I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state - Chapter 1504
#1504: Yang Ming’s crazy bridge-building plan!
On the first day of the Chinese New Year.
In the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, the Yang family was quiet.
Apart from Ah Zhu and Li Jiaxin, there were only bodyguards and servants.
“Sir.”
It was rare that no one else was here, and Li Jiaxin looked even more delicate in front of Yang Ming.
“Sir, today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, where are we going to play?”
“Where do you want to go?”
Now everyone else in the villa is on holiday, like Lin Zhiling, who is accompanying her parents from Taiwan.
“Where the sir goes, I go.”
“Then after breakfast, I’ll take you to the places.”
When Yang Ming, Li Jiaxin, and Ah Zhu went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, the bodyguards were called.
However, in order to keep a low profile, Yang Ming did not get in his Rolls-Royce, but got into an ordinary car with Li Jiaxin and Ah Zhu.
Even so, this ordinary car was bulletproof glass.
“Boss, where are we going?” Chen Zhenhua asked.
“Let’s go to Yuen Long first.”
Chen Zhenhua drove in the direction of Yuen Long.
Compared with the 1970s and 1980s, there are more and more highways and viaducts in Hong Kong’s urban area.
In the past, it was very troublesome to get to the New Territories North, especially when driving, and it took a long time. However, since Yang Ming developed the Hong Kong Science Park in the New Territories North, the New Territories North in Hong Kong has become the fastest-growing place.
Nowadays, it is not difficult to go to Yuen Long.
Even so, you still have to go through the Hung Hom Tunnel or the Western Tunnel.
“Zhenhua, what do you think about building a bridge over Victoria Harbor?”
Build a bridge?
Chen Zhenhua was a little shocked.
As for Li Jiaxin, Ah Zhu didn’t know much about that.
However, Yang Ming knew very well that at the beginning, the Hong Kong Governor’s Office planned to build the Victoria Harbor Bridge, but because of the fear of affecting the shipping of Victoria Harbor, in addition to the fear of affecting the scenery on both sides of Victoria Harbor.
Some people also worried that it would affect the feng shui of Victoria Harbor.
As a result, the Hung Hom Tunnel started construction on September 1, 1969 and opened to traffic on August 2, 1972.
Until now, with Hong Kong still developing at a high speed and Hong Kong’s population increasing, he felt that even if the West Line Tunnel and the East Line Tunnel were opened, they would not be able to meet Hong Kong’s current traffic.
In other words, the bridge across Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong still needs to be built.
In the past, Yang Ming was also considering whether it would affect the shipping and scenery of Victoria Harbor.
Now it seems that these will not affect.
On the contrary, if the bridge is built better, it will become a beautiful scenery.
Now, Chen Zhenhua naturally doesn’t understand these, but he is very surprised.
It seems that the boss and the Empire Group are going to have a big hand again.
Now the population of Hong Kong is close to 10 million, and it is getting more and more prosperous.
Chen Zhenhua knows very well that this is inseparable from Yang Ming and the Empire Group.
After coming out of the Hung Hom Tunnel, and then passing the viaduct, going to Yuen Long.
At this time, the places that used to belong to the suburbs of Kowloon are now becoming more and more prosperous.
Li Jiaxin is next to Yang Ming, looking outside, her eyes are full of admiration for Yang Ming. She knows that almost all the properties seen here are Yang Ming’s.
Drive all the way to the northwest.
On the viaduct, it is only more than 20 kilometers from here to Yuen Long, which is 34 minutes in a straight line.
If it used to take at least one or two hours to get to Yuen Long.
Now get off the viaduct at the Yuen Long side.
“Boss, where to?”
“The beach.”
Chen Zhenhua continued to go to the beach of Yuen Long.
More than ten minutes later.
At this time, they had arrived at the beach of Yuen Long.
When Yang Ming, Li Jiaxin, and Ah Zhu got off the car.
In addition to seeing Houhai Bay in front of him, Yang Ming also saw Nanshan Shekou and other places across the sea in Pengcheng.
In 1992, when the old man went south to inspect Pengcheng, Yang Ming was looking at this side from the opposite side.
At that time, the old man once said that he hoped to visit Xiangjiang in person.
It was already 1996, and I don’t know if the old man would still be like in history?
Yang Ming stood there and looked into the distance.
At this time, his mood was also very different.
It is the Spring Festival now, and the sea breeze and waves are still relatively large, and the weather is a bit cold.
However, it is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong in Hong Kong.
“What do you think of building a few more bridges from here to there?”
Build bridges?
Historically, this place did build a bridge called Pengcheng Highway Bridge.
This bridge, formerly known as Pengcheng Bay Highway Bridge, is a cross-sea bridge in China that connects Pengcheng Nanshan District and Hong Kong Yuen Long District. It is located above the Shenzhen Bay in Lingdingyang and is one of the components of the western passage between the two places.
The construction of Pengcheng Bay Bridge started on August 28, 2003; it was completed on January 20, 2006; and it was opened to traffic on July 1, 2007.
It is considered to be a late planning and construction.
Of course, some people proposed it in the 1990s, but it has never been built.
At this time, it is already 1996, and Yang Ming knows that it is time to build it.
Moreover, it is not just one, but three should be built.
He is very clear that in the future Hong Kong can only maintain its status and influence if it actively integrates into the country and the Greater Bay Area. Otherwise, it will be eliminated.
Now when he saw this, he knew that time was even more urgent.
“Sir, is that the Lingdingyang Bridge over there?” Li Jiaxin asked.
“Yes, that is the Lingdingyang Bridge.”
The Lingdingyang Bridge began construction in 1993, and it has been more than three years now. However, as a world-class cross-sea bridge, it involves four major cities, Zhucheng, Haojiang, Pengcheng, and Xiangjiang. As long as this world-class bridge is completed, it can be regarded as the first step in the integration of the Greater Bay Area.
Now looking back, it is basically seen that this bridge has already taken shape, but it will take a few years to be completely repaired.
However, Yang Ming knows that the integration speed of New Territories North and Pengcheng will be accelerated.
Like in Yang Ming’s previous life, Futian and other places on the Pengcheng side were considered the most developed places in Pengcheng. On the contrary, in the opposite Xiangjiang New Territories North, there were only fields and tombs not far away.
Compared with Pengcheng, the northern part of Xiangjiang in history seemed to have no development at all.
But now it is different. Yang Ming has acquired a large amount of land in the New Territories North to develop the Xiangjiang Science and Education Park, which is now one of the most developed science and technology parks in the world.
At this time, the development and prosperity of the New Territories North are no less than Silicon Valley, Zhongguancun in Yanjing, and the Xinzhu Science and Education Park in Taiwan.
However, in Yang Ming’s view, Xiangjiang will reach 97 in one year, and it is even more necessary to accelerate the integration with the country to avoid missing the development opportunity as in history.
Now Yang Ming and others have seen it here at the seaside.
Maybe because of the strong wind and waves, and a hint of cold air, Yang Ming couldn’t help sneezing, and Li Jiaxin hurriedly took out a handkerchief for Yang Ming.
“Sir, are you okay?”
“It’s okay, let’s get in the car first.” (End of this chapter)
