The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 151
A fire caused thousands of people to be homeless. Although this incident did not happen in the Xinjian Department, it still attracted Li Jianhui's attention. He specially held a high-level meeting of the Xinjian Department, requesting that the company should focus on inspections of potential safety hazards that may exist in the company in the near future. , To discover one place and rectify one place.

On the second day of the fire, that is, on October 10, Li Jianhui asked his temporary assistant Zhou Jiayi to represent the Xinjian Department and donated materials worth 7 million Hong Kong dollars to these citizens who were homeless due to the fire.

At the same time, Jiashi conducted irregular live broadcasts on Longxiang Road, calling on all walks of life in Xiangjiang to pay more attention to and help the more than [-] people who are facing difficulties due to the fire.

As a qualified businessman, Li Jianhui naturally wouldn't just act as a good person. This sudden accident made him focus on the territory there.

Next, he will ask Jiashi to build momentum, drawing on the follow-up treatment of Shek Kip Mei in the past, hoping that the government will build a public housing estate on Lung Cheung Road.

On the one hand, it can improve the living environment of the citizens of Lung Cheung Road, and at the same time, it can free up a lot of land.

It's a pity that he is not the only one who is smart. With the rapid development of Xiangjiang's real estate industry today, land reserves have become an important indicator of the future potential of major real estate companies.

Lung Cheung Road, located in Wong Tai Sin District, is far superior to Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long and other places. It is closer to Kowloon City and has great development value.

On the day of Li Jianhui's donation, Jardine, Swire, Wharf, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hang Lung Group, etc. successively made moves.

Because of the generous donations from all walks of life, the pressure on the MacLehose government has been greatly relieved, and the affected citizens have received the fastest temporary resettlement.

In the Office of the Governor's Mansion, after listening to the report from the Department of Administration, MacLehose said: "The impact of this accident is very large. Fortunately, all the houses were burned down and no citizens were killed. You must do a good job in the aftermath. Avoid public opinion that is not good for us."

"Temporary relief is not a problem, but how long is it? In addition, there is a public opinion in the market now that our government will follow the example of Shek Kip Mei and build a public housing estate on Lung Cheung Road."

As the governor, MacLehose naturally has his own intelligence agencies to support him, and he can keep informed of the market trends in Xiangjiang at any time.

As for what these people are planning, he can also guess a little bit. Of the four wooden house villages on Longxiang Road, only one wooden house village needs more than enough area to build a public housing estate, and the other three can be used for commercial development. These capitalists are eyeing That's it.

Since these people want to enter the arena, MacLehose has no intention of chasing them away. If they want to get benefits, they have to pay some price.

He said to the Secretary for Administration: "These behind-the-scenes promoters are all for the land of Lung Cheung Road. In this regard, you should plan in the near future to invite major real estate companies in Xiangjiang to participate in the development of Lung Cheung Road.

There are three conditions. The first is that the development company must build a public housing estate on Lung Cheung Road for the government free of charge that can accommodate the residents of Lung Cheung Road.

Second, a school including primary and secondary schools must be built on Lung Cheung Road free of charge.

Third, build a Lung Cheung Road for free to connect with the main road in the urban area of ​​Wong Tai Sin and the urban first-class road.

Under the condition that the three conditions are met, the auction of the land on Lung Cheung Road starts at HK$1, and the highest bidder wins. "

Chief Executive Xia Dingji heard MacLehose's conditions and felt that there was no need to invite him. As soon as the news was released, the market would be calmed down immediately.

Here, the upfront investment is really too big. Take the Lung Cheung Road public housing estate as an example, 1253 households are needed. Even according to Li Jianhui's construction method in Tianshui City, hundreds of millions of funds are needed.

At the same time, schools and roads need at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. In such a period, I am afraid that no one will come back to be taken advantage of.

"MacLehose, is this too high a requirement? I think our government should be responsible for schools and roads, and let these businessmen fund the construction of public housing estates as much as possible."

"You don't have to worry about no one coming. Although the payment is a bit high, it is still within their tolerance. You should focus on communicating with the leaders of companies such as Xinjian, Wharf, China Resources, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Hang Lung. .

Maybe someone will invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in land to grow vegetables. It is said that the vegetables in Tin Shui Wai and Tseung Kwan O are growing well, and even Crawford supermarkets have vegetables from these two places. "

Xia Dingji couldn't understand why, the governor seemed ready to embarrass Li Jianhui again. It can be said that Tianshuiwei had brought the Xinjian Department into the pit, and continued to invest money in it, but the opening sales were extremely poor.

As a result, the Xinjian Department has been unable to develop Tseung Kwan O for a long time, and the land there can only be used to grow vegetables.

The Xinjian Department has been doing quite a lot these days, not to mention donating 500 million Hong Kong dollars in supplies, Jiashi here is full of news about the victims of the disaster in the wooden house area of ​​Longxiang Road at noon and at night.

It was Jiashi who called on the government to build a public housing estate for them. It was obvious that there were Li Jianhui's instructions behind it, and the purpose was nothing more than the land in the wooden house area on Lung Cheung Road.

"I'm afraid that the price will be too high this time, and Li Jianhui will not choose to enter the project again. Currently, the Xinjian Department does not have sufficient funds. If the Tianshui City project hadn't been supported by Huihong Group, it would be impossible to have the current construction speed."

This time, MacLehose also wants to test the capital chain of Li Jianhui's Xinjian Department. The Tin Shui Wai project is a bottomless pit, and the Huihongcheng project in Tseung Kwan O will start in full swing next year, with a planned investment of [-] billion Hong Kong dollars.

Now he still dares to come out to make trouble, and is ready to intervene in the wooden house area on Longxiang Road. Now he puts out the conditions to see if Li Jianhui dares to accept it.

He also wants to see how optimistic Li Jianhui is about the future of Xiangjiang. With so many land reserves, he is still not satisfied, and he is still increasing commercial and industrial land.

MacLehose insisted on transferring the land in the log house area on Lung Cheung Road under such conditions, but Xia Dingji had no choice but to do so.

After returning to the office, he immediately contacted the Land Planning Department by phone and asked them to sort out the land area of ​​the wooden house area on Longxiang Road.

At the same time, the spokesperson of the Department of Administration was asked to hold a press conference to explain the follow-up resettlement of the fire situation in the wooden house area on Longxiang Road.

It focused on the announcement of the three regulations set by MacLehose, and at the same time announced that the government will formally auction off the land in the wooden house area on Lung Cheung Road in three days.

No reporter cared about the starting price of the Hong Kong dollar. These conditions became the object of questioning by the reporters.

Especially the standards of public housing estates, the specific planning of roads, and a standard of schools.

According to the Shek Kip Mei side, the cost is relatively low. It is estimated that the construction of public housing estates can be completed at a maximum of [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

But if you start from saving land and learn about the construction of Tianshui City, the cost will be much higher, and it can't be done without [-] million.

The school is better, tens of millions is already an excellent school.

But the road is a pit, how many lanes are planned, and how long is it, which directly affects the amount of investment.

Although the wooden house area on Longxiang Road is known as four villages, its area is actually not too large, less than one-tenth of the area covered by the Tianshui City project. Although the location is better than that of Tianshuiwei, it is still a relatively remote area, and the government asks for a price If it is so high, it may be difficult to attract investment from real estate companies.
