"Brother Dong, come on, watch TV. A big event is happening in London!" Yazi rushed into Lei Weidong's office like the wind. Without saying a word, he turned on the TV in the room and tuned it to the ATV news channel.
"Why is this movie being played on the news channel, or is it a war movie?" Lei Weidong asked knowingly as he watched countless tongues of fire rising into the sky on the TV, flashing bright lights across the sky, making the whole sky turn red.
"Brother Dong, this is not a movie, this is a real thing. Just now, England was attacked by an army of unknown origin. Not only London but the whole of England was in chaos.
Eagle Nation's bases in these areas were all attacked by missiles.
The picture we are seeing now is the attack on the Portsmouth Naval Base, which was photographed by reporters in Portsmouth Harbor and sent to the world. "
Meiko pointed to the TV screen and said, "It is said that this attack was very violent, even more powerful than the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II. Several aircraft carriers owned by Eagle Country were all severely damaged and set on fire."
"Go and investigate. I want to know who attacked the Eagle Country and how much damage the Eagle Country suffered. This is crucial to our next work."
After hearing what Yazi said about the attack on Eagle Country, Lei Weidong stood up and pointed at the TV.
"I have asked people to collect information. However, Brother Dong, our power in Eagle Country is not good enough. We may not be able to investigate detailed information. You'd better ask the mainland. Their intelligence capabilities are much stronger than ours." Ting Lei Wei Dong asked him to investigate, Ya Zi complained.
"I'll call Yang Jianhua!" Lei Weidong nodded.
——
A few days later!
Lei Weidong received a call from Yang Jianhua.
"Sir Lei, the superiors agree with your plan to demolish the Kowloon Walled City, but they require that the interests of the residents of the Kowloon Walled City be ensured and the appearance should not be too ugly."
"Sister Yang, don't worry. If I were an ordinary capitalist, I would definitely squeeze the interests of the people, but I am the richest man in the world, and money is just a number to me.
It doesn't matter whether I make more or less. Now I value reputation more. I will definitely take care of the interests of ordinary residents of the Kowloon Walled City this time. "
Lei Weidong held the phone and smiled, "Can I ask about the situation in London? Who attacked Eagle Country? What was the loss of Eagle Country in this attack?"
"How can you not know about the attack? I heard that Yazi sent many people to Europe to collect information." Yang Jianhua asked rhetorically.
"No matter how many people we send, they can't be as good as you. What Yazi collected is just ordinary information. I only know that in this attack, Ying Guoguo suffered heavy losses. I don't know how heavy it was. Ying Guoguo is here." The confidentiality is very strict and cannot be collected at all.”
"It won't work if it's not strict. Ying Guoguo lost so much this time that he even lost his pants." When talking about Ying Guoguo's losses, Yang Jianhua said with schadenfreude in his tone.
"The navy and air force of Eagle Country suffered a devastating blow. As for the warships, only the submarines were lucky because they escaped underwater, but the surface ships could not.
Not only were all three aircraft carriers sunk, cruisers, destroyers, and frigates also suffered heavy losses, and more than 80% of their surface ships were lost in combat.
What's even more unfortunate is that the shipyard was also attacked, causing Ying Guoguo to lose the ability to repair warships in a short period of time. Unless Ying Guojiang helps, or even if Ying Guoguo is given twenty years, he will not be able to restore the navy's combat effectiveness. "
"What about the Air Force?"
"The same goes for the Air Force. The attackers this time were equipped with a full set of American equipment. Not only were the aircraft powerful, but the anti-aircraft missiles were also extremely powerful. The Eagle Country's aircraft, whether they were air support or parked on the ground, were all destroyed, and they were parked on the ground. The Scottish plane escaped unharmed."
"They were all destroyed. American equipment. Sister Yang, do you mean the attackers were Americans, causing them to destroy the armed forces of the Eagle Country?" Lei Weidong kicked hard and asked in a low voice.
"Judging from the equipment, skin color and combat effectiveness of the attackers, they should be old American combat troops, probably the most elite First Marine Division and Cavalry Division.
It’s just that the Americans refused to admit it, saying that all their troops were on standby locally, and the 1st Marine Division and the Cavalry Division never left the mainland.
Sir Lei, does this matter have something to do with you? "Yang Jianhua suddenly changed the topic.
"It has something to do with me, how is it possible?" Lei Weidong shook his head and said in a positive tone, "Sister Yang, although I am rich and the richest man in the world, my power is pitifully small compared to the country.
If I were in Maoxiong, I could spend some money and hire some soldiers, because many people there don't have enough to eat.
But the army with American equipment!
The little money I have is not enough for them to live between their teeth. "
"I also know that this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just that this army appeared too suddenly. Did you know that they not only attacked the military facilities of the Eagle Country, but also destroyed nearly half of the industry of the Eagle Country people?
He even robbed the underground vault of the Bank of England and wiped out all the gold inside, just like the robbery of HSBC Bank some time ago.
In short, the Eagle Country suffered a big loss this time. If it hadn't been for retaining the nuclear submarine force, it is estimated that it would not even be able to maintain its status among the five major powers. "
"I don't care whether Eagle Country can maintain its status as one of the five major powers. I only care that Eagle Country has suffered such heavy losses and it is almost impossible to return to Xiangjiang."
Lei Weidong smiled broadly and said, "I can be more drastic in reforming Xiangjiang and promote the construction of the northern metropolitan area."
"In the construction of the northern metropolitan area, you are ready to have a showdown with those real estate tycoons." Yang Jianhua said.
"Yes, the opportunity will not come again when it is too late. I will take advantage of the favorable opportunity of having the power and military control in my hands to clear the obstacles encountered in the plan. After the military control is over, the new chief executive will be able to follow the procedures step by step. However, This requires state support." Lei Weidong asked:
“Will the country support me?”
"Of course we will support it. Unlike the ghosts, we not only care about the lives of the upper class rich, but also care about the lives of the lower class people, improve their living environment, eliminate the backward and cruel phenomenon of cage houses from Hong Kong, and cannot allow the city to become polarized. The divisions are too severe.”
Yang Jianhua nodded and expressed his support for Lei Weidong's reforms in Xiangjiang.
"When are you going to take action against Kowloon Walled City?" Yang Jianhua asked.
"I made an appointment with Huo Daheng and others in the afternoon, and we will start after we have negotiated with them." Lei Weidong said with a smile.
"Where's Li Chaoren, don't you want to date them?" Yang Jianhua asked.
The forces in Xiangjiang can be roughly divided into three parts, the mainland, Guilao and local forces in Xiangjiang.
Not to mention the power of the ghosts. With the Governor's Mansion reduced to ashes, the mainland of Eagle Country was attacked by unknown forces and left half dead. The ghosts' presence in Xiangjiang can be said to be reduced to the lowest, with only Li Chaoren and a few others left to serve them. Waving the flag and shouting.
In this case, as long as there is support from the mainland and local forces, Gui Lao's wishes can be ignored, and there is no need to invite Li Chaoren and others.
Needless to say, Yang Jianhua can fully represent the mainland.
Local power!
First of all, Lei Weidong is the largest representative of the local forces, and his words represent the meaning of the local forces to a certain extent.
As long as Lei Weidong himself agrees, it will be enough to win over Huo Daheng and other patriotic businessmen.
As for how to win over people like Liang Huo Tycoon.
It's very simple, just give them a piece of the cake when you divide it.
As for where the cake comes from!
Of course, the northern metropolitan area will be developed, or the Kowloon Walled City will be turned into a cake.
In the eyes of many people, the dirty and messy Kowloon Walled City is actually a treasure.
Because it is close to Kai Tak Airport, residents living in Kowloon Walled City can enjoy the scene of planes flying overhead at low altitude every day.
If we say that the Kowloon Walled City is demolished and built into a shopping mall and hotel supporting the airport, the profits will be staggering, and it is not enough to describe it as making a fortune every day.
It's a pity that Kowloon Walled City is a tough place.
It’s not that real estate developers have paid attention to the Kowloon Walled City in recent years. It’s just that after understanding the situation of the Kowloon Walled City, they ran faster than a rabbit.
Because there are too many people in the Kowloon Walled City. Although the Kowloon Walled City only covers an area of 26,700 square meters, there are more than 50,000 residents living in the Kowloon Walled City.
It is easy to demolish the Kowloon Walled City. It can be reduced to rubble in an hour with explosives, but it is a big trouble to arrange the residence of tens of thousands of people.
No matter how people outside the city demonize the Walled City, for the people inside the city, this is their home and destination.
The Chinese value their home very much and will risk everything to protect their home.
This resulted in the people of Kowloon Walled City being very united when facing outsiders. If someone came to demolish the city, thousands of strong men could gather in Kowloon Walled City to stop them.
Real estate developers do not have such power unless government departments contribute.
——
"Leisheng!"
"Director Lei!"
"Boss Lei!"
Early the next morning, Lei Weidong drove to a private club in Central and entered a private room. As soon as he entered the private room, several people who had been waiting in the private room stood up to say hello to Lei Weidong.
Lei Weidong responded to everyone with his hands clasped in fists.
"Lei Sheng, please drink tea!" After some chilling, Lei Weidong found a seat and sat down. Mr. Dong beside him picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lei Weidong.
"Mr. Dong, I don't dare to accept this tea from you. I will be your soldier in the future. How can I let you pour me tea?" Seeing Mr. Dong pouring tea for himself, Lei Weidong quickly stood up to express his gratitude and signaled that he could come. .
"Lei Sheng, if you say that, you are out of touch." Mr. Dong shook his head, motioned to Lei Weidong not to stop him, poured a full cup of Longjing tea for Lei Weidong with a teapot, and said:
"I was able to become this official only because of your support. If you hadn't cut through the mess quickly and understood Gui Lao's power in Xiangjiang, I would not be safe even if I were to sit in this position in the future."
"I just did what I should do, Mr. Dong, you are too polite." Lei Weidong knew that Mr. Dong was not lying. In real time and space, why did Mr. Dong resign after only serving one term?
A key reason is that Gui Lao has too much influence in Xiangjiang.
They used newspapers, television and other means to force Mr. Dong. In addition, Xiangjiang encountered a bubble crisis and infectious diseases. Under internal and external troubles, Mr. Dong had to resign and made the decision to resign.
"You're welcome. Although it's your job, you are the only one who dares to do it in Xiangjiang, so I dedicate this tea to you and you must drink it." Mr. Dong shook his head and brought the tea to Lei Weidong.
"Mr. Dong is right, Lei Sheng, you should drink this cup of tea." Mr. Huo on the side said, "This is not a tribute from him alone, but a tribute to you on behalf of the people of Xiangjiang."
"Yes, Lei Sheng, if you don't talk about it, let's talk about the societies. After Xiangjiang opened, there have been dozens of governors and police chiefs. None of them have the courage like you to attack the hinterland of the societies and return Xiangjiang to the Nanning society. .”
Shao Daheng said that Mr. Huo was right and he deserved this cup of tea.
"Since everyone said so, I'll do it." Lei Weidong took the tea cup and drank it in one breath.
"Mr. Lei, please invite everyone over today. Do you have something big to announce?" Huo Daheng got up and locked the box, then turned to watch Lei Weidong arrive.
"Yes!"
Lei Weidong nodded, looked around at the people in the room and said, "I invite you here today because I want to discuss a business with you."
"Business!" Huo Daheng and others looked at each other and nodded.
bother you for something!
When Lei Weidong invited everyone to drink tea and specially brought Mr. Dong here, Mr. Huo and others realized that there was serious business. Lei Weidong invited everyone here not for tea, but because he had something to talk about.
"Can I ask what the business is?" Huo Daheng asked, holding the tea cup and taking a sip.
"It's about the land!" Lei Weidong picked up the apple on the coffee table and started to nibble on it.
"Land, is that land?" When Lei Weidong mentioned land, the eyes of everyone present gleamed.
There is no way, Xiangjiang has a lot of people but little land, and the Land Office plans very little land every year. As a result, everyone has a serious shortage of inventory, and they have to hold on to the property and be reluctant to sell it, and make profits by extending the development time.
Although the District Office has not auctioned plots recently!
But now it is under military control, and Lei Weidong is in charge. If he uses his power to launch several plots of land during the period of military control, it can be said to be completely legal and reasonable.
I just don’t know how to get the first bite of cake.
"It's Kowloon Walled City!" Lei Weidong smiled and pointed to the west.
"Kowloon Walled City!" Huo Daheng and others looked at each other, not believing their ears. Lei Weidong was talking about Kowloon Walled City.
Yes, this land is very good because it is close to Kai Tak Airport and has a huge and fixed passenger flow. If it can be developed, it will definitely be a profitable deal.
But imagine the 50,000 residents of Kowloon Walled City. If Kowloon Walled City was really delicious, how could they still be there today?
If you are restless!
As early as 1987, the Mainland and Gui Lao had held discussions on the issue of the Kowloon Walled City. The discussion had been going on for several years with no results because it was too difficult to resettle the residents of the Walled City.
"I have received approval from the mainland to demolish the Kowloon Walled City. The time is set for the day when Operation Thunder ends. Thousands of people will be mobilized to level the Kowloon Walled City with the cooperation of the construction team." Lei Weidong told the mainland I took out the instructions given.
"Lei Sheng, with your power, if you really want to demolish the Kowloon Walled City, even if there are only 50,000 villagers in the Kowloon Walled City, even 100,000 people will not be able to stop you.
But have you figured out how to relocate these 50,000 people? "
