Chapter 340 Article 2 is the most suitable place to build here
“Thank you very much for your support. It is because of you that Xiangjiang has maintained its prosperity. As for the plan, we don’t have a clear plan yet. This is also One of the reasons why I called you here," Governor Mailihao praised.
Although important infrastructure such as the undersea tunnel is the task of the government and is planned by the Heung Kong Planning Department.
But before planning, you must listen to other people’s opinions.
For example, it will be very helpful for the following work to seek their opinions before the plan is finalized.
"Everyone, please follow me." Mailihao said directly.
Everyone stood up one after another and followed Mailihao to the map of Xiangjiang in the office.
This map of Xiangjiang is hung on the wall not far from the living room. It is very huge and is so detailed that every street and village road in Xiangjiang is clearly marked.
And, judging from the time marked above, this is the latest map for this year.
“This map of Hong Kong is under the responsibility of our Lands Department and is updated once a year. This map was updated just two months ago,” said MacLeahout.
Everyone nodded and looked at the map carefully, trying to find places they were interested in.
The same goes for Sioux City. He quickly discovered the locations of Oracle Computer Company, Tuen Mun Oil Base, etc.
If it is a map sold outside, these places will not be marked at all.
However, Su Cheng did not find a label indicating the training base of Tianhe International Bodyguard Company in Sheung Wan. The training base itself is a relatively secretive place and it is necessary to keep it confidential, so Tianhe Company naturally also I won’t take the initiative to report it.
“Everyone is very aware of the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel. Construction started in 1968 and it was completed and opened to traffic in 1972. It has been ten years since the construction started. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to build a second undersea tunnel. "Let's talk about where we should build the second undersea tunnel," MacLeahout said, holding a long stick and pointing to the location of the Hung Hom undersea tunnel.
"Let me talk first." At this time, Shen Bi stood up and said with a smile.
At this time, everyone looked at Shen Bi to see what he had in mind.
"Mr. Shen Bi, please speak." Mailihao made a gesture of invitation.
“Currently, our Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel has heavy traffic during peak hours, which shows that the vast majority of people move between the Kowloon Peninsula and Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, and Causeway Bay, so I suggest The second undersea tunnel is built between Austin and Sheung Wan, so that the new undersea tunnel can be far away from the Hung Hom undersea tunnel and can well share the traffic flow of the Hung Hom undersea tunnel." Shen Bi took over from MacLeah. He held the long stick in his hand and pointed at the map while speaking.
“I think Mr. Shen Bi’s plan is very good, and I very much agree with Mr. Shen Bi’s plan.” At this time, Yihe Taipan Tuan Bijian said with great agreement.
Tuan Bijian supports Shen Bi's plan purely for his own benefit.
Most of the properties of Jardine Matheson and Land are located in the places mentioned by Shen Bi. If the second undersea tunnel is as mentioned by Shen Bi, it will basically be located in Sheung Wan, Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and If Kowloon Peninsula, the core area of Xiangjiang city center, is built between Austin and Sheung Wan, it will naturally be of great benefit to Jardine's industries.
“I think that an undersea tunnel can be built from Whampoa Dockyard to North Point, which is more suitable than the plan proposed by Mr. Shen Bi. Compared with the Sheung Wan side, North Point has more people flow. After completion, it will also bring good development to the central location of the northern part of Hong Kong Island," said Taiban Shiyok of Swire Investment.
“I think the core area of Xiangjiang city center has reached a development bottleneck, so the goal cannot always be on the Kowloon Peninsula and the two sides of Victoria Harbor. Therefore, everyone might as well shift their attention to the eastern region.” Charter boat Wang made his own suggestions.
The first undersea tunnel in Xiangjiang, the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, was invested by the Charter King. After investing in the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, he made a lot of money from this tunnel.
If another tunnel is built in the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, it will definitely divide part of the traffic flow of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel.
So, the opinion of the charter boat king is naturally that he hopes that the Cross-Harbour Tunnel will be far away from the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel.
In another world, from its completion in 1972 to 1999 when the Charter King transferred the operating rights to the Hong Kong government for free, the Charter King family made tens of billions in total from the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel.
You can imagine how much money this tunnel attracts!
Everyone expressed their opinions and soon had several plans.
"Mr. Su, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone else expressed their thoughts, but Su Cheng remained silent, Governor Mailihao took the initiative to ask.
Others also looked at Su Cheng.
After all, Su Cheng is now the veritable richest man in the world. In the world's business community, his status is getting higher and higher. If you put it in the whole world, only the chartering king is like this. status, even Shen Bi couldn't do it.
The chartered ship king is recognized as the world's shipping king. Although he cannot be the richest man in the world, his status in the world is very high. If you go to the beautiful country, even the president of the beautiful country will personally receive him.
As for Shen Bi, his status is only very high in Xiangjiang. Except for Xiangjiang and the United Kingdom, his popularity in other places is actually the same.
Su Cheng took the long stick and pointed the tip of the stick between the Kwun Tong Cha Kwo Green and Quarry Bay on the Hong Kong Island without thinking at all.
“Everyone, I think it is most appropriate to build the second undersea tunnel here!” Su Cheng said slowly.
He actually doesn’t need to think about it at all, because the future second undersea tunnel in Hong Kong, the Eastern Harbor Crossing, will be located here.
However, the construction of the Eastern Harbor Crossing did not start until 1986, which is still nearly 8 years away from now.
Therefore, the plan has naturally not been finalized yet.
After the completion of the Eastern Harbor Crossing, the traffic flow will definitely not be as high as that of the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel. After all, the location determines the traffic flow.
However, after the completion of the Eastern Harbor Crossing, the traffic flow will be half that of the Hung Hom Harbor Tunnel, which is much better than the third completed Western Harbor Tunnel.
"Mr. Su, please tell me your opinion." Governor Mailihao said.
"What Mr. Bao said is part of the reason. In addition, whether it is North Point or Kwun Tong, there are many factories. These factories produce a large amount of goods that need to be transported to the other side. At the same time, they also strengthen the The connection between Kwun Tong and Hong Kong Island, so it is very necessary to build an undersea tunnel between Kwun Tong and North Point. If you take a detour to Hung Hom or Causeway Bay, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, if you set your sights In the longer term, it is most suitable to build the second undersea tunnel here!" Su Cheng said slowly.
