Chapter 156 Big Project

The tranquility of Hong Kong was suddenly broken by a fire in winter. The fire in Tung Tau Village, Kowloon, directly left 10,000 to 20,000 people homeless, shocked all residents of Hong Kong, and became the hottest topic in Hong Kong at that time.

When Suning received the news that night, he immediately rushed back to Dongtou Village and saw a huge fire that lit up half of the night sky red.

Seeing Suning's arrival, Lei Luo's family members showed excitement. Lei Luo's younger brother pulled Suning and said excitedly, "Brother Ning, you are finally here?

Come and see my dad?
He got hit on the leg by falling wood?"

"Is everyone else okay?"

"Everyone else is fine! Only my dad is injured!"

"Don't worry, brother! I'll drive you to the hospital right now!"

"Thank you, Brother Ning!
Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we really don’t know what to do.”

Suning first had the injured Lei Luo's father carried to his car, then looked at the rest of Lei Luo's family, "Why don't you all go to my house now? Axia is waiting for you at home!"

"Brother Ning, do you want me to go with you to take my dad to the hospital?"

"No need! You're tired too!

Go back and rest quickly!"

Seeing Suning driving their father to the hospital, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and started rushing towards Suning's home.

Halfway through the walk, he saw Lei Luo, who had rushed over after hearing the news. "Brother, are you all okay?"

"Brother, we are all fine!
Our dad's leg was seriously injured!
Brother Ning has already driven him to the hospital!"

After hearing his brother's explanation, Lei Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay! I was so scared! Where are you going now?"

"Brother Ning asked us to stay at his house temporarily!"

"Alright! You guys go ahead! I'll go to the hospital to see our dad first!"

The impact of this fire was too great. Since Dongtou Village mainly consists of wooden houses, many villagers suffered heavy losses. Even Suning’s wooden house was not spared.

Ah Xia's parents, who were in Yau Tsim Mong, also heard the news of the fire in Tung Tau Village, and felt a little relieved.

"Honey, it's a good thing we moved to Yau Tsim Mong early!
Otherwise we will be in trouble too!"

"Yeah! I'm still panicking now!"

Suning, who came from later generations, was not clear about this history, and even if he did, he would be powerless to do anything about it. After all, sometimes personal abilities are limited.

Based on my experience from the new century, the British Hong Kong government will soon come forward to provide disaster relief. When they organize a donation campaign, I will put in more effort and donate more money.

But something happened that shocked Suning. The British Hong Kong government turned a blind eye to the fire in Tung Tau Village, Kowloon. Only some non-governmental organizations came up to raise funds, and that was all.

In 52, seeing that the British Hong Kong government still did nothing, Suning participated in several private fundraising activities in the name of his own company and wanted to make some other efforts, such as buying some food and quilts to donate.

While Suning was busy with his company's affairs and trying to find ways to raise funds for disaster relief, an unexpected person came to visit him.

"Mr. Su, I am Lu Bing, the chairman of the Dongtou Village Self-Help Association."

"Huh? Hello, Chairman Lu!" Su Ning was a little confused and shook hands with Lu Bing politely.

"Mr. Su, I'm here this time on behalf of the villagers of Dongtou Village. I want to ask Mr. Su's Su Real Estate to help rebuild Dongtou Village?" Seeing Su Ning's confusion, Lu Bing explained.

"reconstruction?"

“Yes! The villagers of Dongtou Village like your company’s “Home Garden” community very much.

After a vote by the villagers, they unanimously decided to hand over the reconstruction work to your Su Real Estate."

“Haha, I feel very honored to be trusted by Dongtou Village!
"But this time, nearly 20,000 people were affected, which means just over 4,000 households! If we were to build a residential building like the one in "Home Garden," we'd need to construct 40 buildings, and if we added elevators, it would be a huge undertaking!" Suning roughly calculated the entire project and was shocked.

"Huh? We all know what Mr. Su said!
Our Tung Tau Village has just received nearly 200 million in donations from the mainland, and with the addition of donations from the public in Hong Kong, we should be able to solve some of the problems!"

"Donations from the mainland?" Suning was really shocked. It seems that when facing difficulties, family members are still reliable.

"Yes!"

The reconstruction of Dongtou Village is a very troublesome matter, involving too many things, and many things are very complicated. Originally, Suning intended not to get involved.

Seeing the displaced victims, Suning felt a little bit sorry. At the same time, the reconstruction project of Dongtou Village was also a big project. If Su's Real Estate could complete it successfully, it would allow Su's Real Estate to make a qualitative leap.

"Chairman Lu, I have a plan. Would you like to consider it?"

"Mr. Su, please speak?" Lu Bing was somewhat delighted, as this meant that Suning was willing to accept the reconstruction of the mess in Dongtou Village.

"The plan is to expropriate the land in Dongtou Village in the name of our Su's Real Estate and then build a new community."

“Because the current housing price in Hong Kong is around 310 square meters, we can offer the villagers in Tung Tau Village an ultra-low price of 110 square meters.

And there is a limit of fifteen square meters per person!

In this way, villagers can live in elevator-equipped villas like those in "Rujia Garden" without spending much money!

"Are you serious, Mr. Su?" Lu Bing looked at Su Ning in front of him with a surprised expression.

"Of course! But we need to sign a collection contract with every villager.

After all, legal procedures can save a lot of unnecessary trouble!"

"Mr. Su, thank you so much!
We also understand the contract issue!
After all, everything needs to be reasonable and legal!"

“Well! Since Chairman Lu has no objection to Su’s plan.

I will send company employees to follow up on this matter!
After the contract is signed, Su's Real Estate will suspend other projects and focus on completing the Dongtou Village reconstruction project, which should be completed within eight months."

"No objections! I will tell the villagers this good news as soon as possible!"

"Haha, Chairman Lu, different people have different opinions on the same thing!

If you, the villagers of Dongtou Village and the Self-Help Association, have any objections to this matter, you can regret it before the contract is signed!"

"Mr. Su, you really worry too much!

Your company has offered such favorable terms.

How could we not be satisfied? "

"Haha, I hope so!"

Suning has a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature. Building more than 40 residential buildings to accommodate the villagers is not an easy task.

If Su's Real Estate achieves a breakthrough with the Dongtou Village reconstruction project, it will be difficult to avoid the envy of some people with ulterior motives. If some discordant voices arise, it will also be very troublesome.

Therefore, Suning insisted on signing a contract with every villager, not just with the self-help association, because only in this way would it be legal and compliant.

Soon Lu Bing sent back the news that the villagers of Dongtou Village had no objections, and then Suning asked someone to prepare the contract.

After signing the land expropriation contract with all the villagers, Suning arranged for its employees to submit applications and reports to the British Hong Kong government, plugging all loopholes that might lead to accidents.

Because Michelle was in the British Hong Kong government, and the Tung Tau Village reconstruction project was beneficial to the British Hong Kong government, it was easily passed.
