Yu Li's childhood sweetheart and I in the courtyard

Chapter 158 On Living and Working in Peace with MacLehose

On this day, Yu Wei accompanied MacLehose to Lantau Island to inspect Hong Kong Disneyland.

After getting out of the car, Yu Wei accompanied MacLehose to climb up a small hill. Standing on the top of the hill and looking around, he saw that there were construction sites everywhere in front of him, and there were busy scenes everywhere.

"Sir Yu, how many people are building Disneyland here?" MacLehose asked Yu Wei, who was on the side.

"There are 2000 people building Disneyland and supporting facilities. In addition, there are more than 2000 people arranged by the Hong Kong government to build infrastructure." Yu Wei said.

"In other words, the projects here have fed [-] families!" MacLehose said.

"It directly feeds [-] families. But if you add related upstream and downstream suppliers, at least a few thousand, or even tens of thousands of families will be added." Yu Wei replied.

"It's not easy. Xiangjiang's economy has developed rapidly in the past few years, and Sir Yu has contributed a lot!"

"Sir Yu has any good suggestions for the development of Hong Kong's economy. Don't hide them, but talk more about them." MacLehose said.

"Mr. Governor, let me share some of my shallow opinions."

"Xiangjiang is small, but its geographical location is very good. If the citizens of Xiangjiang can live and work in peace and contentment, then Xiangjiang's economy and other aspects will basically be fine!"

"How to live and work in peace and contentment is both complicated and simple to say. It is complicated because you have to sort out the thousands of threads inside. To put it simply, you only need to make a fuss around these four words, then It's easy to solve!"

"First of all, let's talk about security. This is literally meaning. It is necessary to make the citizens of Xiangjiang feel safe. How can we make the citizens of Xiangjiang feel safe?"

"First of all, the social security is good! So how is the social security in Xiangjiang now? Mr. Governor must be very clear about this, so I won't say more!"

"As for housing, it is the biggest problem for the citizens of Hong Kong. Everyone wants to have their own property, their own house, but after all, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon have too many people and so little land, so what should we do?"

"My suggestion is, on the one hand, build more high-rise residences like our Fenghuang community in Xiangjiang and Kowloon. You saw it last time. Eight hundred of these high-rise buildings can accommodate and live in hundreds of thousands of people!"

"This is one of the reasons why I strongly suggested moving the airport to Lantau Island. The take-off and landing of a plane at Kai Tak Airport restricts the height of floors in most parts of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. High-rise residential buildings and high-rise office buildings cannot be built. To accommodate more residents and provide more office space.”

"The other is to attract people to live in the New Territories. Haven't the industrial parks and ten large communities I built already attracted tens of 10 people?"

"Let's talk about karma first. To put it simply, it means career. You have to have a career, which means you have a job. Where do jobs come from?"

"Developing industry, especially vigorously developing the manufacturing industry, but factories are the most able to provide jobs. If the industry is well developed and the industrial chain is complete, how many employment problems can one industry solve?"

"In terms of music, we can vigorously develop the entertainment industry, especially the film industry, so that Xiangjiang Oriental Hollywood is worthy of its name! And the Disneyland in front of us also includes this aspect."

"So I think that as long as the public security is good, the citizens have housing, the industry develops well, and the cultural, sports and entertainment aspects keep up, coupled with the well-developed air and shipping industry, financial industry, catering service industry, tourism, etc., the future of Xiangjiang will be Can be expected!"

Yu Wei was going to talk to MacLehose about the issue of industrial land later, so the topic naturally talked more about this aspect.

"Sir Yu said well about living and working in peace and contentment. The management of a place is indeed basically about making a fuss about living and working in peace and contentment." MacLehose pondered for a while, then raised his head and said.

"Since Sir Yu said that the industry should be vigorously developed, what suggestions do you have in this regard? Or do you need the help of the Hong Kong government to solve it?" MacLehose said.

"Mr. Governor, you also know that since the middle of this year, our TV sets have been engaged in a price war with competitors from all over the world. Although it is not yet completely over, we have already accounted for the majority of the market share of color TV sets. "

"But although we have seized a large market share, we have won it at the expense of our own profits."

"Since we have grabbed other people's TV market, the other party will definitely ask their country to subsidize their TV sets, especially Japan, which is very bad for me!"

"So my idea is that the Hong Kong government will grant some more industrial land to me and Changjiang Plastic Factory at a low price, so that we can expand the production scale again and further reduce the cost of TV sets."

"The second is to suggest that the Hong Kong government plan a large-scale industrial park and adopt a variety of preferential policies to allow more people to invest in the industrial park planned by the Hong Kong government. We will also support some orders for these companies and let them come. Work for us."

"In this way, we can further attract the citizens of Xiangjiang to work and live in the past. Revitalize the economy there and develop those areas."

"The third is that competitors have subsidies from their governments, which will put us at a disadvantage. So what I mean is, we apply to the Hong Kong government to give us tax incentives, so that we can be at the same level as our competitors."

"If the Hong Kong government gives us tax incentives, although the tax rate seems to be low, it is not. Although the tax rate is low, we sell more products, the volume is larger, and the base is larger!"

"In addition, the most important thing is that Xiangjiang has increased a large number of jobs and solved the living problems of more Xiangjiang citizens."

"The last one is to hope that the Hong Kong government will solve the infrastructure problems in the New Territories as soon as possible, as well as various supporting facilities, such as traffic problems." Yu Wei said.

"Sir Yu, what you said, I personally think it is feasible and reasonable, and it is also of great benefit to the development of Xiangjiang. Wait a few days, I will go back and discuss with people from various departments, and I will reply you as soon as possible!"

"Sir Yu, I've learned a lot from coming out with you today, and it's also a pleasure chatting with you!" MacLehose said.

A week later, the Hong Kong government approved [-] square kilometers of land in the New Territories at a super low price to Yu Wei and Li Chaoren for the construction of an industrial park.

Later, exports were encouraged, and all export products were exempted from taxes, but they had to be accounted for based on the customs declaration of the products overseas.

To put it simply, as long as the products you produce are exported to takeaway, the Hong Kong government will not collect all taxes on these products from you, but they are afraid that you will cheat taxes by exporting them back to the domestic market, so you are required to provide customs declaration documents for the destination of the goods. Let's prove it.

Then the Hong Kong government announced that it had designated a [-]-square-kilometer plot in the northern part of the New Territories to establish the Xiangjiang Industrial Park, which was led by the Hong Kong government. As long as it invested in the industrial park, the Hong Kong government had many other preferential policies.

Yu Wei immediately arranged for all his industrial companies to enter Xiangjiang Industrial Park and build branch factories, and announced to the public that people from all walks of life in Xiangjiang are welcome to invest in Xiangjiang Industrial Park and become suppliers of Phoenix Food, Phoenix Clothing and other companies.

For a while, people from all walks of life in Xiangjiang became excited and asked the Hong Kong government and Yu Wei's industrial companies for information. Soon many people began to invest and build factories in Xiangjiang Industrial Park.

The Hong Kong government then quietly established the Independent Commission Against Corruption before announcing its functions to the outside world.This was established three years earlier than what Yu Wei knew in his previous life.

Then, many police managements were transferred to England for training in batches, and all of them who were accused of corruption and extortion were basically alive!

As soon as these people were transferred, a group of young and well-known police officers were directly promoted to important positions. Among them, Ren Dahua's eldest brother, who is currently studying at the Academy of Performing Arts, was promoted several levels in a row and directly served as the leader of the Flying Tigers. People call him sir.

Seeing that the limelight was not right, the old fox Lei Luo left for the United States early in the morning, and Lan Jiang followed closely. The four detectives who had escaped in the previous life were the only two escaped at this time.

But the lard boy that Yu Wei is familiar with, in this life, followed Lei Luo and dragged his family to the United States first, and then followed Lei Luo to Luocaowan Bay.

Afterwards, Xiangjiang Stanley Prison began to be overcrowded. This time is different from the previous life. What kind of double red flower sticks, rudder masters, hall masters, and leading leaders? Enter Stanley Prison to enjoy his old age.

MacLehose made another big move before the Spring Festival. First, he built a large number of resettlement shacks around the Kowloon Walled City, and then announced that the Kowloon Walled City would be demolished.

On the original site and the surrounding plots, a total of [-] high-rise public housing complexes with [-] floors each will be built to house the people who used to be careless in the Kowloon Walled City and some Xiangjiang citizens who still live in shanty towns.

After the construction is completed, it is estimated that 24000 million families and about 10 people can be resettled.

He also informed the citizens of Xiangjiang in the Kowloon Walled City that they must move to resettlement shacks within three days, and that all old buildings in the Kowloon Walled City would be forcibly demolished after three days.

The vast majority of Xiangjiang citizens living in the Kowloon Walled City heard that there were high-rise public housing relocations, and they voluntarily moved to shacks for temporary living.

Three days later, the Hong Kong government directly dispatched a large number of military and police officers to advance layer by layer and check each building. During the process, the two sides fired shots and exchanged fire many times, and took the opportunity to capture many people who had been hunted down for many years.

After repeated inspections of the Kowloon Walled City, after confirming that no one was there, the Kowloon Walled City was directly blown into ruins by means of blasting.

After a series of actions, MacLehose's prestige in Xiangjiang has soared.

At this time, many people in Xiangjiang Industrial Park invested and built factories here, and various industrial companies under Yu Wei also moved in and opened branches.

This time, a lot of jobs were provided, which directly digested a large part of the many gang members who had lost their bandits and transformed them into workers.

However, the government demolished the Kowloon Walled City and built large-scale public housing to digest many people. As a result, before the Spring Festival, Xiangjiang appeared peaceful!
