Vicious dogs in Hong Kong, entrepreneurs practicing evil cultivation

"Inheriting the milk? Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinian clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

The dairy company is still alive, and people are already eyeing its legacy.

Back in the day, Zhou Xi Nian dominated Hong Kong for half a century, yet he was treated like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others, who even had to discuss how to devour him.

Soon, Zhou Xinian finished laughing, his face filled with only sorrow. He looked at Chen Guanjiang with disdain and said, "You should go back to school for a few more years before going into business! Raising cattle in the New Territories? How could you even think of that?"

In the 60s, Hong Kong had more than 200 farms and 12 dairy farms, the vast majority of which were located in the New Territories.

Today, only about 50 farms remain in Hong Kong, and only 5 dairy farms remain, 3 of which belong to dairy companies.

Hong Kong's aquaculture industry, or rather agriculture, is now facing complete elimination. In the 80s, the "New Town Plan" was officially implemented, and the New Territories were developed on a large scale. What's the point of raising fish then?

"That...is none of your business!"

Chen Guanjiang simply smiled and said, "You just need to tell me whether you're willing to help me and give me shares after taking over the milk company's estate!"

According to normal development plans and the upward trend in housing prices, the New Territories should have been fully developed in the 80s, but the times did not allow it.

Hong Kong is not like England, where the emperor is far away and every move has to be watched closely by the university. Once the controversy starts, how can there be any mind to build and develop?

Once everything settled down, property prices in Hong Kong and Kowloon had skyrocketed, exceeding those in New York, London, and Paris. Only then did it become clear that "Ding Quan" (a type of property right) had been hoarded in massive quantities by real estate developers.

This creates a paradox!

The New Territories are nearly ten times larger than Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and their full development could directly cause a collapse in property prices in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

If the cost of land acquisition and development is higher than that of land reclamation, then infrastructure construction cannot be carried out without selling land for profit.

The idea of ​​abolishing Ding Quan is utterly absurd.

Initially priced at HK$3000 each, the price of a Ding Quan amulet was driven up to HK$80 in the 30s, and further increased to HK$500 million in the new century.

It can be said that every male native of the New Territories who grows up to the age of eighteen receives HK$500 million. Abolishing the right to have male offspring is tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest, and they will rise up in rebellion at any moment.

Property owners in Hong Kong and Kowloon are resisting full-scale development, which would create millions more apartments. Their properties would plummet in value by more than a hundredfold, and they would be wiped out in no time.

Developers who hoard land also don't want to develop in the New Territories.

If too many buildings are constructed, housing prices will collapse, and the owners will suffer serious losses. It would be better to lock the land deeds in a bank safe deposit box and use the proceeds as collateral for other businesses.

This has led to a bizarre phenomenon: even though the per capita living space in Hong Kong and Kowloon is less than that of prisons, and the New Territories, with its land area nearly ten times larger, is not developed for farming and fish farming, it stubbornly refuses to develop these areas.

Residents of the New Territories, with an average income of one million per person, live in the countryside, carrying hoes and farming. They feel dazed and confused as they watch the small fishing village across the strait slowly rise to high-rise buildings in front of them.

On the contrary, farms and ranches in the New Territories are now afraid to expand production because they are constantly worried about being turned into development zones. They are slowly dying because their market share is taken away by outsiders, and they will never see the day when they are truly developed.

and so!

It is entirely feasible to hoard land in the New Territories to raise dairy cows on a large scale. The land can be mortgaged to banks for loans, and people can do whatever they want without worrying about future labor costs in the New Territories.

In the early 80s, some manufacturing industries could still be transferred here. However, by the late 80s, manufacturing had completely shifted to the Pearl River Delta, and Hong Kong and Kowloon were transformed into financial services industries. Residents of the New Territories were completely dumbfounded.

Go south to Hong Kong and Kowloon to work and earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a year. Stay in the New Territories, have a baby, and after 18 years you'll have 5 million Hong Kong dollars. You're sitting on a gold mine laying golden eggs. Only a fool would run away!

Apart from the manufacturing shift in the 80s, labor costs in the New Territories rose briefly, but there were no signs of a resurgence after that, and they never woke up until they slowly fell below those of neighboring Shenzhen.

Where in the New Territories are you planning to buy land?

"Yuen Long is the first choice, Tai Po is the second choice."

“…………”

Zhou Xinian looked at Chen Guanjiang speechlessly, knowing that he had done his homework and hadn't chosen Tsuen Wan, which was indeed quite wicked.

Yuen Long is flat and covered with pasture, and is close to the Kam Tin River and Shan Pui River, which provide convenient water sources. The Peng family's small Peng Cheng Ranch is located here.

Tai Po has a better ecological environment, but the downside is that it requires funds to level the land. However, because of its superior environment, it can be developed into a villa area in the New Territories. If others build villas while you raise cattle, it will be like extortion.

Zhou Xinian offered a suggestion: "How about Yuen Long? There are still quite a few plots of land to choose from in Nam Sang Wai."

With its dense network of waterways and abundant pastures, Nam Sang Wai is indeed an ideal choice for dairy farms. Pengcheng Ranch is located in the best location along the Kam Tin River, covering 20 hectares, with plenty of suitable land still available in the surrounding area.

"No, I want Wangjingwei!" Chen Guanjiang rejected without hesitation.

"Wangjingwei?"

Zhou Xinian was taken aback, then pondered for a moment and said, "Wangjingwei isn't as good as Nanshengwei. It only has the Tianshuiwei Canal, which isn't very lush with pasture, and it's surrounded by mountains on both the east and west sides... Liufushan? You want to be a watchdog!"

"Hehe, don't get excited..."

Chen Guanjiang chuckled and said, "Labor costs are high in Hong Kong! It's more cost-effective to use Dongda people. All you need is a tire and a piece of chocolate, and they can help cut hay for two months."

There are three routes from Southeast University to Hong Kong.

One option is to take the waterway from Shekou to Lau Fau Shan or Tin Shui Wai in the northwest corner of the New Territories. This waterway is only five kilometers away in a straight line, making it the preferred choice.

The second option is to launch a voyage from Dapeng Bay to land in Sai Kung or Sha Tau Kok in the northeast corner of the New Territories. This waterway is more than ten kilometers in a straight line, and the success rate is low.

The third option is to climb over the barbed wire fence at Chung Ying Street and walk across the shallows. However, due to the constant martial law along the border, the chances of being discovered are extremely high, making this the least desirable option.

and so!

Chen Guanjiang chose Wangjingwei because of its proximity to Liufushan, but it wasn't just for free labor.

Although the straight-line distance is only five kilometers, many people still sink to the bottom of the sea. Having a tire as a lifebuoy can reduce the mortality rate.

Chocolate, on the other hand, is even more precious because it provides a quick source of energy, preventing the body temperature from being lost to the cold seawater and causing permanent death.

As for working for free for two months, it will not only allow them to familiarize themselves with Hong Kong, so that they don't enter blindly and cause trouble, but also prevent them from being deported or dealt with.

Offering life preservers directly? Unconditionally hiring people to join? Being too direct will only cause trouble for yourself. It's better to be a little more subtle so that everyone can save face.

As wealth continues to accumulate, British capital will inevitably become envious, and having this place as a backing will also make British capital wary.

"What are you talking about?"

The magnanimous woman swayed her slender waist and brought over a fruit platter, saying, "Here, have some fruit! We'll talk later."

In an instant, all the sharpness in Zhou Xinian's eyes vanished, replaced by tenderness as he looked at the woman. He said dismissively, "Let me think about it. Let's have some fruit first..."

"It's alright, no rush, take your time thinking about it!"

Watching the two of them so affectionately, Chen Guanjiang smiled thoughtfully and added, "Tomorrow is Friday. The Landmark Hotel, which Milk has played with, will also be playing with it. I hope you still have time."
