Chapter 674
After the 4 young people left,
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu instructed Wu Wu Lianqian: "Distribute these problems they just mentioned to Five Star Property and have them conduct a questionnaire survey throughout Hong Kong."
"By the way, have ATV send reporters to interview on the street regarding these issues."
"Broadcast the news in the evening."
Wu Wu Lianqian: "Okay."
After leaving, she quickly went to arrange it.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu returned to his seat, took out a piece of paper, and started writing and drawing.
The problem is in front of him,
so how to solve it?
In the afternoon,
Five Star Property began to take action.
Tunmen, a group of Five Star Property uniformed staff had dispersed to various intersections in Tunmen.
They specifically picked young people to stop, some were white-collar workers, some were students, and some looked like they had nothing to do:
"Hey, handsome! We are from Five Star Property, how about taking two minutes to fill out a questionnaire?!"
When young people heard it was Five Star Property, they basically stopped and cooperated to fill out the questionnaire.
"Do you live with your parents?"
"Yeah."
"Do you like living with your parents?"
"Don't like it."
"Is the waiter's attitude really that bad?"
"Yes."
"If you want to play outside, where do you play?"
"Five Star supermarket, or shopping mall... but because there are no seats, it's actually very tiring..."
"Do you want to rent a house outside?"
"Want to, but no money, too expensive."
There were also ATV reporters doing street interviews,
The reporter stopped a young couple: "Are you living with your parents?"
"Yeah."
"Do you argue with your parents because of housing problems?"
The girl immediately grabbed the microphone: "More than just arguing! Every day they think I'm annoying, every day they scold me for being useless... I want to move out, but a single room in a tenement building costs three or four thousand, and most of my salary goes to rent, so it's better to listen to my mom nagging at home!"
Reporter: "Where do you go to hang out outside?"
Interview after interview,
Evening,
Ah Qiang received a call from his parents and was reluctant to go home.
As soon as he entered the door, he felt the atmosphere was different.
His parents, who usually liked to argue, were laughing and talking today, and the house was tidied up cleanly.
The dishes on the table were set.
The oppressive atmosphere that originally existed in the home seemed to have disappeared all at once.
"Son is back."
"Come, come, come, eat, eat~~~"
"Son, did anything happen when you went to see Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan today?"
"Yeah, son, tell us about it."
Ah Qiang had no choice but to say everything one by one.
"How is Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan?"
"He's quite good, very kind to us..."
While chatting,
ATV news was broadcast.
Studio camera, host Wen Wen Huixin wearing a small suit, expression serious:
"Good evening, citizens of Hong Kong!"
"..."
After reporting a few pieces of news,
"Today, a very special face-to-face interview was conducted in the office of Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan of the Five Star Group."
"The cause was a joint letter from 5 ordinary young people delivered to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan."
"In this letter, four young people boldly poured out their difficulties and confusion in living in Hong Kong. After receiving this letter, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan was very touched and took the initiative to invite the four young people to the Five Star Group for an interview to jointly discuss livelihood issues in urban development!"
Ah Qiang's family was suddenly energized.
His parents were excited.
Their son is on TV!
And Ah Qiang was: "............"
A bit socially dead.
At this time, the TV camera switched scenes: Five Star Group building exterior, camera quickly zoomed into the conference room.
Wen Wen Huixin: "This morning, four young people had a closed-door meeting with Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu at the Five Star Group headquarters in Central..."
The screen cut to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office, coffee table, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and the four young people's friendly interview...
Wen Wen Huixin: "During the interview, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan patiently and earnestly listened to the young people talk about problems such as crowded housing, lack of public space, and difficulties in career development. Some young people even bluntly said 'there is no place for us in Hong Kong'..."
Camera screen: Ah Qiang's face flushed red, stuttering about the trouble of the bunk bed and washing machine noise at home.
At home,
the TV light shone on the faces of Ah Qiang's parents.
"My son... is on TV?"
Suddenly, they jumped up screaming and ran out of the house quickly.
Shouting!
"Everyone look, he's on TV! My son has made something of himself!"
Ah Qiang: "............"
Shame level exploded.
His father also quickly picked up the landline phone and dialed the numbers of several relatives and friends.
"Quickly turn on ATV news, my son Ah Qiang is on TV!"
"Ah? Really?"
"Really?"
Soon the neighbors started to get lively.
"Really, Qiangzai is on TV."
"Wow, Qiangzai is sharp, talking to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan."
"He has a future~~~"
Amidst the praises, his mother, who usually frowned, had her skin smoothed out at this moment, glowing, as if she were several years younger.
Mom wiped her tears and put braised pork into Ah Qiang's bowl: "Eat more! Son, you're great!"
Dad didn't have that drunken, scolding look while drinking; instead, he was smiling, drinking and sipping, comfortable and happy.
Ah Qiang bit his chopsticks, looking at his helpless appearance on TV, and his parents' happy appearance, and for the first time felt that this crowded home didn't seem so oppressive.
On TV, Wen Wen Huixin: "Next, Five Star Property and ATV reporters also came to various districts in Hong Kong to conduct street interviews to understand the needs of young people..."
The screen played interview after interview with young people.
One realistic problem after another was placed in front of thousands of households in Hong Kong.
Many young people in Hong Kong felt the same way after watching this news.
Because houses in Hong Kong are too expensive, rent is too expensive, houses are small, 100 square meters is considered a luxury house, euphemistically called "thousand-foot luxury house," and the general area is 40-60 square meters, which is the norm.
This has led to the extreme compression of the living space of young people and parents.
Exacerbating the conflict of contradictions.
"This interview spoke to my heart!"
"I also want to move out, but I can't afford the rent at all."
Many young people watched TV while resonating and feeling sad.
Wen Wen Huixin looked at the camera with a serious expression and firm eyes, saying:
"Dear viewers, today we witnessed the candid exchange between Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan of the Five Star Group and four young people, and also heard the voices of countless young people. The housing problem and the cramped living space deeply affect the quality of life and future development of Hong Kong's youth."
"The youth group is the future driving force of Hong Kong's development. We cannot let high rents and small houses become stumbling blocks on their dream-chasing path."
"Here, we call on more enterprises, social organizations, and government departments to pay attention to the youth and work together to let young people in Hong Kong have a home that truly belongs to them and a harbor where they can struggle with peace of mind."
"... Thanks for watching, see you next time."
Government House.
The living room was still brightly lit.
Governor Patten put down his whiskey glass, his fingertips tapping heavily on the table.
"It's Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu again!"
"He just came back, and he's already causing this kind of trouble..."
He looked at the close-up of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiling and listening to the young people's speeches on TV, feeling a bit indignant.
During the time Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was not in Hong Kong, his mood was much better.
As a result, now that Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu is here, he's coming to cause trouble.
"Last time the low-cost housing project stole the limelight, this time he must want to use livelihood issues to hollow out the government..."
"Hmph, I've already figured out the logic of all his actions!"
"Next, he will definitely do something big to buy people's hearts."
Patten sneered.
The Governor's wife couldn't help but look disdainful after hearing this.
"So what if you've figured it out? Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu does what he wants, can you stop him?"
"You trash who only knows how to talk!"
A new day.
The morning sun slanted into Causeway Bay,
the street was already full of traffic,
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu finished breakfast and went downstairs.
Met Ding Hu who was chewing bread.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Hiya~~ Single dog eating alone again? Still haven't found a wife?"
Ding Hu: "............"
The fragrant pineapple bun in his hand suddenly didn't smell good anymore.
Brother Zu, you are such a good person, why is your mouth sometimes like it's been dipped in poison?
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu came to the newsstand,
"Morning Brother Zu~~"
"Long time no see Brother Zu~~"
"Ah Zu, buying newspapers again~~"
"Morning everyone~~"
"Uncle Chen, any big news in the newspaper today?"
"Haha~~ Speaking of big news, who has bigger news than you, Brother Zu?"
"Hahaha~~"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's eyes swept over the front pages of various newspapers.
*Sing Tao Daily* wrote in big red headlines: "Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu Bows to Listen! Who Can Understand the 'Housing Dilemma' of Hong Kong Youth"
*Ming Pao* titled it "From Youth to Five Star Group: A Dialogue That Changes the City," accompanied by a photo of him interviewing the young people.
And other newspapers:
"Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu Face-to-Face with 4 Young People, Discussing the Status Quo of Urban Youth"
"Street Interviews Reveal Youth Hidden Pain, Can Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's Action Break the Situation?"
On the street, office workers held coffee, walking quickly while reading the newspaper and discussing; diners at roadside breakfast stalls also gathered together, pointing at the news in the newspaper and discussing hotly.
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is still very concerned about the citizens."
"They young people want to leave their parents and move out, we parents also want to, seeing them like rice worms every day, I get angry."
"Hope Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan can think of a way."
Central Plaza,
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office.
When Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu arrived at the office, Gao Qiu of the Charity Foundation, Su Su Jianqiu of Real Estate, and Brother Da Tou of Property came.
Sofa, tea,
the four met to have a meeting.
"I attach great importance to these difficulties of young people, and hope to come up with a solution."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu directly set the tone.
If this can be changed, so that young people in Hong Kong have less of this trouble, and shape their kind of radiant mental outlook, the future of Hong Kong will definitely have much fewer cockroaches (Cantonese: gaat6zaat6).
Precisely because it is of great significance, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu attaches great importance to it.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu set the tone, and the four began to discuss.
1 hour later,
basically a plan framework came out.
Although a bit rough, it can be considered the first step.
"Take this plan back to your three branches, hold a collective meeting, and discuss the details."
The three: "Yes!"
Afternoon, 3 o'clock.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu received the plan details summarized by the three branches.
Then ATV reporters came and interviewed Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu in the office.
Five Star Speed!
7 o'clock in the evening,
ATV evening news was officially broadcast.
Thousands of households, various restaurants, as usual, were playing the ATV channel.
