Chapter 529: Shenzhen-Hong Kong Integration

"We are now promoting the Deep Bay Bridge project to connect the two sides of the harbor!" The slightly old voice of the team leader sounded.

After retiring from the front-line position, he personally served as the leader of the working group, sitting in the working group, and continued to shine for the development of China and the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.

Liu Tao nodded slightly. He had heard about this when he came to Hong Kong.

This proposal triggered a big discussion in the whole of Hong Kong about how Hong Kong should position itself to communicate with the mainland during the transition period and after the return.

This bridge is about five kilometers long, plus the two bridgehead connecting lines, which is about six or seven kilometers.

Such a bridge is unimaginable for Hong Kong.

Similarly, for China now, it is also unimaginable, because such a large cross-sea bridge has never been built in China before.

Liu Tao is very recognized for the Deep Bay Cross-Sea Bridge. Such a bridge can undoubtedly accelerate the development of deep-sea economic integration and enhance the potential of Hong Kong's economy, especially Hong Kong's industry. This is undoubtedly very critical for Hong Kong, and it is also a hundred benefits without any harm!

In the final analysis, Hong Kong is too small!

The entire Hong Kong area is only 1106.66 square kilometers, which is less than the area of ​​a county in a coastal city on the mainland.

No matter how it develops, the land area will limit the future of Hong Kong, that is to say, the ceiling of Hong Kong is there.

The population of Hong Kong will reach 10 million at most.

As for the industry, Hong Kong is destined to continuously upgrade its industry, adjust its industrial structure, gradually eliminate low-profit industries, and move towards high-profit industries.

In this regard, the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong to form a large international metropolitan area is a very good idea and is very suitable for Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

Once the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bridge is completed, there will be two bridges in and out of the two places, and with the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, the meaning will be completely different.

Not only will Hong Kong gain space for urban development, but Pengcheng can also develop faster with the help of Hong Kong.

"I heard that not only will the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bridge be built, but also a large international airport will be built?" Liu Tao smiled.

Hong Kong's annual tax revenue is quite a lot.

The working group will naturally urge the Hong Kong government to use this money for Hong Kong and benefit Hong Kong.

Infrastructure is the top priority.

This is true for building subways, building the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Bridge, and building a large international airport to keep the money in Hong Kong instead of being taken away by the British.

The leader smiled and said, "Yes, after our discussion, we think it is necessary to build another airport in Hong Kong, a large international airport!"

"Now Hong Kong is our window to the world and a bridge from overseas to the mainland. The demand for aviation is increasing. I am afraid that Kai Tak Airport will soon be unable to afford it." The leader said.

Kai Tak Airport is a civil airport in Hong Kong. It is located in the Kowloon City District. Its name comes from the place name "Kai Tak Bin" of the original site in the early 20th century. The official name of the airport is Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport or Hong Kong International Airport.

The current Kai Tak Airport is one of the busiest international airports in the world, ranking third in international passenger traffic and first in cargo traffic.

However, the extremely busy Kai Tak Airport is an airport located in the city center, with only one runway, surrounded by high-density buildings, and very small space.

Because of the existence of Kai Tak Airport, the height of buildings in Kowloon City is restricted, which is not conducive to the development of Kowloon City.

Once the new international airport is built, the height of buildings in Kowloon City will no longer be restricted, which will promote the development of Kowloon City.

Liu Tao sighed: "The total investment of this international airport is probably 100 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

This is undoubtedly a huge investment for Hong Kong.

This piece of cake is quite huge, enough to make many people's wealth soar.

An international airport is not just an airport, it often includes surrounding land, properties, warehouses, hotels, etc.

In particular, the international airport will be chosen in Chek Lap Kok, which is a very desolate place for Hong Kong now. It is 34 kilometers away from the city, and the airport area will reach 21~30 square kilometers.

As for the outlying islands where it is located, it is composed of more than 20 large and small islands, with an area of ​​168 square kilometers.

Liu Tao can imagine that because this large international airport project will directly take the entire outlying island, it will be a capital feast, or a real estate feast.

Because of the appearance of Liu Tao, the butterfly, it can be said that the economic structure of Hong Kong has been completely changed. Originally, with the large-scale migration of factories to the north in the 1980s, Hong Kong's industry gradually fell into hollowing out, and the real estate industry began to stand out and became the pillar industry driving Hong Kong's economy.

However, because Liu Tao bought at a low price, in order to stabilize Hong Kong, he took advantage of the low point of Hong Kong and invested in factories, including semiconductors, computers, motorcycles, automobiles, home appliances, etc., so that these high value-added industries quickly replaced the original textile, clothing, toys and other industries, prompting Hong Kong's entire industry to complete the upgrade and transformation.

A huge industrial cluster was formed around these, so that Hong Kong's manufacturing industry not only did not decline, but instead flourished.

Especially the electronics-related industries!

The capital market is undoubtedly the most sensitive to this change, because the return rate of investment in electronics-related industries is very guaranteed, so commercial banks are willing to provide credit support for the expansion of the scale of electronics factories. Securities companies are also willing to provide guidance for the listing financing of electronics companies, and even venture capital is very generous to pay for various reliable or unreliable new ideas.

This has led to the new rich people in Hong Kong in recent years often engaged in electronics-related industries. Many very young and highly educated young people have emerged and become the new generation of rich people in Hong Kong.

As for traditional businessmen, they originally opened industries such as textiles, toys, and clothing, and they all went north to open their production in the mainland, especially in coastal areas, and Guangdong Province is densely populated. Traditional real estate developers, in addition to engaging in real estate development in Hong Kong, are developing real estate in the north.

Although there are various restrictions, such as starting construction two years after obtaining land, completing construction within a few years, and paying a deposit, the advantage is that there is a strong demand for houses in the mainland. Although only a part of the people can afford houses, the market is undoubtedly much larger than that in Hong Kong.

Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, etc., all have real estate developers from Hong Kong developing real estate projects. Once these real estate projects are completed and put on sale, they often cause a sensation in the whole city and are scrambled for.

Of course, there is no pre-sale system in the mainland at that time. All real estate projects can only be sold after they are completed. As for the common area, there is no such concept. The area is the area.

As for the newly rich people in Hong Kong, they are either in the electronics-related industry or engaged in overseas trade services.

But most of them are knowledge-based entrepreneurs. Once they succeed, they often become billionaires in two or three years and become famous in Hong Kong.

In recent years, companies in the electronics industry have accounted for almost half of the companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
