Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 928 Application for Industrial Land

   After learning about the recent construction of the laboratory, Yang Chen thought of the previous application for industrial land from the Governor's Office.

  Before going to Australia, Yang Chen submitted an application for industrial land to the Governor's Office of Hong Kong. The entire application involved nearly 10,000 square hectares of land, which is almost 100 square kilometers of industrial land.

As soon as Yang Chen's application was submitted, the governor's mansion was stunned and dumbfounded. To know the entire area of ​​the Xiangjiang River, the total of zero and zero is only one thousand and dozens of square kilometers, and Yang Chen's mouth is nearly one-tenth of the area. Land, it is strange that everyone is not dumbfounded.

   However, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, after receiving the application, the Governor's Office did not dare to delay, and there were hundreds of meetings, large and small.

   The reason why the Governor's Mansion attaches so much importance to it is not because Yang Chen wants so much land all of a sudden, but because Yang Chen's planning of the industrial land that he applied for has aroused a heated discussion among the governor's mansion.

  It turned out that since the appreciation of the yen, Yang Chen thought that he would have a large windfall in his pocket, although he had already planned, after Black Monday, he would start buying the European and American stock markets.

   But for something like stocks, you say it has value, it does have value, but if you say it has no value, it can indeed become worthless.

  Stock stuff, sometimes it is a piece of paper that is too sloppy to wipe your butt, especially some countries have certain restrictions on foreign ownership of domestic enterprises.

  For example, in the United States and island countries, the governments of the United States and Japan have certain restrictions on the shareholding of foreign capital in domestic enterprises.

  The shares are limited, then there is no way to wholly own the company and control the company, so the stock can only be book wealth.

Therefore, Yang Chen feels that the bottom line is to buy the bottom, but he must have the goods in his hands. After all, stocks are paper things. If he blindly invests all his money in stocks, what he will get is a pile of paper wealth with good-looking numbers at best. .

   Later Huawei was sanctioned by the US government, why is it not afraid?

   In addition to the state support behind it, the other is that Huawei has mastered the core technology itself.

   Having mastered the core technology, you are not afraid of being sanctioned.

   In the future, if he masters the core technologies of some industries, even if he is sanctioned by the United States, he will be supported by the inland market of more than one billion yuan. If there is an inland market, he will not be afraid of any sanctions.

   Therefore, Yang Chen felt that he had to establish his own core base in Xiangjiang.

  Xiangjiang is a very special place. He has received news that next year the WTO General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade will confirm Hong Kong as a separate customs area.

  The so-called independent customs area refers to an area in which the supervision of the entry and exit of goods, the collection and exemption of customs duties and other taxes in the independent customs area are implemented in accordance with the customs regulations promulgated by the local government.

   Later in the WTO, there are four separate customs areas, namely the European Union, Hong Kong, Haojiang, and Taibei in Wanwan.

  Xiangjiang has the title of duty-free port in later generations. Except for individual commodities, most of the other commodities have zero tariffs.

Commodities produced in the inland first enter Hong Kong, then change the packaging, put a label, put on a Hong Kong vest, and then export from Hong Kong to all over the world, which to a certain extent bypasses the import and export of inland by some developed countries. Restriction and reduction of tariffs on direct exports from inland.

  The inland commodities exported by Xiangjiang in later generations were exported to the United States, and even in a trade war, they could skillfully avoid trade frictions.

   One-seventh of the export products of the inland in the later generations are sold to other countries through the Hong Kong, which is a transparent channel for the inland to bypass various trade barriers legally and reasonably.

Therefore, Yang Chen wants to use his strong funds to establish a series of high-tech industrial chains in Heungkong, take advantage of Heungkong's special status, obtain core technologies in the high-tech field from Europe and the United States, and then take it in his hands and become his own. A trump card.

   In Yang Chen's plan, the entire industrial chain includes ten core industries including automobiles, aerospace, electronic communications, biomedicine, semiconductors, new energy, new materials, IT, precision instruments, and automation.

   In addition, there are some other subsidiary high-end industries.

  The land application of 100 square kilometers is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the investment amount declared by Yang Chen, which is as high as 100 billion US dollars, makes everyone secretly stunned.

   To be honest, the Governor's Mansion was really shocked by Yang Chen's large-scale investment. The original plan of the Governor's Mansion was to build Xiangjiang into a financial service-oriented city and slowly transfer the manufacturing industry.

   Now Yang Chen is suddenly preparing to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in Xiangjiang to introduce and build a series of high-tech industries, which suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the Governor's Palace.

   To say refusal, no one in the Governor's Palace dares.

   Not to mention Yang Chen's relationship with the British royal family, it's just Yang Chen's influence in Xiangjiang, once this application is spread, it must be unlucky whoever rejects it.

   Even the Governor, Youde, has to weigh it carefully.

   After all, Yang Chen's plan is beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang. The development of Xiangjiang is not suitable for the survival of light industry, but it is definitely suitable for the development of high-tech industries.

   Before, the big guy only focused on real estate, what high-tech industry, no one wanted to think about it, and no one wanted to do it. Now that Yang Chen has stood up, it is definitely impossible to refuse.

   However, nearly ten thousand hectares (nearly one hundred square kilometers) of land.

   To be honest, the Governor’s Palace really can’t approve it.

   Think about one-tenth of the land area, which is more than the total area of ​​the three Haojiang Rivers (nearly 33 square kilometers). How could the Governor's Palace free up so much land for him in a short period of time.

  The land of 100 square kilometers cannot be approved, and if you fold it in half, there is still no problem with 50 square kilometers.

  Under the dictatorship of the British Hong Kong government, let alone 50 square kilometers, Yang Chen is determined to ask for 100 square kilometers of land.

  Xiangjiang has a population of less than 500,000 in the early days, and has risen to 5 million. The development of land is very strong.

  In the 1960s, in order to accommodate the new population, Heung Kong developed a number of new towns, such as the increasingly prosperous Tsuen Wan and Shatin districts.

  In the 1970s, when Tuen Mun, Fanling, Sheung Shui, Yuen Long, Tai Po and Ma On Shan were developed, millions of immigrants from the Mainland were resettled without any effort.

  The construction of Tseung Kwan O and Tin Shui Wai in the New Territories is also intensifying. The Governor's Office wants land. At this time, as long as a paper order is required, there is basically nothing that cannot be done.

  Yang Chen officially saw this, and only wanted so much land in one go, not now, when Xiangjiang returns, everything can only be 'hehe'.
