Not to mention how the delegation headed by Shi Huaiya communicated with the high-level officials in the north. The rising prices these days have impacted all walks of life.

Public transportation is the first to make an effort. Kowloon Bus, New Territories Bus, and the three major taxi companies of Kowloon, New Territories, and Sun Hung announced to raise the starting fare at the same time.

Afterwards, China Power, Xiangjiang Power, Xiangjiang Gas, and China Gas also issued price increase announcements one after another.

The Bryan government also issued an announcement, and the subway also raised the starting price.

The common reason is that the high-speed economic growth of Hong Kong drives up labor costs, which also leads to rising business operating costs.

Just when the public is focusing on the price increase needed for production and living, the real estate industry is also undergoing changes quietly. 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 increase has also affected the retail industry, because the rapid increase in property prices this year has also put great pressure on the operating costs of these retail companies. In order to avoid damage to their own interests, they can only join this round of price increases.

The changes in the past few days have also deeply made Mr. Liao and Li Ju deeply understand what a pure businessman is. They did not expect that Li Jianhui's position would become so thorough.

It's just that they have nothing to do about the current situation, because these companies have very good reasons. According to the market, the fuse that caused this round of price increases is directed at the [-]-hectare limit.

Regardless of whether the business community is cheering for Shi Huaiya, or seeking greater benefits for themselves by setting off a wave of price increases, Mr. Liao and Li Ju deeply understand that they must take action and cannot allow the situation to spread, or they will end up The price will be unbearable.

……

"Old Liao, I heard that the public opinion on your side is raging, I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"

Mr. Liao, who was about to hold a meeting to discuss the current situation, was heartbroken when he received the call. He didn't expect the capital to inquire in person so soon, which is enough to see that the higher-ups also felt great pressure.

"Old leader, the current situation here is very complicated, several forces are playing games inside, and our influence is the weakest.

I believe you have read Jushen’s report a few days ago. You also know the strength and influence of Donghua Society. When Li Jianhui only planned to be a pure businessman, he could think of the current situation, and this is probably just the beginning , I am afraid that the follow-up will be more changeable and difficult to control.

To be honest, I don't have the slightest confidence to calm down the public opinion. I don't know what plans the higher-ups have. Are they willing to make concessions on the [-]-hectare area? "

"I also reported this matter to the old leader, and the reply I got was that this matter cannot be compromised, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Today they can force us to cancel the [-]-hectare limit through public opinion, and they may force us to cancel other aspects tomorrow. "

As soon as Mr. Liao heard it, he knew that this matter had become a deadlock. Because of their positions and interests, it was difficult for the two sides to talk to each other.

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 completely an insurmountable gap.

Because he watched Li Jianhui's rise from Tiujingling these years, and often dealt with Li Jianhui, he knew Li Jianhui's character too well.

The American consortium couldn't make it succumb, the Japanese consortium couldn't make it succumb, and they couldn't make it succumb either.

Although Li Jianhui cannot be blamed for today's situation, Li Jianhui played a significant role in it.

Now if it is said who can suppress public opinion the fastest, the only candidate is Li Jianhui, but it is a pity that Li Jianhui is obviously unwilling to stand up.

Although there are many thoughts in his heart, they are not very useful to the current situation, and he cannot explain to the old leader.

Facing the old leader who was 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 find an effective plan to calm the public opinion as soon as possible."

As Liao Lao's senior superior, how could the old leader not understand the meaning of Liao Lao's words? He also knew that this matter was a bit difficult for Liao Lao.

It's just that he doesn't have a good way to do it, and it's impossible to make concessions, and the public opinion must be calmed down as soon as possible, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.

"Old Liao, I know the difficulties you are facing. The most vicious jump this time is actually the heads of British-funded enterprises such as Shi Huaiya. Most of the heads of Chinese-funded enterprises chose to remain silent, which shows that these people have deep feelings for the country and the nation. Still have feelings.

You should communicate with them more, and make them understand the reason. At the same time, let them understand how big the market over there is, and how big our market is here, so that they don't lose the sesame seeds and lose the watermelons.

As for Li Jianhui, although the higher-ups hope that he can be an entrepreneur with a sense of social and national responsibility, since Li Jianhui wants to build a family like Morgan and Rockefeller, then the higher-ups are willing to see him as a pure businessman in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

But you have to tell him that since he is going to take such a path, we will not endorse it if the Tung Wah Club companies are targeted and suppressed by other countries in the future. "

Hearing this, Elder Liao sighed inwardly. From then on, they, Li Jianhui and even the Donghua Club would be strangers. The follow-up between the two parties was only in business, and he no longer had any reason to seek help from Li Jianhui based on emotion.

Moreover, Donghua will invest in him in the future, and he is not qualified to come to him again, even if the industry is transferred on a large scale, they will not be able to blame him.

He believes that in the next few years, Tung Wah Club companies will continue to increase investment in the cities of Johor Bahru, Rayong, Cebu, and Bandung. More than ten years later, those areas will be the foundation of Xinjian, especially Johor Bahru.

Because of his position, all Li Jianhui's rhetoric about Xiangjiang can only be turned into lies, and many promises will become a mirror in the water. After all, this place will eventually become a city with real estate and finance as its pillars.

Mr. Liao didn't know how to measure the gains and losses in the process. From the standpoint of the upper echelon, it was understandable to do so. It was also for the sake of future stability. The upper echelon would never allow businessmen to manipulate Zhengzhi.

If it is from the standpoint of ordinary citizens, if there is a choice, Mr. Liao knows the result very well, but it cannot be announced.

"Old leader, is there really no room for relaxation in this matter? Once the showdown is over, there will be no turning back.

Now there are still more than ten years to go, can we wait and see what will happen in the future? "

"Old Liao, I understand your thoughts, but there is no turning point. The Defense Department of Donghua Territory has been formally established, including land, sea and air, with the most advanced French fighter 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-in-arms of Chen Zhiyong who once 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, but Li Chen Yulian is Li Jianhui's wife, and her heir is Li Jianhui's eldest son, how can you turn back.

It is good for everyone to draw a line like this now. You have to understand that, no matter what, the Donghua Territory on the Indian Ocean is always British territory. Its diplomacy and national defense security are in British hands. Under special circumstances, The troops of the Donghua Territory were to be under the command of England.

When Li Jianhui chose such a layout, he should know what the consequences would be. This may be the reason why he told us a few days ago that he wanted to become a pure businessman. "

Mr. Liao really didn't receive this news. You must know that Li Chen Yulian just gave birth to Li Shuyue, and she is still in confinement. She didn't expect that a defense force had been formally formed in Donghua Territory, which also cut off the possibility of the two sides turning around. .
