Gao Xian's attitude is indeed very simple. No matter what kind of laughter and abuse Xiangjiang land encountered here in the UK, it has actually improved its popularity. That's enough. So he simply let go and let Peter Wei and others play. According to the communication he has made, he met the next Hong Kong Governor Youde.
Britain took great pains to find candidates for Hong Kong Governor again from the circle of diplomats. Finally, Youde, the former British ambassador to China, was determined in December last year, and then began to carry out pre job training, such as more or less systematically learning courses such as urban public administration. When Gao Xian met Youde, Several books on this subject are placed on the table.
Gao Xian knew Youde well when he was British ambassador to China, but now Youde's identity has changed. Before Youde officially took office, they had a face-to-face detailed discussion, which is of great significance.
Youde's positive response also shows that he attaches importance to this meeting.
Although Sir Gao is not the chief representative in the Executive Council of the Hong Kong government, his weight is no worse than that of the chief representative. No one doubts the status of the Chinese leaders in Xiangjiang. As for Sir Gao is not the chief representative, it is because Gao Xian has a long-term vision and skillfully avoids this delicate position.
Now, before Youde took office, Gao Xian took the initiative to worship the wharf and made it clear that he would support Youde's work as a Hong Kong Governor. How can Youde be unhappy!
After exchanging greetings, Gao Xian confessed: "Sir Youde, I may not be able to attend your inauguration ceremony, because the prime minister appointed me as her personal envoy to South America to make some unofficial public relations for the military operation that will be launched in an all-round way soon. The time is really out of control."
Youde is a senior diplomat. After Gao Xian briefly introduced the task given to him by Mrs. Thatcher, Youde knew it in his heart and immediately said, "it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, sir Gao's mission is more important. However, sir Gao shouldn't be stingy about the suggestions on governing Xiangjiang."
"Be effective." Gao Xian smiled, and then his face became serious. "Sir Youde, speaking of the recent situation of Xiangjiang, of course, it's mainly the economic trend. I may spoil your interest."
Youde subconsciously leaned forward, "Sir Gao means that the economic trend of Xiangjiang is not optimistic?"
"Indeed." Gao Xian nodded, "At present, the global economic recession is still continuing, and Xiangjiang naturally cannot be spared. More specifically, Xiangjiang stock market has experienced a bull market, and the Hang Seng Index has turned downward; Xiangjiang real estate industry has also changed from prosperity to decline, and the vacancy rate of buildings can not be ignored; at the same time, high interest rates, devaluation of Hong Kong dollar, shrinking consumption and increasing concern about the 1997 issue, after Sir Youde took office, The problems faced will be quite complex, and there may even be a banking crisis more serious than the Xiangjiang banking crisis in the 1960s. "
It is estimated that Youde was frightened by Gao Xian's words. After being stunned for a long time, he joked: "judging from the situation that Xiangjiang land came to London to show its strength, sir Gao's consortium seems to operate normally and cope freely."
Gao Xian bluntly boasted: "be prepared for danger in times of peace, take precautions, and naturally cope with it. Moreover, the complexity of enterprise management must not be comparable to that of Zhengfu."
Youde sighed gently. "In fact, I am mentally prepared for the difficulty of my future work. According to Sir Gao's analysis, there are many hidden dangers in the economic situation in Xiangjiang, which still exceeded my expectations."
Gao Xian said thoughtfully: "Sir Edward Youde and I are close to each other in order to let Sir Edward Youde know. After all, sir MacLehose's political achievements over the past ten years have been remarkable and the people's livelihood of Xiangjiang has been greatly improved. If there are major economic problems in Xiangjiang during Sir Youde's term of office, it is easy to put the negotiations between Britain and China into a passive situation."
Youde was deeply impressed by Sir Gao's almost nonsense reminder, so he humbly asked, "since Sir Gao has studied the trend of Xiangjiang economy so deeply, there must be a panacea for me."
"I don't deserve a panacea. I do have some ideas for Sir Youde's reference." Gao Xian didn't sell off, and went straight to the theme: "from the current measures taken by the United States and Britain to deal with the severe economic recession, it is most important to find a breakthrough."
"Xiangjiang is just a small place. It doesn't have so much room to move. It can only continue to rely on the external bad environment. I think the breakthrough is in the north. The market there is not only huge beyond imagination, but also can be described as a blank. The cost, including labor, is extremely low, and American capital is attracted to make progress."
……
Gao Xian's solution after "scaring" Youde one-way communication is, in short, to comprehensively strengthen the economic ties between Xiangjiang and Mainland China.
But then again, Gao Xian is not "frightening" Youde. At this stage, Xiangjiang's economic situation is indeed full of crisis. It is waiting for some factor to induce Youde's career as a Hong Kong Governor. If Youde's political performance is too far worse than Mai Lihao's, his face will be very ugly.
Sir Gao's cards are placed here. Of course, Youde won't think it alarmist, and then remembered everything in his heart.
Of course, Gao Xian not only reflected the difficulties faced by Xiangjiang's economy, but also said some less troublesome problems after eating together. For example, compared with the rapid economic development in recent years, Xiangjiang's higher education is slightly backward. There are only two universities, and the proportion of middle school graduates entering universities is about 1%, It is increasingly unable to meet the needs of high-level talents for the economic development of Xiangjiang.
As for the solution, it is naturally much simpler and clearer. Just increase investment. Gao Xian made it clear that if Sir Youde wants to do something in Xiangjiang higher education, Gao's consortium is willing to donate real money and silver to support it.
In this way, Youde and Gao Xian had a good conversation. Until his assistant reported to Gao Xian that No. 10 Downing Street had all the translators and consultants, sir Gao "reluctantly" got up and left.
Youde said sincerely, "next, I have to rely more on Sir Gao."
Gao Xian said "I don't deserve it. I deserve to work", but he was funny in his heart. What he wanted was that you relied on me to avoid "pulling off the frame" at any time.
It is estimated that over the past 100 years, Jardine has experienced so many Hong Kong governors that it has lost its freshness. It is too routine to wait for Youde's inauguration in Xiangjiang step by step. How can it be more sincere than visiting Youde who has not yet taken office?
