Xia Yu's words made MacLehose fall into deep thought.

Xia Yu waited with a smile, looking at the fields in the distance from time to time.

The lower the level of development here, the more satisfied he is.

Because this means that there is less resistance to the construction of a science and technology industrial park, and the construction cost is lower, and the science and technology industrial park can be completed and on the right track faster.

For his grand strategy, the benefits are numerous.

After a while, MacLeho came back to his senses.

He said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what you said is reasonable, as long as you can introduce enough enterprises, it is okay to plan the science and technology industrial park bigger, but if you want to surpass the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, then Xiacun Township alone is not enough." ”

Speaking of this, MacLehose paused, pointed his finger at the map, and continued: "The western part of Xiacun Township is already a coast, and the eastern part is a mountain, so it can only go north or south. ”

"To the south is Tuen Mun District, and there will be great hidden dangers in the construction and management of the industrial park across districts, and the terrain is not as flat as Yuen Long District, with many hills. To the north is Pingshan Township, with Tin Shui Wai as the center, and there are natural villages with large populations such as Shajiang Wai, Fengjiawei and Gongjing Village. ”

"Mr. Xia, it's not that I don't support your plan, it's that the reality is too restrictive. ”

MacLehose's tone is very sincere, he really wants to develop Xiangjiang well and benefit the people of Xiangjiang, otherwise at the end of his political career, he has no need to make a big move to support Xia Yu to build such a science and technology industrial park.

He is also well aware that the successful establishment of this science and technology industrial park will benefit Hong Kong for at least 50 years.

But this achievement is very likely to be sent to the mainland, and many people in British political circles do not want to see this happen.

Although there are also factors to strengthen the British influence on Xiangjiang, he is still willing to do such a thing in the case of a wedding dress that is very likely to be made for the mainland, which shows that he is indeed worthy of the citizens of Xiangjiang.

Xia Yu also took into account this practical problem.

It's just that except for Yuen Long District, even Tai Po District, if you want to establish a science and technology industrial park comparable to Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, you can barely do it, but if you want to surpass it, the conditions do not allow it.

Therefore, if Xia Yu wants to realize his idea, he must face the two problems raised by MacLehose.

Either it should be expanded to the south to include parts of Tuen Mun District, and as long as the Hong Kong government is tough enough and implements the recommendations he made based on the experience of later generations, there is a way to solve the risks of cross-district construction and jurisdiction.

But the more difficult thing is that there are more hills, and these hills have to be bulldozed, and the amount of construction is too large.

Xia Yu knew in his heart that the Hong Kong government did not have the financial resources to do this, and it took too long, after all, this was to move mountains one by one.

If it expands further north, the natural village dominated by Tin Shui Wai will become a huge obstacle, and most of the villagers' houses will have to be demolished.

The best thing to do is to choose a point to concentrate the scattered population.

Although the Hong Kong government has now put forward a plan to develop a new town in Tin Shui Wai, it is also limited by the financial strength of the Hong Kong government, and there is still no movement, which makes the villagers of Tin Shui Wai disappointed with the Hong Kong government.

The Cheung Kong Industrial Group and several other companies that have already entered the market also do not have the strength and energy to develop for the time being, so they can only shelve.

If the problem of population relocation in these natural villages cannot be solved, the villagers will naturally not let the land be requisitioned by the Hong Kong government smoothly, and all kinds of vicious incidents such as contradictions and obstructions will definitely occur one after another.

However, fortunately, in order to firmly grasp the political interests of land in the hands of the Hong Kong government, a special policy was issued, stipulating that except for each male, the aborigines of the New Territories have the right to be allocated a piece of land to build a small house after reaching adulthood, and the rest of the agricultural land must be approved by the Hong Kong government if it wants to be changed to commercial use, but the Hong Kong government does not give private approval at all!

So now the value of these non-commercial lands is low, as long as the housing and employment problems of these villagers are solved, so that they do not make trouble, it will not be difficult to expropriate these lands, and the Hong Kong government will issue a document to set the price sideways.

"Mr. Xia, why don't we go to the nearby walled village to have a look?"

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't seem to be able to think of a practical and effective idea for a while, MacLehose proposed.

Xia Yu frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay, listen to your arrangement." ”

After that, MacLehose, Xia Yu and others took a car to the nearest Xiangjiang Wai.

Xiangzhenwei is very remote, the road is bumpy, on the way to Xiangzhenwei, rarely see any buildings, basically fields and fish ponds or wilderness, from time to time you can see the villagers in plain clothes working, not only the elderly, middle-aged men and women have a lot.

In a roadside shade, Xia Yu and the others' vehicles stopped, and everyone got out of the car.

The arrival of Xia Yu and others attracted the attention of the nearby working villagers, and many people stopped their work and looked over.

Xia Yu found a middle-aged man who was fertilizing rice closer, walked over, and asked with a kind attitude: "This uncle, can I ask you something?"

The middle-aged man squeezed out a sincere smile and nodded, "Of course you can." ”

Xia Yu asked, "Have you always been farming at home for a living?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's mainly farming, and there are two fish ponds, and the rest of the time if there is a little odd job nearby." ”

Xia Yu continued to ask: "How much money can you earn in that year, is it enough for the family?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Where can I make any money, in addition to the grain I eat, the money from selling grain and fish is barely enough for the family's expenses, and I can survive, but I can't save any money." ”

"If you're lucky enough to do more work this year, you'll be able to save some money to buy some furniture for your home. ”

Xia Yu thought for a while, and then asked: "Why don't you let your wife and parents plant the land at home? At your age, you can go to work in the factory, it's better than you farming, right?"

The middle-aged man looked helpless, shook his head and said: "Workmanship is definitely better than farming, how much money can you make from farming?"

"It's just that there are no factories around here, so if you want to work, you have to go to Tai Po District or Kowloon, which is too remote for us, and it takes a few hours to get there, and many factories don't include room and board, which is not realistic at all. And I'm old and young, and I need to deal with a lot of things, so I can't leave. ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, and continued to ask: "Then if you are given a chance to enter the city, there are still workers, but you have to give up these fields and the family's old house, are you willing?"

The middle-aged man said without hesitation: "Of course I am willing, a fool is unwilling, what can I do if I stay in the countryside, my ancestors have guarded these fields for generations, I can't die of hunger but I can't live well, I have been mud legs for generations, and only when I enter the city can I change the fate of my family and become a master!"

"It's just that with my family background, I can't afford to buy a house in the city, unless the Hong Kong government will build cheap public housing for us, but this kind of good thing can't fall on my head, there are too few public housing, and it hasn't been repaired to us. ”

"Hey, maybe I won't be able to buy public housing until the day I die, and I hope that the Hong Kong government will build public housing for all of us, so I might as well count on more big bosses like you, and I will work more and save some money to see if I can move into the city in this life?"

"By the way, boss, do you need someone to do it? I have the strength, and I'm familiar with this neighborhood. ”

Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Not for the time being." ”

In the middle-aged man's disappointed eyes, Xia Yu took out ten Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it to him and said, "Uncle, thank you, I'm sorry to disturb your work." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands, looked at Xia Yu, and then grinned and took the money given by Xia Yu, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, boss, I wish you a great fortune!"

Xia Yu smiled, waved his hand to him, and then found some people to chat with and ask some questions.

The people who asked were old people and women, as well as young people.

After asking them, Xia Yu's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and he thought of a highly executable method.

If it is achieved well, it can kill birds with one stone, which can not only bring earth-shaking changes to Yuen Long District, but also benefit his grand strategy for Hong Kong.

It's just that this method is a little damaged, Xia Yu is really successful, so there are definitely some people who want to grit their teeth with hatred, such as Li Jiacheng.
