Chapter 782

With the plan determined, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt the world was clear and bright.

Picked up the phone.

"Chicken, use the intelligence system, send people to investigate this period of time..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu told Chicken the goals one by one.

Chicken: "Okay, Brother Zu!"

After hanging up, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu called Brother Da Tou again: "Brother Da Tou, let the Five Star Property branches investigate the areas they belong to, what abandoned buildings there are, list them out, and also investigate the owners clearly. Three days!"

Brother Da Tou: "No problem, Brother Zu!"

After hanging up the phone, Ah Xing asked: "Brother Zu, found a way?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Found it."

Ah Xing was surprised: "Then wouldn't it be that worshipping Huang Daxian wasn't wrong?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "Huang Daxian is very good, but I am more willing to believe — go to the masses."

If it weren't for him saying he wanted to go out for a trip and look around, he probably wouldn't have seen a house like the Chinese Men's Apartment, and he wouldn't have had a flash of inspiration.

Usually his routes were in prosperous areas, where would there be old rotten buildings.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu thought for a moment and called the Huaxin Agency again.

Regarding land supply, he needed to communicate with the above and see the opinions of the above.

Just when Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu started to act,

the Soros team and various real estate developers were still continuing, speculate! speculate! speculate! speculate!

Constantly bombarding the nerves of Hong Kong citizens through the media, creating a sense of urgency for them to buy houses.

The Sea View Peninsula residential area,

Located in the west of Ap Lei Chau, Southern District, Hong Kong Island, it is a residential area jointly developed by Cheung Kong Group and Boss Zheng, with a total of 34 buildings, divided into 4 phases completed from 1992 to 96.

Originally, this project should have been developed by Cheung Kong Group itself, but after being challenged by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu several times, it was injured, funds were short, the construction period was delayed, and finally Boss Zheng was pulled in to cooperate in developing phases 2/3/4.

The 25-28, 32-33A blocks of phase 4 are named Yuting Garden, which is a newly opened property.

Today,

Models Ling Zu'er and Ling Shanshan, two sisters, came here to look at houses.

They were both influenced by the house-buying craze reported by the media and were extremely anxious.

Just arrived at the entrance of the residential area, the agent Xiao Li greeted them with enthusiasm.

"Is it Miss Ling? Just call me Xiao Li~~~"

"Miss Ling, you are more beautiful than the cover~~~"

As soon as agent Xiao Li received the two, his mouth started talking non-stop.

"This Sea View Peninsula of ours is a good place that is hard to find in all of Hong Kong. Look, the greening in the residential area is done so well, and the air is fresh beyond words."

"And most of the buildings are built along the coast. Like you two, if you buy a house, you can see the invincible sea view when you open the window; that field of vision is amazing!"

Walking into the residential area, Xiao Li continued to introduce:

"This residential area was built in 4 phases, like the Yuting Garden in the latest phase 4, which is the boutique of boutiques... It opened the day before yesterday, and now more than 70% have been sold; it is estimated that it will all be sold out in these two days!"

"Miss Ling, you have also seen that housing prices have been rising recently; if you want to buy, you must be as soon as possible."

Introduced all the way,

Finally arrived at the sales department.

At this time, the sales department was already crowded with people, bustling with noise and excitement.

Citizens and neighbors, some were discussing enthusiastically with floor plans, and some were asking sales staff various questions.

In the signing area on the side, a gentleman was signing.

The sales staff shouted loudly: "Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully subscribing to one set, another one sold!"

Although Ling Zu'er felt that they might be shills, she couldn't help but be influenced.

Xiao Li kept persuading: "Miss Ling, the first-hand houses in this Sea View Peninsula are sold one less."

"Also, don't look at the first-hand side being hot; the second-hand side is also very hot."

"Recently, the owners of the residential area are constantly raising prices."

"Just say a second-hand transaction yesterday, a customer hesitated for a day, and when he came back the next day, the seller directly asked for 500,000 more for the same type of house. You two have such good eyes, don't miss this good opportunity, settle it quickly, and you will definitely be secretly happy in the future."

"Buying now is earning!"

Ling Shanshan pulled her sister's corner and whispered: "Sister, I think this house is really good, why don't we..."

Ling Zu'er looked at the house, her eyes showing hesitation and heartbeat, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

Finally,

"Let me consider it."

Reason kept her calm, and she didn't rush in.

The reaction of the Ling Zu'er sisters was just one of the sentient beings of Hong Kong house buyers, and the same scenes happened all over Hong Kong.

In a flash, three days passed.

Just when the whole of Hong Kong was hot for buying houses,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was finally ready, and then notified all Hong Kong media to hold a press conference in the Legislative Council Building.

June 7th,

Legislative Council Building, press conference hall.

The hall had already been crowded.

Reporters from major media in Hong Kong arrived early, with long guns and short cannons ready, and the scene was very enthusiastic.

Reporters exchanged low voices.

"This time Mr. Guan actually chose to hold a press conference in the Legislative Council Building..."

"Didn't the notice say it? It's about the recent hot real estate problem."

"This property market recently is simply crazy; developers and those speculators are desperately speculating on houses, and housing prices are rising one after another, and I don't know when it will end."

"Yeah, I can't afford a house."

"Hope Mr. Guan can crack down on these speculators."

Just then, the lights on the stage suddenly became bright, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stepped onto the stage steadily under the attention of everyone.

"Dear media friends, good morning everyone..."

The audience instantly quieted down,

All reporters focused their eyes on him, and recording pens, cameras, and other equipment were aimed at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu one after another.

"Today, I stand here as the Chairman of the Legislative Council, as a citizen of Hong Kong, and hold a press conference..."

"Since May, in terms of real estate, it has been very lively."

"Various news emerge one after another, and these news without exception are pointing to————speculating on houses!"

"Some forces, for their own selfish interests, are linked together, using unscrupulous means to manipulate public opinion and inflate housing prices!"

"Today, I stand here to expose and criticize this bad behavior that ignores the livelihood of the masses!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's voice was loud, and his tone was full of indignation.

"First of all, 'South China Morning Post', look at what you have done! 'Hong Kong's land resources are exhausted: New housing supply will plummet by 50% in the next 10 years!', where did this so-called 50% come from? Huaxin Agency? Or somewhere else?"

"Yesterday, I had a phone call with the leaders of Huaxin Agency, and they have clearly replied that land supply will not decrease. So 'South China Morning Post' used this kind of sensational headline, matched with false data, trying to create panic and create momentum for the soaring housing prices. What is your intention?"

"I hope the Information Services Department can attach importance to this problem and punish the 'South China Morning Post' in accordance with laws and regulations such as the 'Publication Management Ordinance' and the 'Management Measures for News Reporter Cards'."

"At the same time, I call on Hong Kong citizens to resolutely boycott this kind of newspaper that inflates housing prices and has no corporate conscience!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was filled with righteous indignation.

He certainly wouldn't just criticize the "South China Morning Post" verbally, so he directly called on citizens to boycott.

If you don't care about the interests of citizens, then I call on citizens to boycott, which is logical.

Under the stage,

many reporters looked at a certain area, which was exactly the position of the "South China Morning Post" reporter.

"South China Morning Post" reporter: "............"

Feeling the eyes around him, at this moment he wished he could find a crack in the ground to drill into!

And,

If citizens really boycott, wouldn't the sales of "South China Morning Post" collapse?

"And the 'Asian Wall Street Journal' article 'After '97, a large number of mainland tycoons will flood into Hong Kong to buy houses, and luxury home prices may double within the year!', which is baseless and talks nonsense, just to make citizens fall into anxiety and blindly follow the trend to buy houses."

"And other newspapers, I won't name them one by one..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu scanned the audience,

"Are you worthy of the citizens of Hong Kong? Are you worthy of this land where you are rooted?"

"Besides newspapers,"

"I want to name and criticize the banking side here!"

"HSBC, Standard Chartered, and those so-called asset management companies, you are colluding even more! Using professional terms to package false data, deceiving the public, misleading the market, and your hearts are punishable!"

"In addition, what is even more excessive is that banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered have launched so-called 'ultra-low down payment plans' to induce citizens to take out high-leverage loans to buy houses. But they have forgotten the drawbacks of doing so. Once the real estate market fluctuates, Hong Kong's financial system will face a devastating disaster!"

"The behavior of these banks and asset management companies has seriously disrupted financial order. Here, I, as the Chairman of the Legislative Council, demand that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission can quickly intervene in the investigation, fine them if they should be fined, and revoke their licenses if they should be revoked, and never be lenient!"

Many reporters were excited one after another.

What "South China Morning Post", they are all small fry!

HSBC, Standard Chartered, this is enough strength!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu has been "cultivating his character" for the past year and hasn't made any big moves, and this time he finally came!

Hong Kong is going to be lively!

HSBC used to be too much of a behemoth, and reporters might not dare to report too much. Now HSBC is the goods that Brother Zu kneads round and flattens; as long as they stand on Brother Zu's side, HSBC counts for nothing.

At this time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu added another sentence: "In addition, for the unscrupulous behavior of banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered, I hope citizens can recognize their true faces, protest, or boycott these banks."

How can government punishment alone be enough?

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu just wants to give them a lesson.

Boycott, protest, let you lose your popular foundation.

"Besides banks, there is another company..."

"That is the Soros Fund company."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's voice echoed in the hall.

"According to the information I have mastered, the whole house-speculation plan was promoted by them, uniting all parties, buying so-called economic experts, colluding with real estate enterprises, colluding with banks, and even constantly creating false transactions, artificially creating the illusion of soaring housing prices."

"In just one month, Hong Kong's housing prices have risen by 13%. If they continue to speculate like this, can ordinary citizens still afford houses?"

Reporters under the stage whispered and discussed.

Many young reporters were even more crazy to like it in their hearts, because they hadn't bought a house yet, and if housing prices were high, how could they buy it?

"In addition..."

"I, as the Chairman of the Legislative Council, name and criticize several real estate companies, including New World Development, Zhaoye Real Estate, Kerry Properties, Wharf Real Estate, Cheung Kong Holdings..."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's gaze was cold, and he named seven or eight real estate developers in a row.

"These real estate developers, I have enough evidence to prove that they united together, hoarded properties and refused to sell, pushing up housing prices... although commercially and legally, they are not inappropriate."

"But combined with the linkage cooperation of banks, Soros Fund company, and media, they clearly have the suspicion of participating in malicious manipulation of the real estate market, creating a panic atmosphere, and seeking huge profits from it!"

"This behavior has seriously disrupted the normal order of Hong Kong's real estate market, damaged the vital interests of the vast number of citizens, and is a public trampling on social fairness and justice in Hong Kong!"

The voice was resonant and powerful.

These real estate developers wanted to seek huge profits, thinking that if they made a phone call to notify, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wouldn't record it in his little notebook.

Simply naive!

Expose them, condemn them, let citizens boycott them.

As a businessman, if your reputation is damaged, can they still boast about the corporate culture of "seeking welfare for citizens' housing problems" like before? When citizens buy their houses and products, they probably have to think twice.

Soon it was the interview session,

TVB reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Guan, do you think future housing prices will continue to rise?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "With the rise of the economy, rising housing prices are inevitable, but! I hope this housing price can be controlled at a certain level."

"Ming Pao" reporter: "But currently housing is in short supply, a large number of citizens have house-buying needs, and this time there is even 'panic house-buying' to 'get on the bus as soon as possible.' Does Mr. Guan have any strategies to solve this situation?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was serious and solemn: "This point, originally it should have been the second topic of this press conference, but since it was interviewed here, I will announce my next plan to all media first."

What?

Is there a second topic?

All reporters were refreshed.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu scanned the audience, his face solemn:

"Currently, I have prepared 3 plans..."

"First..."

"Next, I will convene a meeting of the heads of the Development Bureau, the Lands Department, and the Housing Bureau as the Chairman of the Legislative Council to discuss increasing the construction plan for low-rent housing and cheap housing."

"Secondly..."

"I have already talked to the leaders of Huaxin Agency, and they have clearly stated that after 1997, they will increase land approval for low-rent housing and cheap housing and promote the 'citizens have houses to live in' plan."

All reporters nodded.

This can indeed alleviate the anxiety of citizens.

However, it is not enough!

Distant water cannot quench near thirst!

"However, this is not enough!"

"These low-rent houses and cheap houses, because the construction cycle is too long, it will take more than a year at the fastest to wait for the first batch to be built, and even 10 years will not solve the fundamental problems of citizens. So I will promote another plan."

All reporters were refreshed again.

"This plan is called————Old Building Renovation Plan!"
