Chapter 276 Twins
“In terms of time.” Bai Liji paused and said, “Is it too late?”
“It’s too late.” Yang Wendong said, “I have invited people from the mainland to Relevant experts came to Hong Kong to find a suitable location and also discussed the size of the museum;
In terms of design, I have also contacted an American construction company. They have already started to inspect museums in Europe and the United States, and then they will Adapt measures to local conditions to quickly design a museum that suits Hong Kong;
As for architecture, Mr. Governor, you should know better than me that the construction speed in Hong Kong is extremely fast, so there is no need to worry about this. ”
"It seems that Yang Sheng has been ready for a long time." Bai Liji said with a smile.
He already knows that Yang Wendong built this museum to focus on Chinese culture, which is normal. He himself is Chinese, and he also promised to introduce some antiques from British culture.
However, this matter does not just require his agreement. It requires cooperation from the British side. He, the Hong Kong governor, is not sure whether it can succeed. Now it seems that the mainland has cooperated with him.
As the governor of Hong Kong, it is not easy for him to interfere in this matter, otherwise he will easily be left speechless.
What attracts him the most is leaving his name and portrait in the museum. Although the portraits and life achievements of successive Hong Kong governors are recorded within the Hong Kong Governor's Office, who will look at such records? Compared with the museum, it is thousands of times worse.
Yang Wendong said: "Of course, I will tell you when everything is ready. With your support, I think this museum will definitely become the most meaningful cultural asset in Hong Kong's history;
Even after a hundred years, the museum building may be old and need to be demolished, but the cultural legacy will not be.” I support Hong Kong to have its own cultural museum.”
He is really moved. After all, it will be a famous building in Hong Kong. It will be completed during his tenure. After that, when he is recorded in books, it will also be. I'll make a payment.
Even in the future, when people record the history of the museum, they will mention him. This is more important.
Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong. With your consent, I think the museum will be completed and opened before the end of next year."
If history had not changed, then Robert Brown would have left in early 1964 Hong Kong ended his 15-year career as governor of Hong Kong. This length of time can be said to be the longest in Hong Kong.
However, in history, the halo of all Hong Kong governors has been suppressed by MacLehose. If Robert Brickey's name and portrait are left in the museum, it will really mean something to him. It's important.
There are really not many Hong Kong governors who can resist this project. Anyway, it doesn’t require him to spend money. Even the Hong Kong government doesn’t have to spend money. It can also earn a piece of land money, as well as future taxes, and personal fame.
Boliji asked again: "Yang Sheng, I know the area of the museum has not been determined yet, but what is your initial plan?"
"It's hard to say." Yang Wendong replied: "Of course, the bigger, the better. I believe that Hong Kong will definitely become a big city comparable to Tokyo in the future, so not only locals, but also many tourists will come to Hong Kong in the future. They will also become guests of the museum in the future. "
Although he does not plan to rely on the museum to hoard land, it is indeed a good business in itself, and the larger the land area, the better.
Especially with the support of the Hong Kong government, we can get land cheaply from the policy.
Blicki said: "I am also very optimistic about Hong Kong's economy in the future, so the area of this museum should be larger. As for the land, as long as it is not in the economic center, I will help you solve it."
"That would be great." Yang Wendong said with a smile: "After the location is determined, I will try to build it as big as possible."
Now the Hong Kong Governor is in the same boat with him. After all, if the museum is big and magnificent, it can attract more people to visit and improve his reputation. Why not?
Boliji added: "You don't have to worry about funds. I will let HSBC give you a suitable limit and interest. This can be regarded as a public project after all."
" Thank you very much, Mr. Hong Kong Governor." Yang Wendong thanked him again.
Museums are indeed considered public works. In many countries, they are controlled by the government.
But in Hong Kong, in addition to tap water, various businesses involving public infrastructure and people's livelihood are companies with exclusive rights.
Bai Liji said: "Yes, I hope Yang Sheng can abide by what he promised today, and I am very grateful."
"There will definitely be no problem." Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Although today's "transaction" is not illegal, it is not a good thing if it is actually spread, so it is impossible to form an agreement on paper.
Then we can only hope that Yang Wendong will keep his promise. After all, when Bai Liji retires from the position of Hong Kong Governor, he will no longer be able to control Hong Kong affairs.
However, he will not break the contract, even if it is a verbal promise, or no outsider knows, this is a person's basic morality, and there is no need to do that.
"OK." Bai Liji was also very satisfied: "I will also arrange for people to participate in this matter. The Hong Kong government also needs to participate in the site selection process of public projects. At most, we can negotiate together."
"No Question." Yang Wendong agreed.
The Hong Kong government participated in this matter, so it was justifiable to change the name
Three days later, people from the mainland arrived in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong government also invited two museum experts from the UK. In addition to Changxing Real Estate and Pei Jinming Architects, the four parties formed a joint inspection team;
They will conduct a comprehensive inspection of Hong Kong's climate, location, transportation and other factors, and then decide on the location and location of the museum. size.
Yang Wendong’s only request is that the museum needs to be on Hong Kong Island. After all, whether now or in the future, Hong Kong Island’s population density, per capita consumption power, traffic roads, number of overseas tourists, etc. have always been far ahead of the Kowloon Peninsula.
Time soon came to the end of the month. On April 30, Yang Wendong held another wedding, this time with Bai Yushan.
The address where the banquet is held is at the Miramar Hotel, which is the place where Li Ka-shing and Lee Shau-kee, one of the four major families, fell out over each other in the 1990s.
Yang Wendong generously booked a building of the Miramar Hotel very early on. Today, only guests from both wedding parties can come in here.
“Congratulations, congratulations~~~”
Many people came to the venue one after another and congratulated the bride and groom.
Yang Wendong and Bai Yushan also received them one by one. However, compared to the previous time, many distinguished guests came, as well as ordinary friends or business partners on both sides.
"Yang Sheng, Miss Bai, congratulations." Mr. Sanders, the senior manager of HSBC Bank, came over with a smile, holding a beautiful box in his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Sanders." Yang Wendong also replied politely.
This person can be said to be the person with the highest status in this wedding banquet.
"This is a little gift from me, please accept it." Sanders handed over the gift he had prepared.
Yang Wendong took the gift and said: "Thank you."
Sanders said again: "Yang Sheng, Miss Bai is the youngest and most capable employee of our HSBC Bank. You have to treat her well."
"Don't worry, Mr. Sanders," Yang Wendong said with a smile.
Sanders added: "Then I'll go in first and won't disturb you two."
"Okay, please." Yang Wendong pointed the way.
Afterwards, after all the banquet guests arrived, the wedding continued as planned and did not end until around 9 o'clock.
After all the guests left, Yang Wendong and Bai Yushan left in the wedding car.
The next day, the two also went to Europe for a honeymoon.
Ten days later, on May 10, Yang Wendong returned to Hong Kong again.
After getting off the plane, Bai Yushan's face was not very good. Yang Wendong asked with concern: "What's the matter, airsickness?"
"It shouldn't be. I've flown many times before and I didn't get it. I've experienced airsickness." Bai Yushan shook her head and said.
Yang Wendong thought for a moment and said, "Is it because of the previous airflow?"
"Probably not." Bai Yushan paused and said, "Actually, it's too late for me. It’s been a week.”
"A week?" Yang Wendong immediately understood the meaning and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Bai Yushan explained: "I'm not sure, I've had this kind of situation before, but it's It may be a physical reason, I don’t know if it is there even now.”
“Then go to the hospital directly,” Yang Wendong said, and then said to a life assistant next to him: “Let’s go to the nearest airport. The hospital."
"Okay." The assistant agreed quickly.
Then the convoy turned and drove to a nearby hospital.
"The hospital here is a bit small." This was Yang Wendong's first feeling after arriving at the hospital.
The assistant explained: "Hospitals in Kowloon Peninsula are like this. They can't compare with Hong Kong Island. There are few people here and the economy is not good. It will naturally be like this."
"That's true." Yang Wendong nodded and said : "Let's go and have a look first."
The economy on the Kowloon Peninsula is indeed taking off, especially the large number of factories of Changxing Group here that have driven economic development.
But it is far behind Hong Kong Island. Therefore, except for a few town centers, even the commercial facilities and roads are not very good in other places, and the same is naturally true for hospitals.
Yang Wendong did not take advantage of his status and privileges, but pretended to be an ordinary rich man, spent money to join the queue, and soon fell in love with the doctor.
An old Chinese doctor about 50 years old put his hand on Bai Yushan's pulse and pondered for a long time.
"How is it?" Yang Wendong asked softly.
Without B-ultrasound, when you may have just become pregnant, you can only use the most traditional method: taking the pulse with traditional Chinese medicine.
I have to say, it is really amazing. By relying on the pulse beat by beat, Chinese medicine can identify possible problems in various parts of the body, and can also tell whether a woman is pregnant.
"Pregnant." The female Chinese medicine doctor frowned slightly: "It feels like twins."
"Twins? Really?" Yang Wendong was also overjoyed. Who could not be happy to have two children at once?
It’s not like an ordinary family can’t afford it, even twenty people are no problem.
The female Chinese medicine doctor said: "I feel so, and judging from the pulse, at least one of them is a girl."
"Can men and women be judged by taking the pulse?" Yang Wendong asked in surprise.
"There is some accuracy, but there is no guarantee." The female Chinese medicine doctor said with a smile: "You can go to other doctors to confirm, but the twins should be real."
"Okay, thank you doctor." Yang Wendong was polite said.
