Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 934 Youde Concession

   Hearing Yang Chen's request, Youde didn't care.

  The inland left the Xiangjiang River and let the British continue to control it. What was it for and what purpose was there? The British government actually knew very well that the inland was not even afraid of the Americans, so how could they be afraid of a Britain that had already declined in World War II.

  The Korean War, dozens of countries led by the United States blocked the inland, but under the comprehensive blockade, the inland can still get a steady stream of overseas support from Xiangjiang, and the United Kingdom secretly stumbles the Americans.

  After the reform and opening up, Xiangjiang is a window for the inland to obtain overseas funds and technologies. Not only Youde, the Governor of Xiangjiang, understands that, but other countries are also very clear.

  Yang Chen is a businessman, and the geopolitics of Xiangjiang is special, especially now that Xiangjiang is still under the control of the United Kingdom, developing high-tech industries, and there are no so-called technical restrictions.

   Now the newly emerging South Korea, Singapore, and Wanwan are actively introducing high-tech industries to Europe and the United States. Heung Kong did not have that plan before, mainly because developing those industries is too troublesome and takes too much time and resources.

  Hong Kong The political and business circles of Hong Kong both intend to build Hong Kong into a financial service-oriented city, just like London, to become the financial center of Asia.

   Now Yang Chen is willing to stand up and develop the high-tech industry by himself. As the Governor of Xiangjiang, he seems to have no other choice but to support.

Youde raised his glass and smiled: "Mr. Yang, I think the London side will agree to your request, and the government will send someone to take charge of this matter, and the government will do its best for the construction of the industrial zone. provide support."

  Yang Chen also raised his glass to thank him: "Then I'm here, so I'll thank the Governor first."

   He is not surprised by Youde's support. Since MacLehose served as the Governor of Xiangjiang, several of the governors of Xiangjiang have been diplomats, and they have contributed more or less to the construction of Xiangjiang.

   Now he wants to develop the high-tech industry in Hong Kong, and the UK can benefit from it. The two sides benefit each other and there is no reason not to support it.

   In this period, the inland has just been reformed and opened up. In the face of a huge market with a population of more than one billion, everyone wants to go in and get a piece of the pie. As a bridgehead to enter the inland, development is naturally crucial.

  Before the inland economy did not bring huge pressure on Europe and the United States, the so-called blockade was just a piece of paper, and it was difficult to play a role.

  The capitalists are all profit-seeking, they only have interests in their eyes, technology or something, as long as the money is in place, it is not a problem to ask for anything.

   "Lord Governor, I don't know if the area of ​​industrial land can be used again"

Before Yang Chen could finish speaking, Youde was a little confused: "Mr. Yang, the government can only provide you with half of the land for industrial use at most, a hundred square kilometers of land is too big, even in the New Territories, The number of residents involved in the middle will make the government feel enormous pressure.”

   It is true that there are fewer people and more land in the New Territories, but the population of 100 square kilometers of land involved, even in relatively remote areas, is as many as 100,000 people.

   Moreover, the most important point is that for these industrial land, the government did not ask Yang Chen for half a cent this time.

   As early as the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984, in order to prevent the British from auctioning off land for profit, in the treaty, the annual land supply of Xiangjiang was specially restricted.

   This time, Yang Chen’s acquisition of land requires not only permission from the Governor’s Palace and London, but also inland grace.

   Compared with the Governor's Mansion, the inland side naturally has nothing to hesitate. Regarding Yang Chen's plan to build a high-tech industrial chain in Xiangjiang, the inland side is in favor of both hands.

   Not to mention 100 square kilometers, that is, the entire 2,300 square kilometers, the inland will fully support it. Anyway, sooner or later Xiangjiang will return, and sooner or later, these will become part of the industrial power of the inland.

   If it weren't for some restrictions, the inland would want Yang Chen to build the high-tech industry chain in the special zone, let alone 100 square kilometers, it would be ten times more, as long as Yang Chen dared to invest, the inland would dare to approve.

   For this reason, the inland side also specifically requested that the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang must provide Yang Chen with a certain amount of free land, and high-priced land supply is not allowed.

   The inland side responded positively, and the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang naturally did not express it. After giving Yang Chen a half-off, not to mention the free land supply, he also helped resettle the relocated residents.

   I have to say that what Yode did on this is quite interesting.

   "Lord Governor, if my company is responsible for the resettlement of the relocated residents, I don't know if we can add more land."

   "You have also read my plan. According to the plan, the land of 100 square kilometers is actually a bit tight. This is a half-fold. I am afraid that many industries need to be re-planned and deleted..."

Seeing that Yang Chen complained to him about this matter, You De was both surprised and embarrassed. In the end, he really had no choice but to grit his teeth: "Add up to 30% at most, you must properly handle the resettlement of the residents, the government only provides Mobilize help from industry."

  Yang Chen is a little greedy: "Three percent, it's only 80 square kilometers, it's still 20 square kilometers."

Seeing Yang Chen's dissatisfied look, Youde was a little dumbfounded: "Mr. Yang, Boss Yang, don't embarrass me, I'm just a Governor, not a British Prime Minister, you must know that the Sino-British Joint Statement earlier, Xiangjiang The area of ​​land supplied every year cannot exceed 50 hectares, look at how many hectares you have now, you can calculate by yourself.”

  If it wasn't for the support from London, and the inland side didn't object, let alone fifty square kilometers, even five square kilometers of land, he would not have granted Yang Chen.

   This means that Yang Chen has been closely related to the royal family in recent years. Youde, considering his own political career, sent Yang Chen's application plan to London, and finally received support from London.

   For someone else, where would Yoder take it to heart?

   Even if the other party is the richest man in China, rules are rules, especially when it comes to politics, some rules cannot be broken for certain individuals.

   Of course, this kind of thing cannot be too absolute.

   After all, the true fragrance of the future generations, few people can escape, even the countries are the same, the European and American countries in the later generations are examples, and the European and American countries do not less things that go back on their word.

   Yang Chen's plan this time is a big deal. Once it is reported that the impact will definitely exceed a magnitude 10 earthquake, but with the support of the Chinese and British governments, breaking the rules will also be broken.

   China and the UK are the ones who set the rules. It is not up to the two countries to decide whether the rules are in place. However, breaking the rules once or twice has little impact.
