Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

"There are indeed very few reports from Hong Kong. I guess Sister Wanqiu is in charge of this matter." Bai Qingxia said.

"What's going on? What are you going to do?" Peng Wanhua asked.

"It is said that the media, finance, technology, culture and education sectors want to combine news propaganda with financial strategy, cultural tourism, and talent introduction to form a more powerful publicity plan and layout." Bai Qingxia replied.

Upon hearing this, Peng Wanhua immediately understood and nodded.

Joining the WTO has both advantages and disadvantages for Hong Kong.

The advantage is naturally development, and the disadvantage is naturally that the economy next door is about to take off, and the status of this place as a financial center will be affected.

Apart from anything else, the city of Shanghai alone has the potential to become a world financial center.

In this way, Hong Kong will definitely be affected.

The general trend is unstoppable, and how to go with the flow is what multiple divisions and think tanks under Peng Wanhua's team are considering.

"What plans do you have for attracting talent?" Peng Wanhua asked.

If Hong Kong wants to develop, continuous talent is the foundation of development.

This is what he is concerned about.

Bai Qingxia clicked on a document in the handheld game console and said, "All major industries are making demands, including finance, the Internet, electronic information, real estate, energy, biomedicine, etc."

"According to the preliminary plan reached by Sister Zhou Yun and several sectors, the total planned population of Hong Kong will reach 1600 million to 1700 million in the next years."

"The current population is 950 million. In the next 20 years, it is expected to absorb 20 to 50 people each year. At the same time, the infrastructure and supporting facilities will be promoted simultaneously."

Attracting talents is not just a slogan; the most important thing is to attract talents and enable them to live and work in peace and contentment.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic, and there must also be suitable industries and supporting facilities, otherwise you will not be able to stay.

For now, food, clothing and housing are not a problem, but traffic congestion is a big trouble.

Especially the three tunnels in and out of Hong Kong Island, which are extremely congested every day.

In order to ease traffic pressure, the Hong Kong government has implemented a series of measures such as traffic restrictions and road optimization, but the effect is limited.

The Hong Kong government is currently planning to expand the construction of new towns such as Yuen Long and North District bordering Pengcheng.

Once completed, it will not only be able to accommodate the additional population and industries, but also complement the advantages of Shenzhen.

After all, Hong Kong and Shenzhen are separated by only a river.

In the previous life, Hong Kong had always revolved around Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula, with no intention of developing Yuen Long and the North District.

Especially in the northern area, it is basically all farmland when viewed from Pengcheng.

To be honest, it's a bit lacking in scope.

Later, as Hong Kong's population was aging and there was a serious shortage of labor, it began to attract young people from Shenzhen under the name of talent introduction.

The result is not without effect, but it is better than nothing.

The layout is too small.

With such a situation, how can it maintain its status as a world financial center?

You should know that in the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong's total GDP and per capita GDP were higher than Singapore's.

As a result, just a few years into the 21st century, it was overtaken by Singapore.

The per capita GDP of the latter is only 60% of Singapore's.

In this life, thanks to the economic and political influence of Peng Wanhua's team, Hong Kong's population has greatly increased compared to the previous life.

Under his planning, Hong Kong gradually solved many critical problems, including the development of a single industry, the introduction of international talents, high housing prices, etc.

At present, Hong Kong's per capita GDP is still far ahead of Singapore.

You still have to maintain it later.

In addition to the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, what kind of industries are needed to retain talent?

It is very likely that next year, finance and real estate alone will not be enough.

These two industries are like vampires. The stronger they grow, the more blood they will suck from other industries.

And it cannot accommodate more employees.

Therefore, as far as industries are concerned, the more advanced the technology is, the more high-quality talents can be employed.

Electronics, information, the Internet, biology, medical care, new materials, new energy, aerospace, etc. are Hong Kong's long-term development options.

In this life, under Peng Wanhua's planning, these industries have been thriving, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the pillar industries of Hong Kong.

However, the technology industry is like rowing against the current. If it does not move forward, it will fall behind. It still needs to continuously absorb more talents.

Therefore, China's accession to the WTO is an opportunity for the mainland and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Hong Kong.

Peng Wanhua nodded, indicating that she understood and she could get back to work.

Watching Bai Qingxia's graceful figure swaying away, he continued to browse the news.

"Explosive! Hongmeng 3: Rise of the Dragon has grossed 1.68 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong and 3.5 million US dollars worldwide! It continues to be a huge hit!"

As the third film of Hongmeng, Rise of the Dragon Tribe continues the consistent high quality of Red Star Films.

Not only did the Hong Kong box office reach a new high, but the global box office also gradually expanded with the influence of the Hongmeng series.

Such box office results are the result of years of planning and are well deserved.

"Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games was successful. In just one quarter, housing prices in some areas of Beijing rose by more than 100%!"

Seeing this news, Peng Wanhua nodded slightly.

House prices in Beijing began to soar, which was a sign that the domestic real estate market was beginning to soar.

In order to bid for the Olympics, the country began to pay attention to environmental protection, especially in Beijing and its surrounding areas. . .

In order to host the Olympic Games, a number of highly polluting industries were abandoned and relocated, and the pace of afforestation was increased.

Society's environmental awareness is gradually increasing.

“Technology News: Huaguang handheld game consoles have an annual global sales volume of over 3200 million units, accounting for 70% of the global handheld game console market! Far ahead!”

Seeing this news, Peng Wanhua couldn't help but smile. He didn't know whether the editor's surname was Yu, or the contributor's surname was Yu, but those four words were always added at the end.

Speaking of which, the Huaguang handheld game console is quite easy to use, with functions such as calendar, address book, memo, and Internet access for timely processing of emails.

It is one of the phenomenal products.

“科技速报2：华光MP3全球销量暴涨，年销量超过4100万台，占据全球MP3市场的80%！”

"Yu Chengdong, host of the Huaguang New Product Launch Conference, said that Huaguang will continue to increase its investment in research and development to bring more advanced technology products to consumers!"

Seeing this, especially the photos taken at the press conference, Peng Wanhua immediately understood.

It's really him.

Read on.

“The Human Genome Project is largely complete.”

"American Airlines Flight 587 crashes near New York, killing 265."

"Wang Jie's new album "Unromantic Crime" has sold over 1100 million copies worldwide! It's surpassing Xiao Gang and Jay Chou!"

"Great news! The Chinese men's national football team has qualified for the 2002 World Cup. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese team that they have qualified for the World Cup. A new starting point for men's football has been born!"

When Peng Wanhua saw the last piece of news, he almost laughed.

Fans and the media all thought that this was the starting point for the Chinese national football team to scale new heights and create new history.

No one expected that this would be the peak moment of men's football...
