Hong Kong Government

Wu Guangyao came to MacLeho's office, and MacLeho's assistant presented tea to Wu Guangyao.

Hold up the teacup and blew it, and waves appeared on the calm water;

Wu Guangyao was not too slow, and MacLeho was not in a hurry, and he picked up his coffee and tasted it;

Putting down the teacup, Wu Guangyao said: "Thank you, Governor, let go of your busy work and come to receive me!"

MacLeho looked at Wu Guangyao with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu's enterprises are the pillar enterprises in Hong Kong, feeding a large number of Hong Kong citizens; especially in this oil crisis, Hong Kong Island enterprises faced a test; Chinese people have a saying that "big waves wash away the sand". Who is real and who is just a mess is exposed in this crisis. So, let alone half a day, even if it is a day, I should calm down and listen to Mr. Wu's opinions."

Wu Guangyao said: "Thanks to the Governor for the praise! However, Hong Kong's overall economic vitality is still better than the world level; Hong Kong was the first to react to the oil crisis. After all, we do not have companies such as heavy industry that rely on strong oil."

MacLeho expressed his agreement that Hong Kong's industry does not really rely heavily on oil, unlike the European, American and Japanese industries, which rely heavily on oil;

Therefore, Hong Kong's economy gradually emerged from the shadows in the second half of this year.

MacLeho said: "What surprised me the most was the development of Hong Kong's electronics industry; in this regard, Mr. Wu's company has made outstanding contributions."

MacLeho said it right. As Wu Guangyao moved Sony's arcade, game console, Walkman and other production lines to Hong Kong, these factories alone supported almost 20,000 people;

Of course, Sony has also reduced production costs by 25%, which is what it means to kill two birds with one stone!

Wu Guangyao was humble and then gave MacLeho's letter of praise: "The current prosperity of business in Hong Kong is the result of everyone's efforts together, but I think you have made the greatest contribution; the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has made the administration of Hong Kong Island clear; the 'House plan for residents to have their own houses' ensured the housing needs of ordinary citizens, and the 'nine-year compulsory education' has laid a solid foundation for the overall development of Hong Kong..."

The same sentence is completely different in different people's words;

MacLeho was obviously very happy to be recognized by Wu Guangyao.

Wu Guangyao believes that if he puts forward political reasons, Governor MacLeho is undoubtedly a good Hong Kong ruling and manager;

The same is true for ordinary citizens. Whoever has the ability to solve various problems in Hong Kong society is a good manager.

Although MacLeho has only been in office for three years, various measures to benefit the people have basically been formed.

Governor MacLeho reacted that this person who would not come to the Hong Kong government for no reason must have a purpose;

So, Governor MacLeho said: "Mr. Wu has any good suggestions to the Hong Kong government this time?"

Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "It's for Hong Kong's economic prospects!"

Here comes, MacLeho thought to himself!

I knew that this person who came to Hong Kong must have made a big proposal, so I pushed some work back.

"Mr. Wu, please say it!"

Wu Guangyao said seriously: "Hong Kong's industrial economy seems to grow rapidly every year, but in fact it is already in the storm. When the time comes, Hong Kong's industry will completely disappear."

MacLeho did not speak, nor was he shocked!

It is obvious that these rhetoric are exaggerated words from the opposite person;

Even if there are some problems in Hong Kong's industry, it will not disappear.

MacLeho said, "I hope to hear it carefully!"

Wu Guangyao continued: "Understanding clothing, textiles, and toys are sunset industries in developed countries; in addition, foreign laws have been issued to restrict these industries in Hong Kong; therefore, I am not optimistic about the future of these industries.

What is important is that Hong Kong's land prices and housing prices are not conducive to the future development of these industries."

When he heard a real estate developer say that land prices and housing prices were high, MacLeho wanted to laugh a little;

But then I thought about it and the Hong Kong government should be the biggest responsibility here, and MacLeho could not laugh out loud!

MacLeho responded: "Mr. Wu, although I am not a businessman or an economic expert, industrial transfer seems to be a normal phenomenon. In the past, Britain, Germany, the United States, and Japan 10 years ago, this phenomenon occurred. When the economy develops to a certain extent, low-yield industries will be transferred to developing countries; industries such as garment and textiles are already sunset industries in developed countries. If Hong Kong's economy develops to a certain extent, the departure of these artificial-intensive industries should be normal!"

Wu Guangyao immediately said: "Yes, it's normal! But what's abnormal is that Hong Kong has no other industry that can replace these low-end manufacturing industries. Emerging economies such as Singapore and South Korea have vigorously developed heavy industry and high-tech industries in recent years. I have a prediction that in another 15 years, the per capita industrial output value and industrial output value of these two countries will exceed that of Hong Kong. In another 25 years, Hong Kong's industry will completely disappear."

MacLeho was stunned. Is this person here to be a prophet today?

Fortunately, MacLeho knew that these words only led to the subsequent purpose;

"Since Mr. Wu is so sure, I don't want to argue with you! However, since Mr. Wu has said that, he must have any good suggestions. You might as well say it out and discuss it together!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, not caring whether MacLeho believes it or not!

"Governor General, I think we should refer to Silicon Valley in the United States and set up a science and technology park to incubate a large number of technology companies for Hong Kong! The future is the era of technology, just as I predicted at the beginning, human beings will enter the electronics era. I think that our Hong Kong has a lot of capital, and if we develop these high-tech industries, it will have great advantages in itself!"

MacLeho pondered that building a science and technology park would require a lot of land;

Land is an important source of economic resources for the Hong Kong government. Even if it is the governor of Hong Kong, it is not the only one who has the final say in this regard.

Seeing that MacLeho didn't speak, Wu Guangyao continued: "Frankly speaking, the Wu family wants to invest in a new town!"

MacLeho was stunned and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu, please tell me in detail!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, picked up the information in his hand, and came to MacLeho's desk;

Opening a map of Hong Kong, Wu Guangyao drew a circle in Tin Shui Wai.

"Governor General, this is Tin Shui Wai, now there are farmlands and ponds, with a total area of ​​52 million square feet.

First, we set up a science and technology industrial park similar to Silicon Valley in the United States to form a science and technology industrial park that can find more than 50,000 people;

Second, I am willing to invest in cooperation with the Hong Kong government to establish a University of Science and Technology in Tin Shui Wai to cultivate a large number of science and technology talents;

Third, the entire Tin Shui Wai can accommodate 500,000 people, and the Hong Kong government can build a large number of public housing villages here to attract citizens to come."

Although only a few sentences, MacLeho was also shocked by this huge technology!

The Hong Kong government developed a new town, which was in prosperous places such as Kowloon and the island;

Even if a new town is developed in the New Territories, it is still close to Kowloon, and Kowloon is too far away in Tin Shui Wai.

MacLeho said tentatively: "Mr. Wu, investing in a new town is probably 10 billion Hong Kong dollars is not enough!"

Wu Guangyao said indifferently: "Governor MacLeho, I will analyze an industry for you, and you will know that I don't care about HK$10 billion or US$10 billion. The electronic game industry that has just emerged in recent years has only been less than five years, and now it is a market with an annual output value of more than US$1 billion. According to my estimate, this industry will reach a market of US$10 billion in five years. And my subsidiary Sony is the overlord of this industry. I just want to explain that investing in Tin Shui Wai is not difficult for me; the only thing I need is the investment of the Hong Kong government in transportation and government functional institutions."

After hearing this, MacLeho fell into deep thought!

After a long time, MacLeho said: "Mr. Wu, will you use Tin Shui Wai to engage in a large amount of real estate business?"

Wu Guangyao did not deny it and said: "Governor McLeho, real estate is a commercial act. If the Hong Kong government wants to interfere, it may only be able to build a large number of public housing villages. I am willing to support the Hong Kong government's plan of 'Householders', but it does not mean that I give up the real estate business. To be honest, even if I don't invest in real estate, aren't Chinese capital and Chinese capital investing in real estate a lot? Swire Foreign Company's Taikoo City, with just one residential project, there are 10,000 residential units."

MacLeho was silent. Indeed, British capital's investment in real estate also accounted for a very large proportion.

MacLeho suddenly raised his head and said, "Aren't Mr. Wu worried about the future of the New Territories?"

Obviously, this is a test!

Wu Guangyao said generously: "No worries at all!"

MacLeho further asked: "Does he have confidence in the UK?"

Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "We have confidence in both sides. No matter who is in charge, the will of nearly 5 million people in Hong Kong will be considered by both sides."

Seeing this, MacLeho didn't say anything!

These Chinese are cunning and bet on both sides.

Finally, MacLeho said: "I need to discuss such a large project within the Hong Kong government and then give you a reply. Moreover, you just talked about a rough plan. I hope your team will come up with a specific plan and we will discuss it in the Hong Kong government."

Wu Guangyao nodded and said sincerely: "I hope the Governor will support it. Once this plan is launched, then the industry and technology of Hong Kong Island will have certain competitiveness in the world. You are the Governor of Hong Kong Island and the ruler of Hong Kong Island. I believe that I hope that the tomorrow of Hong Kong Island will be better!"

MacLeho nodded seriously, and he really agreed with Wu Guangyao's words!

Although MacLeho, who was a diplomat, lacked the administrative management experience of the colony, he had no colonial burden. Instead, he was generally considered one of the most outstanding and most loved by the Hong Kong governors in history and the public opinion even described his life as the Hong Kong governor in the "Medalee era".
