Chapter 148 (1/2)
After assigning the task of Tianshui Weijian University, baozixuan called two roommates far away in the United States. They were asked to come to Xiangjiang and told them about building a university. The two men heard that such a big project was waiting for them. They said that they would pass immediately after new year's day.
On the last day of 1978, Bao Zixuan came to the governor's house. Not only will he come this time, but many well-known figures in Xiangjiang will come and get together and have a chat. And will organize a charity auction party to let these rich people donate some money. At the same time, the governor also wants to get in touch with these Xiangjiang elites.
The dinner party began at 7 p.m. and baozixuan came to the governor's house at 6:45. This was the first time he came here in his life. He always felt uncomfortable. He couldn't tell what was going on.
The government house of Hong Kong was later changed into a concierge building after the reunification. Located between upper Albert Road and lower Albert Road in the middle of central, it is the official residence of the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the most important official reception place for the government. The main building was built in 1851 and officially completed in 1855. The government house of Hong Kong has a garden of 24000 square meters. The main building covers an area of more than 7000 square meters. It faces south and looks up to Taiping mountain. To the north is the former Central Government Office (now the Legal Center).
The architectural design of the Hong Kong Governor's office combines the essence of eastern and Western cultures. The building has both the elegant style of neoclassical architecture and the style of Tropical Architecture. Sir Baoning, the fourth governor of Hong Kong, became the first master in 1855. Since then, 25 of the successive governors have lived here. Many Hong Kong governors have decorated and modified the building according to their personal style and needs. During the RB occupation, they have made large-scale reconstruction, including the addition of the central tower.
In 1995, the government house of Hong Kong was listed as a statutory Monument and protected by the Antiquities and monuments Ordinance.
After giving the invitation to the security guard for authentication, baozixuan came to the hall on the first floor. At this time, he saw many people gathered in twos and threes to chat. He didn't know anyone, so he had to eat alone in the corner.
From the chat situation, it can be said that there is a clear sense of awe. Chinese businessmen and British businessmen hardly communicate together. Fok Ying Tung has been suppressed by the Hong Kong government many times. In order not to affect others, he is independent.
In fact, the Hong Kong government does not want to invite him, but after all, Mr FOK has too much influence. He must be invited every time, which is also a very contradictory thing.
Seeing a young man eating in the corner, Huo Yingdong walked over with curiosity. Baozixuan was also a little hungry, so he didn't have scruples like others.
Huo Yingdong looked at Bao Zixuan and said, ”young man, why don't you go and communicate with everyone. Instead, they eat here. ”
Looking at this familiar face, baozixuan didn't remember who it was. After all, Xiangjiang tycoons are relatively young in this era. Moreover, the media has not been developed in future generations, and the photos are very vague.
Bao Zixuan: ”Hello! Old man, I didn't have dinner when I first came here. And this is my first time to attend this kind of dinner. I basically don't know anyone and have nothing to communicate. ”
Huo Yingdong didn't expect that the young man didn't know himself. It seems that his fame is not as big as expected!
Huo Yingdong: ”you young man have some appetite for me. What do you do?”
Bao Zixuan: ”I'm a factory owner. What do you do, sir?”
Huo Yingdong: ”what I do is more miscellaneous. What I make money is what I do.”
The two began to chat without a word. Huo Yingdong had strong control over the political ecology. Bao Zixuan had unique views on world events and scientific and technological development. They were still very happy and congenial. It didn't end until the two appeared.
The three ship kings of Xiangjiang get together again and will certainly talk about some shipping problems. After learning from Dong Haoyun that Bao Zixuan would also come to the governor's house, Bao Yugang began to pay attention.
Bao Yugang was also shocked to see where baozixuan and Huo Yingdong talked happily. Huo Yingdong's fame, strength, especially patriotism, have nothing to say. But this is the governor's house. Few people talk to him so warmly. After all, the environment here is not very suitable.
Dong Haoyun and Huo Yingdong have been friends for many years. After seeing the two, they came in their direction.
After seeing Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun coming, baozixuan put down the food in his hand and said, ”Hello, old Dong and Bao Sheng!”
