If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Luo Nianzhong would not have believed that this was Hong Kong Island. He would have thought it was a historic town in Europe where rich people lived.

Colorful buildings of various styles, French, Danish, and Italian, are located next to each other.

Windmills, churches, various convenience facilities such as gas stations, convenience stores, bars, fast food restaurants, etc. are all available.

This scene looks like an internet celebrity check-in place, a European-style town.

But shouldn’t such a fairy tale town be in Europe? Why did you come to Hong Kong Island to settle down?

Looking at the houses with hundreds of households, a wide and straight avenue in the middle, and the stone paths spreading around, it seems that this place has not existed for a day or two.

"What's going on?" Luo Nianzhong couldn't believe it even after seeing the facts in front of him, and he was still confused.

"Far East Town is very famous in Yuen Long and Tuen Mun. Do you remember that when we came here, there was a lot of construction work going on in the mountains? Roads were being built there.

As long as the road is open, the town will extend."

John Baibo seemed to like this place very much. While answering Luo Nianzhong's questions, he did not forget to admire the various beautiful house structures around him.

"I mean where did they get the money?"

Far East Town, from the name, you can tell that the people living here are employees of the Far East Group.

Looking at the population pattern in the town, where whites are the mainstay and yellows are the supplement, it seems that all the white employees of the Far East Group and employees from island countries have taken root here.

It didn't matter. What Luo Nianzhong wanted to know was where they got the money to build these infrastructure facilities.

Spacious roads, magnificent churches, Luo Nianzhong also saw supporting facilities such as kindergartens.

How to connect water, electricity and gas, these are not small things, and it is impossible for everyone to pay equally to fix them.

"The Yuen Long District Political Bureau, Yuen Long Council and local wealthy families took the lead."

It turns out that after a large number of employees from the Far East bought houses in Yuen Long, many employees still preferred the Western courtyard-style living environment.

Gradually, people with this idea formed an organization. With more people, there was room for negotiation and maneuverability. At the same time, the district political bureaus of Tuen Mun and Yuen Long also paid great attention to these people after learning about this situation. .

These are all high-income people. Foreigners who can come to work in the Far East are basically not low-level clerks, but are basically scientific researchers.

If a high-end new community is built for these people, it will not only stimulate the economy, but also greatly improve the lives of local people. Moreover, the land fee is cheap and it is also a large amount of income.

Therefore, the Regional Municipal Councils of Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, who thought this was a good thing, approached this group of people and promised to provide them with infrastructure construction so that they could establish new communities. However, this was subject to conditions.

In the end, these people chose the area at the junction of the northwest corner of Yuen Long and Tuen Mun.

First of all, this area is in the wilderness and no one lives there. Secondly, it is very close to Tuen Mun. It is very convenient to go to Tuen Mun New Town for shopping.

Finally, there is the environment. The northwest corner is the sea, where you can build a dock to go out to sea. The northeast is separated from Pengcheng by the sea, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The final result of the negotiations between the two parties was that the Yuen Long Regional Municipal Council was responsible for water, electricity, ventilation, communication and other communication work, and funded the construction of a main road, while all commercial facilities such as living services in the new community could only be handed over to the Regional Municipal Council within ten years. Operated by designated merchants.

In other words, all commercial shops in the town cannot be built by others within ten years, and can only be built by renting them from the government.

It seems that the Yuen Long Regional Council is not stupid. It plans to build shops to make money.

Initial expenses such as road construction can be regarded as initial investment, and then the funds can be raised by monopolizing commercial stores.

Even if the ten-year agreement expires, these shops will still be the mainstay. How many people will convert their homes into shops.

Rebuild? Do you have land?

As the middle class here grows more and more, the surrounding land will appreciate more, making it suitable for both left and right.

"I know how to do business and know how to speculate in land." Luo Nianzhong praised the New Territories government.

"This is a win-win situation. Residents get their favorite homes, the land in the hands of local landlords and the Hong Kong government increases in value, and the Hong Kong government can alleviate population pressure.

I heard that the Hong Kong government can allocate a lot of money for infrastructure here. Not only has the police station and fire protection department been established, but preparations for the education system are also underway.

The area under construction that we just came over to see is a community where the main groups are Chinese from the Islands and Chinese from Southeast Asia. The architectural style is also mainly oriental courtyard style.

I heard that the government is considering building a forest park between the two communities, which can serve as a natural oxygen bar.

A pier and a waterfront plaza will be built in the northwest corner, with the intention of turning this area into a new wealthy area on Hong Kong Island.

Even the original light rail plan in Tuen Mun has been modified and extended directly here."

He is worthy of being known as the professional manager who loves to listen to the voices of the grassroots. Not only about work, but also about life, John Baibo understands everything.

This is a good thing. Only when there are no worries in daily life can employees concentrate on their work.

"How about our group setting up an assisted living department? It will specifically solve the problems and difficulties that most employees have reported. In the future, we can communicate with the Hong Kong government more effectively for situations like this."

“Great idea, it will greatly improve employee productivity.

For example, new employees who don't like living in the company's dormitories, or employees who don't meet the conditions and want to move out, need to find housing.

We can collect housing listings so that when employees rent a house, they can directly look at the pictures and select them internally, which saves a lot of trouble."

John Baibo agreed with Luo Nianzhong's opinion. It was just like the internal recruitment software developed by the personnel department. Although it was short-lived, it had already had some effects.

Just like some people are born to do this job, some people who have changed positions are more active in their work, and some people do perform very well and achieve certain results.

“Just like the human resources department, we can also build an internal software, such as renting a house, decorating, hiring maids, and even pet boarding, and can cooperate with some related companies.

We inspect merchants and employees can place orders if necessary, and we can expand the capacity according to demand in the future, which not only facilitates employees but also improves efficiency."

The cost will not be much more, but the happiness index of employees will increase infinitely. This is feasible.

“In addition to these, there are also recruitments from other companies.

We have a large number of foreign employees, some of whom are raising families. If they need work, we can also help them.

I will leave this matter to you. This assisted living department is directly under your management. You should know what my bottom line is."

"Understood, I will pay close attention to corruption." John Baibo knew what the bottom line was in Luo Nianzhong.

Even though this department doesn’t seem to have much real power, it does have a lot of money.

Far East currently has more than 30,000 employees in Hong Kong. If Watsons and other joint-stock companies are included, the entire Far East Group has more than 100,000 employees on Hong Kong Island. These are all high-quality customers.

Any service matter that is tilted towards a company will bring huge profits, and this department will definitely become the focus of these counterpart companies.

"Research it, it is still necessary for our group to establish a branch here."

Now that the New Territories have begun to show signs of development. Then Luo Nianzhong will speed it up again.

The New Territories, which account for 700% of the land area of ​​Hong Kong Island, cannot be allowed to continue to be abandoned. After the New Territories are developed, let alone million people, even if it is doubled, it will not be as crowded as Hong Kong Island in the previous life.

Luo Nianzhong's positioning of the population of Hong Kong Island is 570 million. The current permanent population of Hong Kong Island is million, which is still a big gap from the permanent population of million.

With the development of the New Territories, the population is migrating to the north. Although Hong Kong Island will still be one of the most densely populated cities in the world, it will not be as space-constrained as in its previous life.

Another one is the assisted living department he mentioned. Does the content inside sound familiar?

I just don’t know if this will inspire some people to return to their own countries to start businesses with similar functions in the future.

When the time comes, the Far Eastern family will be my natal family, and they will definitely benefit a lot.
