Chapter 345

~15 min read 2,830 words

Actually, these editors all have some headlines in their minds:

For example:

"Mr. Director Guan shouts Yameidie, too many people!"

"Full, full!"

"Please don't come anymore, can't hold it, can't hold it!"

But...

If you dare to use this headline for reporting, just wait to be beaten, and you will be forced to go to Mingxin Hospital for treatment, and you can only leave after grabbing 1,000 Hong Kong dollars of medicine, simply don't be "too intimate."

Life is important!

The editor-in-chief looked at this group of waste, a group of cowards, and couldn't help but be disappointed.

Forget it, forget it, he didn't dare either!

Laughing and crying~~~

……

The same scene happened in all major newspapers in Hong Kong.

They all wanted to get a better headline, but were afraid of being beaten by Director Guan Zu!

……

A new day,

October 21st,

Director Guan Zu and Sister Ruan Mei go downstairs and greet the neighbors.

"Uncle Ben~~" Director Guan Zu gloats, "I heard you went to the supermarket, how was it? Were you squeezed?"

Uncle Ben didn't answer, and Aunt Ben next to him had already started to scold with disgust: "Don't mention it, told him not to join in the fun, but he didn't believe it, even lost his leather shoes..."

Uncle Ben: "............"

Director Guan Zu came to the newsstand and took a look at all the newspapers:

"Director Guan Zu: Sorry, the supermarket is too small, I couldn't let everyone have fun!" — "Sing Tao Daily"

"Five Star Supermarket opens shockingly, Boss Li's supermarket empire welcomes the darkest doomsday!" — "Oriental Daily"

"Welcoming the new retail king, there is no ticket for Boss Li in the new era!" — "Ming Pao"

"......"

Director Guan Zu nods with satisfaction.

He was afraid that some newspapers would be flashy and dirty his innocence. Now it seems that these newspapers are still very righteous... right!

(All newspapers in Hong Kong peck at rice: Yes, yes, yes!!)

Director Guan Zu and Sister Ruan Mei get in the car, Ah Xing drives, Xiao Fu is the bodyguard.

Straight to the Five Star Supermarket.

Arriving at Shun Tak Centre, after yesterday's surging crowd, citizens didn't dare to join in the fun today, and the supermarket had more than 5,000 customers, not full.

Coming to the conference room,

Tan Tan Meili, with dark circles under her eyes, reported some data of the supermarket yesterday to Director Guan Zu:

"On the opening day, the supermarket welcomed about 194,000 customers..."

"The activity of registering members during the opening period we launched, a total of 150,000 new members joined..."

"Through on-site questionnaires and online evaluations, customer satisfaction is as high as 92%... also recorded some valuable improvement suggestions... such as not enough baking, too few juices..."

"In terms of operation, some problems were encountered, such as the pressure of restocking caused by the rapid sale of some goods, and the long queuing time for checkout during peak hours..."

Director Guan Zu nods repeatedly.

10:00,

After listening to the report, Director Guan Zu leaves the supermarket and takes Sister Ruan Mei to Sha Tin.

It was his first time going to Sha Tin; the previous land investigation was done by Gao Jin taking Ah Ting.

Because Sha Tin is not the sphere of influence of Hung Hing and Five Star, before Director Guan Zu arrived, Five Star Property had already dispatched more than 300 little brothers to arrange it in advance.

And beside Director Guan Zu, in addition to bringing the Emperor Soldier Xiao Fu, he also brought other Emperor Soldiers Ah Bu, Li Situ Jie, Gao Gang, as well as Saint Soldiers Li Changjiang, Da Tou, and others...

Plus Gao Jin, the team is gorgeous.

Ah Ting, as the deputy general manager and direct handler, has been busy in Sha Tin District, finding temporary addresses for the company, handling various things...

He was preparing to welcome Director Guan Zu and others there.

……

……

Sha Tin District.

Soon,

Director Guan Zu and others took a car from Wong Tai Sin, passed through the Mount Shizi Tunnel, and entered the southwest corner of Sha Tin.

The land acquired by Five Star Property is in the southwest corner.

Starting in 1970, Hong Kong Island decided to develop a new town in Sha Tin.

Thus, the land reclamation project on both sides of Sha Tin Sea began, and the Shing Mun River was extended into an artificial river channel 7 kilometers long and 200 meters wide, developing towards the mountains on both sides with the Shing Mun River as the central axis, presenting a narrow and long strip extending from southwest to northeast, which is the Sha Tin area that became famous later.

At this time, the population of Sha Tin District was only 200,000, and it would reach 600,000 in the 21st century.

"Let's go, let's go and see..."

Director Guan Zu, Gao Jin, and others got on a bus that Ah Ting temporarily got, and went all the way along the canal.

At this time in Sha Tin District, looking at it, it was still dim and yellow, with a large number of construction sites under construction.

As the bus moved forward, Ah Ting introduced:

"This is the canal in Sha Tin..."

"The source of the water is in the mountains such as Mount Shizi. In the past, this water was very clean, so the original name of this place was 'Yuan Li', describing the clear river water at the mouth of the Shing Mun River."

"The population of Sha Tin District is mainly 'locals' who came here during the Ming and Qing dynasties, built along the water, and then Hakka people moved in later. Most of them were on the mountains. Now there are more Hakka people in the whole Sha Tin District, occupying about 70%."

Soon,

The bus drove to the riverside...

And then...

A foul smell hit the face.

I saw black river water permeating here...

On the riverbank, a large number of dead fish corpses could be vaguely seen "stranded" on the shore, and the fishy smell was quite pungent.

Director Guan Zu's first reaction was:

"Damn it... so terrifying, can people live here?"

"This investment is going to lose money!"

Of course, Director Guan Zu knows that this investment will definitely not lose money. If it loses, the tycoon Li Ji of the Four Big Families would not be called the Four Big Families. Because tycoon Li has a huge property here, 52 buildings, 30-something floors, named Sha Tin City One.

In the car, many people felt a bit unable to bear it.

The sour and foul smell is very overwhelming!

Ah Ting said awkwardly: "Boss, I have also studied it. The land we bought is absolutely no problem, absolutely a big sale!"

"After all, our land is upstream, not polluted at all..."

Ah Ting explained: "I asked the Environmental Protection Department and experts from several universities, these sewage mainly come from industrial sewage, poultry and livestock waste, village sewage, water treatment plant sludge, and illegal connection of sewage channels, etc., causing water pollution... and a large amount of organic matter decomposes in the river, causing the oxygen content in the water to decrease, coupled with the river's own insufficient self-purification ability, causing the Shing Mun River to become a black and smelly dead river now..."

Soon, the bus continued to drive forward.

Director Guan Zu saw Sha Tin City One.

Ah Ting introduced: "This group of buildings, in 1977, was led by Henderson Land, New World (Boss Zheng), Sun Hung Kai (Boss Guo), and Cheung Kong Holdings (Boss Li), the four big giants, formed a joint company, together invested and built. It is the largest residential project in Sha Tin District, from 1982, until it was completed in 1988."

Then the conversation turned...

"However, Boss Li, Boss Guo, and Boss Zheng's parts have all been sold, only Boss Li Ji hasn't sold yet."

Everyone was stunned.

"Haven't sold yet?"

"Right, not a single house sold."

Everyone was very curious.

Director Guan Zu knew about this. This piece of land is a very important business in tycoon Li Ji's life. In the first phase of the building, because of the turbulent situation (negotiations between the two countries), many Hong Kong Island people chose to immigrate and chose to sell their properties in Hong Kong Island, which made the real estate market in Hong Kong Island plummet at that time.

And the Four Big Families, then waited, until the late 80s, the Hong Kong Island property market warmed up, and the other three big families started to sell, and a large number of citizens poured in, but tycoon Li Ji was still unwilling to sell Sha Tin City One.

He waited until 1996, which was a peak of the Hong Kong Island property market. At that time, it was before the Asian financial crisis.

It was only then that tycoon Li Ji started to sell the houses in his hands, and they were quickly swept away by the market.

Also because of this transaction, just this one, tycoon Li Ji earned 40 billion.

A battle to become a god.

However, tycoon Li Ji also regretted it very much. Why didn't he take this piece of land himself at the beginning, but united with the other three real estate developers?

If he did it alone, he could have retired at once.

More than 100 billion!

However, the citizens who got on this property at that time were miserable, just like Director Guan Zu's previous life, because the 97 financial crisis came, and housing prices plummeted!

The bus walked all the way forward,

Ah Ting pointed to a building on the opposite riverbank.

"That is the racecourse."

!.

(The piece of building opposite is Ma On Shan. Boss Li and tycoon Li Ji fought each other and had a grudge.)

The Hong Kong Jockey Club has two racecourses. The earliest was the Happy Valley in Wan Chai, which is the place where the charity performance was held last time, built and used in 1931.

And the venue here in Sha Tin was built and opened in 1978, which can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators.

Bus,

Went around this Shing Mun canal for a week,

Director Guan Zu looked at the sewage-filled river channel and felt a bit nauseous.

"This river must be cleaned up."

Director Guan Zu: "By the way, is there no sewage plant here?"

Ah Ting: "Yes,"

"Next to the racecourse, near the estuary, there is a Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Plant. The first phase of the entire sewage treatment facility, including secondary treatment, was fully operational after completion in 1984, and the second phase was also completed one after another in 1986."

"Now it is already in operation."

Director Guan Zu and others were surprised.

There is a sewage treatment plant, and this sewage is still discharged here?

Gao Jin said coldly: "Is this Environmental Protection Department eating rice? They don't care about this?"

Gao Jin, now his fate has changed, no longer a big villain!

Following Director Guan Zu, he also became charitable.

Now he has become a legislative councilor, with a heart for the people!

Director Guan Zu said: "This situation is estimated to be a game between factories and the Environmental Protection Department, using the relocation of factories as an excuse to pressure the government."

Whether it is abroad or at home, Director Guan Zu has seen too much, nothing more than wanting the economy or wanting the environment.

Gao Jin: "We can use the Legislative Council to pressure these factories in the name of the Legislative Council."

Director Guan Zu nods: "Right!"

Director Guan Zu looked at the pitch-black river channel and said to Ah Ting: "You contact the New Territories government, I want to take on a project — 'River Channel Sewage Quality Improvement Project'."

Ah Ting: "Ah? Brother Zu, this is the government's business, we don't need to take it on ourselves, and it doesn't make much money."

Director Guan Zu shakes his head: "If I don't see it, of course I can ignore it. Since I see it, naturally I have to deal with it."

For Director Guan Zu, this is a great merit, and the system reward will definitely not be small.

Moreover, Director Guan Zu very much hopes to brush out a "Halo".

As for this sewage cleaning project, is there any confidence?

Of course there is.

In the previous life, there was success. In May 2001, the "Shing Mun River Water Quality Improvement Project" was officially launched by the Civil Engineering Department. However, due to the long-term accumulation of pollutants in the riverbed, it requires long-term excavation and renovation of the river channel to solve the pollution accumulated for many years, and it is also necessary to avoid secondary pollution caused by river channel renovation.

After repeated governance for several years...

Finally, the river water in Sha Tin started to become clean.

Finally, it became a regular venue for the Dragon Boat Race in Hong Kong Island.

Director Guan Zu said earnestly, full of righteousness: "Our Five Star Group, in addition to making money, also needs to do some things within our power to improve the lives of citizens."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ting thought of Brother Zu's various deeds in the past.

Couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.

Himself, still too selfish, only thinking about making money.

Full of copper smell!

Brother Zu is here, the blue sky of Sha Tin District is here!

Ah Ting stood at attention seriously: "Yes, Brother Zu, I understand!"

Director Guan Zu: "Ah Ting, you help me contact the leaders of the New Territories government... I want to talk to them about the cooperation of sewage treatment."

Ah Ting nods: "Okay, Brother Zu."

Just as the bus was about to return,

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Ah Ting's mobile phone rang.

Ah Dong's voice came: "Brother Ting, it's not good, our people were beaten and injured by that group of people in the sand field."

Ah Ting's brow frowned: "Didn't you say we are from Hung Hing?"

Ah Dong: "Said it, he said their boss is Wo Shing Wo's uncle Fei Hua, not afraid of us at all."

Ah Ting: "??????"

No way? Big brother! When did Wo Shing Wo become so arrogant? Fei Hua? Sorry, I only recognize Uncle Tang! Others have no qualifications!

Ah Ting: "You take people back first, I'm still accompanying Brother Zu... Are there any little brothers injured? Give them medicine money according to the regulations."

Ah Dong: "Okay."

Hanging up the phone.

Ah Ting said to Director Guan Zu embarrassedly: "Brother Zu, sorry. But I will handle it."

Director Guan Zu waves his hand: "You tell me the matter."

Ah Ting: "Recently we are preparing to start work, this Sha Tin is full of construction sites, and then I recruited some people to form a construction engineering team. Next, we are going to get sand to build houses... Now this sand field is dominated by a sand field."

"The boss of this sand field is a person named Cai Gou."

"Because the British Hong Kong government announced the establishment of a new development zone here, it attracted many triads to occupy here, Tung Sing, Wo Shing Wo, Chung Shun Yee, Sun Yee On... etc. all have it, it can be said to be mixed."

Director Guan Zu pondered for a moment: "Fei Hua generally speaking, will not have a grudge with us, it is estimated that it should be the little brothers below who don't know the measure."

"Ah Wah, make a call to Uncle Tang, tell the story once, let him handle it. If he doesn't handle it, I will handle him."

Uncle Tang expresses: Family members, who understands, sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky!

Ah Wah nods: "Okay."

Director Guan Zu said to Ah Ting: "There is one more point, this Sha Tin, the biggest project is 'Sha Tin City One', tycoon Li Ji has been mixed here for so long, and this Cai Gou, it is estimated that he also has contact with the people of tycoon Li Ji's company, so he is so arrogant. But don't worry about it, Wo Shing Wo will solve him internally."

Ah Ting: "Yes!"

Director Guan Zu thought about it, and said to Da Tou: "Da Tou, in the name of Five Star Property, call all the triad leaders in Sha Tin District and sit together for a meeting. From now on, Five Star Property will be in charge of Sha Tin! Whoever is not convinced, write it down and clean it up slowly."

Sha Tin, this kind of place, has not developed yet, it is impossible for big forces to occupy it, they are all small forces mixed.

Small Kami, still need me to do it?
