Looking at the desolate land outside the car, Yang Chen's eyes kept flashing.

In the early 1980s, as Hong Kong's economy continued to grow, the development of the New Territories was put on the agenda.

There is no shortage of land in Xiangjiang. The land area is more than 1,000 square kilometers, which is almost the same as that of the Zhenzhen Special Zone in later generations.

The reason why the development area in Xiangjiang was so small in later generations was not only due to real estate developers, but also the result of de-industrialization.

Without factories, the entire city is transforming into the service industry, and millions of people are pouring into the service industry. Just imagine, how many people can the entire service industry consume?

In later generations, all walks of life in Hong Kong were not only under great pressure from competition, but also had extremely unbalanced per capita income and expenditure.

The gap between the income of the middle and high-level people and the income of the ordinary people at the bottom clearly divides people into different levels.

If a country does not have industry, then it cannot become strong.

If an international city does not have industry, it means it does not have a solid foundation.

No matter how high the building is and how beautiful it looks, if the foundation is unstable, it will sway when the wind blows, and there will be a danger of collapse due to strong winds and rain.

In a capital society, everything speaks with money. In the face of the economy, even politics must give way to money.

Later generations said that Koreans cannot live without three things: death, taxes, and Samsung.

Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it also proves that if a company is large enough, it can affect the entire country.

To paraphrase Boss Ma’s words, if the bank doesn’t change, then we will change the bank.

Change banks, blatantly steal food from state-owned enterprises, if nothing else, just the courage and courage are not something ordinary people can do.

And Boss Ma himself not only said it, but also did it in the end.

If you hit someone with a stick, stars will appear in their eyes, which directly changes people's consumption habits.

Dear gentlemen

How long has it been since you went to the bank?

How long has it been since you went to the bank to withdraw money or transfer money?

It's not that this person can't do it, it's just a matter of whether he dares to do it and whether he is willing to do it.

Compared with the mainland, Xiangjiang is a capital society filled with money. As long as you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Since Xiangjiang will not change, then let him change Xiangjiang.

In later generations, among the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, except for a Dutch gambler who made his fortune through gambling, the other nine relied on real estate to maintain their wealth.

The high cost of land rent in Hong Kong has led to the hollowing out of all walks of life in Hong Kong in later generations. Most of the students who have left campus have entered the service industry.

The business of Erdao dealers has a time effect. As the inland economy continues to develop and coastal cities develop, the "comprador" status of Xiangjiang people will gradually fade away.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the reason why Xiangjiang's economy was able to grow rapidly and people's income and expenditure levels continued to rise was essentially because of the reform and opening up of the interior in this era, which necessitated the urgent need to import and export a large number of goods.

Due to the war, the inland was unable to have normal exchanges with Western countries for a long time, and the direct communication between the East and the West was not smooth. As a result, the city of Xiangjiang became a window and bridge for the early exchanges between the inland and the West.

To put it simply, Xiangjiang is a middleman. The business he does is to go in with the left hand and go out with the right hand, reselling materials, earning the price difference, and accumulating a lot of money and wealth.

In later generations, a group of middlemen in the interior were shattered by the impact of the rise of Internet e-commerce.

When people can get high-quality and low-priced items from e-commerce, middlemen are naturally ruthlessly abandoned by people.

In the same way, with the rapid development of the mainland's economy and the increasing opening up, coastal cities have become more and more frequent in foreign exchanges, which has caused the status of Xiangjiang as a window for foreign trade to continue to decline.

Xiangjiang, the mission that history has given it due to a special period, will gradually fade over time.

Money often blinds people's eyes. When people get used to this kind of business of making money on the spot, they will deliberately ignore some details and give up long-term considerations.

Why is it said that the truth is often only in the hands of a few people?

It's not because they are smarter or more capable than anyone else.

It's because their vision was not blinded by temporary benefits. They saw farther and higher, so they were respected by later generations.

High housing prices have doomed the future development of Xiangjiang, which will no longer be able to transform in the direction of ordinary industry.

In addition to pursuing high-profit routes such as high-tech and medical and biological research, no company can withstand the high cost of land and the impact of the increasingly prosperous import and export trade over the next two decades.

This is the truth that everything that flourishes must eventually decline.

Of course, this is not the fault of one or two people, but the fault of this era.

This era has determined that Xiangjiang can only take this road. Even if some people know that there is a cliff ahead of this road, for the sake of economic development, everyone can only bite the bullet and go on.

This is similar to global climate warming in later generations. Everyone knows that it is caused by excessive carbon emissions, but you want to ask countries to give up economic development and completely ban carbon emissions.

I wonder, can this work?

Does the country still need to be maintained?

Do the people still want to eat?

Use a line from a movie

'A hundred years is too long, everyone is seizing the day.'

There is a big cake on the table. Even if you are not hungry, everyone around you is eating it.

Tell me, do you eat it or not?

The only mistake in later generations of Xiangjiang was that the government was too constrained. Like some Western developed countries, it was easily affected by the so-called public opinion.

And behind those public opinions, except for a very small part, they are basically all those with vested interests who are behind the scenes.

for those ordinary people

To say they are hateful is not entirely wrong.

It is not wrong to say that they are pitiful.

It is not unreasonable to say that they are ignorant.

Thinking from the perspective of some people, everything they did was actually not very wrong.

The price of a house bought for one million eventually dropped to 800,000, 700,000, or 500,000. This was half the price for no reason, and anyone would cry if it were changed.

The birth of private ownership is bound to make people selfish.

In the middle, interests are balanced.

Just like the power of ancient emperors, if used well, the country will be safe and healthy, but if used poorly, chaos and turmoil will occur.

There is no absolute fairness in the world. As long as most people think it is fair, then it is fair.

The problems of Hong Kong in later generations are too complicated. In addition to the economy, there are various factors. It is very chaotic. The problems left by history can only be eliminated by time. After two or three generations, there may not be so much nonsense.

.

Real estate and export trade are two pieces of cheese that will determine the economic direction of Xiangjiang in the next 20 to 30 years. This cannot be changed by him alone.

The general trend is that whoever dares to stand in the way will die an ugly death.
