Chapter 436 (1/2)

Huo Yingdong's idea Zheng Yutong is certainly not clear, but even if it is clear, it is not very optimistic. After all, my daughter is very sad because of this. It hurts to look at it. His daughter is not too afraid to marry, and it is impossible to wrong herself too much for a man.

Dong Haoyun may see some of Huo Yingdong's meaning and said with a smile, ”what Huo Sheng said is still very reasonable. Among these rich families, I also like your family best.”

Zheng Yutong: ”you two don't look like matchmakers. Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I also felt that baozixuan was a good young man before, but you saw what happened last time. Who knows what he has done abroad in recent years! ”

Shark Dan Tong has just finished. Huo Yingdong wants to defend baozixuan. Governor McLehose has come to the hall with his wife. Seeing that the protagonist has arrived, we are not sure what to say.

Today's McLehose can be said to be very well dressed and put on the clothes worn by the queen of England when she decorated him. Moreover, several medals are hung on the chest to let people see their past achievements. His wife also appeared in full dress, complemented by the long skirts of medieval aristocratic women.

He was very happy to see many tycoons in Xiangjiang come to the scene. The only drawback is the absence of baozixuan, which is a pity!

McLehose stood on the stage and said, ”respected ladies and gentlemen. Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you for coming to the governor's house to celebrate Christmas day. This may be my last Christmas with you as governor. ”

”My term of office will end next year, when I will leave Xiangjiang. There may be new jobs to meet new challenges. However, during my 10 years as governor, I have regarded Xiangjiang as my second hometown. ”

”The people here are very hardworking and have a strong business atmosphere. I can't imagine what I can achieve in the future, but my heart is to hope that Xiangjiang will become better. ”

”In the past 10 years, I would like to thank everyone for my support and love. Being the governor who has served the longest time so far is inseparable from your strong support. Thank you again.”

After bowing to the audience, the people below also remembered the warm applause, which was the recognition of Mai Lihao.

Mai Lihao witnessed the economic take-off of Xiangjiang, and the strong economic growth during his tenure was unprecedented since the opening of the port. With his assistance, Xiangjiang has gradually transformed from being dominated by light industry to focusing on electronic industry, finance and commerce, and has become one of the ”four little dragons in Asia”, laying an important cornerstone for the prosperity and stability of Xiangjiang and becoming an international financial center in Asia in the future. In addition, the ”positive non interventionism” put forward by the financial secretary, sir Xia Dingji, during MacLehose's term of office has also become the financial management philosophy of the Hong Kong government and MacLehose's policy objective.

However, there are also criticisms from the outside world that MacLehose has always failed to completely solve the core problems such as insufficient housing, insufficient university degrees, uneven quality of education, inequality between the rich and the poor and traffic congestion. Many public opinion also believe that he has failed to quickly respond to the successive social movements during his term of office; As for the handling of illegal immigrants from mainland China and Vietnamese refugees coming to Hong Kong, it has also aroused a lot of controversy.

During his tenure of more than 10 years, he successively established the Independent Commission against corruption, launched the ”home ownership” plan to help poor families solve the housing problem, and the nine-year free education plan to popularize primary and secondary education, which is still very useful for the economic development and construction of Xiangjiang. It can be said that this is Xiangjiang's promising governor, at least much better than other governors.

After speaking, Mai Lihao began to communicate with the following people. This time, his main goal is the Chinese business community. After all, none of the British businessmen wanted Xiangjiang to return.

In fact, MacLehose was invited to visit mainland China in 1979 and became the first Hong Kong Governor to visit China in an official manner after the war. During his visit to China, he met with the high-level officials in Kyoto. During the meeting, he learned that the high-level officials in Kyoto were determined to recover Xiangjiang on or before 1997. As a result, this meeting opened the prelude to the subsequent negotiations on the future of Xiangjiang. After returning to Xiangjiang, Mai Lihao was worried about causing panic and did not mention that Huaxia insisted on taking back Xiangjiang's remarks.

Now we can only hope that Xiangjiang businessmen can resist the Chinese side. After all, Britain's intervention is an act of war. China will never fear the threat from the British. If so, what position will it have in the international community in the future.

Recently, Mai Lihao has taken good care of Xiangjiang Chinese businessmen who have handled immigration, but these people are still a minority after all. The main influence is very limited, and they are not top business tycoons.
