Reborn Capital Madman

Gao Xian accompanied the delegation from the Hong Kong business community to Beijing, reflecting his intention to keep a low profile and cautious attitude toward the trip.

However, judging from Gao Xian's current achievements, he can be regarded as a truly outstanding figure. After all, he cannot continue to act as a junior in the Xiangjiang industrial and commercial delegation, and it is impossible for the top leaders of Yanjing to really ignore him.

On September 29, Duke Deng specially called by name to meet Gao Xian.

Deng Gong had a magnificent life, including the legendary "Three Downs and Three Ups" experience, that is, he was knocked down three times and resumed his leadership work three times.

Currently, Deng Zhengyi is in the stage of being overthrown for the second time and resuming his leadership work for the second time.

Because Zhou Gong's condition worsened this year, Deng Gong acted as presiding over the daily work of the party and the government. He can be called China's great steward. In April this year, Deng Gong also attended the sixth special session of the United Nations General Assembly as the head of the Chinese delegation.

He also delivered a speech at the conference to clarify China’s proposition on establishing a new international economic order.

Although Gao Xian deliberately grew a beard to pretend to be mature, when Mr. Deng saw him, he still discovered his true age with piercing eyes, and praised: "I have long admired Mr. Gao's youth and promise, and when I saw him today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved.

"

Although Gao Xian was a little surprised to be greeted by Duke Deng, he was not surprised.

In terms of Gao Xian's business achievements, his Gaoxing Group has developed into a diversified first-class industrial group in Hong Kong. The results of trade exchanges with the mainland through the Canton Fair every year are definitely worthy of being included in Yanjing's list of key concerns.

Especially during the energy shortage crisis in Hong Kong caused by the international oil embargo last year, Gao Xian, who turned the tide, skillfully introduced Chinese petroleum products to the Hong Kong market.

This move is not just a simple transaction, it also contains considerable political significance.

From the perspective of social celebrities, Gao Xian is a justice of the peace in Hong Kong, a member of the Hong Kong Freemasons, a member of the Trilateral Committee, a director of the Hong Kong Cotton Textile Industry Association, a director of the Far East Exchange, a director of the Gold and Silver Stock Exchange, and a director of Hutchison.

Director of Wheelock, Director of Huifeng Bank and many other titles.

Speaking of official duties, Gao Xian is a Chinese member of the Hong Kong Government Executive Council, Vice Chairman of the Consumer Council, and Vice Chairman of the Trade Development Council.

With a card like Gao Xian's and a friendly relationship with the mainland, how could he not be actively united?

After listening to Deng Gong's praise, Gao Xian joked: "You are ridiculous. As some media said, I relied on the support of my father-in-law to develop."

Gao Xian's self-deprecation in a relaxed tone made Mr. Deng laugh, "Those are ignorant remarks. Mr. Gao started from a humble beginning, lived in a tenement building, started from scratch, and took advantage of the bull market in the Hong Kong stock market to acquire a milk company and repel a land company.

With the prominent position of Happy Group in Hong Kong today, it is the right time to set sail with the good wind and sail with strength."

These words of Mr. Deng were exactly the public impression that Gao Xian tried hard to create for himself. Now that they were spoken by a big man like Mr. Deng himself, they immediately made him feel as comfortable as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit.

"I didn't expect you to be my confidant." Gao Xian made a gesture of emotion, took out a note from his briefcase, and handed it to Mr. Deng with both hands. "This is what I have learned from my travels to some economically developed countries in the world in the past few years."

If you don’t dislike what I saw, heard, and understood, I would like to give it to you as a meeting gift and listen to your criticisms and corrections.”

Mr. Deng's eyes lit up and he happily took the note, "This meeting gift from Mr. Gao is not only unique, but also valuable. I like it so much."

"However, criticism and correction should not be taken seriously."

"Mr. Gao solved the energy shortage crisis in Hong Kong, stabilized prices, and ensured the daily necessities of the citizens of Hong Kong. His actions were decisive and sophisticated, which must be matched by his wealth of knowledge. I should study carefully this note that condenses Mr. Gao's hard work."

At this point in the conversation, Gao Xian and Deng Gong looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

…

Fast forward to September 30th, the 25th National Day reception was held grandly that night in the Great Hall of the People, with more than 4,500 attendees.

The majestic Antianmen Square is lit up with lights and the red flag is flying; the banquet hall of the Great Hall of the People is brightly lit; a huge portrait of the leader hangs in the middle of the rostrum of the banquet hall, with the Chinese flag on both sides of the portrait.

Attendees are organized according to party and state leaders, foreign dignitaries and friends, diplomatic envoys and embassy attachés of various countries stationed in China, heads of various departments of the party, government and military, representatives of workers, peasants and soldiers in the capital, advanced workers on all fronts, representatives from all walks of life, and overseas Chinese.

Seating with compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao and other categories.

Gao Xian was seated at the guest of honor seat, next to him were Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia and his wife, Zentaro Kosaka, head of the Japan-China General Aviation Friendship Delegation, Hisao Kuroda, head of the Japan-China Friendship Association delegation, Japan-China

The leader of the delegation of the Cultural Exchange Association is Nakajima Kenzo and his wife, Shirley Graham, the wife of the late famous American black scholar Du Bois, Shang Zhen, a second-level Army general during the Republic of China, and so on.

At about 7:30, the National Day reception officially started.

Duke Zhou, who had not appeared in public for some time due to illness, gave a toast amidst warm applause, "Dignified guests, friends, and comrades, twenty-five years ago, the Chinese people..."

Almost every time Duke Zhou finished speaking, there would be a burst of warm applause, mixed with the sentence "The Prime Minister's illness will soon be cured", which reached Gao Xian's ears.

Gao Xian looked around and saw many people with tears in their eyes.

This situation made Gao Xian feel sore in his nose.

This is by no means pretentious, but Gao Xian, who lives in this era, is deeply affected by the heavy history.

Gao Xian once saw a photo of him and Duke Zhou in the photos collected by his father-in-law Yi Mingzhe. In that picture, Duke Zhou was in his prime, but now, although Duke Zhou is still wearing the familiar dark Chinese tunic suit, he has been severely tortured by the disease.

haggard.

The world economic order is undergoing tremendous changes, and as the great men gradually leave, where will the giant ship of China sail?

Shortly after delivering the toast, Duke Zhou left and returned to the hospital.

In fact, although every National Day reception is held in the name of Duke Zhou, Chinese and foreign guests are invited to attend, but this year's situation is quite special. Because Duke Zhou's condition has deteriorated and he is very weak, even though people hope that he can attend this reception

The National Day reception is intended to unite people's hearts, but it cannot be determined in advance. The medical team can only decide based on Duke Zhou's health recovery. Judging from Duke Zhou's condition, this is likely to be the last time Duke Zhou attends the National Day celebrations.

Therefore, Gao Xian wondered whether he should pay a visit to Duke Zhou while he was still in good spirits and able to appear in public. After all, the opportunity was rare, and if he missed it, there would be no store in this village.
