We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 280: Force Hong Kong Island to transform (page 12)

The increasing number of protests has made Hong Kong Island seem less peaceful and even chaotic these days.

In this tense atmosphere, on the third day, word came out from the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel that the two sides had reached a peace agreement.

The Grand Hyatt Hotel agreed with the other party's request and decided that starting from next month, all Chinese will have the same wages as foreigners and will be treated equally.

Except for the Grand Hyatt Oriental, all properties under the Grand Hotel Group comply with this standard.

Michael Kadoorie even stated in front of the media that in addition to major hotel groups, Chung Hwa Electric Light and Power Company will also conduct self-examination and reform.

For a time, the Kadoorie family gained great reputation and was known as the entrepreneurs who love Hong Kong.

"Okay, you still have some brains when you know how to seize opportunities in crises."

Knowing that Luo Nianzhong was teasing him, Mi Gao curled his lips and didn't want to continue the topic.

This matter is obviously not something he can decide, and the outcome has been doomed from the beginning.

If the salary increase is only given to the Chinese employees of the Grand Hyatt Hotel and not to other hotels, what will other employees think?

If you cause trouble, you can get a salary increase, right? If you focus on your work, just pretend you didn't see it, right? You don’t have to think about the consequences to know what they will be like.

Instead of waiting for them to cause trouble, it is better to take the initiative and gain popularity.

Just like now, both the hotel group and the China Electric Power and Lighting Group have greatly improved their corporate image.

By the way, the Kadoorie family also gained great prestige on Hong Kong Island.

Although these things have no real value, the hidden value is something you may not be able to buy even with money.

Even old Kadoorie lamented that the money was well spent, which was equivalent to giving the Kadoorie family a resurrection armor on Hong Kong Island.

No matter how Hong Kong Island develops in the future, it will be invincible if it can sustain public opinion.

"Now Hong Kong Island is in chaos, what are you going to do next?"

The Kadoorie family's compromise turned the strike movement, which was a spark, into a prairie fire in an instant and became unstoppable, just like a flood.

The two sides held peace talks in the morning, and in the afternoon a large number of companies participated in the demonstration.

Even many Vietnamese have participated, knowing that it is good for them.

Fire all the people and replace them with new ones who are willing to accept the current salary? You can't even pass the Hong Kong government's test.

Now it is no longer one or two corporate factories, this matter has risen to another level.

"What should I do? That is something Mr. Hong Kong Governor should consider. What does it have to do with me, a businessman?"

Luo Nianzhong's nonchalant look made Mi Gao feel that this guy was too pretentious, and he really wanted to give him a slap in the face.

Outsiders don't know. As part of the Law Group, do the Kadoorie family still know about the current relationship between MacLehose and Luo Nianzhong?

"You are forcing those intensive industries to transform, and many people will go bankrupt as a result."

The increase in labor costs means that intensive low value-added industries have lost their competitiveness, and Hong Kong Island no longer has the soil for these industries.

"What you said is wrong. No matter what happens, it is decided by the Hong Kong government. What does it have to do with me?

Besides, if those people have a unique vision, not only will they not go bankrupt, this will also be an opportunity."

The Hong Kong government does all the bad things for the purpose of upgrading Hong Kong Island's industry. The Luo family and the Far East Group can gain huge benefits from this industrial transformation.

Needless to say, in terms of talent, if you want to transform into emerging industries, the threshold is not comparable to that of the textile industry.

Whether starting a business or financing, a large amount of capital is required, which gives Far East Bank an opportunity.

Likewise, those who don’t want to transform.

If you are visionary and courageous enough, you can invest and build factories in the north. This is also the future trend.

"Will the Hong Kong government really make this decision? If there are no such industries, how will so many labor forces be suddenly liberated? I'm afraid there will be even greater riots by then, right?"

"So many laborers? Do you know how many people there are in Hong Kong Island? How many people actually have Hong Kong Island identity?"

Mi Gao frowned, "The population of Hong Kong Island is around five million. As for the population of Hong Kong citizens, I really don't know."

"370 million people." Luo Nianzhong gave the answer.

“This also includes those foreigners with dual nationalities, and excluding the foreigners who normally work in Hong Kong, there are about one million refugees and illegal households on Hong Kong Island.

But even so, Far East Properties' construction sites in the New Territories are already having difficulty recruiting people.

When it continues to improve and becomes the second central district on Hong Kong Island? will face the pressure of population shortage."

Mi Gao's eyes widened. He really didn't know that there would be such a thing as a population shortage in Hong Kong Island.

In his impression, Hong Kong Island has always been under great population pressure, right?

Mi Gao's idea was correct, but that was before.

With the Far East Group's large-scale development of the New Territories, the population pressure on Hong Kong Island has generally ceased to exist.

If we remove the illegal households in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island is actually underpopulated.

"As long as MacLehose understands this matter, he will not be afraid of the liberation of a large number of labor forces.

And this is not his fault. Now the Hong Kong people have lost confidence in the British Hong Kong government. This is not economic. The British must solve this problem."

After explaining the pros and cons, Luo Nianzhong picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Jiandong on the side immediately livened up the atmosphere after seeing the two of them finish chatting about a topic that he didn't quite understand.

"It's finally time for Brother Zhong to stop talking about work when we go out today. Having fun is the most important thing."

After speaking, Li Jiandong stood up and opened the door, and a group of escort girls with voluptuous figures and looks as good as those of celebrities walked in.

Do you think that with Luo Nianzhong’s status, they should find a few star models to come over? But the reality is exactly the opposite.

It is the girl like this who is accompanying a guest for the first time and who is as beautiful as a jade is more popular with the boss.

Although it may be the first time for the girls, they have gone through strict training and are so enthusiastic that they don't look like they are picking up customers for the first time.

He didn't let the guests choose. He walked to and sat down next to everyone one by one without any trace of dust.

After the girl filled everyone's glasses, Li Jiandong raised his glass and said, "Brother Zhong hasn't been out for a long time. I'll treat you to today's meal. Let's raise our glasses together to celebrate."

After saying that, he came first as a sign of respect, and everyone also drank a drink.

"Next, I will perform a song for everyone, just give it a sample first."

While requesting songs, Li Jiandong was still boasting, "Brother Zhong, it's not me. My singing voice these days is like that of Leslie Cheung, who has mesmerized thousands of girls."

"Really? We have someone who has held a concert sitting here, how dare you say this?"

Mi Gao's words were obviously making fun of Luo Nianzhong, and he was suspected of taking revenge.

Luo Nianzhong is self-aware of his own singing level. Although it is not out of tune, it is just average.

If compared with Li Jiandong, Luo Nianzhong's level is really not as good as that of Li Jiandong who hangs out in nightclubs every day and sings wildly.
