Beck was driving on Tsing Long Road and felt that the number of vehicles on the road was significantly higher than when he went to cover the groundbreaking ceremony of the Lok Ma Chau Industrial Park two years ago. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info【】≥?∥≡∈.com≧.

Since the ownership of the New Territories is a lease-lease, the Hong Kong government has always been afraid that the mainland will ask for it back, and there are many concerns, so it has been unwilling to open it in a big way, and it has cheapened the big 6 government. In their plan, the New Territories is a separate zone that separates Hong Kong from Big 6, a buffer zone for Big 6 to escape when it comes, and a supply base for Hong Kong citizens to supply rice and vegetables.

At that time, in the New Territories, there were either barren mountains or farmland along the highways. Although the rural farmer's houses passing by cannot be said to be dilapidated, they are not good, many of them are single-storey bungalows, and the best ones are only two-story small buildings.

Occasionally, there are some large manor-like buildings, which are also the residences of large landowners.

But this time he felt that a lot had changed, first the road was much wider and much smoother.

At present, there are only two passages connecting the city of Hong Kong from Big 6, one is Tai Po Highway in the east and the other is Castle Peak Road in the west.

Castle Peak Highway passes through San Tin via Lok Ma Chau, passes Yuen Long from the east, passes through the Lion Rock Tunnel through the old roadbed of the present-day Yuen Long Highway, and finally reaches Kowloon via Tsuen Wan.

These two roads are mainly responsible for transporting fresh water procured from the Mainland to urban areas for daily necessities. Or the materials purchased by the mainland through Hong Kong are transported back to Da 6, which are mainly container trucks in general, and the quantity is not much.

As a result, some sections of the road are simply one-way streets, and the road conditions are not very good, and many sections are smooth dirt roads. Net.╃.

Nowadays, the road has changed greatly, the original dirt roads have become asphalt roads, and some sections have been repaired with cement pavement, which is much smoother. The road has also been widened from two-way two-lane and some one-way streets to two-way four-lane, greatly increasing the traffic capacity.

The second is that there are more cars on the road.

The last time I came, there were barefoot farmers and ploughing cattle walking on the road, and it took half a day to see a container truck and bus passing by.

But this time, there was a constant flow of traffic on the road, with container trucks, slag trucks, heavy trailers carrying construction equipment, and buses. From time to time, a motorcycle roars past from the opposite side or behind it, throttle.

The second is that the bus stops have become denser.

Bus stops, which were rarely seen before, have now become very dense, with a stop sign for basically every kilometer. From time to time, I see buses stopping on the side of the road, picking up and dropping off passengers.

The passengers were dressed much better than they had seen last time, with fewer peasants dressed in rustic clothes and more people dressed up in the city. Looking at their dark faces and rough hands, they should be local villagers, and judging from their clothes alone, they are not much different from those in the city.

Another change is that the farmland on both sides has been reduced in size, and some new small hoarding areas, industrial and commercial buildings have appeared.

Many farmlands may have just completed land acquisition, and land leveling work is underway, and remnants of fields can still be seen. Construction machinery and construction workers are busy on the land, bulldozers pushing off sections of fields, and road rollers rumbling and rolling over the loose ground. ≈≥⊥≈≦ ≦≡.

In the past two years, because of the two major projects of game consoles and portable tape recorders, Hong Kong has created a direct income of four or five billion US dollars a year, although a large part of the cost of purchased components has been transferred to upstream manufacturers and flowed out of Hong Kong through banks, but in fact, the funds left in Hong Kong have exceeded one billion. The resulting collateral marginal benefits are more than HK$20 billion.

When the Hong Kong government officially made the decision to vigorously develop the electronics industry and opened several industrial parks, electronics companies from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea have settled in. The initial construction investment was huge, and the cost of building factories, leasing office buildings, and recruiting workers was also expensive.

These new revenues have cumulated, and the hot money pouring into Hong Kong has really exceeded three billion US dollars!

With a small market of only 6 million people in Hong Kong, there is a sudden influx of 3 billion US dollars, or 17 to 8 billion Hong Kong dollars. As a result, cement, steel, construction, finance, stock market, services and other industries have generated a total of no less than 100 billion yuan in total capital flows!

Stimulated by these hot money, Hong Kong's economy in the past two years can be described as hot, and the stock market has repeatedly hit new highs, attracting many old grandfathers and old ladies who have never known what stocks are into the stock market, and investing their hard-earned savings in the stock market.

The economy is booming, and the tax revenue received by the Hong Kong government is also rising.

The government has money in its hands, and at the same time, in order to allow more high-quality enterprises to gain a foothold in Hong Kong, it has changed hands and spent the money to build a large number of roads and subways to speed up the progress of industrial parks.

The outbreak of the Falklands War not only did not make the British authorities in Hong Kong worry about the decline of the empire on which the sun never sets, but on the contrary, they saw Britain's determination to defend its own rights and interests. ∥ ∧≥≧ ≥≧∥.╊╃.┮

On April 3, when the Falklands fell, the British Parliament unanimously passed the decision to sever diplomatic relations with Argentina and go to war for the first time since World War II. Thatcher formed a wartime cabinet, showing a tough attitude of never admitting defeat. On the same day, a task force was formed to expedition to the Falklands, and a naval and air blockade of the 200-nautical-mile area around the Falklands was announced.

The task force also lived up to expectations, and No. 3 was confirmed, and No. 5 went to sea separately with its ships and civilian ships scattered in various places.

In just a few days, the civilian ship was converted into a troop carrier and a hospital ship. On the long-distance journey of 13,000 nautical miles, the fleet not only realized the centralization and unification of command, worked out a battle plan, completed the battle sequence formation, and also carried out several combat exercises.

As one of the most important colonies of the British Empire in the Far East, the British authorities in Hong Kong and the people of Hong Kong were extremely concerned about this war.

When they saw on television the British Navy's efficient level of mobilization, four days after the declaration of war, a submarine rushed to the war zone to begin to carry out the blockade order, and in just three days, a civilian ship was converted into a hospital ship, and the marshalling and actual combat drills were completed on the way, everyone was moved.

When the task force arrived on the Falklands in late April, the special forces parachuted in to find out the defense of the Afghan army, the fleet went out on the third day, recovered the South Island on the fourth day, and the whole fleet arrived on the Falklands on the seventh day to begin the blockade.

This kind of overwhelming offensive, and the modern three-dimensional combat mode of integrating sea and sky, was edited and broadcast publicly around the world through television screens, so as to show the world the muscles of Britain and tell all countries: Although we are in decline, no matter where we are, no matter how far away we are from our homeland, as long as anyone dares to infringe on the interests of the British Empire, we will still not hesitate to fight, and we can win the war!

This is the symbol of a strong country. Net.┼

Britain's unusually hard-line attitude has given the British authorities a shot in the arm in the arm, and they believe even more that Britain will be able to keep Hong Kong, the pearl of the Orient. We will further open up Hong Kong and vigorously develop the electronics industry.

It was the Hong Kong stock market, which had already rushed to a high point and had no follow-up, that because of the great power strength displayed by Britain in the Falklands War, it once again rose sharply and set a new record.

The Hong Kong Government's determination to open up the New Territories has never wavered.

In late April alone, the Hong Kong government announced the auction of 12 industrial plots, 25 residential plots, and 18 commercial plots, with a total scale of more than 4,000 mu and nearly 3 square kilometers. In imperial terms, that's more than 30 million square feet.

Dapu, North District and Shatin, the three industrial parks have entered the stage of substantial development after the completion of the first phase of construction, the successful completion of highway reconstruction and expansion, and hydropower and communication supporting projects.

This is only the second phase of the plan, and there will be three and four phases to follow, aiming to build three new central urban areas and seven satellite cities in the New Territories, and resettle three million new people, so as to become the driving force of Hong Kong's future economic growth.

Driven by this comprehensive development, a large amount of capital has been transferred from the south to the north, and various newly started plots have sprung up everywhere.

With the completion of the reconstruction and expansion project of Tsing Long Highway and Yuen Long Highway, the northwest corner has also become a hot spot.

When Baker drove to the intersection of Tsing Long Highway and Castle Peak Highway, turned north into San Tin, and drove to Lok Ma Chau, the feeling was different.

For Hong Kong, Lok Ma Chau is a very special place.

Lok Ma Chau is the lowest-lying place in Hong Kong, along the line of the Shenzhen River, with a minimum altitude of less than one metre and a maximum of more than ten metres. However, during the rainy season, a large amount of rainwater flows down from the mountainous areas and flows into the Shenzhen River through Lok Ma Chau and flows westward into Shenzhen Bay.

Long-term rainwater has turned into an overgrown wetland.

At the same time, it is also a famous forbidden place!

In order to cut off the connection between Hong Kong and the mainland and prohibit mainland residents from entering, the Hong Kong government has designated this narrow strip of land as a forbidden area, with guard towers, patrolled by the military and police with loaded guns and ammunition, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Once an existing person has infiltrated, the military police have the power to shoot at them.

The last time Baker visited, all he saw was a tidal flat full of stagnant weeds.

But on the other hand, among the four electronic industrial zones planned by the Hong Kong government, the Lok Ma Chau Industrial Park is the largest.

According to the agreement reached with Guan Fei, the Hong Kong government has designated the south bank of the Shenzhen River and the west of the Lok Ma Chau Loop, which is 1 kilometer wide and 4.2 kilometers long, as industrial land in the Lok Ma Chau Electronics Industrial Park.

The total area of the park is 4.2 square kilometers, with 420 hectares of land.

If you convert it to the imperial unit customary on Hong Kong Island, it is about 1,040 acres, 45 million square feet!

There has never been a real estate developer on the island who can get such a large piece of land at one time.

The Hong Kong government will generously hand over this land to Guan Fei, which is naturally not a sign of goodwill.

They have already conducted many field surveys on this land, and now the terrain is too low-lying, but during the rainy season, a large amount of rain and flash floods pour down from the south. At high tide, the sea water backs up and submerges the entire strip of water.

It is extremely difficult to open such a place effectively.

Especially in the humid summer, it is easy to cause damage to delicate electronic products, and it is definitely not an ideal place for industrial parks.

The Hong Kong government is happy to see Guan Fei trapped on this piece of land, constantly consuming financial strength.

The larger the plot, the more money will be spent on the renovation and the longer the construction period. The harsh natural conditions make the construction cost of the plant higher, the equipment maintenance cycle is shorter, and it is one step behind others in the subsequent competition.

Guan Fei is willing to choose this place as the location of the industrial park, they are too late to be happy, where will they stop it.

Anyway, they couldn't find a worse place on Hong Kong Island than Lok Ma Chau. In terms of value, it is just a forbidden area to block exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and there has not been any wasteland that has been opened before.

Although he was deceived later, Guan Fei was not an agent of the big 6 at all, and the Hong Kong government was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded the liars, thinking that they had nothing to lose, they also obtained a full set of technology and patent authorization for the portable tape recorder from the other party.

But as it turned out, they were wrong again.
