Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 293 Chapter 293: What we do is a pioneer thing!
"Clang clang clang."

"Clang clang clang!"

The bicycle shuttles through the cramped squatter houses of Shijiazao Daidai. There is a copper cymbal hanging on the front of the bicycle. When the hammer falls, there is a clear and clear sound of metal and stone.

Guaranteed to be heard within a hundred meters radius.

"Young and old men, ladies and gentlemen."

The young man shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Shangli Uk Village built by Mr. Gao is now open for applications."

"Elderly people over 55 years old are given priority."

"Families of four or more are given priority."

"There are 372 households in total, with water supply, electricity supply in the back, and shelter from wind and rain."

The young man shouted: "First come, first served."

"Those who want to apply should go to Sheung Lee Uk Estate and look for the signboard of the Civilian Housing Association."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read. Someone will do it for you."

"Hey, don't ask me anything else."

The young man was very clever. When he saw that a few maids were about to stop the car, he cleverly turned the car around and looked for another way.

"It's okay if you go late."

"Mr. Gao is waiting there."

There is only one Mr. Gao on Hong Kong Island. Especially after Mr. Gao took over the Kowloon Walled City, everyone in Kowloon knew that Mr. Gao was the tyrant of Kowloon.

In particular, this bully built bridges and paved roads and was charitable.

He is truly a living Bodhisattva descended from heaven.

Hearing what Hou Shengzi said, the whole Shijiaowei was in a state of shock, and a group of people jumped up and started talking.

"I went to see the first one, and the houses were built so fast."

"You're so beautiful."

Squatters are built haphazardly, and the materials are mainly garbage and wooden boards.

No matter how simple the design of Sheung Lee Uk Estate is, it is made of reinforced concrete and is 6 stories high. It looks quite majestic.

"Yes, yes, I heard that there will be an elementary school on the roof of the building later."

"The baby will have a place to go to school."

"That must be expensive, right?"

"Chixian, Mr. Gao is not such a person."

Although they have never met, these people have great confidence in Gao Yao.

"It's just...it's hard to apply..."

"Crazy line."

Someone shouted: "You have to apply for it before you know."

These words reminded everyone that as long as they could spare the time, they would rush to Shang Lei Uk Village urgently.

That place is not far from Shijiaowei, and everyone is familiar with it.

They rushed slowly but were still a little late.

Good guy, there was a long queue outside the application office at Sham Shui Po Estate. Thanks to the Sham Shui Po miscellaneous bureau, the Guangdong Gang, and Luen Sing teamed up to maintain order.

Otherwise, you will definitely suffer disaster.

"Oh, Mr. Gao, you still have foresight."

The speaker was Ge Mulian, who is also the director of the Ren'ai Tang Charity Foundation.

If you're doing charity, of course you have to invite the governor's wife to come along and do charity.

The project at Sheung Lei Uk Estate has been inspected before and it was confirmed that there was no problem with the quality and there would be no further delays.

After discussing the decision, everyone in the Civilian Housing Association was ready to open the registration first.

Since today is the first day of open registration, it is very symbolic, so basically all the directors who can be there are present.

This naturally includes Gao Yao.

"Your Mightiness."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "I haven't thanked you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come here."

Naturally, these directors will not participate in the registration, and they will just go through the motions.

"This is my duty."

Ge Mulian looked at the endless queue outside and couldn't help but said: "It seems that the demand for public housing is very huge."

A city that had more than 70% destroyed in the war, and then millions of people flooded in, would have a huge demand for anything.

"Yes."

Gao Yao said: "There is a house to live in, a source to eat, and a place to enjoy."

“In this way, citizens will be willing to stay and develop with peace of mind.”

The biggest problem on Hong Kong Island is that there is no sense of belonging. This has been the case for nearly a hundred years.

This is of course because the Hong Kong government has not done enough, so most people only regard this place as a transit port.

If it weren't for the big liquidation over there later, Hong Kong Island would still be like this.

Ge Mulian was thoughtful.

Mrs. Jane interrupted in time: "MR. Gao, because of you, I think everyone from the surrounding area has come."

"But we can only provide 372 households."

"This means that the vast majority of people will not be able to achieve what they want."

She worried: "Would it cause any noise?"

With the awakening of nationalism, the current group of residents coming to Hong Kong Island are not easy to deal with. They are very willing to go on strike in order to improve their wages.

It's just that it's basically impossible to do so.

"will not."

Gao Yao smiled and said: "We are not just doing one issue."

"Oh."

Ge Mulian exclaimed: "A super large community of 5 people?"

She always thought that Mrs. Jian was just talking to her. After all, such a huge community was not easy to build.

The supporting departments and facilities behind it are quite huge.

"Yes."

Gao Yao said: "There are at least 10 people living in squatters on Hong Kong Island now."

"The hidden dangers are huge."

"Your Mightiness."

Gao Yao repeatedly emphasized: "This time is different from before. They will stay on Hong Kong Island."

"I won't go back or go to Nanyang again."

In both places, the king's flag was changed on the city wall. They were concerned about protecting themselves at the first opportunity, so most people could only stay on Hong Kong Island first.

As time goes by, you will naturally settle down and start a career, and you won’t be able to leave.

Ge Mulian was a little surprised. This was a little different from what her governor-general said.

The current argument is that Hong Kong Island is just a transit point, and all current problems caused by the population explosion will be solved with the passage of time.

As a result, this high MR means that there will be more and more people on Hong Kong Island in the future?
Surprising!
"Hahaha."

Zhou Xinian came out at the right time to interject: "Sir, President Gao's words are actually quite reasonable."

"The war in the mainland is currently going on, and I don't know how long it will take before it ends. No one will go back unless a gentleman puts up a dangerous wall."

He said: “Because I can’t produce with peace of mind even when I go back, and it doesn’t even cover the expenses.”

Zhou Xinian sighed: "Now not only the local government affairs are in a mess, but the economy is also messed up."

"I have received news that Dean Song's policy of exchanging fiat currency for gold has completely failed."

The policy was launched in March last year. Its main purpose was to curb inflation and try to curb currency depreciation by selling off gold stocks to buy back fiat currency.

Who knew that as soon as this policy came out, a large number of wealthy people began to desperately hoard gold, causing the legal currency to continue to plummet.

There is no way, the policy is a good policy, but everyone no longer believes in the party-state, let alone the integrity of the people who handle votes under the party flag.

They believe in gold more.

It is also because of this that since last year, the gold trade between Hong Kong Island and Haojiang has begun to flourish.

What Gao Yao knew even more was that he was frantic in trying to defeat the Democratic Party.

In order to recover the gold, silver and foreign exchange reserves scattered among the people and save the financial economy that is on the verge of collapse, Chang Kaishen will soon sign a presidential decree to issue a "Financial and Economic Emergency Discipline Order", issue gold yuan bonds to replace legal tender, and redeem them within a time limit. The gold, silver and foreign currencies in hand are subject to a "price limit" policy;
Yu Hongjun, the president of the Central Bank, was appointed as the economic supervisor of the Shanghai Bund Economic Control Zone. The prince assisted in the supervision and actually took the main responsibility.

The consequences of legal currency are terrifying enough, but they pale into insignificance when compared with gold yuan coupons.

Then I will cry all the time.

Gao Yao nodded and said casually: "Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. The Democratic Party has lost the hearts of the people. I think..."

Gao Yao felt something was wrong, so he promptly changed his tune: "I personally think that the Hong Kong government still needs to be prepared to receive a population of several million."

Yes, as of now, the Hong Kong government still has no preparations for this.

That's why there are cases where official land is arbitrarily set aside to allow refugees to build squatters on their own.

Necessary public services such as water are also not provided.

As for health and education, there is no need to mention them.

The lives of Hong Kong people in the current era are just a little better than those of the poor during the war.

Mrs. Jian said: "MR. Gao Zhen is far-sighted. We will mention this matter to you."

On the other hand, Zhou Xinian, who was beside him, looked at Gao Yao unconsciously, what's the matter?Chairman Gao is not optimistic about defeating the Democratic Party?
No way…

The party-state has millions of soldiers under its command, advisers are like rain and fierce generals are like clouds, and it is backed by powerful countries. Why can't it work?

Or alarmist?

Zhou Xinian couldn't help but think wildly, because given someone's current status, he would definitely not say anything casually. He dared to say so because he had some prejudgment.

How did he know that Gao's judgment came from future generations?That's a sure thing.

Originally, this registration was planned to be long-term and continuous. However, the enthusiasm of the neighbors was so high that the one window opened was no longer enough.

Gao Yao, Zhou Xinian, Jian Jianqiang, Liu Meiren, A Xia, Bai Yuechang and other people who could write had to leave and start registration.

There are the fewest people on Gaoyao's side.

Neighbors clearly understood: "Mr. Gao has worked hard for everyone, so we should not let Mr. Gao get tired anymore."

"Ladies are immortals who came out of paintings, why are you so tired?" Zhou Xinian and Jian Qiang were miserable. Everyone turned to them and asked random questions from time to time, which made the two of them miserable.

Zhou Xinian has everyone in mind, President Gao’s method of winning over people’s hearts is really damn...

From the time the construction of Shangli Uk Village started until it was almost completed, weren't Jian Jianqiang and himself the ones who stayed here all the time?

Why do the neighbors remember President Gao so well?

Thinking about it makes me feel a little bit intrusive.

Although it is said that more people are powerful, it took a long time to finally receive as many applications as one person.

The only thing left is to prioritize the groups to stay based on the information.

"Families with elderly people and young children will be given priority."

People's hearts are complicated, and Gao Yao is unable to judge and has no energy to carefully investigate the applicant's specific situation.

All the housing association can do is make a choice based on what is in the information.

Of course it must be based on the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Everyone has no opinion on this.

After all, most of the funds for the first phase were provided by someone named Gao, and someone else proposed the plan. He just came out to invite people.

Gao Yao handed over his hand and said, "I'll leave it to you all later."

He really is a hands-off shopkeeper.

I say please, but in fact, the main requests are Zhou Xinian and Jian Qiang, because these two guys are the actual handlers of the housing association.

Jian Jianqiang single-handedly handles public housing-related agreements.

As for Zhou Xinian, it was because he and Rutton Chi were also planning to build public housing. At that time, they wanted to build bungalows, but later they were reminded by high officials that they planned to build multi-storey houses.

Since we are building multi-storey buildings, we might as well use Lei Uk Estate as a model to see the actual situation here first, and then try to make improvements if there are any.

Ruttonji was too old to run, so Zhou Xinian often came over and became Jianqiang's partner.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhou Xinian is used to it.

Ever since the Chaozhou Gang brought out this high-ranking figure, the Dongguan Gang has been unable to get any benefits.

But after this cooperation, eh, the interests of the Dongguan Gang increased a lot, including Zhou.

So he was quite happy.

Not to mention Jian Qiang, he is an elite who received Western education and is very aware of Western values.

Not only must one have a social reputation, but one must also be able to empathize with the ruling class.

The establishment of public housing is unprecedented in Hong Kong Island, and it is often reported in the newspapers. As a manager, you can naturally gain fame.

Although a large part of it was inadvertently taken away by Brother Yao...

Mrs. Jane smiled at the women and said, "It seems we are going to hold a few more salon fundraisers."

The first phase is a model. After a period of operational observation, subsequent public housing units will be launched in a timely manner.

On the one hand, the construction funds for these houses come from Ren'ai Church itself, and on the other hand, of course, they come from the society.

Charity is meant to mobilize prominent people in society to participate.

If it weren't for this, why would the governor's wife Ge Mulian be invited to be a director later?

It’s a sign!
After all the directors left, Gao Yao strode towards Zhao Quan and others who were maintaining order.

"Hard."

Gao Yao shook hands one by one and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work today, brothers."

I don't know since when, people in the world are no longer qualified to interview Gao Yao.

Seeing Mr. Gao being so courteous to the corporal now makes Zhao Quan and others feel flattered.

"High student."

"This is what we should do."

Gao Yao gave [-] Hong Kong dollars to each of the leaders: "Brothers, you can't come in vain."

"Take it to bring the brothers to drink tea."

Gao's rule is that you can't take away what he gives you.

A group of people did not dare to refuse, so they nodded and accepted: "Thank you, Mr. Gao."

"You have to come home and drink tea at your leisure."

After Gao Yao encouraged him for a few words, he left with Gao Jin.

As for his wives?He had already left with Ge Mulian and the others.

"sure."

Zhao Quan and others straightened up after the car left. They looked at each other and unknowingly broke into a cold sweat.

"Oh."

Huo Baoming actually met Gao Yao for the first time officially. He let out a long breath: "To tell you the truth, I'm wet all over."

Zhao Quan is a detective in Sham Shui Po and is in charge of both the black and white departments.

Guolong is the leader in Heliansheng.

Of course, Huobaoming has the smallest status among the three, but he said this on purpose.

Zhao Quan smiled and said: "The power of the high school students is getting stronger day by day. Before, I was almost out of breath."

Guolong said: "Brother Quan, you are still the dick, I am holding my breath."

The three suddenly laughed.

Guolong followed: "Brother Quan, we have an appointment with Brother Chao, let's go first."

Huobao Ming also handed over his hand: "Brother Quan, go first."

Zhao Quan vaguely heard some rumors and knew that the Chaozhou Gang and He Zitou seemed to be cooperating with Brother Jin to plant flags in Haojiang.

He nodded immediately: "Okay."

……

At the same time, Gao Yao took Gao Jin to Sham Shui Po.

Public housing is non-profit, while tenement buildings are used to make money. Since he came to Sham Shui Po, Gao Yao naturally wanted to come and take a look.

Siyan Li was in charge of the reception. When the Tang Tower was under construction, all he could do was prepare and publicize it.

But now that the tenement building is almost completed, the sales department has greater rights and responsibilities than anything else.

"boss."

Xiao Li said calmly: "The sales are very hot and all the reservations have been made."

"We only have to wait until the completion of the project to formally sign the contract."

There are many reasons why the house sells so well. On the one hand, it is because of the huge population increase in Kowloon after the war, and on the other hand, it is because of Gaoyao's reputation.

Many people come here because of Gao Yao's reputation.

For example, many customers in this issue come from Jianghu...

It was smoother than expected. Gao Yao nodded: "Everyone has a house, and houses are still the primary productive force."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, and he also discovered this.

The customers who came here were obviously more enthusiastic about the house than others.

At the same time, he believes that the current market demand has not been truly stimulated.

Nowadays, the people who come here to buy are all rich people, and there are still a few real citizens.

"boss."

Xiao Li then said: "There are very few people who can get a mortgage now."

Gao Yao grasped the key point and asked directly: "The conditions of the Kowloon Mortgage Company are harsh?"

"Yes."

Xiao Li said: "If you meet the conditions, you don't need it. If you don't meet the conditions, Kowloon Mortgage is not willing to lend it, and the interest rate is too high."

Mortgage companies are engaged in second-hand business. They are tantamount to compradors of the bank and are responsible for every mortgage.

The risk is high, and the interest is of course high.

Therefore, it is said that the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

Even if Zhou Xinian decides to cooperate with Gao Yao, the specific handlers still have to follow the rules.

Gao Yao should think about it for a moment. How other people's companies are run is their business and he can't change it.

But you can change yourself.

He said, "What did Mr. Li say?"

Of course, Mr. Li is Li Guowei. Even though this guy is young, Gaosheng Bank has been very prosperous recently due to him.

According to Li Guowei, he believes that the future of Hong Kong Island lies in industry, so he has already begun to invest in factories on a trial basis.

However, the real estate sector is not available yet.

Xiao Li said: "Mr. Li came here last time. He said that he needed to calculate the mortgage-related costs, and he would call me over after the arrangements were completed."

Gao Yao still had great trust in Li Guowei's ability. After hearing this, he said: "Subject to General Li's opinion."

"boss."

Xiao Li took courage and said: "I think the nature of the current first phase of customers is different and cannot be used as a reference for real estate sales data."

Gao Yao asked curiously: "What's the difference?"

When Xiao Li mentioned it, Gao Yao smiled casually. There was nothing he could do about it.

In later generations, it was said that the real estate developer had no related households?
Hong Kong Island is even more exaggerated. The real estate sales here directly gave birth to a profession called scalpers...

"Then what do you mean?"

Xiao Li came from a cultural background and had been in marketing for several years. He was able to endure hardships and had brains. Gao Yao had always valued him.

And many major events in later generations have proved his foresight.

Gao Yao then encouraged: "You are fighting on the front line and facing many problems head-on."

"Speak confidently and boldly."

The world has changed. In the past, the fragrance of wine was not afraid of the depth of the alley. Now, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.

So now the whole world is creating some sort of god of salesmanship, because most products require salesmanship to be sold.

For Gao Yao, a house is also a product and needs to be promoted, so he attaches great importance to the feedback from front-line sales.

And I also want to see what kind of tricks this Xiao Li can come up with!
