Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 432 "431" Governor of Hong Kong: You are not allowed to read banned books! Guan Zu: The Governor of Hong Kong said this is a banned book, everyone hurry up and read it

Hong Kong Governor's Office.

“Bang~~~~”

“Is this the new Knowledge Cup book?”

Inside the mansion, there was an angry roar from Fat Peng.

Fat Peng threw "Anarchy: The East India Company" on the table, his face turned red and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"What is 'Anarchy: The East India Company'? It's complete nonsense!"

"This is a distortion of history and a blatant slander!"

He paced back and forth angrily, cursing non-stop.
"The East India Company promoted trade and exchange of civilizations. How could it be written like this?"

"This author has ulterior motives and wants to discredit the glorious history of the British Empire!"

What the hell?

"Traitor, this is a traitor to the Empire!"

Fat Peng started talking and cursing again.

He stopped abruptly, pointed at the book "The East India Company", and continued to roar: "Everything in the book, such as plunder and colonization, is exaggerated!"

"The East India Company's actions in India were to help local development and bring them advanced technology and systems. Without the East India Company, India would have struggled in backwardness for who knows how long!"

Well, at least that's what many British people think.

Yes, I did plunder, but you also gained a lot of benefits, didn’t you?
Otherwise you would still be a backward country!
This is the British view on colonies: I did colonize, but without us colonizing, your land would be backward and poor. Therefore, our merits outweigh our faults!
The logic is clear!
Fat Peng was furious:
"Who is the author of this? Is it someone from the University of Tokyo who wrote it?"

“Is this a conspiracy by the University of East China?”

He glared at the secretary.

The secretary quickly said, "This book was written by someone from our country."

Fat Peng: “???”

It is worth mentioning that the author's works are not mechanical, and are often rich in historical materials, which is his style. In "Anarchy: The Rise of the East India Company", he used a large number of archives of the East India Company in the British Library, materials from the National Archives of India, and Persian history books.

Fat Peng kept roaring,

He picked up The Rise of Great Powers and his tone softened a little:
"The book 'The Rise of Great Powers' is still acceptable. At least it gives a relatively objective description of the development process of other great powers."

"But look at Anarchy: The East India Company. It is completely misleading and a malicious slander of our British Empire!"

"I will never allow such a book to circulate in Hong Kong Island. Measures must be taken!"

The secretary said weakly: "Then...what should we do?"

Fei Peng: "What should we do? We should stop Guan Zu immediately and tell him not to sell this book anymore!"

Secretary: "But... Guan Zu has already delivered many, many books to every household in Hong Kong."

Fat Peng: "Ah? Selling so fast?"

Secretary: “He gave it to me as a gift.”

Fat Peng: "Give it away? Is he crazy? These are all for sale!"

Secretary: "I checked, he gave all the previous Knowledge Cup books directly to us!"

Fei Peng gasped.

fuck! !
Is this Guan Zu a pervert?

Fei Peng looked at the book Anarchy and the East India Company on the table. This anti-book was a disaster. "Can it be withdrawn?"

Secretary: "I'm afraid it's difficult. All of them are in the hands of citizens. If we mobilize a large force to collect them, it will probably cause discussion among the citizens."

Fat Peng looked unhappy and scolded his secretary: "Why didn't you find out earlier? Didn't I ask you to follow up on this matter? Why didn't you find this book first?"

The secretary lowered his head.

In this matter, he was indeed wrong as he did not read the book himself, which led to a large number of copies being given away.

"I have a way to compensate for this," the secretary suggested.

Fat Peng: “Speak!”

Secretary: "Request Guan Zu not to use the knowledge in this book as test questions for the Knowledge Cup and Millionaire. This will reduce the amount of reading for citizens."

Fat Peng: “…”

This method is as bad as stinking dog shit.

But unfortunately, I don’t have a better way.

Fei Peng: "Go call Guan Zu!"

The secretary bowed his head: "Yes!"

……

after an hour,

A black Chevrolet arrived at the gate of the Governor's House, and Guan Zu and Fang Ting got out.

Almost at the same time, the Chief Secretary's car also arrived at the Governor's House.

The two met together.

The Chief Secretary looked worried because Fei Peng had talked to him about work many times recently, and Fei Peng did not like the Chief Secretary's performance very much.

Sometimes leadership style is a very strange thing. You always like some people and hate some people.

Just like, Hood himself doesn't like Guan Zu.

When he saw Guan Zu, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Guan Zu: “???”

A scoff.

But thinking about Huo De's background, Guan Zu didn't blame him for disliking him.

Director Hood is 57 years old and has gray hair.

He used to be a soldier with a tough style. He came to Hong Kong at a time when there was a storm of suppression of the left, and was transferred to Hong Kong Island.

Even after 9, whenever there was a major political event in Hong Kong Island, Hood would "coincidentally" arrive in Hong Kong early and on time for various reasons, and then start to connect with important figures of opposition parties, "strategic lurkers", and bosses of opposition mouthpieces (Apple Daily and Next Magazine), presenting them with the "situation and tasks" in order to achieve the best effect of "setting up the game".

There have been many reports saying that Hood came from the Nth Military Intelligence Department.

Therefore, Guan Zu had no good feelings towards him at all.

The two men walked into the Governor's Mansion.

Then the secretary of the Governor of Hong Kong came out and said, "Mr. Hodder, please wait a moment. The Governor of Hong Kong wants to see Mr. Guan first."

Director Hood: “…………”

I was unhappy inside, but I didn't dare to express any objection on the surface.

...

study,

Fei Peng and Guan Zu drank coffee again.

Fei Peng picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Do you know what kind of coffee this is?"

Guan Zu shook his head: "I don't know."

Fat Peng: "It's latte, do you know where it comes from?"

Guan Zu: “I don’t know.”

Fatty Peng, is he going to talk to me about the art of language?
Fei Peng explained to Guan Zu: "In Italy, latte originally means milk. Originally, this coffee was simply coffee with milk. But later it spread to the United States, and people kept innovating and adding various flavored syrups to make it colorful..."

Guan Zu: “Yeah.”

Fat Peng: "This is just like the government we are in now, which also needs to be constantly injected with new vitality and new elements. You are young and promising, just like the unique flavored syrup. If you can join hands with us, you will surely make this land of Hong Kong shine with a different brilliance. The opportunities and achievements in the future are limitless..."

Guan Zu: "Uh-huh... Governor of Hong Kong, I, Guan Zu, also want to make progress." Fei Peng felt that this was strange.

"Let me get straight to the point... I am very dissatisfied with the publication of the book Anarchy and the East India Company today. This is a slander against our empire!"

"Ah? Governor, that's not right. This book is about the East India Company. What does it have to do with the Empire?"

"........."

Fei Peng was stuck all of a sudden.

fuck!

That makes sense, but...

Fei Peng slammed the table and said, "In short, no, it must not appear on the Knowledge Cup or Millionaire."

Guan Zu nodded: "I will definitely cooperate with the Governor's request. It will not appear in "Knowledge Cup" or "Millionaire".

Fat Peng was satisfied: "Okay."

After thinking for a while, he added: "From now on, you must get my permission when you print books."

Guan Zu frowned and said, "That's not right, Governor. According to the laws of Hong Kong Island, printing books is free. Unless you propose to amend this law and then let the Legislative Council pass it... I personally support the Governor's decision very much, and I will definitely vote in favor at the Legislative Council."

Governor, be loyal!
In fact, Guan Zu also had some considerations. There are so many banned books in Hong Kong.

Guan Zu didn't even dare to say the titles of those books.

This is also a disadvantage of the freedom to print books.

Guan Zu's words caused Fei Peng to think deeply.

"Change the law? Strengthen the supervision of books?"

I'm a little moved.

As long as supervision is strengthened, won’t Guan Zu be unable to print books even if he wants to?
Wait…there’s something wrong here!
Fei Peng thought about the reason why he came to Hong Kong Island—freedom! Freedom! Fucking freedom!

Only when they are free can they do whatever they want and do whatever they want in the future.

Therefore, this law cannot be changed!

Fei Peng glanced at Guan Zu: Fuck, this guy is so insidious!

Tired of heart!

Fat Peng: "Hahaha~~ Printing books is the freedom of Hong Kong citizens, there is no need to change it. Drink coffee, drink coffee..."

The two drank coffee again.

quickly,

Guan Zu left the Governor's House.

The Governor of Hong Kong summoned Secretary Hod and said, "I need you to do something..."

Hod: "Please speak, sir!"

The Governor's eyes were cold: "The current Commissioner of Police seems to have some relationship with Guan Zu. You can find an excuse to end his term and promote Deputy Commissioner Davis to be the Commissioner of Police."

Hodder puffed out his chest: "Yes, sir, I will do it as soon as possible!"

The Governor nodded.

What happened to the police in Causeway Bay made him realize that Kwan Cho had strong connections in the police force, so he wanted to find someone who did not get along with Kwan Cho to be the Commissioner.

All of Guan Zu’s relationships with the police force were disrupted.

I am the Governor of Hong Kong.

How could it be true that there was nothing we could do about Guan Zu?

……

……

ATV.

After leaving the Governor's House, Guan Zu came to ATV.

"Boss~~~"

Wen Huixin walked into the office.

Guan Zu: "Just now, I met with the Governor of Hong Kong, and he made a request to me."

Involving the Governor?
Wen Huixin suddenly became serious.

"In the past few days, Five Star Properties has distributed more than 170 million copies of The Rise of Great Powers and The East India Company to Hong Kong residents... These two books were originally used as the source of knowledge points for The Knowledge Cup and How to Become a Millionaire..."

"But the Governor of Hong Kong was very dissatisfied with The East India Company and felt it was slanderous, so he did not want it to appear on Knowledge Cup or Millionaire."

“The News Department needs to report this news.”

"what?"

Wen Huixin: "Isn't that right? Boss, if we report it, won't the citizens be more excited?"

Guan Zu said seriously: "Impossible, you have to believe in the quality of our citizens. If you tell them that it is forbidden to watch, they will definitely not watch it."

Wen Huixin: “???”

Banned books, that would definitely be more exciting.

How could the boss not know?
She looked at Guan Zu, her face serious and righteous...

Okay, got it!
Wen Huixin had a dark line on her forehead.

Guan Zu said at this time: "Besides, because this matter involves 580 million citizens, as well as the Knowledge Cup and Millionaire, it is very important and needs to be repeated in every news every day for a total of 3 days."

3 days? That is 9 times?
Wen Huixin now understood her boss's thoughts better.

Guan Zu added: "Since the Governor of Hong Kong has given such instructions, we must do our job well and "say one thing, think two, and do three"... Since the Governor of Hong Kong does not want others to read this book, we should add the word "banned book" in the wording."

Wen Huixin: “!!”

Good guy, I say good guy!
Boss, you are really cruel. Adding the words "banned book" makes the citizens even more excited.

Forbidden pleasure!
Then, Wen Huixin thought of another layer: This is the boss arm wrestling with the Governor of Hong Kong!

Outrageous!

At the same time, Wen Huixin felt extremely excited: It’s so great to have such a boss!

Wen Huixin: "Yes, boss, I understand!"

Guan Zu: “Do you really understand?”

Wen Huixin: "I really understand. I think 3 days is not enough, 5 days is needed! After all, this is a problem that concerns all citizens of Hong Kong. What if they study hard for a month to participate in the Knowledge Cup, and then we tell them that the Knowledge Cup does not test this, wouldn't it be a waste of their time?"

Wen Huixin is full of justice:
"If one citizen wastes one month, then wouldn't 700 million citizens waste 700 million months? That's equivalent to wasting 58 years! How meaningful it would be if this time was used for things that benefit mankind!"

She also elevated the theme!
Cow!

……

Soon, 19:00, ATV News.

"Hello, audience friends! I am the host Wen Huixin..."

"Recently, Five Star Properties distributed more than 700 million copies of the two books, The Rise of Great Powers and The East India Company, to 170 million citizens on Hong Kong Island. They were originally intended to be the source of knowledge points for The Knowledge Cup and How to Become a Millionaire."

"But now things have changed. The Governor of Hong Kong has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the book 'East India Company', saying that the book contains a lot of distorted and slanderous content about the British Empire, so he listed the book as a banned book and believed that the knowledge points of 'Knowledge Cup' and 'Millionaire' are not allowed to use the content in the banned book 'East India Company'."

"Here, Five Star Group and ATV jointly issued a statement that we respect the wishes of the Governor of Hong Kong and that the Knowledge Cup and Millionaire will no longer be used..."

"At the same time, the Governor of Hong Kong also made it clear that citizens are not allowed to read this banned book!"

As soon as this news came out,
Hong Kong citizens: “???”

Governor: “!!!”
