The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 450 Poison Policy
In the governor's mansion, after listening to Xoss' report, Brian did not immediately make a decision, but asked Xoss for his opinion.

"Bryan, I am also aware of some of London's local plans. Due to the tough attitude there and the threat of the Red Soviet Union, we may find it difficult to keep this side.

It's just that this time it's a bit special, and it's not just about the nature of land development. If we can't resettle these disaster-stricken villagers, it will be very unfavorable to us and even the local people in terms of international public opinion.

I personally prefer to assign the land to Li Jianhui. Although Li Jianhui and the others will also build residential buildings, this time they will develop mid-to-high-end residential buildings with commercial facilities. The residential density will not be too high, and the number of residential buildings will be reduced accordingly. "

Brian was not surprised that Xoss was more inclined to Li Jianhui. He knew very well that even with local restrictions, Xoss, Li Jianhui and even the members of the East China Association were still relatively close.

Fortunately, the local side feels that there is little hope of keeping this side, which makes Xoss afraid to keep in line with the development plan of the Xinjian Department on some policies.

This year he introduced a number of policies in order to increase the resident population on a large scale, while at the same time restricting housing construction, in order to leave a mess in the future.

This time, Li Jianhui's plan was obviously not in line with Brian's plan, and it could even be said to run counter to it. On the contrary, it was Li Zhaoji's plan, which was quite in line with his plan.

After thinking for a while, Brian said: "Xos, you are also aware of the current economic situation. If Li Jianhui wins the land of the third village of Lantian, I am afraid that it will not be developed in a short time. From the land in Tin Shui Wai, North District, Da Pu, and Tseung Kwan O, it can be seen that the vegetables grown on the land under the Tung Wah Association in these places are quite good.

On the contrary, Sun Hung Club, because it is building a commercial complex, as long as the land is obtained, the other party will immediately develop it, which will greatly promote economic development. I think it is better to hand over the land to Sun Hung Kai. "

Xoss didn't have too many disputes with Brian on this, and he didn't want to follow in Xia Dingji's footsteps.

As Brian said, the entry of several major real estate properties under Sun Hung Club will also have a boost to the economy.

As for the work of the villagers in the third village of Lantian, it is up to Xinhonghui to do so, and the government is not a nanny, so it is impossible to arrange work for them.

Seeing that Xoss agreed, Brian was very happy in his heart, and Brian didn't want to have too much dispute with Xoss if it was not necessary.

It's a pity that he wasn't happy for long, and what Xos said next gave him a headache.

"Bryan, due to the impact of this year's economy, land transfers are less than expected, coupled with our large-scale infrastructure construction such as subways and roads, as well as the construction and maintenance of many universities, and the increase in labor costs this year, there has been a lot of financial problems. The problem.

In order to increase our fiscal revenue, we need to add some favorable policies and at the same time increase the supply of land auctions. "

In the [-]s, the government only needed to maintain the development of Hong Kong University and Hong Kong Chinese University, but now it has added Hong Kong Polytechnic, Hong Kong Science and Technology, Xiangjiang City, and Xiangjiang Normal University under construction. The funding for this has increased several times.

In terms of subway, even if these real estate companies purchase the property development rights on the station at a high price, the government still needs to invest a lot of money.

The past two years were good, and major real estate companies rushed to buy the land, but this year, due to economic and political factors, not many real estate companies participated in the land auction, and the transaction price was far lower than expected.

With the ever-increasing expenses on the one hand and the ever-decreasing fiscal revenue on the other, Kesos has little confidence in the administrative department's funding until the end of the year.

There are only two methods now, one is to increase the amount of land sold to increase income, and the other is to increase the budget funds for this year from the administrative department to the administrative department.

It’s just that Xoss is very clear that it is very difficult to increase funds from the financial secretary, so he just asked Brian to increase the amount of land transfers.

"Xoss, I understand that you are dissatisfied with the transfer of Hong Kong's tax revenue to the Financial Secretary, but you can't just focus on the one-third of an acre of land in your Administrative Department.

Your administrative department’s annual budget is quite sufficient. Even if the land transfer is reduced this year, it will not affect the development plan of the administrative department this year.

Moreover, the Financial Secretary is in charge of Hong Kong's taxation, which is no longer subject to the control of the Administrative Department.

It is also not possible to increase land transfers. Now we mainly implement special land supply, and we will make special requirements on the nature of development, so as to realize our plan.

Unless there is a new local order, otherwise I will not change the current development policy, and I will definitely not give a large amount of residential land to the real estate companies under Donghuahui and Xianghuahui.

Moreover, your administrative department should further relax the conditions for settlement, and at the same time reduce the conditions for the establishment of colleges and universities, so that Xiangjiang colleges and universities will reach [-] as soon as possible, and the annual population will increase by more than [-]. "

Even if Xos knew that Bryan's policy was quite poisonous, he had to implement it. After all, he was from England, so he naturally wanted to take the position of England.

After returning to the Administration Department, Kesost deliberately held a high-level meeting of the Administration Department to convey some of Bryan's policies, and at the same time learned about the recent bids for colleges and universities.

At present, there are 14 colleges and universities that have been put into use and have been rebuilt and approved, including 8 public colleges, 3 private colleges, [-] under the Donghua Association, [-] under the Nanjiang Association, Xianghua, Xinya, and Xinhong. One for each conference.

The potential of several major consortiums in this area has almost been exhausted. If they want to continue to increase colleges and universities, they must first invest from the government, and in other words, they must find more foreign capital.

However, Kesos is still planning to squeeze the potential of several major consortiums. He said to the person in charge of the Education Department: "You can contact Polygram, Jiayi Group, EMI Records, Far East Media and other companies to find out whether they are willing to establish Hong Kong Conservatory of Music.

At the same time, I also contacted Jiayi Culture, Far East Media, Xinhong Media, etc. to see if these companies are willing to establish the Xiangjiang Academy of Fine Arts.

In addition, contact the two major groups of Hongyu Clothing and Xinyang Clothing to see if they are willing to establish Xiangjiang Fashion Design Institute.

You should also take the initiative to attack some academies with a certain foundation and strength, and you can also upgrade them to universities, and strive to complete the [-] colleges and universities plan within this year. "

On the settlement of foreign personnel, Xoss also made another request, giving priority to foreign students and white-collar workers who come to Xiangjiang to do business and enterprises to settle down, and to open special immigration channels for the Commonwealth and ASEAN to increase the population of Xiangjiang.
