Chapter 1203 The Mandarin Language Boom Exploded Ahead of Time!

June 6, 1988.

Monday.

After yesterday's news, many people in Hong Kong know that the Empire Group attaches great importance to Mandarin.

And today.

Early in the morning.

Yang Ming got up early as usual, went swimming for a few laps, and then accompanied Yang Jirong and his wife for breakfast. When Yang Ming was reading newspapers, he saw that almost all the major newspapers in Hong Kong were reporting this news.

The Empire Group announced that Mandarin will be the official language like English. Among them, if you want to transfer to a domestic branch as a senior executive, you even have to pass the Mandarin test.

This has a huge impact on Hong Kong.

The main reason is that the Empire Group now involves nearly two million regular employees in Hong Kong, and there are other part-time employees. If the families of those employees are included, it can be said that it involves a very wide range.

There are no other reporters or critics in these newspapers who make very sharp comments, believing that this will have a devastating impact on Cantonese.

After reading these reports.

After breakfast, he and Alina and Yingla took a car back to the headquarters of the Empire Group Building to work.

. . .

09:30 am.

Hong Kong Governor's Office.

At this time, the Hong Kong Governor's Office also held a very important press conference.

Among them, this time the meeting was chaired by Chief Secretary Wei Yixin.

The conference room announced that Chinese would be promoted to the official language of the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

In other words, before this, the Hong Kong Governor's Office had always used English as the official language, including meetings, documents, etc., all in English.

However, now that Chinese is announced as an official language.

This means that the Hong Kong Governor's Office and even other departments will not only use English in meetings in the future, but Chinese will also be the most important official language.

Even, there will be two copies of the document.

One is in English.

One is in Chinese.

This news shocked many reporters present this time.

First, it was reported yesterday that the Empire Group included Mandarin as an official language, and even used it as one of the selection methods for transferring domestic management positions. However, what these reporters did not expect was that the Hong Kong Governor's Office now announced that Chinese is one of the official languages.

This means that the influence on all walks of life in Hong Kong is more legitimate and the influence will be greater.

Some reporters thought that the reason why the Empire Group announced the news in advance was probably because they got the news from the Governor's Office in advance.

However, they felt that there must be a reason for the Empire Group to do so.

"As for why we did that? We did it in full accordance with the negotiation regulations of 1984."

In 1984.

The outside world knew about the negotiations between China and Country Y.

However, the outside world did not know about these contents.

Now, Wei Yixin personally announced these contents, and the reporters present have understood them.

"My Chinese is very poor, and I hope to improve a lot in the future." Wei Yixin said to the reporters in front of him with some embarrassment after the press conference.

With his status, he would never want to speak those Chinese words in his heart.

However, there is no way.

The Governor wanted to do that, and he looked through the contents of the negotiations that year and found that there was indeed a request in this regard.

This time, the news of the Governor's Office declaring Mandarin (Chinese) as the official language was soon spread by those reporters again.

This news shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong again.

18:30 pm.

The Li family.

Last night, Li Jiacheng learned from his wife Zhuang Yueming that the Empire Group suddenly announced that Mandarin would be the official language of the Empire Group.

However, what Li Jiacheng did not expect today was that the Governor's Office in Hong Kong also announced the news.

What does this mean?

It means that this matter is indeed not as simple as the outside world imagines.

"Madam, have you heard about the news?"

"Sir, the evening papers are reporting this news."

The press conference of the Governor's Office was held in the morning.

And now all the major evening papers in Hong Kong have reported this news.

After Zhuang Yueming took Li Jiacheng's suit and hung it up, he brought those newspapers and magazines. The front-page news of the evening papers was all about this news.

After reading it, Li Jiacheng was surprised again.

"Sir, it seems that we have to follow up."

In fact, it is not difficult for them to learn Mandarin.

Moreover, Changgang Industrial Group is now investing more and more in China. Zhuang Yueming thinks that Changgang Industrial Group must follow up as soon as possible.

"Madam, you are right."

Li Jiacheng no longer feels any problem with this matter.

After all, in the morning, when he saw that the Empire Group and its major groups were on the front pages of major newspapers, all of them announced the news that Mandarin would be the official language.

He knew that this matter could not be reversed at all.

Now the Empire Group has more than two million formal employees. It can be said that almost every Hong Kong family has someone working for Sir Yang and the Empire Group. The scope involved is too wide.

If those managers want to continue to be promoted, it is not just as simple as speaking English, but also Mandarin.

Li Jiacheng knows.

Sir Yang is changing Hong Kong.

Not only has he monopolized Hong Kong's economy, but now he has begun to intervene in language and culture.

Bao Family.

Last night.

Wu Guangzhen discussed the news with his father-in-law Wu Guangzhen, and Wu Guangzhen knew that when the Empire Group made changes, he had to follow up.

Sure enough, when the Governor's Office announced that Chinese was the official language today, he knew that the impact of this matter was far beyond his imagination.

"Father, have you read these reports?"

Bao Yugang has already read those evening newspapers.

Originally, some reporters or critics, and even people from all walks of life, made sharp criticisms of the Empire Group's practices, believing that the Empire Group's practices would be a devastating blow to Cantonese.

However, when the Governor's Office also announced this news, and there was a legal basis, these critics were speechless.

"Guangzhen, this is how the world is. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Smart people will follow up soon." Bao Yugang said.

In his opinion, since Sir Yang and the Empire Group don't have to worry about the ideas of Europe and the United States, what are they?

"Father, do you mean we have to follow up too?"

"I won't learn it, but you have other young generations, and it's a good thing to learn more Chinese."

. . .

Not long.

Although some people are still resisting the impact of Mandarin on their lives and work.

However, smart people have begun to learn Mandarin on their own initiative.

And Mandarin training classes soon began to appear in Hong Kong.

Whether actively or passively learning and accepting Mandarin, more and more ordinary people in Hong Kong are accepting Mandarin.

That is to say, from now on, the Mandarin trend begins to emerge in Hong Kong.
