On the morning of the next day, the senior management of the Lee Group continued to hold a meeting in the second conference hall on the second floor of Wheelock Building. The focus was on the annual development of Xiangjiang Nine Schools and Xiangjiang Real Estate related to the Lee Group.
With the development over the years, Xiangjiang Chinese University, Xiangjiang University of Communication, Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, Xiangjiang Medical University, Xiangjiang University of Finance and other schools have gained a good reputation in the world. Although they are still not comparable to the world's top universities, they are still far away.
The ranking of Xiangjiang University is not far behind, and it is only in the middle of the same level as the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
In terms of planned enrollment this year, these nine schools have once again made history. The number of students admitted to Xiangjiang Lisboa is said to be 30,000, and the number of international students to be admitted will exceed 26,000.
Among them, the main sources of international students are 12,000 from the mainland, 5,000 from Southeast Asia, 3,000 from Eastern Europe, 2,000 from East Africa, 1,000 from Taiwan, and 3,000 from other regions.
Entering the year 2000, the total population of Xiangjiang has exceeded 8 million. The reason why it has increased so quickly is mainly because John Major once created a plan to attract 200,000 talents to settle in Xiangjiang every year. Patten continued this trend later.
This practice has led to the population of Xiangjiang rising year by year. In 1989, the population was close to 6 million, and it has exceeded the current population of 8.3 million.
Due to the various restrictions imposed by John Major and Chris Patten, it is difficult for some things to come down in price after they go up. Many people even know that this is not possible, but their self-interest makes them choose to turn a blind eye, or even work hard to maintain or maintain it later.
It will push the price to continue to rise.
The current housing prices in Hong Kong have increased five times compared to 1991. In 1991, the price was still about 1,200 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, but now it has reached 6,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.
The current salary of an ordinary waiter in Xiangjiang is around 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. That is to say, if the monthly salary of an ordinary catering waiter is not enough to buy a house of one square foot, a house of 600 square feet will cost 36 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if you don’t eat or drink, at the current price
The salary will last for 60 years, which basically eliminates the idea of ordinary catering staff buying a house.
Even if you buy the cheapest house in the New Territories North, the lowest house price there is about 3,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. A 600 square foot house will cost 18 million Hong Kong dollars, and it will take 30 years based on this calculation.
Of course, here in Xiangjiang Island, there are very few houses priced below 10,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. It is almost impossible to buy at a slightly lower price.
Now Li Guangyu will not take care of too much. There are some things that he cannot take care of. Once the housing prices fall, the assets of countless households in Xiangjiang will be severely reduced, and there will probably be a wave of supply cuts.
The houses developed by the Starlight Real Estate Group, a subsidiary of the Li Group, are now all provided to employees within the Li Group. The prices will be two levels lower than the market price, and Tianyu Bank handles loans for them. At present, only employees of the Li Group with several years of service can save money.
For some, there is still a chance to own a house of your own.
At the meeting, Li Guangyu said: "At the nine-school joint job fair the day after tomorrow, all major groups must make arrangements in advance. Gan Qin will make unified arrangements in this regard to try to ensure that graduates of our school can find a satisfactory job."
Work."
This time, not only the major groups of the Li Group, but also companies under the Xiangjiang Group and the Hsinchu Commercial Bank Group will come. In addition, the Nine Schools have also contacted some well-known companies in Xiangjiang to participate in this job fair.
Every year, 80% of the international students from Xiangjiang No. 9 School stay in Xiangjiang, which is also the most important source of students settling in Xiangjiang.
Gan Qin responded: "This time we are holding job fairs at the Tianyu Sports Center, Hung Hom Sports Center, and International Convention and Exhibition Center at the same time.
In the International Convention and Exhibition Center, there are mainly companies in finance, real estate, Internet, electronic semiconductors, home appliances, communications, etc.
The Hung Hom Sports Center mainly houses companies in supermarket retail, hotel industry, automobile industry, service industry, etc.
In Tianyu Sports Center, companies in the media industry, silk textile and garment industry, petrochemical industry, air transportation industry and other industries are the main companies.”
Since there are hundreds of thousands of graduates from 21 colleges and universities in Xiangjiang every year, including Lisboa University and Bentley University, some graduates from Hsinchu University will also come to attend this job fair. There are very many people. For this reason, Gan Qin specially classified the recruitment into three
The venue is specially designed to serve these nearly 200,000 graduates.
However, this mainly serves Xiangjiang No. 9 Schools, Hsinchu University, and Bentley University. During recruitment, these schools will give priority to admissions under the same circumstances. After all, the companies attending the job fair this time are either those of the Li Group and its allies, or
A company that has a very good relationship with them.
Later, Li Guangyu made another arrangement for the real estate layout in Hong Kong. The focus was to continue to build three star cities in Tseung Kwan O, Powder Shui, and Yuen Long to meet the needs of the employees of the Lee Group in the past two years.
Li Guangyu said to Ma Wensong, president of Starlight Real Estate Group: "Your group must plan reasonably and strive to complete three Starlight cities within two years. In terms of sales, employees of our major groups will start submitting applications to the group next month and give priority to
For employees without housing, followed by those with brothers and sisters in their families who need to purchase housing.
Employees who own their own housing are not allowed to apply. Applicants are limited to purchasing one unit. We are here to reduce the burden on employees and we absolutely cannot allow them to become real estate speculators."
Applicants are also required to have worked in the Li Group for five years, which is basically five years, in order to enjoy such benefits. Applicants who have worked for less than five years are also allowed, but they must sign a contract and work in the Li Group for at least five years.
Zhao Qianyin, the former president of Starlight Real Estate Group, officially resigned as president of the group in January 1997, followed her husband to settle in Canada, and is currently working as a full-time housewife at home.
In the past few years, not only Zhao Qianyin has left the Li Group, but Lin Yanyun, the former president of Jiadai Group, has also left the Li Group and now lives in London. Jiadai Group currently has Bai Jiangting as the president and Anita Mui as the executive vice president.
Similarly, Zhou Jiahan of Hongyu Clothing Group has also left the group and now serves as president of Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, while Li Wenhao, executive vice president of Feiyu Group, serves as president of Hongyu Group.
Later, Li Guangyu also emphasized the group's financial problems. This year, the audit teams of the Review Department will conduct financial reviews of some groups and independent companies.
Cao Weiqing said: "Every time we hold a meeting, we will emphasize this issue, but every year there will be some groups or companies with financial problems. I hope that all senior executives can strictly abide by the group regulations to ensure the healthy development of our company."
The Li family conglomerate is huge, so it is impossible to completely eliminate this aspect. Cao Weiqing can only conduct more inspections of the industry every year, which can also give some deterrence to those who reach out.
This high-level meeting of the Lee Foundation was quite long, taking three days in total to discuss many aspects of development. This meeting also set the stage for the development of the Lee Foundation in the next 10 years.
