Chapter 736 Exchange Conditions

"How long until the first phase of Qilin Garden can be moved in?" MacLehose turned around and asked Yin Jundao.

"The first batch should be completed around August next year at the latest, and the second phase will be ready around this time next year." Yin Jun said, "Our construction speed is not as fast as others, but we have done a solid job. It’s guaranteed that the house can last for 50 years without any problem.”

"Yes." MacLehose nodded, "How long do you estimate it will take at the earliest to integrate all the immigrants in Tin Shui Wai into a large and well-organized community like Qilin Garden?"

"The number of households here should be around 10,600, and the population is almost 35,000, but the entire project will take at least about 8 years to complete." Yin Jun replied calmly, "We have started construction. Cheung Kong Group, Wheelock and Derun may not start construction in the next two years. Therefore, if they want to absorb all of their nearly 300,000 people, I am afraid they will not be able to do it within 10 years.”

"Hmph, these real estate developers only know how to hoard land and sell it at higher prices!" MacLehose couldn't help snorting.

MacLehose was a nice person, but that didn't mean he had no temper.

You can never be a person who can be a clay Buddha for two years, and then strike out in one fell swoop to bring down the entire corrupt system in Hong Kong, and then build Hong Kong into a relatively clean government system in just a few years. Look down on him.

MacLehose knew the tricks of these real estate businessmen. Because of this, he admired people like Yin Jun who actively started construction after taking the land.

I feel that this is a young man who is energetic and dares to break the rules, similar to myself back then.

"You still have 4 million square feet of Class B land-exchange rights certificates, right? This can also accommodate almost 35,000 people." MacLehose began to calculate the accounts for Yin Jun, "If it is built, then it can It can accommodate 70,000 people. But Yin Jun, you have no idea that our city in Xiangjiang has definitely not only increased by 300,000 people in the past year or so. Including their relatives who are coming to Hong Kong, there must be at least 700,000 people!

Most of these people are distributed in the New Territories. With such a large population increase all at once, all kinds of contradictions are bound to become more prominent. The pressure in the New Territories in the next few years will be really great! If things go wrong, I am afraid that all kinds of riots and unrest will gradually appear and even spread to other areas of Xiangjiang! "

Yin Jun immediately became vigilant when he heard that MacLehose was interested in his B-type land exchange rights document.

The young man gave a bitter smile and said: "Mr. Governor, this time they forced me to sell the land of Qilin Garden to them. At the same time, they also made an agreement with me that we need to reach a consensus with them on the use of the Type B land exchange rights document. We can no longer destroy the market as we are now."

"Destroying the market? Haha!" MacLehose shook his head but said no more.

He is not an idiot, so he naturally knows that what Yin Jun said must be true. How could those real estate businessmen let go of such a big loophole?

"Mr. Governor." Yin Jun understood why MacLehose came here to inspect. He weighed his tone and said, "I think the current increase in population will not do much harm to Xiangjiang. After all, we still need people to come to Xiangjiang. Construction, and the New Territories is such a large area, it is more than enough to accommodate 700,000 people. The key lies in how we guide them so that they can have something to do and focus on how to build Hong Kong and add some strength to Hong Kong's economic prosperity. In this case, not only are they not a trouble, but they will help Xiangjiang move forward!"

MacLehose strongly agreed with Yin Jun's views: "Mr. Yin, you are right, this is how we should look at the problem! It's just that the current industrialization in Xiangjiang is not developed enough, has many constraints, and is not large-scale. These problems are all This has seriously affected the number and scale of workers in Xiangjiang! It’s difficult to keep them all busy with the current digestion capacity alone!”

"That's not necessarily true." Yin Jun thought of the methods used in the mainland in his previous life. "I think the best way to solve the workers' problem is to vigorously carry out infrastructure construction work. For example, the current ring road in Xiangjiang and the construction of highways in various places have It can accommodate a large number of people. There are also other municipal construction, buildings, ports, factories and other industries. As long as everyone can help solve a little problem, it will not be a big problem. After all, although the population is as large as 700,000, it is only 300,000 It’s just about the working population.”

"It costs a lot of money for the government to build roads. Where can we get so much money?" Although MacLehose agreed with Yin Jun's idea, he was a little embarrassed, "Also, there are so many people who need to work in Xiangjiang itself. People, if all the industries you mentioned were done by new immigrants, wouldn’t this increase the conflicts between them?”

"In terms of money, I can't help you come up with ideas, but you can definitely think of it, Mr. Governor." Yin Jun said, "As for job opportunities, Kirin Group will have some projects coming up in the past two years. We will solve them when the time comes. With an employed population of 20,000 to 30,000, there should be no problem.”

"good!"

MacLehose couldn't help but patted Yin Jun on the shoulder, smiled and praised: "If there are more outstanding entrepreneurs like you in Xiangjiang, we will definitely develop better!"

Yin Jun also smiled and said, "If you dare to give me more support, Mr. Governor, I can make Xiangjiang more prosperous."

MacLehose thought Yin Jun was talking casually, so he asked casually: "Haha, what are you going to do?"

"Petrochemical industry." Yin Jun said seriously, "It is a petrochemical industry that is larger in scale and has better industry than Jurong Island in Singapore."

MacLehose was stunned, ‘Petrochemical industry? "

"Yes, the petrochemical industry and the oil refining industry are all industries that will develop very rapidly in the future." Yin Jun said, "Not to mention that we are right next to China! This country has now begun large-scale reforms. Open. Once the power breaks out, it will be very terrifying! And the various resources they need, especially petrochemical resources, will also be unimaginable!

Xiangjiang has the advantage of port transit and a close environment with mainland China. If we can vigorously develop the petrochemical industry and sell these products to companies in need in mainland China, the profits and influence will suddenly increase the status of Xiangjiang, no longer just a transit port! "

MacLehose fell silent.

He began to think about Singapore's Jurong Island in his mind, and then wondered what the future would be like if Hong Kong established such a chemical industry island.

Yin Jun is talking about mainland China. MacLehose believes that mainland China will definitely be able to slowly catch up in 10 years, but not now.

If you really want to consider it, you must consider Baodao, Japan and South Korea. These three countries and regions with large demand for petrochemical products will definitely be able to fully release the production capacity of the first phase of Xiangjiang project.

While developing in this way, while waiting for the demand in mainland China to surge, 20 years later, Xiangjiang will surpass Singapore and become the number one petrochemical processing industry center in Asia. It is not certain!

But after thinking about it more specifically, MacLehose immediately calmed down.

It is really difficult for Xiangjiang to develop this kind of petrochemical industry.

First of all, what happened in Singapore?

It took them the whole country and ten or twenty years to reach its current scale.

Moreover, Singapore is located on the main thoroughfare of the Strait of Malacca, with a very dangerous traffic location. It can be said that it is the only place for oil transportation, and it is also the best port for stopping and resting on the way.

It is precisely with so many natural favorable conditions and their national support that Jurong Island was established. However, this is only the beginning. If you want to build Jurong Island even better, you still need to Decades, plus more money.

Where does the Hong Kong government have so much money?

It is quite difficult to maintain the government's various expenses on weekdays, and it has to be subsidized by selling land.

If it involves such billions or even tens of billions of expenditures, there is simply nothing you can do!

Seeing MacLehose deep in thought, Yin Jun naturally knew what he was thinking about and worried about.

Does Yin Jun want to engage in the petrochemical industry?

think!

Really want to!

For no other reason than to kill those bastards in Singapore, Yin Jun also wanted to engage in petrification.

But there is always too much gap between ideal and reality.

The biggest obstacle to Yin Jun's desire to engage in the petrochemical industry is Xiangjiang itself.

Xiangjiang is so close to the mainland. It is different from Treasure Island. It is simply integrated with the mainland.

So, since people have transported oil to you, Xiangjiang, why not take a few more steps and go directly to Guangdong Port, directly to Tsuenzhou Port, directly to Lin'an Port, directly to Shanghai Port, directly to Jinwei Port, directly to Where is Jingzhou Port...?

Another point is that after Xiangjiang returns, how to deal with the affairs of Xiangjiang is very complicated.

But in any case, if a country's important petrochemical base is placed in Xiangjiang, it is obvious that the mainland bosses will not rest assured.

It must be within the range that you can control.

There are too many variables in Xiangjiang, and conflicts may easily arise.

Therefore, the mainland is definitely willing to build its own petrochemical base, so as to cross Hong Kong and do this in various provinces in the mainland.

Once the mainland starts to do this, those oil tankers returning from the Middle East will rest and berth at your Xiangjiang port for a day or two at most, and then set sail northward. It will be impossible to unload oil in Xiangjiang for the petrochemical industry. ——No company dares to go against the mainland’s decision-making so blatantly, not even Xiangjiang itself.

Therefore, what Yin Jun is saying now is just to paint a pie for MacLehose to make him feel that he is very ambitious in his career, so as to provide him with support in all aspects.

You know, there are not many days until MacLehose leaves Hong Kong!

In March 1982, this good governor will leave his post and return to the UK. By then, many things will not be easy to handle!

It is necessary to work hard to lay a solid foundation in many aspects while MacLehose is still in Hong Kong, so that Yin Jun can cope with the complex and difficult situation that will follow.

In Hong Kong, if you only engage in the entertainment industry, then the British Hong Kong government will do whatever it wants to deal with you, without any scruples at all!

But if you have tens of thousands of workers in Hong Kong and affect the lives of 100,000 people, then whatever the Hong Kong government wants to do, it really needs to think carefully.

This is one of the important reasons why Yin Jun decided to locate both the Kirin Toy Factory and the Kirin Printing Factory in Xiangjiang despite the high wages and labor costs in Xiangjiang.

"The petrochemical industry is still very difficult for Xiangjiang." After thinking for a while, MacLehose slowly said to Yin Jun: "It's a good thing that you have this ambition, but you should still consider it carefully. If this matter You told me five years ago that maybe I would agree to cooperate with you, but now... I don't have much time in Xiangjiang, and I can't give you much help."

"I just have this idea. If we really do it, it will take at least two or three years to prepare and plan." Yin Jun nodded and said, "Doing the petrochemical industry is not a child's play. It requires too many resources, and The ability to invest continuously at a loss. If you want to do it, you must have good planning and preparation.”

"It's best if you think so." MacLehose suddenly smiled and said coldly: "Seeing you so actively want to do things, I think your satellite TV plan should be very interesting!"

Yin Jun was shocked.

It turns out that MacLehose came to Tin Shui Wai for this matter?

Superman Li is so fast!

He didn't stop talking and said seriously: "Yes, Mr. Governor, I am from this background, so thinking about satellite TV is not a day or two. If the government can give me some help, let... If I can set up satellite TV, I might be able to find a new way to make Hong Kong more international and make our cultural industry more influential to other countries and regions."

"I believe in your ability to produce TV series and programs, and I also know that you are very calm in doing things." MacLehose said with a smile, "But satellite TV is not a simple plan. I need the most detailed plan. Planning book, if the planning book can impress me, I will promote the development of this matter, do you understand?"

"I will send the plan to your office as soon as possible." Yin Jun took a breath and said, as long as MacLehose is willing to help.

"However, I have requirements." MacLehose turned around and pointed at the chaotic streets and houses, and said: "50,000 people. I want you to give me a promise. Before I leave my job, you must help me solve the problem. Is it okay to deal with employment issues for 50,000 people?”

Yin Jun paused deliberately for a while, then raised his head: "Okay!"

"Haha, I know you will agree, you are a good boy!" MacLehose laughed.

At his age, he might be able to be Yin Jun's grandfather.

Such a sentence also brought him and Yin Jun closer.

"Aren't you afraid that I will regret it after getting the benefits?" Yin Jun asked him.

"If Yin Jun, who always puts credibility first, is like this, then I can only blame myself for being short-sighted!"

MacLehose laughed and walked down the mound.

…

(I saw the opinion again, saying that it is wrong to call him Governor, but there is nothing I can do. There are too many forbidden words. I hope you will understand me if I encounter words with similar sounds or something.)
