Chapter 297

"Mr. Mason, I'm sorry to ask you to come here in the rainstorm. The governor has known the whole thing, but he is talking with London on the phone to deal with more important work. After learning the whole thing, he said that if everything is true, Hong Kong's trade and manufacturing industry will shrink from a trickle to a complete depletion, that would be A Hong Kong economic disaster. Although he didn't say it, I guess he must be a little disappointed in you, "said Xiao Dick, the confidential secretary of governor Grantham, sitting in the large red seat in the waiting room at No. 4 of governor's house.

After the Chinese servant who helped deliver the coffee bowed and left, he continued to lower his voice to Shi Zhiyi, director of the industrial and commercial administration opposite Incapable of action, Mason dislike Chinese people for nearly twenty-four hours a day. Americans can't help it. An Indian selling Chinese mainland hair is caught by the Americans. You know, governor general is very sick of Americans now. Your customs office can cover up this matter with a low profile. Instead of leaving it to the Americans in a big way, they will have the opportunity to criticize Hong Kong's enforcement of the embargo. "

Xiao Dick is Ge Lianghong's fourth confidant in the Hong Kong Governor's office. The first, Ge Lianghong's adjutant, the second, Ge Lianghong's personal assistant, the third, the manager of the Hong Kong Governor's office, and the fourth is his confidential secretary of the Hong Kong Governor's office. Although Ge Lianghong doesn't really rank for them, if Ge Lianghong doesn't have time to meet some people in person, they will be transferred to the Hong Kong Governor's office When some confidants go to the interview, the waiting room number they use can prove that this ranking really exists in the governor's office.

Xiao Dick met some people for GE Lianghong. He could use the No. 4 waiting room of the Hong Kong Governor's house, while the three people in front of him just had the right to use No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 waiting room.

As for Shi Zhiyi before today, Ge Lianghong will personally meet him in his office as long as he is sure that there is nothing urgent to deal with. However, this time, even the head of the Hong Kong Governor's office did not show up. Only a housekeeper came forward to say hello and asked a confidential secretary to meet Shi Zhiyi in the reception hall No. 4. It has been explained that GE Lianghong has a deep understanding of Shi Zhiyi Very dissatisfied.

Shi Zhiyi had a calm expression on his face with two big bags under his eyes. When xiaodick was a little excited, he just stirred the coffee gently. After the other party finished, he deeply smelled the aroma of coffee and said slowly:

"I almost forgot the last time I drank traditional British coffee from Wedgwood."

"Mason, this is not a good time for you to praise the governor's collection. The governor is very angry. Do you know what I mean? You let him be passive at the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong. Who do I want to change? If you want to get information on your own territory, he will be very angry from the annoying foreign population." xiaodick said to Shi Zhiyi.

After taking a sip of coffee and putting down the coffee cup, Shi Zhiyi said to Shoredik, "Mr. Hoge, hair is not strategic material, not issued in the UN embargo order. So, is it against the order that an Indian sells Chinese mainland hair in Hongkong?"

"Mason, you are the head of the industrial and commercial administration. Are you kidding me? Or do you just look like Mason, but under your skin is another ignorant Chinese or Indian? Don't tell me more jokes. I'm not interested in telling you those funny jokes in London now." Xiaodick was angry with Shi Zhiyi's rhetorical questions, and even his language became a little vicious.

There are two forms of embargo in Hongkong today. The first is the UN strategic goods embargo imposed by the United Nations on the Chinese mainland. The second is the United States's efforts to expand and prohibit all embargo on Chinese mainland trade.

The first Chinese mainland Chinese smuggling merchants smuggled rubber, steel, gasoline, diesel, medicine and other strategic materials to Chinese mainland through various channels. The second embargo was the shrimp in Hongkong sea and the dried duck in Hongkong. The United States to ensure that goods free from direct or indirect relations with the mainland of China will not enter the free market in Hongkong. Li Jian, the review and investigation of the second embargo has reached an almost abnormal level.

Last month, the emerging wig manufacturing industry created a figure of more than HK $3 million a month by using wigs as a commodity. If it was in the early post-war period, this figure might not be so eye-catching, but after the implementation of the embargo order, this figure suddenly raised the economic and trade data of Hong Kong, which has fallen to the bottom, and everything became less embarrassing, for the governor of Hong Kong and Shi Zhiyi, This figure can be a political achievement that can be mentioned by both of them. It can be generously shown to London: look, after Hong Kong is restricted by the embargo, we strive to open up new commodity markets in Hong Kong, stabilize Hong Kong's economy and maintain the stability of industry and commerce.

But only a month later, the industry suffered a devastating blow. The India supplier of wigs industry supplied Chinese mainland raw materials for various factories, which allowed the more than 100 Hongkong customs consulates to finally attack Hongkong's colonial government for the ineffective implementation of the embargo order, and insisted on China's big government under the connivance of the Hongkong colonial government. Lu has used his hair to make money from the American people in exchange for bullets and shot and killed American soldiers on the Korean battlefield.

After receiving the news, the Consul General of the US consulate in Hong Kong immediately called the Hong Kong Governor's office to inquire about the matter and said that he would continue to arrange investigators to follow up the follow-up investigation of the whole incident, which made Ge Lianghong, a Hong Kong governor who had no knowledge of the small matter of selling Indian hair, very passive and dignified in his own colony, How could a foreigner tell him such a thing? Therefore, this is one of the reasons why he is very dissatisfied with Shi Zhiyi at this time. The greater dissatisfaction is that the wig industry may not be able to help him improve his political performance in the future, because the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong has contacted the U.S. Department of Commerce to start a thorough investigation of wigs made in Hong Kong that have entered the United States before, and the orders that have not been completed will be delivered soon, The US Department of Commerce issued a document for mandatory suspension. Once there is no order in the US market, the wig industry in Hong Kong can die.

"Mr. Hogg, what do you think of the emerging wig industry in Hong Kong?" Shi Zhiyi was not angry at Xiao Dick's ridicule, although his official status was actually much higher than Xiao Dick.

Xiao Dick said coldly, "the previous industry is your political achievements. As long as you maintain this industry stably and spend this period..."

"No, no, no, we don't talk about colonial achievements. I mean that industry. It's disorderly. It's just the most basic capital impulse. When you see an industry making money, everyone flocks to it. The disorder is reflected in that the raw material supply doesn't even have industry norms and supervision. Factory owners only want to produce wigs quickly, but don't consider the problems of raw materials, machines, etc. they just want to I'm waiting to make money. As for the rules of this industry, don't worry about it. Just don't hinder me from making money. It's this kind of capital impulse that led to this incident. It's very normal, but it broke out so quickly, which is also the result of my adding fuel to the flames. "Shi Zhiyi spoke to Xiao dick in a dull voice.

Xiao Dick didn't want to hear Shi Zhiyi say nonsense about industry analysis, but Shi Zhiyi's last sentence stunned him: "you mean?"

"I know the whole thing, and I also greeted the medical and health department and the marine police department." Shi Zhiyi spread his hands to Xiao Dick and said with a smile.

"Are you crazy? Even if there is no order in this industry, it can bring enough bright eyes to Hong Kong and show the figures to London, but you destroy it?" shoddy asked incredulously, "do you want to be transferred from Hong Kong to Africa by those people in the overseas colonization Department of London to bask in the sun? Maybe you will never return to London again in your life? What a good opportunity you have ruined!"

"I didn't destroy it, but let it start again. The profits of wig products are very considerable. Don't you think we should take the follow-up orders from Chinese factory owners to the British? They should be managed by the British to promote the development of the whole industry? This can also better announce to the world that Hong Kong can have bright economic figures in this dark period because Hong Kong belongs to the British Because the British have made great efforts, "Shi Zhiyi asked xiaodick.

Shoddy frowned: "Mason, your words do sound tempting, but at present, the wig industry is infinitely close to shutdown. Which British businessman is willing to spend his heart and effort to do this? I don't want to say that the British are bad, but the British businessmen have been scared by the embargo and almost run away from Hong Kong."

"The wig industry has been seriously impacted, but a trading company and factory have survived. The boss of that trading company is an Englishman who is willing to stand up in this industry crisis. I will meet all practitioners in the wig industry this afternoon and introduce them to this Englishman who has fearlessness, sacrifice, courage and all kinds of excellent British virtues Please convey to the governor that everything will be back on track in a month at most, and Hong Kong and its economy will be more brilliant under the governor's rule. "Shi Zhiyi smiled at Xiao Dick," I promise. "
