When Australian Governor Li Andao saw Shi Zhijian in a super formal manner in the reception hall of the Australian Government, he was surprised.
He is young, he is too young, and 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 wore a very traditional white gown, gold-rimmed glasses, and a white folding fan. His whole person was elegant and full of classical literary style.
"Are you...Shi Zhijian, Mr. Shi?" Australian Governor Li Andao hesitated and asked.
Shi Zhijian held a folding fan with his hands clasped in fists and smiled at Li Andao: "That's right!"
Li Andao looked at Shi Zhijian with an expression still full of surprise.
Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to look at this rather interesting Governor of Macau in his previous life.
I saw that the man was in his sixties, tall, with a slightly hunched back, white hair, green eyes, and a big nose, a typical Caucasian appearance.
The reason why Shi Zhijian found this person interesting was because in his previous life, Andao Lee did something shocking as soon as he became the governor of Macau, that is, he took the initiative to find the Chinese Representative Office in Macau and wanted to negotiate to return Macau to China, but
The result was rejected by us.
I thought Shi Zhijian would at least think about it before answering, but I didn't expect Shi Zhijian to get straight to the point: "Adam Smith, the author of The Wealth of Nations, once said that any contradiction in the world can be reconciled!"
Shi Zhijian picked up the coffee, took a sip and praised: "It tastes very good! It looks like I will come here more often in the future!"
These remarks were made by many economists and world-class leaders in the previous life to "criticize the current ills" of Macau. Now that Shi Zhijian took them out and made them his own, Andao Li was really shocked.
Li Andao originally thought that he could leave a mark in history with this incident, but he did not expect that the bamboo basket would be empty.
Unexpectedly, Macau was controlled by local family bosses, and he, a white man with a background as an economist, had no use at all.
With a snap, Shi Zhijian unfolded the folding fan in his hand very handsomely, looking like the Thirteenth Young Master played by Leslie Cheung in the previous Hong Kong movie "Rouge Button".
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian talked eloquently about the development and rise of Macau's gaming industry, and made many incisive remarks to Andao Lee.
The male secretary next to him, named "Costa", was recently nominated as the "Minister of the Interior" of Macau. In addition, this man is a big shot in economics and has a very close relationship with Andao Lee.
Unusually, he came to Macau alone to assist Li Andao.
Li Andao made another invitation gesture.
Finally, with the intervention of the United Nations and after paying a bloody price, East Timor gained independence.
For example, East Timor is an example. By "giving freedom to the colonies", East Timor had the right to self-determination. Soon a civil war broke out between East Timor's independent faction and those who advocated merger with Indonesia.
Only when he continued to stay in the position of Governor of Macau did he realize that as a puppet sent by Portugal to Macau, his life was really difficult.
When Shi Zhijian heard the name, he felt it sounded familiar, and soon he remembered that this Gausda seemed to be the governor of Australia in the future, and he was the most outstanding one.
Li Andao's words are not self-effacing. According to Shi Zhijian's current status, people who want to invite him to sit down and drink coffee with him are queuing up. Don't forget that in addition to the nickname "Treacherous Jian", Shi Zhijian also has a nickname:
"Stone God of Wealth", anyone who befriends him will have a hard time not developing.
At Li Andao's invitation, Shi Zhijian sat down on the sofa as the guest of honor.
"I'm sorry, Lord Aodu, for coming so late to bother you!"
“I still have something to ask about Mr. Shi’s remarks just now——”
"Hahaha! That's great!" Li Andao laughed heartily, "It's an honor for me to be able to entertain Mr. Shi personally!"
But we are not stupid, and we directly see that Portugal’s move contains evil intentions. Because if Macau is returned according to Portugal’s method, it means that we have recognized Macau as a “colony”.
According to the "decolonization" policy, the colonies will gain freedom, and this "gaining freedom" includes "return" and "independence".
Li Andao didn't introduce him, and Shi Zhijian couldn't ask him who the male secretary was.
"To be honest, Mr. Governor of Macau, I am really worried about Macau's economy after I came to Macau!" Shi Zhijian said directly.
Li Andao came back to his senses and noticed Shi Zhijian observing Gao Star, and immediately introduced with a smile: "This is my personal secretary and our new Minister of the Interior of Macau-Gao Star!"
A white man who looked like a male secretary stood respectfully behind Li Andao, hiding in the shadows, giving people a sense of mystery.
"Since you said that there are some shortcomings in Macau's economy relying 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? Should we rely more on it, or should we slowly abandon it?
"In fact, what Costa asked Shi Zhijian was about the theory of economic contradictions in economics, which belongs to the professional field.
As expected, these remarks were very common in the previous life, but in this era they are thought-provoking, surprising both Andao Lee and Costa again.
"It's okay. I've heard about Mr. Shi a long time ago. I'm so lucky to be able to meet him here today! Please sit down quickly!" Li Andao has been the governor of Australia for so many years. It can't be said that he hasn't learned anything, at least these traditional Chinese etiquette.
As for his words, he speaks very smoothly.
The reason why Li Andao did this was not because of a whim, but because he was forced by the situation at that time.
"Hello, Mr. Shi, I'm glad to meet you too!" Costa came out of the shadows. He was in his forties and in the prime of life.
Costa himself is an arrogant person and does not like these Hong Kong tycoons. However, Shi Zhijian's incisive remarks just now directly shocked him and made him look at Shi Zhijian with admiration. He did not dare to classify Shi Zhijian as an ordinary Hong Kong tycoon.
At this time, Yingying, the maid of the Ao Mansion, came forward and served the brewed coffee.
Although Li Andao was born in the military, he still has some research on economics.
Soon, Shi Zhijian shifted the topic to Macau again.
After a pause, he continued: "Macau's gaming industry is developing and growing. If there is no guidance and no restraint, it will become deformed. But 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.
Excessive, tell people all over the world that in addition to many casinos, Macau also has many scenic spots and historical sites, a lot of delicious food and snacks, and it has a pleasant climate and is close to the ocean. It is a good place for vacation and leisure!"
Shi Zhijian talked eloquently and briefly stated some of the plans for Macau's tourism development in the previous generation.
"It turns out to be Mr. Costa. Nice to meet you!" Shi Zhijian took the initiative to shake hands with Gaustar.
"Excuse me!"
It is said that in April 1974, middle- and lower-level Portuguese military officers staged a coup and established a provisional government. As soon as Prime Minister Goncalves of the provisional government came to power, he immediately announced the implementation of Portugal's "decolonization" and the abandonment of all overseas colonies.
Next, Shi Zhijian and Li Andao chatted for a while. Li Andao asked how the business of Shinhwa Group in Hong Kong was, and Shi Zhijian answered one by one.
No one noticed that the male secretary standing next to Li Andao trembled, and his expression was even more astonished.
"Macau is a small place and its economic development is too single. 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, so it has to shift its economic focus to the gaming industry."
Li Andao was once again amazed by Shi Zhijian's action and praised what a beautiful boy he is!
To be precise, Li Andao no longer had any ambitions at this time and began to live a messy life in Macau.
It was under this circumstance that the Portuguese side approached the Chinese representative in Macao to discuss the return of Macao.
"Oh, how do you say this?" Li Andao leaned forward gently, as if listening.
At that time, Portugal's "decolonization movement" gave birth to a large number of newly independent countries.
Li Andao has no say in various affairs in Macau. He can only take advantage of the autumn wind occasionally, get some benefits from the big bosses in Macau, and then mail it home to improve his life.
At this moment, in their eyes, Shi Zhijian is no longer just a Hong Kong tycoon or a businessman, but a politician and economist who pursues long-term development!
Soon, when Shi Zhijian finished explaining the strategy for guiding Macao's tourism development, Andao Lee and Costa looked unsatisfied.
"Well, dear Mr. Shi, in addition to these, you just said that Macau's gaming industry must develop in a controlled and controlled manner to prevent it from turning into a monster. So I would like to ask how to control it?"
Seeing Li Andao ask this question, Shi Zhijian smiled.
He has laid so much groundwork and even came here so late tonight just for these words.
