Chapter 523 Home Ownership!

17:30 in the afternoon.

Yang Ming, Zhou Kaixuan, and Lin Dezhong went to the Governor's Mansion by car.

Rolls-Royce has just arrived at the gate of the Governor's Palace.

Mr. and Mrs. McLehose had come out to greet them.

Yang Ming, Zhou Kaixuan, and Lin Dezhong got out of the car, and went in with the Mai Lihao couple.

At this point, it was already dinner time.

In the dining room of the Governor's Mansion.

Yang Ming, Zhou Kaixuan, Lin Dezhong, Mrs. Mai Lihao and his wife finished their dinner first.

Yang Ming and Mai Lihao went to his study to talk about their visit this time.

"Sir Yang, I really admire you for going to the Kowloon Walled City."

In that year, in his third year as governor, he first established ICAC to solve the problems brought about by the Chinese chief inspector and the white police superintendent.

That year they began to send people to raid the Kowloon Walled City.

From 1973 to 1974, many people were checked.However, after Ah Sir left the Kowloon Walled City, the Kowloon Walled City returned to the previous situation, even more serious.

Since then, McLehose didn't want to take care of the three-way zone anymore.

Originally, Yang Ming was awarded the title of Justice of the Peace this time, in his opinion, it was because of Sir Yang's influence.

According to Sir Yang's influence, in 1978, he could be awarded a justice of the peace.

Until last year, after Sir Yang was conferred a knighthood by the Queen, he was conferred a Justice of the Peace by the Government House this year.

Sir Yang inspected the Kowloon Walled City as a justice of the peace.

Regarding the situation of Sir Yang's inspection of the Kowloon Walled City, it had already been on the news. In the afternoon, Mai Lihao had already read it.

"Mr. Governor, in fact, I have heard about the situation in the Kowloon Walled City for a long time, and I have always been very curious. It was the first time I actually went to see it today. After reading it, I was very shocked."

Yang Ming told about the situation inside the Kowloon Walled City.

Of course McLehose knew it, but he couldn't do anything about it.

In particular, after a steady stream of new immigrants from China came in, many people poured into the Kowloon Walled City.

Many of these people are black households, and they didn't even get Xiangjiang's ID card, so what are the identities of those people?
Whether it belongs to China or Xiangjiang, Mai Lihao doesn't know.

"Sir Yang, how do you want to deal with it?"

"About the situation in the Kowloon Walled City, what I have seen has the following points against them."

Including Yang Ming's proposal to establish more primary schools, middle schools, and technical schools.

"Mr. Governor, for these, I am not only targeting the children in the Kowloon Walled City who did not study, but also many children who have immigrated to Xiangjiang. I hope that they can 100% enroll in schools, so as to avoid more These kids become little punks who do nothing, or go astray."

McLehose nodded.

He also supports education.

"Sir Yang, I am very supportive of education. In this regard, I can let the Governor's Office financially support part of it."

Xiangjiang's education is not 100%, some of them go to public schools, and more go to private schools.

Some private schools, like noble schools, are attended by children from middle class or wealthy families in Xiangjiang.

There are also some rich people who support or study temporarily in the name of their hometown associations. Like these, they may not charge any tuition fees.

In other words, the real support of the Government House is actually those of the public schools.

In 1978, MacLehose implemented the nine-year free education policy, and all children aged 6 to 15 must receive education.

Today, the primary and secondary education plans proposed by Yang Ming, and even technical schools, are still very large.

As the governor's office, it can only support part of it, and the rest can only be prepared by the imperial group itself.

"In addition to basic education, I plan to establish three higher private universities in Xiangjiang."

When Maris learned that Sir Yang invested 1 million US dollars to establish Oriental University, Oriental University of Technology, and Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology, Maris was shocked and speechless.

Nowadays, there are already several colleges and universities. With the skyrocketing population of Xiangjiang, it is far from enough in his opinion.

Mai Lihao did not expect that Sir Yang actually supported three universities at one time and invested 20 million U.S. dollars, which is already nearly [-] billion Hong Kong dollars. I am afraid that Sir Yang alone is capable of doing these things in Xiangjiang.

The Governor's Office also supports Yang Ming's investment in a high-level private university, but hopes to communicate with Country Y.

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Governor, I hope that when these three schools are established, they can introduce the education model of universities in country Y, including the introduction of professors from famous universities in country Y, such as Oxford University, Cambridge University, Imperial College of Technology, and London College. Taught in three universities."

Hiring professors from these universities was originally part of Yang Ming's plan.

This also requires good communication with London.

McLehose was a little surprised.

At this time, they regarded Yang Ming as one of their own, and education was very important to them. From their point of view, it was also a part of them.

"Sir Yang, I fully support it."

After hearing what Mai Lihao said, Yang Ming knew that there was nothing else.The rest include the problem of running water in the Kowloon Walled City, electricity problems, etc., these are nothing.

That is, it is about the residence of the ordinary income class in the Kowloon Walled City.

In the mid-70s, some middle-class citizens did not want to live in poor-quality public housing, but they could not afford to pay for private housing. In view of this, MacLehose launched the "Home Ownership" scheme in 1978.

But now those are the real low-income class in Xiangjiang, hundreds of thousands of ordinary-income class living in cage houses.

Because it was in conflict with the interests of Xiangjiang real estate developers, and Xiangjiang's economy was kidnapped by the real estate industry, Mai Lihao really had no way to solve it.

"Sir Yang, I really can't help you with what you said."

The housing problem of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people?

How can he solve it?

The rent of public housing is also very high, which is not affordable for those residents living in cage houses.

The middle class in Xiangjiang looked down on public housing and couldn't afford high-end luxury houses, so the home ownership proposed by McLehose came into being.

In 1978, the first batch of home ownership housing estates were officially launched. They were Yue Lai Court in Kwai Chung, Shun Chi Court in Kwun Tong, Shan Chui Court in Chai Wan, Chun Man Court in Ho Man Tin, Yu Fai Court in Aberdeen and Sui Wo Court in Sha Tin , the selling price of these units was about HK$12 at the time.

Even HK$12 is certainly a lot of money for those who live in cage houses.Therefore, for this group of people, Mai Lihao really has no choice, and there are many interests involved.

Now, Sir Yang actually brought it up with him.

"Sir Yang, you also know that the gap between the rich and the poor in Xiangjiang is very large, the rich are very rich, and the poor are very poor, but the hundreds of thousands of residents living in cage houses are basically new immigrants, and it is difficult for me to solve them. these questions."

In Yang Ming's opinion, among so many governors in Xiangjiang, Mai Lihao is indeed a more capable governor, but he really cannot solve so many interests issues involved.
