Hong Kong Island Old Events

"Arlo."

He Sheng reminded.

"Bring a chair and sit."

Lei Luo squinted and said, this sentence sounded a bit off-putting to others. Jiang Zuhui's expression changed. Lu Hantao didn't dare to sit down because he didn't hear what He Sheng said. He Dingxian continued to play his cards and asked nonchalantly: "Coming to visit on behalf of the New Territories?"

"Where do you rank in the Lu family, and are you worthy of representing the New Territories?"

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

Snap!

His knees gave out and he knelt on the ground.

He Dingxian didn't even look at him seriously, and said while playing cards: "If you want help, you know how to ask for help. When you don't need help, the Lu family is very arrogant."

"Did you kill your boss?"

Lu Hantao knelt down and replied, "No."

"Then we'll seize power." He Dingxian glanced at him and estimated that all the team leaders with the top ten surnames had been coerced. How much of it was forced and how much was half-rejection was hard to say.

Lu Hantao did not answer, indicating his acquiescence.

He Dingxian smiled and said: "The top ten surnames in the New Territories have always prevented outsiders from interfering. Now it's too late to ask me to help take care of the affairs of the New Territories. I advise you to cut the grass and root out the roots, otherwise it will be easy to be liquidated. I accepted the gift, Ah Gang, see you off. !”

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

"Sir He."

"Ms. Lu knows he was wrong."

Lu Hantao knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and trampled his self-esteem into the mud: "Ms. Lu agreed to all the conditions proposed by Mr. He. Please ask Mr. He to help the New Territories get out of trouble. The villagers of the New Territories cannot afford the war. If the war continues, the New Territories people will I’m going to be so poor.”

"Don't you want to be the local emperor of the New Territories?" He Dingxian took a cigarette from Lardboy, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Lu Hantao: "Weifu is for your own use. Let's talk about it. Doesn't it feel good?"

Lu Hantao looked crying and said sincerely: "There are no native emperors in the New Territories, no."

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

Lu Hantao opened his mouth instinctively.

He Dingxian also flicked the cigarette ashes unceremoniously, letting the ashes fall in Lu Hantao's mouth. A little soot can't kill anyone, but it can crush Lu Hantao's dignity and shatter the New Territory's pride. He wants a New Territory that is obedient and sensible, and that develops together, not a New Territory that is ruled by clans and closed to foreigners. This is consistent with Lu Hantao. It is beneficial to the people of the New World, but it is not good for the New World clan. Lu Hantao also understood that if he wanted the police boss to take action, he was so arrogant at first, but now he has to be so mean.

The first is to let the boss vent his anger, the second is to show an attitude of admitting defeat, and the last is to give back what was last time.

"A person from the New Territories dares to come out and show off. Even if there is an emperor in Hong Kong Island, he still has to be a wise brother!" Cai Zhaoguang sneered from the side: "The emperor of Hong Kong Island doesn't care about going to the New Territories?"

"I can handle it."

Lu Hantao replied quickly.

As long as Ho Ting-hsien intends to take charge of the New Territories, he must help the New Territories and pull the New Territories out of the quagmire of war.

He Dingxian stared at Lu Hantao for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't care whether you really seize power or whether it is a show performed by you two brothers. In short, since you want me to take charge of the New Territories, I have the final say on all conditions. I will handle Ding Quan's affairs." I will fight for you, but in the future, one-third of the Ding rights submitted for approval every year will have to 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. Apart from supplying a few batches of land when the port was first opened, real estate developers have only three ways to obtain land. The first is to acquire old buildings and rebuild them, the second is to reclaim land from the sea and build on their own, and the third is to acquire land and rebuild it. The third is to apply for approval for purchasing house area.

The first two are relatively easy to operate, but the investment is large, while the third type has a small investment, high returns, but very cumbersome procedures. The main purpose is to use the "Small House Policy" promulgated by the Hong Kong government to acquire the area of ​​resettlement houses from demolished citizens, then combine the areas together and declare them together, and build a building based on the area.

Historically, the Hong Kong government has issued quite a few "Small House Policies", and the right to small houses in the New Territories is only the most generous and famous one. There are still plans A, B, C, and D. Among them, starting from the C-level policy, small house areas can be listed and traded.

Sun Hung Kai Properties relies on taking advantage of the small areas of demolished households to build buildings and sell them. However, the operation is very difficult and requires one house after another to pass through. This shows Lee Shau Kee's business ability. Ding Quan has not been approved for listing and trading in history, and it is a land welfare that is tied to death by head. However, He Dingxian holds military power and is waiting for a price. He can negotiate slowly with the Hong Kong government. The best is to reach an agreement. Use Ding Quan to build a building, let's see who dares to demolish it

If a policy is implemented crookedly from the beginning, most people will acquiesce later.

However, Lu Hantao looked bitter and said: "Mr. He, if you open your mouth, you will eat more than 30% of the land that has been owned by men in the New Territories for generations."

This 30% is obtained by people from the New Territories in exchange for land.

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

"If you can control the public opinion in the New Territories, you will have the final say in the New Territories in the future!" He Dingxian looked at Lu Hantao with a smile and said, "If you want to manage the New Territories well, you need people's support. Let's support you together."

He glanced around everyone present: "Is it a loss for you to give me some land?"

"good!"

Lu Hantao gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "I will go back and communicate with the top ten surnames, and I will definitely get it done for Mr. He. In the future, 30% of the power in the New Territories will belong to all the officials."

"okay."

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

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

With 30% of the Ding rights, the clan must have come out to support the distribution, and each family has an equal number of Dings, ensuring that each household has a Ding house. How can people in the New Territories spend money to buy commercial buildings if they are so poor? But he is not in a hurry to develop it. There are very few opportunities to hoard large areas of land. He writes the land storage area in Huo Xiantang Real Estate's annual report. Seeing the increase in land hoarding area every year, shareholders willingly buy stocks. Among them, The income that can be earned is more than one or two hundred million.

Over the next ten to eight years, development and urban reform in the New Territories will be carried out step by step.

Ten or twenty years later

When people in the New Territories have money and are no longer satisfied with squeezing into a small house, they will naturally spend money to improve their housing, and they don't need to exploit the bottom class, so they can let the middle class buy it.

Ding Quan, who has been ancestral for generations, is the foundation of the He family that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Lan Gang pushed Lu Hantao, who staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground. Lan Gang felt that he was grinding, but he didn't expect that Lu Hantao had been kneeling for more than ten minutes. His knees were a little painful, and he was distracted by thinking about what Mr. He just said.

Seeing that Lu Hantao left, Lei Luo still felt unsatisfied and sneered: "It's really cheap to let him walk downstairs step by step. He should be allowed to jump downstairs."

"No need."

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

He Dingxian looked at the card pile with a smile: "Where did you hit just now?"

"Boss."

"You play your cards."

Jiang Zuhui smiled.

He Dingxian had just played a pair, but when he saw that no one wanted it, he knocked out the dragon without hesitation: "Pay."

"Put out the money."

He said happily.

Lu Hantao sat in the rickshaw, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Sure enough, the New Territories man's little tricks could not be hidden from the top police officials. His seizure of power was actually secretly negotiated with the big boss. After all, the New Territories can 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 chief, and his negotiation with the police is far more advantageous than the boss's negotiation with the police, which was the boss's quarrel with the police. In addition, he needs to lead the New Territories villagers out of trouble, and the credit will be attributed to him, and no one will hold the boss responsible for his fault.

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. At critical moments, some small tricks are inevitably used. However, does He Dingxian's words imply that he needs to issue a certificate of surrender?

Lu Hantao was struggling in his heart.

Governor's Palace.

"Sir, the phone number of the Military Intelligence Office is that the Lu family in the New Territories has sent someone to He Mansion." 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. The Lu family is taking a rickshaw back to the New Territories. .”

Bai Liji stood in front of the window, holding a cigar. His first reaction was to take the person back for questioning and see what the two parties talked about.

But he finally sighed and said, "I know."

"Prepare a generous gift."

"I'll go to He Mansion again tomorrow."

New Territories has made an advance bid.

He doesn't follow the price.

I'm afraid I'll be thrown off the table.

Unfortunately, early the next morning, the border crossing incident was discovered at the border post. A total of more than 30 Baoan County militiamen entered the Sha Tau Kok area in plain clothes and armed with an attempt to enter the New Territories area through the Sha Tau Kok post. A firefight broke out between the garrison at the sentry post and the militia. Seven garrison soldiers were killed, which shocked the whole Hong Kong!

Television stations, newspapers, and radio stations all published this news one after another, claiming that "China and Britain were at war". There was a heated discussion in the world. Hong Kong Island became a hot spot, which further led to the stampede flight of British capital. The four major foreign banks could not save the market even if they wanted to.

This is the only friction incident that has ever happened in history. It was the only time that two major countries clashed with each other. The impact was not severe. There were even rumors that Baoan was gathering troops. The only ones who appeared at Sha Tau Kok in the morning were the reconnaissance team.

As for the so-called Baoan County militia, they were actually serving soldiers who had taken off their uniforms. Once the news leaked out, it won the public's trust. After all, this trick had been used by the other side!
