Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 881: One Country, Two Systems

The successful hosting of the Spring Festival Gala not only made the TV station famous, but also brought the name of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory into the eyes of people across the country.

A little inquiry will tell you how powerful the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory was, and it also made a large number of people famous, including Zhu Ling and Chen Guangtou.

The heat of the Spring Festival Gala had just died down when Chen Changan received a notice from Uncle Nie to attend a meeting.

The matter was very simple. It was just to invite Chen Changan to participate in the reporting of the preparatory meeting for the Hong Kong Island Work Conference.

All the products of the automobile factory are exported to the world through Hong Kong Island.

As the head of the automobile factory and the leader of the unit that earns the most foreign exchange, it is only natural for him to invite Chen Changan to attend the meeting.

After Chen Changan and Uncle Nie walked into the conference room, the meeting began immediately.

“According to the latest news, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose will visit our country in the near future.

As we all know, the new land lease in Hong Kong Island clearly states that the deadline is June 1997, 6.

Although there are still more than a decade before the expiration date, the British are getting a little anxious as my country's international status continues to rise."

Everyone in the conference room was listening attentively, including Chen Changan.

Chen Changan only knew that Hong Kong would be returned on July 7st, but he did not expect that the original contract actually stated it was June 1th.

“It is clear that the purpose of the Governor of Hong Kong Island’s visit to our country this time is very clear.

The issue of Hong Kong's return will definitely be mentioned, and the other issues are minor and insignificant.

Everyone present here has connections with Hong Kong Island. You can express your own opinions on how to view the return of Hong Kong Island. "

There was an immediate buzz in the conference room, and even Uncle Nie, who was standing nearby, asked in a low voice.

"Changan, do you think we should take back Hong Kong Island when the term expires?"

“Of course, it’s clearly written in black and white in the contract, why not take it back?

We are the new China, and we do not have to abide by the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, acting in accordance with the treaty is already giving them enough face.

They have been operating in Hong Kong Island for so many years and have made so much money, but they still don't want to leave?

If we don't take it back, do we have to renew the contract for another 100 years? Let's see who dares to sign it.

Even if it is only for one year, whoever signs it will be a traitor of the new era.”

Chen Changan became more and more angry as he spoke. There was no need to hold such a meeting at all, and the withdrawal was inevitable.

If you don't take it back, what will happen to Macau in the future? Throw it all away?

Chen Changan's voice was a little loud, and the leader on the stage heard it, so he spoke to Chen Changan.

"Director Chen, if you have any opinions, please stand on the stage and speak them out loudly."

The background of the times is different now. Without those messy things, there is nothing to be afraid of for Chen Changan. He can just take the stage.

So Chen Changan stood up and walked to the center of the podium.

"Okay, let's hear what Director Chen of the car factory has to say next."

“My view is very simple, it’s written in black and white, why can’t we take it back?

Don’t Westerners always like to talk about the spirit of contract? Well, then let’s follow the time specified in the contract.

We have been restrained enough in not overturning the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty.

As for the fact that they built Hong Kong Island, they also made money in Hong Kong Island. That’s enough.”

Chen Changan's tough remarks were agreed by many people and were also the opinion of the majority.

However, there are always people who like different opinions to show their uniqueness.

“You make it sound easy, Hong Kong Island is economically prosperous, and has been practicing capitalism under British rule for nearly a hundred years.

Most of the people there are capitalists. According to our requirements, these factories and companies will be nationalized after the return.

How could these capitalists agree to this? They would all run away before they even return.

In the end, there will only be an empty shell left. What use will it be? When our products, especially those of your car factory, cannot be sold, what will we do?"

As the words fell, the people who had just been provoked by Chen Changan suddenly calmed down.

Hong Kong Island does need to be returned, but getting back an empty shell is not what they want to see.

So everyone turned their eyes to Chen Changan, wanting to see what he would say.

Chen Changan laughed. It is said that some leaders are far-sighted and always come up with some jaw-dropping ideas.

“Even if it’s an empty shell, it’s still land that belongs to our country.

We cannot give up even a single cent of our land to others. If we do, we will be the sinner of the nation."

As Chen Changan's powerful words fell, the conference room became unusually quiet and no one dared to question.

“Hong Kong Island has been away from the embrace of the motherland for nearly a hundred years. For several generations, it has been under British rule and has become accustomed to the ways of a capitalist country.

Considering this aspect, I think we also need to take their ideas into consideration.

So for the problems in Hong Kong Island, I think different problems should have different systems.”

As Chen Changan spoke, everyone realized that Chen Changan must have had this idea a long time ago.

The leader who was presiding over the meeting spoke up.

"Director Chen, please tell me what you think."

"My idea is very simple. After we take back Hong Kong Island, we have sovereignty over Hong Kong Island. With sovereignty, we can station troops there.

But Hong Kong still maintains the capitalist system, which is called "one country, two systems".

Choose a person who is loyal to the motherland and is the chief executive of Hong Kong Island. This is called Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong.

To sum up, it is "one country, two systems", with Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong and a high degree of autonomy, and no change for 50 years."

Everyone in the conference room was repeating Chen Changan's words.

Chen Changan's suggestion had a great impact on them and sounded good.

"Why has it remained unchanged for fifty years?"

"It's very simple to appease people. You said one country, two systems today, but what about the deadline?

There is no deadline, and the decision was changed in the second year. What do you think the capitalists will think?

Hong Kong Island has been under British rule for nearly a hundred years, and three or four generations of people have considered themselves British.

It will take more than three to five years to change their minds.

After Hong Kong's return to China, new teaching materials were used, starting from the youngest children.

Fifty years is enough for two generations to grow up and receive new education, and then they will accept the fact that they are Chinese.

After two generations, one will naturally develop a sense of identity with the motherland.

Therefore, fifty years is the time to appease the current people and to train the next two generations.”

As Chen Changan finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Chen Changan’s method can be said to be the best way to deal with Hong Kong Island at present.

“I’ve always heard that whenever Director Chen gives advice, it’s always very good advice.

Today, it is true that there is no false reputation. "
