Chapter 175: Xiangjiang Metro

Seeing that the Spring Festival of the 80th year is coming, Jiayi Group is busy with the New Year's party, Li Guangyu is also looking forward to this party, this time not only the artists of Xiangjiang will participate, but also the treasure island and the Japanese branch also sent personnel to participate, including the talented girl musician Miyuki Nakajima. 35xs

On the morning of February 12, after eating breakfast, Li Guangyu did not go to the company, but sat aside and read the newspaper delivered today.

Seeing this, Cao Weiqing asked, "Guangyu, you don't plan to go to the company today?"

"Today I am going to attend the ceremony of the opening of the Central to Kwun Tong by the Hong Kong Metro, and the railway company under the Hong Kong Metro has sent me an invitation, do you want to attend?"

Cao Weiqing said, "There must be a lot of people there today, so I won't go." ”

Now that Cao Weiqing is pregnant, Li Guangyu is different, she goes to that lively place, there are too many people, in case something happens, it will be troublesome.

After chatting with Cao Weiqing for a while, Li Guangyu, accompanied by Du Yonghong and others, went to the Central Station of the Xiangjiang Metro, where the opening ceremony of the first line of the Heung Kong Metro, from Central to Kwun Tong, was held.

Today's Heung Kong Underground Railway Company is still wholly owned by the Heung Kong government, and no private capital has been introduced, and no family in Heung Kong will take a stake in the subway company, and Li Guangyu himself will not be willing.

The main reason is that the subway investment is too large, the cost recovery time is too long, and there are many uncertain factors, Li Guangyu is still more willing to invest in some other groups, such as Xiangjiang Electric Light and Xiangjiang Telephone. 35xs

At today's Central Station, the Heung Kong Police Station has already arranged a large number of police forces to maintain order here and ensure the normal holding of the event.

The media in Xiangjiang also went out one after another, and although many reporters were blocked from isolation by the police, they were still observing with great interest the bigwigs who came to attend today.

I don't know if the Xiangjiang government today is to show the importance of the subway, or for other reasons, invited a lot of Xiangjiang bigwigs to attend the opening ceremony.

As the opening ceremony approached, a high-ranking figure in Xiangjiang began to appear.

When Li Guangyu arrived, he saw that there were already many acquaintances here. Luo Cheng, Stanley Ho, charter king, Xu Shixun and others are here.

Of course, the Hong Kong government held such an event, and several people from foreign companies were indispensable, and even the Taipan of HSBC and Standard Chartered came here.

Li Guangyu walked to Luo Cheng and the others and greeted the elders one by one.

Luo Cheng said jokingly, "Guangyu, with the continuous improvement of the Xiangjiang Metro, I'm afraid that your Kowloon Bus Company will be affected." ”

Li Guangyu is not worried about this, as far as the three lines built today have little impact on the business of the Kowloon Bus Company, and because of the 15 profit red line set by the government, Li Guangyu does not want to make any money in this company, what he wants is the influence of the company, and the convenience of the development of his real estate company.

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle Decheng, the population of Xiangjiang is rising by more than 100,000 now, and these subway lines alone cannot affect Kowloon Bus. ”

Luo Cheng said, "This is the best, but the opening of the Central-Kwun Tong MTR this time is good news for your uncle and them." The real estate company they established last year was a real estate project opened in Kwun Tong, and this time they were afraid that the house price would increase again. ”

Li Guangyu still knows the situation of He Hongyi's real estate on their side, and last year he specially asked Li Guangyu to help them open a bus line near the real estate to cooperate with their real estate sales.

Nowadays, the real estate market in Xiangjiang is rising rapidly, and the properties in the subway station are even higher, and the auction of these plots is also subject to fierce competition from major real estate groups. Li Guangyu is not very interested in real estate in Xiangjiang, and he feels that it is more comfortable to make money in Japan.

Li Guangyu knew that in his previous life, in 82 years, Chen Zengxi's family united some Chinese families to compete with Jardine Matheson Group on a subway, costing billions, but the Xiangjiang property market plummeted, which can be described as a heavy loss.

From 82 to 85, the real estate market in Xiangjiang was very sluggish, and Li Guangyu was reluctant to throw money in it, so it was safer to let Xingguang Real Estate go to Baodao to develop.

It was close to nine o'clock when the Governor of Xiangjiang, MacLehose, arrived.

MacLehose said, "Welcome all guests to attend this opening ceremony, as well as reporters and Hong Kong citizens. After years of construction, the first line of our Xiangjiang Metro will be opened to traffic today. The opening of the subway provides another choice for citizens to travel, which is convenient for everyone's travel. ”

"Our government has always been committed to serving you well, and this is the opening of the first line, and our second and third lines are still under construction, and we will serve everyone's travel in the near future," MacLehose said. ”

Later, the general manager of the Heung Kong Underground Railway Company also made a speech, and at half past nine, the ceremony was over, and Lee Guangyu and others also accompanied MacLehose to board the train to Kwun Tong and experience the feeling of taking the subway in this era.

Li Guangyu did not feel very good about this experience, which compared with the subway in Rongcheng and the light rail in Shuangqing in his previous life, both the speed and the comfort of the carriage were far from comparable.

After experiencing the feeling of taking the subway in this era, Li Guangyu, accompanied by Du Yonghong and a few people, went to He Hongyi and a few of them to take a look at the real estate under development.

I have an intuitive feeling of the energy of the He family, the land for this development is only 500 meters away from Kwun Tong Station, if it is not for the energy of the He family, how can they get the land in this location by a newly established real estate company.

The company is currently managed by Stanley Ho, who and Ho Ji are only directors of the company and are not involved in the company's affairs.

When Li Guangyu was wandering around in this real estate, He Hongqing came over and said to Li Guangyu, "Guangyu, why do you think of it, let's take a look here." ”

Li Guangyu said, "Uncle, today I happened to experience the feeling of taking the subway from Central to this side with MacLehose, so I came to see the real estate developed by you." ”

He Hongqing smiled and said, "Guangyu, we are not bad here now." ”

"Uncle, you guys are much better than me in Tin Shui Wai, the traffic and people flow in this location are not a problem, how are your sales now?" asked Li Guangyu.

"We have sold more than 50 of them now, and I believe they will be sold out before the construction is completed. ”

Li Guangyu said: "Uncle, after the development of your real estate is completed, the Xiangjiang side will temporarily slow down, if you want, you will go to Japan to develop, otherwise the treasure island will also do." ”

When He Hongqing heard Li Guangyu say this, it is estimated that Li Guangyu thinks that after two years, the real estate market in Xiangjiang is estimated to have problems, otherwise he will not let him stop the development of Xiangjiang and turn outside.

He Hongqing said, "Okay Guangyu, we still need two more years." After the development is completed, we also have a certain amount of capital, but we can go outside and break through. ”

Li Guangyu was also worried that He Hongqing would continue to invest in Xiangjiang, and in 82 years, he was trapped in it, so he reminded him.
