To put it mildly, the Hong Kong government is, to some extent, a hoarder.
For example, the rent of public housing will be increased by 21%. Fortunately, the monthly rent of public housing is only a few dozen yuan. After this price increase, it is an additional 10.8 yuan.
It has been more than 20 years since the end of the Second World War. It happens that more and more young people want to get married. If they can't afford more than 100000 wedding houses, public housing has become the most cost-effective choice, and the rent increase can't stop this rigid demand.
There must be complaints. Gao Xian has to calculate the cost of doing things. He doesn't want to get involved in too much and get involved in unnecessary cause and effect.
Therefore, Gao Xian pondered and said, "in order to prepare for the promotion at the end of the year, happy group purchased a large number of materials such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea before the outbreak of the fourth Middle East war."
"The current market situation is no longer suitable for the original promotion plan, but happy group is still willing to respond to the call of Du Xian to ensure supply and stabilize prices in aspects necessary for people's daily life such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea."
After listening to this, governor Mai Lihao and Shi Yueqiang certainly understood that Gao Xian meant that his ability to regulate the market was limited to areas such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.
After exchanging colors, governor Mai Lihao and Shi Yueqiang thought that Gao Xian was so calm!
You know, Gao Xian has just led the reconstruction of the order of Xiangjiang energy market, making the opponents obedient and winning praise from the media and the public. The Hong Kong government led by Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao is also very satisfied. It can be said that it is at a time of high spirits and guidance.
For a young man, he must have forgotten himself and dared to do bigger things, but Gao Xian had a good sense of propriety.
Of course, Gao Xian's statement of social responsibility is enough to satisfy governor MacLehose.
After affirming Gao Xian's contribution, Hong Kong Governor Mai Lihao turned to say: "how long will the global oil crisis last? It's still unknown. How should Xiangjiang maintain its original driving force for its next economic development?"
Since he mentioned this topic, Gao Xian helped Shao Yifu's proposal to suspend the collection of entertainment tax, "the 'Troika' that drives the growth of chicken fart includes investment, consumption and export."
"The Zhengfu under the leadership of the governor general is actively promoting major investments related to people's livelihood, such as public housing construction and subway, which has laid the most solid foundation for the economic development of Xiangjiang."
"Because of the impact of the global oil crisis, the prospect of export is not clear for the time being. Therefore, the need to stimulate consumption is reflected."
"I just heard from film practitioners that cinemas are beginning to feel the pressure of entertainment tax."
"Duxian, do you think it's OK to temporarily stop levying entertainment tax and observe its effect on stimulating consumption."
"David's proposal is very constructive and will be discussed at the next Executive Council meeting. By the way, David, do you have any other ideas?" said Hong Kong Governor MacLehose happily
"Of course there is." Gao Xian, who muttered in his heart, smiled and said, "governor Xian, I'm naturally active. I've really walked through many places in recent years and found that many places have set up special industrial parks for economic development. For example, xingjiapo, which covers an area of only more than 600 square kilometers, and Xiangjiang, which is far larger than xingjiapo, still doesn't have a formal industrial estate."
"Duxian, Xiangjiang now has a population of 4 million and rich labor resources. It can be called the demographic dividend for the further development of Xiangjiang's economy, which is enough to support those industrial projects suitable for the local situation of Xiangjiang. It's time to set up a special industrial estate to guide it."
When it comes to the industrial estate to be occupied, governor Mai Lihao's attitude is obviously cautious. "David's idea is related to the long-term development of Xiangjiang's economy, and I will consider it carefully."
Gao Xian smiled and nodded. The matter of industrial estate is not urgent in Xiangjiang. Now it's a side drum in advance.
……
With the "Shangfang sword" given by governor Mai Lihao, Gao Xian let Jindong supermarket, Huikang and other retail outlets give full play to the advantages of material reserves to stabilize the daily needs of Xiangjiang citizens. The prices of commodities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are stable and earn both fame and wealth.
As for the hoarders who have been blocked from making money, if you have any resentment, go to the Hong Kong government. Happy group is also "acting according to orders"!
Taking this opportunity, Jindong supermarket has incorporated many small supermarkets and become franchise stores.
Xiangjiang has developed commerce. Once the supermarket model is verified to be feasible, it will naturally be copied in large numbers. However, in terms of scale and financial resources, only Heji's top 100 supermarkets opened this year can be compared with Jindong supermarket and Huikang supermarket.
However, PARKnSHOP supermarket has caught up with the current special market situation and is destined to suffer as a newcomer.
Xiangjiang market has many characteristics, just like the "inertia ratings" of TV programs. Once the first mover advantage is obtained in many fields, it will remain basically unchanged.
In the old script, global retail giants such as Wal Mart did not enter Xiangjiang, but ultimately they could not compete with their local counterparts such as Huikang and PARKnSHOP, so they had to leave sadly.
Therefore, Jindong supermarket and Huikang currently spend more time on cultivating customer recognition and loyalty, and will definitely dominate the benefit distribution of this retail cake in Xiangjiang in the future.
With the deepening of the details of happy group, Shengli beer, a listed company with a long history in Xiangjiang, has willingly married into a new "rich family".
By the way, Xiangjiang stock market is still dying, and the Hang Seng Index falls below 200 points, which is by no means sensational.
As for the development of the surviving securities companies, they mainly act as agents for trading in external securities markets such as the London stock market, but they can also survive.
However, the first global oil crisis inevitably impacted the global stock market, which can basically be described as a small stock disaster.
But in Gao Xian's eyes, there are still opportunities, such as a new car plate.
Before the outbreak of the first global oil crisis, people's consumption habits of cars were greatly beautiful, and the fuel consumption was not a decisive factor to be paid attention to at all, so Japanese cars were at a disadvantage in the competition between American cars and German cars.
However, the global oil crisis has reshaped the world, and the automobile industry has been deeply and long-term affected.
In short, the fuel saving and lightness of Japanese cars suddenly became the most dazzling advantage and began to rise in the American market.
Although Xiangjiang's stock market is not working, Xiangjiang's gold market is booming and ranks among the top three in the world.
The gold control, which was originally scheduled to be officially abolished in 1974, was completely abolished by the Hong Kong government more than a month in advance. The long prepared Xiangjiang gold market has become the local trading market of the London gold market with almost a turn around.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Fuzhao, who founded the Far East exchange a few years ago and quickly surpassed the Xiangjiang stock exchange in trading volume and became the leader of the industry, is the most representative figure in the Xiangjiang financial circle; But now Feng Shui turns. Today's era belongs to Hu Hanhui, chairman of the gold and silver exchange.
At a meeting with Hu Hanhui, Gao Xian told him that in order to publicize and promote the Xiangjiang gold market around the world, there will be some foreign visits in 1974. He hoped that he, the director of the Xiangjiang gold and silver exchange, would participate.
This activity is really duty bound, and Gao Xian happily agreed.
At the dawn of 1974, Gao Xian also received a personal honor - the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang.
Gao Xian was included in the list of the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang this year. During the selection process, the number of votes was so high that even he felt a little embarrassed.
This phenomenon, of course, is not due to the black box operation of ticket swiping, but to the growing popularity and popularity of Gaoxian.
In fact, the attention of the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang society is unprecedented. The reason is that Gao Xian's name appears on the selection list.
Gao Xian's high vote in the election just reflects the improvement of his business Kingdom's recognition in Xiangjiang after the establishment of happy group and Gaoyi.
Holding Gao Xian of the top ten outstanding youth certificates of Xiangjiang with a smile, he cooperated with the reporter to take photos, and then answered the media questions about his feelings.
What do you think of this question? It's really tacky.
After all kinds of thanks, Gao Xian ended with a straightforward sentence, "I just hope that my performance can be worthy of the recognition of the justices of the peace, members of the Executive Council of the government and the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang society."
With these words, Gao Xian, who struggled from Tang Lou, maintained a grounded public image in a continuous line, and once again won praise from the people of Xiangjiang.
In the heat of the day, the Heavenly Master did not cooperate at all. The climate observation of Damao mountain, the highest peak of Xiangjiang River, reached minus one degree. This year's winter in Xiangjiang River is really a little cold.
In this regard, Gao Xian can't help thinking that environmental pollution and greenhouse effect have not reached a certain level?
Thinking a little about Lu Renbao, Gao Xian went to Taohuayuan estate to meet Lu Renbao, Qin Sumei, and Zhao Di, who had already taken the winter vacation, to the high house at No. 10 Pule road.
Because he changed to an ordinary business car, Gao Xian didn't attract other people's attention when he arrived at Taohuayuan estate, and then he could enjoy the life of the people at the bottom of the Xiangjiang River again.
For example, when Gao Xian pulled down the window a little, a scolding voice came from the corridor upstairs next to him, "you flying girl, what's your salary? You bought such expensive clothes."
It turned out that the mother was teaching her daughter that she had only received a salary of a few hundred yuan, so she bought a dress priced at 99 yuan in the window. Can't she wear a dress priced at 7 yuan at the roadside stall?
Taohuayuan estate and other human forms spread to Gao Xian and made him sigh: "this is the real life."
Soon, with the help of Zhou Chengchang, Qin Sumei, Lu Renbao and Zhao Di got on the bus with their bags on their backs.
Zhaodi jumped and said, "brother Gao Xian, I saw on TV that you got the certificate of the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang. How handsome!"
Gao Xian said with a smile, "which TV station did you see it on?"
Zhao Di stressed very seriously: "we have seen both TV stations."
Just last year, in December 1973, Lidi Yingsheng, which had been using old cables to transmit program signals, finally completed the switching, changed to free wireless signal transmission programs, and officially changed its name to Lidi TV.
In Gao Xian's view, the action of Li's TV is too late and slow. Of course, there are reasons why the replacement of TV station license needs a process, but the main reason is that Li's TV concept is old and lags behind the development of the industry.
In the "old script", BTV can firmly occupy the first place in ratings with obvious advantages by taking the lead in using wireless signal to transmit TV programs. Now with the cooperation with Gaoxian, it can step on beautiful TV.
Gao Xian said, "which of the two TV stations do you watch more?"
Zhao Di replied, "of course it's wireless TV. My mother likes watching Cantonese Opera TV dramas, brother Bao likes watching martial arts dramas, and I like watching cartoons."
Gao Xian smiled. "TV can really enrich life."
Speaking of this, Gao Xian casually said to Qin Sumei, "aunt Qin, how do you feel about the price level recently?"
Qin Sumei, who was very thoughtful, replied in a clear and orderly way: "although the price of fire water has increased a little, it is very stable. It is sent downstairs for eight yuan a barrel. My family just bought a barrel yesterday."
"Other things are not easy to sum up. Whether you can buy goods with a price within the psychological range can only depend on attention and luck."
Zhao Di interrupted: "yesterday, brother Bao was not willing to eat his own chicken legs. He gave them to me. Let me study hard, go to college and strive to become one of the top ten outstanding young people in Xiangjiang."
Qin Sumei fondly touched Zhaodi's smooth hair, "you silly child, your brother let her sister, it's not right. She always talks about something."
Looking at this ordinary family, your excellency Gao Xian, JP, who is busy with "major events" all day, I feel very warm in my heart.
……
During this period, happy group, which focuses on industry, has undertaken a large number of missions in Xiangjiang. Therefore, Gao Xian's energy is mainly on the side of happy group.
With a series of measures in place, Gaoxian's focus has been put back on Gaoyi.
On that day, he went to the Chinese line where Gaoyi's office was located and found that there were particularly many people moving in and out.
As it happened, Gao Xianzheng looked at it. Ma Yongda came out and explained knowingly: "the leisure building of Zhidi has been built and is being rented. Facing the gold lettered signboard of the first skyscraper in Xiangjiang and the tallest building in Asia, various companies flocked, and my father rented a new office there."
Gao Xian nodded suddenly, "it's better to move out and make room for Gao Yi."
Ma Yongda joked: "it seems that Gaoyi is not lucky to enjoy the first-class writing room in Xiangjiang."
Gao Xian slapped Ma Yongda, "you're not nonsense. For the sake of the milk company, Jardine and I are so stiff that I won't go even if they bring a big sedan."
