Chapter 420, Uproar!
At the end of August, King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong Island, Ming Pao Headquarters.
Shen Baoxin looked at the sales data in his hand, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
In July, with the launch of Mingyue Books and Periodicals, the entire Hong Kong Island newspaper industry ushered in a new round of challenges.
Sing Tao Daily initiated the alliance meeting, but because of the relationship of interests, it finally broke up.
There are too many companies in the newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island.
If you want to gather strength and resist Mingyue Books together, how easy is it?
What's more, the two newspapers, the New Economic Daily and the Zhongyong Daily, sit firmly in the top two positions.
If you want to cut off the propaganda channels of Mingyue Books, how is it possible?
The shareholders behind many newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily have all been notified by Hong Kong Island in black and white.
Only fair competition is allowed, and there can be no gray, white, or black unfair means.
Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it later.
Because of the existence of both black and white voices on Hong Kong Island, the energy of the people behind the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily is absolutely extraordinary.
After all, once other means are really engaged, newspapers such as Sing Tao Daily will definitely be crushed.
Since it is not possible to use other means and simply rely on the formal means of fair competition, several companies such as Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao and Cheng Pao have also launched their own platforms.
It's just that they don't spend a lot of money, at most 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, or 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Because they are poor, they can't afford to spend more money.
August 1st is the day when Mingyue Books and Periodicals are released.
On that day, almost all the newspaper people in Hong Kong were paying attention, and many writers were also paying attention.
There are many people from overseas who are paying attention to it, because many people from Southeast Asia and East Asia can participate in it.
Some people pay attention to sales, some people pay attention to the selling price, and some people pay attention to the above.
On Hong Kong Island, the price of a book is two Hong Kong dollars, and the price of an ordinary Dragon, Tiger and Leopard magazine is two dollars and five cents.
The price of Mingyue books and periodicals is not cheap, and it costs nine cents and eight cents a piece.
The cost of printing alone will cost six cents and eight cents, and if less than 300,000 copies are sold, the cost will be even higher.
This price was set out of confidence in the book, believing that the quality of the book is absolutely extraordinary.
Of course, this time, not too much profit was given to the merchant, but only three cents of profit.
So the company can still have a penny of gross profit on its side.
It depends on the sales volume, because this part of the money is not all the income, and the advertising part has not been completely determined.
If the sales volume reaches 300,000 copies, then the revenue from the advertising part will be 200,000 Hong Kong dollars per week.
In other words, to maintain a daily sales of 300,000 copies or more, the monthly gross profit of Mingyue Books will be about HK$9.8 million.
But this does not deduct the operating costs such as manuscript fees and editors.
Therefore, the current selling price of a piece of nine cents and eight cents is only the price of trial operation.
It is uncertain whether there will be any adjustments in the future.
With the arrival of August 1, Mingyue Books and Periodicals were successfully sold in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, East Asia and other places.
In today's era, it is still quite difficult to sell a copy in so many countries and regions at the same time.
Of course, in places like East Asia or Southeast Asia, there are only branches on the main streets of some big cities.
Other small places, there will be none.
It's like on the Malay Peninsula, where 37 percent of the country's Chinese are Chinese, and there are more than 2 million Chinese.
There is also the Garden City, where there are more than one million Chinese.
Therefore, Mingyue books and magazines will only open stores in Chinese gathering areas.
In view of the propaganda on the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, the two authors, Fangxin Arsonist and Yi Nian, will publish new books in Mingyue Books.
Many book lovers are staying at the newsstand and other places, wanting to buy Mingyue books and periodicals as soon as possible.
Despite the price of a penny, it is very expensive.
But if you buy one book, you can read twenty books, and you will definitely make a profit.
The bookworms, in particular, are definitely very happy.
Soon, sales came out.
Pan Huiyan, editor-in-chief of Sing Tao Daily, Shen Baoxin of Ming Pao and others soon knew the approximate sales volume.
On the first day alone, Hong Kong Island sold more than 350,000 copies.
The next day, the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily reported on the matter one after another, and all the sales were reported.
For a time, the whole Hong Kong was in an uproar!
Although I had already guessed in my heart that sales would definitely explode, I didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
It's terrible for this sales figure.
Then on the third day, the sales of the Malay Peninsula, Garden City, Tokyo, Hanseong, Medan and other places were all reported.
The most surprising thing is that Garden City, a place that has just been independent for more than a year, has sold 230,000 copies, which is absolutely surprising.
There are not many in the Malay Peninsula, but there are as many as 250,000.
There are also quite a few in Tokyo, there are actually 410,000 copies, I really don't know why a pure Chinese book can be sought after here?
If you want to know the answer, it's actually very simple, just look at the monthly ticket list.
The top two books are actually about the history of the Three Kingdoms.
You know, Tokyo is a place that loves the culture of the Three Kingdoms very much, and it can even be said that it is to the point of madness.
Why is Tokyo so obsessed with the culture of the Three Kingdoms?
Because they believe that the heroes and stories of the Three Kingdoms period are connected to the spirit of bushido.
In addition, with the foundation of the Warring States period in Tokyo, it is easy for Tokyo people to accept the character setting and era setting of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and draw lines for the characters on both sides as early as possible.
Cao Cao's "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes" made the people of Tokyo think of Oda Nobunaga entrenched in Kyoto and used the authority of the emperor to consolidate his power.
Zhuge Liang is superior in resourcefulness, corresponding to their half-soldier guards in Takenaka; and Liu Bei's correspondence with their Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Lu Buzhi to Honda Tadatsu and so on.
Therefore, the people of Tokyo have a strong sense of substitution for the culture of the Three Kingdoms.
In response to this situation, two outlines were directly listed for many years, and Shu Ming and Huang Sicheng arranged for people to create these two books respectively.
As a result, both men have expressed their intention to go into battle in person.
Manuscript fees are secondary, mainly because they want to expand the influence of Mingyue Books overseas.
Besides, according to the outline, these two books can be written up to three million words.
In the future, it may even be adapted into movies, TV series, and the like.
Therefore, Shu Ming and Huang Sicheng couldn't refuse such an opportunity to become famous.
With the existence of two copies, it is normal for Tokyo to create such a high sales figure.
The combined sales of Medan, Hancheng and Penang are only 340,000.
Although there are not many of them, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
After the entire Hong Kong Island citizens saw that Mingyue books and periodicals were so awesome, how could they not be boiling?
Although many people were unable to travel overseas to get the news.
But there are also many ordinary crew members who need to travel back and forth to Garden City, Medan, Penang Island, etc., of course, you can inquire about these news.
As long as you ask a little, you will know the situation of Mingyue Books overseas.
After this sales came out, the newspaper industry on Hong Kong Island collectively lost its voice.
No one knows how to deal with such a terrible opponent.
What kind of evil ways can't be used at all.
Because once it is used, then Mingyue Books will also use such means.
When the time comes, whoever does it will die.
In addition to this, many people's participation in monthly passes is also very high.
As long as you buy a Mingyue book, you can get a monthly pass.
If you want to vote for more monthly passes for your favorite, then there are two ways.
One is to buy another book, and the second is kryptonite.
There are several ways to collect monthly passes, one is to find other people who have already bought books and periodicals but don't want to vote to collect monthly tickets.
The other is to go directly to the headquarters of Mingyue Books and Periodicals to give rewards.
In the case of tipping, different bounties have different monthly pass numbers.
In addition, tipping can also be divided into pure tipping or reminder tipping.
It's just that the minimum amount of reminder reward is 10,000 yuan, and whether the author is willing to add more is entirely voluntary, not mandatory.
The reason why 10,000 yuan can be urged to change is because only 20 books and periodicals can be placed.
Once one of the books has a word count, it will have a big impact on the others.
And the same goes for quality and so on.
That's why it's so considered.
The data on the monthly pass list changes almost every day, which has also become one of the topics that everyone talks about.
The people of Tokyo are very wealthy and often give tips to those two books of the Three Kingdoms in order to improve their monthly pass rankings.
However, the innate advantage is still a little worse, so no matter how you catch up, it is a little worse.
At the top of the list are the Legend of the Mortal Cultivator of Fangxin Arsonist and the Legend of Chu Liuxiang in Year B.
The authors of these two books have a very large fan base.
Since February, Smiling Proud Jianghu, Lu Ding Ji, Ghost Blowing Lantern, Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword, etc. have been serialized.
By this time in August, the serialization of 1.23 million words of Xiaoao Jianghu had ended.
The story of Deer and Ding was also serialized to the end.
So the fan base of the two books is indeed invincible.
Fans are relatively simple, and it is the first time they have encountered an author with such a large number of updates, so they strongly support it.
Therefore, in contrast to the fact that only Tokyoites prefer to worship the Three Kingdoms, Yi Nian and Fang Shin Arsonist have fans on Hong Kong Island, Ho Island, Penang Island, Medan, Hancheng and other places.
The number of this fan base is very large.
For every HK$10,000 that Tokyoites give, that's just 100 more monthly passes.
Even if the Three Kingdoms were rewarded with 1 million, it would only be 10,000 more monthly passes.
On Hong Kong Island alone, 350,000 were sold, of which about 250,000 monthly tickets were voted for the two books of Mortal Immortal Cultivation and Chu Liuxiang.
Although the author of Yi Nian is either imitating Jin Dada's writing style, or imitating Gu Long's writing style.
There is no literati at all.
But the fan base is really big, because the updates are stable and the quality is first-class, and readers are addicted to it.
Therefore, on the list of monthly passes, the champions and runners-up were all occupied by Year B and Fangxin arsonists.
Since its inception on August 1, Mingyue Books has created one miracle after another.
It's the end of August now, and no one can resist Mingyue Books anymore.
Books and periodicals founded by many newspapers, such as Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily, can make a living, but basically they are of little use.
For example, Ming Pao's books and periodicals also have a monthly ticket list, but they can only serialize twelve copies, and the first place is Jin Dada's Tianlong Babu.
Tianlong Babu has been serialized to the middle and late stages, but it is not serialized in Ming Pao, but transferred to books and periodicals.
There was a lot of support, but it didn't do much.
On the monthly ticket list, Tianlong Babu is unbeatable, with more than 200,000 monthly passes, beating other authors behind the list.
On the contrary, the monthly ticket list on Mingyue Books and Periodicals is too golden.
The fifth place is the Three Kingdoms written by Shu Ming, with 6.3 million monthly passes, even if it is the last monthly pass on the list, it is more than the monthly pass of Tianlong Babu.
There's no way.
Because Mingyue Books has a huge overseas fan base, those huge sales are proof of this.
For example, in this book of Three Kingdoms written by Shu Ming, most of the monthly tickets are voted from Tokyo.
Half of Tokyo's monthly passes are sold to this book, so there are more than 200,000 monthly passes every day, plus monthly passes for rewards.
Therefore, at the end of the month, there are more than 6 million monthly passes, which is not unusual at all.
From the list of monthly passes, it can also be calculated how many copies of Mingyue Books and Periodicals will be sold in August.
It can only be said that it is really too strong!
It is no wonder that Shen Baoxin and the others are pale, and they have no intention of resisting.
No. 72 Deep Water Bay on Hong Kong Island, under the morning sun, many years are leading a few children to box.
Xu Xiahao, who was already four years old, also practiced boxing together, and as for Xu Paner, who was more than two years old, he could only stand next to him and imitate with a hum.
But don't say it, Xu Paner's movements are not standard, but they are too cute and look a little funny.
Xiaomei and Xiaoqian also boxed and vowed to exercise.
Because during the trip to the bald eagle, the two of them found the problem of physical exhaustion.
Obviously, they are adults, but in terms of physical strength, they were beaten by Xiaodoubao.
Whether it's sightseeing on the East Coast, or hunting wild ducks and geese in the wilderness, they can easily run out of energy.
Therefore, after returning to Hong Kong Island, they also learned to behave.
Exercising with them every morning, they also want to have a strong body.
It's just that now looking at Xu Pan'er next to her, Xiaomei and Xiaoqian, they almost can't hold back.
"Ah Nian, you took your child to the beach to practice boxing again?"
At this time, Gu Jinghui, who was not far away with his dog and came to the beach for a walk, said with a smile.
Gu Jinghui lives at No. 60 Deep Water Bay, which is very close to No. 72.
Every once in a while, Gu Jinghui came to the nearby beach for a walk.
Today, her two daughters, Gu Jialing and Gu Jiahui, also came over.
Taking advantage of the gap between their mother's greetings for many years, the two of them have already stood next to Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi, and followed up with a good learning.
"Hmm."
For many years, he just smiled faintly and nodded, and did not talk much to each other, but continued to box.
It is best to practice boxing consistently, and do not rest for too long.
Besides, he doesn't need to rest, after all, he has good physical strength.
It's just that Gu Jinghui was a little speechless because she was not enthusiastic for many years: Is the old lady not beautiful enough?
But she immediately thought of Qin Huairu, and suddenly a trace of jealousy inevitably rose in her heart.
In addition to Qin Huairu's good appearance and good figure, Qin Huairu's relationship with her man is also very strong and stable.
Although she doesn't get along with Qin Huairu's family very much, she also learned from her two daughters that Xiaodoubao and their parents often praise them.
The two rarely quarrel, such a model couple, is extremely rare.
Some time ago, for more than a month, many years the family went out to travel, and came back with a lot of souvenirs and other things.
Gu Jinghui also saw those photos, especially the group photo of the two of them for many years, and the appearance of affection was almost overflowing with the photos.
Thinking about her dead husband, she couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart.
It's a pity, how easy is it to meet a good man again?
At the end of the morning exercise, many years of Gu Jinghui smiled and nodded, and then went home first.
Villa 72 is just across the road from the beach.
After crossing Xiangdao Road, I returned home many years ago.
In the courtyard, Qin Huairu's eyes looked at the beach from time to time, and it wasn't until she saw that she had come back many years before she smiled.
Her man didn't talk much about Gu Jinghui, which was a good thing.
Although there are still children next to him, even if he chats with Gu Jinghui a few more words, it is nothing.
But for many years, he didn't, which shows that he has strong self-control.
Qin Huairu is not worried about what story she will have with Gu Jinghui for many years, after all, she has not traveled much outside every day for many years.
"It's almost breakfast, why don't you call the children to come back together?"
Taking the towel from her hand, he grinned for many years, "They are all chatting, where can they take care of me?" ”
Little brat, it's hard to have a companion, of course you have to have a good chat.
No, to be precise, to show off.
Clothes do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes at night.
They have been playing bald eagles for more than a month, so they must find friends to show off.
Not to mention one morning, even if it is three days and three nights, it is endless.
What's more, starting today, Xiaodoubao and their families have returned to their normal regular work and rest and study state, and the matter of showing off with their friends is naturally a race against time.
Had breakfast and went out for many years.
School hasn't started yet, so there's no need to send children to school.
China Resources didn't call him, so he didn't have to go to Europe.
Hongfa Building, Rolls-Royce Corporate Office.
Many years later, the person in charge, Alexander, was called in and asked the latter to report on his work.
After two months of running-in, all employees who relocated to Rolls-Royce on Hong Kong Island have smoothly integrated into the life and work here.
Actually, for most employees.
The environment on Hong Kong Island is better, at least you can see the sun.
There are many beaches nearby, and they will go to the nearby beaches to bask in the sun on weekends.
Europeans love to bask in the sun and need a healthy complexion, which has almost become their obsession.
If you have not seen the kind of pure white Europeans who have never been in the sun, it is absolutely impossible to understand that these Europeans like to bask in the sun so much.
Because Europeans who have never been exposed to the sun are as sick as people who have leukemia.
And in daily life, if you touch it a little, it will quickly shatter, just like porcelain.
Only Europeans who have been exposed to the sun and look a little wheat complexion, this is a healthy complexion.
In that part of London, there are clouds and fog all year round, and rainy weather is the majority.
Therefore, not to mention wanting to bask in the sun, it is very good to be able to live a normal life.
In addition to the improvement of the climate conditions, other living conditions have also improved a lot.
If there are no major problems in the placement of employees, it means that it is half.
"How's the progress of technology research and development?"
After listening, many years ago asked him the questions that he was most concerned about.
If there is pay, there must be output.
Otherwise, wouldn't his money be wasted?
Now two months have passed, and in one month, it will be March.
According to the previous rules, it was an eight-month period, and for each month in advance, an additional £1 million was awarded.
If the R&D work is completed within three months, then the direct reward is 10 million pounds.
Despite the fact that he had spent so much money rewarding these people for many years, he was not sure if these people could really sacrifice their lives to fight for them.
Alexander was a little stressed at this time, but he still stubbornly reported the progress of research and development.
What to say, the previous month was basically still in the run-in stage, and there was no progress.
Since August, progress has been made, but not particularly fast.
"Lack of people or lack of funds?"
After hearing the words for many years, he couldn't help frowning.
He didn't have to rush the other party, but he wanted to come up with some results as soon as possible and make Rolls-Royce an aviation giant as soon as possible.
It's a long road, but what if it happens?
"BOSS, in fact, there is no shortage, but the current research and development progress is slow, mainly the development of new materials."
Hearing Alexander's explanation, he said angrily for many years:
"Isn't this just a lack of people? What am I giving you money for? It's used to poach people and dig patents, why are you guarding that money? ”
"Do you know what it means to make money?"
"The progress of project research and development is slow, just find me the reason, since it is a new material problem, is it that there are too few R&D personnel, is it not that the talent of R&D personnel is not strong enough?"
"Don't let people occupy the pit and not, it's disgusting people know? Hurry up and get out of here, hurry up and find someone to find materials and patents, I want to see the three-rotor engine as soon as possible, clearly understand? ”
"Clearly, BOSS, I'll go."
Alexander, who had been trained to be bloody, hurried to run in a panic.
Staying in the boss's office for an extra second is a torment.
It seems that his pattern is too small, but I didn't expect the boss to be so willing to spend money, it's not easy.
Leaving from Hongfa Building, I went to Zhongyong Daily for many years to sit for a while.
He is very satisfied with the results of Mingyue Books.
At present, it is enough to manage this one-third of an acre of land, and we will not continue to attack this year.
Time flies, and September has arrived.
Little bean bags and they went to school, well, six children, all went to school.
Jing Ge'er and Hot Wheels are already four years old, and now let them go to kindergarten.
The kindergartens on Hong Kong Island will still teach some enlightenment education to some extent.
For the naughty and mischievous two children, Brother Jing and Hot Wheels, it is just right for them to get used to it in advance.
In case they were in the first grade, their grades were too far behind their older siblings.
After all, Hong Kong Island is a bilingual education, and the difference between it and the capital is quite big.
The kids are all in school, and the house is much more deserted.
However, I didn't go out for many years, and basically stayed at home to write.
Qin Huairu, who had nothing to do, became a gardener and planted flowers and plants in the yard.
This morning, I was sleepy after many years of writing and writing, and came out to rest.
Seeing Qin Huairu in the courtyard, chatting with Li Jinlian and the others, and Zhang Mingde, who was fiddling with medicinal herbs next to him, suddenly remembered something.
It's also time for him to buy a hospital so that his master has something to do.
Otherwise, if he continues like this, his master will probably be depressed.
Another week passed, many years after the acquisition of a hospital in Central, and when he came back in the evening, he said to his master:
"Master, I have invested in a private hospital today, which is in Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong in Central, can you take a look at it when you are free?"
The latter gave him a blank look and said:
"You still have money to take a stake in the hospital?"
"Master, look at what you said, don't you know that I've been writing lately?"
Many years happily said:
"I always use a typewriter, and I write very quickly, and I can write thousands of words in an hour."
"You also know, I have two pen names, and the two pen names created by them have become popular and made a lot of money."
Indeed, whether it is Fangxin arsonist or Year B, the two vests created here are very awesome.
Especially in this book of mortal cultivation immortals, with the increase in the number of words, the current protagonist has entered the Yellow Maple Valley to cultivate.
This plot, for readers who have never been in contact with Xianxia, is definitely a very fantastical and surprising experience.
Edgeworth Flying, Puppetry, Secret Realm, etc., what kind of fairy brain holes are these?
Thirty years ago, the legend of the Shushan Swordsman, which was created by the master of the Pearl Building, was regarded as the originator of Chinese Xianxia.
But on Hong Kong Island in the 60s, not many people had read this book.
Mainly since the fifties, readers on Hong Kong Island have read more martial arts by Jin Dada, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng and others.
And the brains, combat power, etc., of mortal immortal cultivators, all beat a lot of martial arts.
The plot is not slow, and even many people think it is too fast.
In addition to the legend of mortal cultivation of immortals, there are also the legend of Chu Liuxiang, the ghost blowing the lamp, etc., almost every one, its brain hole plot is a super-first-class existence.
In addition to the serialized in the New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, the two books serialized in Mingyue Books and Periodicals, Mortal and Chu Liuxiang, are at the top of the monthly ticket list.
is so popular, just the manuscript fee makes a lot of money.
It is precisely because he has needed to write so much every day for many years that Sun Guohua of China Resources Company can't bear to call him to go on a business trip to Europe.
After all, the money I have made in the last six months for many years is really amazing.
Zhang Mingde nodded and said:
"Okay, then you can arrange it, and I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to have a look."
"Okay master, in fact, I have already arranged it, and I will take you over tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mingde was stunned for a moment, then nodded at him, shook his head with a smile.
In fact, deep down, Zhang Mingde is very emotional.
For many years of this cheap apprentice, he is very satisfied and assured.
Although in the last six months and many years, some have not done their jobs.
But it is also so that everyone can put down roots on Hong Kong Island with peace of mind.
Although before, Zhang Mingde didn't understand very much why he moved to the capital.
But it wasn't until she saw the newspaper report on the mainland that she knew what the situation was.
With so many things happening in the mainland, just thinking about it makes me a little scared.
"Dad, can we visit the hospital tomorrow?"
Seeing that her father and grandfather were no longer chatting, Xiaodoubao asked in a coventile manner.
As soon as she spoke, her younger siblings all echoed her, saying that they also wanted to visit.
"You're really going to join in the fun, is there anything to go to the hospital? Stay at home and do your homework, and don't go anywhere. ”
After many years of direct refusal, the little kids were suddenly unhappy.
It's finally the weekend, why can't you go out?
And it's not a big deal to visit the hospital, so why not let them go?
But no matter what they say, if they can't go, they can't go.
The next day, many years drove his master to Gleneagles Hospital.
Not surprisingly, his master successfully became a member of the hospital, and he was also one of the most powerful directors.
How to say, Zhang Mingde, the president, is not responsible for the daily management of the hospital.
He is only responsible for the condition of incurable diseases, so he is not a very busy job.
After successfully sending his master to Gleneagles Hospital, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after many years.
It's just that it's still a little bit worse.
After all, when his master was in the capital, it was a state of retirement.
But Hong Kong Island is so small, how can he choose a place for his master to retire and live alone?
The New Territories is very large, and there are many deserted places, but the traffic over there is not very convenient.
Forget it, let's ask Governor David for a piece of land.
The Governor's Mansion on Garden Road, David looked at the many years that suddenly appeared, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Devil, how did you get here?"
David had been terrified for a month since July, and August had passed, and he thought it wouldn't be there for many years.
Unexpectedly, it suddenly appeared now, and I almost didn't send him away.
"Do I need to report my trip to you?"
After grinning for many years, David suddenly became even more frightened.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you, how much wasteland is there in the New Territories? Preferably the kind that is connected together. ”
"I don't know."
"Aren't you the Governor? You don't know any of these things? Then you, the Emperor of the Earth, are too derelict in your duties? ”
After being ridiculed for many years, David's face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute.
Because he was afraid that if he accidentally said the wrong thing, he would be hit hard by many years.
"What's the use of these wastelands? Can I arrange for someone below to help you? ”
"Forget it, I know that you are a waste of firewood, you can't achieve anything, just manage Hong Kong Island like this, it's strange that Hong Kong Island can be good."
Shaking his head, for many years, even if he asked the other party to take out the approval of the government, he could fill in the barren mountains on the other side of the New Territories by himself.
The entire area of Hong Kong Island is 1,113 square kilometres, of which 975 square kilometres are in the New Territories.
Except for Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan, which are land reclamation, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Tai Po, North District and other places are all wilderness and have not yet been developed.
For many years, a large piece of land between Tuen Mun and Yuen Long was directly asked for and directly designated as a forbidden area.
"You tell the villagers in this area to move out to Sai Kung, Tsuen Wan or Sha Tin, where no more villages are allowed, and there are no more boats in the vicinity, and they can't go near that side."
David looked at the map and was stunned.
The place that has been waved by many years has at least an area of tens or hundreds of square kilometers, right?
Such a large area, although it is just a wilderness, there is no oil and water, but it is too big, right?
Just when David's face was embarrassed, many years of a look at him, which suddenly made him excited.
The person in front of him is the devil, bargaining with the devil, isn't this looking for death?
As a result, there is no doubt that such a large area, a location of nearly a hundred square kilometers, has directly become a forbidden area.
However, after getting the approval, I didn't rush to leave for many years.
Instead, he is going to teach the emperor how to run the city of Hong Kong Island well.
First of all, it is not possible to use only Cantonese textbooks in Hong Kong, Cantonese is only an elective course, and Putonghua and English are equally important.
I can't help it, I've wanted to kick out English all at once for many years, but I can't.
Not to mention that he also needs to use giants such as Rolls-Royce to make a lot of money in the international community.
And if the action is too big and affects the situation, it is easy to have an accident.
Then there is the nine-year compulsory education policy, which must be had.
You can't let the governor in the back do this nine-year compulsory education again, right? Then it will be too late.
Hong Kong Island's economy is booming, and more talents are needed, and in addition to attracting external talents to Hong Kong Island, it is also necessary to cultivate more talents ourselves.
Therefore, the government must allocate more money to do a good job in education, especially in the area of universities, and it needs strong support.
Then there is the policy of attracting external talents to Hong Kong, such as those who have obtained an ACCA certificate and graduates of Ivy League schools, as long as they are willing to settle in Hong Kong, they will directly send a house and money.
The minimum value is HK$50,000, and there is no upper limit.
For example, a Ph.D. student with a Master of Science degree from Princeton was hired as an engineer at Rolls-Royce's R&D center.
In addition to the benefits he can get from Rolls-Royce, the Hong Kong Island government will reward him with 50,000 yuan in cash or a house and a car of equivalent value.
In other words, as long as this person is willing to come to Hong Kong Island for development, then he only needs to settle down and ensure that he has lived on Hong Kong Island for more than five years, and he can directly get 50,000 yuan or the equivalent of a house and car.
With such a lucrative talent reward program, those talents outside Hong Kong Island will definitely come to Hong Kong Island with moths to the fire.
However, with so much money, can the Hong Kong Island government come up with it?
David was a little worried, but for many years he smiled:
"Those subordinates of yours, all of them are very rich, and those associations, which one has no money?"
"You only need to borrow an excuse to kill a few chickens and monkeys, and then you will have money?"
Hearing this, David was dumbfounded.
How much money can his subordinates have?
Seeing that David didn't believe it, he asked the other party to try it first for many years, and there was definitely an unexpected gain.
"However, you have to be quick and ruthless, otherwise, if your wealth is transferred, then you will be busy in vain."
After a pause, many years later, he began to talk about other plans.
Plans such as the MTR project and the cross-harbour tunnel project have also been put on the table for many years.
Seeing these plans, David was so anxious that his mind smoked.
Hurriedly said that the Governor's Mansion didn't have that much money at all, how could it afford these plans?
"Are you stupid? Of course, it is impossible to completely build such a large project by relying on the Governor's Palace, but it can be done through bidding."
For many years, he glared at each other.
I really don't know how this guy David got to the position of governor, it's just stupid.
How can people be so stupid?
If you want to get rich and build roads first, this is the truth of the ancestor religion, oh no, David's ancestor didn't know this sentence.
But it doesn't matter, economic development definitely needs to improve good transportation.
With the MTR and the tunnel, communication between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon is much easier.
In the future, Hong Kong Island will be able to develop its tourism economy and vigorously promote the development of the entire Hong Kong Island's economy, such as science and technology, finance and culture.
The MTR tenders and then treats the operation as an investment, but the pricing power must be firmly in the hands of the Governor's Office.
"Why?"
Faced with David's stupid question, I didn't want to answer it for many years.
And why?
As a public transportation hub, once the MTR is opened, the price must not be too expensive.
If it's too expensive and no one rides, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Therefore, the pricing must be within a reasonable range, not beyond a certain scope.
Forget it, David is so stupid, it would be good to be a puppet.
"Don't you have a think tank? Let them explain it to you, don't think about it so much. ”
For many years, he said with disgust:
"Just your IQ, don't waste brain cells, these plans are launched quickly, the economy of Hong Kong Island is to develop, as the leader of the Governor's Palace, you must do your duty as a leader."
After leaving the Governor's Palace, he shook his head and laughed for many years.
Are you stunned?
I'm worried about these things.
Forget it, after all, he still has to live here on Hong Kong Island for a long time.
Having a quiet and peaceful environment is not the life he has always wanted to pursue?
The open space in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long was soon fenced off.
The villagers evacuated one after another, and although there were old stubborns who did not want to leave, no one dared to stay under the strict orders of the governor's palace.
The police force is the number one violent agency under the Governor's Office, and even the community on Hong Kong Island does not dare to show its teeth, let alone ordinary people.
What's more, there weren't many villagers, so naturally they moved out quickly.
After the place was emptied, he ran straight here for many years, using the stones of the wasteland itself, and then began to build a wall with the help of space.
The five-meter-high walls and the transplanted trees act as barriers to isolate the area.
After the quarantine, many years began to clean up the environment within the region.
There is definitely no way to directly reproduce the environment on the side of Taihang Mountain, so many areas have been directly divided into these places for many years.
For example, some precious trees will be planted in traditional Chinese medicine planting areas, alpine grassland areas, lavender parks, etc., as well as on both sides of the roads in various regions.
For example, red sandalwood, golden silk nanmu, etc., of course, lychee, longan, mango, durian and other fruit trees are also indispensable. (End of chapter)
