Chapter 471: 459 Fat Peng: Holy Crab, I've Been Targeted! The Inherently Evil Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!

On ATV News, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, the man most revered by the citizens, spoke eloquently before the camera:

"Within the next 10 years, we will raise sufficient funds to build 85,000 low-rent housing units annually, meeting the residential needs of low-income families and those facing housing difficulties."

"We will formulate reasonable rules for shareholding and set flexible investment ranges to accommodate the investment capacity of different citizens. At the same time, we promise a clear mechanism for the distribution of equity returns to stimulate public participation."

If one were to say that the democracy of someone like Fat Peng might slightly attract a minority of citizens above the middle class who enjoy following political paths, other citizens are not very interested.

But the low-cost housing mentioned by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is something that absolutely attracts all 4 million-plus ordinary citizens of Hong Kong.

The mass base of the two sides is simply not on the same order of magnitude.

Host Wen Wen Huixin: "This plan is a livelihood improvement project that Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu has been brewing for half a year. Currently, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is preparing to announce it and solicit public opinion."

Soliciting opinions?

"I agree!"

"I support it!"

"I want low-cost housing; I support Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's plan!"

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is truly a good person, thinking of us."

Citizens across Hong Kong watching ATV News—in canteens, tea restaurants, companies, and thousands of households—most of them support Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan.

Of course, those citizens who already own homes are somewhat unhappy.

Their property values have been rising and rising, and after Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan comes out, these prices certainly won't be able to rise anymore.

Host Wen Wen Huixin: "If citizens wish to know the details of the plan, please stay tuned at 8:00 tonight. We will conduct a detailed exclusive interview with Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu; citizens are welcome to watch."

The news, ends...

Following the broadcast of this news on ATV,

it directly triggered a massive earthquake throughout the Hong Kong business circle, especially in the real estate industry!

Cheung Kong Group.

Boss Li's office.

Boss Li was sitting on a leather sofa, drinking tea to refresh himself. He was getting old, and with constant setbacks recently, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Sitting next to him was Li Da. After returning from Thailand, he felt that Li Er was beginning to threaten his position, so he hurried to get close to his old man, running to Boss Li's place every day.

At this moment, the TV was playing ATV News. When the news about Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing plan broke, the teacup in Boss Li's hand stopped abruptly at his mouth, and his expression changed.

"How can this be!"

With a "slap," he set the teacup heavily on the coffee table, splashing some tea out.

Beside him, the eldest son was shocked: "Once this low-cost housing is built, property prices will definitely fall. The houses we have on hand that haven't sold yet, along with our land, will be stuck in our hands!"

"Pu Amu~~~"

"Is Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu crazy? He still holds 10+% of the shares in Cheung Kong Group!"

Boss Li stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes full of anxiety and anger.

On the other side,

New World Group.

Tycoon Zheng was worrying over a desk full of documents.

At this moment, a secretary ran in.

"Boss, something has happened!"

The secretary quickly reported the news content. Tycoon Zheng's originally weary eyes instantly became sharp, and his complexion changed.

"What is Ah Zu doing? This is smashing everyone's rice bowl!"

As everyone knows, the four major families each have their own industries, just like Boss Zheng's gold shop, Chow Tai Fook.

But!

Real estate is still their most profitable business.

And this behavior of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is truly pulling the firewood from under the cauldron!

On the other side,

Boss Li Ji was in a restaurant private room at the Shangri-La Hotel in Central, clinking glasses with a group of business partners and discussing business.

The restaurant's TV was hanging in a conspicuous position, playing ATV News.

When Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing plan was reported, Boss Li Ji's expression froze instantly.

He put down his chopsticks, his face gloomy.

The surrounding business partners also looked at the TV one after another.

"Bang~~~~"

"Outrageous!"

Boss Li Ji slammed his chopsticks heavily onto the tabletop.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan had the greatest impact on Boss Li Ji because he had an entire super-large residential complex in City One, Sha Tin, that hadn't been sold yet.

If history followed its course, he could have sold this complex for 40 billion in '96!

Now that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan was truly being implemented, he would lose at least 10 billion!

Heartache so intense one cannot breathe. jpg

The originally lively dining atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

In another villa.

Boss Guo from Malaysia and his family were enjoying a leisurely afternoon in their spacious garden.

Upon hearing Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan, Boss Guo frowned.

"It seems we need to reconsider our real estate investments in Hong Kong."

"Once this plan is implemented, the property market will surely be in chaos, and our returns will likely be heavily discounted."

Young Master Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang from Singapore was playing mahjong with a few friends in a high-end private club.

The club's TV was playing ATV News. When Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan was broadcast, the mahjong tile in Young Master Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang's hand stopped in mid-air.

"Bang~~~~"

Young Master Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang was so angry his face twisted; he threw the mahjong tile directly at the TV, smashing a huge crack into the screen's glass.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"If this low-cost housing plan succeeds, property prices will collapse, and our layout in Hong Kong will be completely ruined!"

If one were to say Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's plan had the biggest impact on Boss Li, then it had the second-biggest impact on the Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang family of Singapore.

Because this Singaporean Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang family loves to "hoard land," and the land they hoarded across Hong Kong was more than that of the other four major families, earning them the title of "Super Big Friend" in Hong Kong!

"I actually thought I could be friends with you, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!"

"Very good!"

"Now we are enemies!"

"Who the hell do you think you are, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!"

The high-spirited Young Master Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang, for the first time, held a grudge against someone.

Over at the Government House,

the TV was also playing ATV News.

Secretary Kane watched it and sneered: "Heh... what kind of plan is this from Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu? Does he really think this kind of plan can gain our approval? Naive!"

Just as he was laughing, he saw Fat Peng and Secretary Lena both looking tense.

Fat Peng: "You're wrong. This plan of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's might just be aimed at me."

Lena: "Nine times out of ten."

Fat Peng: "Let's wait and see for now, but don't stop my political reform plan."

Tsuen Wan, still that 8-person family of Fat Suet...

After the older brother finished watching the news, he pulled his younger brother to the dim staircase.

Younger brother: "What's wrong?"

Older brother: "I could tell at a glance that your son is not your son!"

Younger brother: "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Older brother: "It's Zhang Zhang Luowen's, isn't it? I could tell at a glance."

Younger brother panicked: "You're crazy!"

Older brother: "I called him last night, and he told me everything."

The younger brother was stunned, then finally panicked, grabbing his older brother's arm: "Brother, you aren't planning on telling my wife, are you? Don't tell her, okay? Brother! Stop joking around!"

Not a single mistake, not a single word, all being watched!

Older brother: "I won't tell her, because my son is also Zhang Zhang Luowen's."

Younger brother: "Huh?"

Older brother: "Back then, your sister-in-law and I tried hard but couldn't conceive. The doctor said I had issues with my sperm, and I really needed a house, so I quickly found Zhang Zhang Luowen to help out. During this time, I saw that your son and my son look very much alike; one look and you know it was handled by Zhang Zhang Luowen, because we simply can't do it."

Younger brother said angrily: "That bastard Zhang Zhang Luowen, how could he do this!"

Older brother sighed: "Because he's loyal enough. I called him yesterday. He said he felt very guilty after helping me once, but when it came to you begging him, he felt there was no reason to help one and not the other. Who would have thought he was so capable, hitting the mark both times..."

Younger brother was both angry and helpless: "It's no use blaming him now. Do you want to blow this up and let both our wives know?"

Older brother: "Don't worry, I won't tell your wife. I only told you today."

Younger brother: "What do we do from now on?"

Older brother: "What else can we do? Life has to go on. Everything is expensive—the buildings are expensive, the houses are expensive, and the expenses for the kids are expensive too..."

Upon hearing this, the younger brother painfully clutched his head.

That's right, if it weren't for this house causing such a stir.

If it weren't for Dad saying whoever had a son first would get the house, they brothers wouldn't have reached this point.

Painful!

Feeling a bit desperate!

The root of everything lies in the oppression that is everywhere in life: the exorbitant costs of all kinds, wages not enough to pay the bills, and those terrifying housing prices.

It forces people alive into ghosts.

Older brother: "Just now, I heard Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan mention the low-cost housing plan... perhaps this is our only chance to get a house."

Younger brother: "Right! This might be our chance!"

There are countless citizens filled with the bitterness and pain of not having a house.

There are even many citizens living in subdivided flats and cage homes; the narrow and cramped living environment is seriously affecting their dignity in life.

And Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing plan,

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing plan is like a glimmer of light in their darkness. It allows those struggling in adversity to see a glimmer of the future, letting them believe that life will eventually change and happiness is no longer out of reach.

Soon,

It was 20:00 in the evening...

At this moment, the whole of British British British Xianggang seemed to have been pressed with a pause button. In the living rooms of countless families, in the tea restaurants on every street, in the break areas of busy companies, and even in the convenience stores on every corner, people put down what they were doing and skillfully tuned their televisions to the Asia Television channel.

The viewership rating for Asia Television soared toward 90% (Chinese channel).

All citizens were concerned about Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's low-cost housing plan.

Soon,

The exclusive interview program began.

On stage were two people: one was the host Wen Wen Huixin, and the other was Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

Wen Wen Huixin: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, hello, thank you very much... I heard that you... could you first tell us about..."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "It is an honor to be here to share with everyone... Housing prices in British British British Xianggang have been high for a long time, and the pressure on ordinary people to buy homes is enormous..."

Wen Wen Huixin: "It sounds very meaningful, but funding is the key to the project. What kind of fundraising plan do you have in this regard?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "I think the Central Plaza fund plan from last time is a very good reference... My plan is..."

All citizens of British British British Xianggang watched the television intently, listening to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's explanation of the proposal.

The more they listened, the better it sounded.

Moreover, it could be like the Five-Star Supermarket, raising funds from the citizens of Xiangdao to buy shares. On one hand, it could build the Five-Star Supermarket, and on the other, citizens could buy shares to receive dividend returns... No matter how you look at it, it feels worthwhile.

However, some citizens also realized the problems within it.

"Rely on the government? That bunch of bastards at the Housing Department even said they would build public housing estates for 10 years, but ended up stopping halfway..."

"That's right, the British British British British Xianggang government is unreliable. By the time it happens, the money we invest will all be embezzled by them!"

"We don't trust them at all."

Everyone knows exactly what the British British British British Xianggang government is like.

No matter how much they talk or how well they brag, the citizens don't trust them.

On the contrary, the Five-Star Group...

"I think it would be better if the Five-Star Group took the lead in doing this."

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan has always been thinking of us and has never treated us unfairly..."

"I believe in Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan."

"That's right, it's better for the Five-Star Group to do this."

"I support it!"

Citizens have a scale in their hearts regarding what has been done.

On the television, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu continued to explain the details of the plan unhurriedly, his tone sincere and his gaze firm.

Many citizens, as they listened, couldn't help but look forward to it. If the Five-Star Group really took the lead, this low-cost housing plan might truly be able to bring visible and tangible benefits to the citizens of Xiangdao, just like the Five-Star Supermarket, and completely change the lives they lead, which are bound by high housing prices.

On the television, the news was still broadcasting.

Wen Wen Huixin interviewed Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, your proposal is truly too shocking, and it will cause dissatisfaction among many real estate developers. I'm afraid this proposal will be very difficult to pass."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was full of confidence: "No, I think this proposal will definitely pass."

Wen Wen Huixin: "May I ask, where does your confidence come from, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu faced the camera and smiled lightly: "As everyone knows, I have recently been attending various meetings and events with the Viceroy often, and we have also had exchanges."

"The Viceroy has always emphasized that 'people's livelihood' is his top priority since coming to Xiangdao."

"And this low-cost housing is a huge and important matter of people's livelihood!"

"Therefore, I am certain that the Viceroy will definitely agree!"

And all the ordinary citizens of British British British Xianggang had their eyes light up at this moment: "That's right! The Viceroy will definitely agree!"

If he doesn't agree,

Then he has no nerve to say he cares about us!

Viceroy's Residence,

Fatty Peng: "Pfft~~~~~~~"

Staring with wide eyes at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu on the television.

Holy crab, I've been set up!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, who is evil by nature!
