Chapter 451 Countdown

More than a hundred years ago, British Foreign Secretary Lord Palmerston once declared that Hong Kong was a barren island and would never become a trade center.

However, the reality was completely different from his imagination. In just a few decades, this tiny border fishing port had become a commercial miracle. It is not only a world-class shipping center and free trade port, but also the financial center of Asia and the Hollywood of the East.

All this is of course related to the mainland's isolation and the isolation and confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, which made Hong Kong an important transit point. It is also related to the political instability in Southeast Asian countries, including Hong Kong's zero-tariff and other free market economic systems.

However, the most important factor that makes Hong Kong successful is the spirit of Hong Kong culture.

With this spirit, all the turmoil and fate are possible here.

Although Hong Kong is small, it has the ambition to gather together from all over the world. Although Hong Kong has a short history, it has an elegant and restrained aristocratic atmosphere. Liang Wendao once summarized it as a tribal social characteristic, which makes sense, but it is this characteristic that allows them to quickly adapt to changes in the times, and also helps them cultivate perseverance, diligence, and unique creativity, making it Grow into a cultural distribution center that can accommodate the world. Some people also used a local dialect to define it as the "getting done" spirit, which means that any advanced culture will be managed by the local people after arriving in Hong Kong.

Fan Wubing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gently caressing Shen Ying's waist, and stood behind her and said, "Every mainlander has a Hong Kong in their heart. It is the Hong Kong of Yuge and the Four Heavenly Kings; it is the Hong Kong of Wong Kar-wai , "Days of Being Wild"; it is the Hong Kong of "A Better Tomorrow" and Chow Yun; it is the Hong Kong of Young and Dangerous, Wu Li Tou, and Stephen Chow; it is the Hong Kong of Lan Kwai Fong, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Nathan Road; it is the Hong Kong of tea restaurants, It is the Hong Kong of lemon tea; it is the Hong Kong of Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung; it is the Hong Kong of Jin Yong, Jackie Chan, and martial arts; it is the Hong Kong of gossip, paparazzi, and entertainment; it is the Hong Kong of Li Ka-shing and Fok Ying-tung; of course, it is also the Hong Kong people of Bauhinia. The ideal trade center, financial center and shopping paradise.”

Shen Ying's waist was gently touched by Fan Wu. Her body was a little sensitive, but she was unwilling to give up this strange enjoyment, so she asked tremblingly, "So, what is Hong Kong in your mind?"

Fan Wubing hugged Shen Ying tightly, and then replied with a smile, "Hong Kong is a cornucopia! In less than a year, the 10 billion U.S. dollars I invested has turned into 20 billion. What do you think? What is it if it’s not a cornucopia?”

"It's really hard to imagine -" Shen Ying shook her head and then turned to stare at Fan Wubing and asked, "With such a good thing, why don't you call me?! It's not a good habit to eat alone!"

"It's not delicious to eat alone. If your teeth are not good, you won't be able to eat it." Fan Wubing replied with a wry smile.

Feel. Hong Kong people are still stingy, but they just took away tens of billions of dollars from here.

They nervously focused on prevention and control. I probably don’t even know what kind of moves to make.

Fan Wubing thinks. Hong Kong's financial system still has some problems. Otherwise, it is impossible to become the next target of Soros and others. Although it may not be completely successful. However, the benefits obtained from the Hong Kong market are definitely the largest and may be far greater than those obtained in Southeast Asian countries.

Both of them were taking a break from their busy schedule this time. But in fact, there were still a lot of things they had to deal with. The phone calls basically didn't stop for long. People often called to report that Fan Wubing felt very depressed.

"Why do you have so much work on your hands? Look, I don't have any phone calls here -" Fan Wubing said to Shen Ying.

"I can't compare to you. As long as you leave for a day, things in the company will be very busy." Shen Ying replied.

This time someone called her to ask her about a batch of special wine to welcome the return of Hong Kong on July 1st. After Shen Ying made simple arrangements, she said to Fan Wubing, "Why is it so easy in your company?" ?”

Fan Wubing smiled and replied, "This is the difference in understanding in business management."

"Can you tell me more specifically? I don't want to grow old prematurely." Shen Ying asked, holding Fan Wubing's arm.

"In short, it is the difference between the family management model and the modern enterprise management model." Fan Wubing explained.

Fan Wubing ordered some drinks and made some food to go with the wine. He and Shen Ying were enjoying the night view in the suite while lighting candles and sitting there talking and drinking. They had a very comfortable time.

The advantages of the family management model are obvious, but the disadvantages are even more obvious. Especially after the bankruptcy of Wang An Computer Company, major Chinese consortiums are reviewing their own business management models and absorbing the management models of Western consortiums. Introduce professional managers to manage, so that your consortium can try to avoid falling into the same ending as Wang An Computer Company because there is no successor.

Fan Wubingyi

While drinking, I was teaching Shen Ying how to run a business, and this time passed unknowingly.

"Let's take a mandarin duck bath together." Fan Wubing suddenly thought.

"Are you so depressed if you don't do that for a day?" Shen Ying asked, "I heard from others that you don't know anything about several girls."

"How can such a thing happen? I firmly deny this!" Fan Wubing rejected the accusation very firmly, thinking in his heart, I and them are very clear, those who have had sex are those who have not. I've never been there before. Is there anything unclear about it?

Although Shen Ying firmly opposed, Fan Wubing finally kissed her until she was dazed and carried her into the bathroom.

After the two of them lay on the bed, Fan Wubing was very excited and wanted to finish his job in one go, but Shen Ying grabbed him there.

"It's so big!" Shen Ying was a little worried: she grabbed Xiao Fan with too much force.

"Don't grab the balls--" Before Fan Bing finished speaking, he took a breath with a hiss, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Shen Ying was very scared when she saw this, and she didn't know what to do, "Aren't you very powerful? Nothing will happen, right? What should I do?!"

After a long time, Fan Wubing finally recovered, and looked at Shen Ying with tears in his eyes and said, "I say, my wife, you can't pinch your eggs. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are afraid of kitchen knives! If you use a little more strength, the egg yolk will break, woo woo."

In this way, Fan Wubing's idea was also ruined. He slept with her in his arms all night. Fan Wubing thought that Liu Xiahui must have been the same in the past. If there was no special reason, I really don't believe that he could remain calm.

Early the next morning, an important official from the Hong Kong government invited Fan Wubing to a banquet, but Fan Wubing still felt a little embarrassed, so he had to excuse himself that he had caught a cold and could not attend the banquet.

Shen Ying felt very guilty about this, and made breakfast for Fan Wubing and fed him mouthful by mouthful.

"How does the egg soup I made for you taste?" Shen Ying looked at Fan Wubing's frowning expression with concern, and asked a little nervously.

Fan Wubing really couldn't bear to say anything, so he evaded, "Your cooking skills are excellent. The blame is on the chicken that laid the egg. It didn't cultivate the egg well."

Shen Ying was very depressed after hearing this, "You might as well just say that my soup is unpalatable. This time when I return to China, I must find a good master to teach me cooking skills, otherwise, I will definitely be often ridiculed by you in the future."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. It's impossible for a person to have all the advantages. That's not good. People who are too talented are always easily envied by heaven. I don't want you to have any accidents."

"I'm so happy that you said that. In fact, I'm also worried that the fumes will choke me silly-" Shen Ying turned from worry to joy and kissed Fan Wubing on the face.

"Why is it that every time we are together, something always happens?" Fan Wubing said in surprise, "I really think you are the spy sent by God to monitor me!"

"Really? What did I monitor you for?" Shen Ying asked innocently.

"You basically know all my secrets!" Fan Wubing replied.

In fact, it is true. Fan Wubing has told Shen Ying about most of his things, including many of his investment plans, fund operations, exhibition intentions, etc. He has told Shen Ying about them. Even the layout of Hong Kong stocks this time has been mentioned before, but he just didn't say that he was going to play so big.

And he has never concealed some of his interactions with senior executives from Shen Ying. To some extent, Shen Ying knows Fan Wubing better than other members of the family.

"Then you'd better not play tricks with me, otherwise, if I get angry, I will reveal your cards!" Shen Ying wrinkled her nose and waved her fist at Fan Wubing, threateningly.

"So I always want to cook the rice into a cooked rice, but why do I always fail?" Fan Wubing said a little depressed.

"It's definitely not the right time. You still need to work harder!" Shen Ying said with a chuckle.

After the two stayed here for a few days, it was finally June 30th, and the countdown to the Hong Kong handover ceremony was about to enter the final hours.

At this time, officials from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority came to greet Fan Wubing and Shen Ying, took them to the Rolls-Royce fleet, and then went directly to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, where everyone would witness the lowering of the Union Jack and the raising of the five-star red flag.

Fan Wubing and Shen Ying attended the event in their best clothes, sitting in the car and looking at the streets outside. At this time, martial law was already in place.
