"Jianhui, you can't serve as this assistant. Even if it's just a part-time job, it will be very detrimental to your future development."
Chen Zhiyong did not expect that MacLehose would actually use this trick. He did not know whether to be happy or worried about his disciple and future son-in-law Li Jianhui.
He believed that this was definitely not MacLehose's impromptu idea, nor was it the intention of MacLehose alone.
As an assistant to the Governor who was less than 18 years old, MacLehose simply did not dare to do this without the consent of the British government. After all, the public opinion was too great.
This shows from the side that Li Jianhui's company in England is more terrifying than he imagined. It has attracted the attention of the British executives and even wants to win over Li Jianhui regardless of the cost.
Whether it is the development of Tseung Kwan O or the improvement of Tiu Keng Ling, it is all just to increase Li Jianhui's favor with them.
Li Jianhui said solemnly: "This assistant is definitely unacceptable, but I am very interested in MacLehose's development in Tseung Kwan O.
If the government can build an undersea tunnel from the eastern part of Hong Kong Island to Cha Kwo Ling, Tseung Kwan O will be completely revitalized.
One polytechnic is not enough. If the government can establish a few more universities in Tseung Kwan O or even Tiu Keng Ling, then our Tiu Keng Ling will be completely improved."
Chen Zhiyong was not only not relieved when he heard this, but he said angrily: "Who do you think you are? Are you responsible for those things? I hope you will be a businessman and not get involved in politics. I don't want one day to come.
I’ll collect the body for you.”
Chen Zhiyong, who came from the war years, had heard too many incidents of families being destroyed due to political struggles, and deep down in his heart he was not at ease about that country.
Assassination is not a patent. Once Li Jianhui is really regarded as a threat, it is not impossible to use a black gun.
For these abandoned people, nothing is as noble as their own lives and interests. From the moment they settled in Tiu Keng Ling, their belief was to live well so that future generations can have a stable life.
s home.
For this reason, they entered 14k and entered Xingyi'an in order to allow their families to live a better life. As for other things, they didn't care at all.
As long as Li Jianhui's interests are not threatened, Chen Zhiyong is also willing to support Li Jianhui to help Tiu Keng Ling and Tseung Kwan O.
But now it is obvious that MacLehose set a trap for Li Jianhui. If Li Jianhui entered MacLehose's trap for these reasons, it would be tantamount to a wolf entering a tiger's mouth.
He has no pursuits in his life, and he doesn't want his descendants to become figures admired by thousands of people, let alone heroes.
For Li Jianhui, he hopes to become a hero, so that his family can feel at ease.
"Master, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. MacLehose thought he could defeat my army in this way. I can only say that he thought too much.
I would refuse the position of special assistant on the grounds of my young age, but I would suggest taking the offer in Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng and conducting a series of reports on the situation in Tiu Keng Leng through Jiashi.
In addition, you contact some people in Tseung Kwan O to promote the development of Tseung Kwan O. Jiashi will cooperate and build momentum for them, and it is up to MacLehose to take care of it.
If MacLehose does not fulfill what he said today, as long as you give me two years, I will have enough funds to improve Tiu Keng Leng, and it will be useless even if MacLehose wants to throw dirty water on me."
When Li Jianhui developed Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Ling, he did not consider MacLehose's help. He planned to make drastic changes to Tiu Keng Ling after the London Gold project was completed.
Even acquiring Heung Kong Electric, China Gas, Kowloon Bus, and establishing his own university are already in his plans.
It's just what MacLehose said today that Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng can enter into rapid development in advance, and he doesn't need to find various connections at that time. After all, the establishment of a university requires government approval.
He also hopes to take advantage of this opportunity. The villagers of Diaojingling have lived too hard for more than 20 years. Many of them should be national heroes, but because of some problems, they are not only unable to enjoy the treatment and admiration they deserve.
Instead, he was burdened with a lifetime of infamy.
In this bustling metropolis, they live a closed and isolated life, and the modern conveniences have not been brought to the villagers of Tiu Keng Ling.
Li Jianhui, who came from time-travel, was fused with the memories of his predecessor. Affected by this, he is an extremely contradictory person. He has passion and selfishness in his heart.
As a young man at the bottom of his previous life, he worked for many years just to have an apartment in the city, a car, and a virtuous wife.
Therefore, everything he cares about is money, and he has no great ideals at all.
The predecessor was just a sixteen-year-old boy who wanted to make a lot of money because of family reasons.
But the young man still has an ideal in his heart, that is, he hopes that one day he can improve the environment of the village and let the villagers of Tiu Keng Ling live the same life as the citizens in the urban area.
He even fantasizes about one day clearing the name of his father and the people of Diaojingling, letting everyone know that at the critical moment, these people are worthy of this nation and they are also heroes.
If it weren't for the influence of Li Jianhui's memory from his previous life, I'm afraid MacLehose would really be able to play Li Jianhui.
After all, as someone who has lived a good life in Hong Kong since childhood, it is too far away to talk about some things. The news they watch is basically Oriental Daily, Sing Pao, Industrial and Commercial Daily, etc.
The news in these newspapers is biased towards the right and discredits the left. In the minds of most people in Hong Kong, their current impression of the country is definitely not good.
The current Li Jianhui, if he had not been clear about future development, stood in his current position, and from a business perspective, he would definitely accept the position offered by MacLehose.
After all, it is difficult for Li Jianhui to make profits in the current rather closed market. As for when the market will be opened, no one knows yet.
On the contrary, the current main markets for Hong Kong's business community are Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, the United States, Western Europe, and the British Commonwealth.
It's a pity that MacLehose met a person who came from time-to-time and knew the future direction very well, so his plans to win over were destined to fail.
That very night, Li Jianhui personally visited Jiashi's live broadcast room and responded to MacLehose's remarks in the afternoon.
“After hearing Mr. MacLehose’s words today, as someone who grew up in Tiu Keng Leng, I am very grateful.
I believe that with the support of the government and the Jockey Club, Tiu Keng Leng will have an increasingly bright future.
As for Mr. MacLehose's mention of inviting me to serve as a special assistant, I had never heard of it before, and I have not yet received a formal notification.
I am currently under eighteen, and my experience in all aspects is very immature. I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take on such a big responsibility.
In order not to affect the influence of Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Leng, I also hope that Mr. MacLehose can carefully consider and invite experienced seniors to take up this position.
…”
Li Jianhui later stated that he would increase investment in Tseung Kwan O and even Tiu Keng Leng to make his own contribution to Hong Kong's economy.
