Tin Shui Wai is no longer the Tin Shui Wai it was five years ago. Tin Shui City New Town has long become the new term here.
Although the finance and commerce here are not as developed as in the central city, it is quite prosperous due to the concentration of population. According to statistics, as of the end of last year, the permanent population of Tianshui New Urban Area had exceeded 250,000.
With the continuous economic development here, the permanent population will continue to rise in the next few years, and becoming one of the six core development areas in Hong Kong is not a dream.
At present, in addition to Kowloon and the main urban areas of Hong Kong Island, the six new urban areas of Tseung Kwan O, Tin Shui City, Sha Tin, Tai Po, Fen Shui and Sham Shui Po are developing at a very fast pace. However, the government has only planned six core development areas. Kowloon
The urban and east-west districts occupy two, while Tianshui City competes with many new urban areas for the other four.
It can even be said that there are two. Sham Shui Po has been clearly defined as the core development area for commerce and consumption, while the Fenshui New Urban Area in the North District is the core development area for Xiangjiang Semiconductor and the Internet.
Dapu New Urban District seems a bit embarrassing. As the location of Xiangjiang University of Electronics and Information Engineering and Xiangjiang High-tech Industrial Park, it cannot compare with Fenshui New Urban District, which has Phoenix Industrial Park and Donghua High-tech Industrial Incubator Park.
The development speed of Ouru is also good, but it is probably impossible to become one of the six core development areas.
As for the new urban area of Tseung Kwan O, it's hard to say. It's just that driven by the large amount of investment from the Tung Wah Association, it is possible to become a core area for headquarters economic development. After all, the Tung Wah Association has many industries.
As for Hong Kong Island, especially Central, the future focus will be on finance. With three major exchanges in Central, plus numerous banks and investment institutions, no district can shake Central's position in this regard.
Kowloon City is the core development area of the film and television media industry. Currently, the six major TV stations and two major radio stations in Hong Kong are headquartered here, and most of the headquarters of film and television companies are in Kowloon City.
Although Jiayi and Suncity will be relocated to Tung Wah Road, Tseung Kwan O, it will not affect the status of Kowloon City District in this regard.
Tian Shui City has to compete for two places with Tseung Kwan O New Urban Area, Tai Po New Urban Area, Yau Tsim Mong New Urban Area which is about to be merged with Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui, and Shatin New Urban Area which has a university town. It is really difficult for Tian Shui City to compete for two places.
Shuicheng has a new urban area.
It’s just that the councilors in Yuen Long obviously don’t think that the new urban area of Tianshui City does not have that strength. Today, members of the Xiangjiang Association of the Tung Wah Association, senior officials of the Xinjian Department, and Kesos and others came to Tianshui City, and they came to Li Jianhui and Kesos.
Si and others are around.
First, we hope that the government will increase policy support for the new urban area of Tianshui City, especially transportation support, with the focus being on the subway from Tianshui City to Tsuen Wan.
The second is to support Tianshui City in becoming a headquarters and R&D center for home appliances, clothing, food and beverages.
The third is to hope that the government can support and encourage higher education institutions to set up schools in Tianshui City New Urban Area, so that Tianshui City New Urban Area can become another university gathering place in Hong Kong.
Fourthly, we hope that Li Jianhui and others can increase their industrial investment in the new urban area of Tianshui City and provide more jobs for the new urban area of Tianshui City.
Kesos did not respond to the suggestions of these congressmen, but looked at Li Jianhui. She wanted to know whether this was Li Jianhui's instruction. You must know that these congressmen are close to the Donghua Association. The leader of these congressmen is Li Guozhang, the deputy chief minister.
It's Lei Zhaojiang, these two people are from the Li family of East Asia and the Lei family of Kowloon.
During the opening ceremony of the Tai Lam Tunnel, Li Jianhui mentioned the subway line from Tin Shui City to Tsuen Wan. Now these councilors mentioned it again. It seems that the Tung Wah Association wants to completely open up the traffic bottleneck in Tin Shui City.
And it seems that while Tung Wah Association is focusing on the development of Tseung Kwan O and North District Dapu, it has no intention of giving up here.
Focusing on home appliances, clothing, and food and beverages, we will build a headquarters economy and R&D base. In addition, Tianshui Ancient City and the Jiayi Comics Theme Amusement Park, which started construction in March, will serve as entertainment resources to complement the consumption center of Wheelock Plaza.
Coupled with the Xiangjiang Film and Television University and the Xiangjiang Aviation College, if a few more universities are introduced, the continued rapid development of Tianshui City's new urban area will not be a problem.
It's a pity that ever since he and Brian came here, they have been non-obstructive and non-supportive towards the Tung Wah Association's key areas. Currently, they mainly support the development of Sha Tin and Sham Shui Po.
Moreover, in terms of universities, the government already has six public universities. Due to financial constraints, it is temporarily unable to build new public universities.
As for private universities, even if they do not support it, it is useless. Except for members of the Tung Wah Association, no one will build it here.
As for the Tung Wah Association, he has had people communicate with Li Jianhui and others many times, hoping that Li Jianhui and others can establish several more institutions of higher learning, such as universities related to textiles and clothing, or conservatories of music and fine arts, comprehensive
They also support Sex University.
It's just that in the past year, there have been twenty colleges and universities. No matter the Donghua Association or other parties, there is no intention to establish new colleges and universities.
The thirty colleges and universities planned by Brian are still just plans, and it is not yet known when these ten will be completed.
Thinking of the two major groups, Donghua Petrochemical and Nanhua Petrochemical, which have been put into use one after another, plus Husky Energy Group, a subsidiary of Xinjian Huaying Holdings.
Kessos said: “Our government has always been very supportive of the establishment of universities, and has communicated with the Commonwealth countries many times to ensure that the degree certificates obtained by these universities can be recognized by the Commonwealth countries.
I also strongly support the establishment of the new urban area of Tianshui City as a gathering place for universities. Our government will soon plan an area specifically for the construction of universities based on the development situation of the new urban area of Tianshui City.
It’s just that our government’s financial resources are limited and it is impossible to build too many public colleges and universities. Therefore, in this regard, we have to rely more on people who are enthusiastic about education in Hong Kong. This aspect also requires more efforts from you, the parliamentarians.
For example, we in Xiangjiang have relatively scarce talents in the petrochemical field, so we can definitely establish a petrochemical university.
Also, although our records in Hong Kong sell well in Asia, we don’t have a professional music university in Hong Kong.
In addition, we in Xiangjiang are also weak in the area of agriculture and animal husbandry. Many companies in Xiangjiang have already entered this industry. In the future, there will be a large demand for talents and elites in this area. It is also very necessary to establish an agricultural university.
With the economic development of Hong Kong and the establishment of our district council, the demand for talents in the law and political departments is also increasing, and it is also necessary to establish a political and law university.
Of course, we also strongly support the establishment of other professional universities and comprehensive universities. There will be no problem in awarding bachelor's degrees. We will try our best to obtain master's degrees, and we will also provide assistance with doctoral degrees.
But these all require efforts by you, the members of the parliament, to persuade capital to establish universities. Without capital, no matter how much policy support our government has, it will not be possible."
Li Jianhui, Li Guobao and others didn't know that this was specifically told to them by Kesos. However, because the stock market has risen rapidly in the past six months, and major companies have issued additional shares in the stock market, they all have a lot of money.
of remaining money.
The Li family of Xinjian has Xinjian University, the Li family of Dongya has Dongya University, the Taikoo Shihuaiya family has Far Eastern University, the Li family of Changshi has Nanjiang University, and the Zheng family of New World Development has New Asia University.
Lei Juekkun, who is the newly elected leader of the third largest family in Hong Kong, and Zhang Guangwen, who is the leader of the fifth largest family in Xiangjiang, are also determined to establish a wholly-owned university of their own, which is why today's parliamentarians have spoken.
Therefore, after Kesos finished speaking, Lei Juekun said: "If the government has such a plan here, my Lei family is willing to contribute to the higher education in Hong Kong and establish a political, legal, civil engineering
, a comprehensive university focusing on finance and business management.”
Zhang Guangwen also said that if the government focuses on supporting the development of Tianshui City's new urban area, the Guanghua Zhang family is also willing to establish a comprehensive university here focusing on civil engineering, electronic information, accounting, agriculture and animal husbandry.
