"Mr. Mak Ruobin, the demands of the Hong Kong people are actually very simple: the new airport project, which costs more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, is all the money of Hong Kong taxpayers! The vast majority of countries in the world will give priority to the interests of their own enterprises when conducting large-scale government project bidding!

However, how much share did Hong Kong enterprises get in the bidding for projects in the previous bidding by the Hong Kong government? Did the Hong Kong government authorities consider protecting the interests of Hong Kong local enterprises in advance when drawing up the bidding regulations? We Hong Kong people just hope that the Hong Kong government authorities will not just pay lip service to the words of fighting for the interests of our Hong Kong people, but will put it into practice!

I think that the 50 percent share of Hong Kong enterprises in the entire Hong Kong infrastructure project is already a bottom line that cannot be lowered! According to the budget plan of 200 billion Hong Kong dollars at the earliest, a contract of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars is enough for the Hong Kong government to balance the interests of all overseas parties! At the same time, when foreign-funded enterprises participate in the bidding for the new airport, they must promise to recruit a specified proportion of local jobs in Hong Kong, which is also a common international practice!

As for the specific figure of this ratio, we can ask the members of the Legislative Council to work with the relevant departments of the Hong Kong Government to determine it in light of foreign cases and the actual situation of this case!" Li Xuan continued to put forward his own demand, regardless of Mai Ruobin's mood.

You must know that Mak Ruobin made an appointment with Li Xuan today, but under the pretext of communicating the will of the Hong Kong people for the new airport plan, Li Xuan naturally has to take on the role of fighting for the interests of the Hong Kong people.

"Mr. Li, many of the bidding plans for the new airport project have been completed, and the winning bidders have been announced, so it is never appropriate to push it all at this time!" Mai Ruobin shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency Mai Ruobin, I don't think so! Although part of the bidding for the airport project has been completed, this project has not actually started on a large scale! This has been delayed for almost a year, and everyone must be able to understand that this is a force majeure! We just take this opportunity to reformulate a more detailed and reasonable bidding regulations, and I believe that most of the bidding units can still accept it!

If they really find it difficult to accept it for a while, the six or seven million Hong Kong citizens in Hong Kong will help them quickly recognize the reality! You don't have to worry about this at all, after all, this project is still carried out on Hong Kong soil in the end, and enterprises are here to make money rather than make enemies! If it is true that some enterprises have already invested some resources in advance, I believe that the Hong Kong government will pay one or two million Hong Kong dollars in liquidated damages in line with the principle of responsibility, and the broad masses of Hong Kong citizens will be able to fully understand!" Li Xuan patiently explained.

If the bidding is successful, will you really be able to get the project? Please don't be so naïve, okay! The governments of Mexico and Malaysia have used actual cases to tell the world that there is no reason why Hong Kong can't learn what is the right of final interpretation!

Mai Ruobin listened to the other party's sincere but threatening words everywhere, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this God of Wealth Li is not a person to mess with. In fact, in addition to communicating the so-called new airport plan, the purpose of his meeting with the other party today is also to ease the contradiction between Wilson and the world's richest man.

"I feel that Mr. Li seems to have some dissatisfaction with the Hong Kong government?" asked Mak tentatively.

"That's true, I and the Oriental Bloc have always been committed to maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong government has recently given me the feeling that this is not the case!" Li Xuan said very calmly.

"I think Mr. Li, you may have some misunderstandings about His Excellency Wilson and his team, and the issue of safeguarding Hong Kong's long-term prosperity is our common position!" Mak Ruobin hurriedly said.

"Is that right? Although I have been very careful to observe the policies and strategies of the Hong Kong government in the past period of time, and I almost put them under a microscope to study, I really did not find any positive signals from the Hong Kong governor and the Hong Kong government authorities at all! Take the new airport project as an example, the initial budget was as high as 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Hong Kong governor and his colleagues really did not fall asleep when listening to the budget report?

I'm not saying that there is no need to build a new airport, but now that Kai Tak Airport is operating at full capacity, Hong Kong really needs a bigger new airport! But this does not mean that we have to invest a lot of money in this project! You British people will have to walk away in seven years, but we in Hong Kong will stay on this land for the rest of our lives!

You British and China are separated by the entire Asian continent, while Hong Kong and Chinese mainland are separated by only a narrow boundary river. Hong Kong is approaching its return to the motherland, and what we need is not for you to teach us the people like a Buddha, but to create opportunities for better communication and integration between us and our mother country!

Previously, Mr. Chung Sze-yuen, the chief non-official member of the Legislative Council, proposed a plan to build a cross-sea bridge between the Hong Kong Tin Shui Wai Electronic Industrial Park and the Shekou Industrial Zone of the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone to accelerate the process of Shenzhen-Hong Kong integration! This is a very forward-looking great idea, Hong Kong has a small amount of land and many people, and the high cost of land has forced a large number of low-end industries to move north one after another in the past ten years!

However, if Shenzhen and Hong Kong can realize the integrated planning, they will be able to carry out the industrial division of labor and keep high-value and high-tech enterprises in Hong Kong, so as not to completely hollow out Hong Kong's industry! However, the Hong Kong authorities have completely ignored such a novel and practical proposal, and are only bent on carrying out such extravagant projects as a new airport!

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Hong Kong government does not want to build a cross-sea bridge out of concern about cooperation with China, it doesn't matter, we can postpone it and let the new government after '97 push forward this project! However, the Hong Kong governor, as the consul of Hong Kong, is also ignoring the current upgrading and transformation of Hong Kong's industry, so it is really too much to say!

As far as I know, in the past five or six years, Hong Kong's academic and industrial circles have written to the Hong Kong Government on more than one occasion, hoping that the authorities will show sufficient support to support Hong Kong's development in the high-tech field! But every time there is a loud thunder and a small raindrop, His Excellency the Governor attaches no more importance to these strong voices than the new airport!

Not to mention one or two hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, as long as 10 billion Hong Kong dollars are allocated to support high-tech industries such as electronics and semiconductors, Hong Kong's industry will be able to quickly complete its upgrading and transformation!" Li Xuan unceremoniously criticized sharply.

Mai Ruobin listened to Li Xuan quietly, and still maintained a calm look on his face. He already understood what Li Xuan meant, and it was not so much that he had an opinion on the governor of Hong Kong, Wilsson, but rather that he had an opinion on the British Hong Kong-Hong Kong policy! In the eyes of Li Xuan and the Oriental Department behind him, the British authorities in Hong Kong had not contributed to their development, so naturally they could not get their support!

If possible, I still hope that you and him will have an open and frank dialogue in person, perhaps this will clear up many unnecessary misunderstandings between the two of you!" Mai Ruobin said a little helplessly.

"Of course, if His Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong is willing, I can even invite him to the live broadcast hall of Asia Satellite TV to discuss the best development strategy for Hong Kong's economy in front of more than six million citizens in Hong Kong!" Li Xuan pouted and said, "The term of office of this government is just over a year old, and I am now looking forward to the last governor of Hong Kong, and Downing Street can choose a more responsible candidate!"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at Mai Ruobin with a little meaning.
