At half past six in the evening of the same day, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to the Peninsula Hotel to discuss the Tin Shui Wai issue with Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong and others.

At present, the only thing that affects them is that in 82 years, Heung Kong planned two new towns, Tin Shui Wai and Tseung Kwan O, and which new town should be prioritized for subway transportation, which is very controversial within the Heung Kong Administrative Bureau.

Tseung Kwan O is much closer to the city of Central than Tin Shui Wai, and the upfront development investment here is much smaller.

If it weren't for the continuous development of the Lee consortium in Tin Shui Wai in recent years, the government would not have considered improving the transportation in Tin Shui Wai first, after all, there is less demand for capital in Tseung Kwan O.

Originally, Li Guangyu and they didn't plan that the government would suddenly study the subway in Tin Shui Wai, but now that they have such an opportunity, they naturally will not miss it, and now the only thing that plagues the Tin Shui Wai area is convenient transportation, once the subway is put into operation, plus the line opened by the Lee Consortium Kowloon Bus, Tin Shui Wai will become the industrial center of Heung Kong.

In the box of the Baodao Hotel, Lee Shau Kee asked: "Decheng, do you have any proposal in this regard from the administrative bureau, and is there any chance that this matter can be decided?"

As a member of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Governor will consult them before making major decisions, and will definitely consult the opinions and suggestions of the members of the Executive Council before making a major decision on such a major matter involving the livelihood of the people in Hong Kong.

If Youde hadn't brought it up at the Executive Council meeting, it would have meant that the matter was probably just publicity to the outside world.

Luo Cheng said: "At present, this matter has been mentioned by Youde, but at the meeting of the Executive Council, it was opposed by the official members headed by the Financial Secretary and the Department of Justice, and this matter has to wait for the government to come forward to build a subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai, but I am afraid that it is unlikely in the short term, as long as the problem is that the cost is too large, and the Hong Kong government does not have so much money to invest in it." ”

Luo Cheng has no way to do this, as a non-official parliamentarian, he can only put forward opinions, and has no decision-making power, and this time the officials led by the British are all opposed, and they are simply unwilling to spend a huge amount of money to build the subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai at this time.

The people present were still disappointed, and this time they also hoped that the government could help make the land they developed there more popular, and it seemed that there was no chance.

As for why the official members headed by the Financial Secretary and the Department of Justice oppose it, they also know that the group developed in Tin Shui Wai this time is basically them and their allies, and although the Swire Group is a British-funded consortium, Swire Pacific Corporation Lee Guangyu and the Singapore consortium have more shares than Shi Huaiya, and these official members are not willing to serve these Chinese-funded groups.

Zheng Yutong said: "Guangyu, what are your plans for Tin Shui Wai, if you can plan, let's see if it's worth the investment." ”

Now they need to know Li Guangyu's specific plans to see what the development prospects are there, if there is no industrial support, Tin Shui Wai will not be able to retain people.

In this regard, it mainly depends on Li Guangyu, whose own group is basically a real estate group, and some other manufacturing companies are also labor-intensive enterprises, which are not suitable for the development of Xiangjiang at all.

Li Guangyu said: "I plan to take advantage of the high-tech industrial park announced by Youde this time, and once again acquire 100 hectares of industrial land, and have the opportunity to establish a computer production base, and at the same time carry out computer research and development. ”

At the same time, Li Guangyu also explained to them the establishment of the high-tech industrial incubation park that he had prepared.

Lee wanted to see if he could change the situation in which Hong Kong's high-tech industry was inferior to South Korea, Baodao and Singapore.

For Li Guangyu's plan, everyone present has seriously thought about it, judging from the current development of the Phoenix Group, the group's production base will continue to expand in the future, and once the computer company is established, it will provide a lot of jobs.

Of course, the labor-intensive industries will continue to move to the mainland, and there will be some offsets in this regard, but in general, jobs will continue to rise.

For Li Guangyu's plan to establish a high-tech industry incubation park, everyone present is very supportive, and they are also willing to invest in this area to jointly support the development of high-tech industries in Xiangjiang.

Guo Desheng said: "Guangyu, we have invested a lot of money there, and if there are not enough jobs over there, and it takes too long to get to the city, it will be very difficult for us to sell there." In particular, some real estate groups followed us into this area, which intensified this competition. ”

When they first took the land, they didn't expect Youde to give them this trick, and they had already taken into account the market demand in Tin Shui Wai three years later for this plan.

Now that Wharf, Sino Land and Swire Pacific have invested heavily in the Tin Shui Wai area, there is no shortage of jobs on the Lee consortium in the short term, and if there is no major improvement in transportation, then some houses and shops will definitely fall into their own hands.

These groups have to complete the development within three years because of the government's incentives, which makes them unable to delay it even a bit.

As a result, nearly 50,000 homes will be sold at any one time, which is quite terrifying in the Tin Shui Wai area at the moment. If the other three also enter the market during this period, it will soar to the scale of 70,000 units, which is still no new real estate group to enter, otherwise the form will be more severe at that time.

Li Guangyu said: "This aspect needs to be solved by the government, we need to communicate with Youde, this matter can't be supported by itself, since they want to get benefits in it, they need to come up with benefits, at present, this aspect is not in a hurry, we will not complete the construction until the next year, and there is no need to sell it to the outside world for the time being." ”

They can invest in this subway, and when the time comes, other groups want to sit back and enjoy the results, but it is not so easy, and the government must come up with matching benefits.

This time, since Youde has already shouted out the slogan, and these groups have begun to enter the Tin Shui Wai area in large numbers, Youde needs to find a way to solve it.

At present, the Xiangjiang property market is at a low ebb, and none of the people here have any plans to sell, and they will talk about it after the real estate is built.

Li Ka-shing said: "Guangyu, I plan to buy some commercial land in Tin Shui Wai and the surrounding area to prepare for future development, and with the development of your company in the future, it will definitely continue to expand. ”

Li Guangyu has no opinion on this, he went to Youde to communicate, if they come to take over the construction of this subway, then the government needs to compensate them in this regard, otherwise Li Guangyu will not build this subway.

It is generally difficult to make much profit in operating subways, and this industry is generally done by the government.

The reason why Li Guangyu and others are willing to invest in Taipei MRT is mainly because the Baodao government has given them a lot of preferential treatment in the station property and surrounding land, so that their investment can recover the cost of their investment.

The Hong Kong government prefers to build its own subway, with property development rights and surrounding land for auction.
