When Gaoxian returned to Xiangjiang slowly, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang was already "cold", which formed a sharp contrast with the "hot" of summer.

Let me give you the most easy-to-understand evidence. Recently, the Hong Kong government auctioned a piece of official land, but no one cared about it, so I had to take it back.

Sir Gao finally came back, and many people were eager to line up for a visit, but Gao Xian had his own priority and went to the Governor's Office without stopping.

Although Gao Xian had met Youde nearly three months ago, Youde had not yet taken office as the Governor of Hong Kong at that time, and the meeting was in the UK, so naturally it was not as good as the Governor of Hong Kong and the Governor of Hong Kong who had already taken office this time.

The talks come formally and meaningfully.

Gao Xian first apologized for not being able to attend the inauguration ceremony of Hong Kong Governor Youde in person. Hong Kong Governor Youde said without any grudges, "It's okay to understand." A greeting was a complete move.

Next, Gao Xian reported on his work as Chairman of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau and introduced the achievements of strengthening the trade relations between Chile and Hong Kong during his visit to Chile.

Governor Yud praised this and then sighed, "Thanks to Sir Gao before, the reminder about the possible economic crisis in the process of introducing me to Hong Kong's current situation, has given me a psychological preparation.

I told me that the fiscal deficit of the government will be unavoidable, and the scale may be close to 4 billion, which makes my first policy report very difficult."

Gao Xian was not surprised by this information, because the Hong Kong government's fiscal expenditures are increasing, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is increasingly dependent on the auction official place, so take 1980 to 1981

In the annual terms, among the Hong Kong government's fiscal revenue, the proportion of auctioned official land revenue reached 35%. However, at this stage, the real estate industry in Xiangjiang is "cold", with high vacancy rates and rents falling sharply, and speculators of all sizes

The residential units in my hands cannot find a buyer, and industrial land, commercial land, and high-end residential land cannot be sold, so the Hong Kong government's fiscal revenue naturally shrank greatly.

If you want to solve this problem, it is nothing more than "reducing expenses" and "opening source".

The former is impossible, not to mention that a large number of senior British civil servants are willing to accept salary cuts in a style. The current inflation level and the population exceeding five million have led to the low limit of public expenditures that cannot be moved.

Beautiful.

In this way, "open source" has become the only way, and it is not difficult to imagine specific implementation methods, such as increasing taxes, digging deep into the commercial potential of Xiangjiang as an international free port and financial center, etc.

In Gao Xian's view, adjusting the tax mechanism, including increasing consumption tax, is an effective solution that focuses on long-term development. However, the social environment of Xiangjiang, coupled with the delicate psychology of the British facing the loss of control of Xiangjiang, the Hong Kong government is very

It is difficult to take courageously, and it seems to be thankless in the short term.

After analyzing for the Governor Youde of the Hong Kong Governor, Gao Xian finally gave the most effective suggestions at present, which is to strengthen economic and trade ties with the mainland. The functions of Xiangjiang's free port and international financial center are exactly what China needs for reform and opening up.

Resources.

"Sir Gao and I thought of it together." Governor Yud said happily: "Next, please help me."

"After the Governor of the Constitution takes office, it is necessary to adjust the official officials of the main office, and I obey the order." Gao Xian naturally bowed and tested how to arrange his position. After all, the Hong Kong Governor has replaced the personnel, and the team must also adjust.

Governor Yu Dedong can no one moves Gao Xian, who is increasingly important in Hong Kong. Moreover, he gets along very well with Sir Gao, so he immediately said, "Except for Sir Gao's position as a member of the Executive Council and Chairman of the Trade Development Bureau.

In addition to maintaining the same, I also want to assign more important tasks to Sir Gao, but I know that Sir Gao is busy with affairs and can spend much energy on government affairs, so I can't force it, so I'd like to ask Sir Gao to volunteer."

This is quite true. Gao Xian has his own huge business kingdom to be managed, and he has not been in Hong Kong for a year, so he naturally cannot devote all his energy to the affairs of the Hong Kong government. As a member of the Executive Council and trade development

In order to perform his duties, the chairman of the bureau set up a secretary team to handle daily work.

Therefore, the Governor of Hong Kong, Yud, could not assign any errands to Sir Gao, depending on Sir Gao's own wishes.

After thinking for a while, Gao Xian said slowly: "The global economic recession is deepening, but the Federal Reserve's strict monetary contraction policy has never seen any signs of real loosening. I expect that the Latin American economy, which is very dependent on the US dollar, will soon be

There is a serious new problem."

"At that time, as an international financial center, Xiangjiang will inevitably be unable to survive alone. The pressure on the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar will be further increased, which will affect the healthy development of Xiangjiang's international trade."

"So, I am willing to focus more on how Xiangjiang's monetary policy adapts to the current complex international economic situation."

Seeing Gao Xian willing to take on more government affairs and share his worries, the Governor of Hong Kong Youde was very happy and said on the spot, "Then I will make up for it. I will communicate with the Auxiliary Department and the Finance Department. Then, the Governor will join the Administrative Bureau in conjunction with the Administrative Bureau.

Announce."

...

In this way, the meeting between Gao Xian and the Governor Youde at the Governor's Office determined what role Sir Gao will play and what role he plays in the next Hong Kong government.

After the meeting, Gao Xian immediately held a plenary meeting of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau, which is also the subject of the question.

The Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau was established in the mid-1960s and has a history of more than fifteen years. Its responsibility is to create opportunities for the Xiangjiang business community, assist Xiangjiang companies, and expand global businesses.

Zhou Xinian was the first chairman of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau, but after losing the milk company and being old and weak, he was gradually marginalized regardless of whether he was active or passive. Governor MacLeho gave this position.

Gao Qiang, a young and powerful person.

Speaking of which, Gao Xian has served as the second chairman of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau for almost ten years. Under his leadership, the operations of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau have been improving day by day.

Simply put, every time Gaoxian’s commercial tentacles extend into a new economy, the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau will set up an office there to promote economic and trade ties between Xiangjiang and the local area.

One of the contents of this meeting was that the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau set up an office in Chile.

After seeing the Hong Kong Governor changed, Sir Gao was still a member of the Executive Council and the Chairman of the Trade Development Bureau. The directors were very happy. As the saying goes, the birds fly far with the phoenixes, and the leading role played by Gao Xian has made everyone feel dependent.

Many of the members of the Council, the highest decision-making level of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau, are heavyweights in the business community of Xiangjiang. During the brief break during the meeting, many people couldn't wait to get together the dinner after the meeting.

This move is definitely not just about eating, drinking, contacting feelings, but mainly to exchange information under the current severe economic situation.
