On the same day, Li Chenghao, protected by a group of Ukrainian military officers, drove to Kiev Airport. After getting on the bus, he saw the silver paper of the release of the prisoners, and his eyes showed joy.

In Li Chenghao's words: "After the matter is done, one less brother will be sacrificed, so one less brother will be sacrificed!" One day later.

At Xiangjiang Airport, Zhang Guobin, Dongguan Miao, Lawyer Chang, Target Boy and others stood in the exit passage. When they saw Li Chenghao, who was the first to return, he opened his arms across the railing and hugged him: "Ah Hao!"

"Big boss!"

Li Chenghao's face was filled with dust, his eyes moved over, and when he saw his girlfriend Mei Yanfang, he nodded guiltily: "Amei."

Sister Mei showed rare tenderness, shook her head and stepped forward: "Let's talk about it when we go home." Li Chenghao was shocked in his heart, knowing that his butt was about to be whipped again. The Wagga sailed away from the Black Sea Shipyard two days ago.

The process of sailing out of the Black Sea was extremely smooth, and every country along the way happily let it go. Even Turkey, which was historically ordered by the United States to intercept the Wagga in the Bosporus, no longer made the first move.

The so-called baseless reason that "the mothership's hull is too large, affecting the passage of other ships" could not be explained at all under the shocking blow from the Middle East base.

In August 1993, after a year and a month of sailing, the Wagga successfully arrived in Chinese territorial waters, crossed the Xiangjiang River without stopping, and arrived at Dalian Port. At the same time, Lin Guangyao, as the president of Yihai Group, published an article in the newspaper

News, officially announcing that the Wagga will be donated to the country free of charge.

At midnight on July 1, 1997, the first batch of Hong Kong garrison troops entered Luohu Port on time and took over the entry and exit management rights from the British army. In the auditorium, the national anthem was played, the flag was raised, and representatives of both sides stood up and saluted. ＊＊＊Official

transfer!

Armory Street, Zongshu Building, Police Commissioner Wen Qiren, in uniform, stood in front of the Deputy Commissioner, Senior Assistant Commissioner, and Assistant Commissioner, solemnly raising his right hand, standing at attention and saluting, looking forward.

The flag representing the Royal Police Force slowly fell together with the flag of the British Hong Kong Government. At the same time, the bauhinia flag representing the Hong Kong Government of the SAR was raised together with the bright national flag.

The new flag slowly climbed to the bottom, and the old history was put away and put into dust. At this moment, Wen Qiren put down his right hand and shouted: "The ceremony is over!" "Uh-huh!"

A group of senior officers wearing police flowers lowered their arms. Behind them were more than 600 police officers from the General Administration, including many Chinese elites and the ghostly old officer who had not yet resigned.

But now, regardless of skin color, identity, nationality, or the flag of allegiance, the position has changed. What remains unchanged is the Chinese! They will always be the masters of Xiangjiang! "Listen to the command!"

Wen Qiren took off the police hat on his head and shouted loudly: "Change the police badge!" "Yes, sir!"

At the entrances of forty police stations in Kowloon, the New Territories, Central, and the Outlying Islands, police officers lined up for a dressing ceremony and all took off their police hats in an instant.

Take off the Hong Kong government emblem that has been hanging for 99 years, replace it with the SAR emblem that symbolizes the future and the nation, and finally replace the armband and police rank. The transfer of security power is complete!

"You can be laid off, and we'll be put on the job!"

A roar etched in history sounded, and the handover of military power was completed. What followed was the defeat of the last Hong Kong governor and the inauguration of the new chief executive! On this day, after the early morning ceremony, Victoria Harbor, Mong Kok, Stanley, Tseung Kwan O, and Lantau Island all

There are gorgeous fireworks. Shencheng. Guangcheng.

Fireworks shows were held all along the coast to celebrate the return of the Pearl of the Orient. At the same time, the ceremony was broadcast to the world, and the peaceful return that was recorded in the ceremony ended successfully.

After the ceremony, it was past three o'clock in the morning. Zhang Guobin, as an overseas Chinese leader and a sage in Hong Kong society, walked out of the conference venue with Huo Sheng, Director Zheng, Boss Hu and others. They met a man wearing a suit, smoking and leaning on a Mercedes-Benz car.

Former middle-aged man.

"Boss, the dance party at the Peninsula Hotel is ready." Wen Qiren threw away his cigarette butt, opened the car door, and said respectfully: "I'll drive to pick you up."

Zhang Guobin walked to the car without hesitation. Mr. Huo looked around and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, other people are suitable to sit on Brother Yi's bus, but we are not suitable." "That's right."

Zheng Yutong smiled and said: "Others have special cars to pick you up, but we don't?" "Ah Qing, call."

He turned around and said something, and someone immediately took out a phone and called the driver. Zhang Guobin shook his head, got in the car, and looked at them with a smile: "See you at the dance." "See you at the dance!"

Mr. Huo, Zheng Yutong, and Hu Yingxiang all nodded in agreement. They waited until their respective drivers drove up to the car, then bent down to get in the car and leave.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The new governor, Mr. Dong, will meet with social elites at a ball in the hotel to discuss the new governance policy.

The people who can attend the handover dinner are either the talkers of a certain department of the Hong Kong government, the leaders of a certain business industry, or the powerful squires and rich people from various districts.

Zhang Guobin, Li Chenghao, Wen Qiren, Lin Guangyao and others are all on the invitation list. Yihai has many outstanding people, including almost half of Hong Kong! July 8th.

Zhang Guobin and Li Chenghao both received the "Justice of the Peace" medal from the SAR government at the same time, becoming the first batch of outstanding figures in Hong Kong to be awarded the Justice of the Peace.

The Justices of the Peace of the British Hong Kong Government lost all honors and effectiveness. Those who were awarded the new Justice of the Peace were all those who had not received the honor before, including Fok Kwun Tai, Zhang Guobin, Li Chenghao and others who refused to accept the Justice of the Peace.

Zhang Guobin stood in the living room of the old tenement building, looking at Li Chenghao, who was wearing a suit and wearing the medal of Justice of the Peace. He couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder: "Ah Hao, you are so impressive now."

Li Chenghao smiled naively and said: "No matter how majestic you are, you can't be as majestic as the elder."

Zhang Guobin couldn't help laughing: "Now I'm not asking you to flatter me. I finally returned to Xiangjiang. My relatives and friends are all here. Amei also gave up her career and went to North America with you for three years.

"It's time to give Amei an explanation."

Li Chenghao did not hesitate, nodded solemnly and said: "Boss, wait for a drink at my wedding!" It's the fifth day of the first lunar month of the millennium.

Mr. Li, Vice Chairman of the Dagong Group and Marshal of the Second Hongmen Road of the World, held a wedding at the InterContinental Hotel in Xiangjiang. On the wedding day, there were many stars, including wealthy people, wealthy businessmen, bureaucrats, and the bosses of the society.

Li Chenghao was wearing a white suit with a red flower on his chest. He looked a little silly, but his face was full of smiles. Mei Yanfang was wearing a white wedding dress and a veil, holding her husband's hand, standing at the door of the hotel to greet him.

Bin. "Thank you." "Thank you very much!"

Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua and others passed by one after another.

Cai Jinping, the security chief at the time, also came to attend in person. Passing by the reception desk, looking at the carpet and the couple in front of the flowers, he couldn't help but step forward to shake hands: "Congratulations, congratulations."

"I wish you two a baby soon."

Li Chenghao hugged his wife's waist and smiled confidently: "Thank you, Sir Cai!"

Mei Yanfang was happy and nodded to Sir Cai. Cai Jinping couldn't help but sigh: "Ms. Mei, I am also a fan of yours. I bought tickets for your farewell concert a week ago, but unfortunately I have something to do and I can't go."

"I kept that ticket as a souvenir. I wish you a happy marriage." Anita Mui's face was full of joy. "Thank you, sir."

Cai Jinping nodded and walked into the venue. On the way, he met a bridesmaid. After a closer look, he turned out to be the popular superstar Zhang Guorong. Zhang Guorong, as a man, served as the bridesmaid for his best friend in the music industry. The guests were shocked, but also for the two of them.

Friendship touches deeply.

November 4, 2022. Plover Cove Reservoir.

Late at night, with the sky full of stars and the bright moon hanging high, a middle-aged man wearing a white sweatshirt and holding a fishing rod sat on a stone on the shore, looking at the silent lake, somewhat lost in thought.

"Mr. Zhang, the factory rushed out a batch of goods last night and sent them to the country for rescue. This year's report from the Finance and Accounting Department has come out."

"Except for pharmaceutical companies, new energy companies have good income, while the assets of other companies have fallen. The North American stock index had a lot of income last year." A young subordinate said beside him.

Zhang Guobin, who is over 50 years old this year, takes good care of himself and does not look old. His somewhat gray temples are dyed black by a family hairdresser every month.

The dryness of his skin, the cloudiness of his eyes, his lack of energy, and the vicissitudes of his words can all bear witness to the years he has passed.

As for the people who had gone through the years together, almost all of them had withered away. As early as the 1990s, he had already sent away his uncles and elders one after another.

Since the 2000s, two of Yihai's ten outstanding figures have died of illness. Later, those who should retire retired and those who should take care of themselves.

Even Zhang Guobin resigned as the head of Hongmen Mountain five years ago and returned to his hometown with his old brothers to enjoy the years in peace.

Although, for politicians, being in their fifties is the prime of life, there are age limits for politicians to rise step by step. He had already become the leader of Hongmen Mountain at the age of thirty, and had been majestic for twenty years. Even though he was a little uncomfortable, he

We have begun to slowly hand over power to the younger generation.

At this time, he only had an office in the Grand Hall. At the end of each season and every year, he would listen to reports and make a phone call to inform him of anything he thought of. He never attended any meetings, never faced reporters, and never attended public events.

.

A young man in a suit sat aside, peeling apples as usual, and reminded him loudly: "Father." "Huh?" Zhang Guobin turned around and looked at him.

Zhang Zhaohua looks 70% like him and 30% like his mother, but his words are gentle and gentle: "Sir Cai called and wants to ask you to be the consultant of the Special Administrative Region."

"Haha." Zhang Guobin laughed loudly. "I'm back!" Zhang Zhaohua nodded: "I understand."

He lacks the wildness of his father, but is calmer than his father. He also graduated from the University of California with a double degree, majoring in business administration and information technology. He has excellent academic qualifications, outstanding intelligence, and his father Yu Meng, who has been deeply involved in Hongmen.

It is widely expected and most supported by the older generation.

"I want you to come back to China with me this time just because I want you to take up a position in Heyihai. I don't want to do anything else!" Zhang Guobin said earnestly: "As you get older, your family is more important than yourself."

"Dad, with you in charge, I have nothing to fear, and maybe I don't need to do anything." Zhang Zhaohua said with a wry smile, "I'm used to everything going smoothly."

Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "It is not a good thing to waste time and go through hardships and dangers. With me protecting you, everything goes smoothly. This is worthy of the achievements I have made through hard work."

"There are many uncles, brothers, and young people behind you to support you. All in all, you have done well, but it is different from Yihai and Dagongtang." Zhang Zhaohua was quite surprised: "What's the difference?"

Zhang Guobin smiled: "The current world situation is unstable, East Asia is the biggest focus, and Xiangjiang is at a critical position. Although the city is peaceful, there are undercurrents. If you use Xiangjiang as a springboard, just try it and you will know."

Zhang Zhaohua had some understanding: "You mean economic war, financial war?" "And potential hot war?" Zhang Guobin asked: "Have you heard of Jianghu?"

Zhang Zhaohua shook his head: "I heard Uncle Hao say it when I was a kid, but Yihai Group is already a formalized group, so it shouldn't be involved in Jianghu affairs, right?" He suddenly saw his father's eyes flashing, and was speechless. He had an answer in his heart.

Eucalyptus.

Zhang Guobin said: "Jianghu is a place without rules. There are only laws, morals and grievances here. Different people have different rivers and lakes. You should go and find your own rivers and lakes now!"

Zhang Zhaohua nodded solemnly: "I also hope to make some achievements. As agreed before, I will serve as the domestic president of Yihai Group and take care of domestic affairs first."

Zhang Guobin was noncommittal and suddenly pulled up the fishing rod: "I'd like to remind you again, remember to wear a helmet when fishing."

Zhaohua looked at Heiyu with astonishment on his face. He wanted to ask why you didn't wear it? But he didn't dare to open his mouth under his father's sharp eyes.

Zhang Guobin, nickname: Prince Bin, Abin, native of Guangcheng, born in Jiang, lost his father at the age of 6 and his mother at the age of 12, graduated from Tiantai Middle School in Rainbow Village, founded Oriental DreamWorks, Oriental Digital Domain, Yihai Group, and later
