At the time of the press conference, Li Guangyu was a guest at the Governor's Palace, and was discussing with Wilsson.

With the continuous development of Hong Kong's economy, the labor cost of Hong Kong has also risen, which has also led to the continuous relocation of Hong Kong's labor-intensive industries to the mainland, especially to Guangdong Province.

This has also put great pressure on the employment situation in Xiangjiang, although Li Guangyu has established a number of industries in Xiangjiang, but now it is mainly used as a research and development and trial production site, and the main production base is still in the mainland.

As the mainland's reform and opening up continues to deepen, the situation is becoming clearer, and entrepreneurs who were hesitant in the past are now investing in factories in the mainland to reduce their cost pressure and improve the competitiveness of their products.

At present, Xiangjiang needs to face a painful period of transformation, there are not many R&D-oriented industries, and many citizens are unable to keep up with the rapid transformation of Xiangjiang's industries in terms of cultural level and skill level, and many intensive low-tech industries are gradually moving to the mainland, which has caused many citizens to be unemployed.

Wilson is now facing such a situation, the clock has turned in 88 years, and he hopes to find some solutions this year to reduce unemployment and promote the sustained and rapid development of Hong Kong.

Wilson has been in Xiangjiang for many years, especially in the MacLehose era, he witnessed the glory of the Xiangjiang property market, watching the rise of the demand real estate group, he is personally very worried about this, he is most worried about the Hong Kong economy is kidnapped by real estate, which is very unfavorable to the development of the Hong Kong economy.

Fortunately, there is such a demon as Li Guangyu in Xiangjiang, under the control of him and his allies, the Xiangjiang property market has been relatively stable since the collapse of 82 years, the price has been relatively stable over the years, the supply of the property market is very sufficient, and the price increase is within a reasonable range, which not only did not play a negative role in the economy of Xiangjiang, but led to the development of Xiangjiang's economy.

However, although the housing prices are relatively stable, the labor costs of Xiangjiang have been rising over the years, and at the same time, the low labor force in the mainland has also made Xiangjiang enterprises flock to it, which still makes Xiangjiang industry face transformation and upgrading, and puts forward higher requirements for Xiangjiang citizens.

When Wilson asked about the future development direction of Xiangjiang, Li Guangyu said: "Xiangjiang is such a geographical location, as well as the trend of economic development, it is destined that there is not much room for the development of labor-intensive industries here, and the high labor cost is not conducive to the global competition of enterprise products.

In my personal opinion, Heungjiang focuses on the development of the financial industry, trade industry, tourism, Internet industry, technology research and development base, and Asian headquarters base of multinational companies, which are more in line with the future of Heung Kong. ”

Li Guangyu never thought of building Xiangjiang into an industrial city, which was very unrealistic for Xiangjiang, and he would not choose to develop against the current, which would only be useless and delay the rapid development of Xiangjiang.

As for the problem of many people losing their jobs due to the transfer of many low-value-added industries to the mainland, the government needs to introduce them to support skills training, entrepreneurship training, and policy support to let them change careers.

In particular, the construction of Tin Shui Wai in the past year has been able to absorb a large part of the people's work, and the two largest groups in Heung Kong in the future are the financial sector and the service industry, and the most people will be engaged in these two industries.

Li Guangyu is also moving many production companies in the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park to the mainland, and when the printing company was transferred, thousands of employees were facing a career change.

At the beginning, Li Guangyu's entire arrangement plan was also vetoed by Le Yiling, because there were countless companies moving to the mainland later, with tens of thousands of employees, and the Li consortium's enterprises in Xiangjiang could not bear it.

In order to solve this problem, the senior management of the Li Consortium spent nearly a month conducting research, communicating with the company's employees, and finally came up with a more suitable plan, so that after the transfer of the Li Consortium's industry to the mainland over the years, there were no major collective incidents among its employees.

If there is a way out, Tianyu Bank will provide financial support and low-interest loans to them according to the actual situation, and if their industries are connected with the industries of the Li Foundation, the Li Consortium will give priority to procurement.

Those who are willing to work in other companies can go to the interview, and the groups under the Li Consortium will be given priority in admission.

For those who are willing to engage in the service industry, need a storefront, and have some difficulties in terms of funds, they have priority to lease the stores of Wheelock Group and Starlight Property Group, and they do not need to pay rent in advance, which can be delayed for up to one year.

In addition, the Lee Foundation also provides skills training, which is free of charge for these personnel, so that their abilities can keep up with the speed of Heungjiang's development.

Now there are more small food production companies in Pengcheng Food and Beverage Industrial Park, most of which were run by employees of the former Li Foundation, and their products are mainly sold to Hengyu, 7-11, and Xuelan, and they are still actively developing their own sales channels.

In places such as Wheelock Place and Starlight City, many of the store owners are also employees of the Lee Foundation, who run small businesses such as clothing, beauty salons, snacks, restaurants, hardware, lighting, etc., and have no problem supporting their own families.

In the past few years, many of the bus drivers of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company have also been employees of Lee's factories, and they have transferred to this field after passing driving training.

Li Guangyu relies on his own strong strength to solve the work of his employees, but after other entrepreneurs transfer the industry, they do not have such strength to prepare for the company's employees, and the government still needs to do this.

Now Wei Yixin needs to find a way to solve these problems, especially after the global stock market crash in October last year, which has strengthened the determination of many companies to move to the mainland, as long as their production costs are reduced, their products can win orders in the European and American markets.

Wilson said: "I personally support Mr. Lee's view that Hong Kong will be a financial capital in the future, and our government will continue to increase its support for Hong Kong's financial industry, and at the same time strengthen its support for Hong Kong's high-tech industries, and build Hong Kong into a highland headquarters in Asia."

It's just that these are long-term plans, not something that can be completed in one or two years, and now there are tens of thousands of jobs that have just come out of the factory in Xiangjiang that need to be solved, which may be related to the production and life of tens of thousands of families. ”

Don't think that these tens of thousands of employees are small, you must know that the total population of Xiangjiang is only more than 5 million, these tens of thousands have just come out of the factory, and now it is still difficult to suddenly add tens of thousands of jobs, after all, there are already some people in Xiangjiang who are looking for jobs, and this superposition is even more severe.

In addition, there are more employees from all walks of life in Xiangjiang, and it is impossible to suddenly come up with so many positions.

Moreover, some enterprises with high technical requirements and strong professional technology, these people are simply unable to adapt, so it is very difficult to solve this problem, and it is impossible to provide so many jobs just by relying on the Xiangjiang government or one or two enterprises.
