Chapter 1376 Reminder!
Governor of Haojiang, Luo Che, knew very well that as long as Sir Yang proposed it, the four major families of Haojiang would definitely support it.
And this Lingdingyang Bridge across the river would also be of great benefit to the tourism industry of Haojiang after its construction, and it was impossible for Haojiang not to support it.
Luo Che and Zhong Yijie talked for more than an hour and determined the preliminary concept of the Lingdingyang Bridge, that is, Haojiang supported the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Zhong Yijie and others left Haojiang, passed the customs, and went to Zhucheng on the opposite side.
Zhucheng had already learned in advance about the arrival of the Hong Kong Governor Zhong Yijie and his party. Because it involved investment and inspection, Zhucheng also attached great importance to it.
That night, Zhucheng held a grand dinner to entertain the arrival of Zhong Yijie and others. Afterwards, the two sides talked about the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge. Zhucheng also agreed with the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge, but Zhucheng needed the support of the country and Guangdong Province.
That night.
Zhong Yijie and his party rested for one night in the beautiful coastal town of Zhucheng.
Early the next morning.
Zhong Yijie and others left Zhucheng by car and arrived at Yangcheng, the capital of Guangdong Province, along the highway.
Both Guangdong Province and Yangcheng attach great importance to it.
This time, Zhong Yijie and others came to inspect on behalf of the Governor's Office of Xiangjiang and the Xiangjiang consortium, which also represents Hong Kong capital, but this time Zhong Yijie's focus is on the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge.
Guangdong Province was not only surprised but also shocked by Xiangjiang's proposal to build the Lingdingyang.
After all, the construction of this bridge actually has great benefits for both the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary, but now it is Xiangjiang that first proposed it.
Nowadays, although the Humen Bridge has been built, according to the current development, the traffic volume of the Humen Bridge will become larger and larger, and Xiangjiang, Pengcheng and other places will have to go around before they can reach Zhucheng and other places on the opposite side.
However, if this bridge is completed, it can save a lot of time.
Guangdong Province has no problem and supports it.
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Yijie and others left Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and took the highway from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, and came to Pengcheng, and talked with the relevant person in charge of Pengcheng.
Pengcheng was also very supportive.
In particular, the proposed double 'Y' bridge model will further deepen the connection between Pengcheng and the cities on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary.
. . .
That night.
Zhong Yijie and his wife and others left Pengcheng.
Early the next morning, Zhong Yijie and others flew from Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport to Yanjing.
It can be said that Zhong Yijie's schedule was very tight.
When Zhong Yijie arrived in Yanjing, he also met a lot of people.
Zhong Yijie didn't expect that many things would be easier than he imagined.
In other words, although the construction of this Lingdingyang Bridge was proposed by Yang Ming, it will be announced in an official way.
Now that all parties have reached a preliminary agreement,
Then Yanjing, Guangdong Province, Zhucheng, Pengcheng, Haojiang, Xiangjiang and even the Empire Group will send people to talk. This negotiation may take time, but as long as everyone is okay, then planning and construction can be done at that time.
According to the current efficiency, it is naturally impossible to delay it for more than ten years as in history.
At this time, the official document has not been released.
However, many people in Xiangjiang have heard about it.
Especially some families in Xiangjiang, they are very surprised.
Some time ago.
Huifeng Bank announced that Kayla will serve as the general manager of the Xiangjiang MPF Investment Fund and be fully responsible for the investment of the Xiangjiang MPF. At that time, it also attracted a lot of attention in Xiangjiang.
And this time, although there is no official plan announced, many people have heard that the three places will jointly build the Lingdingyang Bridge.
In other words, in the future, when going to the opposite Haojiang, Zhucheng does not need to take a car or a ferry, but directly pass through the bridge.
When this news came out, Li Jiacheng and his son were also the most surprised.
They couldn't understand why the three places jointly built this bridge. The biggest impact should be the Empire Group and its subsidiaries, such as Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Wheelock, etc., because it involves many ports and terminals. If the Lingdingyang Bridge is opened, it will seriously affect the income of these ports and terminals of the Empire Group.
Li Jiacheng didn't understand, and Li Zeju didn't understand even more.
However, now that the news has been spread, what Li Jiacheng didn't expect is that the Empire Group not only did not oppose it, but also participated in it and became one of the shareholders of this bridge.
What exactly does this Sir Yang want to do?
This is not the first time Li Jiacheng has thought so.
He has been thinking so for many years. He really doesn't know what Sir Yang wants to do with Hong Kong?
"Dad, you said Sir Yang is the one who proposed this bridge?"
"Maybe, but he didn't show up."
"Then how did he do something that harmed his own interests?"
"You don't understand, and I don't understand."
Li Jiacheng certainly didn't understand.
Including many people in Hong Kong.
However, at this time, Wu Guangzhen had already gone to see Yang Ming.
In fact, the Bao family still has quite a few ports and terminals in Hong Kong, although they have not acquired Wharf Holdings and Wheelock as they did in history.
Of course, the Bao family's Global Shipping and Asia Shipping Group are now in the hands of Su Xiwen.
Su Xiwen entrusted Wu Guangzhen to ask Sir Yang.
"Mr. Yang, Xiwen can't figure it out, let me ask you."
"Are you talking about the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge?"
"Yes, he thinks that building this bridge will affect Hong Kong's shipping industry, and even the docks and ports."
"I'm afraid it's not just him who thinks so, many people in Hong Kong think so. However, this is the general trend, and no one can stop it."
Historically, Li Jiacheng and others opposed it behind the scenes, but it was eventually built. On the contrary, because of the other party's opposition, it was affected for more than ten years, delayed too much time, and wasted more funds.
It's different now. As long as Yang Ming supports it, no one else can oppose it.
"Mr. Yang, I heard that this construction will affect Hong Kong's Feng Shui."
"Feng Shui?"
Does Yang Ming believe in Feng Shui?
He does, but not completely.
"Do you think the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge will affect San Francisco? Does the construction of the Tokyo Bay Bridge affect Tokyo? Do you think the construction of bridges around the world will affect the local Feng Shui? No, on the contrary, it will further promote local exchanges and development."
"This is a golden channel. At the beginning, the flow of people and vehicles may not be large, but it will gradually increase, accelerating the development of the three places. If Xiangjiang wants to continue to maintain its current development advantages, it must integrate into it as much as possible. You have also noticed that the speed of development in Pengcheng is very fast now, changing with each passing day. If Xiangjiang still has the same mentality as before, it may be left behind by Pengcheng."
Pengcheng surpasses Xiangjiang?
I am afraid that no one in Xiangjiang believes it now.
However, Yang Ming is very clear that one day in the future, if the current Xiangjiang does not continue to maintain its advantage, it will really be like that.
"Mr. Yang, I understand." Wu Guangzhen said.
Wu Guangzhen knew that Sir Yang was considering the future, not just the current interests.
However, Wu Xiwen was considering the present, so he didn't understand.
Yang Ming looked at Wu Guangzhen and said, "You understand, but your brother-in-law doesn't. Besides, he is not from Hong Kong, so he won't stand here and consider it."
"Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"
"If one day, your brother-in-law even sells the Global Shipping Group, do you believe it?"
"Ah! How is this possible?" Wu Guangzhen asked in disbelief.
The Global Shipping Group and Asian Shipping have always been the core industries of the Bao family, and Su Xiwen was lucky to inherit the core industry of the Bao family.
If he really sells it, wouldn't it mean that his father-in-law's property is sold?
"If he really sells it and transfers the property back to his hometown, what do you plan to do?"
Historically, the Su Xiwen family acquired and privatized the largest shipping company and the largest natural gas operator in Norway. In 2004, the original Global Shipping business was integrated to form a holding company.
However, the name of the Global Shipping Group was not kept, and a new company name was changed.
It can basically be said that the assets in Hong Kong were transferred to Europe.
Now Yang Ming said that, also to remind Wu Guangzhen.
In fact, Yang Ming did not want the other party to transfer Hong Kong's assets to Europe.
"This, this, since his father-in-law gave it to him, he can manage it as he wants!" Wu Guangzhen thought this was very likely.
"Then he even changed the name of your father-in-law's company?"
Changed the company name?
In fact, this made Yang Ming feel very funny.
That is, in history, Bao Yugang acquired Wheelock and Company. Unexpectedly, after Wheelock was divided to Wu Guangzhen, Wu Guangzhen also changed the name of Wheelock.
However, Wheelock has a great influence in Southeast Asia and even in the world. After changing the new name, other people did not recognize it at all, which led to a great impact on the business. Later, the name of Wheelock had to be changed back.
And Su Yuwen completely changed the names of Global Shipping and Asia Shipping after acquiring the Norwegian company, so that many people wondered if Global Shipping had gone bankrupt?
"Go back and tell Su Xiwen that if he doesn't want the name of Global Shipping or Asia Shipping, I'll buy it."
In fact, Yang Ming still hopes to keep the company that Mr. Bao founded with his life's hard work.
"Yes, Mr. Yang."
This time, Wu Guangzhen was really surprised.
He always felt that what Sir Yang did was completely beyond the imagination of many years, even more than ten years.
Just like what his eldest brother-in-law Su Xiwen is going to do now, why did Sir Yang know in advance?
This is also a very scary thing.
Wu Guangzhen is a little worried.
He also knows that his father-in-law Bao Yugang spent his whole life to establish Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping Group, and also used these two shipping groups to establish his position as the world's world shipping king.
Although the First Shipping Group under the Empire Group has become the world's largest shipping group, Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping are still ranked second in the world, and their influence is still very huge.
If it is really as Sir Yang said, Su Xiwen wants to sell it and return to his hometown, then Wu Guangzhen is unwilling.
However, his father-in-law had handed over Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping to Su Xiwen, and now they are also the property of Su Xiwen and his wife. In fact, he didn't want to interfere.
Wu Guangzhen was a little embarrassed.
If he had known about this kind of thing earlier, he would not have participated in it. Now that Sir Yang said that to him, he had to take it back.
Wu Guangzhen and his wife, children, and Mrs. Bao lived in Deep Water Bay, but it was usually quiet.
Now that Wu Guangzhen was back, his wife knew that her husband had just gone to see Sir Yang.
"Sir, you went to visit Sir Yang?"
"Yes, but there is some trouble."
"What trouble?"
"Come to your room and I'll tell you."
The second lady of the Bao family entered the room. Wu Guangzhen closed the door and said, "Originally, my elder brother-in-law asked me to ask Sir Yang about the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge. Where did I think of it? Sir Yang said that the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge is the inevitable trend. , no individual or force can stop it. Of course, Sir Yang is also very supportive of the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge. He said that the problem will depend on what happens in a few years, or even more than ten years. Now the eldest brother-in-law does not understand at all, and thinks it has harmed him. However, Sir Yang told me that if Mr. Bao were still here, not only would he not object, but he would be the first to support it. Sir Yang said that this is Mr. Bao’s interests. "
"Sir, doesn't that mean that the eldest brother-in-law is not as good as my father?"
"It's inevitable."
"In addition to this, Sir Yang also told me one thing. I don't know how to say it."
"you say."
"He said that the eldest brother-in-law might sell Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping and then transfer the assets back to his hometown."
Sell Global Shipping and Asia Shipping?
How can this be?
The second lady of the Bao family said in disbelief.
The shipping industry is the core industry of the Bao family. The second lady of the Bao family knows very well that when her father handed over the Global Shipping Group to his eldest brother-in-law, he recognized his ability and hoped that he would continue to develop the shipping industry.
Who would have thought that it would be sold now?
"Not only that, after the two major shipping groups are sold, the names of Global Shipping and Asia Shipping will not be preserved. Outsiders will think that our Baojia Shipping has gone bankrupt."
When the second young lady of the Bao family heard this, she immediately became anxious.
"I'm going to find my eldest brother-in-law and eldest sister. No matter what, how can this Global Shipping Group be sold?"
The second young lady of the Bao family was about to go out to find those two people.
Wu Guangzhen hurriedly grabbed the other party.
"You are stupid. Sir Yang only said that in the future, not now, there are also Global Shipping Group and Asia Shipping. My father-in-law had already allocated it to them at that time. We have no reason to interfere with them."
"Then what should we do? Do we have to watch them sell daddy's life's hard work?"
From the perspective of the second lady of the Bao family, the third sister and the third brother-in-law failed to invest in Dongyang and have lost most of their assets. Now she really does not want the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law to sell the core property of the Bao family, even though they have already been allocated to them. On hand.
"You can't go, but you can tell your mother-in-law to talk to those two people. No matter what, it is the core industry of the Bao family. A hundred or even hundreds of years later, I hope that global shipping will still exist. "
When the second lady of the Bao family heard this, she realized that it was really like that. Her mother was the elder of those two people, so it would be best for her to talk to those two people.
However, Wu Guangzhen added: "Sir Yang also said that if the eldest sister and brother-in-law really want to sell it, it is better to sell it to Sir Yang!"
Sell to Sir Yang?
How is this possible?
In fact, Yang Ming said that he was just buying the names of Global Shipping and Asia Shipping.
In Yang Ming's view, the most valuable thing is the names of these two companies. The 10,000-ton ships marked with 'W' have great influence in ports and terminals around the world.
And this is the most valuable thing.
After all, large ships can be ordered or purchased at any time.
However, the intangible value of a company takes decades to cultivate.
In Yang Ming's view, when Su Yiwen gave up company names such as Global Shipping Group in history, he also invisibly gave up these values.
The second lady of the Bao family became more and more surprised as she listened.
He still thought Sir Yang wanted to swallow up the core industry of the Bao family?
"Sir, you said Sir Yang wants to swallow up the Global Shipping Group?"
"not at all."
"Then why did he say that?"
"My guess is that I don't want my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law to transfer their assets to Europe." (End of Chapter)
