Chapter 825: High-tech Park
In the afternoon, Li Guangyu went to the Governor's Palace to communicate with him on the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong dollars, and at the same time negotiated the construction of Kangxin Hospital and Xingguang School on Xiangjiang Island.
Since the senior management of the Lee Consortium basically works and lives on Heung Kong Island, and the distance between Tin Shui Wai and Tin Shui Wai is too far, Li Guangyu will be able to better serve the senior management and employees of the group after establishing a branch hospital here, and they will not need to choose the Sanatorium or Hospital when they are ill in the future.
If there is any problem with the senior management of the group, it will be much more convenient to recuperate here, and it will not be necessary to go to the remote Tin Shui Wai.
The British economy is still in a weak predicament, although the government is thinking about reform, but the progress is not too big, and now there is a great need for external funds to enter and cooperate with the government's reforms, so that Britain can get out of the current predicament.
As Hong Kong is currently the world's third largest financial center, after New York and London, the British government naturally hopes that Hong Kong Capital will enter the UK to invest in the United Kingdom to change their current predicament.
In the past few years, both Bentley Group and British Telecom Group have developed very well, providing many jobs for the British government, bringing good tax revenue to the British government, and promoting the economic development of the British mainland.
Therefore, even though Li Guangyu is constantly increasing his investment in the mainland, the Xiangjiang government has not taken any restrictive actions against the Li consortium.
In Youde's office, Li Guangyu first communicated with him about the construction of Kangxin Hospital and Xingguang School, and put the issue of the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes to the end.
In recent years, the number of Xiangjiang citizens has risen very fast, although some people have chosen to emigrate, but the total population of Xiangjiang is rising, which has led to a very tight shortage of degrees and medical resources in Xiangjiang.
Li Guangyu's willingness to build schools and hospitals on Xiangjiang Island can effectively alleviate the current situation and is very beneficial to the development of Xiangjiang.
You De said with a smile: "Li Sheng, I will arrange communication and coordination with you in this regard, so that your hospital and school can start construction as soon as possible, and the current land price in Xiangjiang is relatively low, so you can save a lot of costs in this regard." ”
At present, the land price in Xiangjiang has been affected by the property market, and has fallen to the lowest point since the 80s, and the main income of the Xiangjiang government is from this aspect.
Li Guangyu is also clear about Youde's plan, the current Xiangjiang property market is in a sideways, originally Li Guangyu and their collective entry into the market had a small increase, but after Li Guangyu and they completed the acquisition, the price fell back not long after.
There are many reasons for this, and now if the property market wants to be good, we can only expect better news to come out, otherwise it may continue like this, and we must ensure that there is no bad news.
The hottest plot is now in the Tin Shui Wai area, where the construction of several universities, the expansion of the Li Consortium Industrial Park, and the joint development of the two consortiums have made it the focus of Hong Kong.
At present, the land price of Tin Shui Wai has long exceeded that of Sham Shui Shebu area, and the price is close to Kowloon City, attracting the attention of many investors.
In the middle of last month, Youde proposed to build the southern area of Tin Shui Wai, which is next to the Li consortium Phoenix Mobile and some research institutions, into a high-tech park in Heung Kong to promote the development of high-tech industries in Heung Kong.
This has made some businessmen in Heung Kong rush to take the lead in the Tin Shui Wai area.
After all, there is a university town that has begun to take shape, there are three universities that have been put into use or rebuilt, and there is a huge Li Industrial Park, and now the government intends to build the Xiangjiang High-tech Park, and the future development is unlimited, and now they all hope to enter a piece of the pie.
Li Guangyu said to Youde: "Governor, sir, you are relatively clear about the current situation, some things are irreversible, and if the Hong Kong dollar banknote issuing right allows us to enter it, it will not be a bad thing for everyone, what do you think?"
These days, Youde is quite stressed about this matter, this is not the first time he has heard this question, and now the Chinese family in Hong Kong hopes that the Hong Kong Bank has the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes quite strongly, whether it is Lee Shau Kee or Cheng Yutong and others, they have talked to him about this issue, which makes it difficult for him to make a choice.
Youde also knows that in the future, the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes cannot be exclusive to HSBC and Standard Chartered, and the rights and interests will definitely be divided, and it will not be a bad thing to let Hong Kong Bank in at this time.
It's just that in this regard, there is still a debate on the British side, and some conservatives still have illusions that they want to keep this thing firmly in their own hands, so the other side has not approved the request here.
"Li Sheng, you also know that I can't make full decisions on this matter myself, some issues still need to be discussed and decided locally, and I can only be an executor. Personally, I welcome the Bank of Hong Kong to have the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, which can also make the financial situation in Hong Kong more stable, and this matter still requires you to be active in London, and maybe there is some hope. ”
Youde estimates that the government is ready to negotiate terms with the Lee consortium again, just like Xiangjiang Airlines, and let the Lee consortium invest in the UK to give them the power to develop this aspect.
This time, the right to issue Hong Kong dollars is more important, and the current economic development form on the local side is not good, and it is estimated that the Li Consortium and the Xiangjiang Consortium will not be allowed to get this right in their hands this time.
Li Guangyu was also speechless about what Youde said, this matter was originally a matter of Xiangjiang, and according to the procedure, Xiangjiang could decide for itself, but unfortunately this did not have the consent of London, and the procedure could not be followed.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Governor, we will carry out our own activities on this matter, and I hope that your side can also propose it to the above, after all, the development and stability of Hong Kong Pacific's finance need to be maintained by everyone, and only letting HSBC and Standard Chartered have the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes is not conducive to the economic development of Hong Kong and the stability of Hong Kong's financial situation." ”
Youde was a little speechless about Li Guangyu's words, he wanted the rights and interests of the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, and he also said that his side was so high-sounding, as if their Bank of Hong Kong had the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, and the financial situation and economic development of Hong Kong would be better than now.
The monopoly of the two major banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered, seems to be the main culprit affecting Hong Kong's economic development and financial stability in Lee Guangyu's case, which is also too shameless.
Youde said: "Mr. Li, in the past few decades, the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes has been controlled by the two major banks of HSBC and Standard Chartered, and the economy and finance of Hong Kong have made great progress, making great contributions to the social stability of Hong Kong, which is worthy of recognition from all walks of life in Hong Kong. ”
"Mr. Governor, please rest assured, our media will not smear and attack other enterprises for no reason, over the years, our media group has been on the basis of facts, truth-seeking reports, as for the Hong Kong dollar banknotes have been monopolized by the two major British-funded banks, our Chinese-funded enterprises are really not at ease, which affects the investment and development of our Chinese-funded enterprises. ”
