The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

In residential areas planned by the state, infrastructure such as roads and water and electricity pipe networks will be completed simultaneously.

Without planning land, the money to build these infrastructures will have to be funded by the units planning to build their own houses, and the overall construction costs will soar.

The money that could have been used to build 10 buildings was only enough to build 5-7 buildings.

Under such circumstances, many employees may not agree to use employee welfare fund money to build houses.

Master Zhang said bitterly: "Both Team Leader Qiu and Deputy Team Leader Du have gone out to look for housing projects."

"However, the number of construction projects has dropped significantly. Some construction companies in the city have no projects, so it is difficult for us to get our turn."

“Many construction teams from communes and production teams have disbanded and returned to their hometowns because they have no work to do.”

Li Ming comforted him and said, "Don't worry, there will be work in the processing factory next spring, and the machinery branch in the factory will probably keep you busy for a few months."

"Infrastructure investment may be resumed in the middle of next year, and by then we will also be able to receive housing construction projects from the city."

Master Zhang has nothing to say, "It would be great if there are new projects coming out."

67年开复工的建筑面积只有66年的一半，65年的三分之一。建筑企业的用工人数也从12.3万人减少到10.5万人。

The most fundamental reason for promoting the "do-it-yourself" spirit is the lack of money. The emphasis on hard work is just to make everyone look better.

Houses built in the dry-battery style do not have heating, screen windows, bathrooms, etc. Even the thickness of the exterior walls has been reduced by 12 centimeters. A large number of hollow walls are used to reduce the demand for building materials.

As the name suggests, the hollow wall has a hollow in the middle, and the overall look is similar to a wall built with hollow bricks.

Hollow bucket walls have better load-bearing capacity and earthquake resistance than hollow brick walls, so there is no problem in building 1-3 storey buildings.

The process is more complex and time-consuming, using labor to offset the shortage of materials.

There may be many reasons for many things and practices today, but the essence is still a lack of funds.

Port city.

Federal Building, Central.

The wealthy Lou Xiao'e got a new loan.

Financial loans, used skillfully, can put individuals, companies, and countries on the path to rapid development.

The take-off of Ou Mei was based on local financial expansion supported by colonial profits, allowing the whole society to develop rapidly with financial support.

Some economists believe that Ou Mei does not engage in any exploitation. It relies on the basic system constructed of local government bonds, corporate bonds, railway and other infrastructure bonds, and uses funds provided by stocks, bonds, loans and other credit expansion methods to carry out construction and then use Development achievements achieved by product advantages and marketing around the world.

They also did not think about the fact that both the Venetian national debt in 1262 and the Yingguo national debt in 1693 were issued to raise military expenses for combat.

The essence of such a war is to plunder the other party's wealth.

Without the huge amount of wealth plundered and the high rate of return, there would be no flourishing development of the financial market.

Expanding credit requires paying interest, which is generally not cheap. For example, the Yingguo Central Bank's discount interest rate (the interest rate on loans to commercial banks) will soon rise from 6.5% to 8%.

In 1967, bank loan interest rates in Hong Kong City were relatively low. Due to vicious competition in the banking industry in 1964 to freeze deposit interest rates, all banks in Hong Kong City signed an "Interest Rate Agreement."

外资银行的存款利息上限为3个月定存利率5%、6个月4.75%、12个月5%。

本地银行分为A1、A2、B1、B2四大类，可以在外资限额之上增加0.75%、1.25%、1.5%、1.75%，上限就这么多，也可以不加。

If bankers can honestly sit down and negotiate such an agreement, you don't need to think about it to know that it is organized by HSBC. The settlement of bills between banks in Hong Kong is all done through interest-free accounts opened at HSBC. Without this account, the bank will be gone. Fund transactions between peers are prohibited.

No matter which bank you are in, companies like Xingchen Company with abundant cash flow, huge profits, and extremely low debt are the best major customers.

Xingchen Company ignored various rumors in the market and negotiated loans with various banks to enter the real estate market, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Tang Hongde, the manager of the gift company, reported: "Dr. Lou and Consultant Huang are not in Hong Kong City. They came to me in droves to inquire."

"I would like to ask our company's views on the future development of the port city."

Lou Xiao'e asked strangely: "What's there to ask?"

"We have all spent real money to enter the market. If we are not optimistic about it, won't our money be wasted?"

Tang Hongde smiled and replied: "The majority of people are running away. The Xinjia Singapore branch has reported that we met many rich people from the port city in Xinjia Singapore."

"I guess those who asked me were feeling guilty and wanted to cheer each other up."

Lou Xiaoe said carefully: "We can announce to the outside world that no matter who manages the port city, we will increase investment in the port city, create jobs for the port city, and allow our employees to live a dignified life."

Tang Hongde said with a smile: "With your words, it will be easier for me to ventilate to the outside world."

"Today is a good day for the ribbon-cutting of the Lion Rock Tunnel, but our company did not send anyone there."

"Coupled with the fact that we don't accept pounds, there are some rumors that our company is dissatisfied with the Hong Kong government and Yingguo. Your words can just dispel the rumors."

Now that the conversation has come to this, Lou Xiao'e said a few more words, "Although the main reason why I won't attend and won't let you attend is the high security risk, Director Li and I are indeed very dissatisfied with the Hong Kong government and Yingguo."

"If everyone in Hong Kong could live and work in peace and contentment, no one would take to the streets."

"In the past few months, people in To Kwa Wan have just followed the trend. The real primary reason is that the people's livelihood problems in the Hong Kong city have not been solved."

"If the Hong Kong government does not change its existing policies, even if this incident can be calmed down, there will be another incident in the future."

Tang Hongde smiled and echoed: "What you said makes sense. It is true that they did something wrong."

Lou Xiao'e revealed: "After the industrial exhibition in December, Director Li and I will write a letter to the Hong Kong Governor, members of the Legislative Council and the Municipal Council, suggesting that they improve various people's livelihood policies."

When you become rich and powerful, your words begin to be listened to, and you have the responsibility and obligation to speak out.

Because Li Ming's vest Li Buren is not suitable for public appearances and it is impossible to speak out publicly, it is still possible to give suggestions in the form of private letters.

Tang Hongde hesitated and said: "Is this appropriate? Will they mistakenly think that our company supports the To Kwa Wan group?"

Lou Xiao'e said nonchalantly: "The reason why I stayed so long is to polish the manuscript more."

"Argument with solid evidence. If the other party still misunderstands, then let them misunderstand."

The company's performance is getting better and better, and Lou Xiao'e has become more and more confident in speaking recently.

The entry of large sums of money into the real estate market is also needed by the Hong Kong government to strengthen market confidence.

Yingguo's single-month foreign trade deficit in October was 10 million pounds, a record high. It was difficult for the local government to protect itself and there was no extra power to invest in the port city.

Same with the Commonwealth.

Australia is more than 9000 miles away.

Bloom.

A convoy of pickup trucks, cars and other vehicles returned to the farm.

Huang Fuyi, the public relations consultant of Xingchen Company, came forward and asked, "Ah Hai, is everything going well?"

Ah Hai laughed proudly and said: "We beat that group of rubbish until they were unable to fight back, and our line will be unobstructed from now on."

Huang Fuyi asked with a smile: "Are any of the brothers injured? I have arranged for a doctor." The smile on Ahai's face disappeared, "Luckily, the injuries this time are not serious."

"Thousands of miles away, we can't afford to delay. The injured brothers have already had their wounds treated in Port Hedland."

'Hairong Labor Service Company' fought a battle with the gangs in Port Hedland and used their strength to win over each other.

That is because it is too far away, there are insufficient manpower and there is a language barrier, otherwise 'Hairong Labor Service Company' could directly occupy the territory of Port Hedland.

Huang Fuyi also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I won't interfere in whatever way you plan your internal affairs."

"Director Li will never let people who work hard suffer. If you make a list of injured and outstanding personnel, you will get an extra bonus."

A Hai smiled and said politely: "This will cost Director Li money again."

Huang Fuyi said with a smile: "Dong Li's family has a great business and is not short of money."

"I heard when I came out that the company is expected to make a profit of US$200 million in Magnesia in the past two months, which is more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars."

It's too far beyond that and people can't be jealous at all, only deep envy.

"As long as you follow Director Li, brothers will make a fortune sooner or later." Ahai turned his head and raised his arms to the younger brothers and shouted: "Everyone has a big house."

"Everyone has a big house!" the younger brothers shouted excitedly.

Huang Fuyi laughed and said: "Not only will there be a big house, but there will also be cars and money."

The atmosphere was enthusiastic, and everyone shouted: "Pickets, cars, tickets!" "Cars, tickets, tickets!"

Huang Fuyi said to Ah Hai: "The celebration banquet is ready. Let's talk about something after drinking."

Ahai said with a bright face: "I will follow your arrangement."

These people are risking their lives and must be given enough money.

Moreover, the small gangs in Port Hedland that we are dealing with now are just an appetizer. In the future, we will have to deal with the big gangs in cities like Perth and Sydney. There are tough battles to be fought.

Only when the credibility of the bonus is established can the younger brothers really work hard.

The Ming Dynasty is a living example, "The Ming army is not satisfied with the pay, but if it is full of pay, it is invincible. Where can there be full pay, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty will be closed." '

How much money will be given to fight as many wars as possible.

Looking through the history books, it has been like this for five thousand years.

If the pay and silver are sufficient, the soldiers will use their lives, and the battle will be invincible.

In Australia, Li Ming planned to use gangs to explore the road first. After getting rid of the local forces, he would send people from the security company there to reorganize and formalize the situation.

As the territory becomes larger, Australia can also build training bases and turn security companies into security companies. When the Australian government plans to use violence, it will have the strength to fight back.

Australia has a small population and a small number of troops. The total number of land, sea, air and reserve forces is less than 10.

By then, it’s still unclear who will hit whom!

After having enough wine and food, Huang Fuyi and A Hai drank tea in the room.

Huang Fuyi whispered: "I'm going back to Hong Kong City in the next two days. You can settle the situation here and return to Hong Kong City as soon as possible."

Ah Hai's mind came to his mind, "Are the weapons from the Magnesium people coming to the port city?"

Huang Fuyi nodded and said: "Manager Xu Zhiyong sent a telegram for Arong."

"Tell Arong to read more books. The fewer people who handle such a confidential matter, the better."

Ah Hai smiled bitterly and said: "My brother really doesn't have the brains to study. But he is very careful in doing things. He will do whatever he is asked to do and will not be sloppy."

"There is nothing going on in Australia for the time being. I plan to let Shaqiang take charge of Australia's affairs. He has made great contributions in this charge and is qualified to sit in this position."

"I will go back to Hong Kong City to select some trustworthy people to work on and straighten things out in Hong Kong City."

Huang Fuyi waved his hand and said: "Director Li has told me that no one likes a tyrannical father who is gesticulating on his head."

"You can arrange your internal affairs, I won't interfere."

Ah Hai lowered his attitude and said, "Without your help, Director Li would never remember who I am, Ah Hai."

"I need Consultant Huang to help me with many things."

It is both flattery and truth. As the middle person, Huang Fuyi can be said to play a decisive role.

'Hairong Labor Service Company' was able to grow bigger and stronger because of Li Ming's support in the name of information fees in the early stage.

He recruited soldiers and horses in the port city to seize a larger territory. When he raised more brothers and encountered financial difficulties, Li Ming took action to provide the port city with a money-making project of exporting labor services to Australia.

Especially Li Ming, except not allowing them to sell drugs, there was basically nothing they needed to do.

As long as you do something, you will get a bonus, and there is no need to fight with other gangs for a source of funds. From Ah Hai's point of view, it is the support of noble people along the way.

Huang Fuyi suggested: "Although I don't quite understand the reason, I know that Director Li attaches special importance to Australian affairs."

"The company's main focus now is on promoting the watch business and bargain-hunting real estate in Hong Kong cities, but once these two things are straightened out, it will definitely enter Australia in a big way."

"Your task will be particularly heavy at that time. Just don't let me get in trouble."

The task is heavy, which means the bonus is large. Ah Hai promised: "Don't worry, I am always cautious in doing things, and I will never slip up."

"Director Li bought real estate in Hong Kong City at a low price and then came to invest in real estate in Australia. Is this because he wants to have double insurance?"

After drinking some wine at the celebration banquet, Huang Fuyi felt relaxed and said, "It's not double insurance. Director Li has always been optimistic about Hong Kong City and said that the real estate properties in Hong Kong City are the most worthy of investment."

"He told us privately that if you have extra money and no place to invest, you can buy properties in Hong Kong City, which can increase dozens of times over time."

Ah Hai exclaimed: "So many!"

Huang Fuyi asked: "When did Director Li's vision become wrong?"

Ah Hai smiled apologetically and said, "I'm not questioning Director Li's vision. I'm scared. Dozens of times! I can't even think about it."

When Huang Fuyi first heard about it, he was actually shocked, "It's not a matter of one or two years. In these two years, it's just doubled."

"Director Li warned us not to take out large amounts of loans and to be wary of the risks of rising and falling housing prices. Otherwise, I would want to mortgage all of my property and take out loans to buy bargains."

Li Ming did not hide this long-term money-making opportunity.

If you buy up and not down, when housing prices start to rise, everyone, rich or poor, will be out of business.

If he said this early, he would have reason to remind his subordinates not to break the capital chain, otherwise they would not be qualified to manage other people's private investments.

Executives whose personal finances are healthy are less likely to mess around, and the company's financial risks are also relatively reduced, resulting in mutual benefit and win-win results.

This is the first time Ah Hai heard, "If you can make so much money, why not invest in building a factory instead of building a house?" (End of Chapter)
