The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 579

Regarding the official opening of the Tai Lam Tunnel, both the members of the Tung Wah Association, the senior officials of the Xin Jian Department, and the Bryan government all attached great importance to it.

At 6 a.m. on June 1st, Li Jianhui, Li Guobao, Lei Juekun, Zhou Bingqian, Kesos and others deliberately came to the Tsuen side of the Tailan Tunnel.

Because the center of gravity of the Xinjian Department is Yuen Long rather than Tsuen Wan, the Tai Lam Tunnel toll booth is also on the Yuen Long side, and vehicles entering and leaving the Tai Lam Tunnel pay the toll there.

The current Tai Lam Tunnel is different from the one in the previous life. In the previous life, it was mainly used for the construction of Route [-], so more consideration was given to connecting Yuen Long to Kwai Tsing.

And now the Tai Lam Tunnel Xinjian Department hopes that Tianshui City can reach Kowloon City via Tsuen Wan as soon as possible, so the tunnel is a bit longer than the previous life, reaching 4.1 kilometers.

Starting today, it only takes about [-] minutes from Tin Shui City to the center of Tsuen Wan, [-] minutes to Kowloon City, and [-] minutes to Central.

Of course, these are self-driving and ideal conditions. It will take longer to get back in line at toll booths or traffic jams.

For example, if there is no tunnel to go to Tuen Mun, in an ideal state, it will take about [-] minutes longer, but that is only an ideal state.

The reality is that because there is no Tai Lam Tunnel, Tuen Mun Highway is the only way from Yuen Long to the urban area. The number of vehicles is increasing, and it has long been overwhelmed. Traffic jams are common, and the distance that can be covered in half an hour is often It will take an hour or two.

After the opening of the Tai Lam Tunnel this time, it will play a very good role in diverting traffic. From now on, buses from the urban area to Yuen Long will basically use the Tai Lam Tunnel, and cars will basically go here.

Perhaps there will be more trucks on the Tuen Mun Highway in the future besides the vehicles going to Tuen Mun. After all, after the opening of the Tai Lam Tunnel, the traffic jam on the Tuen Mun Highway will be eased, and there is no need to pay tolls on the Tuen Mun Highway.

"Mr. Li, congratulations! I believe that with the continuous development of Yuen Long, the Tai Lam Tunnel will definitely become the cash milk of the Xin Jian Department."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Kesos for coming to attend the opening ceremony of the Dalan Tunnel. The opening of the Dalan Tunnel can better connect the new urban area of ​​Tianshui City and the main urban area, and can also better promote the development of the new urban area of ​​Tianshui City .

At the same time, we also very much hope that the subway from Tsuen Wan to Tianshui City mentioned by the government can start construction and put into operation as soon as possible. This will also help promote the balanced development of Hong Kong's economy, and the transportation will be convenient. There will be no need for Hong Kong citizens to continue crowding in Kowloon City and Hong Kong. within the island. "

It's a pity that Xoss didn't answer Li Jianhui's words. At present, the government's main energy is still focused on several universities and several subway lines under construction.

This year is not just the opening of the Tai Lam Tunnel. Early next month, the MTR line from Kwun Tong to Tseung Kwan O will also open to traffic after several years of construction. In September, the Tate’s Cairn Tunnel invested by many companies from the Nanjiang Association will also open to traffic.

It can be said that this year is a year of great development in Xiangjiang's transportation. Whether it is the opening of the two major tunnels or the operation of the Kwun Tong-Tseung Kwan O MTR line, it will greatly improve the travel of Xiangjiang citizens.

And it is clear that the Bryan government also hopes to make greater achievements in this regard. Xosos did not respond to the subway line, but mentioned the new airport project.

Especially after learning that Li Jianhui intends to establish a joint venture with the North to establish Pengcheng Airport, Xoss paid Li Jianhui's attention.

He even arranged for people to contact Zhou Bingqian to communicate with him about the new airport project.

It's just that Li Jianhui doesn't have much interest in investing in Xiangjiang's new airport for the time being. The main reason is that Kai Tak Airport can meet Xiangjiang's needs for the time being, and he is not willing to spend too much money on it for the time being.

As for the projects he mentioned here, none of them can easily reach cooperation, especially during this period, without a few years of communication, it is simply impossible.

Thinking about the Yangcheng-Pengcheng Expressway in the previous life, it took nearly ten years from Hu Yinxiang's mention to the official start of construction.

"Li Sheng, although our Kai Tak Airport is still able to meet the needs of development, with the continuous development of Hong Kong's economy, the demand for air transportation is increasing, and the pressure on Kai Tak Airport will also increase.

Moreover, Kai Tak Airport is located in Kowloon City District. Although there have been no major accidents in recent years, we cannot ignore potential safety hazards.

If Mr. Li intends to invest in the new airport project, our government can allow a wholly-owned holding, and the airport will be managed by the investors themselves, and our government will only be responsible for the approval of the route.

And at a certain time, Kai Tak Airport will only be used as a dedicated airport for private jets and helicopters, mainly serving customers with private jets and helicopter routes from Xiangjiang to Lisboa. "

The conditions given by Xosos can be said to be quite attractive. If the Xinjian Department really invests in the new airport and obtains these conditions, let alone put it into operation, as soon as the news spreads, the stock prices of Cathay Pacific and Hongya Airlines will plummet.

Just investing in such an airport will cost at least [-] billion Hong Kong dollars, and Li Jianhui also has another worry, that is, after the new airport is put into operation, Kai Tak Airport will continue to operate.

We must know that Kai Tak Airport is located in Kowloon City. When citizens have a choice, they will definitely choose Kai Tak Airport first, not to mention the potential safety hazards. Over the years, the citizens of Hong Kong have long been used to it.

Once the government maintains the dual-airport operation model, the investment will be a bit uneconomical.

And Li Jianhui has never forgotten that the Bryan government cannot always be the master. Once it returns, it is afraid that it will not be willing to see the Xinjian Department operating the airport as a sole proprietorship. The effective way to do this is to let Kai Tak Airport continue Continue to operate, so that the other party can also have something to say, and promote fair competition in the aviation industry.

"Mr. Quesos, I need to discuss with the higher-ups about the investment in the new airport.

And I think that after the establishment of the new airport, Kai Tak Airport has fulfilled its own mission, and there is no need for its existence, and at the same time, possible safety accidents can be avoided.

Once the new airport is put into use, I think that all flights at Kai Tak Airport will be moved to the new airport, and Kai Tak Airport will carry out commercial real estate development. What do you think? "

Xoss didn't expect Li Jianhui to be so ruthless. He wanted to completely cut off the possible threat of Kai Tak Airport to the new airport in the future. Once Kai Tak Airport is used for real estate development, the flight arrangement of Xiangjiang Airport will be decided by the Xinjian Department. Cathay Pacific and Hongya will not have the slightest initiative. As long as Li Jianhui thinks, these two airlines are likely to be suppressed and bankrupt.

It's just that it is obviously impossible for Xoss to agree with Li Jianhui's opinion now. He mentioned the subsequent use of Kai Tak Airport before, which is more of an excuse, otherwise he would not say that it will be a certain time.

In the vision of the Bryan government, once Li Jianhui invests in the new airport, the new airport will be mainly used by the Star Alliance headed by Xiangjiang Airlines in the future, which includes Malay Airlines, Sin Chew Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, China Airlines, Philippine Airlines, Indonesian Airlines, etc. Airlines, Korean Air, ANA, Air Canada, British Airways, Qantas, KLM.

Kai Tak Airport has become the base airport of Cathay Pacific Airways and Hongya Airlines, as well as the business airport of other airlines in Hong Kong.

It's a pity that Li Jianhui didn't take the bait, and Xoss has no good solution for the time being. He can only go back and discuss with Brian.

While promoting the Xinjian Department and even the Donghua Association to enter more basic livelihood industries, it also established enough opponents for the Donghua Association to contain the Donghua Association and prevent it from becoming a monopoly of the Donghua Association.
