Chapter 1152: The Insidious British

Of course, patriots such as Mr. Shao Lao and the Huo family will not be tempted by this so-called "welfare", but it is undeniable that there will still be many people who will receive this "welfare", as long as one-tenth, it will be a heavy blow to Hong Kong Island.

"David, talent is only one aspect, we still have to do a lot of things, the most complete is to siphon out all the funds on Hong Kong Island, make Hong Kong Island a debt-ridden place, and give China a mess!"

Proton said viciously.

This Proton was still talking about freedom and equality just now, but now he has completely changed his face.

"This ......... It's a bit difficult, after all, China and we signed a statement, and if we undermine this statement, the other side will have an excuse to attack us!"

"David, these things can't be carried out blatantly, we have to have our own means, such as using the financial, insurance and welfare systems, I now have a way to make sure that the Chinese government is helpless!"

A sinister smile appeared on Proton's face.

"Then tell me about it, and make me happy too!"

David was also excited when he heard it.

"This .........!"

Proton pretended to think about it.

"Proton, I've done a lot of work for your succession, don't you even tell me a plan? Don't worry, I will leave Hong Kong Island in three months, and all your plans will be designated and executed by you, and I will not rob you of your credit!"

"Well, I can tell you that I am now preparing to formulate a new welfare policy, that is, to greatly increase the welfare benefits of Hong Kong Island residents from next year, so that the annual welfare budget will increase at a rate of more than 20 percent, so that by '97, the welfare of Hong Kong Island residents will reach the level of our country.

Proton said "proudly".

"Haha, Boteng, your trick is really clever, when China takes over, if they continue the welfare treatment, then there will be a huge financial crisis, a place with a per capita income of only one-third of us can not afford such a huge welfare expenditure, but if China cancels the welfare treatment, then of course the people will resist, and then we can find an excuse to attack them, high, this trick is too powerful. ”

That's right, Proton's trick is really very vicious, and the current social welfare on Hong Kong Island has just entered the level of developed countries, and the welfare level of the United Kingdom is far from the same.

The level of welfare is consistent with the national strength of the country, and no country in the world will formulate a welfare system that exceeds its own level with its weak national strength.

The per capita annual income of Hong Kong Island is now $11,000, while that of the United States is $37,000, and Britain is about the same as the United States, that is to say, the per capita income of Hong Kong Island is less than one-third of that of Britain, and according to the current annual growth rate of 8 percent, it will only double in six years, and there is still a big gap between Britain and Britain, and this is still under the condition that Britain's economy is not developing.

The old economic power is not comparable to the emerging capitalist region like Hong Kong Island, but Proton wants to raise the welfare benefits of Hong Kong Island to the same level as the United Kingdom in just six years, which does not increase the welfare of the people, but creates a big crisis for Hong Kong Island, and wants to find a big trouble for China.

Proton was indeed not well-intentioned, this idea had already been brewed in his heart, and it was a clever plan for him to kill two birds with one stone.

He has already calculated that according to the annual rate of 20 percent, the social welfare expenditure in '97 will be 2.5 times that of the previous 2.5 times.

At that time, Hong Kong Island's social welfare services will reach the standards of first-world countries, no less than those of Britain and the United States, and this move will not only create problems for Hong Kong Island and China, but also praise him as the last governor of Hong Kong.

As for what will happen in the future, it has nothing to do with him, if China admits to pay for it, that will also be the foundation he has laid, and if China changes its system and lowers its welfare benefits, won't this be exactly what he is doing?

This is the true face of politicians, they claim to serve the country and the people, but in fact they are for their own interests, and when their own interests conflict with the interests of the common people, they "resolutely" choose the former, that is, their own interests are the most important.

This is not so much Proton's idea, but the British idea, Proton is just an implementer, it seems to be for the sake of the people, in fact, it is to dig a hole for Hong Kong Island, but the people will not think so, they feel that they have benefited, but these benefits have no foundation at all, just like a high-rise building without a foundation, the higher it is built, the more dangerous it is, if it continues to increase, then there is only a road to collapse, and the higher it is built, the more serious the loss, and finally the people suffer.

Proton felt that this method was seamless and could definitely hit China hard, but he didn't know that Liu Lang already knew about a conspiracy.

Liu Lang's previous life, more than 20 years later, there are many secrets about the two countries before and after the handover have surfaced, and the conspiracy and tricks implemented by the last governor of Hong Kong Island have also been exposed, in fact, his trick has also brought big trouble to China, many people who do not know the truth are very dissatisfied with the country, at that time the country tried its best to make up for the losses caused by the other party, and it was also during this time period that the Asian financial crisis broke out, and the whole of Asia fell into an economic depression.

China has been the least affected by the economic crisis that has swept across Asia, and the country's domestic demand has increased dramatically, and the external depression has been offset by domestic demand.

The country was not affected much, and at the same time, they continued to support Hong Kong Island, and the people of Hong Kong Island saw the contribution made by the country to them, and then slowly calmed down.

However, in this life, Liu Lang will not let the other party's conspiracy succeed easily, he has not remembered this stubble before, and now that he sees the last governor of Hong Kong Island, the things in his previous life are immediately recalled, and when he returns to China, he will immediately report to the country, so that the country can make plans early.

In fact, it is very simple to crack this trick, now China and Britain are discussing the relevant matters of the handover every year, and it is very clear in the Sino-British statement signed a few years ago that the British side must cooperate with China in all aspects of stabilizing Hong Kong Island, and must not do anything harmful to Hong Kong Island, but this move is too sudden, and the country did not expect the other party to be so shameless before, and it will be too late after Proton implements this article.

Therefore, as long as the country clearly pointed out this clause with Britain before Botton proposed this article, then Botton had already failed, and Botton did not know that his plot had been discovered by Liu Lang, and this vicious trick in this life was destined to fail.
