I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 575 [Development of Tianshuiwei]

The Hong Kong British government began to rule Xiangjiang on January 1841, 1. By the time of MacLehose, there were a total of 26 governors;

MacLehose has served as the Governor of Hong Kong since 1971, and this year is only his fourth year in office;

It can be said that this is the time for MacLehose's ambitions. After hearing about Wu Guangyao's plan to build a town, he immediately decided to organize the heads of various departments of the Hong Kong government to discuss it.

Although MacLehose did not have any administrative experience before managing Xiangjiang, he lacked bureaucracy and was willing to do practical things for the entire Xiangjiang;
The fact is also true. During the tenure of MacLehose in the previous life, Xiangjiang carried out drastic reforms, involving housing, clean government, education, medical care, infrastructure, transportation, economy and many social benefits, the most famous of which is the development of new towns , ten-year housing plan, nine-year free education, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the construction of the underground railway.

However, the "Home Ownership" plan has affected the interests of too many people. Even the Governor of Hong Kong has difficulty promoting this plan. In the end, the two sides have reached a balance, and the number of cheap houses launched each year has been greatly reduced. An "image project!
Although Wu Guangyao decided to support the Hong Kong government to build a large number of public housing in Tin Shui Wai, Wu Guangyao knew that these public housing would not affect Hong Kong real estate too much.

Because of my appearance, Hong Kong Island has undergone many changes;

First of all, the population has increased by tens of thousands or even more than the population of the previous life in the same period; the population increases, and the housing demand also increases.

Secondly, the per capita income level should have increased by about 15% to 20% during the same period. The increase in income level means that the number of people who can afford to buy a house has increased.

Finally, the Hong Kong government has implemented the 'resistance policy', which means that mainland residents can obtain legal status in Hong Kong as long as they arrive in the urban area of ​​Hong Kong; , It also caused a large number of mainland residents to come to Hong Kong during this period of time; if Tin Shui Wai is developed, a large number of workers will be needed, and these people can just provide cheap labor, and they can also become beneficiaries of public housing in the future.

After MacLehose learned that Wu Guangyao intended to develop Tin Shui Wai, he immediately discussed with his staff and some officials of the Hong Kong government; everyone agreed that the Wu family had the ability to build a new town that could accommodate 50 people. This can not only stimulate Hong Kong's economy, but also alleviate some social conflicts in Hong Kong, such as housing problems and employment problems.
From an economic point of view, it is indeed harmless to the Hong Kong government and Hong Kong Island, and it is even helping the Hong Kong government to solve problems;
However, the Hong Kong government still has to consider a political issue, that is, whether Wu Guangyao's influence will continue to expand, thereby affecting the British rule of Hong Kong.

In the end, it was MacLehose who made the decision himself, saying: "According to MI[-]'s investigation, the Wu family has never explicitly turned to the mainland government; on the contrary, we should win over the Wu family, which will be beneficial to future negotiations!"

Winning over the Wu family is itself a strategy for London;
On the issue of Hong Kong Island, London needs to win over the Wu family;
In terms of the British local economy, London also needs to win over the Wu family.

In the following month, Wu Guangyao led his team to meet with the Hong Kong government several times;
The two sides had a series of discussions on the development of various aspects of Tin Shui Wai.

A series of detailed discussions have been carried out on science and technology industrial parks, polytechnic universities, public housing estates, commercial facilities, etc.

December 1974, 12, Western Christmas.

Wu's consortium and the Hong Kong government have reached an agreement. Wu's consortium will invest at least 15 billion Hong Kong dollars within 100 years to build a new town in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, that can accommodate 50 people.

The news came out and shocked Hong Kong and Kowloon!

It is generally believed by all walks of life that the New Territories has always been a forbidden area for real estate developers because of sovereignty issues and inconvenient transportation;
Now that Wu's consortium has actually invested 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, aren't they afraid of being in vain?
When there was a lot of discussion outside, Wu Guangyao called the CEOs of all his companies and held a meeting in the family office of Changshi Building.

"Everyone, take a look at the information in hand. The development of Tianshuiwei cannot be separated from the support of the company you manage; I will set up a project team to develop Tianshuiwei as soon as possible. The company under your management must obey the arrangement of the project team!"

For this project team, Wu Guangyao will naturally lead the position of team leader, and three more deputy team leaders will be added, followed by a series of departments.

Li Xing said happily: "Assisting the Hong Kong government in building 3 low-rent housing units is equivalent to solving the living environment of only 10 people. In other words, our real estate companies can still solve the living environment of 30 people."

The living environment of 30 people is equivalent to six Taikoo cities, which makes several real estate CEOs excited just thinking about it!
Wu Guangyao waved his hand and said, "The premise is that the science and technology industrial park can be a big success. Otherwise, there will be no large number of jobs. How can we attract citizens to live in Tin Shui Wai?"

Fu Hongru took over the topic and said: "The boss doesn't need to worry. Baiyou Group can at least solve the employment problem of 5000 people in Tianshuiwei Science and Technology Industrial Park. The main reason is that food and beverage companies are developing rapidly, and Shauqiwan has gradually become a prosperous area. We can completely relocate the Shau Kei Wan factory to Tin Shui Wai. The land in Shau Kei Wan can be used for real estate development and bring a lot of profits.”

Li Bing of the Zipper Group also said: "Factories in Tsuen Wan can also support the relocation!"

After that, everyone made suggestions one after another, but everyone used the relocation of the factory as their main resource.

Wu Guangyao said, "If I follow what you said, my original intention has completely changed! What I want is to increase the industrial competitiveness of Hong Kong Island, not to relocate my factory and use the original factory skin to develop real estate. To tell you the truth, science and technology industrial parks are really not something you can enter as you wish. I will not let them enter some low-end manufacturing industries.

To give you an idea, in the new science and technology park, I will invest heavily in the electronics industry and machinery production.

As for your factories, I will not develop real estate projects! "

In the previous life, some industrialists saw the boom in real estate on Hong Kong Island, and used their factories to develop real estate one after another. In the end, the entire industry disappeared.

Speaking of it, if Wu Guangyao's factory land really comes into the 21st century, it is estimated that hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars will not be a problem;
But the point is that the Wu family does not lack 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars at all!
Next, everyone was finally honest, and the suggestions they made were finally a bit constructive!

For example, the Zipper Group has been vigorously developing machinery manufacturing in recent years and intends to invest in a factory with about 3000 employees in Tianshuiwei;

For example, Master Kong, a subsidiary of Baiyou Group, can invest in a factory with 2000 employees in Tianshuiwei in the future;

The toy factory under the Oriental Media Group can also invest in a factory with 2000 employees in Tin Shui Wai;

After some discussion, the employment problem of 1 people was almost determined;
Wu Guangyao said: "For the time being, let's plan in this way first. Including the electronics factory I estimate, there will be no problem for almost 3 people to be employed in the science and technology park. Let's slowly attract investment in the future!"

In fact, Wu Guangyao still has a lot of investment, but he didn't say it!

According to the historical process, at least in the late 90s, the mainland was considered a mature factory transfer site;

So as long as Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park completes its transformation before the late 90s and becomes a high-tech industrial park;
Then, the future Tin Shui Wai will not be affected by the development of the Mainland!
