v3 Chapter 966： Intend to benefit others

Xia Yu's words caused MacLehose to fall into deep thought.

Xia Yu smiled and waited, looking at the distant fields from time to time.

The lower the degree of development here, the more satisfied he is.

Because this means that there is less resistance to the construction of the science and technology industrial park, and the construction cost is also lower. The science and technology industrial park can be completed faster and get on track.

For his grand strategy, there are many benefits.

After a while, MacLehose recovered.

He said to Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what you said is reasonable. As long as you can bring in enough companies, you can plan a larger science and technology industrial park, but if it wants to surpass the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, then Xiacun Township alone not enough."

Speaking of this, MacLehose paused, pointed his finger on the map, and continued: "Xiacun Township is already on the coast to the west and mountains to the east, so I can only go north or south."

"To the south is Tuen Mun District. There will be great hidden dangers in the construction and management of the industrial park across the district, and the terrain is not as flat as the Yuen Long District, with many hills. To the north is Ping Shan Township, with Tian Shui Wai as the center and the Shajiang River. If natural villages with large populations such as Weiwei, Fengjiawei, and Wangjing Village want to expand the science and technology industrial park, these enclosed villages must be relocated, which is too difficult to implement."

"Mr. Xia, it's not that I don't support your plan, but the reality is too restrictive."

MacLehose’s tone is very sincere. He really wants to develop Xiangjiang well and benefit the people of Xiangjiang. Otherwise, at the end of his political career, there is no need for him to make a big fight and support Xia Yu to build such a technology industrial park.

He also knows very well that if this technology industrial park is successfully established, it will benefit Hong Kong for at least 50 years.

But this achievement is likely to be sent to the mainland, and many people in the British political circle are unwilling to see this happening.

Although there are also factors that strengthen the British influence on Xiangjiang, he is still willing to do such a thing when it is very likely to make wedding dresses for the mainland, which shows that he is indeed worthy of the citizens of Xiangjiang.

Xia Yu also considered this actual problem.

Except for the Yuen Long District, even in the Tai Po District, if you want to build a science and technology industrial park comparable to the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, you can barely do it, but if you want to surpass, conditions do not allow it.

So if Xia Yu wants to realize his own ideas, he must face the two problems raised by McLehose.

Either expand to the south and include parts of the Tuen Mun district. As long as the Hong Kong government is tough enough and implements his recommendations based on the experience of later generations, there are ways to solve the risks of cross-district construction and jurisdiction.

But the more difficult thing is that there are many hills, and these hills must be flattened, and the amount of construction is too great.

Xia Yu knew in his heart that the Hong Kong government did not have the financial resources to do this, and it took too long. After all, this was to move the mountains away.

If it expands to the north, the natural village dominated by Tianshuiwei will become a huge obstacle, and most of the villagers’ houses will have to be demolished.

The best way is to choose a spot to concentrate the scattered population.

Although the Hong Kong government has now put forward a plan to develop the new town of Tin Shui Wai, it is also limited by the financial strength of the Hong Kong government, and there is still nothing to do. The villagers in Tin Shui Wai are disappointed with the government.

And the Cheung Kong Industrial Group and several other companies that have already entered the market also don't have the strength and energy to develop for the time being, and can only shelve it.

The population relocation problem of these natural villages cannot be solved. Villagers will naturally not allow the Hong Kong government to take over their fields smoothly. Vicious incidents such as conflicts and obstruction will definitely occur one after another.

Fortunately, in order to firmly hold the political interests of the land in its hands, the Hong Kong Government has specially formulated a policy that stipulates that in addition to every male, the indigenous people of the New Territories have the right to be allocated a piece of land to build small houses after they reach adulthood. If you want to change agricultural land for commercial use, you must obtain approval from the Hong Kong government, but the Hong Kong government does not give private approval at all!

Therefore, the value of these land without commercial use is low. As long as the housing and employment problems of these villagers are solved, so that they will not cause trouble, these land acquisitions will not be difficult. The Hong Kong government will issue a document to determine the price.

"Mr. Xia, should we go to the nearby village?"

Seeing that Xia Yu seemed unable to think of any effective ideas for a time, McLehose suggested.

Xia Yu stretched her brows slightly and nodded and said, "Okay, let's listen to your arrangements."

After 　　, McLehose, Xia Yu and others took a car to the nearest Xiangjiangwei.

Xiangjiangwei is very remote and the roads are bumpy. On the way to Xiangjiangwei, we rarely see any buildings. They are basically fields and fish ponds or wilderness. From time to time we can see plainly dressed villagers working, not only old people, but middle-aged people. There are many men and women.

In a roadside shelter, the car of Xia Yu and others stopped and everyone got out of the car.

The arrival of 　　 Xia Yu and others attracted the attention of the working villagers nearby, and many people stopped and looked over.

Xia Yu found a closer middle-aged man who was fertilizing rice, walked over, and asked kindly: "Uncle, can I ask you something?"

The middle-aged man squeezed a honest smile and nodded and said, "Of course."

Xia Yu asked: "Have you always farmed at home for a living?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's mainly farming, and there are two fish ponds. If there are odd jobs nearby, he will do the rest of the time."

Xia Yu continued to ask: "How much money can you make at the end of that year? Is it enough for the family?"

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Where can I make any money? Apart from the food he grows, the money from selling food and fish is barely enough for the family's expenses. You can survive, but you can't save much money."

"If you are lucky this year and can do more work for people, you may save some money and add some furniture to your home."

Xia Yu thoughtfully asked, “Why don’t your wife and parents be allowed to plant the land at home? At your age, you can go to the factory and work. It is better than your farming, right?”

The middle-aged man looked helpless, and shook his head and said, "Workmanship must be better than farming. How much money can farming make?"

"It's just that there are no factories around here. If you want to work, you have to go to Tai Po District or Kowloon. Ours is too biased. It takes a few hours to go there. Many factories do not include board and lodging, which is simply unrealistic. And I There are old people and young people, and I need to deal with many things, so I can’t get away."

Xia Yu nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then if you are given a chance to enter the city and you still have to work, but you have to give up these fields and the old house at home, would you like it?"

The middle-aged man said without hesitation: “Of course I do, but I don’t want to be a fool. What can I do if I stay in the country? My ancestors guarded these fields for generations. They didn’t die but they didn’t live well. Only in the city can the destiny of the family be changed and become a master!"

"Just because of my family, I can't afford a house in the city, unless the Hong Kong government will build a cheap public housing for us, but this kind of good thing will not fall on me, there are too few public housing, and there is no Fix it to us."

"Hey, maybe I won’t be able to buy public housing until the day I die. UU Reading is counting on the Hong Kong government to build public housing for all of us. I might as well expect more big bosses like you to come. I will work more and save some money to see if I can move into the city in this life?"

"By the way, boss, do you need someone to do the job? I have strength and I am familiar with this neighborhood."

Xia Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Not for the time being."

In the disappointed eyes of the middle-aged man, Xia Yu took out ten Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed it to him: "Uncle, thank you, I will disturb you."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, rubbed his hands, looked at Xia Yu, then grinned and accepted the money Xia Yu gave, and thanked him again and again: "Thank you boss, I wish you a fortune!"

Xia Yu smiled, waved to him, and then found some people to chat and ask some questions.

There are old people and women, as well as young people.

After asking them, Xia Yu's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he thought of a highly enforceable method.

If implemented well, being able to count the birds with one stone will not only bring about earth-shaking changes in the Yuen Long District, but also benefit his grand strategy for Heung Kong.

It’s just that this method is a bit detrimental, and Xia Yu really succeeded, so there are definitely some people who will bite their teeth with hatred, such as Li Jiacheng.

PS: The province came to check, and suddenly there was a jump, and I worked overtime every night. I was speechless. I had to work overtime until late at night after I came back. I still have to change it today.
