Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 601 "600" Legislative Council, Guan Zu looks down on the whole audience!

9 points,
Inside the Legislative Council Building,

City Hall,
All the legislators arrived, without a single one absent, to watch the fun.

Guan Zu, dressed in a neat dark suit, was the focus of all the parliamentarians' attention.

In the minds of the members of parliament:

"Today is his time to shine again."

"It's boring, I want to see a river of blood!"

"Eat melon, eat melon~~~"

"Zu Ge hasn't proposed anything in the past few months. The entire legislative session was so boring. Today I can finally have a full meal."

“I hope the real estate developers are not too weak, otherwise they will fall down at the slightest breeze, which would be really boring.”

On the surface, they all look serious and righteous, but they have a lot going on in their hearts.

There are also some members of parliament who have been bought by real estate, and at this moment they are thinking:
"Who will object first?"

"If I stand up first, will I be beaten?"

"I don't need to come forward first, I only charge a small amount of money..."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just say a few words of innocuous opposition. There's no need to offend Guan Zu for a little money."

9: 10,

Knock knock knock~~~
Chairman John tapped the microphone strategically.

"Okay, let's start the meeting..."

"Everyone..."

After a bunch of words about "serving the people",
"Members of the House, does anyone have any new proposals to propose?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Guan Zu.

Guan Zu smiled and grabbed the microphone: "Okay, then I'll go first..."

Everyone in the audience, who were originally groggy, suddenly became alert.

They all looked at Guan Zu.

I'm coming!

I want to see - a river of blood!
Jiejiejie~~~
The bribed congressmen encouraged themselves in their hearts: I will fight you with all my strength with a fearless attitude!
"Members of the House!"

Guan Zu looked solemn: "Everyone should have watched the news in the past two days, and they all know what I am going to do..."

"Now, there is a document on everyone's desk. It is my proposal for today... You can open it and take a look."

Guan Zu's voice became louder and louder, and his speech was full of emotion, which spread throughout the hall through the loudspeaker.
“Today, I stand here to solve a problem that has troubled the five million citizens of Hong Kong Island for many years - the common area!”

"The common area, according to the definition of the real estate developer, includes the elevator shaft, pipe shaft, stairwell, garbage chute, transformer room, equipment room, public lobby..."

"Pfft~~~"

As Guan Zu was talking, he suddenly laughed.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it."

"It also includes corridors, basements, guard rooms, public rooms, etc...."

"I do not understand……"

"Everyone!"

Guan Zu looked at the whole audience.

"Our citizens clearly buy a house to live in, so why do they have to buy elevator shafts and pipe shafts? What's even more outrageous is that they have to buy public foyers, duty guard rooms, and public rooms..."

"Can't we be pure?"

“Is it not possible for the owner to buy only the interior area of ​​the house?”

“Why do we need a common area?”

Guan Zu glanced around.
"I think everyone knows the reason..."

"In the final analysis, it was deliberately created by real estate developers in order to make more money."

"Because its calculation method is not transparent, it is often difficult for homebuyers to know exactly how the shared area they are responsible for is calculated..."

"This means that developers can arbitrarily expand the common area to increase profits."

"In other words... the amount of the public area depends on the developer's decision."

"This is very unfair to the citizens who buy houses."

suddenly,

"I have an opinion."

At this time, the congressman bribed by the real estate developer finally spoke.

Is a member of the real estate functional constituency.

I collect the most money, so I'll fire the cannon!
Otherwise, the money would be a bit too hot to handle!
"Councilman Guan, I... cough cough..."

The congressman originally wanted to shout loudly, question, and protest, but when he saw Guan Zu's majestic gaze, he instantly wilted.

Forget it, it’s just 20 yuan, why risk your life?
The tone suddenly became much lower:

"Mr. Guan...if the public area is cancelled, who will pay for the construction of public areas such as elevators, corridors, and residential areas? Should the developers pay for it out of their own pockets? Canceling the public area will inevitably lead to developers cutting corners and reducing costs, which will lead to a bad result - the quality of the property will be reduced."

Guan Zu chuckled: "You can ask the United States, Japan, Britain, Australia, Singapore and other countries about this question. Their properties do not have common areas."

“Is their real estate of poor quality?”

"As for cutting corners? Reducing quality? If that's the case, then I have to question the capabilities of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Housing Department, the police force, the Department of Justice and the courts!"

"Your problem is not a problem at all... Next one!"

Audience: "…………"

God damn next one.

Do you think this is killing a chicken?

Another councillor stood up and questioned: "Councilman Guan, if the public areas are eliminated, housing prices will inevitably rise, and ordinary homebuyers will be the ultimate victims. How do you solve this problem?"

Guan Zu: "I don't deny that canceling the public area will lead to an increase in the price of housing per square foot. But my proposal is not to lower the housing price, but to make the money spent clearly and transparently."

"Citizens will weigh the housing prices themselves and decide whether to buy or not. I just hope to create an environment where they can spend their money with clarity."

"Moreover, clearly marked prices can more intuitively show the fluctuations in housing prices, which is conducive to overall market regulation."

"Next……"

Another councillor said: "Without common areas, who will maintain the community's elevators? Who will clean the lobby? Someone has to bear the cost of maintaining these common areas."

Guan Zu: "When you asked this question, I wondered if you were brainless... Didn't the property management collect property fees? What is this property fee used for? Isn't it just for maintaining the community? Also, since you have collected property fees, why do you add this to the house price? You are charging at both ends."

The congressman: “…………”

His face turned red immediately.

Why are you cursing?
Forget it. After all, I received 10 Hong Kong dollars. What’s wrong with getting scolded?
If I hadn't been scolded, I would have felt that making money was too easy and I'd have felt a little embarrassed.

Guan Zu: "Next..."

Next,
One after another, the congressmen raised their own questions.

but!

It's all painless.

They had no choice. On the one hand, they were afraid of Guan Zu and were afraid of being targeted by Guan Zu.

Secondly, the common area is indeed a bit nonsense. It is just as Guan Zu said, it is "just a tool for developers to make money through opaque calculation methods."

This also led to the fact that their doubts were not serious at all.

If they weren't paid for the work, they wouldn't want to question it.

Guan Zu sighed: "Boring~~~"

The chairman John and the vice chairman William were not in high spirits: "It's so boring~~~"

Many congressmen who were just watching the show were dejected: "It's so boring~~~~"

What about the promised river of blood?

I always took leave before, but today I didn’t. I rushed here on purpose just to watch the show!
Is this the result?

That's it?

In about 20 minutes, all the congressmen bribed by the real estate developers finished their performances. They were refuted by Guan Zu and were on the verge of collapse. In the end, they bowed down under Guan Zu's shoes...

Guan Zu: "Okay, does anyone else have any comments?"

His eyes swept the whole place.

Everyone was loyal.

At this time, it was finally the turn of John, the host in the background, to speak.

"It seems that everyone has nothing to say, so let's move on to the next step..."

"vote!"

"Everyone, start voting..."

Soon, the voting ends.

In the end, out of 60 people, 45 voted in favor, 0 voted against, and 15 abstained.

“Tuk tuk~~~”

Chairman John rapped his knuckles on the microphone.

"Okay, the voting results for the Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance are out..."

"Out of 60 members, 45 voted in favor, 0 voted against, and 15 abstained!"

“Now, I declare that the Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance has been passed!”

John is upright.
“The result of this vote is not only an endorsement of Councillor Guan’s proposal, but also an important step for the Legislative Council to comply with public opinion.”

"This is exactly the original intention of our Legislative Council, everything is for the citizens to have a better life..."

"Canceling the common area will allow citizens to clearly know where they are spending their money, and will leave no room for real estate developers to falsify information and inflate the area to make profits..."

As expected of a leader, he gave a concise and comprehensive summary, and elevated the theme.

"Wow~~~~"

The applause was like a tide, flooding the entire venue.

……

……

11 points,
The Legislative Council's weekly meeting has ended.

Everyone left the conference hall one after another.

then……

I heard a lot of cursing, fighting, and screaming coming from outside the building.
"Damn it, you support the shared pool? Do you have any conscience left?"

"You idiot, what's wrong with me supporting this? I have a house! What should I do if the common area is cancelled and my house price drops?"

"Flop~"

"Take your mother's banknotes!"

"Punia..."

"Ahhh~~~I died with you!"

"Go to hell~~"

Outside the Legislative Council Building,
Two groups of citizens were seen, one holding up signs that read "Abolish the public areas and give me back my hard-earned money" while the other group waved signs that read "The public areas are reasonable and will improve the community."

Fierce quarrels broke out in the crowd from time to time, spit flew, and the angry emotions were like an exploding powder keg.

The two sides scuffled, using plastic benches and placards as weapons, with shouting and crying rang out.

It's been four or five minutes.

Someone's glasses were knocked off and the lenses shattered on the ground; several burly men wrestled with each other, knocked over the cordon, and even dragged to the ground the police officer who was maintaining order on the side.

Someone filled a mineral water bottle with water and threw it at the crowd on the opposite side, causing a commotion.

The police immediately formed a defensive line and tried to separate the out-of-control crowd.

But the scene was too chaotic.

At this time,
The live broadcast vehicles of TVB and ATV are naturally not idle.

The photographer focused the camera on the scene of the conflict, and high-definition images were transmitted in real time via satellite signals to the television screens of thousands of households across Hong Kong.

There’s food for lunch for all Hong Kong citizens!
"Dear audience friends, outside the Legislative Council building, two groups of citizens who support and oppose the abolition of the common area are in fierce conflict. The fight has lasted for 10 minutes..."

Le Huizhen's eyes were excited and she spoke quickly, "Some people were holding sticks, some were throwing water bottles, the police were trying to maintain order, but the crowd was emotional, the situation was out of control, it was a mess..."

TVB is no exception.

Reporting excitedly.

On Guan Zu's side, a group of councillors came out and saw the fight outside...

"Wow~~~ a fight?"

Suddenly I felt refreshed!
The boredom and lethargy of the meeting just now disappeared in an instant.

“Isn’t this more exciting than the meeting just now?”

"Good fight... ahem, how can we fight!"

"Let's go and watch the show... ahem, stop the fight!"

Everyone came to watch the fun and didn't mind the trouble. They ran outside and watched enthusiastically.

"Wow, this old lady is amazing, grabbing my hair..."

"This crotch-grabbing~~"

"Sigh~~"

"That woman is so cruel~~~"

at this time,

Guan Zu walked out of the building quickly and jumped into the black Chevrolet.

"Stop it all!"

The voice was so loud that it instantly drowned out the chaotic and noisy sounds at the scene.

There was a slight pause in the battle between the two sides.

"Everyone calm down!"

"Neighbors who support me, please give me some face... Stop for now..."

When Guan Zu's voice fell, many citizens stepped back.

"I'll listen to Mr. Guan..."

"do not fight……"

"I will listen to Mr. Guan..."

The crowd was divided into two distinct halves.

The remaining half of the citizens looked at Guan Zu unconvinced.

"Mr. Guan, I don't accept it!"

"Yes, I am not convinced either. If the common area is eliminated, then won't the price of the houses we have now drop?"

"Who will compensate for our losses?"

"Yes, who will pay? Will you pay?"

Guan Zu said seriously: "First of all, I want to emphasize one thing: buying a house is an investment behavior. Now you say that it has fallen and you want me to pay for it. What if it has risen? Do you want to give me a dividend?"

"You can't have it both ways, can you?"

Opponents: “…………”

"Another point, will your second-hand houses really fall in value after the public area is banned? Not necessarily. If someone wants to buy your second-hand house and only requires the useable area, you can just raise the price. Isn't it you who decides the total price?"

Opponents: “…………”

Guan Zu: "When you bought a house before, didn't you hate the common area? When you buy a house in the future, do you still want to accept the common area? I don't think so, right? So now I want to ban the common area, why do you object?"

Opponents: “…………”

Well-reasoned, I don't know how to refute it.

Those opponents who were paid to cause trouble didn't know how to oppose for a while and couldn't find an excuse.

The whole audience fell silent.

Guan Zu: "Okay, now I have a message to announce..."

"Just now, in the Legislative Council, the motion I proposed on the Hong Kong Island Building Area Transparency Ordinance was passed by 45 votes, with 15 abstentions."

"From today, it will go through the process and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will formally become the law of Hong Kong Island soon."

"We will never see things like common areas again."

"That is to say, from now on, every inch of the house price must be clearly marked!"

“You don’t have to pay hard-earned money for corridors and transformer rooms anymore!”

“You don’t have to pay for air anymore!”

“Hong Kong Island’s property market will usher in true fairness!”

under the sun,

Guan Zu in the car stood tall and straight, looking radiant.

Many members of parliament: “…………”

hateful!

He got it again!

If I had known this, I would have jumped onto the roof of the car to give a speech!

I should be the one to act like this!
