At the beginning of September 82, the new British Prime Minister Margaret Hilda Thatcher arrived in Hong Kong and successively visited Hong Kong political and business figures, trying to persuade various local forces in Hong Kong to move closer to Britain and create resistance to Beijing on the issue of Hong Kong's future.

As a hawk, Thatcher said that he did not admit the consensus that had been negotiated in Beijing before the former prime minister left office in April this year, but tried to give him political prestige through the Hong Kong negotiations.

Obviously, Margaret Thatcher was later rated higher, but she overestimated her ability, and nominally cut costs by dismantling Britain's state-owned enterprises, but the problem was that most of the state-owned enterprises sold were profitable, so that the British government's finances did not improve, but the deficit and debt rose further. This kind of practice of increasing the value of the term of office through overdraft for a long time is a typical example of bureaucrats taking credit and passing the buck.

Lin Qi saw Margaret Thatcher for a while and said coldly: "The most important thing for Britain is not to stare at the Hong Kong issue, but to be pragmatic, adjust your mentality, and adapt to the sense of loss in the post-British Empire era, that is to say, after the war in the 40s, you are not an empire, but a small second-rate country with a small area and a small population, and the biggest problem for Britain is that the internal economy is sluggish, especially in terms of innovation, which is not leading." Claiming to be the boss, this is a matter for the Yankees, they have the strength to make things around the world, and they can basically maintain the interests of the hegemon by doing things, and you no longer have the hegemony of the era of the empire on which the sun never sets, so you should at least respect the spirit of the contract, okay? Hong Kong is leased, and the lease expires in 99 years, that is, in 97 years. With China's current military strength, it is not believed that Britain can have the slightest military threat capability to China. ”

Mrs. Thatcher's face was a little gloomy, and she said: "Mr. Lin, haven't you considered that if Hong Kong is returned to China, you can still ensure that they respect your private property as they do now, and allow a big capitalist like you with tens of billions of assets?"

"Prime Minister, I can't be sure about this, so I'm going to diversify my investments. Even if you are bullish on one country, you will not invest your assets in the only country. If Mars can be invested, even if it is a loss, Weiye is willing to invest a small part of its assets in Mars to hedge against possible risks on Earth. Lin Qi said with a smile, "For the time being, the current Britain is doing its own thing." For example, it is more important than anything else to seize the time to upgrade your industry and improve your own economic structure, because your bunch of industries are losing their competitiveness in the world, and capital does not invest in economic fields that can make money, but comes to whitewash the hegemony of the British Empire that has long ceased to exist. There are also problems with your economic reforms, and selling assets is not a good way to solve the government's finances, but optimizing governance is. Tax cuts, reducing the taxes of a certain group of people, and more people do not feel the tax pressure is reduced, which is purely to convey benefits to specific groups of people, not reform. ”

"I took Mr. Lin's advice to heart. "Thatcher's face was not so good-looking, and the expression read, I remember you, on the blacklist!

The conversation between Lin Qi and Margaret Thatcher naturally broke up unhappily.

Subsequently, Lin Qi saw Margaret Thatcher's entourage, and inexplicably thought of the 007 movie, as well as the scale of British agents. That's right, even though it is no longer a non-colonial empire, the current British secret service is still the most famous one in the world. Although there are not as many things as the United States, they often cause trouble, especially in Hong Kong now, there will definitely be a large number of British agents.

Although Lin Qi generally believed that he would be fine, he still did not feel at ease to run to Shenzhen.

After all, even if it is as powerful as the president of the United States and the president of the world, there have been many assassinations during his term of office in history, not to mention that Lin Qi is a businessman.

……

"Boss Lin, although your patriotic enthusiasm is admirable, pay attention to protect yourself. After Lin Qi came to Shenzhen, he met a bigwig from the Guangzhou Military Region and came to offer condolences.

"My biggest problem with this person is that I don't look at the person I'm talking to. Lin Qi laughed at himself and said, "Of course, I regretted it after the mouth cannon, and my head was full of scenes from the 007 movie." ”

"Mr. Lin can live in Shenzhen for a while, this is our territory. The military tycoon said, "After Margaret Thatcher visits the capital, return to England, and then you can return to Hong Kong." Also, take care of safety ......"

Lin Qi was not at all surprised that the army was so well-informed, because Lin Qi recruited a large number of veterans who had made meritorious contributions on the front line in Vietnam in the context of domestic disarmament. There must be people who have infiltrated from the country, and there are not a few of them. In this way, Lin Qi's conversation with the British Prime Minister was accompanied by two bodyguards. I am afraid that at least one of these two bodyguards is a member of the secret front that has infiltrated the country.

At this point, Lin Qi is not afraid that these personnel will be unfavorable to him, on the contrary, having this kind of person around him will make Lin Qi safer.

After hiding in Shenzhen, Lin Qi was not idle, and often went to Shenzhen's new venture industrial park to inspect his industry.

For this industrial park, the construction of 500 million Hong Kong dollars was invested by the new venture electronics group, and the industrial park was all handed over to Lin Qi for development, of course, water, electricity, communications and sewers will not be funded by the government. These 500 million funds, in fact, can't do much better infrastructure construction, so the project is gradually developed. At present, 150 million of the 500 million investment has been spent. The first phase of the project was carried out, and the plant of 210,000 square meters was completed, and 180,000 square meters were rough. The current rental price is 3 yuan per month for 1 square meter, so the monthly income is only 1 million yuan.

This rent standard seems to be not low in China, but it is very cheap compared to Hong Kong.

You know, the rent of office space in Hong Kong is now two or three hundred Hong Kong dollars per square meter. Although the rent of the factory is relatively cheap, the monthly rent per square meter is still as high as about 30 yuan.

In other words, the factory rent of the new venture industrial park is one-tenth of that of its Hong Kong counterpart.

"We are now completing an average of 30,000 square meters of buildings every month. Although the monthly expenditure reaches 20 million, the income is only more than 1 million, which is less than a fraction of the expenditure. However, as more and more areas are completed and leased, it is possible that the cash flow will be positive within three years. After passing this investment stage, you can earn an extremely stable income by collecting rent for a long time in the future. Rong Jian said, "At present, it can be about seven or eight hundred yuan per square meter, and this is to ensure that our quality is a high standard in the world!"

Lin Qi nodded and said: "Our factory must be sturdy and durable, not to be unusable for more than ten or twenty years, but to tear down and rebuild." ”

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, many construction projects blindly pursued low cost and high efficiency, and as a result, tofu slag projects frequently appeared. Lin Qi does not seek to save money on building materials, so he builds according to the highest standards at present. However, due to the fact that most of the building materials (except steel) in most parts of the country are much cheaper than in the future, even if the standard is set to a high standard for a service life of 100 years, it will not cost much.

"Of course!" Rong Jian said, "of course, I have to make a long-term rent-collecting industry, of course, more durable." ”

There are a lot of long-term rental assets in Hong Kong, for example, some real estate projects held by Diwang Land, many of which are decades old, and some buildings in the future are even 100 years old, and they can still collect rent stably.

Comparing the quality of the buildings, it can be found that the quality of the buildings of many established real estate companies that have been profiting from rents for a long time is stronger than the buildings built by real estate companies that sell their properties for profit.

The industrial park planned by Lin Qi will only be rented and not sold in the future, so most of the buildings will naturally have to be considered for durability.
