The four of them just chatted and ate and drank for half the afternoon. If the heating at home was not very sufficient, they would probably not be able to stand drinking beer all the time.
After finishing the meal, Zhao raised his glass and said, "I can't drink any more. Although the beer content is not high, I'm already feeling dizzy after drinking so much.
The last cup will be regarded as an early farewell to Jin Jue. I hope you can achieve great results in your new position, bring great development to the local area, and make the local people prosperous and healthy.
Finally, I wish you a bright future, a prosperous official career, and the ability to realize your political ambitions. "
When everyone heard Zhao Yi's words, they all picked up the wine glasses in their hands and said similar words, congratulating Zhou Jinjue on his successful career. Anyway, it was a joyous occasion.
Zhou Jinjue drank a can of beer directly among everyone's blessings, wiped his mouth and said: "Thank you for your blessings, I will keep in mind the political ambition of benefiting the country during my term as an official.
None of us can know the future clearly, but I think that as long as we take every step well and serve the people in a down-to-earth manner during our term of office, our journey in this world will be worthwhile. "
The reason why Zhou Jinjue said this was because everyone's blessings reminded him to keep his political ambitions in mind. There was no blessing for promotion and wealth. This was actually the expectation of the other three people.
Because in their opinion, the status of the four of them has surpassed that of most people in the country. It would be a bit of a loss if they were still worrying about personal money.
Not to mention Zhao Yi, the super rich man, the three of them are worth a lot now. During the 1984 Olympics, the gambling games purchased by Zhao Yi for them brought them more than 1 million US dollars in income.
Later, the domestic stock market was established, and Zhao Yi also asked them to invest these funds in the stock market. Since there are currently very few listed companies in the country, there are not many tradable stocks.
Although the per capita income in the country is not high, it cannot cope with the situation of more people and less meat. As a result, the growth rate of the eight stocks initially listed was quite astonishing.
Seeing such a huge increase, the three of them all wanted to sell, but Zhao Yi persuaded him to let it go. If new shares were listed again, they could just sell and buy new shares.
Just such an operation brought them a huge capital surplus. Although they have not yet settled down, judging from the current situation of the stock market, the possibility of losses is very low, and continued bullishness is currently common. mentality.
Of course Zhao Yi knew that in the early days of my country's stock market, the craziness of the stock market was unmatched by later generations. Some stocks would rise hundreds of times. As long as you stabilize your mentality, you can basically make money.
However, Zhao Yi still reminded them that once new shares appear, they will sell the old shares, because the current stock price actually deviates seriously from their actual value.
Even if there are no new stocks listed, they can still hold them. At least the cost of buying them is extremely low, and the possibility of losing money is basically non-existent. It is just a matter of making more or less.
But new stocks are different. The issuance price is generally low. As long as you buy it at the first time, it is basically a guaranteed profit. If it doesn't increase by 8 times or 10 times, you will be embarrassed to say to others that you bought the right stock. .
It can be said that the first batch of investors were actually quite lucky. At that time, as long as they entered at a low position, they would make money. Of course, entering at a high position is dangerous in any era. There is nothing to say about this.
In addition, Zhao Yi will occasionally give them guidance. When it is time to sell, Zhao Yi will remind them, so that there is no possibility of losing money.
So they are all rich now, especially Zhou Jinjue. Because of his political affiliation, Zhao Yi does not want him to get involved in business interests, which will make him slowly lose himself on the road to politics.
But there is no problem in investing in some stocks, and when his property officially entered the political arena, he had already applied for notarization, in order to avoid falling into other people's mouths.
You must know that after the original 1 million US dollars, which is 2 million yuan, was invested in the stock market, the average income has reached 10 times the original, which is 20 million yuan.
This amount of money definitely ranks among the super rich in China. Today's private self-employed people are still in the stage of selling their labor force, which is far behind him.
If he didn't report his property from the beginning, he might not be able to tell clearly when he had so much money. Zhao Yi told him to do this when he said he planned to enter the government department.
Zhao Yi has never thought about letting Zhou Jinjue live a poor life as an upright official. There is no need. He can make the lives of those around him better within his own ability, and there is no problem at all.
Officials are also human beings and they also need to make a living. There is nothing wrong with obtaining a certain amount of economic income while adhering to their own principles.
However, Zhao Yi hates using his position for personal gain, so Zhao Yi warned Zhou Jinjue not to participate in commercial activities in any form.
Just like Zhao Yi himself, he will not interfere in any domestic political activities. Politicians should do what politicians should do, that is, be the spokesperson of "righteousness" in the national governance system.
If you are unable to assume the role of spokesperson for "righteousness", it means that you are a failed political figure. This is completely different from the Western political governance system.
From ancient times to the present, my country's political governance system has been based on "righteousness", which is conducive to maintaining social fairness and justice and maintaining normal social order. It is a social contract between the people and the government.
If this "righteousness" is gradually missing in social governance, then the entire society will slowly fall into turmoil, and eventually the legitimacy of the government will collapse.
From ancient times to the present, our country's governance system has been a social contract centered on "righteousness", forming trust between the people and the government. If "righteousness" is destroyed, the basis of the government's legitimacy will be destroyed.
The Western political governance system is based on "profit", which is very different from our political governance system. This is why our government is undemocratic in their eyes, but it can gain the support of so many people.
They find it incredible in their eyes that in the Western world, the distinction between politicians and businessmen is blurred, and the identities between the two can be switched at any time.
But in our country's political governance system, politicians are politicians and businessmen are businessmen. They can be converted into each other, but they will not switch back and forth.
Once you enter politics, you need to abandon your identity as a businessman, and vice versa. This has been the case for thousands of years, and it still has not changed.
There are already some bad signs in society. Some officials and officials have begun to use their personal connections to seek improper benefits and harm the interests of the country.
It's just that this situation has just begun to appear, and it is not very obvious yet. The central government has not started to clean up this, but Zhao Yi is already a little bit uncomfortable with it, but it has not reached a certain level for the time being, and the impact is not big, so he has temporarily pressed the button. That’s all.
The four of them have been together for so long, and everyone knows everyone's temperament. Although Zhou Jinjue is usually dull, he is a person with a strong sense of justice. As long as he does not make financial mistakes, he will basically be a qualified official.
Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have arranged for Lin Hexia to go to Hong Kong, except that he needed a trustworthy person to handle the affairs there.
Another most important reason is that Lin Hexia comes from an official family. This status will inevitably be reflected in the facts when engaged in economic activities in the country, making people constantly suspicious, and may even be used as an excuse to attack him.
But it's different in Hong Kong. The economic and political systems there are completely different from those in China. Although there is a certain degree of influence in China, it is not something that ordinary mainland officials can influence.
This eliminates the possibility of using power for personal gain, and no one will use this to attack him. Even because of the special nature of Hong Kong, Lin Hexia is now receiving great attention from the mainland government, and his status has been improved a lot.
Since it was getting late, the three of them did not go back and rested here for the night. Early the next morning, when Zhao came together, Zhou Jinjue had already gone back to work.
As the school was relatively relaxed, Zhou Jinyu did not go to work so early. Instead, after having breakfast here, she went to school slowly.
After Lin Hexia accompanied Zhao Yi to have breakfast, she came to Zhao Yi's study. She needed to report to Zhao Yi on the operating conditions of the companies under the umbrella holding company.
There was a cup of tea in front of each of them. Lin Hexia held a tablet in his hand and began to report on the industrial development of Hong Kong.
According to Lin Hexia's report, the main building of the new town built by the Hong Kong Housing Company has been basically completed, and internal decoration and road greening work is now underway.
This speed is actually very fast. It has been fully calculated. It has been less than two years since the construction of the new city started, and it has only taken more than a year to complete the main building of the entire new city. This is already a very remarkable achievement.
It can be carried out so quickly. First, the engineering machinery provided by Tianshu Machinery Company is very easy to use and plays a great role in improving the efficiency of building construction.
Second, the units involved in the project construction are fully committed, because the contract has relatively strict requirements on the construction progress, so they have invested a lot of equipment and manpower to ensure the progress of the project.
If they were fully invested because of the contract before, their mentality has changed as China Housing Corporation has begun to enclose large areas in the mainland and implement urbanization construction strategies.
Although China Housing Corporation has not released detailed data on land acquisitions, they have still obtained relevant and accurate data, especially the domestic central enterprises in the past, who have a lot of resources in this area.
Since China Housing Corporation has enclosed so much land, it must invest in construction, so why wouldn't they be excited about such a large project volume? As long as they get the cooperation contract, they still have to worry about making no money.
Therefore, when the grand strategy of infrastructure construction came out in the mainland, they had already received relevant information. More manpower and equipment were invested in the construction of the new city, and the progress had exceeded the progress stipulated in the contract.
As a result, other Hong Kong construction companies that contracted construction tasks also increased their investment. Although they did not know the specific situation at the time, they still blindly followed the footsteps of these mainland central enterprises.
On the one hand, although they don't know the inside story, they can't lag too far behind in terms of progress, otherwise it will be too obvious when comparing the two, and they are afraid that the Hong Kong Housing Company will have special views on them.
On the other hand, there is their gambling nature. Although they do not know the inside story, there must be a reason why these central enterprises suddenly accelerated their progress. No matter what the reason is, just follow it.
According to Lin Hexia's report, according to the current construction progress, this new city will be able to complete all work before the end of this year, and then it can officially welcome Hong Kong citizens to move in.
In addition to focusing on the construction of new towns, the current main job of the Hong Kong Housing Corporation is to attract investment from outside. This work has already begun when the construction of new towns begins.
First of all, the major retail companies under the trading company immediately announced their presence in the new city to provide convenience for the residents of the new city.
Then other companies that trust the strength of Hong Kong housing companies have also announced that they will consider moving their headquarters to the new city.
Not to mention the companies under Zhao Yi, all those with business in Hong Kong have stated that they will build their headquarters in Xincheng or move their headquarters to Xincheng, just to support the development of brother companies.
Some companies under Zhao Yi even encouraged companies with whom they had cooperative relationships to expand their business to the new city, and they swore that the development of the new city would not be inferior to that of the city center, and the earlier they entered, the more advantageous it would be.
Although the new town is newly built, due to its excellent architectural design, it will be much more comfortable for office use than in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island.
Of course, the most important thing is that the rent in the new city is much cheaper than in the city center, which can greatly reduce the operating costs of enterprises and also reduce the living costs of employees.
Moreover, ground roads and subways will be built one after another. By then, the convenience of the new town will be greatly improved. It only takes less than 20 minutes to reach the city center from the new town, which is very convenient.
In order to gain popularity, Hong Kong housing companies have also offered substantial discounts on rents, especially commercial rents, which have been greatly reduced.
As for the residential rent, there was no intention to raise it to a very high level, so the discount would not be very large. This would have great incentives for companies and citizens who do not have to join in the fun in the city center.
So now the entire investment plan and leasing plan of the new city have been completed by 80%. After the China Housing Corporation announced this result, it caused a huge sensation.
People like to join in the fun. If the results are not good, companies and citizens who originally thought about moving to the new city will change their minds.
But now that China Housing Corporation's business plan is being implemented so well, many companies and citizens who originally had no plans to move to the new city are planning to move there.
Therefore, according to Lin Hexia's report, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation's new town business plan will definitely exceed its target before the middle of the year and will never fall behind.
Zhao Yiyi is very satisfied with this result. Whether the new city can succeed depends on whether enough companies will move to the new city.
As long as enough commercial enterprises move there, citizens will also move there, and enough jobs can be provided for local citizens to keep the population of the new city relatively stable.
In addition to many citizens from the city center settling in the new city, some will also come from villagers who originally acquired rural land and needed to provide resettlement housing.
The villagers have property rights in this part of the house, and Zhao Yi did not hold back. According to the population of the resettled family, each person will be provided with an average of 40 square meters of housing.
This is quite generous in Hong Kong. Not only that, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation also gives priority to ensuring their employment. Not to mention arranging positions in other companies, China Housing Corporation's Xincheng Property can arrange enough jobs.
This is quite happy for the rural areas of Hong Kong where grandma did not love and care for her uncle in the past. Not only did their employment problem suddenly be solved, but they also became new citizens directly, making life much more convenient.
Of course, they also have a large amount of funds in their hands, which has brought them a certain amount of capital to start their own businesses in the new city. In this case, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation also provides them with the convenience of starting a business.
If they really don't want to do business, the Hong Kong Housing Company is willing to sell them some houses at a relatively low price, but they cannot use loans, only their own funds.
This is because rural residents who have just arrived in the city may not adapt to the sudden change in status. People with huge amounts of money and weak self-control will inevitably pick up bad habits.
If they end up with nothing, if they don't work hard, it will cause great hidden dangers to the new city, so we might as well spend all their money and let them buy some properties.
In this way, even if they are not adapted to work in the city, they can still survive well relying only on these purchased industries, and they will not go astray and bring security risks to the local area.
Zhao Yi was even more satisfied when he heard such meticulous and thoughtful arrangements made by the Hong Kong Housing Company. This was not something he ordered, but the employees of the Hong Kong Housing Company thought of it themselves.
"When will the subway from the urban area to Xincheng be built?" Zhao Yi asked.
Of course he hopes that when the construction of the new city is completed, the subway from the city center to the new city will be built and operational, so that the new city will be more popular from the beginning.
Moreover, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation is not just building a new town. Once this new town is completed and operational, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation will immediately plan the construction of the next new town.
The new town construction plan is until the per capita living area of Hong Kong residents reaches about 40 square meters. At that time, the housing problem will be basically saturated and there will be no need to build new cities.
“The subway from the city center to the new city has been fully connected. This is also thanks to the large shield machine provided by Tianshu Machinery Company, which made the tunnel excavation work very smooth.
The construction and decoration work of the subway station is also being carried out now. When the new city welcomes visitors, all the work will definitely be completed. Lin Hexia said.
Due to the positioning service of the Beidou satellite positioning system, the Hong Kong MTR Corporation excavates the tunnel in sections at both ends, and the speed will of course be much faster.
After the Hong Kong MTR Corporation has completed the construction and opening of these subway lines, it will begin to develop the land on the subway lines. Only by effectively developing these lands can the Hong Kong MTR Corporation continue to make profits. (End of chapter)
