Chapter 419: Of course the water dogs are shouted at by everyone!
In the banquet hall of the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion with a golden wall, Yang Weiping changed into a navy blue Tang dress formal dress, and walked side by side with Mai Lihao in a suit and leather shoes, talking softly while slowly descending the stairs on the second floor.
"Isn't that Dr. John Young!"
"The cake seller! It turned out to be Baron John Young!"
"I'll just say it! The person who can make Sir Mak so grand must be a big man!"
"It's Director Yang!"
"Director Yang has come to Hong Kong, why is there no news before?"
“……”
Among the guests were many family members of Chinese-owned companies, as well as Hong Kong tycoons who had invested in the mainland.
If we say that since China's reform and opening up, the No. 1 leader ranks first, and Yang Weiping, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, can definitely rank second.
Tiangong International Group is recognized as the first brother in Hong Kong's industrial and commercial circles, and even in the entire Southeast Asian industrial and commercial circles, no one can shake its leading position.
It's just that Sir John Young, chairman of Tiangong International Group, has never openly appeared in Hong Kong since the "Tiangong incident" occurred more than two years ago. However, the Hong Kong media and newspapers often have large articles and commentaries on Sir John Young's deeds.
In particular, the world-sensational engagement ceremony held in the capital of China during the Spring Festival this year made Hong Kong's wealthy people talk about it.
Cheung Kong Asset Group, Sun Hung Kai Properties Group, Henderson Land Development Company, CLP Holdings Limited, Amyco Corporation, New World Development Limited, Global Shipping Group, Nan Fung Group, Hang Lung Group and other local business groups in Hong Kong have a variety of business dealings with Tiangong International Group.
Lee Kar-shing, Pao Yu-gang, Michael Kadoorie, Lee Chiu-ki and others were also fortunate to attend Sir Young's engagement banquet. is no stranger to Sir Young.
Seeing that there were many familiar faces in the crowd looking at him in the hall, Yang Weiping smiled and nodded. On such a solemn occasion. The host did not speak, and of course it was inconvenient for him as a guest to be noisy.
"Gentlemen and ladies. Mai Lihao raised his voice with a smile on his face: "Today." You are very welcome to come here and attend my private reception for Sir John Young. As we all know, Hong Kong can have today's prosperity because of Tiangong International Group. Tiangong High-tech Industrial Park is inseparable.
As we all know, Sir Yang is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Tiangong International Group, but also an important official of the mainland government of China. It can be said that he has a lot of opportunities and is busier than me, the governor of Hong Kong.
However, we are very fortunate to be here today because Sir Young has made a special trip to Hong Kong! I believe that Sir Young is here. It will certainly bring new opportunities for the further development of Hong Kong's economy! Now, let us welcome Sir Yang to say a few words to you with warm applause!"
The warm and warm applause of "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa......" resounded throughout the sky of the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
"What Sir Merrihao just said. It's really embarrassing to be under it. As soon as Yang Weiping's voice started, the banquet hall immediately became quiet, he looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone knows that Tiangong Group started in Hong Kong, was born in Hong Kong, and it is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of every Tiangong worker to contribute to the economic development of Hong Kong.
The fact that Hong Kong can have today's prosperity and become Asia's financial center and high-tech center is the result of the wise leadership of Governor Mak Ryhao, the result of the dedication and dedication of all of you, and the result of the joint efforts of the people of Hong Kong.
......The applause was warmer and louder than in the previous round.
"When I came to Hong Kong this time, I brought my fiancée on vacation. After the scene quieted down, Yang Weiping continued: "However, on the first day I arrived in Hong Kong, my fiancée and I were maliciously molested and humiliated by a Hong Kong gentleman!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the banquet hall suddenly exploded.
"Which son's son would be so bold?"
"It's so unbelievable!"
"It's really unreasonable, and it must not be spared!"
"I just don't know whether to live or die!"
“……”
"It can't be Peter Chen's second son, right?" Guo Bingxiang looked thoughtfully at Li Jiacheng beside him and asked softly.
"It's very possible! Otherwise, why didn't I see Peter Chen here today?" Li Jiacheng, who was standing in the front row, nodded and replied.
"Guo Dong and Li Dong guessed right!" Yang Weiping nodded with Guo Bingxiang and Li Jiacheng, who were less than three meters away, and said in a slightly cold tone: "This bastard who keeps saying that he wants to kill me Yang is Chen Yiming, the second son of Chen Peter's family in Chen's real estate! As we all know, I, John Yang, have never bullied others, and have always adhered to the principle of doing things with others. But, this time, I couldn't bear it!
I would like to take this opportunity today to solemnly announce that I have authorized Tiangong International Group to launch an all-round attack on all the businesses of Chen's Real Estate in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia! In order to avoid unnecessary losses to you, what to do, I believe you should all know in your hearts!"
As soon as Yang Weiping's words fell, he saw that many people below immediately took out their mobile phones and pulled out the call.
"Stop the business with Chen's Real Estate immediately, don't ask what is going on, execute it immediately!"
"You hurry up and ask someone to go to Peter Chen's house and get back the money you borrowed before, and you'd rather lose a little interest than that!
"Throw away all the shares of Chen's Real Estate in your hand! Yes, all of them! Do it immediately!"
"Notify the loan department and order Chen's Real Estate to repay the money immediately, otherwise, freeze all their assets in the bank!"
“……”
Seeing the various situations of life pushed by everyone in the middle of the field, Mai Lihao suddenly understood why Sir Yang suddenly chose to say this in public at this time. He is putting pressure on Hong Kong's wealthy to bankrupt Chan's properties overnight!
Moreover, when he does this, it also has the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and he can look on coldly, in Hong Kong, who is his friend and who is his enemy.
It seems that Sir Yang is coming to Hong Kong this time, and it is very likely that he is coming to Liwei!
The sins of heaven are especially forgivable, and the sins of others cannot be lived. Chen's Real Estate is completely finished this time.
Thinking of what he heard over the years that Peter Chen colluded with Hong Kong gangsters to do a lot of illegal things, Mak Lihao couldn't help but be relieved. Perhaps, the police can take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a sweep of gangsters in Hong Kong and comprehensively clean up Hong Kong's social security problems.
Reservoir dogs, naturally, everyone shouts and beats.
For the life and death of Chen's real estate and the Chen family, Yang Weiping now does not need to pay attention to it, and there are some things that Qiu Fang will hand over to the people of Dongxing Society to deal with.
After greeting Mak Lihao and other officials of the British government in Hong Kong, Yang Weiping asked Mak Lihao to arrange a small hall for him, and invited Li Jiacheng, Guo Bingxiang, Li Zhaoji, Fok Yingdong, Zhuang Shiping, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong, Chen Tinghua, Chen Qizong, and other Chinese businessmen who had large investments in the mainland.
The large-scale development of the western region requires more foreign and Hong Kong businessmen to invest and start businesses, and since he has come to Hong Kong, Yang Weiping will certainly not miss such a good opportunity.
In addition, Yang Weiping brought together these Hong Kong tycoons who have friendly relations with the mainland government, and another meaning is to remind them that Hong Kong's current real estate speculation has been too hot.
In the late '70s and early '80s, real estate prices in Hong Kong were almost weirdly hot.
When the wind of speculation is the hottest, speculators simply speculate on the whole building, forming a boom of "speculating in buildings" and "speculating in hotels". At that time, there were frequent reports of the entire commercial building changing hands at high prices in the prosperous commercial districts of Central, Wan Chai, and Tsim Sha Tsui East, among which the most talked-about was the Golden Gate Building in Admiralty, and the speculation of the federal and international buildings in Central.
Between December 1978 and September 1980, the Golden Gate Building changed hands three times, and the price increased from $715 million to $1.68 billion, an increase of 135% in less than two years.
Between August 1980 and January 1981, the two buildings of the Federation and the International changed hands twice, and the price rose from 1.089 billion yuan to 2.235 billion yuan, an increase of more than 1 time in just half a year.
The blazing wind of property speculation further pushed up land prices and property prices, which were far from the actual affordability of Hong Kong people at that time.
According to statistics, in 1975, the price of a 400-square-foot residential unit was about $92,000 per square foot in small and medium-sized residential buildings in Hong Kong.
At that time, the average monthly household income of Hong Kong residents was $1,300 (calculated based on the work of the husband and wife), and the purchase of a small residential flat was equivalent to 70.8 months' wages (i.e. about 6 years) of the public's salary.
However, at the peak of the property market in 1981, the price per square foot of a small residential unit had risen to about $1,000, the price of a 400 square foot residential unit had increased to about $300,000, and the average monthly income of a family was about $3,000, which was equivalent to 101.5 months' (i.e. about eight and a half years) of wages for a small residential unit.
At that time, property prices in Hong Kong were not based on the level of economic development and the ability of ordinary people to pay, and a decline in property prices was inevitable when consumers' wages were far from keeping up with the increase in property prices.
In 1981, Hong Kong's real estate market had become sluggish, and vacant units had increased significantly, and in 1980, the vacancy rate of newly built residential buildings was as high as 41.3%, and a large number of units were stranded in the hands of speculators. It is only a matter of time before the real estate market collapses.
1982 will be the bleakest year for Hong Kong's real estate industry in the past seven or eight years, with land prices, property prices and rents falling sharply across the board. Many speculators went bankrupt and jumped off buildings, and even large real estate developers such as Cheung Kong Industrial, Sun Hung Kai Properties and Henderson Land Development Company were also seriously damaged.
If he can take advantage of this opportunity to wake up these people and let them secretly hand over the land and real estate in their hands to those "banana people" Hong Kong businessmen who are not friendly to China, and ruthlessly trap these "banana people", Yang Weiping will of course be happy to see it.
