Chapter 395
Li Mo asked coldly: "Your Excellency the Governor, do you really regard Shatoujiao as the place of the Xiangjiang River?"
There were several large-scale movements against the British, all of which were brutally suppressed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In particular, in the border areas, in order to prevent smuggling and smuggling, and to make it easier to rule, the British designated some northern areas where the "mob" were concentrated, as forbidden areas, with a total area of 3,400 hectares, or 34 square kilometers, or 8,400 acres.
Then install barbed wire fence around the perimeter, and its residents need to apply for "forbidden area paper" to enter and exit, opposite the mainland, and they must not enter and exit casually, but it is also very troublesome to enter and exit these forbidden areas. It is equivalent to invisibly turning these dozens of square kilometers into a living prison.
The strange thing is that after the return, the successive Hong Kong governors of the Xiangjiang people were also like thieves here, and it was not until more than ten years later that they were opened one after another, but they were not completely opened. Later, the Special Administrative Region set up a port in the mainland town of Sha Tau Kok, and it became lively, and the average agricultural land rose to 4 or 500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.
Li Motu's is not this, although the arable land near the port is indeed so expensive, and the remote ones are not so expensive.
Moreover, 3,000 hectares will inevitably have to be prepared to serve as future border crossings and entry and exit control points. The remaining area is less than 1,000 hectares that can be developed, including the Ho Loop, Sha Tau Kok, Heung Yuen Wai, Lin Ma Hang and Kong Wa Fu, etc., and the rest is wetlands, hills, villages and cemeteries.
Li Mo stroked his hand, it doesn't matter what kind of hill cemetery, one square meter is one square meter.
In this way, one square foot is only 100 Hong Kong dollars, less than 13 US dollars, and it will take 12 years to open up. For more than 20 years, is it still called appreciation by 50 times, just buy a few houses in China, and after more than 20 years, it can also appreciate by 40 or 50 times.
But Li Mo has a reason for his fancy to this area.
Whether it is a forbidden area or not, this is Xiangjiang, and running a business is also a Xiangjiang enterprise, and the foreign blockade will not be too strict.
Secondly, if an enterprise wants to develop, it cannot do without water circuits and communications. Especially for hydropower, Xiangjiang was very nervous about hydropower during this time, and it was against Xiangjiang, and if the company did not come, it was easy to be stuck by Xiangjiang. But if you put it here, you can bring water and electricity from the country.
Third, this place is like a big prison, the people are accustomed to nature, and Li Mo can bring in a large number of workers from China with a little reform. Even if you come to Xiangjiang, you need to go through some procedures, and you are not afraid that these workers will be able to escape to other places in Xiangjiang and give people a handle.
Fourth, there is a very long and special fishing wharf on the side, of course, Li Mo wants to build a wharf, it is impossible to build this wharf, the tonnage of the moored ships is too small, but there are still some islands in the sea, and a deep-water wharf can be built on the island.
"Your Excellency the Governor, then, how much do you say an acre is worth in this area?"
"Two hundred thousand dollars. ”
Li Mo touched his forehead: "Your Excellency the Governor, you didn't have a fever last night, did you?"
Hao Like also smiled.
If it is US$200,000 per acre, it is equivalent to nearly US$4.6 per square foot, or HK$36. On the side are the famous Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, and opposite are the Central, Sai Wan, and Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island, and the land price per square foot is only about 50 Hong Kong dollars.
Li Mo said: "Your Excellency the Governor, there is no need to talk, you better let them go back early and prepare cash." ”
"Ask for the price, sit on the ground and pay back," Wei Yixin anxiously tugged at his arm, even speaking in Chinese.
Let's move on.
In the end, the two sides finally negotiated a few articles.
Li Mo agreed with the Hong Kong government to convert land into money, but not only the 3,400 hectares of land in the area of the forbidden area, but also the lower right corner of the forbidden area There are many hills, which belong to the hinterland, and are close to the forbidden area, and at the same time it is a mountainous area, which is inconvenient in all aspects, and the population is relatively sparse.
There can't be more people, otherwise a migration and resettlement will immediately hurt Wei Yixin again.
But he couldn't move more slopes, so Wilson gave up some land on the southern side of the Sha Tau Kok Peninsula.
The specific location is close to the later Lo Wu Port in the west, and the following reaches Fanling and Pat Sin Ling, including Lung Yeuk Tau, Hok Serv Wai, Nam Chung, Luk Keng, Gu Po, Yung Shu Au and Lai Chi Wo. This equates to an additional 32 hectares of land, bringing the total area to 66 square kilometres.
What else should I do?
Later, Xiangjiang was every inch of land, and that did not refer to all the territory of Xiangjiang, the entire Xiangjiang was more than 1,000 square kilometers, and the really expensive places were Xiangjiang Island and Kowloon Bay, and other areas were the same. Especially in the area of the forbidden area, even if the land is placed later, as long as the forbidden area is not open, it is also worthless, and it is even more backward than the effect area of the magic capital, but it is a good place to make horror movies.
The land is not valuable, so it has to be made up for by the area.
Li Mo wanted to reclaim the sea and agreed to Li Mo's reclamation. It's not that Li Mo has to reclaim the sea, once this place is used, there are many hills, and it will inevitably blow up the mountains and move the mountains, but there is no place to put these soil and rocks, so he has to pour them into the sea at Shatoujiao. Just look at the long pier to see how shallow the sea is along the coastline, and if it is upside down, the sea will be filled.
If it is filled in well, maybe it can fill out an additional seven or eight square kilometers, which Wilsson will not see, but Li Mo knows the prospects of the special zone, and it is close to the Luohu port, if he is persuaded to agree to open another small port in Sha Tau Kok, it will also become a place where every inch of land is valuable. Of course, this has to be guarded slowly, maybe for more than ten years.
In addition, Li Mo wants to repair the wharf, and the wharf must not be repaired on Shatoujiao, the sea is too shallow, and big ships cannot enter at all, so the Hong Kong government must also agree to sell Yazhou Island opposite the Banyan Tree Recess to Li Mo.
This is a small sand island with an area only the size of a palm, but behind it is Dapeng Bay, you can build a deep-water pier on Yazhou Island, and it is very close to the banyan tree concave, less than two kilometers, build a cable bridge, you can communicate.
Even at the moment, there is not much technical difficulty.
Wei Yixin also agreed, anyway, it was the money in Li Mo's hands that was tossed.
The Hong Kong government must do a good job of resettlement for Li Mo in advance, and all the people in this area, including those in the restricted area, must relocate so that the farmland can be used as industrial and commercial land.
This is also a must, once it is placed by Li Mo, wait for a headache.
But the problem is not big, there are not many people in this area in general, and there are more than 20 villages scattered large and small, which is not as large as the population of a small district in the city. Even ninety percent of the people were still eager to leave here, Wei Yixin agreed without thinking about it.
In addition, there are large grave mountain cemeteries, which is also a headache, Li Mo promised to take out a few hills as cemeteries, and fund the construction of roads to house these graves, but the Hong Kong government must mobilize or force mobilization, and the people will move the graves to the new cemetery.
Wei Yixin had been in Xiangjiang for several years, and knew that this article might be more difficult than mobilizing the people to move, but he wanted Li Mo to buy it with a lot of money, so he had to agree.
For land use, the Hong Kong government must agree to Li Mo's use of 3,000 hectares of commercial land for commercial housing, shops, hotels, or other buildings, and the rest for industrial land or leisure parks.
Wilson agreed, but he sneered in his heart, and then I blocked the area with barbed wire and returned the commercial land...... You can't even sell a building!
In order to prevent discrimination by the Hong Kong government, arrest or judicial trial must be approved by the people of the Development Zone Committee, otherwise they are not qualified to carry out any arrest and trial work, plus which wharf Li Mo is about to build, in fact, this will become Guozhong, an independent kingdom in the future.
However, this is originally a country China, a forbidden area, and even Wilson does not want to care about it at all in the future.
This area is backward, and if it wants to develop it, it will cost a lot of money, so the Hong Kong government must agree that all taxes here, including industrial tax, commercial tax, and personal tax, must be halved within 50 years.
Wilson still agreed, if he wants to fully develop this area, the investment will be astronomical, and it will not be developed well for more than ten years, or even more than twenty years. In fact, Wilson believes that in the future, it will be impossible to develop it well.
And the return of Xiangjiang is a countdown, and there are still a few years to go to China, let China have a headache and halve this tax. But he didn't know that in the future, China not only did not take a penny of taxes from Xiangjiang, but on the contrary, it also gave all kinds of policy care.
In order to prevent the Hong Kong government from making things difficult in the future, the development zone itself must issue 1,000 "restricted area papers" every year, that is, 1,000 people are allowed to travel between the development zone and Hong Kong at will, but only 1,000 people. At the same time, in order to attract investment, the development zone is allowed to issue 1,000 certificates of permanent residence in the development zone every year, and those who get this certificate are residents of the development zone. But this development zone is a nice way to put it, and it is still a forbidden area.
Wilson agreed.
Of course, what he sees now is all kinds of backwardness in this area, but he doesn't know how powerful this personal tax halving will be linked to the certificate of permanent settlement in the future.
There are more than a dozen other articles, and all kinds of clauses of "losing power and humiliating the country" are all for the sake of "losing power and humiliating the country", and money is indispensable.
Li Mo agreed to buy the area for $3 billion.
If there are no conditions in the contract, this price is not cheap.
However, the land here is very cheap, and no matter how you sell it, it will not cover much debt. So Wilson continued to sell commercial land in South Bay to Li Mo, and it didn't take much to move five or six square kilometers of commercial land to offset the debt of six billion US dollars.
And after these commercial lands are in hand, Li Mo must develop them.
When the time comes, wait for yourself to show the color!
What color he gave, Li Mo didn't think at all, even if he won these commercial land, it would be a few years before it was developed. Therefore, it is still very cost-effective to take it down, but he thought of Xiangjiang's later events and the Liangzi formed this time, Li Mo decisively refused. Looking for discomfort?
Many, much short...... What to do? The men walked out and whispered.
"Uncle Yang, can you see it?"
"Boss, what do you see?"
"Why does Wei Yi repay debts with credit, do you know how this model works?"
"I don't know. ”
"This kind of operation is equivalent to the Hong Kong government selling the land to me at a high price, and then lending the money from the land sale to these businessmen. The Hong Kong government didn't pay a penny, but pulled these businessmen out of the quagmire, and they were more grateful to the Hong Kong government, or the British government. These businessmen are also very famous and bigwigs in Xiangjiang, so a few years later, the sovereignty is in me, and it is the British government that actually controls Xiangjiang secretly. ”
In this operation, the heaviest losses were the various British companies.
Wilson had to be saved.
The second is the various Xiangjiang merchants, but most of the merchants are pro-British merchants, and Wilsin must also be saved.
That's the truth.
After a while, dozens of people returned.
Li Mo didn't want it, but he still couldn't take out so much cash, so he had to continue to convert it with stocks.
These people all hold a large number of shares in their hands, and they have the controlling shares of their own companies, which is their fundamental place, and it is impossible to take them out. There is also investment in stocks held in the stock market, especially at the beginning of last year, Hong Kong stocks gradually recovered, and most people successively took out funds and absorbed some stocks.
They are all considered rich, and those with few assets have tens of millions of dollars, otherwise they are not qualified to follow, and most of them can have hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars.
According to the current market value, a total of $4.1 billion in stocks were taken out, which were either shares of their holding company or stocks that they thought were not worth holding, and then packaged them together with Li Mo for discounting.
After Li Mo looked at it, he said, "Give me a bunch of garbage stocks...... Hao Lik, press the garbage stock discount. ”
It is true that some stocks are junk stocks, but some stocks are still worth owning, and they are not what these people imagine. Moreover, when the Gulf War arrives next year, the Xiangjiang stock market will have another wave of small shocks, but before that, the stock price has basically risen again, so when the Gulf War comes, Li Mo must sell some stocks that he thinks are unnecessary. As for the stocks in the infrastructure industry such as real estate, tourism, water and electricity communications, these are the real high-quality stocks if they are held. Even Li Mo planned to sell all these stocks when the Gulf War came, and after the Gulf War, the stock price fell to a trough, and then reabsorb it in order to seek the difference.
It's a garbage stock, and Hollick unceremoniously gave only $2.8 billion.
Li Jiacheng said: "After giving birth, you have to leave a line in life, and you will see each other in the future." ”
"Isn't it Ah Lu Tsai?"
What Li Mo means is that you haven't looked down on me from beginning to end, and you want to force me to death, so I still have a line of fart!
For the rest, Li Mo has to pay some of the relevant handling fees and related guarantee fees in Xiangjiang, especially the overnight interest rate, because the short period is relatively long, this fee is also relatively high, and the miscellaneous calculations, plus HSBC's interest, are also nearly two billion US dollars.
There are more than 10% of retail investors, and even some people feel that they can't afford to lose money and are ready to commit suicide by jumping off a building, these people will not care, and their funds have reached nearly 3 billion.
Then they have to come up with another 11 billion dollars.
In short, Li Mo's operation this time has caused some serious consequences.
hit HSBC hard, causing HSBC to move its headquarters to London in 95, and also sabotaged Patten's plan, making Patten furious.
These pro-British businessmen were dealt a severe blow, and it took some of them three years to barely recover, and most of them were only able to recover through the profits of the mainland.
After returning to Xiangjiang, he dispatched many policemen, and even used the Flying Tigers to repeatedly clean up various gangs, causing many gangs to flee to New Zealand and other countries in advance.
hit the futures trading market in Xiangjiang, even if these people, half of them would not dare to touch futures in the future, which made Li Mo miserable this time.
Although Li Mo began to build this "development zone" on a large scale a year later, most of the materials came from the mainland, and the workers and technicians were also invited from the mainland, and Xiangjiang did not have much light.
Many Xiangjiang people became afraid of Li Mo, and some even listed Li Mo as the most unpopular person in Xiangjiang, until Soros made a move, and this impression was gradually reversed.
Three Yili outlets reopened, but in the past few years, business has been very bleak......
