Chapter 523 Yang Ming’s huge land reclamation plan shocked Mailihao

Chapter 523 Yang Ming’s huge land reclamation plan shocked Mailihao!

If Yang Ming and the three major Haojiang families were to reclaim land that would be ten times larger than it is now, it would already be a big plan for Haojiang.

But, for Yang Ming.

His bigger plan is the land reclamation project in Hong Kong.

Like Haojiang, Xiangjiang has been undergoing land reclamation.

The first-generation Huifeng Bank Building had the sea in front of it. However, through land reclamation, it became the center of the Central District of Xiangjiang.

There has also been land reclamation in Tsim Sha Tsui. Except for Tsim Sha Tsui, places like Causeway Bay have almost all reclaimed land to form the new Hong Kong land.

In other words, Xiangjiang has always been a city that reclaimed land from the sea. It's just that the speed doesn't seem obvious, and many people don't know it.

Similar to Xiangjiang, such as Tokyo Bay and Xinjiapo, there is also large-scale land reclamation.

In history, Hu Yingxiang of Hopewell Real Estate proposed that if Xiangjiang allowed him to legally reclaim land, he could become the world's richest man in minutes.

However, Hu Yingxiang could only talk.

Because the real opposition behind this is not the Governor's Palace.

It is the huge alliance of real estate developers behind it, especially the four major families in history.

Once upon a time, after returning from Xiangjiang, Mr. Dong and others had been trying to solve the housing problem in Xiangjiang.

Among them, several directions are proposed.

In addition to developing the New Territories North, developing more houses in the New Territories North, such as low-cost housing, is an attempt to solve the housing problem as much as possible, but it was rejected.

Later, someone proposed that a huge landmass should be filled in near Lantau Island and in the center of Hong Kong Island. Residential areas could be built on this land and could accommodate hundreds of thousands to millions of people, which would completely solve the problem for ordinary people. Housing is difficult in Xiangjiang.

However, this plan was proposed very early, and until Yang Ming came to this world, it was actually just a plan, because the opposition behind it was too great.

It is impossible for those Xiangjiang real estate developers who hoard large amounts of land to let you do that.

Things are rare and valuable.

So does the house.

If a large number of such houses appear in Xiangjiang, then to whom will they sell the high-priced houses they develop every year?

So how do they get more wealth?

At that time, it was simply impossible.

Now, Yang Ming is targeting those ordinary people who live in cage houses. Yang Ming knows that these people may never have to think about buying their own house in Xiangjiang in their lifetime.

Because the housing prices in Xiangjiang are getting higher and higher, even if there may be a sharp drop by the end of next year, for the ordinary class, even the hundreds of thousands of people living in cage houses, they still cannot afford it.

In fact, they cannot afford to rent even a larger single apartment.

Yang Ming and Mailihao had just proposed a land reclamation plan, and Mailihao was a little shocked.

"Sir Yang, isn't there land reclamation in Xiangjiang all the time?"

Tsim Sha Tsui, even Tsim Sha Tsui East, and Xiangjiang have always had land reclamation. Last year, all of it was bought by the Wharf Group, a subsidiary of the Empire Group, at a high price.

"Mr. Governor, I'm not talking about that. In areas such as Tsim Sha Tsui and Victoria Harbor, the land value of commercial areas in those places is very expensive. It is impossible to develop them as places for ordinary people to live. My plan is to develop them in these areas." .”

Yang Ming saw that there was a map of Hong Kong in Mailihao's study.

Yang Ming pointed to this sea area.

"Reclamation of land in these places will create a large amount of land, and a lot of houses can be built. These houses can be rented to low-income people to live in."

These places?

Mailihao was surprised.

This place is too big.

"Sir Yang, this place is so big, how much investment do we need?"

"The investment is certainly huge. But the earlier you invest, the lower the cost."

Because there are various costs involved.

Like labor costs.

Reclamation materials, etc.

This place.

Yang Ming knew that it belonged to the deep sea. If the land was reclaimed from the sea, it would be different from the Haojiang River.

The Haojiang River is a shallow sea with a large amount of silt accumulated, which can be solved by sand blowing boats.

These places really need more reclamation materials.

Including a lot of soil, sand and gravel, etc.

"Sir Yang, where did you find so much sand, gravel and soil?"

Yang Ming pointed to a place next to him.

When Mailihao saw it, he was stunned.

The place Yang Ming was referring to was none other than Lantau Island.

Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, covering an area of ​​nearly 147 square kilometers. Apart from this, it is almost dominated by mountains, except for the later construction of the new Lantau International Airport in the north of Lantau Island.

Because it is far away from the city, few people live there.

In addition to some indigenous people, some may be new immigrants, and some may be Dan people who live on the water all year round.

In other words, except for the high mountains, there is almost no development in Lantau Island.

It's really high up here and there's a lot of dirt.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it is the most natural material for land reclamation.

In addition to being developed and excavated as natural materials for land reclamation, the newly developed Lantau Island can also be used as new development land, killing two birds with one stone.

Mailihao was really shocked.

He didn't expect Sir Yang to have already considered this step.

I'm afraid this is not something he can solve.

What's more, it is already 1980, and he has been the governor for nine consecutive years. I am afraid that he will leave Xiangjiang in another two years. Sir Yang's huge plan, even if he has the heart to support it, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it by then. Going back to London.

This means that a new governor will be replaced by then.

"Sir Yang, even if I have my heart to support you, there is nothing I can do. Your plan is too huge, even bigger than the home ownership plan I proposed."

Mailihao said helplessly.

He also hopes to make changes.

He was leaving soon, and as Sir Yang proposed this plan, he could not carry it out.

"Mr. Governor, what do you mean?"

"I will work for a maximum of two years and then return to London. I really can't help you complete your huge land reclamation plan."

Judging from the series of measures proposed by Sir Yang such as canceling the shared area, he felt that Sir Yang did not seem to be a purely greedy capitalist.

Now he is proposing a so-called huge reclamation plan. He knows that Sir Yang sincerely hopes to solve the housing problem of ordinary people at the bottom of Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming thought he was talking about something.

Of course he knew that MacLehose left Hong Kong and returned to London in May 1982. As for the governor who succeeded him, he was actually the unlucky governor in history, Jude, who died in office.

Yude died of a heart attack, but later it was reported in the Xiangjiang Feng Shui community that he was killed during a Feng Shui battle.

Whether that was the case, Yang Ming didn't know.

However, Yang Ming was not familiar with that Jude.

On the contrary, Mai Lihao has been with him for a long time and is relatively familiar with him. The other party is a very accomplished person and is very supportive of his development in all aspects. Including Yang Ming’s acquisition of Xiangjiang Water Company, Jardine Land, etc.

Although Mai Lihao had to support him, he did not cause any other problems, which meant that he got along well with the other party.
