Chapter 1201 Official Language!

Yang Ming not only wants to promote Mandarin, he also wants to further promote simplified Chinese characters and even ancient history and culture.

These did not exist in Yang Ming's previous life, so so many things happened later.

However, Yang Ming knew that this was the general trend and it would never be the same as in his previous life.

At this time, these cabinet members, including Mai Lisi, Ma Shimin, Wei Li, and even Tang Shilian were surprised to hear it.

Because they know very well that it is not a simple matter for the boss to promote Mandarin. There are too many things involved behind it.

However, since Yang Ming made the decision like that, the cabinet and the Secretariat must do what Yang Ming said.

Yang Ming talked with them for more than an hour.

After the meeting.

Yang Ming left behind Mai Lisi and Ma Shimin.

These two people are the two white people that Yang Ming trusts most and are also the most capable.

"Boss, will your decision cause other problems?" Melis asked.

"Mailisi, I have actually been thinking about it for ten years."

In other words, from 1978 to 1988, Yang Ming has been considering this issue for exactly ten years.

Historically, although the post-97 generation returned to China in name only.

However, in fact, very big problems still arise because of the fragmentation in various aspects of culture.

Like the simplest.

Domestic tourists who come to Xiangjiang cannot understand the Cantonese spoken here in Xiangjiang.

Ordinary people here in Xiangjiang don’t speak Mandarin.

This naturally raises many questions.

Mai Lisi and Ma Shimin are both extremely smart people. They know very well that Yang Ming has already considered the affairs of the Imperial Group in the next ten years.

Thinking from Yang Ming's position and perspective, they felt that the boss's overall view was indeed much better than theirs.

What's more, now, the major groups in Xiangjiang, even communications, TV stations, media newspapers, etc. are in the hands of Yang Ming. If Yang Ming says to do that, here will definitely follow suit.

Yang Ming finished talking to Mailisi and Ma Shimin.

After the two left.

Yang Ming called Lin Dezhong.

"Butler, inform the Governor's Mansion that I will visit Mr. Governor in the afternoon."

Lin Dezhong also called the Governor's Mansion.

noon.

Yang Ming finished lunch.

afternoon.

Simply rest for two hours.

Yang Ming was going to take a car with Lin Dezhong to the Governor's Mansion.

Lan Jieying has not entered the Governor's Mansion yet, but now that she heard that Sir Yang went to the Governor's Mansion, she also wanted to see it.

"Sir Yang, can I go with you to see the Governor's Palace?"

In Yang Ming's opinion, the Governor's Mansion in Xiangjiang is just a larger manor.

That's it.

However, for most ordinary people in Xiangjiang, they are still very curious and feel that it is very mysterious.

Like Guan Jiahui, Zhong Chuhong has already followed Yang Ming to see it.

As for Lin Dezhong, Lin Xiuzhi, and He Chaoluo, they have all been there many times with Yang Ming.

"You really want to see it?"

"Yes."

Yang Ming also asked Lan Jieying to follow.

When Yang Ming sat in the Rolls-Royce.

about an hour.

Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the Governor's Palace.

When the red-headed Asan, the security guard here, opened the car door for Yang Ming respectfully.

When Yang Ming got off the car, he already saw Governor Zhong Yijie and his wife, as well as Chief Secretary Wei Yixin waiting here.

In the morning, the Government House suddenly received a call from the Repulse Bay Villa. Sir Yang was coming to the Government House in the afternoon. Zhong Yijie and Wei Yixin, who were originally resting, immediately felt that Sir Yang had something important to ask them.

Now, I finally met Sir Yang.

They have learned that at the Seoul Olympics, Sir Yang and Mr. Huo will lead the Hong Kong Olympic team to Seoul to participate in the Olympic Games and participate in the opening ceremony.

"Mr. Governor, Madam Governor, hello."

Yang Ming and Zhong Yijie greeted each other separately.

Then he shook hands with Chief Secretary Wei Yixin who was standing beside him.

Before entering inside.

Originally, Zhong Yijie wanted to talk to Yang Ming alone first, but Yang Ming said, "I don't mind talking with Mr. Chief Secretary."

Originally, the position of Chief Secretary of the Governor-General's Office in Hong Kong was also very high and important. However, since Yang Ming's relationship, the position of Chief Secretary seems to have become less important.

There are many things that only the Governor knows and the Chief Secretary does not know at all.

When Wei Yixin heard Sir Yang say that, he didn't know if he was grateful or something else.

However, Wei Yixin knew very well that now he had no say.

If Sir Yang doesn't like him by then, he may not even be able to keep this position.

Arriving at Zhong Yijie's study.

Yang Ming, Zhong Yijie, and Wei Yixin are here.

Yang Ming said directly: "Mr. Governor, Mr. Chief Secretary, considering the importance of the Imperial Group's market in the mainland, I have promoted Mandarin within the Imperial Group."

Now Yang Ming is speaking English, but these two people are very smart. They understand that the Mandarin spoken by Sir Yang does not refer to English, but to Chinese.

Speaking of which, Zhong Yijie's own Chinese is pretty good, and he can also speak Cantonese.

However, now that he heard that Sir Yang actually wanted to promote Mandarin within the Imperial Group, he was really shocked.

Wei Yixin on the side was even more surprised when he heard this.

Could it be Sir Yang?

"In addition, I think Xiangjiang should also use Chinese as one of its official languages."

At this time, the official language in Xiangjiang was English.

That is to say, almost all of Hong Kong's important press conferences are in English, because Hong Kong is still managed by white people, so English is the official language.

However, now Sir Yang actually wants to make Chinese the official language, Zhong Yijie and Wei Yixin are even more shocked.

What does this mean?

It means that in future meetings, in addition to English, there will be Mandarin.

In addition to these.

Yang Ming also proposed that the simplified Chinese characters will be gradually promoted.

. . .

Yang Ming talked with Zhong Yijie and Wei Yixin for more than an hour.

The more they listened, the more surprised they were.

At this time, it was only 1988, but in the eyes of the two, Sir Yang had already considered what would happen ten years later.

It was obvious that Sir Yang was considering the future of Hong Kong and the Empire Group.

"Sir Yang, let's have a meeting first and then announce it when the time comes." Zhong Yijie said.

In fact, for things like these, it is not that Yang Ming said so, but the Governor's Office is doing so now.

But before this, when the domestic and London sides were talking, they had already discussed it. In fact, this was also reminded by Yang Ming and the old gentleman. The old gentleman also knew the importance of this, so he wrote it in the relevant content.

In other words, these are all legal.

It’s just that no one had ever brought it up before, and now Yang Ming was the first to bring it up.

Yang Ming did not stay in the Governor’s Mansion for dinner.

Zhong Yijie and his wife, Wei Yixin personally sent Yang Ming out.

When Yang Ming got on the car and left, Zhong Yijie’s expression was still the same, and Wei Yixin looked very surprised.

If it weren’t for the identity of Sir Yang, he would have wanted to curse him out long ago.

“Governor, what should we do now?” Wei Yixin asked hurriedly.
