Chapter 1211 Lantau Island Enters the Era of Large-Scale Development!

July 29, 1988.

Friday.

Chairman's office at Empire Group headquarters.

Yang Ming just came to work from Repulse Bay Villa, Lin Xiuzhi and He Chaoxun have already arrived.

"Boss, this is the information about Yang's home ownership program."

Among them, the number of applicants exceeds 800,000.

However, according to the current population of more than 6 million in Hong Kong, the lowest income group of 10% of the population is more than 600,000. So there are more than 200,000 applicants, and many of them must not meet the requirements.

The information submitted by this part of people was directly blacklisted after being investigated and verified by the investigators.

More than 600,000 citizens are left.

However, the houses provided in Jiaoyizhou can only accommodate about 250,000 people at most, which means that the rest of the people can only wait for the second or even third batch of houses.

This matter may not be a big deal for Yang Ming, but it is a very important matter for the low-income groups in Hong Kong, which directly involves their interests.

Yang Ming took it and looked at it.

From these materials, he found that there are tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong who have zero income.

Why is there zero income?

In fact, these people's income is very unstable. Some of them pick up rags, and some do small business. However, the family's expenses are too much, which can be said to be beyond their means. This calculation leads to their zero income.

It can be said that these people do not have much money in the bank. Even if they do, only a small number of people have some cash.

There are also some people whose income is very low, with a monthly salary of less than 1,000 yuan, and it is also very unstable.

In this case, before this, they can only live in cage houses.

Of course, this kind of cage house is not necessarily the iron cage-like cage house where Lai Guowen and others live. It may be a very narrow house with an area of ​​less than 10 square meters for a family of several people.

Living in such a house is not only depressing, but also worse than death.

"Let the cabinet and the secretariat take charge. However, it must be open, fair and just."

Originally, Yang Ming was doing a good deed, and he didn't want to cause other troubles.

"Boss, there is also the Tsing Ma Bridge, which has been completed and is about to hold an opening ceremony. Will you attend in person or send someone else to attend?"

The Tsing Ma Bridge is not simple.

The Tsing Ma Bridge starts from Tsing Yi Island in the east, crosses the Ma Wan Channel, and ends at Ma Wan Island in the west; the total length of the line is 2,160 meters, and the main bridge is 1,377 meters long.

The main passage connecting Tsing Yi Island in Kwai Tsing District and Ma Wan Island in Tsuen Wan District is one of the components of the Lantau Link Road in Hong Kong, and is the world's longest dual-use suspension bridge for driving and railway.

Historically, the Governor's Office first proposed it in 1978, and it was designed in 1982, but it was delayed due to other problems.

It was not until 1992 that construction began, and it was not completed and opened to traffic until 1997.

Today, it has been completed and the opening ceremony is to be held, which is a full ten years earlier than in history.

In addition, in addition to the Tsing Ma Bridge, there is also the Lantau Link, including highways, subways, etc., all of which were built by companies under the Empire Group.

Among them, the participating companies include the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Company and other engineering companies.

Moreover, this highway, subway, bridge, in addition to the most important one, together with the new international airport in Hong Kong, the most important thing is to plan for the current Lantau Island and the reclamation area near Lantau Island.

Therefore, the opening of this trunk line still has a great impact on Lantau Island and the reclamation area near it.

Nowadays, the Tsing Ma Bridge was opened first, and then the highway, the subway company, and the new international airport in Hong Kong were opened.

All of these are invested by the Empire Group.

In addition, these are ten years earlier than in history.

"I'll go to participate."

Although Yang Ming can send Mai Lisi or cabinet members to participate.

However, Yang Ming has not shown his face for some time, so it's a good time to show his face.

Moreover, although these are invested by the Empire Group, the main personnel of the Governor's Office will also participate.

Hearing that the chairman will participate, Lin Xiuzhi also responded to these and handed them over to the cabinet.

That afternoon.

Yang Ming took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.

Go to have dinner with Yang Jirong and his wife first.

After dinner.

Yang Ming went to Deng Liyun again.

Now Nakamori Akasai has arrived.

Originally, Yang Ming wanted to provide Nakamori Akasai with a villa in the middle of the mountain, but Nakamori Akasai wanted to live with her teacher Deng Liyun, so she lived there directly.

Deng Liyun and Nakamori Akasai had already greeted Yang Ming's arrival.

Now Nakamori Akasai gradually left the entertainment circle in Japan and pushed her sister out. When her sister Nakamori Akaho began to attract the attention of Japanese fans, Nakamori Akasai quietly left Japan and came to Hong Kong.

Of course, she may have to go back to Japan occasionally.

However, from now on, she will stay in Hong Kong most of the time.

"Sir, are you busy recently?" Deng Liyun asked.

"Not very busy, most of the affairs are handled by the cabinet and the secretariat."

Yang Ming only needs to deal with the most core matters, and the rest are handled by the cabinet and the secretariat, which is indeed much easier. However, to outsiders, Yang Ming is still very busy.

Basically, he went to and from get off work at the Empire State Building as usual.

"Sir, I haven't released a new album for a long time." Deng Liyun said.

Yang Ming hasn't written a new song for her for a long time, so Deng Liyun really doesn't have a new album. Although Deng Liyun has been studying music for these years, she can also write new songs by herself, but she is not satisfied with what she writes, so she has not released it.

Of course, Deng Liyun gave the outside world the impression that she had retired a long time ago. Although there are still many people who like to listen to her previous songs, because she hasn't released a new album for a long time, many people know that she has retired.

"Do you want to release a new song?"

Deng Liyun wanted to release a new song, but Yang Ming couldn't think of any good songs for a while.

The main reason was that Yang Ming felt that Deng Liyun's current status did not need to do those things.

Deng Liyun really wanted to release a new song.

Of course, if Yang Ming was still too busy, she would not dare to bother Yang Ming.

"Then I will write a song for you when I have inspiration."

In addition to this matter.

Deng Liyun found a suitable candidate in Taiwan to be her student.

However, Yang Ming was no longer interested in these things.

His main concern was Deng Liyun's health. It seemed that Deng Liyun was in good health because she didn't have to travel around to give concerts like in her previous life, and she didn't have to work so hard. She was 35 years old now, but she still looked like she was in her twenties.

In other words, it was very important for a person to rest and recuperate.

That night, Yang Ming didn't go back until late at night.

Three days later.

August 2, 1988.

Tuesday.

Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoxun, Yingla, Alina and others from the Empire Group, as well as several cabinet members such as Maris.

And the Governor of the Governor's Office, Zhong Yijie, the Chief Secretary, Wei Yixin, and the heads of the Hong Kong Transport Department.

In addition, Hong Kong TVB, Hong Kong Asia Television, Hong Kong Radio, and many Hong Kong media and newspapers attended the opening ceremony of the Tsing Ma Bridge today.

Yang Ming did not speak at the opening ceremony of the Tsing Ma Bridge.

However, his appearance represented the importance that the Empire Group attached to the development of Lantau Island.

In other words, from now on, Lantau Island will enter an era of large-scale development and will be the most important part of development for Hong Kong and even the Empire Group.
