Video Game Empire - Chapter 683
In 1992, early spring in the southern country!
Standing on the roof of Caiji Seafood Building, Li Xuan overlooks the deep-sea special zone on the other side of the bay across the blue-grey water. The bay in front of him is called Houhai. The winding coastline has no golden beaches and surfing tourists, but only rugged reefs and patches of mangroves.
People who don’t live by the sea may be puzzled. Mangroves are not red at all, but just some green trees and shrubs that grow by the sea. These seaside miscellaneous trees are called “mangroves” because they are rich in “tannins”, which quickly oxidize and turn red after being felled.
Except for the mangroves, which can not be regarded as scenic, even the sea in Deep Bay is not that pleasing blue. This is because the entire Lingdingyang Bay area, including Houhai, is the mouth of the Pearl River. A large amount of sediment washed down by the river has painted the blue sea water into blue-gray.
Therefore, the scenery of Houhai is not beautiful, and Li Xuan is not looking at the sea to enjoy the scenery, but to witness a great historical moment, which is a new chapter in the story of spring. An old man came to the deep-sea special zone for the third time. One of his trips today was to inspect the deep-sea electronic industrial park across the bay.
Li Xuan didn’t know how the old man’s itinerary was arranged in another time and space. But he knows very well that the special zone in that time and space does not have such a large-scale electronic industrial park that almost supports the backbone of the deep-sea industry.
For this, Li Xuan is also quite proud, his little butterfly has changed at least some things!
In fact, the changes it has brought are far more than a deep-sea electronic industrial park. Even the seafood restaurant he is standing in is not available in another time and space. In another time and space, Yuen Long was regarded as a remote country by Hong Kong people until the 1990s, and ghosts would go to the back seaside of the deserted countryside to eat seafood.
But this life is different. Because of the rise of Hong Kong’s high-tech electronics industry, Yuen Long is now not only the most important core industrial area in Hong Kong, but also the fastest-growing urban sub-center in Hong Kong. Together with the entire northwestern New Territories, the development speed in the past seven or eight years has been like riding a rocket.
The land in the Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park was actually exhausted a few years ago, so the new factories spread like cancer cells all over Yuen Long. You must know that Yuen Long is far less developed than Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
In another time and space, even after 20 to 30 years, there are still large areas of wasteland and farmland in the western and northern New Territories, including Yuen Long and Fanling. Therefore, to a certain extent, the shortage of land resources in Hong Kong is actually a false proposition.
It’s just that many things in the New Territories are far more complicated than those in the urban areas. The legacy problems brought by the aborigines have always been the biggest stumbling block for the British Hong Kong authorities to develop the New Territories. Before the British made up their minds to solve these problems, Hong Kong had already decided to return in 1997, and they naturally did not want to bother about it.
And in this time and space, because of the emergence of Li Xuan and Dongfang Group, Yuen Long has become the largest electronics manufacturing center in Hong Kong. With Dongfang Group as the center, a large number of factories in the upstream and downstream industry chains are flocking, and the required industrial land is far beyond the area of Tianshuiwei Electronics Park.
However, as long as the factory owners have enough profits, the Eight Immortals will naturally cross the sea and show their magical powers. A large amount of farmland scattered in the hands of the aborigines in the New Territories has been transformed into new factories after buying and selling and paying the land price to the Hong Kong government.
This is a bottom-up industrialization movement. When a large number of Tai Tong Village Industrial Park, Shangcun Industrial Park, Kam Tin Industrial Park, Pat Heung Industrial Park, and San Tin Industrial Park emerged around Yuen Long, a large number of them were planned by the government. , the Hong Kong-British government cannot accelerate the industrial planning and layout of the Yuen Long area when there are no new industrial areas that cannot be found at all.
In addition to industrial planning, even the small house problem, which once caused a headache for the British Hong Kong authorities and the future Hong Kong government, has also come up with new solutions in the surging wave of economic development in Yuen Long.
When the British occupied the New Territories, in order to gain the support of the local residents, they agreed that the male descendants of the local residents could obtain the right to build a house without paying the land price to the government, commonly known as “small house”.
According to the latest policy implemented by the Hong Kong-British authorities since 1972, each person can apply once in his life to build a building with a total of 3 floors (27 feet / 8.23 meters high) within the scope of approval, and the area of each floor does not exceed 700 feet (about 65 square meters) Ding House. The living area of Hong Kong, which has a small area and many people, is almost the same as a small townhouse.
However, its liquidity is far from that of a real villa, because according to regulations, if the small house is sold to non-indigenous residents, it needs to pay the land price to the Hong Kong government. The price of land in Hong Kong is second to none in the world.
Therefore, after the small house has made up for the land price, only the real elite rich can afford it. But how could these people come to the countryside of the New Territories to buy property?
You must know that the small house is only comparable to the small villa in terms of living area, but its infrastructure and surrounding environment are very different. Which rich man would like his neighbors to be poor people with only a few tenths or even a few percent of his own income. Wouldn’t he be afraid of being robbed and robbed in the middle of the night?
As the economy of Yuen Long began to take off, the value of the small house was different. They have become the fragrant buns in the eyes of real estate developers. The real estate developers are even willing to pay the land price difference themselves and replace the property rights of a small house with a relocated house with three times the area.
Of course, the only condition for real estate developers is that the small houses must be transferred in pieces, otherwise the fragmented land cannot be developed and utilized at all! At this time, the unique Heung-Ye Kuk and Heung-Affair Committees in the New Territories began to play a guiding and coordinating role.
If the family has a small house, in addition to being able to replace it with a mansion with the same living area as the original one, they can also get an additional 7 sets of 600-square-foot junior suites. The family doesn’t even have to do anything and can live a prosperous life just by collecting rent.
As a result, the entire Yuen Long suddenly increased a group of newly rich people who made their fortunes by demolition. You must know that in addition to the small houses in their hands, most of these people still retain the farmland that was used for farming.
However, as the economy of Hong Kong began to take off in the 1960s and 1970s, the cost of living continued to rise, and agricultural farming was simply unable to maintain a decent life. As a result, a large number of farmers in the New Territories fell into the low-income class and were forced to work in cities to support themselves, and the rate of abandonment of farmland continued to soar.
So despite the fact that the New Territories still retain a lot of farmland, more than 95% of Hong Kong’s grain, vegetables, and poultry must be imported from the mainland or Southeast Asia.
These barren fields, which were originally worthless, have now also become an inch of land. Whether it is sold to a real estate developer or developed into an industrial zone, a large amount of assets can be exchanged.
This is where the magic of rapid urbanization lies, with a large concentration of factories and people making Yuen Long the new industrial and economic center of Hong Kong. The huge incremental dividends brought by economic development are enough to meet the needs of the original residents, real estate developers, factory owners and other parties to divide up the needs, so development is the best way to solve the problem.
In another time and space, Hong Kong-Hong Kong has been caught in a dilemma of slow or even stagnant economic development since 1994. In 1994, the GDP of the Deep Sea Special Zone was only one-twentieth of that of Hong Kong. Twenty-five years later, the GDP of the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone has already surpassed that of Hong Kong.
The fundamental reason for the sluggish growth of Hong Kong’s economy after 1994 is that the economic structure is too unbalanced. Apart from finance and real estate, there is nothing left. Then the Asian Financial Crisis completely burst the real estate bubble that was blown up in Hong Kong in the 1990s, so the entire Hong Kong economy naturally suffered heavy losses!
In this life, Hong Kong, although textiles, toys, clothing and other light industries have all moved away, but the electronics industry has quickly filled in~www.mtlnovel.com~ Incidentally, the urban layout of the entire Hong Kong has been improved, making the collapsed western part of the city. And the northern area quickly shortened the distance from the core city.
Ten to twenty years later, after the electronics industry has also moved northward due to cost issues, Li Xuan believes that Hong Kong’s Internet industry will definitely take over the burden and become the new backbone of Hong Kong’s economy.
For example, Quora, a company that became popular all over the world because of Li Xuan’s key promotion at the Global Internet Conference two years ago, just completed the C round of financing of 40 million US dollars not long ago.
What Li Xuan did not expect was that this website, which initially took the knowledge sharing route and was likely to become “Hong Kong Zhihu”, has recently begun to invest heavily in the research and development of search technology, and may become “Hong Kong Google” in the future.
Under the influence of Li Xuan, Hong Kong is now the global Internet capital. A large number of netizens, especially many highly educated netizens, have all kinds of whimsical ideas in the process of using the Internet, and it is very likely that they will become transnational unicorns in the global Internet industry in ten or twenty years!
