"Did you guys come here early?" Su Cheng asked in surprise when he walked up to them.
"Boss, we set off from the Central Pier at around six o'clock. The boat sailed directly to the Taipa Island Pier. It was only eight o'clock when we got here, so we have been here for more than half an hour." Yang Chaoye explained.
They came here on a private yacht. They could park wherever they wanted. They did not need to dock at a fixed dock, so they did not need to pass by the Haojiang Peninsula.
Su Cheng nodded and walked into the gate of the construction site with them.
The entire large construction site has been fenced off.
Not long after entering the gate, there is a large temporary red stage.
This is the place built for the groundbreaking ceremony held today.
A very large red poster has been pasted on it, which reads "Groundbreaking Ceremony of Tai Tam Mountain Industrial Park, Haojiang Taipa Island" in a dozen large characters.
Under the big characters, there are also written Hutchison Whampoa Group and Su Group, as well as today's time.
Thousands of people have come to the scene.
Most of them were construction workers. They were wearing safety helmets and lined up neatly under the stage waiting for the groundbreaking ceremony to begin. It was very spectacular.
On the left side of the stage, there are also a large number of engineering vehicles parked, such as bulldozers, excavators, forklifts, concrete mixer trucks, cranes, dump trucks, etc., dozens of them neatly arranged in a rectangular shape The phalanx looks powerful just by looking at it.
On the stage, in addition to the two group CEOs Yang Chaoye and Wei Li, there are also many group executives and heads of subsidiaries. There are more than a hundred executives here.
In addition, a lion dance team came to the scene to support the groundbreaking ceremony.
For this groundbreaking ceremony, in addition to Governor Ichidi, all the top leaders of major Haojiang departments including the Department of Economic Development, Department of Administration and Justice, Police Department, Immigration Bureau, etc. were invited.
Not surprisingly, all the invited officials agreed to attend.
After all, in Haojiang, no one can be denied face, but Su Cheng’s face cannot be denied.
With the care of these people, there will be basically no obstacles to Su City’s investment here.
Except for government officials, no one else, including those from associations and the entertainment industry, was invited because it was unnecessary.
"Boss, leaders, government officials are here." While Su Cheng was chatting with Yang Chaoye, Wei Li and others, a staff member walked over quickly to report.
"Come on, let's go out to greet him together." Su Cheng said with a smile.
“Okay.”
More than a hundred people walked out of the door together.
"Mr. Governor, welcome to your presence." As soon as Izhidi got off the car, Su Cheng took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with him.
After all, the reason why I can come here is to give him face.
"Congratulations, Mr. Su, for taking another step forward in your career." Izidi laughed.
Afterwards, Sioux City also shook hands with major government officials one by one.
At nine twelve minutes, the groundbreaking ceremony officially began.
The project introduction, speech, etc., went through the process step by step, and it was very smooth. When the last step of the process, the formal foundation laying, was held, Su Cheng and others already had a new spade tied with red silk in their hands.
At this time, drums were beaten and firecrackers were fired.
First, Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye, and Wei Li held new spades tied with red silk in their hands to lay the soil for the foundation stone. Then, the host, Izhidi and other guests began to lay the soil for it.
At this point, the groundbreaking ceremony ended smoothly.
At the scene, more than a thousand people burst into applause and couldn't stop for a long time.
This is the largest project developed by Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa in Haojiang.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, Izhidi and other senior Haojiang government officials did not leave immediately.
As one of the people in charge of the industrial park, Wei Li led the crowd and introduced the future plan of the place. After the industrial park is completed, every building here will have its purpose. .
Soon, everyone arrived at the seaside in the south.
“The land area in Haojiang is still too small. I want to increase investment here, but it is limited by the small land area.” Looking at Coloane Island not far away, Su Cheng sighed. Thousands.
This is said to be the sea, but in fact a mangrove forest has formed. The sea water is very shallow, and some of the black mud on the seabed is even exposed. Basically, the seabed can be seen directly from the entire sea area.
Looking outside the seawall in the southeast direction, Su Cheng and others could see many oyster farms. The rows of oysters floating on the sea were very spectacular.
Actually, the sea water here was not that shallow before the 1960s. After the Cotai-Taipa Highway was built, the water flow on the west side slowed down, gradually forming an ecological landscape of mangroves.
The Cotai-Taipa Highway is a seawall, 5 meters above sea level, extending southward from Macau in Taipa to Seac Pai Bay in Coloane. This has resulted in insufficient water flow on the west side of the seawall, and gradually A low-lying area of sea water was formed and became a shoal.
In the future, this area will be filled directly into land and become Cotai City.
“Yes, Haojiang is indeed too small. It is so small that our economic development will easily encounter bottlenecks. We have to develop the entertainment industry to maintain the vitality of Haojiang’s economy. All along, Haojiang also continued to reclaim land through its own efforts, and its land area continued to expand, eventually forming its current scale
But compared with Xiangjiang, our Haojiang is just a small place. It doesn’t take much effort to visit all of it. This is our helplessness. "Although Izhidi came to Haojiang not long ago from Portugal, as the governor of Haojiang, he knows much more about Haojiang than Su City.
Haojiang is different from Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang Although it is small, at least the area is sufficient, dozens of times that of Haojiang. Despite this, Xiangjiang is still continuously reclaiming land from the sea to expand its usable area.
As for Haojiang, The total land area is only about 20 square kilometers, and most of it was created from the sea.
In the world before Su City crossed over, the total area of Haojiang exceeded 30 square kilometers. 32.8 square kilometers. In the opinion of many people, this area is too small, not even comparable to the area of an ordinary town.
In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the land area of Haojiang was only about 10 square kilometers, and it has doubled since then.
It can be seen that the scale and intensity of land reclamation in Haojiang are not crazy, and this method of increasing land through reclamation still continues today.
The shape and size of Haojiang is as elusive as her future.
"Mr. Governor, why don't we directly reclaim the land between Taipa Island and Coloane Island? In this way, the usable area of the Haojiang River can be greatly increased. Not only that, the seawater to the east The depth is not high, and it can also be reclaimed from the sea. If the land area of Haojiang increases significantly, then I will have enough space to invest, otherwise everything is empty talk. "
Looking at the southeast. Facing the vast sea, Su Cheng suggested. (End of chapter)
