Chapter 1503 Yang Ming’s crazy bridge-building plan!

New Year's Day.

In the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa, the Yang family's place is quiet.

Apart from Ah Zhu and Li Jiaxin, there were bodyguards and servants.

"gentlemen."

It was a rare occasion that no one else was here, and Li Jiaxin seemed even more pampered in front of Yang Ming.

"Sir, today is the first day of the new year. Where are we going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Now everyone else in the villa is on vacation, and Lin Zhiling has gone to accompany her parents from Taiwan.

"Wherever the gentleman goes, I go."

"Then after breakfast, I'll take you to the place."

When Yang Ming, Li Jiaxin and Ah Zhu went to have breakfast.

After breakfast, call the bodyguard.

However, in order to keep a low profile, Yang Ming did not get in his Rolls-Royce, but got into an ordinary car with Li Jiaxin and Azhu.

Even so, this ordinary car is equipped with bulletproof glass.

"Boss, where are we going?" Chen Zhenhua asked.

"Let's go to Yuen Long first."

Chen Zhenhua then drove towards Yuen Long.

Compared to the 1970s and 1980s, there are now more and more highways and viaducts in Hong Kong city.

In the past, traveling to the Northern New Territories was very troublesome, especially by car, and it took a long time. However, since Yang Ming developed the Hong Kong Science Park in the Northern New Territories, the Northern New Territories in Hong Kong has become the fastest-growing area.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to go to Yuen Long.

Even then, you still have to go through the Hung Hom Tunnel or the Western Link Tunnel.

"Zhenhua, what do you think about building a bridge over Victoria Harbor?"

Build a bridge?

Chen Zhenhua was a little shocked.

As for Li Jiaxin, Ah Zhu doesn't quite understand those things.

However, Yang Ming was very clear that originally, the Hong Kong Governor's Office had planned to build the Victoria Harbour Bridge, but they were afraid that it would affect the shipping in Victoria Harbour. In addition, they were also worried that it would affect the scenery on both sides of Victoria Harbour.

Some people are also worried that it will affect the feng shui of Victoria Harbour.

以至于红磡隧道于1969年9月1日动工，1972年8月2日通车。

Until now, as Hong Kong is still developing rapidly and its population is increasing, he feels that even if the West Line Tunnel and the East Line Tunnel are opened, they will not be able to meet Hong Kong's current traffic needs.

In other words, the bridge across the Victoria Harbour across the Hong Kong River still needs to be built.

In the past, Yang Ming also considered whether it would affect the shipping and scenery of Victoria Harbour.

Now it seems that none of this will have any impact.

On the contrary, if the bridge is well built, it will become a beautiful scenery.

Now, Chen Zhenhua naturally didn’t understand these things, but he was very surprised.

It looks like the boss and the Empire Group are going to make another big move.

Hong Kong’s population is now approaching 10 million, and it is becoming more and more prosperous.

Chen Zhenhua knew very well that this was inseparable from Yang Ming and the Empire Group.

Come out of the Hung Hom Tunnel and then cross the viaduct towards Yuen Long.

At this time, areas that used to belong to the suburbs of Kowloon are now becoming more and more prosperous.

Li Jiaxin was next to Yang Ming, looking outside, her eyes full of admiration for Yang Ming. She knew that almost everything outside was Yang Ming's property.

Drive all the way northwest.

On the viaduct, it is only more than 20 kilometers from here to Yuen Long, which is 34 minutes in a straight line.

In the past, it would take at least one or two hours to reach Yuen Long.

Now come down from the viaduct on the Yuen Long side.

"Boss, where to?"

"seaside."

Chen Zhenhua continued to walk towards the seaside in Yuen Long.

More than ten minutes passed.

At this time, we have arrived at the seaside of Yuen Long.

When Yang Ming, Li Jiaxin and Azhu got out of the car.

In addition to the Houhai Bay in front of him, Yang Ming could also see Nanshan, Shekou and other places in Shenzhen across the sea in the distance.

In 1992, when the old man went south to inspect Pengcheng, Yang Ming was standing opposite and watching this side.

At that time, the old man once said that he hoped to visit Hong Kong in person.

It is already 1996 now, and I don’t know whether the old man will still be like he was in history?

Yang Ming stood there, looking into the distance.

The mood is also very different at this time.

It is the Spring Festival now. The sea breeze and waves are still quite big and the weather is a bit cold.

However, it is now the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong in Hong Kong.

"What do you think of building a few more bridges from here to there?"

Build a bridge?

Historically, a highway called Pengcheng Bridge was indeed built in this place.

This bridge, formerly known as the Pengcheng Bay Highway Bridge, is a cross-sea bridge in China that connects the Nanshan District of Pengcheng with the Yuen Long District of Hong Kong. It is located above the Shenzhen Bay in the Lingdingyang and is one of the components of the western channel between the two places.

鹏城湾大桥于2003年8月28日动工建设；于2006年1月20日完成合龙；于2007年7月1日建成通车。

It can be said that the planning and construction were relatively late.

Of course, it was proposed in the 1990s, but it has never been built.

At this time, it was already 1996, and Yang Ming knew that it was time to start construction.

Moreover, it should not be just one, but three.

He is very clear that in the future Hong Kong can only maintain its status and influence if it actively integrates into the country and the Greater Bay Area. Otherwise, it will be eliminated.

Now seeing this, he knew that time was even more urgent.

"Sir, is that the Lingdingyang Bridge over there?" Li Jiaxin asked.

"Yes, that is the Lingdingyang Bridge."

The Lingdingyang Bridge began construction in 1993, and it has been more than three years now. However, as a world-class cross-sea bridge, it involves four major cities: Zhucheng, Haojiang, Pengcheng, and Xiangjiang. Once this world-class bridge is completed, it can be regarded as the first step in the integration of the Greater Bay Area.

Looking at it now, we can see that the bridge has basically taken shape, but it will take a few more years to be completely repaired.

However, Yang Ming knew that the integration speed of places like New Territories North and Pengcheng had to be accelerated.

For example, in Yang Ming's previous life, places like Futian in Pengcheng were considered the most developed places in Pengcheng. On the contrary, in the northern part of the New Territories across the Xiangjiang River, there were only fields and mausoleums not far away.

Compared with Pengcheng, the northern part of Hong Kong in history seemed to have no development at all.

However, things are different now. Yang Ming acquired a large amount of land in the northern New Territories to develop the Hong Kong Science and Education Park, which is now one of the most developed science and technology parks in the world.

At this time, the development and prosperity of the northern New Territories is no less than that of Silicon Valley, Zhongguancun in Yanjing, and the Xinzhu Science and Education Park in Taiwan.

However, in Yang Ming's view, Hong Kong will reach 97 in one year, and it is even more necessary to speed up its integration with the mainland to avoid missing out on development opportunities as it did in the past.

Now Yang Ming and others have seen it here at the beach.

Maybe because the wind and waves were too strong and there was a hint of cold air, Yang Ming couldn't help but sneeze. Li Jiaxin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gave it to Yang Ming.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's get in the car first."
