Resource Tycoon Reborn

"It's so cold!" Yu Qiuxia had just pushed open Fang Mingyuan's bedroom door, and immediately a blast of cold air hit her face, making Yu Qiuxia shiver involuntarily. It was probably not even 20 degrees in this room.

Obviously, Fang Mingyuan turned on the air conditioner all night again. The room seemed a little dark, and the thick curtains blocked the dazzling sunlight outside the window. On the double bed in the room, Fang Mingyuan was wrapped in a thin quilt and sleeping soundly. Yu Qiuxia helplessly said

Shaking his head, this kid didn't know what time he went to bed last night. Why didn't he get up at this time? If he goes back to sleep, he will miss the time to go to Zheng's house.

"Brush..." Yu Qiuxia opened the curtains, and the sunlight at nine-thirty in the morning immediately shone into the room, making the whole room immediately brighter.

"Well..." Fang Mingyuan turned over on the bed, pulled up the thin quilt, and retracted his head into the quilt. He and Mr. Guo chatted until past one o'clock last night. After returning to his room, he couldn't sleep for a while.

, I carefully planned my future action plan. As a result, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, and when the sky was already bright, sleepiness came over me.

Yu Qiuxia came over helplessly and funny, pulled off the quilt and said: "It's already half past nine, are you going to Zheng's house? The old man and I are waiting for you!"

"It's half past nine?" Fang Mingyuan immediately sat up, glanced at the watch, then lay down wailing and said, "Sister Qiu Xia, I'll get up right now!"

"You must have stayed up late last night. You are no longer young now, and you have a family and children. You should pay attention to your health." Yu Qiuxia said, but his eyes noticed a few pieces of paper placed on the table.

A lot of words have been written densely on it.

"What is this?" Yu Qiuxia picked it up casually, glanced at it and asked, "What are the possible disadvantages of free travel in Hong Kong in the future?"

"I had a chat with grandpa last night and I had some ideas. I wrote them down casually." Fang Mingyuan sat up and looked at Yu Qiuxia eagerly and said, "Sister Qiuxia..."

Yu Qiuxia frowned. Of course she was no stranger to independent travel in Hong Kong. After SARS, Hong Kong's tourism industry was hit hard and the number of overseas tourists dropped sharply. The SAR government applied to the central government to open independent travel.

Expand the number of mainland tourists entering Hong Kong to promote the revitalization of Hong Kong's tourism industry. It has to be said that Hong Kong's free travel has indeed achieved obvious results. A large number of mainland tourists travel to Hong Kong, which has made Hong Kong's tourism industry, including the retail industry,

Both the hotel industry and the catering industry have experienced significant growth. They have played a non-negligible role in Hong Kong's recovery after SARS.

"Let me take a look first..." Yu Qiuxia shook the paper in his hand and said with a look of disdain, "You are such a big person, are you still shy? My sister is gone, you should move faster."

Yu Qiuxia left Fang Mingyuan's bedroom, found a place to sit down in the living room, and carefully read what Fang Mingyuan had written. Fang Mingyuan's writing was a bit sloppy, the sentences were not that smooth, and the logic was a bit confusing.

It can be seen that he just wrote wherever he thought. This is just a draft. But Yu Qiuxia, who is familiar with Hong Kong, can see that Fang Mingyuan is not aiming at nothing. Instead, he has seriously thought about the future he mentioned.

It is indeed very likely to happen in Hong Kong.

"Sigh... sometimes I feel that this guy is just like that... some jingle cat. Last night I talked with him about some views on the future of Hong Kong, and in the end he wrote me this article in one night.

." Mr. Guo looked through it carefully and said with deep emotion, "Although it can be seen that it was written in a hurry, it is meaningful! The most correct thing to say is that the gap between rich and poor in Hong Kong has reached a very serious level.

At the same time, the hollowing out of the manufacturing industry has reduced the number of jobs for citizens, which has led to slow income growth for a large part of the population."

"I think what he said is very likely to happen. Tourism is an industry that the SAR government vigorously develops. It can promote the development of Hong Kong's hotel industry, retail industry, entertainment industry, catering industry and other industries. It will create many jobs.

, but it will indeed bring some negative impacts. You see, he mentioned here that once the influx of a large number of tourists exceeds Hong Kong’s reception capacity, Hong Kong’s housing prices will rise, which will also affect the local area.

Regarding the lives of citizens, those who cannot profit from the tourism industry will become bored with the influx of large numbers of tourists. If there is no change for a long time, it will cause social conflicts." Yu Qiuxia said.

"This kind of thing is the same everywhere, and Hong Kong is not the only one. The mainland's capital cities and the Shanghai stock market also have this trend, and many cities in the world have this trend. Foreigners shop and buy real estate locally, and the results are strong

The local prices have been pushed up, and those working in the retail and real estate industries are of course happy. However, those who have nothing to do with these industries, such as local teachers or those working in other industries, will face salary challenges.

There is no situation where prices are rising rapidly, and whether they take the bus or walk on the street, they will naturally complain when they see the obviously increased flow of people." Mr. Guo said casually while watching, "Back then, why did Hong Kong citizens

The reasons for being so disgusted with Vietnamese refugees are similar. Well, what’s more, the prices of many commodities in Hong Kong are significantly lower than those in the mainland, so this problem between the two places will become more and more prominent.”

"But if we control the scale of independent travel in the mainland... Hong Kong's economic development should be affected." Yu Qiuxia hesitated and said.

"To be precise, it should be significantly affected." Mr. Guo put the paper in his hand on the table and said after a while, "Hong Kong's current economy can be said to be dualistic. On the one hand, Hong Kong is an important city in the world.

As one of the financial centers in the world, this has resulted in a significant increase in the income of managers and professionals working in financial institutions compared with the past. However, on the other hand, the same positions in other industries such as transportation, warehousing, retail and trade are mostly income-less.

Retrograde, technical, clerical, service and non-productive workers, generally have stagnant and declining wages. In other words, high-paying industries involve a small number of employees, benefit a small number of people, and are irrelevant to the lives of the vast majority of Hong Kong people.

At the same time, Hong Kong's housing prices are also in the process of recovery. In this environment, citizens will be very sensitive to price fluctuations. I have not done a detailed investigation, but overall, there should be nothing wrong. Haha,

In fact, the same is true for the movie, TV series, and record industries. Except for the weirdo like you Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, the overall profit margins of other movies and record companies are also declining. Otherwise, how could there be such a thing?

So many people go north to hunt for gold?”

Yu Qiuxia thought for a while and nodded solemnly. It was indeed as Mr. Guo said, Hong Kong's entertainment industry, if we exclude Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, is actually in decline as a whole.

It's just that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's achievements over the years have been too dazzling, so it has covered up the truth about the decline of the Hong Kong film industry.

"In fact, not only the film industry, but also the shipping industry and cargo terminal industry. Hong Kong is actually in decline. It is just covered up by the abnormal and rapid development of our Kuok Shipping Group Company. The take-off of Hong Kong... is actually at its root.

Ultimately, it is because of the mainland. Rather than saying the 'Hong Kong Miracle' in recent years, it is better to say it is the 'Chinese Miracle'." Mr. Guo said, "When China was first established, the world entered the Cold War period, and the relationship between China and Western countries

It can be said that all exchanges were blocked, leaving only Hong Kong as a window, and huge amounts of imports and exports of materials naturally poured in! Although China's economy was not developed at the time, it was still a big country after all, but it miraculously connected with

The world was cut off from communication for decades, which allowed neighboring countries and regions such as Hong Kong and Japan to benefit from it. Hong Kong's manufacturing industry developed during that period. Later, the mainland began to reform.

With the opening up, Hong Kong has undoubtedly become the first to eat crabs, and has also become a bridge between the mainland and the world! Since then, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry has begun to shift to the mainland. Relying on the mainland's cheap resources and cheap labor, enterprises have achieved better development.

At the same time, Hong Kong has also realized an economic transformation from manufacturing to service industries. It is also because of the needs of the mainland's reform and opening up that Hong Kong's financial industry has gained huge development momentum, and Hong Kong can successfully become one of the global financial centers.

The role of the mainland cannot be ignored. However, with the economic development of the mainland and more and more provinces and cities opening up to the outside world, Hong Kong's original unique position has been gradually replaced, so Hong Kong's economic development speed has also slowed down, and now it is even facing

It faces the challenges of many domestic cities. If Hong Kong still cannot find its accurate positioning in the next few years or more than ten years, Hong Kong's position in China's economic map will only gradually decline!"

"You mean that because the gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong society has widened, the mainland's policy of free travel to Hong Kong can only benefit some people, but the negative impact it brings has to be borne by all Hong Kong citizens, so

Will it cause social conflicts in the future?" Yu Qiuxia said.

"That's the truth, but without the free movement policy, many industries in Hong Kong will face the problem of insufficient customer sources. So in the final analysis, there is a problem with Hong Kong's economy itself, which is the hollowing out of the secondary industry. But this needs to be changed.

, which is easier said than done." Mr. Guo said with a headache. (To be continued)
