"Mr. Su, I'm very sorry. Due to the special geographical location of Lamma Island, and as the third largest island in Hong Kong, the government has other uses for it, so it is impossible to rent it out." MacLehose shook his head and refused.

As Su Cheng expected, it was impossible for the Hong Kong Governor's Office to agree to rent out Lamma Island.

"Mr. Governor, Xiangjiang's tourism industry is becoming more and more developed now, so I am planning to make a big investment in tourism and vacation to build an iconic tourist resort that is famous all over the world. Since Lamma Island cannot do it, it seems that

We can only choose other places to invest." Su Cheng said regretfully.

"Mr. Su, what other candidate addresses do you have? If possible, on behalf of the Government House, I will try my best to meet your request." Mailihao replied.

"Mr. Governor, do you know if the land in Tseung Kwan O can be sold? I believe Mr. Governor also knows that I have a water park there. Since Lamma Island cannot be developed, can I build a water park on the basis of the Tseung Kwan O water park?

Expand and eventually build a world-class tourist resort?

By the way, our group has already planned this tourist resort. Our initial investment plan is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, integrating theme parks, luxury hotels, business exhibitions, high-end catering, entertainment and leisure, real estate projects, etc., so all

The required area is very huge.

It is definitely not possible in the city center. Only by investing in some undeveloped areas can we obtain such a large area for development. At that time, it can be regarded as a small contribution to the eastward expansion of the city center."

Su Cheng directly stated his goal.

Because the current sense of presence in Tseung Kwan O is simply too low. If it weren’t for the recent popularity of the Tseung Kwan O Water Park and the Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery, many old residents of Xiangjiang would never have set foot there in their lives.

As for the land in Tseung Kwan O, except for some villages, most of the land is owned by the government, so if you want to buy it, you can only go to the government.

"Tseung Kwan O?" MacLehose stood up and went to the wall behind, where a very huge map of Hong Kong hung.

"Do you want this land?" MacLehose pointed directly to the canyon area north of the mouth of Tseung Kwan O Bay, where the map showed only a few small villages scattered here and there.

"Yes, Mr. Governor, if I can buy this place, I will invest heavily here. In up to three years, an international tourist resort of preliminary scale will be formed here. In the future, I hope everyone will talk about what fun things there are in Xiangjiang."

When visiting a place, my tourist resort will be the first place they think of." Sioux City has great ambitions.

Just like when people talk about New York, they immediately think of the Statue of Liberty; when talking about California, they think of Disneyland there; when talking about Paris, they think of the Eiffel Tower; when talking about Beijing, they think of the Forbidden City, etc.

That’s the beauty of an iconic landmark.

"Mr. Su, I have to say that you have great ambitions. Although Tseung Kwan O is not far from the city center, it is separated from Kwun Tong by a small mountain range, so it is difficult for urban development to go there. Normally

Urban planning is relatively risky, but it is a good idea for a tourist resort.

Mr. Su, if you are willing to develop there, our government will definitely welcome it, and the land will be sold to you at a very favorable price. However, you must promise to invest here within a certain period of time after purchasing the land.

Otherwise, we have the right to take back the land." Mailihao said directly.

Today's Tseung Kwan O is nothing more than a wilderness for the Hong Kong government, with little use value. If anyone is willing to develop this place, they will naturally welcome it.

According to the development progress of Xiangjiang in the world before Sioux City crossed over, Tseung Kwan O did not begin to consider developing this area until 1980 and reclamated the Tseung Kwan O Bay. Then, it was not until 1982 that the development of Tseung Kwan O officially began.

Now, in August 1978, Kwun Tong is nothing more than an industrial area, let alone the more remote Tseung Kwan O.

Moreover, even if the government plans to develop this area, it still needs to attract investment, rather than the government itself building it.

Therefore, Sioux City volunteered to develop this area, and the government was naturally happy.

As for the rest, it is just to prevent Su Cheng from deliberately hoarding land.

"Okay, thank you very much to the Governor's Office and Mr. Governor. President Yang of the Su Group will discuss relevant matters with your government in detail. In addition, I have a small request, which I hope the Hong Kong Governor's Office can seriously consider!"

Su Cheng said seriously.

"Mr. Su, please speak." Mailihao was a little curious about what Su Cheng was asking for.

"I hope that the revised early system line of the MTR that is currently under construction can be extended eastward to Tseung Kwan O on the basis of Kwun Tong. I believe this request is not difficult for the government. The straight-line distance between Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O is only

It's three to four kilometers away. The opening of the subway there will also be conducive to my investment and development in Tseung Kwan O!" Su Cheng said directly.

"Mr. Su, you are making things difficult for me. The cost of building a subway is very high. Secondly, only places with concentrated populations will plan to build subway stations. As for Tseung Kwan O, the current population is not that big, and most of them are

They are ordinary villagers and fishermen, and they have no need to take the subway.

Currently, your Tseung Kwan O Water Park is the only one driving some traffic there, but as far as I know, the normal flow of people on weekdays is only two to three thousand people, and on weekends it can reach up to six, seven, or even seven or eight thousand, but these people are definitely

Most of them come by self-driving or taking buses. Even if the subway is opened, there won't be a lot of people!" Mailihao didn't expect Sioux City to make such a request.

"Mr. Governor, to be honest, the current restriction on the development of the Tseung Kwan O water park is the inconvenient transportation. If the subway is opened, I believe that it will not be a problem to increase the number of people there several times, and we will also negotiate with the government to purchase the land there.

After that, we will increase our investment, and naturally more people will go there.

As for the funding issue, I can invest the money from Kwun Tong to Tseung Kwan O. Don’t worry, Mr. Governor, I will never make it difficult for you, the Hong Kong Governor’s Government, on the funding issue!"

Su Cheng directly answered Mailihao's question.

Sioux City can still afford to invest in a subway line that only extends for three or four kilometers.

According to information obtained by Sioux City, the total government investment in building and revising the early system is HK$6 billion.

The 6 billion Hong Kong dollars were not spent in the end, and the reason why so much was needed was because the route was built in one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The construction encountered many difficulties, including the different geology of the ground and the high groundwater level.

, some road sections have also experienced subsidence, and even undersea tunnels across Victoria Harbor have to be built. These are the most expensive areas.

As for the road from Kwun Tong to Tseung Kwan O, the population is not large. You only need to pass through the mountains to reach Tseung Kwan O directly, and it will not cost you HK$100 million at most.

Is HK$100 million too much? For Sioux City, it is not much.

But in the sense of developing Tseung Kwan O, it is so worth it.
