Chapter 965: Yuen Long District Investigation
On the first day of the museum's opening, there were many big names present, and for the sake of security, there were great restrictions on the number of visitors, and a lot of time was wasted in the morning, but even so, it still received 11,231 visitors.
The next day, Sunday, with no big names present, the Kowloon Heritage Museum had a smaller number of visitors, and it received more than 20,000 visitors that day.
Although the museum was crowded, it did not reach the upper limit.
According to the design of the museum at the time of its establishment, the maximum number of visitors per day of the Kowloon Cultural Museum was 60,000, and the reasonable number of visitors was about 30,000 or 40,000.
It's just that the Kowloon Cultural Museum has just opened to the public after all, and the management must still be relatively rusty, and for the sake of safety, it is impossible to completely open it.
Maybe it will be in operation for half a year or a year, and the Kowloon Cultural Museum will consider reducing the number of visitors to a minimum.
Of course, the premise is that there are enough enthusiastic tourists at that time, and the Kowloon Cultural Museum is still attractive enough for tourists.
In his previous life, Xia Yu had heard that the Palace Museum, which is similar in size to the Kowloon Cultural Museum, set a record of 120,000 visitors a day at its peak!
I wonder if the Kowloon Cultural Museum will ever have that day, maybe not, after all, the Palace Museum is not only backed by 1.3 billion people, but also attracts tourists from all over the world......
The third to seventh days of free admission were weekdays, so the number of visitors dropped dramatically, but even so, the number of visitors exceeded 10,000 every day.
On the eighth day, it was also Saturday.
Free for one week after a charge on the first day.
Even if the adult ticket is 10 Hong Kong dollars and the child ticket is half 5 Hong Kong dollars, it still can't stop the public's enthusiasm for the sky-high price of 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
The number of visitors reached 23,228 and the ticket revenue reached more than 206,500 Hong Kong dollars.
At Wellcome Supermarket and 7-Eleven Convenience Store outside the Kowloon Cultural Museum, the combined daily turnover exceeded 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In the nearby street built by Jiuding Real Estate Development Company, except for the brother company, all the other shops have been rented, and various catering and other service industry shops have appeared.
A large-scale landmark museum has directly led to the rise of a small business district.
......
Sunday, April 11.
Xia Yu, who was supposed to rest at home, took Li Qian to appear in Liufu Mountain, Xiacun Township, Yuen Long District, New Territories.
Beside him was none other than Hong Kong Governor MacLehose and his wife Teresa Mak.
In addition, the security personnel brought by Xia Yu and MacLehose were nearby.
The reason why I came here today is because MacLehose invited him to discuss privately with Xia Yu on the matter of the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park in the name of going out on a non-working day.
is still the same sentence, although MacLehose is the governor of Hong Kong, and the construction and planning of Xiangjiang is his right, but Xia Yu's social status is extraordinary, and this plan was also proposed by Xia Yu, and Xia Yu will also be the main force in the construction of the science and technology industrial park, so MacLehose still wants to communicate with Xia Yu in private, so as not to change the policy again and again after it comes out.
"Mr. Xia, we are here now, what do you think of the science and technology industrial park being built here?"
When selling Deng Liting and pulling Li Qian to chat, MacLehose pointed to the location on the map and said to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu carefully looked at the roughly delineated location of MacLehose, combined with the impression in his mind, and said with a smile: "Mr. Governor, your choice is very wise, I think this should be the most suitable place to establish an industrial park." ”
After speaking, Xia Yu raised his head and looked at the endless undeveloped wilderness in front of him, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
As Xia Yu said, this is indeed the most suitable place to establish an industrial park.
In Xia Yu's original vision, the most suitable place for industry in the New Territories was Yuen Long District, followed by Tai Po District, which now has a large industrial park, but the specific location of the planned science and technology industrial park was not advised.
After all, the total area of Yuen Long District is 138 square kilometers, which is three times the size of Kowloon and 1.8 times the area of Hong Kong Island.
Thinking about the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan Province, the planned area is only 21 square kilometers, and it seems that it will only be developed and utilized by more than 60,000 square kilometers in later generations.
Straight to the point.
Yuen Long can be said to be the oldest of the 18 administrative districts of Heung Kong, and the most north-western district of the 18 districts of Heung Kong, it is located in the northwest of the New Territories, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is flat, east to Chau Tau, adjacent to Ma Cao Long in the North District, south to Hung Shui Kiu, and Tuen Mun District Blue Land.
Yuen Long is a plain, originally this is a continuous farmland, in the mountainous Heung River, only this flat and vast plain, in ancient times, it was a rural gathering place dominated by fishery and agriculture, and the residents made a living by cultivating the fields or raising fish in fish ponds.
Although Yuen Long has a long history dating back to the Qin Dynasty, Yuen Long seems to be a notoriously backward area in Heung Kong, synonymous with slums, with Tin Shui Wai and Nam Sang Wai in Yuen Long. Here, transportation is extremely poor, the rate of development is very low, and most of the area is fields, fish ponds or wilderness.
In terms of internal administrative divisions, Yuen Long District comprises Ha Tsuen Township, Ping Shan Township, 18 Township, Kam Tin Township, Pat Heung and San Tin Township.
The well-known Nansheng Wai is in the Eighteen Townships, and the Tianshui Wai is in Pingshan Township.
The place where Xia Yu and others are currently located is Xiacun Township in the southwest of Yuen Long District.
Xia Yu's praise also made MacLehose happy, and he said with a smile: "Although the Yuen Long Plain area is large enough, the reason why this place is preferred is also because it is adjacent to Tuen Mun District and has many advantages. ”
"With a population of nearly 400,000 and the Castle Peak Power Plant in the south and the Lung Kwu Tan Power Plant under construction in the west, Tuen Mun District is able to secure power supply and human resources for the Science and Technology Industrial Park. ”
"Oh, I remember that both the Qingshan Power Plant and the Longgutan Power Plant were built and operated by your power company, right?"
Seeing MacLehose smiling at himself, Xia Yu smiled and nodded: "I remember yes." ”
"By the way, Mr. Governor, how much area does the Hong Kong government plan to build this science and technology industrial park?"
In the face of Xia Yu's question, MacLehose did not hide it: "There is no conclusion within the Hong Kong government now, and the key is that it is impossible to determine how many enterprises can be attracted to settle in." ”
"This science and technology industrial park is proposed by you, Mr. Xia, and the most advanced resident must be your enterprise, what are your more detailed views on the planning of this park?"
Xia Yu pondered for a moment and asked MacLehose: "Mr. Governor, you should know about the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan Province, right?"
MacLehose nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, it is the first science and technology industrial park in Taiwan Province, and I remember that the planned area has reached 21 square kilometers." ”
Speaking of this, MacLehose raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you suggesting that the science and technology industrial park in Xiangjiang be on par with the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park in Taiwan Province?"
Xia Yu shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Governor, it is not on par with Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, my suggestion is to surpass it, because compared with the industrial positioning of Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, Xiangjiang's industrial positioning and planning are more extensive." ”
"Hsinchu Science and Technology Park is an imitation of Silicon Valley in the United States, positioned in the electronic semiconductor industry, and aims to build the Silicon Valley of Taiwan Province. ”
"But our science and technology industrial park in Xiangjiang is positioned as an electronic high-tech, heavy machinery manufacturing and petrochemical industry. ”
"The petrochemical industry chain with the refinery as the core, as well as the heavy machinery manufacturing industry chain based on automobile manufacturing, have a great demand for land, if our Xiangjiang Science and Technology Industrial Park and Hsinchu Science and Technology Industrial Park are equivalent in area, then the development will not be good at the beginning, but in the future, the area of the industrial park will be highlighted. ”
"But if you want to expand at that point, it will cost much more than it does in the wilderness. ”
"Even then, the development of the industrial park will lead to the construction of residential areas in the surrounding area, so it will not be possible to expand. ”
"So my advice is to plan as much as you can at the beginning. ”
