Chapter 230 Mr. Yang's Identity Is Different Now!

Yang Ming finished talking to his parents.

He went to the third floor to rest.

16:35 pm.

"Azhu, call the housekeeper."

Ah Zhu went to call Lin Dezhong.

Linde Bell comes up.

"Butler, I want you to check something out."

"Young Master Yang, tell me."

When Yang Ming said it, Lin Dezhong took it down and immediately went to investigate the matter personally.

Yang Ming continued to sit in the study.

. . .

That night.

Yang Ming, Yang Jirong, and Li Yufang finished dinner together.

Yang Ming was walking in the garden of the villa, and Lin Dezhong came back.

What Yang Ming asked him to investigate was the recent incident of smuggling from China to Xiangjiang.

According to Yang Ming's historical data, in 1978, 1979, and even in early 1980, a large number of mainlanders entered Xiangjiang through smuggling.

However, only some of them actually successfully smuggled into Hong Kong.

In 1979, there were 300,000 people smuggling out of Guangdong Province, and 75,817 people escaped.

From January to August 1980, another 143,134 people smuggled out of Guangdong Province, and 36,673 people escaped.

In other words, not all of them can successfully sneak into Hong Kong.

Some are discovered by border guards and may be immediately deported to their hometowns after being caught.

Some had accidents, injuries, and even deaths during the process of smuggling.

Now in 1978, Yang Ming knew that the country had begun to enter the prelude to opening up, but there were still a large number of people smuggling to Xiangjiang.

This time, when Yang Ming was in Yanjing, he mentioned this matter to the old gentleman.

Yang Ming felt that since those people wanted to go to Xiangjiang to make a fortune and live a good life, why forcefully stop them.

The old gentleman thinks so. If these people want to come, he will let people quietly open the border and let them come to Xiangjiang.

In the future, there will be no shortage of people in the country, and on the contrary, they will win the hearts and minds of these people.

In order to reduce unnecessary sacrifices and even casualties as much as possible.

Yang Ming feels that both parties should cooperate.

Instead of driving them away in the same barbaric way as before.

Historically, in Hong Kong, because a large number of people from the mainland smuggled into Hong Kong, the Governor-General of Hong Kong also overreacted.

At that time, the Governor-General's Office of Hong Kong had to announce that it would cancel the "resistance policy" that had been implemented for many years and switch to "arrest and release".

That is to say, all illegal immigrants arriving in Hong Kong from the mainland will be repatriated to the country; citizens must carry their ID cards anywhere in Hong Kong for reference; illegal immigrants are prohibited from employment, otherwise employers will be severely punished.

In this case, for those who successfully smuggled into Hong Kong and were deported, their fate would be even worse.

Now, Yang Ming asked Butler Lin to investigate the matter.

With Butler Lin's current status, it is actually not difficult.

Nowadays, in the New Territories and Yuen Long, you can find many people smuggled in from the mainland from time to time.

"Young Master Yang, I have investigated clearly and found that there are still many people smuggled in from China. These people are miserable. Some of them have successfully come over and have relatives and friends who have taken refuge with them. They can hide in those Xiangjiang sirs. However, many of those who have not taken refuge are undercover. "

Lin Dezhong had heard of these news before, how could he take care of these things.

Yang Ming nodded.

"You will send a visiting note to Mr. Malihose of the Governor's Palace for me later, and prepare a generous gift. We will go to the Government House to visit Mr. Maliho tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Mr. Yang."

That night.

In the name of Yang Ming, Lin Dezhong sent a bodyguard to deliver an invitation to Mr. Mailihao of the Governor's Office.

MacLehose at Government House.

He had already heard that Mr. Yang and other representatives of Chinese capital were invited to go north to Yanjing during the National Day.

It is impossible to say that Mai Lihao has no idea about this matter.

No matter what, in his opinion, the Chinese capital in Xiangjiang is now managed by them.

Nowadays, so many Chinese-invested people in Hong Kong have returned to China to celebrate the National Day. As the Governor of the Government-General's Office, of course I feel a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, just now, Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, sent someone to personally deliver a visiting note. The visiting note made it clear that Mr. Yang would personally come to visit him at the Governor's Mansion tomorrow morning.

Mr. Yang is coming to visit me tomorrow?

When he saw the visit post, Mai Lihao was very happy.

Since Mr. Yang swallowed up Jardine Matheson Land, the largest foreign bank in Hong Kong, his influence in Hong Kong has surpassed all Chinese capital in Hong Kong, and even British capital.

For Mai Lihao, Mr. Yang not only represents him personally, but also represents the huge interest team behind him. If he rules in Hong Kong, he must have the support of Mr. Yang.

This is why, when Niu Bijian was forced to die, although Mailihao felt sorry for him, it was absolutely impossible for him to come forward to help Niu Bijian.

The situation at that time was that Yang Ming wanted to choose one of Henry Yosek and Niu Bijian to die.

After the Yosek family made a deal with the Imperial Group, Niu Bijian must be the one who died.

Niu Bijian was the chief executive of Jardine Matheson. In fact, the news that he hanged himself in Victoria Detention Center still caused a great sensation in Europe and even England.

However, from beginning to end, no one stood up for him.

From that moment on, Mai Lihao knew that Mr. Yang's identity was really not simple.

This time, Mr. Yang was invited by the country again. After being recognized by the country, Mr. Yang's identity and status became even more important in the eyes of Mailihao.

In the future, perhaps, important matters in Xiangjiang need to be communicated with Mr. Yang in private. Only after making sure that Mr. Yang has no objections can he make a decision.

Now, I learned that Mr. Yang will visit me in person tomorrow.

Mai Lihao was very happy.

He also knew that Mr. Yang did not come to visit him for no reason, there must be other reasons.

When Mai Lihao was deep in thought.

Lin Dezhong went up to the third floor to report to Yang Ming.

"Young Master Yang, I have asked my bodyguard to send the visit note to Mr. Maliho of the Governor's Office, and I have prepared a gift for tomorrow."

"Butler, thank you for your hard work."

After Lin Dezhong went out.

Yang Ming was still in the study on the third floor, looking out the window.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next morning.

October 17, 1978.

Tuesday.

Yang Ming, Li Yufang, and Yang Jirong finished their breakfast.

Yang Ming and Lin Dezhong got into the Rolls-Royce.

Yang Ming and Lin Dezhong arrived at the Federal Building first.

Go up to the Imperial Group.

After distributing the stock information.

Yang Ming took Lin Xiuzhi and Lin Dezhong, left the Federal Building Empire Group, and took a car directly to the Government House on Albert Road, halfway up Central.

Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce has just arrived outside the Governor's Palace.

The white police officer and guard Asan here immediately recognized the identity of Yang Ming's Rolls-Royce.

Yang Ming's original Rolls-Royce was blown up, but the new Rolls-Royce still had the same license plate.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

The white police officer came to greet Yang Ming.

Yang Ming got on the wheelchair and when Lin Xiuzhi pushed Yang Ming over, Governor Mai Lihao, his wife, and secretary Mai Wen came out to greet him in person.

"Mr. Yang, welcome to the Governor's Mansion."

Butler Lin Dezhong gave the gift to secretary Mai Wenhou.

Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, and Lin Dezhong went to the Governor's Mansion.

This is Yang Ming's second time coming to the Governor's Mansion.

It's completely different now than when I first arrived.

This can be seen from the time when the Mailihao couple entertained him.

"Mr. Maliho, I want to talk to you alone."

"Mr. Yang, let's go to the study room to talk."

During this confidential conversation, Yang Ming did not want to appear on TV news, nor did he want to appear in newspapers in Hong Kong.

The two of them were in the study. At first, Meris thought Mr. Yang wanted to talk to him about something.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be about illegal immigrants from China who smuggled themselves into Hong Kong.

In the beginning, Meris was not disgusted with these illegal immigrants. However, over time, too many domestic immigrants sneaked in, which would cause a series of problems. Coupled with the pressure on him from the country, he had to make some counterattacks.

"Mr. Yang, do you mean that if illegal immigrants enter Hong Kong from China, not only can they not be deported, but they cannot be harmed?"

Mailihao asked in disbelief.

Why would Mr. Yang take care of this?

Could it be that some other Chinese came to Mr. Yang personally and asked him to come forward to resolve the matter.

"Yes, that's it. They are also living beings. They managed to smuggle themselves to Xiangjiang after almost death, just to live a happy life. In my opinion, Xiangjiang has always been a city of immigrants. Without the injection of these new blood, Xiangjiang would not be the same. How can we continue to develop?”

"Mr. Yang, my suggestion is that you can immigrate to Xiangjiang through legal channels rather than through this illegal means."

Legal channels?

Like the Red Bull researchers and their families that Yang Ming asked Meris to bring back from Siam.

However, there are very few such legal channels.

Even after immigrating to Xiangjiang, if you don't have money, status, or a high degree of education, how can you legally immigrate to Xiangjiang?

If they are this type of people, why do they want to immigrate to Xiangjiang?

"Mr. Maliho, the so-called legality and illegality are just a matter of thought."

If you want to say it is legal, then it is legal.

If you want to say it is illegal, it is illegal.

Yang Ming's words directly broke through Mai Lihao's statement.

"Mr. Yang, I understand that you want to protect the interests of illegal immigrants. However, Xiangjiang is too small and has too many people now. If a large number of immigrants enter Xiangjiang, they will not even be able to get tap water supply and their jobs will be difficult." There is no security, food is not guaranteed, and in addition, a large number of illegal immigrants have entered, causing a series of security problems, which is a headache for me and the Governor's Office. "

This was the reason why Governor Maliho was opposed.

Now the tap water in Xiangjiang depends on the Dongjiang water from the mainland.

Apart from some fresh water stored in some reservoirs, most of Xiangjiang itself is salt water and sea water, which cannot be used at all and can only be used to flush toilets.

As a result, Xiangjiang has always purchased Dongjiang water from the mainland.

In addition to the water of the Dongjiang River, there is also a large amount of food. Xiangjiang itself does not produce crops or even livestock. All kinds of meat can only rely on imports from abroad.

The sudden influx of so many people will inevitably lead to a shortage of food.

What worries Mai Lihao most is that there are so many people suddenly influxing in, and there are restrictions on jobs in Xiangjiang. If these illegal immigrants do not find jobs, they will inevitably lead to a series of public security problems.

Historically, in the 1980s and even the 1990s, many vicious gangsters appeared in Hong Kong, and robbery and robbery crimes have been emerging one after another. This is also closely related to the influx of a large number of illegal immigrants into Hong Kong, which has led to a sharp decline in Hong Kong's public security.

Yang Ming already had a way to deal with what Mai Lihao said.

"Mr. Mai Lihao, none of what you said is a problem."

"First, regarding the tap water problem, if Hong Kong lacks tap water, I can send someone to represent Hong Kong and negotiate with the mainland to allow the mainland to import more tap water. However, regarding the shares of Hong Kong tap water, I and the Empire Group must control the shares."

"Second, regarding the food problem, in my opinion, this is not a problem. On the contrary, it will promote the development of Hong Kong's economy. Food can be imported in large quantities from Hong Kong, or even from the mainland. For these, I can also send people to negotiate with the mainland."

"Third, regarding the issue of work. In my opinion, the existence of these new immigrants pouring into Hong Kong can actually promote the development of all walks of life in Hong Kong. They have just arrived, their salaries are not high, their requirements are not high, and some may not have a high level of education, but they can solve and alleviate part of Hong Kong's labor force. As for the insufficient job positions you mentioned, , or can't find a job. Now, I can let the Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, Jardine Matheson Group, Hong Kong Land Group and other subsidiaries of the Empire Group recruit more employees to solve the employment problem. "

"Fourth, about the public security problem. I think the public security problem cannot be solved either. If the first three problems are solved, the fourth public security problem will basically be solved. For the rest, even if there are still some crimes, these people will be dealt with according to Hong Kong laws or repatriated to the mainland. I think there is no problem. "

"In addition, in my opinion, although Hong Kong has a population of more than 4 million and is already an international metropolis, the population of Hong Kong is far from enough. With Hong Kong's situation, it can integrate more people than it is now. "

Mailie Hao has been listening there.

When he finished listening, he seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Yang could easily solve the problems he just raised.

That is to say, the problems he mentioned were not a problem in front of Mr. Yang.

In this case, how could he object?

Mr. Yang's words are well-founded. The influx of a large number of new people into Hong Kong is indeed beneficial to Hong Kong.

Although there may be some pain in the short term, in the long run, it is very beneficial to the development of Hong Kong.
