Chapter 902 The Right Time, Right Place, and Right People!
Merlis is a white man, he doesn't quite understand the Feng Shui that Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang talked about.
Even if the Feng Shui terms that Chen Bo and Song Shaoguang just said were translated into English, he couldn't understand them.
However, Merlis also heard that in Hong Kong, both white people and Chinese believe in Feng Shui.
Like the Governor's Mansion in Hong Kong, the Huifeng Bank Building, and many high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, the construction is almost all related to Feng Shui.
If Merlis knew that the governor in history, Youde, died in office, and it was said that he was killed by the Bank of China Building, Merlis might be very clear about the power and importance of Feng Shui.
These are nothing to Yang Ming.
For example, Pengcheng across the Hong Kong River is now developing rapidly. At the beginning, Hong Kong was dominated by mountains, and many low mountains and highlands were all flattened.
Doesn't that affect the Feng Shui and development of Pengcheng?
So, Feng Shui is not an excuse for development.
However, Yang Ming can use Feng Shui to develop.
In the final analysis, it's the human heart.
At this time, Yang Ming's advantage is very obvious.
He is the largest landlord. In addition to the three major foreign companies in Hong Kong, he also owns a lot of land under the Hong Kong Electric Light Company, Qingzhou Yingmud, Hong Kong Water Company, Hong Kong Bus Group, etc.
In the past two years, during the Hong Kong real estate crisis, Yang Ming acquired a large amount of land and a large amount of properties.
If he really doesn't want to do those things, he doesn't have to do anything. As long as he develops a certain amount of land every year, the wealth of him and the Empire Group will continue to rise.
However, this is not what Yang Ming pursues.
In addition, there is the support of China, London, and even the Governor's Office.
In China, Yang Ming talked to the old man on National Day last year, and the old man was very supportive.
In London, this trip to London is to obtain support from London. After getting the support of Mrs. Satchel and the cabinet, there is no problem with London.
There is no problem with London, and Governor MacLehose has long had no problem with the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
In addition.
This large-scale land reclamation not only does not require the use of the finances of the Governor's Office and taxpayers, but also the Governor's Office will have a certain amount of financial income when the land is sold to the Empire Group.
In addition, Yang Ming is really considering the lower-class people in Hong Kong who do not have houses this time. Those hundreds of thousands of people may be the most supportive.
Millions of citizens are between the lower and middle classes. These people originally had no hope of buying a house. Now Yang Ming's land reclamation has actually eased the housing prices in Hong Kong, and they have hope of buying a house.
There is no doubt that these people also support it.
The most opposed may be those who already own houses, some companies related to the Hong Kong real estate industry, and even those who speculate in real estate.
Yang Ming believes that at that time, not to mention Li Jiacheng, other real estate companies may be greatly affected.
In other words.
The right time, right place, and right people.
All are on Yang Ming's side.
Even if someone really opposes, Yang Ming is not afraid.
He is reclaiming land in the name of the Governor's Office, and even blasting Lantau Island for development.
Over the past two years, his EG Security Company has more and more formal employees, and is gradually developing into the world's largest security company.
Yang Ming and Mai Lisi finished discussing there.
"Mailisi, at 16:00 in the afternoon, we will go to the Governor's Mansion to talk with Mr. Mai Lihao again."
"Yes, boss."
It was 14:25 in the afternoon, and it was still early, so Mai Lisi went to the guest room to rest first.
. . .
16:00 in the afternoon.
Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, and Lin Dezhong left the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa by car and headed for the Governor's Mansion.
More than an hour.
At the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Governor Mai Lihao and his wife had come out to greet them.
Yang Ming's bulletproof glass Rolls-Royce stopped, and Yang Ming, Mai Lisi, Lin Xiuzhi, and Lin Dezhong got out of the car. Mai Lisi and his wife greeted Yang Ming first.
They knew that Yang Ming had gone to London some time ago and was awarded the title of knight again by the royal family.
This is enough to show Sir Yang's influence in London and even in the royal family.
"Sir Yang, Mr. MacLeod, Secretary Lin, Butler Lin, please come in."
Governor MacLeod, Yang Ming, MacLeod, and Lin Xiuzhi came to his study.
In the study.
Yang Ming said: "McLeod, first of all, I went to Lantau Island yesterday, and even spent a night in Tai O Village on Lantau Island last night. I returned to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa this morning."
Yang Ming talked about the situation on Lantau Island.
For Lantau Island.
MacLeod really didn't know, he hadn't been there, but he heard that it was really remote, except for mountains.
Now it seems that there are indeed sparsely populated there.
"Mr. MacLeod, this time we are preparing for the construction of a new international airport in Hong Kong, the development of Lantau Island, and the reclamation of land near Lantau Island."
For these three major plans.
MacLeod already knew.
He supported Sir Yang from the beginning, but there were objections from the Chief Secretary, Edward.
What Youde opposed was the issue of land reclamation. He was not against land reclamation, but against large-scale land reclamation.
Yang Ming had long disliked this white-faced Youde, but he had always occupied the position of Chief Secretary.
If the other party is still a short-lived person like in history, Yang Ming will naturally not touch him. If he still opposes what Yang Ming does as he does now, then he will have to use other means.
"Mr. Mai Lihao, I hope that every citizen of Hong Kong can truly have his own house."
Mai Lihao was the first to propose that everyone has their own house. Historically, at that time, public housing was built on a large scale. However, not everyone can afford public housing, and not everyone can apply for public housing.
In other words, this public housing still has restrictions.
Today, Yang Ming proposed that the Yang family has their own house.
First of all, the real Hong Kong tycoons like Yang Ming, including Mai Lisi, Li Jiacheng and others, must live in such a luxury villa in the Mid-Levels.
Secondly, it is the middle class of Hong Kong.
Yang Ming believes that this type of people have the money to buy a house, that is, these people can afford to buy their own house at any time.
Finally, it is the cage house residents who mainly live in Kowloon Walled City.
These are the residents with the lowest income. In addition, there are some who cannot even afford cage houses and can only live under bridges or in toilets in parks.
Yang Ming knows that these people could not live in public housing in his previous life. In other words, many people lived in cage houses until they died, but later the number of people living in cage houses decreased to more than 100,000.
These are what they really need the most.
This is also the problem that Yang Ming raised when he inspected the residents in Kowloon Walled City, and it is also the problem that he wants to solve for them.
Yang Ming decided to build high-rise buildings on reclaimed land in Lantau Island and even near Lantau Island so that these people can afford to live in houses.
