Seeing that the heads of the following families were silent, MacLehose said: "I know some of your thoughts, and I would like to express my position here. No matter what opinions you express today, our Xiangjiang government will never target any of your major families.
If something happens, you don’t have to worry at all.”
MacLehose said so, but the heads of the major families didn't think so. It's better to just be shy today. It's not easy to express your position here. If you are not careful, the family's foundation can be destroyed.
MacLehose knew that it would not be easy to get something out of the mouths of these old foxes today, so he changed his target.
He said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li Guangyu, as the idol of countless people in Hong Kong, you also have the right and the obligation to put forward your own opinions on the Hong Kong issue. I want to hear your opinion."
Li Guangyu didn't expect that the Governor would name him to take the lead, which was really a big deal. Even if Li Guangyu didn't want to, he had to respond, otherwise he would lose MacLehose's face and his life would be difficult in the future.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Governor, I really don't understand much about the Hong Kong issue. I am still a teenager under the age of 18, and the Hong Kong issue involves the two big countries of China and Britain. This is not something I can get involved in."
"At the same time, everyone sitting now is my elders, and several of my uncles are present. This kind of thing is not something that a junior like me can participate in. I follow the decisions of my uncles." Li Guangyu directly threw the pot to Stanley Ho.
, Luode Cheng and the others.
MacLehose was helpless when he saw what Li Guangyu said. He originally thought that Li Guangyu was young and must be more impulsive. Maybe he could say something to open up the current situation. Unexpectedly, Li Guangyu just said that he was young and had elders present.
I was pushed back for some reason.
MacLehose knew that it would be very difficult to get the upper-class Chinese families in Xiangjiang to clearly side with him. He originally thought that he could win these families over to his side, so as to increase the bargaining chips for this trip north, but unfortunately this plan did not work out.
.
MacLehose said: "The issue of Hong Kong is not only an issue between China and Britain. It is also related to everyone's development. I hope everyone can consider it carefully. You know, the development of Hong Kong today is hard-won, and I don't think everyone wants it."
There have been big changes in Hong Kong’s policies.”
Then MacLehose also talked about other issues about Xiangjiang and the possible situation of Xiangjiang returning to the mainland in the future. Anyway, he wanted to draw the major families to the British side.
…
After more than an hour in the small reception room, Li Guangyu and the others were able to arrive at the banquet hall.
At this time, the banquet hall was already full of people drinking wine. The heads of the medium-sized families in Xiangjiang and some officials from the Xiangjiang government were drinking red wine and talking to each other. The ladies also had their own circles with each other.
The reason why Li Guangyu sometimes doesn't want to attend these banquets is that other people bring their wives to the banquets. Li Guangyu is alone every time, which doesn't look very coordinated.
After Li Guangyu picked up some of his favorite food in the self-service area, he found a relatively quiet place to sit down.
At this time, Stanley Ho and Luo Dechen came over together.
Stanley Ho said to Li Guangyu: "Guangyu, you did a good job just now." Obviously Stanley Ho was very satisfied with Li Guangyu's reply just now.
Luo Decheng said: "The situation in Xiangjiang is getting more and more tense now. We have to be careful every step of the way. Especially Guangyu, you are a big influence now. Many people want you to express your stance. You must pay attention."
Li Guangyu said: "Two uncles, don't worry, I will be careful, and I plan to go to Japan and the United States for inspection in early April, just to avoid the limelight caused by the governor's visit to the mainland."
After hearing this, Stanley Ho said: "You might as well go out and take a look, otherwise all parties will definitely ask you to express your position on this matter next month, and it will not be easy for you to deal with it then."
Li Guangyu continued: "I originally planned to go to England, but seeing the current situation, I have canceled my plan to go there. The current situation is really not suitable for going there."
Stanley Ho said: "You just need to pay more attention to it. It is not something that the Hong Kong Governor can easily suppress if we are together."
Luo Luo Cheng changed the subject at this time and said: "Guangyu, look at you, you don't even have a female companion at these banquets, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that these two people were also concerned about his family affairs, Li Guangyu said to Luo Decheng: "Uncle, I am not yet eighteen years old. Is it too early to consider this now? I have no plans in this regard."
Stanley Ho said: "You will be eighteen this year. Besides, you are the only one in the Li family now. You must spread your business as soon as possible so that the family can have an heir, so that the development of your business can be more stable."
Luo Luo Cheng advised from the side: "Guangyu, you are not young now. You can get married this year. If it is not possible, you can get engaged first."
Li Guangyu was speechless for a while about his concern for his two uncles, and then he started worrying about my marriage.
Li Guangyu said: "Two uncles, I have never thought about this problem before. Now you suddenly ask me to find one, and I have no goal!"
Luo Decheng said: "As long as you are willing, it will be fine. As for the relationship, you can slowly cultivate it in the future. We will discuss this with your grandfather to see which family's daughter is suitable for you."
As for what Stanley Ho is thinking about now, Li Guangyu is not sure.
Li Guangyu said: "It's not easy to find someone at my age now. The elites of all the big families are studying. It's not easy. It's better to find someone with less ability for me."
Luo Luo Cheng said: "Don't worry about this, we will definitely find someone who is good and knowledgeable. As for studying, it is not a problem at all. You can get engaged first. Besides, the university doesn't care whether you are married or not?"
Li Guangyu knew that since the last time he was sick, his family had been planning to find a wife for him. Today, Luo Decheng said this to Li Guangyu. He Zuozhi must have said it, otherwise Luo Decheng would not be here at this time.
Duan said this.
As for which family to marry, He Zuozhi and the others must have some plans at present, and they are just waiting for Li Guangyu to decide.
Li Guangyu knew that there must be some Chaoqiong among them, otherwise Stanley Ho would not have said anything about this issue today.
Li Guangyu said: "Uncle, it's useless if I agree with this question. If I like a girl from a certain family, it doesn't matter if they don't agree."
Stanley Ho spoke at this time: "Guangyu, with your current performance, and our He family behind you, I don't think any family in Xiangjiang will refuse to marry you. As for whether the ladies from each family think highly of you, based on your
With her handsome appearance and her current career, I think it is unlikely that she will be rejected, and their family will not give her the chance to refuse."
Li Guangyu knew that it was completely impossible to escape now. Big families also have the helplessness of big families. Since you enjoy the rights given by the big family, you must have the obligation to pay for the family.
