Chapter 959: The Reputation of the New Immigrants
Entering August, the most important thing that Xiangjiang people are most concerned about is naturally housing prices.
Although various policies show that the government wants to suppress housing prices, the price of land in Xiangjiang has been lowered, but the commercial houses that have been completed or are under construction have not been reduced at all.
Even real estate companies such as Eagle Monarch and Hopewell have good real estate openings in their hands, and they are surrounded by countless people to snap up, and they have also risen a little bit.
It's not that the government of Xiangjiang doesn't want to take care of it.
It's just that the policies they came up with before were already very harsh.
At present, most real estate developers are keeping an eye on the government, and once the strict regulations are introduced in a short period of time, the Xiangjiang government is also worried that the real estate market will collapse.
The collapse of the real estate market not only represents the loss of thousands of people unemployed and their houses, but also represents more unemployment and livelihood problems in the Xiangjiang society, and may even cause chaos.
Therefore, the Xiangjiang government saw that the banks and developers had already made a lot of noise, and they did not dare to do it again for a while.
Therefore, this real estate bailout is a double-edged sword, both sides may be harmed, and both sides have scruples.
In addition to house prices, more elites are paying close attention to the movements in the UK.
In April last year, the British government issued its annual government white paper, which listed the amendments to the British nationality law that the government planned to make.
After the plan came out, it was indeed written that these overseas jurisdictions might be subject to more stringent relocation policies.
Britain and Canada are the first places for the people of Hong Kong, and if this is stuck, it will be really troublesome.
Because the rich people in Xiangjiang do not have much confidence in the future, they all want to live in a stable and peaceful place, if Britain and Canada do not, they will let them who have been cultivated in European culture for so many decades go to live in a completely unfamiliar place, which is too unfavorable.
Therefore, from February and March last year to August now, the number of people in Xiangjiang has increased dramatically, which is two or three times that of previous years, reaching about 30,000 people!
That's a terrifying statistic!
These immigrants are all middle- and upper-income families in Xiangjiang, and they are the main body of Xiangjiang society!
And what is the total number of people in Xiangjiang?
It's only 6 million!
The number of middle and upper class is at most 300,000 households, about 1 million, and now they are leaving a tenth of them in one breath.
As a result, in early August this year, news came from the British side that the "British Nationality Bill 1981" was ready to be discussed in the cabinet, and under the strong support of the Prime Minister Mrs. Thatcher, the chances of passing it were very good.
Last year's white paper was the first time, and now it is about to reach the stage of legislation, and those people in Xiangjiang who are waiting and watching are really disappointed and scolded.
As a result, starting from this month, the major migrant intermediary companies have ushered in another period of business upsurge.
Liang Fengyi's Fengyi Theo Migration Consulting Company has also won the favor of many middle-class families with its good reputation and high success rate, and it is the norm for employees to work 14 hours a day.
It can be said that the large increase in the number of immigrants from last year to this year is also an important reason why the Xiangjiang government does not dare to make great efforts to rectify housing prices.
Seeing that the wealthy people continue to move out, what if you suppress housing prices too hard and they run faster?
Yin Jun didn't have any opinion on this, and when the reporter asked this question, he also said "If you want to go, you can go, Xiangjiang will not miss these people whose hearts have left, and Xiangjiang will definitely be more prosperous than before, so that they regret their decision today", which caused a lot of discussion.
Most of the ordinary people in Xiangjiang are naturally very supportive of Yin Jun.
They can't leave if they want to, of course, they are not willing to be "abandoned" by this group of rich people in Xiangjiang.
Now hearing that Yin Jun is optimistic about the future of Xiangjiang, the people of Xiangjiang, who have always had a fascination with Yin Jun, seem to have found the backbone of their hearts all of a sudden.
"Ah, Boss Shen, you move the people, we don't have the money to move the people, not to mention that Jun Shao said it, Xiangjiang will be better! Do you say I believe you, or do you believe Jun Shao?"
"Tsk, the Yu family is gone, it's okay to leave, leave the job opportunity to us! Don't panic, even a genius like Junshao has been left, why can't we stay?"
"Don't you watch the news? Junshao has bought two companies in Hollywood, and none of them have settled in the United States, so what are you going to do?"
"Actually, if you take a closer look, it's not just Jun Shao, the rest of the rich people, Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Dong Jia, Xu Jia...... Why don't the super-rich people in Xiangjiang move to the people? Isn't it because they, like Jun Shao, think that the future of Xiangjiang will be better?"
“……”
The ordinary people speak loudly, and it is inevitable that they will cheer themselves up.
But Yin Jun's remarks must also have the effect of stabilizing the morale of the military, which makes MacLehose's impression of Yin Jun better.
Moreover, Yin Jun also did something that made MacLehose very interested.
That is to actively promote the recent migration of the mainland people from Hong Kong to Australia.
In this world, no one is a fool.
MacLehose has long been aware that in the wave of frenzied migration from the beginning of last year to October, there is the shadow of Yin Jun.
To be honest, he didn't care about himself, because the people who came over were all young and strong men and women, and there was still a lot of promotion for the slightly decrepit atmosphere of Xiangjiang.
And MacLehose is a very respectful person for the law.
Since the law of Xiangjiang stipulates that people who arrive in Xiangjiang City can get an ID card, then when they arrive, they are protected by the law, so why do you care how they came to do it?
But the only thing that is a little troublesome is that there are too many people sent by Yin Jun, at least 100,000 people are sent by him.
Add in those other immigrants who came with them, other ways, good guys, 400-450,000 people in one go, plus their family members who will come in the future, it's too much.
It's not that there is not enough space, and the New Territories can accommodate another 1 million people.
MacLehose is worried about the impact of so many people on the working environment of Hong Kong.
For a while, where did Xiangjiang find so many jobs for them?
Fortunately, Yin Jun is indeed a smart person and a kind person, he did not send them over and left them alone, but actively recruited them into the Kirin Toy Factory, Kirin Construction Company, Kirin Printing Factory, etc., accommodating 20,000 or 30,000 people in one go, which is a good way to reduce the pressure on the government.
In addition, the government is constantly working on the infrastructure of the New Territories, so these people have jobs to do.
However, in the long run, after two or three years, after the completion of the project, the employment pressure is still high.
Now that the people are constantly moving out, they can free up a lot of empty seats.
It's just that it's definitely not directly for the new Xiangjiang people, it's only the people from the middle and lower levels of the previous Xiangjiang who go up, and then they take the jobs and posts of this group of people, so it's called succession.
In this way, it can provide about 20,000 jobs a year, and in a few years, the jobs of more than 100,000 people can be completed.
But......
MacLehose would rather these new immigrants not do these jobs for the time being.
The elite class in any place is an important force in the local economy and stability, and once they leave, it will definitely be a big blow to the economy of Xiangjiang.
But he had no way to stop people from looking for a better life, so he could only sulk in his heart.
From here, it can be seen that MacLehose is not just a good governor, but a good person.
During this time, the depressed MacLehose also found good news.
Yin Jun is actively operating the second batch of municipal engineering personnel to Australia, and the manpower of this batch will be at least more than 5,000 people!
If we can continue to send away the new immigrants and send tens of thousands more, then even their families will be more than 100,000, which is a great thing for the job pressure in Xiangjiang!
For this reason, he hurriedly called the relevant deployment and asked them to give the green light and actively assist in the procedures.
Yin Jun's organization moves the people, what is going on?
In fact, it is very simple, and the good reputation has fermented.
More than 800 people sent to Western Australia after the Spring Festival in February, under the leadership of Shen Ben, all joined Wankang Company, specializing in municipal engineering, electricity, hydropower, gas transmission and so on.
If they have a lot of free time, there are several farms and ranches in Western Australia for them to grow vegetables or raise livestock.
Shen Ben is an absolutely smart person.
He doesn't play his cards according to the norm at all.
In Australia, where you replace the light bulb, if you don't call a professional to replace it, it is illegal, and these skilled craftsmen play a big role.
Wankang company to take over the business, for example, if your water pipe is broken, call them to go, they not only replace your broken water pipe for you, but also help you repair all the water pipes at home for free, if there is a problem, you can repair it without spending money, if you want to spend money, you can do it, if you want, just give some spare parts cost.
The same is true for electrical appliances and gas.
What's even more exaggerated is that in the winter of Western Australia, that is, the summer on the Xiangjiang side, when the road was closed by heavy snow, they also went to provide door-to-door service to customers at the same time, and at the same time, they finished the work, and by the way, they cleared the snow on the road and roof of the house for free.
And the speed of people's work is absolutely fast.
Whether you're calling in the morning, afternoon, or evening, or late at night, make sure you're over in an hour at the latest.
When has this group of vulgar people in Western Australia ever seen such a comprehensive and considerate home-based service?
I was stunned!
As a result, word of mouth has spread rapidly.
For a time, Wankang's business was very good, and as early as May, it was to the point where it was too busy.
For this reason, the government of Western Australia immediately called Xiangjiang and allowed Wankang Company to apply for another 500 people to go to Western Australia for work dispatch visas on the grounds of special talents, but privately guaranteed to get immigration visas in six months at most.
Shen Ben saw that it was so prosperous, and after he arrived at the end of May, regardless of whether he had enough manpower, he immediately gritted his teeth and expanded his business scope by 100 kilometers again.
Okay.
Now the reputation is even better, and the northwest corner of Western Australia has a radius of 200 kilometers, and all of them only recognize the brand of Wankang Company.
Even the local town and county governments want to hire them to do some work in underground waterways, sludge cleanup, offshore and marine pollution prevention operations, and public facilities that Australians are not willing to do.
It's a pity that there are more than 1,300 people in the family, and they are too busy to meet the current orders, how can they add business?
