Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Chapter 186 The MacLehose Era is Coming

"Boss, the new Governor of Hong Kong has been confirmed!"

Zhang Weiguo looked at Lin Qing, whose forehead was slightly sweaty due to her quick pace, and said with a smile, "McLehose?"

"Boss, how did you know?" Lin Qing was puzzled. Did someone tell the boss about this in advance, or did the boss know about it a long time ago?

That’s not right. If the boss had known about it a long time ago, he would have told me.

After all, as Zhang Weiguo's personal secretary, he also knew about the transaction between the Flower Group and the current Governor of Hong Kong.

It’s nothing more than me giving you the money you want, and you giving me the stable environment you need.

After all, by spending a little money, you can get some high-quality real estate from the Hong Kong government, which is not a loss no matter how you look at it.

Regarding the last auction of Kowloon Dockyard, although there was support from legislators from the British Empire, it also relied on the support of the current Governor of Hong Kong Island.

After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

Now the new governor of Hong Kong is about to take office. If the boss knew about it in advance, shouldn't he inform himself to prepare in advance? A new emperor chooses new ministers. Who knows what the new governor's attitude towards the Flower Planting Group is.

Although the current flower-growing groups are not afraid of suppression from the Hong Kong government, why should they make themselves unhappy when they can make money safely?

As a time traveler, Zhang Weiguo already knew who this Governor of Hong Kong was.

As a great man who ended the 500 million detective, Zhang Weiguo had been seen on the small broken station many times in his previous life.

麦理浩在1917年10月16日到1983年5月27日期间,任职港岛第25任总督。作为一个续任3次,任期长达10年多的港督,麦理浩对港岛的发展有着不可磨灭的贡献。

In 71, the whole of Hong Kong Island was plagued by corruption. From the current Governor to the lowest-level police officers, there were few who were not corrupt.

Not long after taking office, MacLehose discovered this situation. In 1973, he began to prepare for the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which was specifically responsible for anti-corruption work.

It also laid a good foundation for the subsequent rapid development of Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, the 1970s was also a time when the population of Hong Kong Island increased rapidly, and MacLehose introduced a series of measures to alleviate the population problem.

These include the "Ten-Year Housing Plan" implemented in 1973, the new town development policy established in 1979 and the construction of a subway for Hong Kong Island.

In the mid-70s, MacLehose launched the "Home Ownership Scheme". In the same year, he implemented a nine-year free education policy, requiring children aged 6 to 15 to receive education.

As the first Governor to visit the Forbidden City, in early 1979, the two sides discussed the future of the New Territories after the expiration of the lease agreement, laying the foundation for the return of Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, although MacLehose, a former diplomat, lacked local administrative management experience, he was recognized by the people of Hong Kong as one of the most outstanding and beloved governors in the history of Hong Kong Island. Many newspapers at that time referred to MacLehose's tenure as the "MacLehose era". Even many years after MacLehose stepped down as governor, many Hong Kong people still missed the situation when MacLehose was in office.

It can be seen from this that it is not an exaggeration to call MacLehose one of the most awesome people in Hong Kong Island.

The reason why MacLehose was recognized by so many Hong Kong citizens was inseparable from the contributions he made during his tenure.

Internally, MacLehose implemented drastic reforms in every area, including education, housing, integrity, medical care, welfare, infrastructure, transportation, economy and society.

Externally, important policies such as nine years of free education, the ten-year housing plan, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the construction of the subway were also introduced during MacLehose's tenure, which brought about earth-shaking changes in the social environment of Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, it was during MacLehose's tenure that Chinese capital began to rise gradually.

If the people of Hong Kong Island were allowed to elect their most popular governor a few decades later, Murray MacLehose would be one of them.

Looking at Zhang Weiguo who had been lost in thought for a long time, Lin Qing couldn't help but be curious and spoke again.

"Boss, boss!"

Hearing Lin Qing's call, Zhang Weiguo stopped thinking and explained: "I heard it from a friend!"

Lin Qing rolled her eyes, this didn't sound true.

However, Zhang Weiguo was unwilling to tell the truth, and Lin Qing had no choice.

I had to ask the real question, "The boss trusts Hong Dao and he will take office at the end of this month. Should we inquire about it in advance to facilitate contact later?"

"No, wait until he takes office!"

After hearing what Zhang Weiguo said, Lin Qing had no choice but to give up.

At this time, Zhang Weiguo said again: "By the way, notify the Flower Planting Military Industry to send another batch of goods to Li Jun. Here is the list."

Taking the order from Zhang Weiguo, Lin Qing said, "I understand, boss."

……

……

In the evening, as soon as Zhang Weiguo returned home, he couldn't help but pick up the feather duster on the table.

"Zhang Rongyao, if I don't beat your ass to pieces today, I'll call you daddy."

Zhang Weiguo looked at the copper coins in Zhang Rongyao's hand and was furious.

"Grandma, grandma, help! Dad is going to hit me!"

When Zhang Rongyao saw Zhang Weiguo’s left hand holding the feather duster, he ran to the kitchen.

In this family, only grandpa and grandma can subdue dad. Mom and Sofia’s mom are both noobs, the strongest king.

"Zhang Weiguo, if you dare to touch my grandson, just try!" Zhang's mother snatched the feather duster from Zhang Weiguo's hand and hit him back.

Looking at Zhang Rongyao making a face behind Zhang's mother, Zhang Weiguo became even angrier.

He said, "Mom, do you know what Rong Yao was doing just now?"

"I don't care. If you dare to hit my grandson, I will never let you go."

Zhang Weiguo saw this and then changed his approach and said, "Mom, if the treasure that Rongyao just broke was exchanged for food, it would be enough for all the people in Zhangjia Village to eat for 10 years."

"What!!!"
