Chapter six hundred and ninety third upper-level decision
Not to mention how the delegation headed by Shi Huaiya communicated with the northern high-level officials, the rise in prices in recent days has affected all walks of life.
The first to make an effort is public transportation. Kowloon Bus, New Territories Bus, and the three major taxi companies in Kowloon, New Territories, and Sun Hung also announced increases in starting prices.
Afterwards, China Electric Power, Heungkong Electric Power, Heungkong Gas, and China Gas also issued price increase announcements one after another.
The Bryan government also announced that the subway has also increased its starting price.
The common reason is that Hong Kong's rapid economic growth has led to an increase in labor costs, which has also led to an increase in corporate operating costs.
Just as citizens are focusing on the rising prices for production and living needs, the real estate industry is also quietly changing. Many real estate prices have begun to increase, especially in the surrounding areas where there are real estate developments under the Tung Wah Association.
This price rise has also affected the retail industry, because the rapid surge in property prices this year has also put great pressure on the operating costs of these retail companies. In order to avoid damaging their own interests, they can only join this round of price increases.
The changes in the past few days have deeply made Mr. Liao and Li Jueshen understand what a pure businessman is. They did not expect that Li Jianhui's stance would become so thorough.
It's just that they have no solution to the current situation, because these companies have very good reasons. According to the market, the trigger for this round of price increases points directly to the fifty-hectare limit.
Regardless of whether the business community is cheering for Shi Huaiya, or is seeking greater benefits for itself by setting off a wave of price increases, Mr. Liao and Li Jue understand that they must take action and cannot allow the situation to spread, otherwise they will end up
The price will be unbearable.
…
"Lao Liao, I heard that there is a raging public opinion over there. I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"
Mr. Liao, who was originally preparing to hold a meeting to discuss the current situation, felt his heart sink when he received the call. He did not expect that the capital would inquire in person so quickly, which was enough to show that the superiors were also feeling great pressure.
"Old leader, the current situation here is very complicated. Several forces are competing in it, and our influence is the weakest.
I believe you have read Jueshen’s report a few days ago, and you are also aware of the strength and influence of the Donghua Society. When Li Jianhui only planned to be a pure businessman, he could have imagined the current situation, and I am afraid that this is just the beginning.
, I am afraid that the follow-up will be more volatile and difficult to control.
To be honest, I don’t have the slightest confidence in calming the public opinion at the moment. I wonder what the higher-ups have planned and whether they are willing to make concessions on the fifty hectares?”
"I also reported this matter to the old leader, and the reply I received was that we cannot give in on this matter, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Today they can force us to cancel the fifty-hectare limit through public opinion, and tomorrow they may force us to cancel other aspects."
As soon as Mr. Liao heard this, he knew that this matter had become a dead end. Because of their positions and interests, it was difficult for both parties to reconcile.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to continue to hold this position. The current situation can no longer be said to be difficult, it is simply an insurmountable gap.
Because he had watched Li Jianhui rise from Tiu Keng Leng over the years and often interacted with Li Jianhui, he knew Li Jianhui's character very well.
The American conglomerate failed to make it surrender, and the Japanese consortium also failed to make it surrender. They also cannot make it surrender.
Although Li Jianhui cannot be blamed for today's situation, Li Jianhui played a significant role in it.
Now, if we say who can suppress public opinion the fastest, the only candidate is Li Jianhui. Unfortunately, Li Jianhui is obviously unwilling to stand up.
Although I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, they are of little use to the current situation, and I am also unable to explain it to the old leader.
Facing the old leader waiting for his response on the other side of the phone, Mr. Liao said in a slightly low voice: "Please rest assured, old leader, I will definitely come up with an effective plan to calm the public opinion as soon as possible."
As Mr. Liao's senior superior, the old leader couldn't understand the meaning of Mr. Liao's words. He also knew that this matter was a bit difficult for Mr. Liao.
It's just that he doesn't have a good way to do this. It is impossible to make concessions, and public opinion must be calmed down as soon as possible. No matter how difficult it is, it must be completed.
"Lao Liao, I know the difficulties you are facing. The ones who are most affected this time are actually the heads of British-funded enterprises such as Shi Huaiya. The vast majority of the heads of Chinese-funded enterprises choose to remain silent, which shows that these people have deep feelings for the country and the nation.
There are still feelings.
Communicate more with them, be emotional and rational, and at the same time let them understand how big the market is over there and how big our market is, so that they don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
As for Li Jianhui, although the authorities hope that he can be an entrepreneur with social and national responsibilities, since Li Jianhui wants to build a family like Morgan and Rockefeller, then the authorities are willing to see him become a pure businessman in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
But you have to tell him that since he wants to take this path, we will not endorse Tung Wah Association companies if they are targeted and suppressed by other countries."
Mr. Liao sighed deeply when he heard this. From now on, they, Li Jianhui and even the Donghua Association will be strangers. The two parties will only discuss business in the future, and he no longer has any reason to seek help from Li Jianhui emotionally.
Moreover, in the future, Donghua will invest and he will not be qualified to come to their door again. Even if the industry is transferred on a large scale, they will not be able to accuse them.
He believes that in the next few years, Tung Wah Association enterprises will continue to increase investment in Johor Bahru, Rayong, Cebu, and Bandung. In a dozen years, those areas will be the foundation of the Xinjian system, especially Johor Bahru.
Because of his position, all Li Jianhui's rhetoric about Xiangjiang can only turn into lies, and many of his promises will become mirror images. After all, this city will eventually become a city with real estate and finance as its pillars.
Mr. Liao didn't know how to weigh the gains and losses. From the standpoint of the upper class, it was understandable to do so. This was also for the sake of future stability. The upper class would never allow businessmen to manipulate political governance.
If he were from the standpoint of an ordinary citizen, if he had a choice, Mr. Liao would know the outcome very well, but he couldn't make it public.
"Old leader, is there really no room for easing this matter? Once the showdown is made, there will be no turning back.
There are still more than ten years to go, can we wait and see what changes will happen in the future?"
"Old Liao, I understand what you are thinking, but there is no turning around. The Defense Department in Donghua Territory has been formally established, including land, sea and air. It has France's most advanced fighter aircraft Mirage 2000, British active-duty destroyer frigates, and German active-duty army equipment.
Leopard 2 tank.
Governor Li Chen Yulian personally served as the minister, and Liu Lifeng, a comrade of Chen Zhiyong who had served as the chief of staff of a certain regiment, served as the deputy minister and chief of staff, responsible for daily affairs.
Although Li Jianhui did not hold any position in the Donghua Territory, Li Chen Yulian is Li Jianhui's wife, and his heir is Li Jianhui's eldest son. How can you turn around?
It is good for everyone to draw the line now. You have to understand that no matter what, the Donghua Territory in the Indian Ocean is always British territory, and its diplomacy and national defense security are in British hands. Under special circumstances,
The Donghua Territory troops were under British command.
When Li Jianhui chose this layout, he should have known the consequences, which may be why he told us a few days ago that he wanted to become a pure businessman."
Mr. Liao really had not received the news. You must know that Li Chen Yulian had just given birth to Li Shuyue and was still in confinement. Unexpectedly, a defense force had been formally established in the Donghua Territory, which also cut off the possibility of the two sides turning back.
