Resource Tycoon Reborn

"No matter how many countries Kuok's Shipping Group expands its business to, its roots are in Hong Kong after all. The same goes for Chow Tai Fook Jewelry and Gold Shop. We two old guys have already reached this age, and you juniors are also the same."

Now that we have grown up and have our own careers and families, we two old guys hope to spend the rest of our lives devoting some of our remaining energy to the land that birthed and raised me. Can you understand this feeling?" Zheng Yu

Tong smiled and said, can you understand the idea of ​​two old guys hoping to leave a little legacy behind them?"

"I can understand that there are no pure saints in this world!" Fang Mingyuan solemnly understood that saints will be like heaven and earth, treating the common people as stupid dogs."

"The heaven and the earth are unkind, and treat all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind, and regard the common people as stupid dogs." Mr. Guo sighed softly, "We want to hear your opinion on what we plan to do for Hong Kong."

It was dark at night, and Ji Zongze was sitting in the car, leaning on the back seat tiredly. He had held a day of meetings, but had no substantive results. He felt so depressed that he almost wanted to curse. As the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region,

Relying on the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy in the past few years, he was successfully re-elected in mid-2007. However, he did not expect that just a year and a half later, Hong Kong's economy would take a sharp turn, falling to

In today's situation, as the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, he naturally has to bear the greatest pressure from the citizens! Experts and scholars have told him that the Hong Kong economy will face many difficulties in 2009. The next twelve

The next few months will be the most difficult days, and it is very likely that there will be negative growth for the first time since the Asian financial crisis! Experts and scholars believe that in the best case scenario, Hong Kong's economy will not recover until 2010.

Although the Hong Kong government has also introduced a series of measures, for example, in order to stabilize the financial system, the government promises to provide 100% guarantee for citizens’ deposits. For another example, the government will launch a series of measures to help small and medium-sized enterprises get out of trouble... In order to

To stabilize people's hearts, he also proposed to promote the start of ten major projects to create more job opportunities.

At the same time, he also actively negotiated with the central government and requested that the central government provide sufficient policy support. The central government also provided corresponding policy support, such as ensuring food, water, electricity, natural gas, etc.

Safe and stable supply will promote further strengthening of financial cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong, increase the pilot number of mainland residents traveling to Hong Kong, expand the opening of the mainland's service industry to Hong Kong, accelerate the construction of Hong Kong-related infrastructure, promote economic cooperation between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and help Hong Kong-funded small and medium-sized enterprises

A series of measures to alleviate operating difficulties.

However, the policy is given by the central government, but the funds needed to stimulate the economy have to be raised by the Hong Kong government itself. Of course, Ji Zongze has no objection to this. After all, Hong Kong does not pay taxes to the central government, and even the cost of garrisoning is borne by the central government.

】The central government is responsible for it, and although Hong Kong is small, with only a few thousand square kilometers and a population of less than 7 million, its total GDP is among the best among provinces and cities in China. Even municipalities such as Beijing and Shanghai are still ranked.

Below Hong Kong, how much land area and population do these two cities have? Besides, the domestic economy is now also affected by the global economic crisis, and there is a shortage of money everywhere. He is too embarrassed to open his mouth again.

However, although he has proposed the start of ten major projects, this is only to build momentum in public opinion and give confidence to Hong Kong citizens. But to actually implement it, he still has countless work to do. Although he is the chief executive of the SAR,

But the budget is not something he can have the final say on. It needs to be approved immediately. Regardless of the amount, just wrangling can be annoying.

"Alas..." Ji Zongze sighed and looked out the window. The lights of the Guo family's old house could be seen in the distance. He hoped to get some surprises from here tonight. Mr. Guo's far-sightedness still made Ji Zongze feel...

Admire, as early as 2005, Mr. Guo proposed that the number of domestic tourists coming to Hong Kong may far exceed the expectations of relevant government departments, and may cause a series of problems, and

Later, his view was confirmed by facts. What impressed Ji Zongze even more was that Mr. Guo not only raised the problem, but also came up with a solution.

The retail market has been officially opened and has achieved very dazzling results. Thousands of new jobs have been created. At the same time, it has also greatly reduced the congestion in Hong Kong's urban area and effectively alleviated the impact of too many domestic tourists on Hong Kong society.

The pressure brought about. Although Ji Zongze would not take the credit of Mr. Guo on himself, he facilitated this matter and naturally had outstanding political achievements.

"Huh? Mr. Fang is here too?" Ji Zongze saw Fang Mingyuan standing next to Mr. Guo and Zheng Yutong at a glance, and couldn't help but said in surprise.

"Mr. Ji, I just returned to Hong Kong today, but I will go back to Pingchuan tomorrow." Fang Mingyuan reached out and shook hands with Ji Zongze and said with a smile, "I heard that the old man said that Chief Ji will come over tonight to talk about something, so I took the liberty to just sit in and have a look.

Please don’t pay attention, Sir Ji.”

"Where, where, Mr. Fang is willing to participate, I welcome him with both hands!" Ji Zongze said with joy. Fang Mingyuan took the initiative to ask to join, how could he refuse. Although Fang Mingyuan is not a Hong Konger, his uncle Fang Mingyuan

Bin is a Hong Kong citizen, and who in Hong Kong today is not proud of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group? Hong Kong movies, which were once in decline, are still able to stand proudly in the East of the world, on par with Hollywood and Bollywood. Among them

Hong Kong's Kumho Film Group Company is the leader.

Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company has also led other film companies in Hong Kong. Although it cannot be compared with the Hong Kong film industry when a hundred flowers bloomed, it is better to stand alone than to have a hundred flowers bloom! Not to mention, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and others

Over the years, it has been beating Hollywood film companies, winning countless honors for Hong Kong films and creating many jobs!

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan’s business vision is well known to the world. He is worried about the future of Hong Kong’s economy. Maybe Fang Mingyuan can put forward some good opinions!

Of course, this is just Ji Zongze's lowest expectation. In his opinion, it would be better if he could get some more investment from Fang Mingyuan! Fang Mingyuan was able to invest billions of dollars in Dubai to help Burj Khalifa World Company

Escaping the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation shows that he still has a lot of funds in his hands. And even if he has no funds, with his current reputation in the international financial community, the projects he invests in can easily be borrowed from financial institutions.

Enough funds.

Ji Zongze felt that he had made the right decision to come to the Guo family's old house tonight!

The group entered the living room, and the guests and hosts took their seats. After some pleasantries, they quickly got down to business. Ji Zongze briefly explained the current situation of Hong Kong's economy to the three of them. Of course, he mainly told Fang Mingyuan.

"Well, Zongze, these issues you mentioned are indeed worthy of serious consideration by everyone, and they do exist. Brother Zheng, Mingyuan and I talked about these ten major projects in the afternoon, and Mingyuan has some opinions on this

, I think you might as well listen." Mr. Guo said.

"Haha, then I'm all ears!" Ji Zongze, who was overjoyed, immediately turned his eyes to Fang Mingyuan and said with a smile. He was also muttering in his heart. It must be no small matter for Mr. Guo to say it so solemnly.

"Mr. Ji, you're welcome. I'm just throwing some light on it. Maybe it can give the Hong Kong government a little inspiration, and I'll be satisfied." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "If there's anything you say that doesn't sound good, I don't want to do it, Chief Ji."

Take it to your heart."

"Young Master Fang, this is too modest. Besides, even if we don't have the same opinions, everyone is working for Hong Kong's economy to get back on track as soon as possible." Ji Zongze said quickly.

"First of all, I think that if the Hong Kong government wants to launch these ten major projects, it must pay attention to one thing. Once multiple large-scale infrastructure projects are launched at the same time, it will only increase the cost of workers and building materials in Hong Kong. If there is not enough preparation, it is estimated that Hong Kong will be

The construction industry is difficult to cope with. And this is not the worst. I am worried that insufficient preparation in the early stage of the project may cause accidents during the construction process, and in this way, it will cause a delay in the construction period! If it is just a delay in the construction period,

That's it. What's more troublesome is that this will also cause a large increase in construction costs, which may greatly exceed the budget!" Fang Mingyuan said, "Of course, you can also hand over some projects to mainland construction companies, or carry out

International bidding, but in that case, it seems to be contrary to the original intention of stimulating the local economy, and it will easily attract attacks from people with different positions. Even among Hong Kong citizens, some people may be dissatisfied."

Ji Zongze was slightly moved. What Fang Mingyuan said fell on key points. Some people in his think tank also mentioned this issue. After all, Hong Kong has a limited population and a limited engineering team. Who can do big projects?

The construction team is even more limited. If the ten major projects are started one after another, as Fang Mingyuan said, it is likely that the local construction industry in Hong Kong will be stretched thin! And if mainland or foreign construction companies are used on a large scale, they will fall behind again.

Especially in Hong Kong, there are many factions in the Legislature, and there are many people who oppose Ji Zongze, and these people also have their own channels to express their opinions. It is easy for Hong Kong citizens to misunderstand this. Many Hong Kong people

They don't care about the actual situation. In their view, these projects in Hong Kong should use local construction teams. If they use mainland or even foreign construction companies, they will give up the jobs that originally belonged to Hong Kong people.

outsider!

And as long as enough people come out to express their opposition, those people will come up with various ways to hinder his work in the Legislature, and as Fang Mingyuan said, once the construction period is delayed, the project budget is likely to be

If the project budget is exceeded, it will give those opponents more excuses to oppose more actively, and then cause new troubles. In this way, it can easily create a vicious cycle!

Fang Mingyuan looked at Ji Zongze calmly. His words were not without purpose. In the previous life, many of the ten major projects in Hong Kong were hampered in progress and the project costs soared due to entanglements in Hong Kong's legislation.

situation. The most famous one is that after obtaining legal aid, an old woman in Hong Kong filed a judicial review with the Hong Kong High Court, believing that the environmental impact assessment report of the Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was problematic because it did not assess ozone, sulfur dioxide and suspended air.

The impact of particulates on the surrounding environment is unreasonable and illegal, so it is required to overturn the relevant decision. This incident was a sensation at the time, and was reported extensively on the domestic Internet and media.

The High Court of Hong Kong accepted the lawsuit. The judicial review concluded that the environmental impact assessment report on the Hong Kong section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was indeed substandard, requiring the Director of the Environmental Protection Agency to revoke the environmental permit and pay one-third of the old woman's legal fees. Hong Kong-Zhuhai

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project had to be suspended. After more than half a year, the Court of Appeal of the Hong Kong High Court ruled that the Director of Environmental Protection had won the appeal, and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge project was allowed to restart. However, due to judicial review and the price of the project during the appeal period

With the increase in construction costs and the fact that the construction company has to change construction methods to meet the original completion date, it is expected that the cost of the Hong Kong section of the project will eventually increase by about HK$8 billion, while the original budget paid by the Hong Kong government for this bridge was only HK$14 billion.

about!

This incident, of course, demonstrates the soundness of the legal system on the one hand. Compared with the mainland, where large-scale infrastructure projects often lead to violent forced demolitions and frequent violations of citizens' legitimate rights and interests, it is more gratifying. However,

On the other hand, it has also caused significant economic losses to Hong Kong! HK$8 billion is equivalent to nearly four months of rent-free public rental housing in Hong Kong. This is not a small amount of money!

This incident shocked the whole country, and in the later stage, the mastermind behind the incident emerged, saying that some Hong Kong media reported that someone deliberately led the old woman to sue the Hong Kong government’s Environmental Protection Department, thereby achieving the purpose of stopping this project. Fang Mingyuan

I don’t know what was behind this incident. After all, he was not a Hong Konger at the time, nor was he a big shot in China. He could only watch this incident. But now, he has enough influence in Hong Kong.

, he does not expect this incident to happen again. If the work in advance can be done more carefully and all aspects of back-up preparations are more fully prepared, the work will not have to be stopped for so long! (To be continued.)
