Chapter 456 Return to Hong Kong
In April 1984, 100,000 Indian troops surrounded the Golden Temple, and then government troops launched a fierce attack on the Golden Temple and more than 40 other temples.
This is humiliating them Sikhs!
Now, they Sikhs want revenge, realize their dreams, and establish their own Khalistan state!
Golden Temple, the holy place of the Sikhs!
At this time, countless police officers were patrolling around the Golden Temple.
"Tu tu tu tu~~~" Suddenly, a dozen people with big turbans on their heads and big beards revealed the guns in their hands.
"Da da da~~~" Gunfire broke out, and countless policemen screamed.
Sikhs also fired from other directions.
The Golden Temple, as a holy place for the Sikhs, is naturally the first to be taken over, rather than being reduced to a place controlled by the Indian police.
In order to control the Golden Temple in one fell swoop, a thousand troops were prepared.
The Golden Temple, the holiest worship center of Sikhism, is hailed by Sikhs as the ‘jewel in the holy crown of Sikhism’!
Here is the first shot of establishing an independent Sikh nation, and this shot has been fired.
In less than half an hour, the police were either killed, injured, or kneeling on the ground and surrendered!
Gunshots broke out across Punjab, and the gunshots of the uprising had officially begun!
Every Sikh has fanaticism in his eyes!
The telegram of the establishment of the 'Kalistan State' quickly spread throughout the world, focusing everyone's attention on the South Asian subcontinent again!
When Liu Tao saw the news, he couldn't help but gasped.
In just half a month, the entire Khalistani State took control of Punjab, which is more than 50,000 square kilometers of land!
"Now we have something good to watch!" Liu Tao murmured to himself in a low voice.
He did not expect that his unintentional act would trigger such a terrifying chain reaction.
This butterfly effect is simply terrifying!
Liu Tao shook his head slightly. It was too far away. He could only transport some weapons and ammunition through Pakistan, but there was nothing else he could do.
As the Spring Festival approaches, Liu Tao goes to various companies to inspect them.
In order to celebrate the New Year, the New Year celebration activities have begun at this time.
Multiple departments jointly organize New Year celebrations, including watching movies, plays, concerts, dance performances, etc.
There are so many companies, and it is impossible for Liu Tao to go to every company. He will only choose some companies to visit.
The first stop was naturally the Panshan Machinery Factory!
As the root of Panshan Group, although Panshan Machinery Factory is now under the jurisdiction of Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, it is very special, and its status and influence can be said to be huge.
Liu Tao personally visits Panshan Machinery Company every year!
The water of the Panshan River flows and the water appears clear.
Because of his emphasis on the environment, industrial sewage and domestic sewage are first transported to the sewage plant through pipelines. After being treated by the sewage plant, they are discharged into the Panshan River.
There are now 200,000 people under the jurisdiction of Panshan Machinery Company, including employees and their families!
The grain, vegetables, chickens, ducks, and pigs grown in the surrounding towns and villages are all sent to Panshan Machinery Company.
Liu Tao did not hold a meeting, so he took people to walk among the workers, chatting with each other, to understand the real situation of Panshan Machinery Company.
The entire area is like an independent society, with factories, shopping malls, residential buildings, schools, hospitals, etc., all available and very complete.
Liu Tao also went to the air-raid shelter to take a look and inspect the air-raid shelter!
Air raid shelters not only serve as air defense measures at critical times, but also store supplies, materials, and production lines.
Although it is almost never used, you must have what you should have, just in case, it is the bottom line thinking!
Not only went to Panshan Machinery Company, Liu Tao also went to other companies to take a look.
And the cadres who were discovered by him and dealt with will no longer have to spend this year.
February 5th, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Liu Tao and his people came to Xiangjiang, and their first stop was Yuen Long.
Yuen Long District is located in the northwest of the New Territories of Hong Kong. It consists of Ha Tsun Township (including Hung Shui Kiu, Pak Nai, Lau Fau Shan, etc.), Ping Shan Township (including the western part of Yuen Long City Centre, Wang Chau, Tin Shui Wai, Tsim Bei Tsui, etc.), Shiba It consists of townships (including the eastern part of Yuen Long city center, Ao Tau, Nam Sang Wai and other places), Kam Tin Township, Pat Heung (including Shek Kong and other places) and San Tin Township (including Lok Ma Chau, Mai Po and other places). Yuen Long District stretches from Chau Tau in the east, adjacent to Ma Tso Lung in North District, to Hung Shui Kiu in the south, and connected with Lam Tei in Tuen Mun District. It covers an area of 138.56 square kilometers, which is three times that of Kowloon and 1.8 times that of Hong Kong Island. It is the third largest administrative region in Hong Kong, after Lantau Island and Tai Po.
This is an alluvial plain and the only plain in Xiangjiang.
The northern part of Yuen Long and Pengcheng are only separated by the Pengcheng River!
Without Liu Tao, this little butterfly, almost all of Xiangjiang's industry would have moved north to the mainland in the mid-to-late 1980s.
The direct impact of the hollowing out of industry on Hong Kong is the rapid reduction of job opportunities at the bottom. Hundreds of thousands of workers who previously worked in garment factories, toy factories, and electronic watch factories lost their jobs and fell back into extreme poverty.
Although Xiangjiang has been seeking transformation since then, vigorously developing tertiary industries such as tourism services. However, none of these can completely replace the supporting role of industry in Hong Kong society, especially since the property market in Hong Kong has ushered in another golden decade since 1985.
Although the prosperity of the real estate industry has also created many new jobs, the soaring housing prices have quickly pushed up the cost of living in Hong Kong, directly causing the Hong Kong economy to enter a round of rapid inflation.
After the reform and opening up of the mainland, Hong Kong's industry still inevitably began to move north. But because of Liu Tao, while old factories were constantly closing, new factories were constantly opening.
The bosses of those clothing factories, toy factories, and electronic watch factories went to the mainland to invest and build factories, and in the factories they vacated, a group of new electronics factories quickly took over.
In just a few years, Hong Kong's industrial structure has almost quickly completed the replacement.
From the original export of low-profit, low-tech light industrial products such as clothing and toys, to the export of computers, cars, motorcycles, air conditioners, refrigerators, color TVs, game consoles, DVDs, portable music players and other high-tech electronic products, high-tech home appliances, and high-tech value-added products.
In the port terminal area, container terminals are also gradually increasing.
Looking at the prosperous scene in front of us, with heavy traffic and bright lights, it is absolutely unimaginable that in 1982, this place was so chaotic and the economy was at a low point.
It can be said that by now, Hong Kong's economy has recovered to the high point of 1982 and is even more prosperous.
The most obvious manifestation of this is that the area and price of land agreed to by the Hong Kong government last year are far higher than the previous level, setting a new record.
The rising land prices are a double-edged sword. For the Hong Kong government, selling land can get a lot of money. It is simply making money lying down. This money comes too easily, and it is more profitable than any industry. The Hong Kong government has money and can also invest in public services such as education, medical care, and transportation.
But the downside is that housing prices will only go up and not down. After all, developers are not fools, let alone philanthropists.
Real estate developers buy land at high prices, so they will naturally sell houses at high prices.
The wool comes from the sheep after all.
These real estate developers are smarter than anyone else.
