support
China took back Hong Kong. But the Nationalist government had too many worries. They were worried about the situation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at home, the international diplomatic situation between Britain and the United States, and they were even more afraid of twists and turns before Japan formally signed the surrender document. Therefore, the British government forced the President of the United States to express its position, and Truman sent a telegram
Let the Chinese troops stop their advance."
"If that's the case, why don't you advise Chairman Chiang Kai-shek?" Zhou Weilie asked.
Zhou Hexuan said depressedly: "I wrote to persuade him, but he couldn't be persuaded. I also suggested that Chairman Chiang send warships to take over the Ryukyu Islands, but now there is no news at all. Chairman Chiang's attention is not here now, he only focuses on the fall of Japan
We are dealing with the reception issue in the district and thinking about how to compete with the Communist Party."
Zhou Weilie said angrily: "Then Hong Kong was left to the British in vain?"
"Chairman Chiang is a relatively narrow-minded democrat, and he must have a patriotic spirit," Zhou Hexuan said. "I guess he definitely wants to take back Hong Kong and Macau, but he must wait until Japan formally signs the instrument of surrender.
, relied on intrigue and diplomacy to recover it.”
Zhou Weilie asked: "Can we take it back through diplomatic means?"
"Definitely not," Zhou Hexuan said: "The best opportunity has been missed. If China wants to take back Hong Kong, it must forcefully send troops to take it back before the British warships arrive. Hong Kong is a big fat piece of meat, and the British wolf has already eaten it.
It's in your mouth, how could you spit it out again?"
Historically, the Nationalist Government did want to take back Hong Kong, and also planned to take back Macau.
Hong Kong and Macao were integrated, and the British and Portuguese governments formed a direct alliance to oppose the Nationalist Government's takeover. After Japan formally signed the surrender document, the Nationalist Government immediately used force through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, secretly engaged in conspiracies, and even sent troops to blockade Macau.
But diplomacy was bound to be in vain, and conspiracies and tricks were even more nonsense. Instead, the Portuguese used the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to create a rift in the government.
What Chiang Kai-shek lacked most was the ability to make decisions at the last moment. The best opportunity to regain Hong Kong was only one month after Japan announced its surrender. But he missed it because he thought too much and had too many worries.
Seeing that his son was a little confused, Zhou Hexuan comforted him: "Actually, it is not a bad thing for Hong Kong and Macau to maintain the status quo."
"Is it still a good thing?" Zhou Weilie was confused.
Zhou Hexuan said: "You will know in a few years."
Why did Zhou Hexuan choose to stay in Hong Kong? Because Hong Kong is the best place for working and living a small life.
In the next few decades, Hong Kong will be one of the places with the most spies in the world. It is called chaos. But this kind of chaos is the safest for Zhou Hexuan, who is rich and prestigious. He can take advantage of all parties.
Conflicts and connections flourish.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United Nations began a comprehensive blockade of China, and Hong Kong would become southern China's only window to the outside world.
By then, Zhou Hexuan can smuggle the scarce supplies to Macau, and then transfer them to the mainland. Macau is actually the territory of the Communist Party. Mr. He, the "King of Macau" is a die-hard supporter of the Communist Party. Even the right to print money in Macau is controlled by the Communist Party.
In the hands of Mr.
How did Mr. Huo in Hong Kong start his business? He relied on smuggling goods to Macau and directly obtained the mainland's river sand franchise in Hong Kong. If Hong Kong wants to build infrastructure, it must use the mainland's river sand. Therefore, Mr. Huo is called
As the "Czar" of Hong Kong, all real estate developers have to look at his face to act.
Zhou Hexuan doesn't want to be the czar of Hong Kong. He just needs to have good relations with the mainland. Moreover, he is not afraid of offending Britain and the United States because the two countries have too many conflicts that they can exploit. They will only choose to turn a blind eye to smuggling goods to the mainland.
Close one eye.
Hong Kong is a very interesting place.
However, we must first establish our own power. The first step is to contact the Hongmen organization in Hong Kong, and the second step is to buy land and build a factory.
Before the war, Hong Kong had always relied on the shipping industry as its mainstay. However, after Britain and the United States blocked the mainland, Hong Kong's shipping industry declined rapidly and was replaced by the rise of light industry. Hong Kong became a financial capital in the 1980s because of the mainland's reforms.
Opening up has led to the rapid decline of Hong Kong's light industry, and it can only transform into a financial city.
In ten years at most, Zhou Hexuan will be confident of becoming the "King of Hong Kong".
