Chapter 319 East Star Properties

"As I said before, Hong Kong's education level is a bit behind. Currently, there are only two comprehensive universities in the local area, the rate of admission to high schools in Hong Kong is only 2. This data is far lower than the penetration rate of 92 in the UK. There are even fewer students who can go to college in Hong Kong. In order to allow the people of Hong Kong to enjoy more education, I hope that people like Mr. Lin who are keen on education and charity can work with me to promote local education." Yude said to Lin Johnson with excitement.

With the popularity rate of 2, Lin Johnson suddenly wondered curiously, wouldn’t it be good to make Hong Kong people illiterate?

He said generously to Youde: "I will make up for the promotion of Hong Kong's education. Sir Youde, please rest assured that I will support you."

Yud looked at Lin Johnson and nodded with a smile and said, "I hope that more Hong Kong people can receive high school education during my term, and run a few more universities. These will depend on a healthy and stable economic environment. I hope that Mr. Lin will also participate in making Hong Kong's economy more prosperous."

He sighed: "As far as I know, Mr. Lin started his business with the financial industry, and Hong Kong's economy is small and cannot resist severe turmoil."

Lin Johnson nodded and said something to You Deyi, without expressing his opinion or responding. You De was a little disappointed when he received Lin Johnson's promise. He said directly: "Mr. Lin's real estate company holds No. 1 Admiralty Garden Road, and the previous government sold this land to your company. As the new governor of Hong Kong, I want to discuss with Mr. Lin. It would be best if it is possible to hand over that land to the Bank of China branch. I think both of you can sit down and talk and discuss a plan that everyone can accept."

Lin Qiangsheng frowned and said calmly on the surface, but was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect Youde to be the mediator of the Bank of China Branch. What is this for?

Lin Qiangsheng said calmly: "I also hope to reach a plan with the Bank of China Branch that will satisfy both parties."

Yu De nodded with a smile and said to Johnson Lin: "We all hope that Hong Kong can prosper and develop steadily."

Lin Johnson suddenly had a bad premonition, and I am afraid that the Governor of SIPG Youde did not agree with the decision he made in the last term. In other words, Youde would cooperate with the mainland. They all have a common goal, that is, to maintain basic stability in Hong Kong.

What Johnson Lin did disrupted the established goals of both parties. The existence of the Bank of China Branch was largely the result of the British government's compromise. Times changed. What Johnson Lin did was naturally not what both parties wanted to see. It seems that it is impossible to take advantage of the Bank of China Branch in the matter of land.

Of course, Lin Johnson did not want the Bank of China branch to pay out HK$2 billion. He thought it would be acceptable to have a slightly higher price of HK$230,000.000 million, but now it is very difficult to have such conditions.

"Sir Yud really wants to cooperate with the mainland government?" On the way back, Streisan asked in surprise after listening to Lin Johnson's retelling.

The amount of information is too large, which makes Sir Yudd unable to accept it for a while. What does Sir Yud mean? Is the British government ready to not be able to protect Hong Kong? If this news is leaked a little, I don’t know what it will be like. Will Hong Kong be in chaos immediately? How many family forces have been ready to evacuate Hong Kong at any time, and how many ordinary families have begun to prepare for immigration to all members.

Lin Johnson patted the shocked Shi Cuishan. Shi Cuishan suddenly came back to her senses and grabbed Lin Johnson's arm and asked anxiously: "Boss, what should we do? Should we be prepared to evacuate from Hong Kong? The People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the People's Liberation Army came over and the

"Pa" Lin Johnson patted Shi Cuishan's forehead and said, "What are you panic? I'm not afraid of what you are afraid of?"

"Oh. Haha, I'm just a pawn," Shi Cuishan said aggrievedly, covering her forehead. She looked at Lin Johnson and asked again, "What should I do if there is No. 1 Golden Bell Garden Road? Should I sell it to the Bank of China at a low price?"

Lin Johnson leaned on the seat and thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Sell, you can."

Shi Cuishan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her boss would insist on high prices. If she didn't get the support of the Hong Kong and British governments, she would be trembling when she thought about it.

"How much does it sell? Is the original price of HK$1 billion?" asked Streisan.

"Yes, it's only HK$1 billion, but we must also set a condition that the Bank of China Branch Building must be undertaken by our general manager to build a landmark building. The construction cost of the landmark building must exceed HK$1 billion. With this fee, we will not suffer any loss," said Lin Qiangsheng fiercely.

As far as Lin Johnson knows, the Hong Kong Branch Building of the Bank of China is the general contractor of the Kumaya Group in Japan. This is an international construction contractor. They not only work as builders in Japan but also carry out the project to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Europe and the United States.

Such a landmark building was handed over to the Japanese, and it was in Hong Kong or the headquarters of the Bank of China Branch. Lin Johnson felt uncomfortable even if he thought about it. There was no need to let the Japanese make this money. He was not as broad-minded as the Bank of China Branch.

"Can the Bank of China Branch agree? Boss, where do you go to find a builder? We don't have such qualifications," Shi Cuishan said in confusion.

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "This is so easy to deal with. Isn't it possible to acquire a construction company in the United States? In this way, will I have construction qualifications?"

Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo were overjoyed after receiving the news that Lin Johnson decided to sell the land at the original price, but at the same time they were surprised by Lin Johnson's request. Hu Zeng asked Song Xiaobo: "Do they have experience in construction? Does Lin Johnson have a construction unit? It's just a mess."

Song Xiaobo said: "Lin Johnson-John has the qualifications of an American construction company. It is said that this company has participated in the construction of skyscrapers, and this is a necessary condition set by the other party."

"We ask our superiors to make a decision on this matter. Please ask if the other party has any construction plan." Hu Zeng shook his head helplessly. He felt that one step was wrong and the big Hong Kong branch was actually at the point where someone led his nose to the point where he was led by the nose.

After a month of investigation and preparation, the largest private lawsuit in Hong Kong has ever been held. On July 3, the court of First Instance of the High Court of Queensway, Hong Kong Island, was held. Lawyer Griffith John led his team of lawyers to send more than 50 drivers to the dock one by one.

This huge lawsuit also attracted the attention of all media in Hong Kong. In court, the defendants were questioned one by one, and lawyer Griffith asked the defendants like a victorious white goose, as if victory was right in front of him.

Of course, drivers are really just ordinary people, so they are doomed to fail. None of them hires a lawyer for themselves, and they can only defend themselves in court. It is true that many people act like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, but the fact that they go to the scene cannot be eliminated, and these drivers will also pay the price for their behavior.

But the drivers did not look completely desperate. On the contrary, many people pointed the finger at their boss. Many drivers of Bai Lewen accused Bai Lewen instigated them to go to Lin Johnson's company to make trouble. All the economic losses caused to Lin Johnson's company should be compensated by Bai Lewen and it is not their business. They are just small minions and ants.

"Gerry, these drivers dress themselves up as victims in court to win the sympathy of the jury. How confident do you think we are to make them pay the price they deserve?" Lin Johnson asked Griffith after the adjournment.

"Mr. Lin, please rest assured that no matter how these people performed in court, they did harass your company and affect your normal operations, and it really made some employees feel sad. These facts are that they cannot erase the jury will respect the law and make the ruling. I think the only thing you should worry about is that the jury will reduce the compensation to a very small number. After all, you sued more than fifty ordinary people," Griffith said helplessly, spreading his hands and spreading his hands.

"A very small number? Is there a hundred thousand?" Lin Qiangsheng asked in confusion.

"Maybe, the jury almost has to consider the ability of these people to bear, and their family," Griffith said, nodding.

Lin Johnson showed a smile on his lips and said, "That's enough. I believe that this money will definitely make many drivers regret it for a long time."

House prices in Hong Kong are now ridiculously high. It is difficult for a white-collar worker to buy a house for 10 years. Most ordinary people buy houses with loans, and many taxi drivers have loans and are all moonlight people.

After a month of repeated consultations and requests, the Bank of China Hong Kong Branch finally agreed to Lin Johnson's plan. The transaction was completed at 1 Admiralty Garden Road, and Lin Johnson's Dongxing Property General was responsible for the construction of the headquarters of the Bank of China Branch.

Dongxing Products will contract the headquarters project of the Bank of China for a total cost of HK$10.9 billion. Of course, such a large project, the Bank of China Branch also held a symbolic bidding meeting in Hong Kong. With the agreement reached in advance, there is no plan to produce a lower cost than Dongxing Products in the bidding meeting. The Bank of China Branch had no choice but to hand over the project to Dongxing Products Company.

This Dongxing Property acquired an American builder and gained qualifications. Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo also attached conditions to the contract. The project period is expected to be 6 years and must be completed before December 31, 1988. During the project, the Bank of China Branch will invite a famous engineering supervision company to supervise all construction work of Dongxing Property Company.

Hu Zeng and Song Xiaobo started looking for a designer firm to design the headquarters of the Bank of China Branch. Lin Johnson recommended to them the designer Bei Luming and also won the approval of both of them. This old man is a famous Chinese architectural designer and the designer of the headquarters of the Bank of China Hong Kong Branch in history. The design work should have been given to him.

Of course, as the construction company, Dongxing Products, is even busier. Except for the management engineers, construction workers cannot use Americans. American construction workers have high wages and are all old men. Hong Kong workers also need wages even more unusable. However, Lin Johnson has a place to find cheaper construction workers.
