Mai Lihao drank red wine with a depressed look on his face.
Opposite him, Sir Bailiqu sat on the sofa, put the staff of civilization by his legs, shook the red wine in his hand and said: "Now you see, as I said before, that Shi Zhijian is unreliable! I don't know what magic he used,
You actually got London to nod and agree to compete with you for the governorship of Hong Kong this time!"
"Hong Kong belongs to us British, and Hong Kong must be managed by us British! So I fully support you this time!"
After Bailiqu finished speaking, he looked at Mai Lihao, his old rival.
"Damn it!" Mai Lihao drank the red wine in the glass. "I used to be too good to him. I supported him every time he did something, but in the end, he actually wanted to replace me!"
"Haha, so those Chinese are unreliable!" Bailiqu fanned the flames and said, "The Chinese are notoriously treacherous, especially Shi Zhijian, who was called a treacherous god when he was in Hong Kong, and even more so outside.
He is like a fish in water. After causing harm to the United Kingdom, he went to Germany, France, and now the United States! In short, this guy is a monster, and you must be vigilant!"
Mai Lihao picked up the red wine and poured himself another glass, and said angrily: "I understand this truth, but the situation is critical now. Shi Zhijian is very famous in Hong Kong. If I hadn't driven him from Hong Kong to the United States the year before last, maybe he would be here now
More popular!”
After speaking, Mai Lihao glanced at Bailiqu and said meaningfully: "You also know that the achievements he has made in Hong Kong are incomparable to you and me!"
Bailiqu remained silent.
Indeed, almost everything Shi Zhijian did in Hong Kong back then was earth-shattering.
First, he built a water tower for the people in Shek Kip Mei to solve the water problem that had not been solved for many years. Then he proposed "equality between men and women" as a member of the parliament, completely abolishing the "polygamy" system in Hong Kong's Qing laws.
Secondly, at the suggestion of Shi Zhijian, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, thus cracking down on the most rampant money-collecting activities in Hong Kong and moving Hong Kong from darkness to light.
Finally, Shi Zhijian single-handedly proposed the construction of the Hong Kong-Macau Bridge to connect Hong Kong and Macau in one fell swoop, and once again won applause from the people.
It can be said that Shi Zhijian has done more things in Hong Kong than the Governor of Hong Kong, John Mak.
So much so that privately many Chinese people have rumored that "Shi Zhijian is a veritable private governor of Hong Kong."
If everyone just spreads rumors like this, that's it. Mak Lihao can only listen to it. After all, Shi Zhijian is deeply rooted in Hong Kong. As the governor of Hong Kong, he still relies on Shi Zhijian for help in many things.
But now, Shi Zhijian actually wants to run for the position of the next Hong Kong Governor with him. This is simply robbing him of his job.
"I understand everything you said! Indeed, I am not as good as him in terms of people's livelihood and Hong Kong's infrastructure, but I have worked hard for Hong Kong. Everyone has seen everything I have done in the past few years in office, including building tunnels and building Hung Hom.
Sports director, by the way, I also renovated the Hong Kong Airport...Can't everyone see all this?" Mai Lihao said angrily.
"It's not that everyone can't see it, but Shi Zhijian's image is too tall and blocks you!" Bailiqu said, "You know, there are no two suns in the sky. If one sun is too dazzling, then the other one will
Eclipsed! Unfortunately, you are the eclipsed sun!"
Mai Lihao became anxious. Zeng Di stood up and said, "Don't I have a chance to win against him? I will definitely lose to him in this election?"
"How could it be? Haha!" Bailiqu's eyes flashed with the light of an old fox, "The Chinese are very particular about human nature and sophistication, so we don't have to worry, we have to focus on the heart!"
"The most important thing is to attack the heart?"
"Yes!" Bailiqu said slowly, "First write a letter to Shi Zhijian and explain your friendship with him in the letter! Then ask him if he will return to Hong Kong? If he answers yes, then it means that he
I decide to fight with you and run for Hong Kong Governor; on the contrary, you don’t have to worry too much and can continue to be reelected as your Hong Kong Governor with peace of mind!”
Mai Lihao held his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Baili Channel: "But what if he comes back?"
"Haha, it's good to come back!" Bailiqu stood up from his seat holding the civilized staff. He felt that he was getting old, and even standing up was a bit difficult now.
Although he thought this way, Bailiqu remained calm on the surface. After standing firm, he said: "Don't forget, Hong Kong is the Hong Kong of us British! We have ruled here for more than a hundred years, and the Chinese have long been accustomed to our rule! What's more?
-----"
Bailiqu's eyes revealed a sly smile: "Besides, our British Empire's elections have always been very democratic. Although the Hong Kong Governor is directly appointed by London, he must also go through parliamentary elections. What do you think?
Will you help a Chinese person to compete with you for the position of Governor of Hong Kong?"
Mak Lihao laughed when he heard this, but immediately said: "But this time London has devolved the electoral power to the Hong Kong Parliament. In order to demonstrate democracy and freedom, we must elect the Hong Kong Governor ourselves——"
"What's the difference?" Bailiqu sneered, "The authorities are confused, but onlookers know clearly! The Hong Kong Parliament is basically copied from the London Parliament. Moreover, although there are Chinese members in the Hong Kong Parliament, there are only seven or eight out of hundreds of them.
Not even 10%! To take a step back, even if these Chinese MPs all support Shi Zhijian as Hong Kong Governor, what about the other 90-odd MPs? They are all British! Just like you and me, they are British.
The noble blood of the empire, they will never support a foreigner, and the lowest and most despicable Chinese, to be the governor of Hong Kong!"
Bailiqu's words made Mai Lihao nod frequently, "That's right! You're right, even if Shi Zhijian really wants to compete with me, he has no chance of defeating me! I just overthought it and thought he was popular among the people of Hong Kong.
Xiang Xiang, when the time comes, everyone will elect him, but forget that Hong Kong is controlled by the parliament, and those Hong Kong people have no right to elect him! God, I was careless just now and made you laugh!"
"Haha, it's okay! As long as you can think clearly!" Bailiqu said with a smile, "Anyway, we are ready now. As for you, just write to Shi Zhijian and play the emotional card! As for me, I will help you contact the parliament.
Those colleagues, no matter how Shi Zhijian reacts, we can be sure of victory!"
"Haha! Thank you so much!" Mai Lihao personally escorted Bailiqu out. "If I can be re-elected this time, Sir, you will be my great hero, and I will continue to reserve the throne of the judicial boss for you!"
"Haha, it's good to have your words!" Bailiqu's eyes flashed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
