"As I said before, the standard of education in Hong Kong is a bit backward, and there are only two comprehensive universities in Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong and Baptist University! The high school enrollment rate in Hong Kong is only 2%, which is far lower than the 92% penetration rate in the UK, and even fewer students can go to university in Hong Kong! In order to allow the people of Hong Kong to enjoy more rights to education, I hope that people like Mr. Lam who are passionate about education and public welfare can work with me to promote local education! Youde said to Lin Qiangsheng with some excitement.

With a penetration rate of 2%, Lin Qiangsheng suddenly thought curiously that it is not good to make Hong Kong people illiterate?

He said generously to Youde: "I have a share in promoting education in Hong Kong, Sir Youde, please rest assured that I will support you!" ”

Youde looked at Lin Qiangsheng and nodded with a smile and said, "I hope that during my tenure, more Hong Kong people can receive high school education and set up a few more universities!" All of this depends on a healthy and stable economic environment, and I hope that Mr. Lam will also participate in making Hong Kong's economy more prosperous! ”

He said with some sighs: "As far as I know, Mr. Lin started in the financial industry, and Hong Kong's small economy can't help but be in turmoil!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and did not express or respond to Youde's words, Youde was a little disappointed that he did not get Lin Qiangsheng's promise, and he said directly: "Mr. Lin's real estate company owns No. 1 Garden Road in Admiralty, and the previous government sold this land to your company. As the new Governor of Hong Kong, I would like to discuss with Mr. Lin that it would be best to hand over the land to the Bank of China Branch, and I think you can sit down and talk about it and negotiate a plan that is acceptable to everyone! ”

Lin Qiangsheng frowned, his surface was silent, but he was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Youde to be the mediator of the Bank of China branch, what is this for!

Lin Qiangsheng said quietly: "I also hope to reach a plan with the Bank of China Branch that can satisfy both parties!" ”

Youde smiled and nodded and said to Lin Qiangsheng: "We all hope that Hong Kong can prosper and develop steadily!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng suddenly had a bad premonition, I am afraid that Hong Kong Governor Youde did not agree with the decision he made last term on the matter of the plot. In other words, Youde wants to cooperate with the mainland. They all have a common goal, and that is to maintain the basic stability of Hong Kong!

What Lin Johnson did disrupted the stated goals of both sides, and the existence of the Bank of China branch was largely the result of a compromise by the British government. Times have changed, and what Lin Qiangsheng has done is naturally not what the two sides want to see, and it seems that it is impossible to take advantage of the Bank of China branch in the matter of land!

Of course, Lin Qiangsheng is not as outrageous as wanting the Bank of China branch to pay 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and in his opinion, it is still acceptable to slightly higher the original price of 234.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. But now I'm afraid that such conditions are also difficult!

"Sir Youde really wants to cooperate with the mainland government?!" On the way back, Streisand asked in surprise after listening to Lin Qiangsheng's retelling.

The amount of information is too great for Streisand to accept it for a while, what does Sir Youde mean? Could it be that the British government is ready not to protect Hong Kong? If this news leaks out a little bit, I don't know what it will look like! Will there be chaos in Hong Kong immediately, how many family forces are ready to evacuate Hong Kong at any time, and how many ordinary families have begun to prepare for full immigration!

Lin Qiangsheng patted the stunned Streisand, Streisan suddenly came back to her senses, grabbed Lin Qiangsheng's arm and asked anxiously, "Boss, what should we do?" Do you want to prepare to evacuate Hong Kong? The People's Liberation Army is coming, the People's Liberation Army is coming! ”

"Smack!" Lin Qiangsheng patted Streisand's forehead and said, "What are you panicking about?" I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of! ”

"Oh, yes, I'm just a pawn!" Streisand covered her forehead and said aggrievedly. She looked at Lin Qiangsheng and asked, "What about No. 1 Garden Road, Admiralty?" Is it sold to the Bank of China at a low price? ”

Lin Qiangsheng leaned on the saddle and thought about it. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Sell, you can!" ”

Streisand breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that the boss would still insist on the high price, and if she did not get the support of the British government in Hong Kong, she would tremble with fear if she offended the mainland side again.

"How much does that sell? Is the original price of HK$1 billion? Streisand asked.

"Yes, it's 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, but we also have to set a condition! That is, the Bank of China branch building must be built by us! The cost of building a landmark building is definitely more than HK$1 billion, and we don't lose out on it! Lin Qiangsheng said fiercely.

As far as Lin Johnson knows, the BOCHK branch building was built by the Kumagai Group of Japan. This is an international construction contractor, not only in Japan, but also in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Europe and the United States.

Such a landmark building was handed over to the Japanese. And it is in Hong Kong or the headquarters of the Bank of China branch. Lin Qiangsheng felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, there was no need to let the Japanese make this money, he was not as broad-minded as the Bank of China branch!

"Can the Bank of China Branch say yes? Boss, where do you go to find a builder, we don't have such qualifications! Streisand said suspiciously.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "This is too easy to do, buy a construction company in the United States, so that the construction qualification will be there!" ”

Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo were overjoyed when they received the news that Lin Qiangsheng had decided to sell the land at the original price, but at the same time they were surprised by Lin Qiangsheng's request. Hu Zeng asked Song Xiaobo, "Do they have any experience in construction?" Does Johnson & Johnson Lin have a construction unit? It's nonsense! ”

Song Xiaobo said: "Lin Johnson has the qualifications of a construction company in the United States, and it is said that this company has participated in the construction of skyscrapers, and this is a necessary condition set by the other party!" ”

"Let's ask our superiors to decide on this matter, and then ask the other party if there is a construction plan!" Hu Zeng shook his head helplessly, feeling that the big Hong Kong branch had reached the point of being led by the nose!

After a month of investigation preparation. On July 3, the Court of First Instance of the Queensway High Court on Hong Kong Island opened in the largest civil lawsuit in Hong Kong's history, and Barrister Griffith John led his team of lawyers to put more than 50 drivers in the dock one by one.

This huge lawsuit also attracted the attention of all the media in Hong Kong, and the defendants were questioned one by one in court, and Gr. Griffith asked the defendants questions like a victorious white goose, as if victory was just around the corner.

Of course, the drivers are really just ordinary people, so they are doomed, none of them have a lawyer for themselves, and they can only defend themselves in court. It is true that many people put on an attitude that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, but the fact that they go to the scene cannot be cleared, and these drivers will also pay the price for their actions.

But the drivers are not completely desperate, on the contrary, many people point the finger at their boss, Bai Lewen! Many drivers testified that Bai Lewen instigated them to go to Lin Qiangsheng's company to make trouble, and all the economic losses caused to Lin Qiangsheng's company and the mental losses of employees should be compensated by Bai Lewen, it is none of their business, they are just little minions and little ants!

"Gerry, these drivers are dressing themselves up as bitter lords in court, trying to win the sympathy of the jury, how sure do you think we will make them pay the price they deserve?" After the adjournment, Lin asked Griffith.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured, no matter how these people perform in court, they do harass your company and affect your normal operation, and it does make some employees feel sad, these facts are indelible to them! The jury will definitely respect the law and decide the verdict, and I think the only thing you should worry about is that the jury will reduce the compensation to a very small number, after all, you sued more than fifty ordinary people! Griffith spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Very small numbers? Is there a hundred thousand? Lin Qiangsheng asked suspiciously.

"Probably, almost! The jury has to consider what these people can afford, as well as their families! Griffith nodded.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qiangsheng's mouth and said: "That's enough, I believe that this money will definitely make many drivers regret it for a long time!" ”

Now the housing prices in Hong Kong are ridiculously high, a white-collar worker working for 10 years is enough to buy a house, most of the ordinary people are taking out loans to buy houses, and many taxi drivers have loans and are also moonshine people!

After a month of repeated negotiations and requests, the Bank of China Hong Kong Branch finally agreed to Lam Johnson's plan, and 1 Garden Road, Admiralty was sold at a price of HK$1 billion, and Lam Johnson & Johnson's Eastern Star Property was the general contractor to build the headquarters of the Bank of China Branch.

Dongxing C&T will contract the headquarters project of the Bank of China at a total cost of 1.09 billion Hong Kong dollars, of course, such a large project Bank of China Branch also held a symbolic bidding meeting in Hong Kong, in the case of the prior double development has reached an agreement, in the bidding will not produce a lower cost than Dongxing C&T plan, Bank of China Branch has no choice but to hand over the project to Dongxing C&T. Company.

The company acquired an American builder to qualify, and Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo attached conditions to the contract, and the project was expected to take six years and must be completed by December 31, 88. During the project, the Bank of China Branch will invite a well-known engineering supervision company to supervise all the construction work of Dongxing Commodities Company.

Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo began to look for a designer firm to design the headquarters of the Bank of China Branch, Lin Qiangsheng recommended to them the designer of Bei Luming and also won the approval of the two, this old gentleman is a famous Chinese architectural designer, but also the designer of the headquarters of the Bank of China Hong Kong Branch in history, the design work should have been given to him!

Of course, as the contractor, Dongxing Properties Company is even busier, except for the management engineers, the construction personnel can't use Americans, the American construction workers have high wages and all of them are uncles, and Hong Kong workers can't use their wages for overtime, but Lin Johnson has a place to find cheaper construction workers!
