History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 456
"Alo."

He Sheng made a reminder.

"Pull up a chair and sit down."

Lei Luo squinted and said, this sentence was a bit superfluous to others, Jiang Zuhui's face changed, and Lu Hantao didn't dare to sit down when he didn't hear He Sheng's words.He Dingxian continued to play cards, and asked nonchalantly, "Visiting on behalf of the New Territories?"

"Where do you rank in the Lu family, and you are also worthy to represent the New Territories?"

Lu Hantao said: "Mr. He, I am the third in the Lu family's house. Now I am in charge of the Lu family. The patriarchs of the ten surnames are all staying in the ancestral hall of Yangwu Village waiting for news. Please ask Mr. He to help a group of villagers in the New Territories. "

pat!

His knees gave way and he knelt on the ground.

He Dingxian didn't even look him in the eye, he played cards and said: "If you want help, you know how to ask for it. When you don't need help, the Lu family is very arrogant."

"Did you kill your boss?"

Lu Hantao knelt and replied, "No."

"Then seize power." He Dingxian glanced at him, guessing that the team leaders of the top ten surnames have been coerced, and it's hard to say how much of it is forced and how much is half-pushed.

Lu Hantao did not answer, expressing his acquiescence.

He Dingxian smiled and said: "The top ten surnames in the New Territories have never allowed outsiders to intervene. It is too late to ask me to help take care of the affairs of the New Territories. I advise you, cut the grass and root out, otherwise it will be easy to be liquidated. I accept the gift, Ah Gang, see off the guests !"

Lan Gang came to Lu Hantao's side, and said, "Mr. Lu, let's go."

"Mr. He."

"Mr. Lu knew he was wrong."

Lu Hantao knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head, and stepped his self-esteem into the mud: "Mr. He's conditions, Lu's all agreed, please Mr. He to help the New Territories out of trouble. The villagers in the New Territories can't afford the flames of war. If the war continues, the people of the New Territories going to die of poverty"

"Don't you want to be the local emperor of the New Territories?" He Dingxian took a cigarette from Zhu Youzai, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Lu Hantao: "Weifu is for his own use, and he says what he says, isn't it good?"

Lu Hantao was crying, very sincerely: "There are no emperors in the New Territories, no."

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, right? The Hong Kong government's tricks are playing on me. Let me tell you, there is no emperor on Hong Kong Island. If there is, it is not you!" He Dingxian was about to flick the soot, and the lard boy He grabbed Lu Hantao's head, pulled his face up, and said sharply, "Open your mouth."

Lu Hantao instinctively opened his mouth.

He Dingxian flicked the ash with his fingers unceremoniously, letting the ash fall into Lu Hantao's mouth. A little ash could not kill anyone, but it could crush Lu Hantao's dignity and shatter the pride of the New Territory.He wants an obedient and sensible New Territory that develops together, not a New Territory that is ruled by clans and closed to xenophobia.This point is consistent with Lu Hantao, it is beneficial to the people of the New Territory, but it is not good for the clan of the New Territory.Lu Hantao also understands how arrogant he was back then, and how despicable he must be now if he wants the big boss of the police force to take action.

The first is to let the big brother relieve his anger, the second is to show an attitude of admitting defeat, and the last is to return the last time.

"A New Territory dares to come out to pretend to be big, even if Hong Kong Island has an emperor, it must be brother Xian!" Cai Zhaoguang sneered beside him: "The emperor of Hong Kong Island, who cares about going to the New Territories?"

"It's up to you."

Lu Hantao quickly replied.

As long as He Dingxian intends to manage the New Territories, he must help the New Territories to pull the New Territories out of the quagmire of war.

He Dingxian stared at Lu Hantao for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I don't care if you really seized power, or you two brothers sang a play, in short, since I want to manage the New Territories, all the conditions are up to me. I will deal with Ding Quan's affairs." Fighting for you, but in the future, one-third of the Ding rights submitted for approval each year will be sold to me."

"I don't have to buy it, but you can't stop selling it, and you can accumulate it every year."

The Hong Kong government has always been stingy with land supply. Except for a few batches of land when the port was first opened, there are only three channels for real estate developers to obtain land. The first is to buy old buildings and rebuild them. The third is to purchase the housing area for approval.

The first two are relatively easy to operate, but the investment is large, while the third investment is small, with high returns, but the procedures are very cumbersome.It is mainly to take advantage of several "small house policies" promulgated by the Hong Kong government to purchase the resettlement housing area in the hands of demolished citizens, and then combine the areas together for unified declaration, and build a building according to the area.

Historically, the Hong Kong government has promulgated many "small house policies", and the right to the New Territories is only the most powerful and well-known one.There are still several plans A, B, C, and D. Among them, the C-level policy starts, and the small house area can be listed and traded.

Sun Hung Kai Properties is relying on the small area of ​​the demolished households to build buildings for sale, but it is very difficult to operate, and it needs to be worn out from one household to another. This shows Lee Shau Kee's business ability.Ding Quan has not been approved for listing and trading in history. It belongs to the land welfare that is tied to death by head. However, He Dingxian holds military power and is up for sale. He can negotiate with the Hong Kong government slowly. Use Ding Quan to build a building, but we have to see who dares to tear it down
If a policy is implemented crookedly from the very beginning, the majority will acquiesce in the end.
Lu Hantao showed bitterness on his face, and said, "Mr. He, you are about to eat up more than [-]% of the land of male generations in the New Territories when you open your mouth."

This [-]% is what people from the New Territories will exchange for land.

Lei Luo lifted his leather shoes and kicked him to the ground, cursing, "The boss didn't give you any money!"

"If you can handle the public opinion in the New Territories, you can decide what to do in the New Territories in the future!" He Dingxian looked at Lu Hantao with a smile, and played cards and said, "If you want to manage the New Territories well, you need people's support. We will support you together."

He looked around the crowd present: "Is it a bad deal for you?"

"it is good!"

Lu Hantao gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed: "I will go back and communicate with the ten surnames, and I will definitely do it for Mr. He. In the future, [-]% of the power in the New Territories will belong to the officers."

"okay."

"Don't keep kneeling, go back to the New Territories and be your boss." He Dingxian smiled and looked away, and continued to play cards with Lei Luo and others. The land price in the New Territories is actually very low now, and the development income is also low.

No one will buy it except people from the New Territories, but there is no need for people from the New Territories to buy it.

[-]% of the small rights, it must be the clan came out to support the distribution, each male is evenly divided, and under the premise that each household has a small house, the poor people in the New Territories are clanging, how can they spend money to buy commercial buildings?But he is not at all in a hurry to develop, and there are very few opportunities for large-scale land storage. The land storage area is written in the annual report of Huo Xiantang Real Estate. Shareholders are willing to buy stocks after seeing the increase in the storage area every year. The income that can be earned is more than one or two hundred million.

After ten or eight years, development will be carried out step by step, following the town reform in the New Territories.

Ten or 20 years later
People in the New Territories have money and are not satisfied with squeezing a small house, so they will naturally spend money to improve housing, and let the middle class buy it without exploiting the bottom class.

Ding Quan, who has been passed down from generation to generation, is the foundation of his He family from generation to generation.

Lan Gang pushed Lu Hantao, Lu Hantao staggered two steps, almost fell to the ground.Lan Gang felt that he was moaning, but he didn't expect that Lu Hantao knelt for more than ten minutes, his knee hurt a little, and he was distracted thinking about what Mr. He said just now.

Seeing that Lu Hantao left, Lei Luo still didn't feel satisfied, so he sneered and said, "It's really cheap to let him walk down the stairs step by step, we should let him jump downstairs."

"It's no use."

"We still have to rely on him to manage the New Territories."

He Dingxian looked at the deck of cards with a smile: "Where did you play just now?"

"Boss."

"You play your cards."

Jiang Zuhui smiled.

He Dingxian had just made a pair, and seeing that no one wanted it, he punched out a dragon without hesitation: "Pay the money."

"Pick up the money."

He said happily.

Lu Hantao sat in the rickshaw, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he felt.Sure enough, the people from the New Territories couldn't hide their tricks from the top police officers. In fact, he seized power after secretly discussing with the big bosses.After all, the New Territories could no longer bear it. Instead of letting outsiders liquidate Lu Hanming, it would be better for him to liquidate it.

At least Lu's power will continue to be in the hands of the long house, and it is far more beneficial for him to negotiate with the police force than the big boss negotiating with the police force. Back then, the big boss had torn faces with the police.In addition, he needs to lead the villagers of the New Territories out of their predicament, and the credit will be credited to him, and no one will pursue the big brother's fault anymore.

Although Lu Hanming will withdraw from the center of family power, his prestige and appeal will still remain in the Lu family's eldest house.Clan politics is also a kind of politics, and at critical moments, some small tricks are unavoidable.However, are He Dingxian's words implying that he needs to issue a nomination certificate?

Lu Hantao struggled in his heart.

Governor's Palace.

"Sir, the Military Intelligence Department has called, the Lu family in New Territories has sent people to He's house." The secretary stood at the door of the bedroom and reported in a low voice: "He Dingxian let people in and chatted for more than 20 minutes. "

Bai Liji was standing in front of the window, holding a cigar, and his first reaction was to bring him back for an interrogation, to see what the two parties talked about.

But he finally sighed and said, "Got it."

"Prepare a generous gift."

"Go to He Mansion again tomorrow."

New Territories has already bid ahead.

He does not follow the price.

Afraid of being thrown off the table.

Unfortunately, early the next morning, the border guard post discovered the cross-border incident. A total of more than 30 Baoan County militiamen entered the Sha Tau Kok area in plain clothes and armed, attempting to enter the New Territories through the Sha Tau Kok guard post.The sentry garrison and the militia started a firefight, and seven garrisons were killed, shocking the whole of Hong Kong!

TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations published the news one after another, declaring that "China and Britain exchanged fire." There was a heated discussion in the world, and Hong Kong Island became a hot spot, which further led to the stampede of British capital fleeing.

This is a friction event that really happened in history. It is the only time that the two countries misfired.The impact could not be described as drastic. There were even rumors that Bao'an was gathering troops, and that only the reconnaissance team appeared in Shatoujiao in the morning.

And the so-called Bao'an County militiamen are actually active soldiers who have taken off their uniforms. Once the news leaked out, they won the trust of the public. After all, the opposite party has used this trick before!
