Chapter 830 The Future Development of Hong Kong
There are two keys to further development of Hong Kong.
One is further economic development, becoming a real international metropolis, with Hong Kong as the core, forming a metropolitan area, which is the original concept of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area".
The other is further political development, which requires replacing Singapore and becoming the political and economic center of Nanyang, so that the wealthy people from Nanyang countries will habitually go to Hong Kong, live and buy property in Hong Kong, and Nanyang countries will habitually hold meetings in Hong Kong.
In the original time and space, there are many factors that led to the rapid development of Singapore.
A large part of the British capital withdrawing from Hong Kong flowed to Singapore, bringing a large amount of funds to Singapore. At the same time, the British also planned to build Singapore into one of the most important fortresses of Britain in Singapore.
In addition, Singapore's own governance is commendable, and it is very good at dealing with all parties. Gradually, Singapore has become the political and economic center of Nanyang, and also the center of East-West exchanges.
Liu Tao and Ho Ying-Tong talked about the development of Hong Kong.
There are now 15 universities in Hong Kong, 10 of which are famous schools.
Universities in Hong Kong are not limited to recruiting students in Hong Kong, but face the whole of China, the whole of Nanyang, and the whole world.
Every year, tens of thousands of mainland students go to universities in Hong Kong to receive higher education, and Hong Kong is also a very good choice for mainland college students to further their studies.
There is a collision of Eastern and Western cultures here.
There are various problems, but there are also things worth praising.
Problems are not terrible, but no problems are really terrible!
Only when there are problems can problems be solved.
Society has never been static, but has developed dynamically.
Problems arise, problems are solved, and they continue to develop in a spiral between the two.
The helicopter flew a circle over various land reclamation projects and then landed on an open space by the sea.
The two got off the helicopter.
This is a fishing village, far away from the bustling city, and there are only dozens of households on the entire island.
But this is a place where wealthy people in Hong Kong like to come, because there are freshly landed seafood and the simplest cooking.
The two ordered a few dishes and sat down at a table, blowing the sea breeze.
Regarding the development of Hong Kong, the two communicate every year and exchange their ideas.
Liu Tao admired and trusted Huo Yingdong.
The two were allies and had cooperated for more than ten years. This cooperation was based on "win-win cooperation".
At the beginning, Jinlong computers, cars, motorcycles, etc. were exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and then to the world with Huo Yingdong's power.
Huo Yingdong can be said to be one of Liu Tao's most important fulcrums in Hong Kong.
In this cooperation, Panshan Group grew rapidly, and Huo Yingdong's career also grew rapidly.
In particular, the low-price bottom-fishing in 1982 made them reap a big harvest, and the dividends are still being enjoyed.
It was also at that time that Panshan Group was able to control Hong Kong's electricity, oil, natural gas, milk, transportation, water, communications, communications, ports and other basic livelihoods, and also had a large amount of land, real estate, banks, and shipping.
It was also at that time that Panshan Group, as a savior, had various companies come to Hong Kong to build factories, directly and powerfully recasting Hong Kong's economic structure.
Huo Yingdong also took over several shopping malls, office buildings, etc. in prosperous areas. His status and influence were greatly improved at that time, which truly established the first person in Hong Kong's business world. The Huo family was also the first wealthy family in Hong Kong.
Although his career was greatly improved, Huo Yingdong did not cling to his small piece of land in Hong Kong, but actively invested in the north, investing heavily in the mainland, and driving a large number of Hong Kong and Chinese businessmen to invest in the north.
Moreover, Huo Yingdong also increased charitable donations to education, medical care, sports and other aspects in the mainland.
Every year, a considerable number of mainland students who come to Hong Kong have received scholarships established by Huo Yingdong.
As for sports, Huo Yingdong's support is very strong.
Every year, Olympic gold medalists, silver medalists, and bronze medalists will receive awards from the foundation established by Huo Yingdong. This part of the bonus is much more than the bonus given by the country.
Moreover, Huo Yingdong organized Olympic champions to travel to Hong Kong every time, allowing Hong Kong citizens to witness the style of Olympic athletes.
This year, the Chinese delegation achieved excellent results in the Barcelona Olympics. With the hard work of the Olympic athletes, they won 25 golds, 22 silvers and 16 bronzes, ranking fourth in the gold medal list, second only to the Soviet Union, the United States and Germany.
Chinese sports have performed better year by year in international events, and the Olympic Games have been better than the previous one. Now everyone is confident that the medal list of the next Olympic Games will surpass Germany.
The two of them couldn't help but talk about the topic of bidding for the Olympics.
The year before last, Beijing City formally proposed to the Chinese Olympic Committee to host the Olympic Games. Later, at the plenary meeting of the Chinese Olympic Committee, Beijing City's application was unanimously agreed, and Beijing City's application was notified to the International Olympic Committee and relevant international sports organizations. In the same year, the Olympic Bid Committee was officially established.
Originally, Milan and Tashkent also applied to host the Olympic Games, but now these two cities have given up.
Manchester, Sydney, Berlin and Istanbul are all determined to win this bid for the Olympics.
Germany is very determined to host the Olympics in Berlin, because Germany wants to use the Olympics as an opportunity to achieve the peaceful reunification of East and West Germany. For Germany, the reunification of East and West Germany can only be peaceful, and there is no way to unify by force, because the military strength of East and West Germany is similar, and to some extent, the military strength of East Germany is stronger than that of West Germany.
Now Germany has seen hope for the peaceful reunification of East and West Germany, and it is just a miracle away, and this opportunity is perfect for Berlin to host the Olympics.
Manchester, England, failed in its bid for the Olympics last time, and this time it has made a comeback with more experience. Britain wants to restore the confidence of its people by hosting the Olympics, and it also serves as a booster for economic development.
Other countries are determined to host the Olympics, and China is the same.
In the more than ten years since the reform and opening up, China has made rapid progress in all aspects, its comprehensive national strength has been greatly improved, and its international status and influence have been improved. China also hopes to let the world see a different China through hosting the Olympic Games, and let China show its new style to the world, so that the world can better understand China and let China better integrate into the world.
Liu Tao naturally supports the bid for the Olympic Games, and even does everything possible to sponsor the Olympic Games with a large sum of money to make the Olympic Games a success and create a historical record.
