"They won! The gold medal! Xu Haifeng won it! A breakthrough! This is China's first Olympic gold medal!"
The Chinese journalists, overseas Chinese, and even the sports commission leaders who had just been putting on airs all hugged each other, their eyes brimming with tears of emotion.
Lin Huowang stood in the stands, watching the five-star red flag rise for the first time in a foreign land, accompanied by the honor of winning a gold medal, listening to the majestic March of the Volunteers, and witnessing this historic moment with his own eyes.
In his past life, he didn't have these conditions; he only watched a replay of this scene on television.
But in this lifetime, he was able to stand on the scene and become a witness to this history, and even a deep participant.
"Dad! Did that uncle win?"
Lin Anbang, the eldest son, who was being held by Qian Shuzhen, pointed to Xu Haifeng below who was wearing a gold medal and asked in a cute and proud baby voice.
"We won."
Lin Huowang smiled and patted his son's head, saying proudly, "Son, remember this. From today onwards, no one will dare to call us 'the sick man of East Asia' anymore. The backbone of us Chinese people stands tall on the sports field!"
In the following two weeks of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team achieved a series of victories.
These Chinese women's volleyball team girls are truly fearless and determined!
In that thrilling final, the girls, with their indomitable spirit, defeated the host team of this Olympic Games, the United States!
Lang Ping's powerful spike not only defeated the opponent, but also firmly imprinted the spirit of the women's volleyball team into the hearts of every Chinese person.
During this Olympics, every time a Chinese athlete stepped onto the podium, the "Dragon" logo on their chest was like a silent declaration, demonstrating the power and influence of "Made in China" to people all over the world.
...
After the Olympics ended, Lin Huowang did not fly directly back to Beijing with the rest of the team.
He changed course and flew back to Hong Kong Island with Fok Chun-ting.
Because here, a "war" without gunpowder, but one that is far more dangerous, awaits him.
This was Hong Kong Island in 1984, a rather strange year for the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong Island.
The negotiations between China and Britain on the future of Hong Kong have entered the final and most crucial stage. In Lin Huowang's memory, the Sino-British Joint Declaration is about to be initialed.
Although with China's rise and strength, Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and the future of Hong Kong Island is largely set, these arrogant British people are still quite unwilling to accept it!
Although the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher suffered a major setback two years ago at the entrance of the Great Hall of the People, losing face for the entire British Empire, her cronies and politicians are still trying to stir up trouble over the Hong Kong issue.
What are they trying to do?
They just want to disrupt Hong Kong's economy!
And they want to run away with the money!
They're going to leave China with a complete mess!
It must be said that the British these days are good at building things, but they are masters at causing trouble and destruction.
In real history, when the British were about to leave Hong Kong Island, they left us with many pitfalls in the economic and educational fields. So much so that later on, China had a real headache dealing with the new generation of people from Hong Kong Island because their education from childhood was skewed.
Central, Hong Kong Island.
In the top-floor office of Hongkong Land Group's headquarters.
Lin Huowang sat smiling in his boss's chair, twirling a pen in his hand, listening to the Chinese business tycoons in front of him complaining.
The faces of Bao Chuanwang, Fok Ying-tung, Li Ka-shing, and others were not very pleasant.
"Mr. Kobayashi, those British companies we drove out of Hong Kong are acting up again lately! They've started dumping large amounts of our company shares on the stock market..."
The shipping magnate frowned and said, "I heard they're still selling off properties on Hong Kong Island on a large scale, and the remaining British-owned properties are all preparing to move their registration to Bermuda. As soon as this news came out, the Hang Seng Index plummeted! The whole of Hong Kong is in a state of panic!"
"yes."
Li Jiacheng sighed, "There are so many rumors flying around now, saying that the Hong Kong dollar will become worthless after the handover and that it will be 'communized'... People are so scared that they're rushing to banks to exchange for US dollars. If this continues, the Hong Kong economy might collapse!"
Yes! Li Ka-shing is a very pragmatic businessman. A few years ago, after learning that the British-owned capital in Hong Kong was doomed, he immediately went to Lin Huowang to express his loyalty and took practical actions to show his support and allegiance to the mainland.
Given how quickly he yielded, Lin Huowang was unable to carry out his original plans to take action against him.
You can't hit someone who's smiling! Lin Huowang still has to help the mainland integrate other Chinese-owned businesses in Hong Kong. If Li Ka-shing is so compliant, it's unreasonable for him to still try to take advantage of him.
so……
Thanks to this, Li Ka-shing has been very successful in Hong Kong in the past two years, growing stronger and more powerful. Although he is far from becoming the richest man in Hong Kong as he would later become, he is still second only to the Fok and Pau families.
At this moment, with the British capital launching a counterattack, these Chinese investors naturally had to seek advice from the magical "Little Lin Whirlwind" Lin Huowang.
