People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 340 Article [-] is the most suitable place to build here
"Thank you very much for your support. It is because of you that Xiangjiang has maintained its prosperity. As for the plan, we don't have a clear plan yet, which is one of the reasons why we called you." Governor Mailihao praised.

Although it is said that important infrastructure such as the undersea tunnel is the task of the government and is planned by the Hong Kong Planning Department.

But before planning, always listen to other people’s opinions.

For example, it would be very helpful for the next work to seek their opinions from the most representative businessmen in Hong Kong before finalizing the plan.

"Everyone, please follow me." Mailihao said directly.

Everyone stood up one after another and followed Mailihao to the map of Xiangjiang in the office.

This map of Xiangjiang is hung on the wall not far from the living room. It is very huge and is so detailed that every street and village road in Xiangjiang is clearly marked.

And, judging from the time marked above, this is the latest map for this year.

"This map of Hong Kong is under the responsibility of our Lands Department and is updated once a year. This map was updated just two months ago," said MacLeahout.

Everyone nodded and looked at the map carefully, trying to find places they were interested in.

The same goes for Sioux City. He quickly discovered the locations of Oracle Computer Company, Tuen Mun Oil Base, etc.

If the map is sold outside, these places will not be marked at all.

However, Su Cheng did not find the label of Tianhe International Bodyguard Company’s training base in Sheung Wan. The training base itself is a relatively secretive place and it is necessary to keep it confidential, so Tianhe Company will naturally not take the initiative to report it. .

"Everyone knows very well about the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel. Construction started in 1968 and it was completed and opened to traffic in 1972. It has been ten years since the construction started. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to build a second cross-sea tunnel. Let's talk about it. To build the second undersea tunnel, where should it be built?" MacLehose said, holding a long stick and pointing to the location of the Hung Hom undersea tunnel.

"Let me talk first." At this time, Shen Bi stood up and said with a smile.

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Shen Bi to see what he had in mind.

"Mr. Shen Bi, please speak." Mailihao made a gesture of invitation.

“Currently, our Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel has heavy traffic during rush hours, which shows that the vast majority of people move between the Kowloon Peninsula and Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. Therefore, I recommend the construction of a second cross-sea tunnel. Between Austin and Sheung Wan, the new cross-harbour tunnel can be far away from the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, and can well share the traffic flow of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel." Shen Bi took the long stick from MacLehose's hand and took it He said while pointing at the map with his stick.

"I think Mr. Shen Bi's plan is very good, and I very much agree with Mr. Shen Bi's plan." At this time, Yihe Taipan Tuan Bijian said with great agreement.

Tuan Bijian supports Shen Bi's plan purely for his own benefit.

Most of the properties of Jardine Matheson and Land are located in the places mentioned by Shen Bi. If the second undersea tunnel is as mentioned by Shen Bi, it will basically be in the city center of Hong Kong such as Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Kowloon Peninsula. If the core area is built between Austin and Sheung Wan, it will naturally be of great benefit to Jardine's industries.

"I think that an undersea tunnel can be built from Whampoa Dockyard to North Point, which is more suitable than the plan proposed by Mr. Shen Bi. Compared with the Sheung Wan side, North Point has more people flow. After it is completed, it can also provide The central location in the northern part of Hong Kong Island brings good development,” said Taipan Shiyok of Swire & Co.

"I think the core area of ​​Xiangjiang city center has reached a development bottleneck, so the goal cannot always be on the Kowloon Peninsula and Victoria Harbor. Therefore, everyone might as well shift their attention to the eastern region." The charter boat king put forward his own suggestions .

The first undersea tunnel in Hong Kong, the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, was invested by Charter King.After investing in the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, he made a lot of money from this tunnel.

If another tunnel is built in the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, it will definitely divide part of the traffic flow of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel.

Therefore, the opinion of the Charter King is naturally that he hopes that the Cross-Harbour Tunnel will be far away from the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.

In another world, from its completion in 1972 to 1999 when the Charter King transferred the operating rights to the Hong Kong government for free, the Charter King family made a total of tens of billions from the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel.

You can imagine how much money this tunnel attracts!

Everyone expressed their opinions and soon had several plans.

"Mr. Su, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone else expressed their thoughts, but Su Cheng remained silent, Governor Mailihao took the initiative to ask.

Others also looked at Su Cheng one after another.

After all, Su Cheng is now the veritable richest man in the world, and his status in the world's business community is getting higher and higher. If you put it in the whole world, only the charter king here has such a status, even if it is Shen Bi can't do it either.

The chartered ship king is recognized as the world's shipping king. Although he cannot be the richest man in the world, his status in the world is very high. If he goes to the beautiful country, even the president of the beautiful country will personally meet him.

As for Shen Bi, his current status is only very high in Xiangjiang. Apart from Xiangjiang and the United Kingdom, his popularity in other places is actually the same.

Su Cheng took the long stick and pointed the tip of the stick between the Kwun Tong Cha Kwo Green and Quarry Bay on the Hong Kong Island without thinking at all.

"Everyone, I think it is most appropriate to build the second undersea tunnel here!" Su Cheng said slowly.

In fact, he doesn’t need to think about it at all, because the future second undersea tunnel in Hong Kong, the Eastern Harbor Crossing, will be located here.

However, the construction of the Eastern Harbor Crossing will not start until 1986, which is still nearly 8 years away from now.

Therefore, the plan has naturally not been finalized yet.

After the completion of the Eastern Harbor Crossing, the traffic flow will definitely not be as high as that of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel. After all, the location determines the traffic flow.

However, after the Eastern Harbor Crossing is completed, the traffic flow will be half that of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, which is much better than the third completed Western Harbor Crossing.

"Mr. Su, please tell me your opinion." Governor Mailihao said.

"What Mr. Bao said is part of the reason. In addition, both North Point and Kwun Tong have many factories. These factories produce a large amount of goods that need to be transported to the other side. At the same time, they also strengthen the connection between Kwun Tong and Hong Kong Island. Therefore, it is very necessary to build an undersea tunnel between Kwun Tong and North Point. It would be very troublesome to take a detour to Hung Hom or Causeway Bay. Therefore, if we take a longer view, the first It is most suitable for the two undersea tunnels to be built here!" Su Cheng said slowly.
