British 1986

As Weidwei fell into deep thought, Allen did not speak, and just looked at the field in front of him. To be honest, Allen didn't like this kind of horse farm built in a busy city. After staying in Wales for a long time, he was even more interested in it. I like to be surrounded by green animals and plants as far as the eye can see, rather than a small green space like this in a big city.

"Sir, shall I try first?"

Wei Dewei believed in Allen, but he still needed some time to slowly accept some things, so what he said seemed a little guilty.

“Then let’s try it”

Allen looked at Wei Dewei, patted him on the shoulder and stood up, then comforted him: "Don't worry, I haven't left yet. If you can't make up your mind about anything, you can come to me to discuss it."

"good!"

This sentence is much more reliable than the guesses just now. Wei Dewei also stood up. No one is sure what the future will be like, but he is very sure about what Allen will be like.

"Sir, let's go. I know you like to eat Chinese food. There will be a special private room at the Royal Horse here. Chinese food is very famous. Let's go and taste it?"

"Oh? Haha. I'm interested, but"

Allen walked to the fence of the viewing platform, glanced at the only remaining horse in the distance, then turned to look at Weidewei and said: "The game hasn't started yet, let him start."

"."

Wei Dewei twitched his face, waved behind him, called his assistant, and then whispered a few words.

The two of them just stood by the stands, watching the rider look confused as there were no competitors around, and then...

Running bumpily to the finish line, neither the horse nor the rider seemed particularly excited.

Looking at the riders on their horses slowly decelerating in the field, Allen motioned to Wei Dewei to talk as he walked.

"Look, if there is no competitor, do you win?"

"yes"

Wei Dewei couldn't complain. If everyone used this trick, everyone would win. This was so shameless.

"Haha. Do you think my method is a bit dirty? Look at the rider and the horse again to see if they are any different from their normal state after the competition?"

"oh?"

Weidwei only thought about Allen using such an arrangement to win the race, and then "prove" to him the accuracy of his prediction of future trends, but now when Allen talked about the status of the rider and horse, Weidwei still thought I really haven’t observed it carefully. Normal people watch the game only for the speed. As for the end of the game.

Who cares about the condition of the rider and horse?

But now Wei Dewei stared at the rider carefully. Without a competitor, the horse itself was not excited, and the rider did not show his full strength. This pair only managed to run on the track with standard movements. Once, the results were weak and uncompetitive, so both humans and horses were not excited.

Is this normal?

Wei Dewei looked at Allen with slightly doubtful eyes.

"Playing behind closed doors, just like now, there are no competitors, only him running. In a short period of time, it is actually easy to get results, but when he gets the results, he is not excited, and he has flaws in his heart, because He has no competitors, so they want to find more opponents or friends, but we don’t need to care about these, you just need to care a little.”

Allen pointed to the horse and waved to attract the attention of its rider.

The rider actually knew that a big shot was going to watch them compete today. As for why everyone else suddenly left when the competition was approaching, he only made such a weird request to let him run by himself. He didn't know why.

Now seeing the big man waving to him, the rider quickly pinched the horse's belly and came towards Allen.

As he got closer, he could see clearly that one of the two people above was the governor of Hong Kong who had not yet resigned, and the other was the aristocratic earl from Great Britain who was reported on the news last night. .

Seeing the count giving him a thumbs up, the rider instantly became excited. Being praised by such a big man, although it was not verbal, just a simple gesture, was enough for him to brag to his friends for a long time!

The horse under his crotch seemed to have sensed the rider's emotions, and was obviously energetic. He neighed and raised his front hooves. The rider laughed twice when he saw the earl in the stands, and also gave the horse a thumbs up.

Wei Dewei remained silent and watched Allen's movements silently. After the rider walked away, he followed Allen to the private room without saying anything along the way.

It wasn't until the two of them sat in the private room that he asked Allen more doubtfully.

"Sir, you just praised the rider and he seemed to be more excited. Do you want me to understand what you mean?"

"Um."

Allen glanced at Wei Dewei with admiration.

"If they have no opponents for a long time, or for other reasons, after they slowly develop, they will lack a sense of identity, especially the lack of recognition from outsiders, which manifests itself like the rider just now. At this time, Outsiders need to identify with them in order to satisfy the sense of identity they need, and identity is this thing.”

"If you have a high status and a big reputation, they will definitely need your affirmation. If you have no status, then your affirmation is worse than a piece of shit. So, I just made a simple gesture to the rider, and he To get excited, as long as you have a high status, when you praise them in the future, the coverage you receive will be good, and when you do business, the treatment you receive will be good, do you understand?"

"!!!"

After Wei Dewei heard this, he felt enlightened instantly.

Isn’t this the same nature as certain things in Xiangjiang?

What people in Great Britain say is very useful, but some people in their local area are not very useful in what they say. If you want to become more powerful, you must not only be rich, but also famous, but no matter how big it is. The level of recognition is still not as good as that of foreigners.

"Thank you for telling me so much, I know what to do!"

Allen was able to talk to him so much. Although the process was a bit ink, this is how ordinary people in Britain usually talk. Wei Dewei had nothing to do with it, but he was very grateful to Allen.

"Ahaha, because of these little things of mine, I have delayed your dinner and the serving of food. Your Excellency, this private room is called the Slam Hall. This slam is their old coin. There is a hole in the middle that can be strung together with a thread. It is very convenient to carry and use, and a rope full of money is called a slam. They say that sitting in a private room with such a name to eat can bring good luck to people and can make your money on the rope. Fully clothed!”

"Hahaha, okay, we'll have all the money on the rope from now on!"

Allen took a look at the private room and thought about the name Wei Dewei explained to him in Chinese and English. It was quite interesting to think about it.

A few days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon on July 9, 1992.

Wei Dewei was in an official uniform, Alan was in a traditional aristocratic dress, Patten was in a dark blue suit, and Sir Hodder was also in a gray suit. They took the Governor's special yacht Lady Muline and set off from the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier. Start the process.

When I first arrived a few days ago, I arrived early to give Wei Dewei and Patten a pre-handover contact period.

After these few days of contact, the two met first, and Patten also had to settle his family members. This time, he not only brought his wife, but also his three daughters.

Today is the day when he officially takes office, the day when Wei Dewei hands over the governorship and Allen announces the appointment.

Faced with such a large-scale ceremony, all eyes in Hong Kong are focused here.

The entire Victoria Harbor was under martial law by the Royal Navy, with only two media boats left to follow and film in the distance.

Several patrol boats of the Royal Navy opened the way, and two fire boats followed on both sides of the Lady Murine.

The water jets sprayed from the two boats created a cross line above the yacht Lady Muline, which meant that the newly arrived Patten, that is, the new governor of the port and the Earl of Carmarthen from the mainland, were given the opportunity to cleanse themselves from the dust. .

After the two fire boats finished the dust-washing ceremony and drove away, Allen came to the upper deck of the yacht and prepared to watch the next performance.

The British Royal Air Force, with its outdated aircraft, slowly flew over their heads for inspection.

Allen suppressed a smile, this thing.

How can I put it, although the thing is broken, it gives people the feeling that although it is a small sparrow, it has all the internal organs. The sense of ritual is indeed very important sometimes!

When approaching Queen's Pier, a 17-gun salute was fired from the Royal Naval Base Tamar in Admiralty in the distance. Accompanied by the salute, the group landed on Xiangjiang Island.

When we get here, although Allen is the most noble person in the place, his official position is not

So he was accompanied by Sir Hodder, and the two walked at the side and rear, while Patten was accompanied by Justice Young to review the guard of honor.

Sir Hodder, who is following Allen, is currently the Chief Secretary, the chief secretary and adviser to the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and the highest government official in the Hong Kong region.

The main responsibility is to lead the officials below to better implement the governor's policies.

It is a very important position in the Xiangjiang area.

If we were to count them in terms of size, the Governor of Hong Kong must be number one, followed by Judge Yang, who accompanied Patten to inspect the guard of honor, also called the Chief Inspector, and third was the Chief Secretary. After him, he ranked third. The fourth person is the garrison commander, the next two are the corresponding clergy, and then they go to the Finance Department and the Department of Justice.

According to Wei Dewei, this guy's identity is not simple. He is not from his side. Moreover, since he took office in 1986, his hands and feet have not been clean. Some of the things he has done are not even clear to Wei Dewei, or Sometimes Wei Dewei was really in a hurry. When asked, he would just shirk the letter from China because he really couldn't shirk him.

Finally, a letter from the security department was placed on Wei Dewei's desk. It was from this letter that Wei Dewei learned that this guy's identity was not simple, and the letter did not say what he did. , just said that the Hong Kong Governor did not need to worry about it, and some of the things he handled were directly under the security department of London.

And the information Allen knew was limited to this, but Wei Dewei mentioned in the report he gave him that when he worked in the Information Agency, he seemed to have acquired the habit of being approachable and liked to contact Xiangjiang. Some local young people and outstanding elites often invite them to their homes for dinner.

This piece of information gave Allen some guesses about what Sir Hodder did, but...

Don't rush, take your time, these people are all people he has never come into contact with before, but these days he can come into contact with them whenever he wants!

As the military parade ended, the trip came to the last stop, the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall!

This is the best place to hold large-scale ceremonies and ceremonies. Patten's inauguration ceremony today was held in the concert hall.

With a two-story structure, the entire concert hall can accommodate more than a thousand participants, while the stage above can accommodate at least 60 people.

The current stage has a semi-curved conference table.

The leaders of all departments in Xiangjiang sat in a row facing all the participants below.

Allen sat on Patten's left hand side, and Sir Hodder sat on Allen's left hand side. Justice Yang was next to Patten. The two of them sat in the C seat in the middle. Wei Dewei, the little old man, sat on Yang's left hand side. To the right of the Justice.

The entire concert hall had not yet completely quieted down. Justice Yang looked at the media that had been prepared for filming in the audience, and lightly touched the microphone in front of him with his finger.

"Quiet! Welcome everyone to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new Hong Kong Governor today. Let's move on to the first item, the playing of the national anthem!"

Allen stood up expressionlessly, listening to "God Save the Queen" which he had listened to for the second time today. They had just played it together when they landed at Queen's Pier, and now they had to play it again.

When everyone stood up and played "God Save the Queen", the media areas on both sides of the stage were so flashy that people could hardly keep their eyes open.

On the stage at this time, sat some of the most powerful people in Hong Kong!

They may not be particularly wealthy, but they are the most powerful!

Among this group of people, the handsome young man with blond hair is undoubtedly the most special.

There is no way, among a group of old guys, this one is the tallest and the youngest-looking. He really stands out from the crowd and can't help but attract people's attention.

The media had already reported on this person two days ago, but...

Because of the nobility’s confidentiality policy, most of them only introduced Allen’s achievements. For example, he likes to make movies. This year’s new movie won an award in Berlin. He lives in Wales and is one of His Royal Highness’s most trusted advisors. class information.

After the national anthem was played, everyone sat down and Justice Yang continued to preside.

"Next, please invite the royal representatives, the Queen's Special Envoy, the Earl of Carmarthen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Chief of Guards, His Excellency Alan Hill, to read out the letter of appointment!"

"Hua Hua Hua"

The chair Alan had just sat on was not yet warm, so he had to stand up again.

He glanced coldly at the audience. Those sitting at the front of the first row, who were smiling the brightest and applauding, would involuntarily pause slightly whenever Allen's eyes caught his eyes. , the sound of applause became much smaller.

Although this guy is young, because of his status, coupled with Allen's fierce appearance, his aura is extremely strong. Although he hasn't said a word since he stood up, he turned to the stage with this cold look. In the next sweep, there was no need for Justice Yang to preside over the meeting. A group of local chickens and dogs were present, and the originally lively atmosphere soon became quiet again.

PS: It’s a headache to look up information. I even dug out Fatty Peng’s inauguration video and watched it several times. I’ll update it today to see if it’s safe or not to write like this.
