The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 432
Xiangjiang in March ushered in the most comfortable season of the year. During this period, the average temperature of the weather was [-]-[-] degrees, neither cold nor hot, but this year there seemed to be a little more chill in the air.

In Bryan's office in the Governor's Mansion, Governor Bryan, Chief Executive Xosos, Financial Secretary Weems, and Attorney General Merk all quietly listened to the report of the head of Xiangjiang, MI[-].

From the frowning expressions of several people from time to time, it can be seen that the news obviously made them dissatisfied, especially a trace of anger appeared on Brian's face.

After the head of intelligence left, Bryan said in a deep voice: "It's really a big battle, and none of the Chinese families can be relied on, even the few major Chinese families in the Federation that we strongly support.

A lot of resources and benefits have been given, which has allowed its industry to develop rapidly in the past two years, but it is a white-eyed wolf who can't get enough to feed, and has no intention of standing on our side. "

"Bryan, getting angry can't solve any problems, and you have to know that these are the top businessmen in Xiangjiang, except for a few, they will not jump out to express their attitude.

The news this time is not too bad. In addition to many people from the Xianghua Club expressing their views, the helmsmen of the other families are also talking about the scene, and they are not biased towards that side.

I think now we mainly need to increase policy support for economic development, boost the confidence of citizens and enterprises, and let these families know that we have enough confidence in this place, so that the leaders of these families will not jump out and sing against us . "

After Xoss spoke, Weems and Merk also put forward their own suggestions one after another, beating some happy families on follow-up policies, vigorously supporting British-funded enterprises in policy, and canceling the restrictions on Chinese-funded families of the Federation. Policy support.

At the same time, accelerate the development of strategic layout, while promoting economic prosperity in the short term, it also reduces its ability to resist risks.

According to the local planning strategy, the main pillars of economic development here are real estate, finance, education, film and television media, tourism and consumer services.

As for the manufacturing industry, including the high-tech industry, which is not within the scope of their planning, starting this year, the Bryan government will no longer sell industrial land unless there are special circumstances.

In terms of commercial land, it also focuses on the sale of office building and shopping mall development land, and reduces its proportion in the sale of residential land development land.

At the same time, the conditions for settling in Xiangjiang will be relaxed, and the growth of the permanent resident population in Xiangjiang will be accelerated. The preliminary plan is to increase the population by [-] per year.

In terms of film and television media, entry permits are fully liberalized. As long as they abide by the same rules as these current film and television media companies, the government will not set a threshold.

Fully support Central, Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, Tin Shui Wai, Tseung Kwan O, and Sha Tin to build the six commercial districts of Hong Kong, making Hong Kong a world-class consumer city.

In terms of education, in addition to the [-] colleges and universities with undergraduate degrees and above that have been put into use and are under construction, [-] more colleges and universities with undergraduate degrees will be allocated for investment by Xiangjiang Capital, which has the desire to run schools. Construction, so that Xiangjiang has [-] colleges and universities with undergraduate degrees and above.

As for the fact that there are too many colleges and universities, resulting in a reduction in the number of students and running schools, this is not within the scope of Brian and others' consideration.

Anyway, they will not restrict people from all over the world to study in Xiangjiang. Whether they can recruit students at that time is a matter for each school.

At the same time, these international students from colleges and universities are also an important way to increase the permanent population of Xiangjiang. Most of them who can come to study here are from relatively wealthy families. After all, there are not many charities or student foundations to help those outstanding students come to study in Xiangjiang. After all, these universities in Xiangjiang are far from being able to compare with some universities in the United States, England and Japan.

In terms of finance, Xiangjiang is currently developing fairly well, especially after the financial reform was implemented during the MacLehose government, Xiangjiang's financial industry has developed very rapidly, and they don't need to add more things to the snake.

Attorney General Merkel is obviously not willing to be a foil. Although economic development has little to do with his Department of Justice, he also put forward some of his own views on the follow-up development.

"With the rapid economic development in the past few years, we should protect the labor rights and interests of citizens. I propose to introduce a minimum hourly wage standard. As for the specific amount, I suggest to set up a minimum hourly wage committee to be responsible for research in this area and formulate."

Bryan, Kesos, and Wilms are very clear that once this policy is implemented, it will accelerate the withdrawal of low value-added and labor-intensive industries.

However, several people have different opinions on whether to introduce this policy. Financial Secretary Wilms said: "Although this policy is indeed conducive to the relocation of those low value-added enterprises in the short term, in the long run, it is inconsistent with our strategy. support or oppose."

Brian also did not agree with Merk's suggestion. After all, in their plan, they mainly wooed and safeguarded the interests of these Chinese-funded families, rather than safeguarding the interests of the bottom citizens.

Once they leave, the more squeezed these companies are, the greater the conflict between the helm of these companies and the north will be.

As the chief executive officer, although Xoss hopes that the economy under his rule can maintain rapid growth, he is only in charge of local development work for a long time. How can he not know that the implementation of these policies will only form a short-term superficial prosperity, and he is like that dazzling bubble. It will be broken at the touch of a finger, and it will fall into crisis with a little trouble.

But the local will must be implemented, even though he is very clear that once these policies are implemented, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent economic development, he still agreed to do so.

He only hopes that he can be transferred back to the mainland in three to five years, so that he will still have good political achievements in his hands. If he stays for more than ten years like his predecessor Xia Dingji, he is afraid that the label of incompetence will be worn by then. on his own head.

After returning to the office building of the Administration Division, Kesost held a department meeting on purpose to convey the plan discussed by the few of them, and asked the relevant departments to make relevant plans and make an official announcement within this month.

Especially in terms of colleges and universities, Xoss is quite open this time. The government transfers the land at a low price, and the government does not make strict requirements on the location of the school. If the other party has sufficient capital, the government will not have it even if it is built in Central Opinion.

In addition, in terms of settlement, Xoss also put forward new requirements for the Immigration Department, giving priority to those who come to Hong Kong to study and engage in finance, tourism, film and television media, education, and medical treatment.

From this year onwards, until no new policy comes out, the annual increase in the number of permanent residents shall not be less than [-].

In view of the lack of tourism resources available to citizens in Xiangjiang, within this year, the government will focus on planning and supporting the construction of a number of tourist attractions.

At the same time, since Hong Kong's foreign personnel exchanges are mainly based on air transportation, the government will increase support for Hong Kong Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Kowloon Airlines, especially in terms of routes, and will further liberalize them.

In addition, the expansion of Kai Tak Airport will be put on the agenda to meet the increasing passenger flow of the airport, and at the same time, it can also promote the development of Hong Kong's tourism economy and consumer economy.

Those present here sounded different, especially those who were closely related to several major consortiums, and they were all thinking about how much benefit these policies could bring to these consortiums and themselves.
