The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

After the two British guys left, Zhou Hexuan warmly greeted Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe, and said with a smile: "You are all classmates of Wei Lie, don't be restrained, just like returning to your own home. I will live at home these days, After the port is open to navigation, I will ask someone to buy a boat ticket for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe said quickly.

It's a pity that Zhou Hexuan doesn't know much about mathematicians. He doesn't know that these two young people are future masters.

Zhong Kailai will choose to stay in the United States and serve as the dean of the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University until his retirement. He is recognized as the academic godfather of probability in the second half of the 20th century. He was a physics student at first, and he felt that everything Wu Youxun taught was in the books, so he read books and skipped classes. After being caught and scolded by Wu Youxun, Zhong Kailai was worried that he would not be able to get along in the physics department, so he decisively transferred to the mathematics department.

Min Sihe chose to return to the motherland. He is a devout Christian, so it is inconvenient to elaborate on some things, as long as he is known as Chen Jingrun's mentor.

Since the villa had been left unused for many years and many places were severely damaged, Zhou Hexuan could only ask the servants to tidy up several rooms urgently, barely enough for everyone to live and rest. It is even difficult to drink water here, people are sent to buy water from the bottom of the mountain and take the cable car up, and cooking has to be done with firewood. And because of the difficulty in transporting materials, the repair cost of this villa can almost be used to repair another one at the foot of the mountain.

But Zhou Hexuan still bought it without hesitation, for no other reason, just because it is very cool in summer here. When he chose to build a villa on the top of the mountain, the real idea of ​​the Hong Kong governor was to avoid the summer heat...

As for standing on the balcony of your own home, you can enjoy the scenery of most of Hong Kong Island, which is a side effect that is not considered.

The most useless thing is the pretentious attribute. In a few years, even if you have money, you can't even think about buying a house on Victoria Peak. The rich can only get together to buy houses on the hillside, the so-called "mid-mountain villas". In the future, Hong Kong's supermen, jazz, and tycoons will all live under Zhou Hexuan's feet.

At night, Zhong Kailai and Min Sihe both fell asleep, and Zhou Weilie came to his father's room. He didn't have the impulse during the day, but asked with endless doubts: "Father, is it because China's national strength is too weak that China can't take back Hong Kong?"

"No," Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said, "If the Nationalist government were tougher and sent troops across the New Territories before the British warships arrived in Hong Kong, most of the Japanese garrison would not dare to take the initiative to shoot. This would create the established fact that China has taken back Hong Kong. The UK would never dare to start a war rashly, they can only hold their noses and admit it."

"Really?" Zhou Weilie asked in surprise.

Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: "That's true. Because the foreign policy of the British Labor Party government is extremely weak. As long as the Chinese army occupies Hong Kong in advance, they will at most issue a diplomatic note to quarrel. In order to weaken Britain's power in the Far East, the United States will inevitably choose to support it. China took back Hong Kong. But the national government had too many scruples. They were scruples about the situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at home, and the international diplomatic situation between Britain and the United States. They were even more afraid of twists and turns before Japan formally signed the instrument of surrender. So the British government forced the President of the United States to express his position. Truman sent a telegram Let the Chinese troops stop advancing."

"In that case, why didn't you persuade Chairman Jiang?" Zhou Weilie asked.

Zhou Hexuan said depressedly: "I wrote a letter to persuade, but it didn't work. I also suggested that Chairman Jiang send warships to take over the Ryukyu Islands. Now there is no news at all. Chairman Jiang is not paying attention to this right now. He only cares about the fall of the Ryukyu Islands." The area’s reception problem, thinking about how to compete with the Communist Party for the world.”

Zhou Weilie said angrily: "Then throw Hong Kong to the British for nothing?"

"Chairman Jiang, he is a relatively narrow nationalist, he must have patriotism," Zhou Hexuan said, "I guess he definitely wants to take back Hong Kong and Macau, but he must wait until Japan formally signs the instrument of surrender. , by intrigue and diplomacy to take it back."

Zhou Weilie asked: "Can it be taken back by diplomatic means?"

"Certainly not," Zhou Hexuan said, "The best opportunity has already been missed. If China wants to take back Hong Kong, it must forcibly send troops to take it back before the British warships arrive in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a big piece of fat, and the hungry wolf of the United Kingdom has already eaten it." How could you spit it out again?"

Historically, the national government really wanted to take back Hong Kong, and it also planned to take back Macau.

Hong Kong and Macao are integrated, and the British and Portuguese governments directly formed an alliance to oppose the acceptance of the national government. After Japan formally signed the instrument of surrender, the Nationalist Government immediately exerted force through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, secretly engaged in conspiracy, and even sent troops to blockade Macau.

But diplomacy is bound to be futile, and conspiracy and tricks are even more nonsense. Instead, the Portuguese took advantage of the contradiction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to set it up.

What Chiang lacked the most was a quick decision. The best time to regain Hong Kong was only a short month after Japan announced its surrender. But he missed it, thought too much, and had too many scruples.

Seeing that his son was having a hard time thinking about it, Zhou Hexuan comforted him: "Actually, maintaining the status quo in Hong Kong and Macau is not a bad thing."

"Is it still a good thing?" Zhou Weilie was confused.

Zhou Hexuan said: "You will know in a few years."

Why did Zhou Hexuan choose to stay in Hong Kong? Because Hong Kong is the best place to do things and live a small life.

In the next few decades, Hong Kong will be one of the places with the most spies in the world, which is called chaos. But this kind of chaos is the safest for Zhou Hexuan who has money and status. He can completely use the conflicts and connections of all parties to make things happen.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United Nations began to completely blockade China, and Hong Kong will become the only window to the outside world in southern China.

At that time, Zhou Hexuan can smuggle the supplies in short supply to Macau, and then transfer them from Macau to the mainland. Macau is actually the territory of the Communist Party. In the hands of Mr. He.

How did Mr. Huo from Hong Kong get started? It is to rely on smuggling goods to Macau, and directly obtain the mainland's river sand monopoly in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong must use the mainland's river sand if it wants to build infrastructure. For this reason, Mr. Huo is known as the "czar" of Hong Kong, and all real estate developers will act according to his face.

Zhou Hexuan doesn't want to be the tsar of Hong Kong, he just needs to have a good relationship with the mainland. Moreover, he is not afraid of offending the United Kingdom and the United States, because these two countries have too many conflicts that can be exploited, and they will only choose to turn a blind eye to smuggle goods to the mainland.

The land of Hong Kong is very interesting.

But first you have to build your own influence. The first step is to contact the Hongmen organization in Hong Kong, and the second step is to buy land and build a factory.

Before the war, Hong Kong had always relied on the shipping industry as its pillar, but after the British and the United States blocked the mainland, Hong Kong's shipping industry declined rapidly and was replaced by the rise of light industry. It was in the 1980s that Hong Kong became a financial capital. Because of the reform and opening up of the mainland, Hong Kong's light industry declined rapidly, and it could only transform into a financial city.

At most ten years, Zhou Hexuan has the confidence to become the "King of Hong Kong".
