After Huo Yingdong learned about Li Guangyu's views on the Iraq issue, he turned to the Xiangjiang issue.
In the past two years, both the predecessor John Major and the current Patten have imposed strict restrictions on the Lee Consortium, especially the conversion of industrial land to commercial land, which the government Xie Chaoyang has not approved.
Fortunately, Li Guangyu and Wei Yixin sat down and made some preparations. Currently, the land in Fenshui New Town is still being transferred to the Li Group in accordance with the contract, allowing the development of Fenshui New Town to proceed normally.
There are currently four main university clusters in Xiangjiang, namely Tin Shui Wai, Tseung Kwan O, Fen Shui and Tai Po. The first three are the No. 9 Private School run by Li Guangyu and the New No. 4 Responsible Xiangjiang School in Tai Po.
As for Hong Kong University in Hong Kong Island, Chinese University of Hong Kong in Shatin, Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Sham Shui Po, and Hong Kong City University in Kowloon, these are relatively scattered, unlike these universities that are jointly planned and integrated together.
Fortunately, there are not many companies in Xiangjiang that have demand for industrial land. In the past few years, 20 hectares of industrial land have been acquired by the Li Group and its allies every year.
But for residential and commercial land, 10 hectares are needed in Fenshui New Town. Then the government develops the University Town of Dabu District and transfers 10 hectares to Yizhe Real Estate, Jiaming Real Estate Company, Xingle Real Estate Company, etc. to provide several
It is developed by the party to provide supporting commercial and residential facilities for Tai Po University Town.
This has resulted in the fact that only 10 hectares of residential and commercial land have been auctioned to the public in Xiangjiang in recent years. As for John Major's promise of fair competition and no more quota transfers, he overturned it in less than a month.
In the past two years, more people have settled in Xiangjiang. Fortunately, the Lee Group and its allies have a huge construction plan in Sham Shui Po, which is still being promoted. The current housing prices in Xiangjiang are relatively stable and have not risen too much.
Now the salary of ordinary workers in Xiangjiang has reached 3,500 to 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, such as catering waiters and supermarket salespersons. This is such a salary now.
Last year, Hong Kong’s per capita GDP reached US$15,819, which is HK$123,388 in Hong Kong dollars.
This can also be seen that the current gap between the rich and the poor in Xiangjiang is quite large. The wages of catering waiters and supermarket salespersons in Xiangjiang are basically at the bottom, so the wages are relatively low.
The current house price in Xiangjiang is 1,200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, and a 600-square-foot house (without shared area) costs more than 700,000 Hong Kong dollars. Calculated in terms of per capita GDP, it would take more than six years without food or drink.
Calculated based on the salary of a catering waiter, the salary is only 3,500 Hong Kong dollars, and it takes 17 or 18 years to build a 600-square-foot house.
This is the result of the efforts of Li Guangyu and his allies to suppress it. Otherwise, housing prices will be higher. Now Patten is still practicing John Major's method. In the next two years, housing in Hong Kong will be tense. I am afraid that there will be some
Not a good situation.
The mainland has long been aware of this problem, but the treaty has been signed and the British side is unwilling to change it. Now the mainland has no choice.
Now we can only hope that the major real estate developers in Hong Kong can work together to ensure the supply of housing in Hong Kong as much as possible. When Hong Kong returns, there will be no British stumbling block, and land will no longer be a problem.
Huo Yingdong said: "Li Sheng, I know you have paid a lot for Xiangjiang. If it weren't for you, no one knows how high the current housing prices in Xiangjiang would be. I hope you can take this for the sake of the 6 million Xiangjiang citizens."
After suppressing housing prices in Xiangjiang for several years, after the return of Xiangjiang, our land supply will no longer be restricted, and the goal of Xiangjiang residents having their own homes and living and working in peace and contentment can be achieved."
To be honest, Li Guangyu is also having a headache about this problem. This time, in order to provide as much housing as possible to the outside world, all the land is now being developed for 33-story high-rise residential buildings, and the construction of villas has been completely stopped.
Even so, the current housing supply still cannot fully meet the needs of Xiangjiang citizens. You must know that the real estate sold by Li Guangyu is basically for those who are in urgent need. Those who want to speculate in real estate cannot buy houses here from Li Guangyu and his allies.
Now he can only continue to acquire some old communities and some small bungalows, bulldoze them and rebuild them to increase the number of housing launches.
Li Guangyu and his colleagues have very low profits from real estate development in Xiangjiang. It can be said that Li Guangyu and his allies will make more money wherever they develop than in Xiangjiang. However, Xiangjiang is where they started, and they all live in Xiangjiang. Therefore, even if the profits are very low, Li Guangyu and his allies
We are still willing to do this so that the citizens of Xiangjiang can live a happier life.
Li Guangyu responded: "Huo Sheng, under the current situation, we can only do our best to keep the Xiangjiang property market as stable as possible before the return. Now that Patten has taken office, he will definitely take a lot of actions. You still have to pay more attention."
Huo Yingdong naturally understood that this governor was a stick sent by the British to destroy the hard-won development achievements of Xiangjiang and leave a mess to the mainland.
But now we don’t have much choice but to wait until 1997, when Hong Kong returns, and some clauses that are not in line with Hong Kong’s economic development can be removed.
Especially in the area of education, Huo Yingdong is very happy that Li Guangyu and his nine private schools all teach in Cantonese, and the textbooks, except for English majors, are also in Chinese characters (traditional).
After the return of Xiangjiang in the future, he will propose that all schools in Xiangjiang switch to Cantonese teaching and use Chinese character textbooks in addition to English.
In this regard, we can also discuss this with Li Guangyu and senior officials of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other schools, and kick out those who are inappropriate.
No matter what happened to Li Guangyu, Huo Yingdong knew that she was completely sincere to Xiangjiang. Even with Bentley Island, Li Guangyu's family's current household registration is still in Xiangjiang, and they have no intention of changing their household registration. This is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
You must know that in Bentley Island, the Lee Consortium is the local emperor. It has very great autonomy and has everything but diplomacy. Ordinary people would have been transferred there long ago.
Huo Yingdong spoke up: "Li Sheng, the benefits and contributions you have made to Xiangjiang over the years are seen by the top management in the Mainland, and they will never let those who maintain the unity and stability of the motherland feel cold. Xiangjiang is what we all share."
I also hope that Li Sheng can continue to accompany the millions of citizens in Xiangjiang and make our Xiangjiang more prosperous."
Li Guangyu understood the meaning of Huo Yingdong's words. He himself had never thought about transferring his household registration elsewhere. Xiangjiang was the most suitable place for him.
Regardless of whether Bentley Island is good, if he really transfers his family business to Bentley Island, he will only have to worry about protection fees. It is not easy to maintain a power. After all, this world is a world of big countries, and small countries can only rely on big countries.
If Bentley Island is not controlled by the British, there will really be many forces that dare to attack it. If they want the British to control it, they will have to pay protection fees, and everything will be controlled by the British.
It's different here in Xiangjiang. Unless there is a third war, no country would dare to take action against Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang is relatively safer.
And Bentley Island is just a bargaining chip for Li Guangyu. It is not against the country, but against those consortiums and some terrorist forces. With the power of Bentley Island, even if the American consortium adopts informal competition methods, it will
