We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Su Cheng wasn't surprised to hear what Cherie Chung said.

After all, Cherie Chung had said similar things to him before.

Moreover, the rent he provided her every month had given her a taste of success.

Investing in other businesses often carries significant risks, but the risk of investing in commercial properties is very small.

Su Cheng had also told Cherie Chung that property prices would inevitably experience a decline after a period, but they would rebound quickly after the decline.

After all, Hong Kong's ever-increasing population and continuously developing economy meant that Hong Kong's property prices could not remain low.

At least Su Cheng knew that before the 21st century, there was no need to fear Hong Kong's real estate, especially now, when it was still at a low price point. Entering the market at this time made it too easy to make a fortune.

As they chatted, the two left the ground floor of the Mong Kok International Building and began to stroll through the bustling streets of Mong Kok.

Compared to the high-end shopping malls in Central and Wan Chai, Cherie Chung still preferred to browse streets where she could buy good quality and inexpensive products at any time.

When they reached Cherie Chung's other shops, Cherie Chung would stop and point to the shops, saying to Su Cheng, "This shop was also bought by me!"

They also passed Cherie Chung's parents' shop from a distance, but neither of them went in to say hello.

Cherie Chung knew that Su Cheng and her own identities were both relatively special. Su Cheng was a well-known super-rich businessman, and she was also a famous and popular female celebrity, so it was not appropriate to show their faces and greet her parents.

However, Su Cheng, looking at Cherie Chung's parents' shop from a distance, could also see that the shop's business was very booming, with customers constantly coming in and out.

The biggest reason, of course, was due to Cherie Chung herself.

In this shop, there were many posters of Cherie Chung, and the background of the posters was taken in the shop, almost all of which were group photos of Cherie Chung and her parents.

In addition, Cherie Chung, as a popular female celebrity, often accepted interviews. During the interviews, she would occasionally reveal that her parents had opened a clothing store in Mong Kok.

In other words, this shop was equivalent to being endorsed by Cherie Chung.

With the celebrity effect, the business of this clothing store was naturally much better than the surrounding businesses.

It's true that women are born to love shopping.

Su Cheng accompanied her for a full two hours, and Cherie Chung didn't seem tired at all, but rather looked very energetic.

However, at this time, it was already past six o'clock in the evening, just in time for dinner.

He took her out for a candlelight dinner, which made the little girl's face full of happiness.

In the evening, Cherie Chung followed Su Cheng back to the Su family villa.

A night of passion.

Despite this, Cherie Chung left early the next morning.

According to her, the new film crew was going to Lantau Island to film today, so she had to arrive at the company on time.

However, Cherie Chung didn't drive to the Su family villa herself yesterday, so Su Cheng specially arranged for a driver to take her back to the Jia Yi Building.

And Su Cheng also had his own things to do today.

And today is May 16th.

The Eastern Harbour Crossing had raised enough funds, so it was natural to start construction.

In fact, the design方案 for the Eastern Harbour Crossing had already been completed by the government last year, so the design方案 step could be skipped directly.

This was also the reason why the government was so actively promoting the construction of the Eastern Harbour Crossing.

Since the design drawings were out and the funds didn't need to come out of their own pockets, and the Cross-Harbour Tunnel was congested every day, the Eastern Harbour Crossing would definitely be able to reduce the burden on the Cross-Harbour Tunnel after its completion.

Therefore, after raising the funds and completing the formation of the Eastern Harbour Crossing Company's construction team, the Highways Department directly determined the groundbreaking ceremony.

When Su Cheng arrived in Quarry Bay, even though it was only a little past 8:30 in the morning, many big shots had already arrived at the scene, including Sir Michael Sandberg of HSBC Bank and Sir Yue-Kong Pao, the shipping magnate.

This was a flat ground that had been fenced off, and various luxury cars were parked randomly on the ground.

When Su Cheng got out of the car, everyone came over to greet him one after another.

Su Cheng also responded to each of them. Everyone spoke on an equal footing, and no one felt that the other was inferior.

Many construction vehicles had already been placed on the scene, including heavy transport vehicles, large cranes, excavators, bulldozers, road rollers, loaders, and so on.

Those construction workers had also gathered hundreds of people at the scene at this time. They lined up and stood next to the construction vehicles.

At 8:50, Su Cheng saw the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Murray MacLehose, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

And all 12 shareholders who were present at the beginning came.

This project is a relatively large construction project in Hong Kong in recent years, so the groundbreaking ceremony should naturally be personally attended by Governor MacLehose to show its importance.

Su Cheng was happy to see the Eastern Harbour Crossing start construction as soon as possible.

Starting construction now, according to the normal construction progress, it would take three years to build this underwater tunnel.

And the development of Tseung Kwan O would take about the same amount of time.

This was perfect timing for Su Cheng.

By the time the construction in Tseung Kwan O was completed, this underwater tunnel would also be completed.

This would greatly increase the value of Tseung Kwan O.

Moreover, the construction of a tunnel is currently underway between Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O.

As long as the Tseung Kwan O Tunnel is opened, it will no longer be necessary to take a detour to go to Tseung Kwan O in the future. It will only take less than ten minutes from Kwun Tong to Tseung Kwan O.

Previously, if Su Cheng wanted to take a car to Tseung Kwan O, he needed to take a detour to the north, and it would take almost half an hour from Kwun Tong to Tseung Kwan O.

Therefore, the opening of this tunnel is crucial.

Not only will the highway be open, but the rail transit will also be open.

In this way, although Tseung Kwan O is separated from the city center by high mountains, it is equivalent to being integrated into the city center.

At 9:00 AM, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Eastern Harbour Crossing officially began.

Governor MacLehose personally presided over the groundbreaking ceremony.

According to the project introduction, the Eastern Harbour Crossing, abbreviated as the Eastern Tunnel, is the second cross-sea tunnel in Hong Kong and the first dual-purpose road-rail tunnel in Hong Kong. The starting point of the Eastern Harbour Crossing is the Eastern Corridor in Quarry Bay, Eastern District, and the end point is Lei Yue Mun Road in Cha Kwo Ling, Kwun Tong District.

That's right, this underwater tunnel is not only for highway use, but also for the rail transit to Tseung Kwan O.

The Eastern Harbour Crossing is 2.2 kilometers long and connects the eastern part of Hong Kong Island and the eastern part of Kowloon.

It has a total of 5 tubes, two of which are two-way two-lane road tubes, two are used by the MTR Tseung Kwan O Line railway trains, and one is a tube that houses the environmental control system.

The tunnel commenced construction on May 16, 1979, and is expected to open to traffic on June 1, 1982. (End of this chapter)
