Chapter 409 Development Prospects of Lantau Island
"This is a good idea, I agree." Weili agreed.

"Well, this is a good idea. It will be implemented immediately after the handover with China Power. Before the laying is completed, you can borrow the power supply from China Power." Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Boss, are there really big development prospects on Lantau Island?" Ma Shiming asked curiously.

Lantau Island is located in the southwest of Xiangjiang. It is the largest island in Xiangjiang, covering an area of ​​147 square kilometers, which is nearly twice the area of ​​Xiangjiang Island, the second largest island in Xiangjiang.

However, in the past and present, Lantau Island has suffered from inconvenient transportation and is far away from the urban area of ​​Xiangjiang, resulting in a lot of undeveloped land and sparsely populated areas.

Therefore, although Ma Shiming has very good abilities, he failed to see what development prospects there are for Lantau Island. Why does the boss have to win Lantau Island?
Today, the entire Lantau Island is so huge, but its population is less than 5.

Here is Xiangjiang, a city with many people but little land!

Therefore, in the eyes of the public, the development prospects of Lantau Island are the worst, even worse than those of places such as the New Territories and Sai Kung.

Wei Li also looked at Su Cheng curiously. He had been in Xiangjiang for more than ten years and had a very clear understanding of Xiangjiang. Therefore, he could not understand the development prospects of Lantau Island.

"In fact, after the land is occupied, even if the development prospects are not good, you will not lose money. At present, the population on Lantau Island is concentrated in a few fishing villages, such as Tai O Fishing Village, Tung Chung Village, Yung Hau Village, and Cheung Sha Ha Village. Wait, although the villages are relatively scattered, it is not difficult to supply power. Although it currently does not generate much income for the company, this is just the current status quo.

I received a message that this year, the government is studying a feasible plan to connect Lantau Island and Tsuen Wan on the mainland. Once this plan is officially implemented, the travel between Lantau Island and Heung Kong City will be much more convenient. By then, Lantau Island will naturally be able to be developed , now that Xiangjiang is constantly piloting the development of new towns far away from the urban area, the population of Lantau Island will definitely continue to rise in the future.

In addition, Cheung Chau Island next to Lantau Island is also a very good place. The island is not large, but its population is about the same as that of the entire Lantau Island. It is the most densely populated island among the outlying islands. If we take the entire outlying island, Cheung Chau Island will naturally belong to it. We take care of it! "

Sioux City has not announced that the Xiangjiang International Airport will be located on Lantau Island in the future. Only a Tsing Ma Bridge is enough.

Although the news about Sioux City did not come from the government, the government really started studying the connection plan between Lantau Island and Tsuen Wan this year. This plan will be implemented in 1982, but it will be stopped later due to some reasons. It was not until the 90s that the construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge officially started.

More than ten years may be a long time for a company.

However, for a service-oriented enterprise like Hong Kong Electric Group, it is nothing.

No matter what happens, anyone can go bankrupt, but for companies like HK Electric, the government will not let them go bankrupt.

This is also the reason why Hong Kong Electric Group and CLP Power Corporation have been able to develop for so long.

The electricity consumption of just one airport is enough to exceed the electricity consumption of many households.

What's more, the international airport will also bring a series of supporting facilities.

Following the original historical development trajectory, in 1989, the then Governor of Hong Kong, Wei Yixin, announced the "Airport Core Plan" and connected the airport railway and the Lantau Main Line to land transportation outside the island, and large-scale construction began on Lantau Island.

Moreover, the development of new towns has also been launched in Xiangjiang in recent years. Lantau Island currently does not have a new town, but with such a large area, it is impossible not to have a development plan for new towns in the future.

Since its development in 1973, six new towns have been developed to cope with the population growth in Hong Kong and to disperse the crowded urban population, thus improving the living environment in Hong Kong.The six new towns are Tsuen Wan, Sha Tin, Tuen Mun, Tai Po, Fanling (Sheung Shui) and Yuen Long.

In the 8s and 90s, three more new markets will be developed in Xiangjiang, namely Tseung Kwan O, Tin Shui Wai and North Lantau.

The core of Tseung Kwan O has been bought by Su City, which can be regarded as his advance layout.

The North Lantau New Town is located on Lantau Island. With future development, the population will definitely start to rise. By then, it will be easy for just one North Lantau New Town to have a population of 10,000+.

And Disney, if in this parallel world, Disney will still be located in Xiangjiang, then its location must still be on Lantau Island, because apart from Lantau Island, there is no place more suitable for it.

However, in this parallel world, Sioux City is already preparing to build an international tourist resort. I don’t know if Disney will appear in Hong Kong by then.

After all, the world-class tourist resort created by Sioux City is, strictly speaking, a real competitor with Disney.

"I also heard that the government is studying the plan for a bridge to Lantau Island." Wei Li nodded at the side.

After all, Wei Li is in charge of a giant like Hutchison Whampoa and has a very high status in Hong Kong, so he naturally knows something about the government's trends.

"In addition, when the oil base in Tuen Mun is developed in the future, the electricity consumption will be very large. It will naturally be more cost-effective to use your own electricity by then, and the performance of Hong Kong Electric Group will also be improved. In addition, ExxonMobil, Shell , BP Petroleum Company, etc., influenced by my investment there and the invitation of Mr. Governor, they also began to invest and build factories there. Tuen Mun New Town is also developing better and better, so the future development of Tuen Mun will It won't be worse than Sha Tin, which is why I want to win Tuen Mun." Su Cheng continued.

As for Sai Kung, it goes without saying. Everyone knows that Sioux City is currently carrying out large-scale development of Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula in the south of Sai Kung. In the future, many places there will belong to Sioux City. How can Sioux City allow power supply like this? Let CLP Power do the important things?
The Hong Kong Electric Group will definitely explore overseas markets in the future, but before that, Suzhou City hopes that the Hong Kong Electric Group can capture enough market share in Hong Kong and accumulate more funds, so that it can lead the way in future overseas market development. CLP Power Corporation.

The three of them started discussing the next development plan of Hong Kong Electric Group in the office.

As a power supply company, you must have land reserves. Otherwise, when needed, the cost of expropriating developed areas will be very high.

At present, the Hong Kong Electric Group happens to have sufficient book funds, so it can start to hoard land for the Hong Kong Electric Group.

Outlying Islands, Tuen Mun and Sai Kung were previously not within the power supply scope of HK Electric Group, so HK Electric Group did not have land in these places.

However, now that these places have been obtained, it is time to reserve land for the development of Hong Kong Electric Group.

In the future, these reserved land plots will be used to develop real estate or build power supply supporting buildings. If you stock up on land plots, you will have no worries.

As for which of these places have development prospects in the future, Su Cheng knows clearly. He only needs to ask Xiao Ai to create a map of Xiangjiang in the 21st century.

If you know which areas have development prospects and buy them now, even if they are left undeveloped, these lands will become more and more valuable in the future.
