Chapter 125: Five Thousand Acres of Land to Build an Airport

"Xiao Baosheng, you're welcome. If there are entrepreneurs like you who come to bother me, the more the better."

"Under your leadership, Governor, it's only a matter of time before a company like mine emerges."

MacLehose smiled and said, "Mr. Bao, what do you want from me this time? What help do you need from the Governor's Office?"

"Mr. Governor, Miracle Group is in big trouble and needs your help."

"Oh, what kind of trouble could possibly stump you, Xiao Baosheng? You've even defeated the Morgan Consortium, a big name on Wall Street."

"Haha, those are just rumors, but this question belongs to the Governor of Hong Kong."

"Really? Tell me what the problem is."

Bao Junyi smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, Miracle Group has created nearly 60,000 jobs for Hong Kong and pays hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in taxes to the Governor's Office every year. We want to bring more jobs and tax revenue to Hong Kong."

"However, the Miracle Group is now growing in size, and the Miracle Industrial Park is unable to meet its needs. Therefore, I hope that the Governor's Office will approve the use of surrounding land for the Miracle Group to develop."

“Didn’t they approve over 500 mu of land before?”

“Yes, it’s still not enough now.”

"Therefore, I hope that the Governor will sell Tseung Kwan O and Hong Kong City to Miracle Group to build an industrial park."

"What?"

MacLehose said in shock, "Did I hear it wrong? Where is it?"

Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "Cannes City and the remaining Tseung Kwan O Central area."

MacLehose said in disbelief, "Bao Junyi, do you know how many acres the two plots of land are in total?"

“I don’t know the exact amount, but it should be over 5,000 acres of land.”

"Wrong, I was planning to say it was 5,866.48 acres."

"Besides, can you use up all this land?"

"Or is it that your Wharf Holdings is entering the real estate industry and wants to develop real estate there?"

At this time, MacLehose looked unhappy and his impression of Bao Junyi began to decline. If he could not give a satisfactory answer, he might be blacklisted in the future.

Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Governor, you also know that the Miracle Group's automotive industry chain, and the automotive-related industries alone, are basically saturated."

"Among them, only a portion of the supply chains formed by dozens of Hong Kong tycoons have now moved in, all because there is no space left."

"That's why I've delayed it until now. I have no other choice but to come to you, Mr. Governor."

MacLehose's expression brightened slightly as he said, "I've heard of this, but what do you want to do with the 5,000 acres?"

"Mr. Governor, I can ensure that those lands will not be used for real estate development."

"So what do you want to do?"

Bao Junyi said helplessly: "It's mainly because Miracle Aviation Power, a subsidiary of Miracle Group, has developed an aircraft engine and needs a testing site."

"Also, Mr. Governor, as you know, a small airport also requires 1,000 acres of land. Furthermore, I also want to build a professional racing track for speed testing."

"After all, you also hope that Hong Kong will develop better and better, and technology will become more advanced."

Bao Junyi's words left MacLehose at a loss for words. Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen of Eagle Country requested that high-tech industries be relocated back to Eagle Country, and specifically mentioned the Miracle Group and Bao Junyi's names.

If he doesn't approve it, then his reputation will be affected if it gets out. If he agrees, he will have a hard time explaining to the Queen of Eagle Country.

When MacLehose had a headache, he suddenly thought: "Mr. Bao, if you want me to approve it, that's fine, but there's one condition."

Bao Junyi asked doubtfully, "Mr. Governor, what are the conditions?"

"It means relocating the R&D and scientific research institutions to Eagle Country and establishing a branch."

"What?"

"impossible!"

MacLehose said helplessly, "Xiao Baosheng, I tell you the truth, Her Majesty the Queen of Eagle Country is hinting that Hong Kong's high-tech companies should relocate back to Eagle Country for development."

"Also, your group and your name are on the list."

"If your company relocates there, it will be personally awarded the title of Justice of the Peace by the Queen, and will also receive strong support from the Eagle Government."

Bao Junyi knew what was going on. It turned out that the Queen of Eagle Country had already started making plans. In case Hong Kong returned, he could relocate high-tech companies in advance, and even attract wealthy people to Eagle Country.

Through some small favors, such as granting titles and honors, which are very common, these zero-cost transactions can attract a large amount of capital to flow back to the Eagle Country and drive the economic development of the Eagle Country.

However, Bao Junyi is not stupid. He knows that the Eagle Country has developed into what it is today. Before he went there, it was a white swan, but after he went there, even its feathers were stripped off.

Bao Junyi declined politely, "Governor, I am very grateful to the Queen for her appreciation, but I am homesick for this land and cannot bear to leave."

At this time, MacLehose's face turned dark. He didn't expect Bao Junyi to be so tough.

"However, I can invest in Eagle Country and acquire businesses there for development. As for relocating the company, I currently have no plans."

MacLehose's complexion improved somewhat, but it did not reach his ideal state. At least it was better than nothing, as he had an explanation to give to the Queen.

He also knew that he couldn't fall out with Bao Junyi now. If he got angry, he might move the company, leaving a mess behind. Then the employment issue would give him a headache for months.

MacLehose forced a smile and said, "Since Xiao Baosheng is in trouble, I will explain the situation to the Queen."

"But, you promised to invest in Eagle Country, so don't break your promise."

"Xiao Baosheng should understand the consequences."

Bao Junyi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Governor, don't worry, I, Bao Junyi, still have my credibility."

"Very good, I can promise you that I will sell you more than 5,800 acres of land."

"However, the Governor's Office will not cover the demolition and compensation. You have to figure it out on your own."

"Yes, but I hope the Governor's Office will provide personnel to coordinate and organize, and Miracle Group will provide funding to advance it together."

"After all, if Miracle Group completes its project sooner, Hong Kong's employment and tax revenue will increase significantly, and it will also give you, Governor, more face in the Eagle Cabinet."

MacLehose smiled and said, "Little Baosheng, you still know how to make requests."

"Okay! I agree to this request. The Governor's Office will fully cooperate with you on the demolition."

After the two finished talking about business, they started chatting about family matters.

It lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon before leaving the Governor's House.

......

At this time, Bao Junyi returned to his office in Miracle Building.

Suddenly, Secretary Qiu Shuzhen knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Mr. Bao, Uncle Fu, the Bao family's housekeeper, just called."

"You're going to go back to the Bao family's old house tonight. Your dad has arranged a family dinner. Let's get together and have some fun."

"Okay, tell Uncle Fu that he will definitely go back tonight."

"OK."

Bao Junyi summoned senior executives including Jia Yuezheng, Jiang Wenlong, Yuan Tianfan, and Charles Walker, and explained that MacLehose had agreed to sell Cannes City and the central area of Tseung Kwan O to Miracle Group for industrial development.

Bao Junyi said, "Old Jia, you will start contacting the people from the Governor's Office tomorrow to coordinate the demolition project process."
