Chapter 349 Just a clown jumping! [Fourth update]

"Find out who the person who wrote the article is, and find out who sent this newspaper!" After hearing Uncle Li's words, Ye Kai immediately gave instructions.

It may have been a bit over the instructions, but as the third-generation core of the leadership of the Old Ye family, he is also the deputy director of the Central Police Department, the major general of the Army, and the director of the Shengwang New District Management Committee, Ye Kai still has enough halos to support his prestige in the Old Ye family and even the entire senior management.

You must know that not long ago, Uncle Li was just a major general.

"Yes, I have arranged this matter." Uncle Li also responded seriously.

Mr. Ye suddenly fell ill, and the second old man also visited several countries in South America to conduct military cooperation exchanges. He will definitely not be able to come back for the time being. As the secretary of the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee, Ye Ziping, a member of the Americans, came another economic and trade delegation. He must receive it, and he will definitely not be able to come back soon. Uncle Ye Zijian and second uncle Ye Zichu are even more in military positions and cannot move easily, so in this way, no one in the center of the old Ye family is in charge.

This is also the main reason why Uncle Li urgently called Ye Kai back to China. After all, although Ye Jianhuan is the leader in the third generation, Ye Kai still has to make the decision to do things.

Sure enough, Ye Kai lived up to his expectations and began to instruct people to investigate the cause of the matter as soon as he came back.

It is definitely not a trivial matter for articles that slander the Prime Minister to appear in newspapers, and this newspaper can also appear under Mr. Ye's nose, which seems very strange, and there must be a reason for this.

The situation in China is very particular. Generally speaking, it is important to report good news and not bad news. Such inappropriate articles will not appear in front of leaders at the highest level, let alone "coincidentally" for Mr. Ye to see.

This matter must be done, but what Ye Kai cares most about now is Mr. Ye himself. I don’t know what his situation is?

Ye Kai went to Russia and Ukraine, and left for a month. Ye Kai really didn't care enough about domestic affairs, so he didn't know much about Hong Kong Island, and he didn't know what happened to his second uncle.

"The affairs of your second uncle should have something to do with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, but it doesn't matter, it's just a little frustrating." Uncle Li was a little clearer about this and handed over a newspaper to Ye Kai. "It's the matter on Hong Kong Island that really made the old man angry. In fact, not only the old man got angry, but the big guys were very angry. That foreign devil was very brave!"

"Peng Dingkang!" Ye Kai opened the newspaper and saw a white and fat face of a standard British man.

In the later era of Ye Kai, many people were not familiar with Patten, but most of the people who had experienced this stage had an impression, because this person served as the governor of Hong Kong, just like Ye Kai went to the river to develop, they were all going to disrupt the situation.

Patten was a talented student at Oxford University, majoring in modern history and studying in the United States. Patten was only 30 years old and was appointed as the director of the Conservative Research Department of the UK. Later, many of the campaign declarations for the 1979 election were written by him.

In November 1990, Major took over Mrs. Thatcher as prime minister and received strong help from him. Moreover, Major and Patten had a good relationship, so after he took office, he immediately appointed Patten as the president of the Duke of Lancaster and chairman of the Conservative Party. Under Patten's planning, the Conservative Party was able to unexpectedly win the 1992 British general election.

But ironically, Patten himself was defeated by the Liberal Democratic candidate and lost the seat of the House of Commons in the Bath constituency, thus withdrawing from the House of Commons.

Major later stated that if Patten could keep the seat, he would have the opportunity to serve as Minister of Finance or Foreign Minister.

However, out of compensation for Patten, under Major's arrangement, Patten officially became the 28th Hong Kong Governor on July 9, 1992.

In 1992, 48-year-old Patten was sent to Hong Kong Island to serve as the last governor.

During the last five years on Hong Kong Island, Patten had many troubles, which caused the Hong Kong, which could have had a smooth transition, caused sudden setbacks. At that time, some people said that Patten was the "disruptor" sent by the British government to Hong Kong.

Shortly after taking office, Patten fell into a bad relationship with the mainland. He said that he would soon reform the electoral system of the Legislative Council. In addition to the separation of the two bureaus and the abolishment of all appointed seats, he would also add nine functional group seats (new nine groups) so that all working people are eligible to vote (in disguisedly make these nine seats a direct election seat) to accelerate the pace of democracy in Hong Kong Island.

However, the mainland immediately expressed great dissatisfaction, pointing out that the reform had not consulted the central government's opinions, and declared that the relevant reforms would be abolished after the transfer of sovereignty from Hong Kong Island.

Patten ignored the attitude of the mainland and insisted on his own initiative, and was very aware of being stubborn and hard, which made the top leaders very angry.

Ye Kai looked at the newspaper at this time and found that the mainland media almost rebuked Patten for being a "venomous snake", "thief", "prostitute" and "the last tango" for the democratic faction. The mainland representatives in Hong Kong even scolded Patten for being a "eternal sinner."

In addition to reforming the Legislative Council election, Patten's first policy address during his tenure proposed to implement a controversial strategic pollutant discharge plan, namely the predecessor of the harbor purification plan.

The strategic sewage discharge plan was originally planned to collect the local sewage at Angchuanzhou for central treatment, and then discharge it out of the sea with deep-sea pipelines. The project was originally scheduled to be completed in April 1997, but it was delayed due to technical problems and unfinished contractors. The first phase of the project was not launched until 1997. The first phase of the project was completed in 2001, and the government spent as much as 8.3 billion yuan. Due to the criticism of the waste of money and unnecessary, the second phase of the project was announced to be suspended in October 1999.

In order to implement the strategic pollution discharge plan, the Legislative Council issued a allocation of 6.8 billion yuan in fiscal reserves in 1994 to establish a sewage treatment operation fund, and planned to collect pollution discharge fees from industry and commerce to pay for the second phase of the project. However, two years after the implementation, the operating fund had lost 5 billion yuan. The government had no choice but to end the fund on March 31, 1998 and subsidized it by the government.

Another thing that mainlanders are dissatisfied with Patten is the "Rose Garden Plan".

The only civilian Kaite Airport in Hong Kong was no longer suitable for use in the 1970s. Later, due to future problems, the problem of the new airport has not been launched.

In his policy address, the former Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin decided to build a new airport in order to revitalize the confidence of Hong Kong people. According to the core plan for Hong Kong Island Airport formulated by Wei Yixin in his policy address, a large-scale land reclamation will be carried out in Chi Kok north of Lantau Island to build an international-level large new airport. The new airport has two runways, which can operate 24 hours a day and can accommodate 80 million passengers each year, which is three times the capacity limit of Kai Tak Airport.

On the other hand, in order to make supporting facilities, Wei Yixin decided to build a highway, a bridge, a west-district undersea tunnel and an airport railway connecting the airport and the city. While building the airport railway, it also reclaimed land on the west side of the Kowloon Peninsula and Tsing Yi, and built the No. 8 and No. 9 container terminals, further expanding the port's throughput by five times.

In order to facilitate the provision of services to the new airport, Wei Yixin also decided to open a new town in Tung Chung near Chikaku, with plans to accommodate at least 150,000 people.

In short, this project is unprecedented in the history of Hong Kong Island. This core project of Hong Kong Island Airport is collectively called the Rose Garden Project, which means that the prospects of the project will be as beautiful as the Rose Garden.

At that time, Wei Yixin estimated that the entire plan would consume HK$127 billion and the first runway was opened in early 1997. Since Wei Yixin fully stabilized the people's hearts when launching the plan, he did not consult with the Chinese side, which resulted in a sensation.

In addition to the issue of direct elections in the 88th, the issue of Vietnamese boatmen, and the plan to live in the UK, the mainland and the British government were dissatisfied with Wei Yixin, which led to his failure to be re-elected as governor of Hong Kong.

When Patten took office, he expressed his support for the Rose Garden plan. The mainland expressed his disagreement and asked about the cost budget of the Hong Kong and British government plan at that time, but the other party did not provide specific numbers. Later, he asked the British government how much money it would leave for the SAR government in the future. The British answer was 5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

"How can 5 billion yuan be enough to support the establishment of the SAR government? What if there is a risk?" Uncle Li was also very annoyed when he mentioned this.

It was because of this that Mr. Ye had a headache and anger, and then became very angry, and finally got sick.

"It turns out that it's mainly for this matter..." After Ye Kai read these materials, he probably had some concepts in his mind.

He was quite clear about this history, because at that time, he had to catch Patten and curse him almost every few days in China. Patten was also the only governor who had not been invited by the central government to visit.

However, Ye Kai also remembers it very clearly. Later, with China's insistence, when the SAR government was established, the Hong Kong and British government left the reserves for the SAR government with more than 200 billion yuan, plus the land reserve fund of 197.1 billion yuan held by the Chinese personnel, totaling more than 400 billion yuan.

It can be said that without this more than 400 billion yuan, it would be impossible for the SAR government to enter the market in 1998 to withstand the crazy speculative actions of financial tycoons such as Soros.

At that time, the British were trying to cut off the firewood when they were about Hong Kong Island. No wonder Mr. Ye was so angry.

"This matter is unhurried, and the British have many problems that are difficult to deal with. Just talk about it slowly." Ye Kai said after thinking about it, "The struggle between countries has always been the first priority, and cooperation and confrontation are intertwined. If you want to finalize the matter in one go, that is a sign of immaturity. As for Patten, he is a high-minded person, but he is just a clown! Is it that easy for him to hollow out the foundation that has been saved by Hong Kong Island for many years?!"

Uncle Li looked at Ye Kai with a confident look on his face and suddenly felt that Ye Kai had the charm of the head of the family now.
