Chapter 906: Breaking mountains and splitting ground! The first shot on Lantau Island shocked Xiangj
The end of June 1984.
The Governor's Office has officially proposed home ownership in Hong Kong, which means that all citizens living in Hong Kong have the right to live in housing.
There is no doubt that this is a great thing for the citizens of Xiangjiang, especially the lower class citizens.
This Hong Kong Home Ownership Scheme is very different from the Home Ownership Scheme proposed by Governor Mellieh in the 1970s.
This home ownership is truly relevant to every citizen.
This plan was proposed not long ago.
Early July 1984.
The Government House once again proposed plans to focus on the development of Lantau Island and the reclamation of 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 were opposed, some were supportive, and some were silent.
Many people know that the real proposer of this big plan is Sir Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group, not the Governor-General MacLehose.
Now that it is officially announced as the Governor's Palace, it means that this matter has legal effect and is 100% implemented.
The development plan for Lantau Island is carried out in phases.
Among them, the first phase is being developed on Chi Ma Wan Peninsula on Lantau Island.
Xiangjiang Chi Chi Wan Peninsula is located in the southeast of Lantau Island, with a maximum height of 303 meters. In other words, although it belongs to Lantau Island, it is the highest overall.
The Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Group also planned to start cutting up the mountain from here and start bombing the mountain.
The entire place must be blown up, and all excess soil must be transported to the nearby sea area for reclamation.
1984 7 Month 20 Day.
Friday.
morning.
Some time ago, all the indigenous people and fishermen of Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in Lantau Island have moved away.
Besides.
The area here has been surrounded by the EG security company and the sir sent by the Governor's Palace, and fishing boats from outside cannot come here.
Nowadays.
In addition to Governor Mailiho of the Government House, Chief Secretary Youde and others, there are also representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
The general manager of the Imperial Group, Mai Lisi, and others attended.
Yang Ming did not come here, he stayed in the Empire State Building.
"Boss, bombing is about to begin on Lantau Island."
Lin Xiuzhi looked at the time, came over and said.
This should be the Imperial Group and a very important thing in Xiangjiang.
Yang Ming didn't appear there, mainly because he didn't want to be too high-profile.
From beginning to end, Yang Ming carried out this matter in the name of the Governor's Palace.
In fact, all the leadership behind it is the Imperial Group.
At this time, Meris and others appeared there.
"Lin Xiuzhi, this is a very important moment in the history of Hong Kong. I hope no one will scold me in the future."
Yang Ming was still looking out the window.
He could see far away from the Empire State Building, but how could he see it over the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula on Lantau Island?
Today, Governor Mailihao, Chief Secretary Jude, Empire Group General Manager Merrith and others are whispering there.
In addition, there are reporters from major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong, reporters from the two major TV stations in Hong Kong, Xiangjiang Radio, and Xiangjiang Commercial Radio, all of whom are witnessing this historic moment.
When the moment to explode the mountain is ready.
At this time, many detonators had been installed at Laorou Mountain on the Zhimawan Peninsula.
These detonators are the most advanced mountain-exploding explosives in the world, and they are not that harmful.
Mailihao, Jude, Mailis and others watched from afar in the distance of Old Man Mountain.
Today's Taoist priests hold mountain-exploding ceremonies when auspicious times arrive.
Including using whole big pigs, cattle and sheep to worship.
Then there are the burning firecrackers.
After these mountain bombing rituals are over.
When the engineer responsible for the mountain bombing started waving the flag.
The chief engineer of Lantau Island Development began to announce the countdown.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
"fry!"
. . .
This world's most advanced detonator enters the mountain in advance and explodes through manual remote control.
It was at that moment.
Many people nearby felt as if the earth was about to collapse and they were about to be knocked to the ground.
They did not hear a loud explosion, but a large part of Lao Lao Shan on Chi Ma Wan Peninsula in Lantau Island was indeed blown apart. The rocks and soil on the mountain kept falling down, and the smoke and dust billowed.
However, Old Man Mountain is still there and will continue to be bombed.
Only by blowing up Old Man Mountain to a minimum of ten meters can it stop.
The development of this Lantau Island officially begins from now on.
Mailihao, Jude, Mailis and others did not stay any longer.
They got on the boat and left by boat from the temporary dock.
I believe that within a few years, great changes will definitely take place here.
along the way.
Mailihao was very excited, and so was Maris. Jude didn't know whether it was fear or something else. His white face always looked different from the others.
Even though he still opposes the Imperial Group's development of Lantau Island and land reclamation, now he is the only one who opposes it in the Governor's Mansion, and no one else opposes it.
Jude was indeed frightened.
. . .
Merith took the boat back to Queen's Pier.
Then take the bus back to the Empire State Building.
"Boss, the first cannon has just been fired on Lantau Island. Lao Lao Shan, the highest peak on the Chi Chi Wan Peninsula, began to explode. The scene was very shocking."
After Meris came back, he immediately reported to his boss Sir Yang in the chairman's office.
"I really want to see it."
However, Mai Lisi also felt that as a boss, it was really not suitable for him to go. It would be fine for him to go on behalf of the Imperial Group.
After Yang Ming had already taken this step, it was naturally impossible to retreat.
If you don't advance, you will retreat.
He could only continue to move forward and could not go back any further.
After the report, Meris returned to the general manager's office.
Yang Ming was still sitting there.
The map of Hong Kong now hanging in the study room of his chairman's office is actually a design drawing of the future.
Judging from the design drawings, almost everything near Lantau Island has been filled in. Except for leaving shipping channels, the original large sea area will disappear.
That night.
Yang Ming took the car back to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay.
As soon as he got off the car, Yang Jirong asked: "Peter, is there really a bombing on Lantau Island?"
"Daddy, Mommy, it really exploded. Didn't the evening paper report it?"
Yang Ming looked normal, but Yang Jirong and his wife were still shocked.
At this time, the entire Xiangjiang was very shocked.
Especially in history, the first person to propose large-scale land reclamation was none other than Hu Yingxiang, chairman of Hopewell Properties.
However, Hu Yingxiang did not expect that Sir Yang was the first to propose it and has already started to implement it.
He thinks Sir Yang is really awesome!
Yang Ming and Yang Jirong were sitting in the restaurant. Ah Zhu brought newspapers and magazines. Now the evening newspaper was all about the bombing of Chi Chi Wan Peninsula in Lantau Island.
In addition, there are discussions and debates about Feng Shui from all walks of life in Hong Kong.
Now Chen Bo, Song Shaoguang and others have already said a lot in advance in their columns on Asia Television, as well as in many media and newspapers in Hong Kong.
There is no doubt that this will play a good role in promoting the development of Lantau Island by the Imperial Group.
