While they were busy, the Hong Kong government had an episode. Governor MacLehose had a sudden stroke during his vacation at Fanling villa. Fortunately, the degree was mild. He could recover and be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Perhaps the most influential place was the time when he officially stepped down from office. He had to wait for a multi-star period in the future, that is, early May.

The health status of governor MacLehose is not as good as before. Just last year, he returned to Britain for a minor operation. In addition, it is the fourth extension of his term of office, and his work enthusiasm has faded. Even London feels that, so the candidate to succeed governor MacLehose was finally determined at the end of last year. Next, a senior British diplomat familiar with Chinese Affairs, From 1974 to 1978, Youde, British ambassador to China, served as the 26th governor of Xiangjiang.

At present, Youde is still receiving pre job training in the UK. If Mai Lihao really hangs up, Xiangjiang will be very busy.

Gao Xian is sure to visit governor Mai Lihao, but this kind of visit should not disturb the patient's rest. Therefore, Gao Xian caught the bus of Xia Dingji, Chief Secretary of the Hong Kong government.

Seeing that governor McLehose was all right, Xia Dingji was obviously relieved. You know, he is the No. 2 figure in the Hong Kong government. If MacLehose hangs up, all the troubles out of thin air will fall on him.

After coming out of the ward, Xia Dingji couldn't help sighing, "fortunately, the governor's constitution is not a big problem. There's no need to make a big fight in the handover process of the governor of Hong Kong. Just postpone it a little."

Gao Xian fully echoed his kung fu: "as long as Du Xian is here, we will have a backbone, even if it's hard during this period."

Xia Dingji nodded, "that's true. Don't disturb governor Xian in the daily work of Zhengfu."

At this point, Xia Dingji hesitated, "however, other affairs are a little troublesome..."

Gao Xian understands Xia Dingji's concerns. The current Hong Kong government is actually on the occasion of the handover of two Hong Kong governors, and Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao can't work too hard. Therefore, if Xia Dingji decides on behalf of Xia Dingji on matters other than the daily work of the government, it is difficult to avoid disputes, and even cause the dissatisfaction of the next Hong Kong Governor Youde.

"Otherwise, for a long time, the supreme executive power of the government has been the governor in Council. Now that the chief secretary is actually acting as the governor, we will discuss matters that are not easy to make decisions under the framework of the governor in Council, and the decisions we make will naturally be more secure," Gao Xian suggested.

"That's all we have to do." Xia Dingji was said to his heart, "then call the members of the Executive Council as soon as possible for a meeting."

……

Soon, the chief non-governmental councillor of the Executive Council, Zhong Shiyuan, convened the meeting and began to discuss what Xia Dingji could not decide. For example, BOC applied to the Hong Kong government for a piece of land in central for the construction of a new headquarters.

Land resources in central are becoming increasingly scarce. As long as there is no reclamation, it can be regarded as one of the few. The largest new central land king was auctioned by Jardine Matheson two months ago. The solution given by the Hong Kong government is to move away from the original barracks Meili building and vacate about 6700 square meters, which is equivalent to half the area of the new central land King obtained by Jardine Matheson, Build a new headquarters building for BOC.

Although the Hong Kong government certainly wants to sell the favor of BOC, it is worth pondering at what price to hand over the land to BOC. After all, this is the land in central. Just not going through the bidding process will make many people feel sour. Otherwise, Xia Dingji will not be difficult to take this matter to the meeting for discussion.

No one here lacks insight. Whether they speak or not, they all admit the fact that as a Chinese funded financial hub of Xiangjiang, the Bank of China can build a headquarters building in central, which is of great benefit to Xiangjiang itself. It should be a beauty of people, not to mention the consideration of governance.

But when Xia Dingji carefully mentioned that the land of Murray Building was priced at $1 billion and granted to the Bank of China, Niu Bijian, the Chief Secretary of Jardine, couldn't help but say, "Chief Secretary, do you know the grand bidding of the new central land king two months ago? It was only $1 billion. The meaning of flattery is too obvious!"

After Niu Bijian became sour, other members of Parliament representing the interests of British capital also agreed to the effect that the Bank of China wanted the land in central to build the headquarters building, which was given by the Hong Kong government. However, if the Bank of China could not afford the market price, it could only blame its own poor strength, and a large number of consortia were waiting for the land.

Such a commotion made Xia Dingji a little embarrassed. After all, he was not the real governor of Hong Kong. Only the governor of Hong Kong could regard the executive power mechanism of the governor in Council as a decoration when he was more serious.

Gao Xian appropriately relieved Xia Dingji and said, "when you are jealous, have you ever deeply understood the land of Meili building?"

Without waiting for these guys to answer, Gao Xian continued: "as far as I know, during the occupation of Xiangjiang, Meili building was used as the military police headquarters by the Japanese army, and there were many prisoner rooms in it, and even used as a execution ground. More than 4000 people were killed."

"After the end of the Second World War, the Murray Building was successively used as an office by many government departments, but since then, the Murray Building has also become a fierce place and has been rumored to be haunted for many times."

"Therefore, about 20 years ago, a legal ceremony was held in Meili building, but the staff working in it said that the effect was not good and was still troubled."

"In 1974, the transport department, which was working in the Murray Building at that time, invited about 70 monks to chant scriptures and burn incense for two hours."

"According to the market you said, the land price of Meili building is more than 2.5 billion, and some are robbed by consortia. Then you should find such a wronged head for me immediately!"

Sir Gao's loud words immediately shocked the scene.

Niu Bijian leaned back in his chair with an Ah Q expression. I know you haven't robbed Yihe in the new central earth king. You're angry. At this time, I'll take the opportunity to vent. I won't compete with you for a moment.

Other British interest spokesmen who made a fuss also kept silent, because for a while, they couldn't find the big head of injustice described by Gao Xian.

Shen Bi, the senior class of Huifeng bank, who has been watching from the wall, said: "well, sir Gao agrees. The land of Meili building is priced at one billion and granted to the Bank of China?"

Gao Xian, who indeed promised to help BOC activities, did not want to do things too obviously. After glancing at Xia Dingji, he replied: "I have the same idea as the chief secretary. We first discuss a plan and then hand it over to the new governor for decision. I think everyone would like to see that this favor is given by the new governor."

Shen Bi nodded and said, "this is also appropriate."

……

After the meeting, when Xia Dingji and Gao Xian were alone, they complained predictably: "I knew that some people's pattern was staring at the one in front of them."

Gao Xian comforted: "it's up to the new governor to make a decision. Naturally, there will be no noise at that time."

After he separated from Xia Dingji, Gao Xian contacted Huo Yingdong and talked about the latest progress in the land of BOC headquarters building.

"Now it's really impossible to find another qualified central headquarters building like Murray Building." Huo Yingdong pondered: "the British mean that it's no problem to grant BOC land, but they should also kill BOC severely."

Gao Xian laughed. "They are too wishful thinking. Now the downward trend of Xiangjiang real estate market is very obvious. They don't want to kill them. Moreover, I also thought of a way to hold down the land price."

Huo Yingdong asked curiously, "what's Sir Gao's skill?"

Gao Xian didn't sell off, and directly replied: "from the perspective of Feng Shui, Meili building is really a fierce place. I think it's necessary to refer to it. Making a ghost film will be very popular with the public."

Huo Yingdong laughed and said, "Sir Gao's idea is really unrestrained, but only Sir Gao can have enough matching resources."

……

Gao Xian can really mobilize a lot of resources at his disposal to support his idea. Soon, Hong Jinbao was called over.

"It's said that you are preparing to make a horror film called frightening people." Gao Xian said straight: "stop for a moment and help me make a film of the same type first."

Hong Jinbao asked sadly, "Sir Gao, do you have a story frame?"

Gao Xian handed over a document, which recorded two film theme examples in the "old script" a few years later, "ghost capture" and "fierce Ghost Building", "you can refer to it, you don't need to copy it all, the key is to everyone, naturally think that the place of Murray building is haunted!"

"The purpose of Sir Gao's investment in the film is really strange." Hong Jinbao, who muttered in his heart, not only knew the outline of the two stories, but also brightened his eyes. "This theme has a head. Don't you know Sir Gao has time requirements?"

"In two months, the film will be released in the summer vacation at the latest." Gao Xian said: "don't worry, money is not a problem. Shanghua culture will give you a shooting budget of $5 million first. If it's not enough, you can add it."

"Five million is a lot. It's so stressful!" Hong Jinbao scratched his head. In addition to the tight time, he didn't know whether he could achieve Sir Gao's special purpose.

However, Hong Jinbao, who was in the high production period of films at this time, promised to win only after a little calculation.
