Chapter 906: Breaking the Mountains and Splitting the Earth! Lantau Island's First Shot Shocked Hong Kong
Chapter 906: Breaking the Mountain and Splitting the Earth! The first shot of Lantau Island shocked all walks of life in Hong Kong!!
At the end of June 1984.
The Governor's Office formally proposed that Hong Kong residents should have their own houses, which means that citizens living in Hong Kong have the right to live in houses.
There is no doubt that this is indeed a great thing for Hong Kong citizens, especially the lower-class citizens.
This plan for Hong Kong residents to have their own houses is very different from the plan for residents to have their own houses proposed by Governor MacLehose in the 1970s.
This plan for residents to have their own houses really involves every citizen.
This plan has just been proposed not long ago.
At the beginning of July 1984.
The Governor's Office once again proposed a plan to focus on the development of Lantau Island and to reclaim land on Lantau Island.
The plan to blow up Lantau Island and reclaim land near Lantau Island had actually spread throughout Hong Kong in June.
At that time, some people opposed, some supported, and some remained silent.
Many people know that the real proposer of this big plan was Sir Young, the chairman of the Empire Group, not the Governor's Office MacLehose.
Now, it is officially announced in the name of the Governor's Office, which means that this matter has legal effect and is 100% implemented.
The development plan for Lantau Island is carried out in stages.
Among them, the first phase is to start the development of Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in Lantau Island.
Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in Xiangjiang is located in the southeast of Lantau Island, with a maximum height of 303 meters. In other words, although it belongs to Lantau Island, the overall maximum height is just this.
The Governor's Office and the Empire Group also plan to start from here to split the mountain and start blasting the mountain.
To blow the whole place flat, all the excess soil will be transported to the nearby sea area for land reclamation.
July 20, 1984.
Friday.
Morning.
Some time ago, the natives and fishermen of Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in Lantau Island had all moved away.
In addition.
The area here has been surrounded by EG Security Company and the sir sent by the Governor's Office, and the fishing boats outside cannot come here.
Today.
In addition to Governor MacLehose, Chief Secretary Youde and others from the Governor's Office, there were also representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
The Empire Group was attended by General Manager Mark Miller and others.
Yang Ming did not come here, he stayed in the Empire Group Building.
"Boss, the mountain is about to be blown up on Lantau Island."
Lin Xiuzhi looked at the time and came over to say.
This should be a very important matter for the Empire Group and Hong Kong.
Yang Ming did not appear there, mainly because he did not want to be too high-profile.
From beginning to end, Yang Ming carried out this matter in the name of the Governor's Office.
In fact, the Empire Group was behind the scenes.
At this time, Mark Miller and others appeared there.
"Lin Xiuzhi, this is a very important moment in Hong Kong history. I hope no one will scold me in the future."
Yang Ming's eyes were still looking out the window.
You can see far from the Empire Group Building, but how can he see the Chima Bay Peninsula on Lantau Island?
Now, Governor MacLehose, Chief Secretary Youde, General Manager Mark Miller and others of the Empire Group were whispering there.
In addition, there were reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, two major TV stations in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Radio, and Hong Kong Commercial Radio. They were all witnessing the historic moment.
When the moment of blasting the mountain was ready.
At this time, many detonators had been installed on Lao Ren Shan on the Chima Bay Peninsula.
These detonators and explosives are the most advanced explosives for blasting mountains in the world, and the harm they produce is not that great.
Mai Lihao, Youde, Mai Lisi and others watched from a distance on Lao Ren Shan.
When the auspicious time comes, the Taoist priests now hold a mountain blasting ceremony.
Including using whole pigs, cattle and sheep for worship.
Then there are firecrackers.
After these mountain blasting ceremonies are over.
When the engineer in charge of the mountain blasting began to wave the flag.
The chief engineer of Lantau Island Development began to announce the countdown.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"Explode!"
. . .
This world's most advanced detonator entered the mountain in advance and exploded by artificial remote control.
That was at that moment.
Many people nearby felt as if the earth was collapsing and the whole person was about to be shaken to the ground.
They did not hear a loud explosion, but a large part of the Old Man Mountain on the Chima Bay Peninsula of Lantau Island was indeed blown away, and the rocks and soil on the mountain kept falling down, and smoke and dust were rolling.
However, Old Man Mountain is still there, and it has to continue to be blown up.
As long as Old Man Mountain is blown to a minimum of more than ten meters, it will be possible to stop.
The development of Lantau Island officially begins from now on.
Mai Lihao, Youde, Mai Lisi and others did not stay any longer.
They got on the boat and left here by boat from the temporary pier.
I believe that within a few years, there will definitely be very big changes here.
Along the way.
Mai Lihao was very excited, and so was Mai Lisi. I don’t know if it was fear or something else. His white face always looked different from others.
Even though he still opposed the Empire Group’s development of Lantau Island and land reclamation, now he was the only one in the Governor’s Office who opposed it, and no one else opposed it.
Youde was really scared.
. . .
Myers took the boat back to Queen's Wharf.
Then took the car back to the Empire State Building.
"Boss, Lantau Island has just fired its first shot. The highest peak of Chima Bay Peninsula, Old Man Mountain, has started to explode. The scene is very shocking."
After returning, Mai Lisi immediately reported to his boss Sir Yang in the chairman's office.
"I really want to go and see."
However, Mai Lisi also felt that it was not suitable for him to go as a boss. He could just go on behalf of the Empire Group.
Since Yang Ming had already made this step, it was naturally impossible for him to retreat.
If he did not advance, he would retreat.
He could only move forward and could not retreat.
After Mai Lisi reported, he returned to the general manager's office.
Yang Ming was still sitting there.
The map of Hong Kong hanging in the study of his chairman's office is actually a future design.
From the design, almost all of the area near Lantau Island has been filled up. Except for the shipping channel, the original large sea area will disappear.
That night.
Yang Ming took a car back to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa.
As soon as he got off the car, Yang Jirong asked, "Peter, did the mountain on Lantau Island really get blown up?"
"Daddy, Mommy, it was indeed blown up. Didn't the evening paper report it?"
Yang Ming looked normal, but Yang Jirong and his wife were still shocked.
At this time, the whole of Hong Kong was shocked.
In particular, in history, the first person to propose large-scale land reclamation was not anyone else, but Hu Yingxiang, chairman of Hopewell Properties.
However, Hu Yingxiang did not expect that Sir Yang would be the first to propose it and has already started to implement it.
He thought Sir Yang was really amazing!
Yang Ming and Yang Jirong and his wife were sitting in the restaurant. Ah Zhu brought the newspapers over. Now the evening paper was all about the news that the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula on Lantau Island was bombed.
In addition, there were discussions and debates on Feng Shui from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
Now Uncle Chen, Song Shaoguang and others have said a lot in advance in their column programs on Asia Television, as well as many media and newspapers in Hong Kong.
There is no doubt that this will play a good role in the Empire Group's promotion of the development of Lantau Island.
