At the end of June, the weather is hot and people's hearts are even hotter.
The whole country is in a state of excitement just for this grand event.
In the hotel in Victoria Bay, Xiao Qian was in a hurry.
"Is it okay for me to wear this? Will it look bad?"
Li Qingjue covered his forehead in pain.
"This Tang suit is very beautiful, but we specially made it to perfectly set off your temperament."
Xiao Qian shook his head.
"My temperament is not important, what is important is that it is worthy of such a significant historical moment."
Li Qingjue couldn't stand it anymore and started to complain.
"I think the most important thing is that the return ceremony is tomorrow. What's the use of preparing these now?"
"Ah... tomorrow!"
Li Qingjue had no choice but to help him put away the carefully prepared Tang suit.
"You are usually calm and composed, why are you so flustered this time?"
Xiao Qian walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the magnificent sea and sky outside the window with a special feeling.
"You don't understand. This is a very, very important historical moment. The history of our Chinese nation will enter a new chapter after tomorrow. That is our new journey, and we have to start a new path. But we haven't done it yet.
So prepared, but there are still a lot of omissions, which worries me a lot.”
Seeing his frown, Li Qingjue felt a pity in his heart.
"Although I don't know what you are talking about, if you have any concerns, you can tell grandpa. By the way, grandpa didn't let us go, let's go."
The two left the hotel and drove to 33 Sassoon Road.
The place had already been heavily guarded and no pedestrians or vehicles were allowed to pass. The two of them showed their passes before being led in.
This is the Huo family's mansion, where important people gathered today.
"grandfather."
Xiao Qian and Li Qingjue came together, attracting all the attention.
Li Zhen was very happy looking at his beautiful little children.
"Come, meet the elders."
Next to Li Zhen sat an old man with a slim figure but a strong spirit, with soft eyes showing perseverance.
Seeing this, everyone as proud as Xiao Qian was respectful.
"Mr. Huo, I wish you good health."
As long as you understand the deeds of this old gentleman, you can't help but admire him.
Mr. Huo was indeed kind and pulled Xiao Qian to him to take a closer look.
"This is Xiao Qian. They say she is a dragon and a phoenix among people, unparalleled in the world. When I saw her today, she was indeed extraordinary."
The people around him followed suit with their praises, most of which were sincere and even more flattering because of Li Zhen's face.
There are quite a lot of people gathered here today. In addition to Li Zhen and Mr. Huo, there are also the first Chief Executive Dong Sheng, the later Chief Executive Liang Sheng, etc.
At first glance, almost all people who will be staunch patriots in the future gather here.
It is not difficult to see from this that the country is well aware of the various aspects of Xiangjiang. However, it has underestimated the future situation, leaving too many hidden dangers.
Dong Sheng was full of worries.
"Mr. Li, although it is one country, two systems, it will be difficult if we cannot get support. Xiangjiang has a special status. If it is not handled well, it will become a big problem."
Li Zhen listened carefully, but couldn't do anything.
"Commander No. 1 will arrive tomorrow. You can report your concerns to him. My old man is retired now, so I shouldn't comment on these things."
This answer made Dong Sheng sigh and made him even more anxious.
But there was nothing Li Zhen could do.
If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political goals.
He has a special status and talks too much, which affects other people's work. This is not a good sign.
Xiao Qian watched quietly from the side and really understood many things that he had never understood in his previous life.
Today's conversation will obviously not be made public, but it represents the various causes and effects of Hong Kong's return.
The scene was extremely depressing, and no one spoke. The youngest Liang Sheng was impulsive several times, but when his words reached his lips, they turned into dejected sighs.
In fact, the more this situation occurs, the more important it is to say something.
On the contrary, the scenes that were made public seemed harmonious and harmonious, which was just the appearance.
Xiao Qian looked over, mainly focusing on Dong Sheng and Liang Sheng.
These two chief executives can almost be regarded as the ones who have the best interests of Hong Kong in mind. They spare no effort to safeguard Hong Kong and have a firm stance.
Unfortunately, the complex environment and strategic mistakes left them unable to do anything.
Today...maybe...is an opportunity.
Xiao Qian vaguely grasped something and suddenly spoke.
"Dong Sheng, what are you going to do after you take over as chief executive?"
Unexpectedly, he spoke, and everyone looked over in surprise. Li Qingjue was even more worried, and quietly squeezed his hand from behind.
In such an occasion, how could he, a junior, have the qualifications to speak?
Dong Sheng didn't think much about it and actually said it.
"Now that Hong Kong is about to return, many people among the people are full of doubts. I intend to do some good things that benefit the people and make the people truly feel the benefits of the return. I noticed that,
The housing problem of the people in Xiangjiang is urgent. The new generation of Xiangjiang people even have no fixed place to live. This is a big problem. After taking over, I plan to develop the vacant land and calm the real estate prices in Xiangjiang. If this is done well,
Then people’s emotions will be stabilized.”
His words made the other big guys nod their heads, apparently in agreement.
Only Xiao Qian sighed, knowing that if there was no influence, Dong Sheng would go back to the old path of his previous life.
In his previous life, Mr. Tung launched the famous "85,000 public housing plan" shortly after taking office, aiming to speed up the construction of public housing in Hong Kong and reduce the application speed for cage housing residents.
This was certainly a good policy that benefited the people, but in the end it ended in failure.
The reasons are complex.
First, after Xiangjiang's return, it encountered the Asian financial crisis.
The Hong Kong government has devoted all its efforts to resisting the attacks of hot money, but it is unable to do so. It still needs help from the state, so other plans naturally have to be suspended.
Secondly, with the steady growth of Hong Kong's economy, land has become a scarce and high-quality asset.
The amount of land available for trading on the market has decreased, leaving the Hong Kong government with no land available. Without land, is it still possible to implement the public housing plan?
The most important thing is of course the third point.
That is because Dong Sheng underestimated the shamelessness and greed of real estate tycoons such as Li Huanggua and mistakenly trusted these people.
The real estate in Xiangjiang has maintained a high level all year round, which is of course the real estate developers’ deliberate intention.
Relying on the high prices, these real estate developers make a lot of money, like leeches that have sucked blood, wantonly plundering the wealth of ordinary people's hard work.
Once the public housing program is implemented, real estate prices are bound to fall. And people who own houses will naturally have less urgent needs.
This will inevitably greatly impact the interests of real estate developers.
So from the time the public housing project was launched, these people have been behind the scenes, and even instigated demonstrations in the name of environmental protection.
Under the influence of many factors, the public housing scheme naturally went bankrupt.
The credibility of Dong Sheng and the Hong Kong government also plummeted, and they were no longer trusted by the people, which also laid the foundation for the subsequent chaos in Hong Kong.
At this time, when he heard that Dong Sheng still wanted to focus on real estate as his first battle, Xiao Qian couldn't help it. After analyzing the situation he had seen, all the big guys in the room looked serious.
They are all elites who have fought hard in this world. Needless to say, these people have great vision and insight.
The only difference is that they did not travel through time and do not know what happened later. Coupled with the influence of environment and knowledge, their cognition is not so complete.
Now Xiao Qian hit the nail on the head and pointed directly to the essence, making them realize the seriousness immediately.
"To be honest, I am not very optimistic about you, Mr. Dong. After all, you are also a capitalist. I am afraid it will be difficult for you to truly stick to your position and truly seek the welfare of Xiangjiang."
Since he had already spoken, Xiao Qian had no worries and used words to stimulate Dong Sheng first.
As expected, Dong Sheng couldn't bear it and his face turned red.
"What are you talking about? I have been tested and trusted."
Xiao Qian looked directly at him.
"The country trusts you, and whether you can do a good job are two different concepts. For example, if the public housing project you plan to build will be disrupted by the real estate developers, will you dare to do it?"
This is Xiao Qian's soul torture.
The public housing project will eventually fail. Although some people are involved in the storm, the Hong Kong government's inability to strike hard is naturally the problem.
Dong Sheng is a capitalist just like those real estate developers. In addition, Xiangjiang is too small, so there must be a tangled relationship between them.
Under such circumstances, he naturally had no other option but to cry out in vain.
Sure enough, Xiao Qian's questioning made him quiet down, and his expression was particularly painful.
"Those people are the cornerstone of Xiangjiang's economy. If they are touched, Xiangjiang's economy will inevitably collapse."
See, this is because the butts are different and the problems are viewed differently.
"You are not mentally prepared to become a qualified official of the People's Republic of China!"
