Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 557 New Territories Development Process

   Looking at the desolate land outside the car, the light in Yang Chen's eyes kept flashing.

  In the early 1980s, with the continuous economic growth of Heung Kong, the development of the New Territories has been put on the agenda.

  Xiangjiang has no shortage of land. The land area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers is almost the same as that of the later Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

   The reason why the development area of ​​Xiangjiang in later generations is small is not only because of real estate developers, but also because of de-industrialization.

  Without the factories, the entire city has transformed into the service industry, and millions of people have poured into the service industry. Just imagine, how many people can the entire service industry consume?

  In the later generations, all walks of life in Heung Kong were not only under great pressure of competition, but also extremely unbalanced in per capita income and expenditure.

   The gap between the income of middle and high-level people and the income of the general population at the bottom is very obvious.

  A country cannot be strong without industry.

  A big international city, if it has no industry, it means that it has no solid foundation.

   No matter how high and beautiful the building is, once the foundation is unstable, it will shake when the wind blows, and there will be a danger of collapse and collapse.

  In a capital society, everything speaks with money. In the face of the economy, even politics has to give way to money.

   Later generations said that Koreans cannot do without three things, death, taxes, and Samsung.

  Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also proves that if a company is large enough, it can affect the entire country.

   To paraphrase the words of Boss Ma, if the bank does not change, then we will change the bank.

  Change banks, blatantly grab food from state-owned enterprises, and nothing else, just courage and courage are not what ordinary people can do.

   And Boss Ma himself not only said it, but also did it in the end.

   One screeching stick, and the people who hit it will see gold stars, which directly changes people's consumption habits.

   Ladies and gentlemen

  How long has it been since you went to the bank?

   How long has it been since you went to the bank to withdraw money or remit money?

   This person, it’s not that he can’t do it, it’s just a question of whether he dares to do it or not.

  Compared with the inland, Xiangjiang, a capital society full of money, can do whatever he wants as long as he has money.

  Since Xiangjiang does not change, then it is better for him to change Xiangjiang.

   Later, among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, except for the Dutch gambling king who made his fortune by gambling, the other nine depended on real estate to maintain their value.

  Xiangjiang's high land rent cost has made all walks of life in Xiangjiang become hollowed out in the future. Students who walk out of the campus will enter the service industry in almost all cases.

  The business of Erdao dealers has a time effect. With the continuous development of the inland economy and the development of coastal cities, the identity of the "comprador" of Xiangjiang people will gradually fade.

   In the 1980s and 1990s, the reason why Hong Kong’s economy was able to grow rapidly and people’s income and expenditure levels continued to rise was essentially due to the reform and opening up of the inland in this era, and there was an urgent need to import and export a large number of goods.

  Because of the war, the inland was unable to communicate with Western countries for a long time, and the direct communication between the east and the west was not smooth, which led to the city of Xiangjiang, which became a window bridge between the inland and the west in the early days.

   Simply put, Xiangjiang is a middleman. The business he does is to go in with the left hand and go out with the right hand, reselling materials, earning the difference and accumulating a lot of money and wealth.

   A group of middlemen in the inland of later generations, because of the rise of Internet e-commerce, were hit to pieces.

  When people can get high-quality and cheap items from e-commerce, middlemen are naturally abandoned by people ruthlessly.

   In the same way, with the rapid development of the inland economy and the increasing opening up, the coastal cities have become more and more frequent in foreign exchanges, which has led to the continuous decline of the status of Xiangjiang as a foreign trade window.

  Xiangjiang, because of the special period, the mission coat given to it by history will gradually fade with time.

  Money often blinds people. When people get used to this kind of business, they will deliberately ignore some details and give up long-term considerations.

  Why do they say that the truth is often only in the hands of a few?

   Not because they are smarter and more capable than anyone else.

   But because their vision was not blinded by temporary interests, they were admired by later people because they saw farther and higher.

  High housing prices are destined for the future development of Heung Kong, and it will no longer be able to transform in the direction of ordinary industries.

  In addition to taking the high-profit route of high-tech and pharmaceutical and biological research, no company can afford the high cost of land use and the impact of the increasingly prosperous import and export trade over the next two decades.

   Prosperity must decline, this is the truth.

   Of course, this is not the fault of one or two people, but the fault of the age.

   In this era, it is decided that Xiangjiang can only take this road. Even if some people know that this road is ahead of a cliff, for economic development, everyone can only bite the bullet and go on.

   This is the same as global warming in future generations. Everyone knows that this is caused by excessive carbon emissions, but you have to say that countries should give up economic development and completely ban carbon emissions.

   Ask, does this work?

  Is the country still going to be maintained?

   Do the people still want to eat?

   use a line from a movie

  ‘One hundred years is too long, and everyone is fighting for the day. ’

   There is a big cake on the table, even if you are not hungry, everyone around you is eating it.

  Tell me, do you eat or not?

   The only mistake of Xiangjiang in later generations is that the government is too constrained. Like some western developed countries, it is easily influenced by the so-called public opinion.

   And behind those public opinions, except for a very small part, the others are basically all those with vested interests behind the scenes.

   For those ordinary people

   It's not entirely wrong to say they are hateful.

   It is not wrong to say that they are pitiful.

   It is not unreasonable to say that they are ignorant.

  Thinking from the perspective of some people, everything they do is actually not much wrong.

  The house bought for one million, but the house price fell in the end, becoming 800,000, 700,000, 500,000, which was half of it for no reason, and everyone would cry and make trouble.

  The birth of private ownership is bound to make people selfish.

   In the middle, interests are balanced.

   is like the power of ancient emperors, if used well, the country is safe and healthy, but if not used properly, chaos will occur.

   There is no absolute fairness in the world, as long as most people feel fair, then this is fair.

The problems of Xiangjiang in later generations are too complicated. In addition to the economy, there are also various factors, which are very chaotic. The problems left over from history can only be eliminated by time. After two or three generations, there may not be so many nonsense. .

  The two pieces of cheese, real estate and export trade, are determined by the economic trend of Xiangjiang in the next 20 to 30 years, which cannot be changed by him alone.

   The general trend is going down, whoever dares to stop it will die very ugly.
