When it comes to Hong Kong, many people think of the residence problem of Hong Kong people, because of historical reasons, the residence problem in Hong Kong is now very troublesome. Whether it is the bottom or the middle class, it is facing no small problem. Hong Kong's economy is developed, and it is understandable that the house is expensive, but it is not good.
Many houses in Hong Kong are super high-rise, which is very inconvenient to enter and exit, and many houses have not built balconies in order to control the total price. Hong Kong's per capita living area is also lagging behind that of the mainland. More than 90 square meters in Hong Kong is a mansion, which is unimaginable in the mainland.
At the same time, there are many people in the bottom of Hong Kong who do not have houses to live in. In fact, since 1997, in order to solve the housing problem, Hong Kong has proposed the 80,000 5 plan, but in the end many plans have not been solved. One of the biggest problems is the sabotage of vested interests.
If the problem of living in Hong Kong is solved and it is no longer in short supply, then the value of the land they hoard will be greatly reduced, and their future profit margins will also be affected.
This time Hong Kong pushed forward the Northern New Metropolitan Area Plan, which can be said to be a super 80,000 5 plan, and Hong Kong plans to spend 20 years to develop the northern New Territories and Shenzhen. As many people know, Hong Kong is not really less and more people. There are not many people in Hong Kong, with a population of only 7 million, which is much less than Shenzhen. Only 30% of Hong Kong's land has been developed, and the remaining 70% has not been developed.
Hong Kong real estate billionaire Hu Yingxiang has complained countless times, using some environmental protection to restrict land development, which is completely unscientific, putting people in cages and then letting animals run all over the world. To put it bluntly, environmental protection is also a weapon for some people.
When completed, the new northern metropolitan area is expected to be inhabited by 2.5 million people, which will greatly alleviate the pressure on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. In the past, Hong Kong basically concentrated on the development of these two areas, concentrating 7 million people here, but in fact, there are still a large number of land in the New Territories that have not been developed.
In fact, it is not far from Hong Kong's New Territories to Kowloon, if Hong Kong can build a subway, the development potential of the new northern metropolitan area in the future is still very much.
The so-called flies do not stare at seamless eggs. After the launch of the Northern New Metropolitan Area Plan, two major real estate developers, Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau Kee, have already taken action. Li Ka-shing's Cheung Shing Group is about to launch the Flood Bridge #LYOS project, which can only be regarded as a small test, with a total of 341 houses.
Lee Shau Kee is about to launch a community with a total of 1576 houses here. Obviously, the two richest people have smelled the potential of the development of the whole region. In fact, normal investment, we should still welcome, but the most feared thing is that the final project still let them mess up, just like the Cyberport, Chinese Medicine Port and other projects in that year.
Cyberport project, which attracted global attention, was originally intended to be built into Hong Kong's Silicon Valley, but as a result, Li Ka-shing's son Li Zekai became a real estate project, and Li Ka-shing initially called for investment of 5 billion yuan, but later it was not solved. Coupled with the pressure of all sides, liang Jinsong finally stepped down, Mr. Dong also resigned in advance, and then all reforms stopped.
If you understand the movie "Cold War", you basically understand Hong Kong. In recent years, Li Ka-shing's reputation in the mainland has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the key is because of the problem of hoarding land to make money. In fact, Li Ka-shing's charity is indeed worthy of praise, but compared to the money he hoards, it is not worth mentioning. It is okay to make money from normal real estate development, but if you hoard land, it will not work, because hoarding land affects the development of the city and pushes up the price of the house.
Li Ka-shing certainly understands these problems, but he continues to use the rules to maximize his own interests. Like Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee is a Hong Kong real estate developer and a big philanthropist, but Lee Shau Kee is also a master of scheming. Lee Shau Kee is the property developer with the most hoarded farmland in Hong Kong.
What Lee Shau Kee bought so much farmland for was certainly not for farming, but for hoarding land. In fact, the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong are hoarding farmland, except for Lee Shau Kee, li Ka-shing is the same. Lee Shau Kee also often donated land to Hong Kong, asking Hong Kong to take the land he donated to build hospitals and schools. This may seem like a good thing, but Hong Kong has repeatedly refused Lee Shau Kee's land donation.
Because every time Lee Shau Kee donated the land, next to his other land, and then Hong Kong invested heavily in building hospitals and supporting facilities, the biggest winner in the end was Lee Shau Kee, because this is equivalent to helping him push up the land price in disguise. Lee Shau Kee also used to be very fond of his own operation.
In fact, Lee Shau Kee and Li Ka-shing, the richest people, if they have more kindness, they should work together to solve these problems, rather than donating some money every year to do charity. If they can solve these problems, it is actually more than they donate 1 billion and 8 billion yuan a year.
Li Ka-shing spent more than 3 billion yuan to build a Buddhist temple in Hong Kong, and if he would rather spend more than 3 billion yuan to build houses for the poor, wouldn't it be more meritorious? But Li Ka-shing was reluctant to do so.
Liu Mingwei said that even if he is willing to reduce the price of the house, other big real estate developers will not be willing, and in the end, it is cheaper for those speculators.
The top Hong Kong rich people led by Lee Shau Kee and Li Ka-shing really should reflect on some of them, they have so much influence on the city, in addition to real estate, there are so many industries controlled in their hands, shouldn't they really do more than anything else?
For them, even if they change a little, they may help tens of thousands of people, even tens of thousands of people. Today, Shenzhen is developing rapidly, where innovation and technology are very critical, while Hong Kong is almost empty in this regard. Wang Tao founded DJI in Hong Kong that year, but because of the talent problem, he eventually returned to Hong Kong.
Now Hong Kong still has an advantage in funds, and rich families such as Lee Shau Kee and Li Ka-shing should also think carefully about how to use the huge amount of cash in their hands to promote the development of science and technology in the motherland. Recently, He Chaoqiong and Li Zekai invested in WM Motors is a very good attempt. In addition, the Hong Kong magnate Chen Qizong family is also a very good representative, they have long given up the real estate business, focusing on the development of commercial real estate business in the mainland, the other is the establishment of a family investment fund, focusing on the mainland technology company investment, they have long successfully invested in millet, Kuaishou and other companies.
