The peaceful Hong Kong was suddenly broken by a fire in winter. The fire in Tung Tau Estate, Kowloon, directly caused 10,000 to 20,000 people to become homeless. It shocked all residents of Hong Kong and became the hottest topic in Hong Kong at this time.
After receiving the news that night, Suning immediately rushed back to Dongtou Village and saw the fire that turned half of the night sky red.
Seeing Suning's arrival, Lei Luo's family members showed excited expressions. Lei Luo's brother took Suning and said excitedly, "Brother Ning, you are finally here?
Come and see my dad quickly?
His leg was hit by a falling log?"
"Is everyone else okay?"
"Everyone else is fine! Only my dad is injured!"
"Brother, don't worry! I will drive uncle to the hospital now!"
"Thank you! Brother Ning!
Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we really don’t know what to do?"
Suning first asked people to carry the injured Lei Luo's father to his car, and then looked at Lei Luo's other family members, "Will you all go to my house now? Axia is waiting for you at home!"
"Brother Ning, do you want me to take my dad to the hospital with you?"
"No need! You are tired too!
Go back and rest quickly!"
Seeing Suning driving their father to the hospital, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then started to rush to Suning's house.
Halfway through, I saw Lei Luo coming over after receiving the news, "Brother, are you all okay?"
"Brother, we are all fine!
Only our dad’s leg was seriously injured!
Brother Ning has already driven him to the hospital!"
After hearing his brother's explanation, Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay! But it scared me to death! Where are you going now?"
"Brother Ning asked us to settle down at his house temporarily!"
"That's fine! You guys go over first! I'll go to the hospital to see our dad first!"
...
The impact of this fire was too great, because Dongtou Village is mainly made of wooden houses, and many villagers in Dongtou Village suffered heavy losses. Even Suning's wooden house was not spared.
Ah Xia's parents, who were in Yau Tsim Mong, also heard the news about the fire in Tung Tau Village, and they felt a little lucky.
“Honey, luckily we moved to Yau Tsim Mong in advance!
Otherwise we will be in trouble too!"
"Yes! I'm still panicking now!"
Suning, who comes from a later generation, is not clear about this period of history. Even if he is aware of it, he is helpless. After all, sometimes personal abilities are limited.
Based on my experience in the new century, the British Hong Kong government will soon come forward to provide disaster relief. When the time comes to organize donation activities, I will put in more effort and donate more money.
But something happened that shocked Suning. Regarding the fire in Tung Tau Estate, Kowloon, the British Hong Kong government turned a blind eye. Only some non-governmental organizations appeared to raise donations, and then nothing happened.
Time came to 1952, and seeing that the British Hong Kong government still did nothing, Suning participated in several private fund-raising activities in the name of his company, and wanted to make other efforts, such as buying some food and quilts to donate.
.
While Suning was busy with his company's affairs and thinking of ways to raise funds for disaster relief, an unexpected person unexpectedly came to visit him.
"Mr. Su, I am Lu Bing, the chairman of the Tung Tau Village Self-Rescue Association."
"Eh? Hello, Chairman Lu!" Suning was a little confused and shook hands with Lu Bing politely.
"Mr. Su, I am here on behalf of the villagers of Dongtou Village this time. I want to ask Mr. Su's Su Real Estate to help rebuild Dongtou Village?" Lu Bing explained, seeing Suning's doubts.
"reconstruction?"
"Yes! The villagers in Dongtou Village like your company's "Ruyuan Garden" community very much.
After the villagers voted, they unanimously decided to hand over the reconstruction work to Su Real Estate."
"Haha, Su feels honored to be trusted by Dongtou Village so much!
But this time, nearly 20,000 people were affected, and there were more than 4,000 families!
If we build a residential building like a "Garden Garden", we will need to build forty buildings and install elevators, which is really not a small project!" Suning roughly calculated the entire project, and he was shocked.
"Eh? We all know what Mr. Su said!
Our Tung Tau Village has just received a donation of nearly 200 million from the mainland, and with the donations from the private sector in Hong Kong, we can solve the problem to some extent!"
"Mainland donation?" Suning was really shocked. It seems that his family is still reliable in the face of difficulties.
"Yes!"
The reconstruction of Dongtou Village is a very troublesome matter, involving too many things, and many things are very complicated. Originally, Suning would not be involved in it.
Just seeing the displaced victims, Suning couldn't bear it. At the same time, the Dongtou Village reconstruction project is also a big project. If Su's Real Estate can be successfully completed, Su's Real Estate will make a qualitative leap.
"Chairman Lu, I have a plan here. Do you want to consider it?"
"Mr. Su, please tell me?" Lu Bing was a little pleased. This shows that Suning is willing to accept the mess of rebuilding Dongtou Village.
"The plan is to expropriate the land in Dongtou Village in the name of our Su Real Estate and then build a new community."
"Because the current housing prices in Hong Kong are around 310 square meters, we can give the villagers in Dongtou Village an ultra-low price of 111 square meters.
And there will be a limit of fifteen square meters per person!
In this case, villagers can live in "Ruyuan Garden"-style elevator bungalows without spending much money!"
"This...Mr. Su, are you serious?" Lu Bing looked at Suning in front of him with an expression of surprise.
"Of course! But we need to get a collection contract with every villager.
After all, legal procedures can save a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"Mr. Su, thank you so much!
We can also understand the contract matter!
After all, everything needs to be reasonable and legal!”
"Well! Since Chairman Lu has no objection to Su's plan.
I will send company employees to follow up on this matter!
After the contract is signed, Su's Real Estate will suspend other projects and make every effort to complete the Tung Tau Village reconstruction project, which should be completed in eight months."
"No objection! I will tell the villagers the good news as soon as possible!"
"Haha, Chairman Lu, different people have different views on the same matter!
If you, the villagers of Dongtou Village and the Self-Rescue Association, have any objections to this matter, you can regret it before the contract is signed!"
"Mr. Su, you are really worrying too much!
Your company has already given such favorable terms.
How can we not be satisfied!"
"Haha, I hope so!"
Suning has a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature. Building more than 40 residential buildings to house villagers is not a simple matter.
If Su's Real Estate achieves a breakthrough development with this Tung Tau Village reconstruction project, it will be difficult to avoid the jealousy of some caring people, and it will also be very troublesome if there are some discordant voices.
Therefore, Suning insists on signing a contract with every villager, not just with the Self-Rescue Association, because only in this way can it be legal and compliant.
Soon Lu Bing sent back the news that the villagers of Dongtou Village had no objections, and then Suning had someone prepare the contract.
After signing land acquisition contracts with all villagers, Suning arranged for employees to submit applications and reports to the British Hong Kong government, closing all possible loopholes.
Because Michelle exists in the British Hong Kong government, and at the same time, this Tung Tau Village reconstruction project is of great benefit to the British Hong Kong government, so it was easily passed.
