Chapter 866: Tai Lam Tunnel
On the morning of June 14, Li Guangyu took a special plane back to Xiangjiang at Taoyuan International Airport.
Last night, Li Guangyu and the vice president held talks for more than two hours, and the two sides reached a consensus in some aspects that the development of the Li consortium's industry in Baodao will not be affected.
Perhaps because of the memory of his previous life, Li Guangyu is really not interested in this vice president, and he is far from treating Sun Yunxuan with respect, and Sun Yunxuan can have a personal friendship, and this is more about business, will not involve personal issues, and will not have any personal friendship.
The vice president also knew that because he had caused some of the Li Consortium's allies in the treasure island to suffer heavy losses, it was impossible for him to establish a friendly personal relationship with the Lee Consortium, and he did not deliberately discuss things unrelated to work.
The reason why Li Guangyu was busy returning to Xiangjiang was mainly because the governor Youde wanted to meet with him.
The time has come to June, the examination of Heung Kong Form 7 has ended, and the Heung Kong University of Communication and Communication and Heung Kong Aviation College in Tin Shui Wai will officially enroll.
And now on the issue of the construction of the subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai has not yet been decided, Youde is very unwilling to do so, and he hopes that the project can be started as soon as possible, with a construction period of four years, and the subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai can be put into operation in 1988.
Since British Foreign Minister Hove announced in April that Hong Kong would return to the mainland in 1997, negotiations on the return of Hong Kong to the mainland have reached the final stage.
At this time, when the situation in Hong Kong was at its most tense, Governor Youde wanted to carry out a large-scale construction project to promote the economic development of Hong Kong, divert the attention of the citizens, and reduce their inner anxiety.
It's a pity that some of his own decisions are difficult to implement in the government, such as the subway, the financial secretary is unwilling to come up with funds, and the Land Department is unwilling to give up the property development rights on the station along the Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai in vain, which leads to Youde spending a lot of time doing government work to persuade them to invest in this subway project.
This time, Youde made an appointment with Lee Guangyu and them, mainly because of his other project, the highway from Tsuen Wan to Yuen Long, in which the financial secretary of the Tai Lam Tunnel was not willing to pay for the construction, so he could only come to Heung Kong and other business people to invest.
In the afternoon of the same day, Lee Kwong-yu, Cheng Yu-tung, Li Ka-shing, Stanley Ho, Lee Shau-kee, Fung King-hei, Pao Yuk-gang, Chan Tsang-hei, Henry Keswick, Wooden Schwya, and others gathered at the Governor's Palace.
Governor Youde said: "Thank you for coming to this meeting, all of you here today have real estate development in the Tin Shui Wai area, and the scale is relatively large, you are very optimistic about the future development of the Tin Shui Wai area, today we will discuss the matter of Tin Shui Wai." ”
The real estate companies of the people present today are well-known in Xiangjiang, and the strength of each one cannot be underestimated, so many developers are gathered in Tin Shui Wai, if there is not enough demand to support it, many companies will be trapped in it.
The reason why these groups entered Tin Shui Wai when the Heung Kong property market was in a sideways market was that the Li Industrial Park continued to grow, and more and more employees worked in it.
The second is that Tin Shui Wai is designated as the university town of Xiangjiang, which will be a university gathering area in the future, and the development is unlimited.
The third is some of the plans announced by Youde, among which the subway line from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai has given them sufficient support for the development of Tin Shui Wai.
Now the subway has not landed for a long time, which makes them quite anxious, and now the Li consortium and the real estate group under the Xiangjiang consortium are stepping up development, if they don't keep up, the future market will not be left for them.
It's just that so many real estate companies are rushing to the market, there is no market in the city, and they can't digest much just by relying on the Tin Shui Wai and Yuen Long markets, and then these properties will be smashed in their own hands.
Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing and others are not in a hurry, with the support of the workers of Li's Industrial Park, they are not worried that their real estate will not be sold.
Chen Zengxi was the most anxious, this time the property market in Xiangjiang plummeted, and his Hang Lung Group suffered heavy losses, and even Hang Lung Bank was forced to give up.
This time, he also felt that the Tin Shui Wai market was good, so he entered the Tin Shui Wai property market in a big way, hoping that the profits here could improve the predicament of Hang Lung Group.
As a result, Youde's promise of the subway has not been fulfilled for a long time, and the future prospects of Tin Shui Wai are uncertain, and these people in need in the urban area will not go to the more remote Tin Shui Wai to buy houses, which is inconvenient for them to commute.
Chen Tseng-hee spoke without Lee Kwong-yu and Pao Yuk-gang not speaking: "Mr. Youde, when you proposed to build a subway from Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai, and at the same time build a tunnel from Tsuen Wan through Tai Lam Country Park to Yuen Long, I wonder how the government decided?"
Youde also knew that he had formally proposed these two transportation plans, coupled with his own planning of the university town and the high-tech park, which made these real estate developers flock to him, and their government made a lot of profits on the land transfer.
Originally, he planned to use the funds to build these two projects, but now that the Ministry of Finance has stuck with him, and many officials and parliamentarians have expressed opposition, he cannot insist on pursuing this project.
Fortunately, now that the situation in Xiangjiang is gradually becoming clearer, he has seen hope for these two plans, and now he has summoned these real estate groups to come over, hoping that they can also contribute to this aspect.
The Ministry of Finance and the Land Department are reluctant to give up the construction of the subway, but they are unwilling to invest in the construction of the Dalan Tunnel, which is a highway.
You Tak said with a smile: "Rest assured, the Hung Hom to Tin Shui Wai subway project will be built by our government, and now the government is planning to officially start construction this year, once the subway is put into operation, the development of Tin Shui Wai will be unlimited." ”
Hearing that the MTR will be put into construction this year, these leaders present are very happy, at least their investment in Tin Shui Wai will not be at a loss.
And the biggest beneficiary is the Li Consortium and the Heung Kong Consortium, they have developed the most projects, the location is also the best, their real estate is next to several universities and Tin Shui Wai Industrial Park, the surrounding area is surrounded by them, other real estate groups can only develop in the periphery of their development.
Seeing that everyone was happy, Youde struck while the iron was hot and said: "As for the highway, our government intends to contract out the Dalan Tunnel, which will be invested by the outside world, and after the construction is completed, it can be operated for a fee, and it has the right to operate for 30 years, I wonder if anyone here intends to invest in this project?"
The conference room immediately fell silent, this tunnel investment is not a small amount, whether it can get a good profit in the future is also an unknown number, plus the families have been affected by the collapse of the Xiangjiang property market in recent years, and the funds in their hands are already in short supply, and now they are not willing to invest in it.
Li Guangyu is very interested in this investment, he is very aware of the busyness of this tunnel in the future, and the future profit is very considerable, you must know that after a series of investments in Tin Shui Wai, the future will be better and better, and this tunnel is an important passage linking the urban area and Tin Shui Wai, and the future income is unpredictable.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Guangyu said: "I have some interest in this tunnel, and if the conditions are right, we Kowloon Group are willing to invest in this project and make a little contribution to Heung Kong Transportation." ”
Once the subway and highway are opened, the development of Tin Shui Wai will be more rapid, and once the high-tech development over there is success, then the future sub-center of Xiangjiang will land in Tin Shui Wai, and as a planner in this regard, he will also leave a strong mark in Xiangjiang.
At the same time, the rapid economic development of Hong Kong can also let the British headquarters know its ability, which is conducive to returning to China to engage in politics.
