Chapter 249 Reclamation of Land! Divide It Together!!
Haojiang is really too small.
There are few people.
The industry is too single.
For this problem, someone has thought it through.
From a very early time, Haojiang has been changing the situation of Haojiang by reclaiming land.
When Portugal just leased Haojiang from the Ming Dynasty, the area was even smaller.
"Mr. Yang, what else?"
"Too few people."
Not only is the land small and the population small, it is even inferior to an ordinary small town in China.
Mr. He, Mr. Ma, and Mr. Cui all nodded.
"The industry is single and prone to problems." Yang Ming said again.
"Mr. Yang, do you think there are other ways to change it?"
Is there any other way to change it?
Of course.
Historically, Haojiang has actually been making changes to this problem and introducing other industries, such as tourism, export processing, insurance, traditional Chinese medicine, etc.
However, Haojiang as a whole relies on the gambling industry.
This has never been changed.
"Yes."
"Mr. Yang, please speak."
"Continue to reclaim land, expand the area of Haojiang, introduce more people, and develop industries in multiple aspects."
There are many small countries and cities in Europe now.
Like Luxembourg, it is one of the most developed countries in Europe, and it does not rely on the gambling industry.
It is mainly based on the steel industry, financial industry, and satellite communications industry.
There are also Singapore, which is also very small in area. It is now one of the four Asian tigers, and later its development even surpassed Hong Kong.
In other words, these countries are very small in area, but they can still be changed. They must not rely on a single industry, otherwise, problems will still arise after a certain level of development.
Reclaim land?
Mr. He, Mr. Cui, and Mr. Ma were all very surprised and delighted when they heard it.
This land reclamation is indeed a way to change the current Haojiang.
"Without land, we can't build houses. Without houses, we can't bring in more people. Without land, we can't build factories and bring in more industries. Therefore, land reclamation is the only way to change the current problem of Haojiang's small area and small population. Apart from these, everything is built on the land area."
The Governor's Office of Haojiang has always been reclaiming land.
Like the current Haojiang Peninsula, it used to be smaller, and it gradually reclaimed a part every year or every few years, and gradually expanded to the present.
The Governor's Office of Haojiang redeveloped the reclaimed land into various functional land.
In history, Liu Da took the land problem of Haojiang reclamation through various illegal means and was eventually sentenced to five years.
Of course, it was because he didn't get the permission of the three major families at all. If he wanted to swallow up the reclaimed land at a cheap price, he would not let him go easily.
Now, the three major families have come to him and told him about this.
"Mr. Yang, you are right. Haojiang is too small, the population is too small, and the industry is too single. We hope to make some changes. So, I want to cooperate with you." He Xian said directly.
Cooperate together?
Why cooperate with Yang Ming?
That's because Yang Ming and Empire Group are too powerful.
When Empire Group swallowed up Jardine Matheson, it was able to take out 15.6 billion Hong Kong dollars to purchase additional shares.
This is the embodiment of Yang Ming's strength.
"Mr. Ho, Mr. Cui, Mr. Ma, how can we cooperate?" Yang Ming asked.
He didn't expect that someone would send him money?
Of course, he thought that this money might not be so easy to earn.
"The three of us will work together with Empire Group to reclaim land. We can sell the land reclaimed from the sea to you, or we can develop other industries together."
In other words.
Reclamation actually requires a lot of costs, such as using a lot of sand and gravel, and a lot of manpower and material resources.
Many places near the sea on the side of Haojiang are not deep, and, affected by the west side of the Pearl River Estuary, there is a lot of silt underneath.
It also requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
It is precisely because of that that the Governor's Office of Haojiang has always been reclaiming land, but the speed is very slow. In the past hundred years, it has only expanded by a few square kilometers.
The Ho Hsien family wanted to find a capable helper like Mr. Yang.
On the other hand, they also didn't want Ho Hung-yen to get too far, so they pulled Mr. Yang in.
They could find Ho Hung-yen for cooperation, and Ho Hung-yen would definitely be very happy.
However, whether it was Ho Hsien, Mr. Cui, or Mr. Ma, they didn't want to feed Ho Hung-yen any more.
Land reclamation?
Yang Ming really didn't expect that the purpose of Mr. Ho Hsien and the other two was this.
In Yang Ming's view, land reclamation is indeed a profitable business.
Land reclamation requires a lot of financial, human and material resources, but as long as it is reclaimed, it must be worth it.
The housing prices in Haojiang are really not low, not as good as the most expensive luxury houses in Hong Kong, and the housing prices have indeed been increasing.
When seeing that Mr. Yang didn't say anything, the Ho Hsien family thought that Yang Ming looked down on Haojiang.
Mr. Yang's Empire Group acquired the Wharf Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group, and Jardine Land Group, which have a large amount of high-quality reserve land in Hong Kong.
Those reserve lands are truly valuable.
As long as the Empire Group does not develop them, the reserve lands will become more and more expensive year by year.
In Haojiang, apart from the single industry of gambling, there seems to be nothing.
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?" Seeing that Yang Ming did not speak, He Xian asked again.
Before Yang Ming came to Haojiang, the three families had discussed for a long time.
They pulled Mr. Yang in, and they did not pay money, but used their relationships to reclaim land, and the profits were divided according to the proportion.
However, they also knew that Mr. Yang was not simple and was not so easy to fool.
"Mr. He, since that is the case, we are all businessmen, I wonder how the profits are divided?"
"Mr. Yang, this is what we think. Among them, the He family 30%, the Cui family 20%, the Ma family 20%, and Mr. Yang 30%."
In other words, according to the ratio of the He family, the Cui family, the Ma family, and the Yang family, it is 3:2:2:3.
Yang Ming is a cross-river dragon, and the three major families of the He family are local snakes. He can take 30%, which seems to be not a small amount.
Yang Ming knows that it is impossible to get these profits for no reason.
Reclamation is a big project, which must require the Empire Group to take out real money for reclamation.
So what will these three major families pay?
They will not pay money.
They can use their connections in Haojiang and their relationship with the Haojiang Governor's Office to allow the Empire Group to legally reclaim land in Haojiang.
Otherwise, how could an outsider who came from outside the river reclaim land in their place casually?
After hearing this, Yang Ming thought about the situation of these three companies and thought it was actually quite fair.
He did not agree rashly. After all, the matter involved was not small.
"Mr. He, Mr. Cui, Mr. Ma, I can't agree to this kind of thing rashly. I need to get the opinions of the management of the Empire Group."
"Mr. Yang, this is what I should do." Mr. He said.
Mr. Cui, Mr. Ma, that's what they meant.
