Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong.

When Shi Zhijian arrived at the VIP room of the racecourse, he saw the future Hong Kong Governor Mak Lihao, surrounded by seven or eight ghosts, holding binoculars and watching the ongoing horse race through the window.

Several horses galloped across the track, and the horse fans around the venue were screaming.

"Mr. Shi, this way please!" The manager of the racecourse respectfully invited Shi Zhijian into the room.

Just at the end of the horse race, Mai Lihao waved his fists excitedly.

The old ghosts who surrounded him also congratulated: "Sir, you are so lucky!"

"Yes, this is called having fun with the people!"

It seems that Mai Lihao also made a bet just now and won money.

Who is Shi Zhijian? Just looking at the horse farm manager's eyes, he can tell that there is something tricky in it. It's too late for the "true sons of life" like Mai Lihao to flatter them, and how dare he let the old man lose money here.

"Dear Shi, you're here!" Mai Lihao was in a happy mood, looking back to see Shi Zhijian said.

The other ghost elders also saw Shi Zhijian come in, and they all smiled and nodded slightly towards Shi Zhijian.

As the old ghost group in charge of the United Kingdom, they have always looked down on the local Chinese, and they have done their utmost to despise the Chinese, believing that the Chinese are not qualified to be equal to them and belong to the third-class citizens of Hong Kong.

But when these ghost elders saw Shi Zhijian, they didn't dare to show any contempt at all, instead they seemed very enthusiastic.

"Lord Jazz is very elegant, come here to watch the horse racing!" Shi Zhijian stepped forward and said, "Looks like I guessed wrong, I thought you really had something important to discuss with me."

Mai Lihao laughed and took the initiative to reach out and wrap Shi Zhijian's shoulders. This move shocked the gang of ghosts around!

Mai Lihao, however, ignored the shocked expressions of those people, and still shrugged shoulders with Shi Zhijian: "I know you are very busy, but I really have important things to look for you here, not just inviting you to come to the horse race! This way, Let's go over there and talk!"

After Mai Lihao finished speaking, he turned around and said to the stunned ghost elders: "My dear Shi and I are going to the restaurant to talk about some things, everyone please do it yourself!" After speaking, he took Shi Zhijian and walked towards the nearby restaurant.

Those old ghosts behind you look at me, I look at you, and then swallow their saliva with envy.

At this moment, they only have one thought, and that is to have a good relationship with Shi Zhijian no matter what! That's right, even if you can't be friends, don't be enemies!

...

There are many fine dining restaurants in the racecourse.

A big man like Mai Lihao can of course enjoy super treatment.

To be precise, this is a western music restaurant. The whole decoration is like an opera house, which is noble and elegant.

When Shi Zhijian accompanied Mai Lihao to the restaurant, he found that Mai Lihao's wife, Mrs. Cather, was drinking coffee with three other ghosts.

Seeing Shi Zhijian come in, Mrs. Cather took the initiative to stand up and greet Shi Zhijian.

The three ghosts on the opposite side didn't know why. They looked at Shi Zhijian and saw that they were Chinese, and they were even more surprised. Who was the holy man who could make the future Hong Kong Governor's wife greet her so warmly?

For a time, he was full of curiosity about Shi Zhijian.

The dining table selected by Mai Lihao is just at the floor-to-ceiling window, through which he can overlook the racetrack below and the bustling city in the distance.

The waiter brought the menu over, and Mai Lihao ordered two cups of coffee at random. Then the restaurant manager who got the news hurried over and went out to serve Mai Lihao and Shi Zhijian in person.

"Did you see that, dear Shi, these are all your credits!" Mai Lihao looked at the restaurant manager who bowed down and said to Shi Zhijian with a smile: "If it weren't for your help, I might just be the same Mai I used to be. Sir Lihao, you will never be treated like this by them! Even——”

McLean paused, "In order to show that they are in the right line, they will be more rude and ignoring me!"

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Lord Sir, maybe you think too much."

Mai Lihao shook his head: "The sophistication of people is common in the East and the West. When you are down, people can't wait to throw stones at you! When you're prosperous, they can't wait to run over to flatter you!"

Shi Zhijian stopped talking and took a sip of coffee.

Mai Lihao looked at Shi Zhijian and suddenly said, "So, I want to thank you!"

Shi Zhijian looked up at Mai Lihao: "I have received your thanks, thank you!"

"No! There are others!" After Mak Lihao finished speaking, he pointed out the floor-to-ceiling windows: "Do you know who owns the construction site next to the racecourse? They are all British-owned companies! I think you, dear Shi, know this better than me!"

Shi Zhijian looked at the place that Mai Lihao pointed to, the construction of the construction site was in full swing, and the sound of machines on the construction site could be heard even from a distance.

"Hong Kong Taikoo, Jardine, Hutchison and Wheelock are known as the four major foreign firms in Hong Kong. These four foreign firms control 78% of the prime locations in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories!" Looking over at Shi Zhijian with a burning gaze, "Now, dear Shi, if you speak up, I can promise you and help your Shinhwa Group become the fifth largest foreign firm in Hong Kong!"

Shi Zhijian was slightly startled: "Sorry, did I hear it wrong? Our myth seems to be a Chinese-owned enterprise."

Mai Lihao smiled, reached out and took a bag of sugar, tore it open, and poured it into the coffee cup: "Although the coffee is delicious, it needs to be added with leftover ingredients! If a company wants to grow, it must find a trick!"

Shi Zhijian didn't speak, but looked at Mai Lihao.

Mai Lihao finished stirring the coffee, then put the spoon on the plate, looked up at Shi Zhijian and said, "If you want, I can arrange for you to join the British! And arrange for you to join the Berke family that has lasted for hundreds of years. !"

Shi Zhijian was stunned, but he did not expect Mai Lihao to make such a startling suggestion.

You must know that it is not too difficult for Hong Kong people to become British citizens in this era, but it is difficult to obtain the recognition of the other party after entering!

Even if you are a Chinese with yellow skin and dark eyes, even if you become a British citizen, you will still be discriminated against and looked down upon when you meet a real British old man!

But the suggestion put forward by Mai Lihao is different. Although their Berke family is not extremely prominent in the British Empire, they are also authentic British aristocrats!

If Mai Lihao goes through the needle and leads Shi Zhijian into the Burke family tree, then Shi Zhijian can officially become a "British nobleman!"

With the aura of the British aristocracy, Shi Zhijian will be able to do business in Hong Kong in the future, and he can even compete with the four major foreign firms! As Mai Lihao said, under the support of Mai Lihao, it became the "fifth largest foreign company"!

Shi Zhijian took a deep breath, this temptation was too great for anyone.

Looking at Shi Zhijian's expression, Mai Lihao took a sip of his coffee and said, "You help me, I'll help you! I, Mai Lihao, are a very grateful person. God told us that the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs. I've always kept one thing in mind!" After speaking, he pointed to the outside of the window and said, "As long as you nod your head now, dear Shi, then I can promise you all the remaining prime areas outside the racecourse! Your mythology can be developed wherever you want. Where is the development! I have nothing to say!"

Don't talk about Shi Zhijian, even the ghost old waiter who was serving them by his side was excited when he heard this!

"God, what kind of fate is this, to be able to encounter such a good thing? With the support of the future Hong Kong Governor, then it won't be a success?"

In Mai Lihao's view, the promise he made this time was already heavy enough that Shi Zhijian could never refuse!

But-----

"Sorry, my dear Sir, I refuse your proposal!"

"Uh, what?" Mai Lihao was startled and almost spilled the coffee he was holding. He looked at Shi Zhijian in surprise, wondering if he heard it wrong.

The waiter was also shocked, unable to believe that Shi Zhijian refused such a good thing.

"Cough, I want to know the reason." Mai Lihao tried to sort out his emotions and asked.

"The reason is very simple. I am Chinese, and it is impossible for me to be British! It's not that I dislike naturalization in England, it's just a personal choice, please forgive me!"

"Finally----" Shi Zhijian pointed to the prime locations outside, "You are right, most of the prime locations in Hong Kong are occupied by the four major foreign firms, but isn't that the past? I believe you are an excellent ruler, When the time comes, becoming the Governor of Hong Kong will definitely change the dominance of the British-owned one! It is spring when a hundred flowers bloom, and the future of Hong Kong needs more competition between British and Chinese capital to take shape! The Hong Kong in your mind and the one in mine Hong Kong is the same, that is, people live and work in peace and contentment, financial real estate is booming, whether it is British or Chinese who walk on the land of Hong Kong will be proud of their identity, because we have created a new era with our own efforts and hard work. !"

"Fairness, justice and justice will become the core values ​​of Hong Kong! Even more Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong will become the mainstay of Hong Kong's economy in the future! More Chinese will become the firm cornerstone of Hong Kong!" Suddenly, he turned around and said, "To put it boldly, Hong Kong is still the land of the Chinese after all. You are just colonists who have come from afar. Maybe one day you will have to leave here. How long can the so-called four major foreign firms last? In the long run, Hong Kong will be more descended from the dragon!"

After hearing what Shi Zhijian said, the waiter next to him started to tremble with fright, and almost slipped the tray in his hand!

Shi Zhijian's words can be said to be bold, and other people will definitely be furious, thinking that Shi Zhijian is rebellious, but Mai Lihao did not.

The longer he and Shi Zhijian knew each other, the more clearly he knew how mysterious and wise the young man in front of him was. He never did useless work and never said nonsense.

"Dear Shi, tell me the truth, I don't understand you now! But I think everything you said is right! It's weird, isn't it?" Mai Lihao shrugged, "Since you already have If you decide, I won't force you anymore! Then I have another very important matter to discuss with you..."

After Mai Lihao finished speaking, he pointed to the coffee and said to the waiter, "This coffee is a little cold, please change it first!"

The waiter was also a good person. Knowing that the other party was going to talk to Shi Zhijian alone, he hurriedly took the coffee cup, exchanged two cups of hot coffee, and then bowed and left.

...

After the waiter left, Mai Lihao folded his hands into a tower shape, put his hands on the table and stared at Shi Zhijian and said, "What do you think about my invitation to join our Berke family just now?"

Shi Zhijian leaned on the chair behind him to make himself more comfortable, without having to straighten his back all the time.

"Being able to get such love from Sir Jazz, there must be something going on in the UK..."

Mai Lihao was surprised and blinked: "Do you know something?"

"How could that be? I'm just talking casually." Shi Zhijian shrugged.

Mai Lihao stared at Shi Zhijian like a ghost, looking like I didn't believe it.

Shi Zhijian was embarrassed by him, "Why are you staring at me like this?"

"Dear Shi, do you know that I often wonder if you are a wizard!"

"Thank you for the compliment, and occasionally I play tarot cards!"

Mai Lihao rolled his eyes, thinking that Shi Zhijian's joke was not funny at all.

"Okay, let me tell you!" Mai Lihao didn't intend to hide any more, "I got news from the UK that Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister are very satisfied with your achievements since you became a member of the Legislative Council~www .wuxiamtl.com~ Especially promoting women's reform and abolishing the polygamy system here, it is very popular among the upper echelons of the UK!"

Shi Zhijian picked up the silver coffee cup and listened quietly.

In fact, even if Mai Lihao didn't say Shi Zhijian, he knew how great his behavior was!

You must know that it is just the early 1970s, the most vigorous period of the feminist movement in the world, especially in Europe and the United States, which likes to flaunt women's democracy and freedom, and spare no effort to promote the feminist liberation of the feminist movement!

As a once-powerful empire where the sun never sets, how can Britain be absent from this vigorous movement? Instead, have a place! In order to advertise themselves as the head of civilization!

Shi Zhijian just got stuck at this point, and followed the historical development trend and did a very normal thing!

But just such a thing has made the European and American world a riot, thinking that the Asian women's movement and women's liberation have been promoted to a new stage! The sparks they've sown all over the world have already begun to ignite a prairie fire! Shi Zhijian is the representative figure of this aspect in Asia! Great work!

The British are the most faceless and the most shameless race in the world! It is evident that aggression and colonization can be described as the transmission of democracy and freedom!

What Shi Zhijian did just happened to be very "appetite" to them. The most important thing is that many women's rights fighters in the UK have followed Shi Zhijian. Hong Kong women's liberation, they feel they have a share of the credit!

So if you want to take this credit, you must first hold up Shi Zhijian, the Hong Kong fighter.

So, there is movement in the UK.

"Dear Shi!" Mai Lihao put his hands together and looked at Shi Zhijian with certainty. "In view of your achievements in the Legislative Council, Her Majesty the Queen specially invites you to rush to England and bestow you a knighthood in person!"
