Chapter three hundred and seventy-fifth of 1995

z

Wujian didn't pay much attention to the auction in Hong Kong, because the matter here should be handled.z

Besides, his identity is completely different now. His popularity is too high, which has caused celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong to invite him. Even the current Governor of Hong Kong Patten also sent envoys to greet Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing attended a banquet of several important figures and had a casual social event, but when facing the invitation of Hong Kong Governor Patten, he seemed a little hesitant.

Patten is a senior British Conservative politician, former Minister of Environment, Chairman of the Conservative Party, and currently the Governor of Hong Kong.

Unlike previous Hong Kong Governors, Patten was the only Hong Kong Governor who believed in Catholicism. There were also few Hong Kong Governors who came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but from the Congress. Patten did not accept any titles before taking office, and did not wear traditional colonial official uniforms when he took office. Because his body was slightly fat and his Chinese translation was very Chinese, the media nicknamed him Fat Peng after taking office.

Shortly after taking office, Patten fell into bad relations with the mainland top leaders. He said he would soon reform the electoral system of the Legislative Council to accelerate the pace of democracy in Hong Kong. However, the mainland government immediately expressed dissatisfaction, pointing out that the reform had not consulted the central government's opinions, and declared that the relevant reforms would be abolished after the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty. At that time, many Beijing officials accused him of being a poisonous snake and a thief. The director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office at that time even denounced Patten as a sinner for the eternal sinner.

Since he announced the political reform plan, he has never been invited to meet with mainland leaders during his tenure.

Under this circumstance, there was a wave of immigration in Hong Kong, and traditional British-funded companies also showed signs of withdrawal. However, Hong Kong's economy is still booming, with the property market and the stock market being the most significant. At the end of 1993, the Hang Seng Index broke through 10,000 points for the first time. Hong Kong became the eighth largest trading region in the world during Patten's tenure.

However, Fan Wubing remembers it very clearly that after Patten Bing resigned, Hong Kong was caught in an Asian financial crisis and the stock market was facing a collapse. If the mainland government had not taken action in time and used hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves to support the market, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Fan Wubing is also a little confused about such a last-generation Hong Kong governor who is deeply hated by the top leaders of the mainland. Should he accept his invitation?

But overall, this person is not a bad person. He just has different political views and insists on his own position. At that time, the central government was worried that the Hong Kong government would spend all the money or owe a lot of debts before returning. So he agreed with the Hong Kong government that when Hong Kong returns, he should leave no less than 25 billion Hong Kong dollars in fiscal reserves. However, when he left office, the Hong Kong government's fiscal reserves exceeded 300 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In this way, after Patten later stepped down as the governor of Hong Kong, he visited Beijing and received warm reception. He also partially recognized his workplace.

After thinking for a while, Fan Wubing felt that it would be better not to tease the sensitive nerves of the senior management. After all, his current status is different. Any move is easy to be caught and criticized endlessly. It also easily brings a lot of trouble to his father Fan Heng. So Fan Wubing politely rejected the invitation from Patten Dingkang. However, he asked someone to choose a relatively valuable Chinese antique and sent it to him. It was a friendly expression.

However, after staying in Hong Kong for a few days, I found that this year was really a turbulent. Teresa Teng died of illness and Eileen Chang also died of illness. Although the British princess Diana was not sick, she died of a car accident. It was also this year that Faye Wong's name finally changed from Wang Jingwen. Leslie Cheung admitted that she was gay.

Of course, it's not all bad things. At least Jordan has come back this year.

Jordan can jump and dunk at the free throw line. This is a move that few people can complete. He is therefore known as the airman. Since 1991, he led the Chicago Bulls and won three NBA league championships in a row. Two years ago, his father was suddenly killed. At the age of 30, Jordan announced his withdrawal from the basketball world. He said that he no longer needs to prove anything in basketball.

Jordan's retirement caused Nike's stock to fall by three quarters.

Jordan's basketball career has only been paused for two years. In March this year, Jordan returned to the Bulls. His return has brought many fans back to the basketball court and TV.

It was also from this year that Jordan led the team to continue to stage the NBA myth, completed the second three consecutive championships, and established the Bulls Dynasty.

Another important move this year is that the foreign exchange coupons that have been in circulation for fifteen years have finally been announced to be abolished.

In the early days of reform and opening up, China's commodity supply was still short. In order to take care of foreign friends, the State Council authorized the Bank of China to issue RMB foreign exchange vouchers from April 1980. It was not until the beginning of the year that it announced the cessation of foreign exchange vouchers.

After the founding of New China, the government formulated corresponding regulations on the activities of foreigners in China for the needs of national security. Foreigners must be accompanied by Chinese people every time they go, and must go to designated places. The US dollar cannot be exchanged for RMB, and can only be used in foreign-related stores such as Friendship Stores with foreign exchange coupons.

Until the 1980s, foreigners were still under great restrictions in China. For example, if you go to the suburbs or the countryside, you must return to the city to live at night.

It was not until the 1990s that I gradually couldn't feel it.

Around the Spring Festival, the Hong Kong movie "Red Fan District" was introduced to the mainland in the name of the New Year film. "Red Fan District" starring Hong Kong actors Jackie Chan and Anita Mui, telling the story of Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang fighting against gangsters in New York, USA. "Red Fan District" had a national box office revenue of only second only to the Hollywood blockbuster "The True Lies".

After "Red Fan District" entered the mainland, mainland New Year films "Party A and Party B", "Seeking A and "Endless", "Mobile Cellphone" were released one after another, becoming another choice for ordinary people during the Spring Festival.

This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of world movies. Ten American Hollywood blockbusters including "The True Lies" and "The Lion King" have entered China, which has really made the Chinese feel the high-quality audio and video enjoyment of American blockbusters.

In the United States, film-based cultural products have become an important export content after the aviation and food industry. It also provides more than 17 million jobs to the United States. Cultural and entertainment output is replacing the more realistic automobile manufacturing, steel and financial services industries, and quickly becoming the driver of new global economic growth."

It was also during this year that computer vendors sold one million computers in China, and more than three million computers entered their homes.

Computers also changed the fate of a female college student.

In May this year, a female college student named Zhu Ling from Tsinghua University suddenly lost her hair and her whole body was cramped. After being sent to the hospital, she fell into a coma. The hospital repeatedly checked, but no cause of the disease was found and there was no way to take medicine.

A classmate of Zhu Ling was studying at Peking University when he was studying at Peking University. He sent Zhu Ling's symptoms to the Internet of Peking University and asked netizens around the world. A few hours later, hundreds of diagnostic information were transmitted from all over the world to computer screens, and many of the information believed that Zhu Ling might be poisoned.

According to the information obtained from the Internet, the hospital later confirmed that Zhu Ling was indeed poisoned and began to prescribe the right medicine. In January of the following year, Zhu Ling was discharged from the hospital. The famous saying that Chinese people felt the power of being too many people was confirmed on the Internet for the first time.

However, during the few days in Hong Kong, there were also things that upset Fan Wubing.

On the first day, he attended the welcome dinner of the head of Fan's Investment Group's branch in Hong Kong. In order to please Fan Wubing, the person in charge here specially invited many business celebrities and actresses from the entertainment industry to attend, making the dinner very lively.

Many of the beautiful actresses don’t care about their unstandard Mandarin and come to Fan Wubing to get close to him. In addition to hoping that Fan Wubing can arouse some interest in him, they just want to take a photo with him. You must know that Fan Wubing’s apparent value is already quite amazing. If you have the opportunity to contact him, you must try your best.

As a result, the next day, Fan Wubing discovered that there were many tabloids on the street, with overwhelming rumors about her and her actresses.

"The Hong Kong media is really gossipy-" Fan Wubing's face turned green after turning a few pages.

If they wrote this way, I would not be a young and promising business tycoon. It was just Ximen Qing, who was merciless. It seemed that beautiful actresses from the age of fourteen to forty, had secrets that they had to tell.

The most disgusting thing is not this, but some revelations are simply described as the actress involved. Looking at the buses who were flirting with their heads and didn't know how many hands they had changed, Fan Wubing felt like vomiting.

When the person in charge of Fan's Investment Group's Hong Kong saw Fan Wubing looking at the gossip magazines in the hotel, he immediately said with some treacherous concern, "The remarks in Hong Kong are open, and the media is even more unscrupulous. Especially after Apple magazine appeared, it mainly focuses on making people and creating gimmicks. The contents they write are also some stolen news, and many of them are maliciously slandered out of nothing. However, Hong Kong people like to watch this kind of thing, and the parties involved do not seem to be offensive. Instead, they think that this can increase their popularity. This cycle has caused no one in Hong Kong's media to control it."

"I'd better go back early, stay here to create topics for them in vain, and pay me a cent for the advertising fee." Fan Wubing was also helpless about this.

Therefore, Fan Wubing returned to China in a low-key manner, which seemed a little guilty. For this reason, Hong Kong media have set off a new round of hype. The main argument is to address various speculations caused by Fan Wubing's close relationship with many actresses.

Until Fan Wubing returned to Beijing and had a routine physical examination for the old leader, he actually asked for the first time, "Is the matter between you and who is true or false?"

"?" Fan Wubing suddenly fell.
