Chapter 1074 Hello, 1982!

January 1, 1982.

While standing on the lawn of the Governor's Mansion, looking at the various fireworks being set off in the distance, Yin Jun also had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It has been almost 4 years since it was 42 years ago.

Sometimes when dreaming back at midnight, Yin Jun would still think of some people and things from the past.

But more time, his mentality and mood have completely integrated into this era.

Seeing the Kirin Group growing stronger and more successful, Yin Jun would occasionally feel a little panicked, fearing that when he woke up, he would find that he would return to the apartment in his previous life, still the same as before.

Compared to his career, what Yin Jun was more reluctant to part with was the group of beauties around him.

Whether it was the few good wives he got or the group of little girls he cultivated like sisters, Yin Jun couldn't bear to part with them.

They have become a part of the boy's life. They have nothing to do with them in the previous life. They are a completely new version of them, and they are also people that Yin Jun cherishes extremely.

"It's almost the New Year again!" Standing next to Yin Jun was a thin middle-aged man with glasses. He sighed: "I really don't know how many of us will be able to stand at this time next year. How many people here can continue to be prosperous? I don’t know if Hong Kong will be as blooming as last year this year?”

"Don't pretend to be nostalgic here!" A fat middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Who doesn't know that you, Li Chaoren, were very steady last year and concentrated on digesting Hutchison Whampoa? Not much affected? It’s just those of us who have no money and want to develop who are suffering!”

Li Chaoren paused and wanted to say something, but he was never a person who relied on his words to win. He could only shake his head in frustration and refused to argue with this old friend.

Yin Jun was the same, he could only pretend not to hear.

Because Zheng Yutong, who was speaking, was his elder and had taken good care of him before the boy was developed. This concept of respect and inferiority still needs to be maintained.

However, if we say that the person who suffered the most last year was not Zheng Yutong, right?

The big news about forcing people to buy shops is still being criticized!

Zheng Yutong's New World Development Company relied on this trick to withdraw a huge amount of nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, which is already enough for them to calmly plan for the future!

The young man looked at the Chen family and his son who were discussing something with a group of people in the distance, and a smile appeared on his lips.

A few months ago, how impressive was the Hang Lung Group that took photos of 9 subway properties on the Hong Kong Island Line?

It is simply known as the largest Chinese-funded consortium, and its limelight has completely overtaken Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, and Guo Desheng.

But in less than a year, they are now on the verge of tears.

By December, the real estate market in Xiangjiang was already sluggish. Although prices did not drop much, the transaction volume was pitifully small.

Along with Amoy Gardens in Ngau Tau Kok, which the Chen family relies on most, it is very difficult to sell the house now.

Without such a source of continuous large cash flow, Hang Lung Group is having a hard time these days.

It’s not just them, many real estate businessmen are having a hard time.

They invested too much money into the land market in the second half of last year and the first half of this year. Now they can't get it out at all. They dare not sell it at a lower price because it will trigger an avalanche. Not only will the land market suffer, but it will also be even more terrible. If the real estate market collapses because of this, it will definitely not work.

"Haha, not everyone has a hard time." Li Chaoren changed the subject at this time and looked to the other side, "Well, isn't this person's life getting better and better?"

Following his eyes, there was also a group of people surrounding a tall middle-aged man.

Although this middle-aged man is not young at all, because he is of mixed race, he is so handsome that he is not inferior to those big stars in their thirties, and he also has a charm that has accumulated over time.

He is the gambling king of Austria, Stanley Ho.

In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the global economy, especially the development of the Asian economy, Omen, as the only most guaranteed five-star casino here, has naturally welcomed countless rich and wealthy people. Then they walked away in style in Omen, leaving behind a large sum of money.

As the only gambling license holder in Macao, Stanley Ho's Macao Entertainment Group has naturally made a lot of money, and his net worth has exceeded 4 billion Hong Kong dollars in one breath.

Of course, the Macau Entertainment Group itself has not reached this level yet. Its market value is only about HK$3 billion. However, Stanley Ho relies on the Macau Entertainment Group to do business in Austria, so there is no way he will not make money.

Stanley Ho also does real estate in Austria, but he knows how to measure things and will not exaggerate like Xiangjiang. Therefore, the huge risks facing Xiangjiang real estate this time have nothing to do with him.

Yin Jun also knew that Stanley Ho's current success was not only because of his skyrocketing net worth, but also because he had cornered his mortal enemy, Ye Han.

Ye Han's Omen Racing Jockey Club was ten times more successful than in his previous life. Relying on the surrounding hotels and entertainment facilities, as well as various games and gambling games, it was really innovative.

Therefore, this horse racing club has now become another very promising business in Austria. Even the Governor of Austria paid a lot of attention to it and even went there twice in person in the second half of last year.

Now Stanley Ho is done with it.

Seeing that he had driven Ye Han into a corner, he didn't expect that without paying attention, he could turn around like this and become popular again, earning so much money and popularity.

no!

We can't let him develop like this anymore!

So Stanley Ho immediately showed his cards to the Austrian government.

The Horse Racing Club is certainly good, but it greatly divides the flow of people who come to Macao to play gambling games, so the Macao Entertainment Group’s income will be reduced. If this continues, Macao’s casino city will not live up to its name!

In order to ensure the long-term stability of Macau’s casinos, does your Macau government want our casinos? Or do you want him to attend Ye Han's horse racing meeting?

The Austrian government suddenly had a headache.

In their minds, it is of course best for both to develop and grow at the same time.

But what Stanley Ho said makes sense. The casino is the foundation of Macau. No matter how good this horse racing event is, it cannot compare with the benefits that the casino brings to Macau.

If it really continues like this, and everyone doesn't gamble and just goes to horse racing meetings, how much money can the Austrian government draw from just relying on these bets and consumption?

They also know the conflict between Stanley Ho and Ye Han.

With only one choice between the two, the Austrian government could only reluctantly side with Stanley Ho and began to put constant pressure on Ye Han, trying to get him to give up the business of the Austrian Horse Racing Club. .

How could Ye Han agree?

However, he was facing the powerful people in Omen and the huge power of the casino. The huge pressure had forced him to breathe. Accidents at horse racing meetings also kept happening, making him anxious. I feel like I can't hold on any longer.

Business is going smoothly, and his old rival has been pushed into a corner again. How could Stanley Ho not be so proud?

There were many guests coming to the Governor's Palace today, both Chinese and British, but basically they were all very different from each other. Only Stanley Ho, a mixed-race man from Austria, could have both sides and become the center of attention.

Yin Jun didn't like being in the limelight, so he stayed in the corner chatting with a few acquaintances.

But after chatting for a while, a housekeeper came over and said that MacLehose wanted to see Yin Jun.

The young man didn't know what was going on, so he followed him to MacLehose's study and found that the number one person in Hong Kong was standing at the window, looking at the fireworks outside.

"Mr. Governor." Yin Jun greeted him politely, "Happy New Year!"

Just before the banquet started, MacLehose had already wished everyone a Happy New Year, but now that this was a private occasion, it was always better to be polite.

MacLehose turned around, smiled, sat back on his chair, and motioned for Yin Jun to sit down: "Mr. Yin, how many years have you been in Xiangjiang?"

"Almost 4 years." The boy replied.

"The days I spent in Xiangjiang were more than twice as long as yours." MacLehose nodded and sighed, "It's a pity. There is no such thing as a banquet in the world. No matter how long you stay in one place, you still have something to say. Goodbye time!"

Yin Jun nodded slightly.

MacLehose will leave office and return to the UK in March this year. Everyone knows this.

Originally, the people of Hong Kong, and even the British in Hong Kong, strongly requested that MacLehose be allowed to serve as governor for another term.

But he has been re-elected for two terms. If he is re-elected, it will not be in line with the rules of the British government. Moreover, now we have entered a more critical period. Such a moderate governor is not likely to be in line with the British interests in the future. demands and policies, so the British side has not changed its mind, so he must leave in March.

Although Yin Jun didn't have much contact with MacLehose, he also knew how much he had contributed to Hong Kong.

It is definitely an exaggeration to say that MacLehose led Xiangjiang from ignorance to civilization, but if MacLehose led Xiangjiang from backwardness to civilization and turned Xiangjiang into an orderly and dynamic metropolis, this is not true at all. One can deny it.

Therefore, even 40 years later, when the people of Xiangjiang selected successive governors, MacLehose still ranked first with an overwhelming advantage. This shows how grateful the people of Xiangjiang are to him.

MacLehose was sincerely doing good for Xiangjiang, so after seeing how much Yin Jun had done, he took the initiative to offer help to Yin Jun. It was he who withstood the pressure and awarded the Kirin Industrial Park to Yin Jun.

At first, I don’t know how many people were saying that Yin Jun must be trying to sell his property like sheep. Not long after he got the land, he had to apply for conversion to commercial real estate development.

But MacLehose believed that Yin Jun was serious about doing things, so Qilin Industrial Park was established.

And Yin Jun did not disappoint MacLehose. Now Qilin Industrial Park has become one of the largest industrial zones in Xiangjiang. It has also become the pride of Xiangjiang's small industries, giving MacLehose a lot of face.

Even Yin Jun knew that MacLehose must have guessed that the sudden appearance of so many mainlanders swimming over was probably related to Yin Jun, but he did not care about it, but actively settled these new immigrants in the New Territories. People, created various job positions and conditions for them, did not discriminate against them at all, and did not cause trouble for Yin Jun.

Yin Jun has kept these kindnesses in mind and is using his best results to repay the number one person in Xiangjiang.

"After you, I'm afraid there will never be another governor who can be so recognized by all of us." Yin Jun muttered: "I personally think that everything you have done for Xiangjiang will still be used for Xiangjiang a hundred years later." The people of this land praise it.”

"Haha, don't flatter me. I know that there are actually many things that can be done, but...hey!" Maybe he was about to leave, so MacLehose didn't speak so seriously, "Okay, let's not talk about that. Yes. I called you here today because I want to ask you if there is anything else I can do for you in these two months. Please tell me quickly and I will help you if you can!"

"ah!?"

Yin Jun was stunned.

He never expected that MacLehose would take such good care of him!

"We have not been together for a long time, but I have observed you for a long time, and I roughly know what kind of person you are." MacLehose said calmly: "Although you also have a lot of selfishness, and you also have some secrets of your own. , but in terms of doing business and being a person, I believe you are one of the best I have ever seen.

People who interact with you praise you for being a gentleman, respecting others, and never treating others with malice. And in terms of business, you obviously had so many opportunities to make a fortune from real estate, but you didn't do it. Instead, you relied on your own efforts and worked harder to go into the industry and entertainment industry, and made great achievements. There are so many achievements that others cannot accomplish.

I am very gratified to see a person like you with vision and foresight for the future come out of Xiangjiang during my term of office. Maybe Hong Kong in the future will rely on young people like you to develop better! Just by relying on those real estate developers, we should be thankful that they didn’t make Xiangjiang a mess. "

Although I am not from Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang is already my second hometown. I certainly hope to see it develop better and better in the UK in the future, and your life will get better and better. Therefore, before I leave, I want to help ambitious young people like you so that you can make Xiangjiang better! "

Listening to MacLehose's words, Yin Jun looked at him with eyes full of respect.

To see what a person's character is like, don't watch him talk, watch how he does things.

MacLehose has proven from the past to the present that he is a truly good person who truly cares about Hong Kong.

It doesn't necessarily mean that he is harboring evil intentions just because he is British. There are good people among foreigners... The previous governors are difficult to evaluate, but this one is the one with the least disagreement.

Without him, Xiangjiang would have been in a mess long ago, and would not have been able to contribute enough to the development of the impoverished mainland in the next ten to twenty years.

But even such an old man did not worry about Xiangjiang before leaving and wanted to do his best. This was because he had deep affection for this land.

He was about to say something, but MacLehose interrupted him again: "Okay, you don't have to worry. I called you here today, not to ask you to make a request right away. You go back and think about it carefully. What do you want? What to do, and then come back and tell me! Although I have to leave, I believe that everything I say will count before I leave, so you don’t have to worry."

"good."

Yin Jun nodded heavily, and then solemnly said: "Thank you, Mr. Governor... This thank you is not for me. I am saying this to you on behalf of all the people of Xiangjiang. Thank you for everything you have done for Xiangjiang." !”

When MacLehose heard this, he smiled slightly, with too much emotion and satisfaction in his smile.

The moment when he first came to Xiangjiang flashed before his eyes, and now seeing the vibrant and vibrant city in front of him, MacLehose really felt that he would have no regrets at work in his life.
