I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

To say that the family with the highest income in Xiangjiang now is of course the Yang Ming family.

However, the income of most Xiangjiang citizens is considered very high globally. Compared with the Yang family, the gap between the rich and the poor is very, very large.

It can be said that this is simply incomparable.

Just like comparing ordinary people in previous lives to Li Jiacheng, there is no comparison.

It is precisely because of that that Yang Ming still attaches great importance to the future worries of these ordinary citizens of Xiangjiang, that is, pension insurance and medical insurance.

If pension insurance and medical insurance are solved, then the worries of most ordinary people will be solved.

Based on the current MPF contributions that these ordinary people pay by themselves and the part that companies pay, under normal circumstances, their pensions should be quite large when they retire.

However, Yang Ming knew it was definitely not enough.

If income can be obtained through MPF investment, then this fund will be of a snowball expansion type. The greater the investment income, the more funds will be obtained. When the MPF expires and those people retire, the greater the pension will be.

It can be said that similar pension funds in every country in the world use this method to increase returns and depreciate land parcels.

Before this, Huifeng Bank was responsible for investing in Mandatory Provident Funds, with annual returns ranging from 3% to 4%. Calculated, this amounted to tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars a year, which seemed like a lot.

However, in Yang Ming's opinion, this return on investment is almost the same as the interest deposited in the bank.

When Kayla came back this time, Kayla knew her situation very well, so Yang Ming proposed to let her be in charge of the Xiangjiang Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund. On the one hand, he trusted Kayla, and on the other hand, because Kayla was his woman.

This matter was naturally left to her to handle.

Neither Shen Bi nor Pu Weishi had any problems, and they even felt that no one was more suitable for this position than Keira.

After the discussion.

Shen Yi and Guard Pu went down, but Keira still stayed here.

When Governor Zhong Yijie and his wife came over, this time in addition to Zhong Yijie, there was also the newly appointed Chief Secretary Bai Teng of the Hong Kong Governor's Office. As for the original Chief Secretary Wei Yixin, he had returned to London.

He did not have the opportunity to serve as the governor of Hong Kong, but only served as the chief secretary. Now in the last term, he has no way to stay in Hong Kong, so he can only be recalled to London.

And Bai Teng has another name.

Peng Dingkang.

Historically, the last governor of Xiangjiang.

This time, the other party was also invited to attend the New Year's Eve banquet.

At this time, Governor Zhong Yijie was invited to meet Yang Ming.

After the two greeted each other.

Zhong Yijie knew Kayla from Yang Ming's side.

"This is Keira."

"Sir Yang, I know him."

Keira is not simple, she can represent Yang Ming in London.

"Now she has returned to Hong Kong and is preparing to take charge of the general manager of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund."

Responsible for the general manager of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Investment Fund?
That is to manage Hong Kong’s current 3000 billion Mandatory Provident Fund.

"Sir Yang, I have great faith in Miss Keira's abilities."

In fact, like Pu Weishi, he does not believe in Keira's ability, but in the ability of Yang Ming and the Imperial Group. It is most appropriate for the Xiangjiang MPF to be handed over to Keira.

After talking about this.

Yang Ming talked with Zhong Yijie last year about the establishment of Hong Kong Central Park. This matter has a great impact in Hong Kong, and of course the support rate is also very high.

Perhaps except for a small number of real estate consortiums who oppose it, most people in Hong Kong support it.

It is precisely because of that that Zhong Yijie's influence is now rising.

But this time, Yang Ming proposed a bigger plan.

Yang Ming wants Xiangjiang to gradually integrate into the country, the Pearl River Delta, and the future Daya Bay Area.

Regarding the proposal of the Greater Bay Area.

Historically, in 1994, Wu Jiawei, then president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, proposed to build the Pengcheng Xiangjiang Bay Area based on San Francisco. At the beginning of the 21st century, Yangcheng took the lead in proposing to rely on Nansha Port to benchmark the Tokyo Bay Area.

On October 2009, 10, the relevant departments of Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and Haojiang jointly released the "Study on the Coordinated Development Plan of the Greater Pearl River Delta Town Cluster" in Haojiang, proposing to build the Pearl River Estuary Bay Area and the three places to jointly build a world-class town cluster. .

In 2014, the Pengcheng Work Report proposed the concept of "Bay Area Economy" for the first time, proposing to build a new pattern of opening up with the new development of "Bay Area Economy" and accelerate cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Although historically, by next year, some people have already proposed the development of Xiangjiang and Pengcheng to benchmark the San Francisco Bay Area.

However, it was simply impossible to achieve at that time.

On the contrary, after more than ten years of development in the 21st century, it began to be slowly proposed.

By the time Yang Ming came to this world, the so-called Greater Bay Area was actually more of a concept.

However, Yang Ming knew that the sooner he developed, the better.

Moreover, in addition to continuing to maintain Xiangjiang's advantages, he also knows that the way out for Xiangjiang in the future is to integrate into the country as much as possible.

So, now Yang Ming has thought about it.

The concept of the Greater Bay Area can be put aside for now, but transportation infrastructure still needs to be developed.

Some time ago, he went to Lantau Island to see for a long time, and then to the north of Xiangjiang for a long time.

In fact, he has already thought about wanting Xiangjiang to be integrated into the country.

Transportation and communication are the most important.

For this reason, Yang Ming proposed to build a cross-river bridge connecting Pengcheng, Xiangjiang, Haojiang and Zhucheng on the basis of the historical bridge.

In fact, it is a horizontal double 'Y' shaped cross-river bridge.

Because the traffic flow in Pengcheng is increasing, it will be much easier to build this cross-river bridge leading to Zhucheng and Haojiang River.

Moreover, waiting until the future construction is more than ten years later will waste a lot of time and money.

Historically, the predecessor of that bridge was the originally planned Lingdingyang Bridge. In the early 20s, although the land transportation channels between Xiangjiang, Haojiang and the mainland were continuously improved, the transportation links between Xiangjiang and the west bank of the Pearl River Delta were restricted due to the obstruction of Lingding Ocean. In the late 80s, due to the Asian Financial Affected by the crisis, Hong Kong believes that it is necessary to build a cross-sea channel connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao as soon as possible to leverage the advantages of Hong Kong and Macao and find new economic growth points.

In fact, in history, in 1983, Xiangjiang wealthy businessman Hu Yingxiang proposed building the Lingdingyang Bridge, and the country also attached great importance to it.

However, this was opposed by many people.

Among them, Li Jiacheng is probably the one who opposes the most.

Because it involves a large number of ports and terminals of the other party, the construction of this bridge feels that it will affect the other party's business.

Another thing is that some people think that the construction of this bridge will affect the feng shui of Xiangjiang.

There is a consensus in the Feng Shui community that the topography of Xiangjiang belongs to the "Turtle Land", with a male and a female tortoise.Among them, the Kowloon Peninsula in the north is called the "male turtle" due to the protrusion of Tsim Sha Tsui, and the concave areas such as Wan Chai and Central in the south are called the "female turtle".

The male turtle sends it off and the female turtle welcomes it, forming a "double turtle playing in the sea situation" (also known as the spirit turtle going to sea situation).

Between sending and receiving, the most prosperous Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong was formed.

In order to strengthen the connection between the two turtle bureaus, the relevant parties in Hong Kong specially built a "turtle egg"-shaped building - the Hong Kong Space Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui, the place where male turtles are located in the north, to attract female turtles to go north to hatch; and a "turtle egg"-shaped building was built in Wan Chai in the south. The construction of the "Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center" will attract male turtles in spring to move south, thus strengthening the connection between the two places, nurturing yin and yang, and creating magic.

The bridge is winding from west to east.The western section near Haojiang Pearl City is longer, and the section near Xiangjiang is shorter.

At the sea end of the two sections of the bridge is an artificial island, which is shaped like a snake head. The two islands are connected through an undersea tunnel.From the aerial photos, the bridge looks like two snakes coming out of the sea, facing each other from east to west.The two turtle fields in Xiangjiang face each other in the north and south. Is it a coincidence that they are in pairs?

In the past, Yang Ming wanted to blow up Lantau Island and develop land reclamation. Of course, many people opposed it.

But it is useless to object.

Even if many people think that this will affect the feng shui of Xiangjiang, if that is the case, the biggest impact may be on Yang Ming and the Imperial Group.

Since Yang Ming and the Imperial Group are not afraid, others don't have to worry.

This time, Yang Ming did not know whether Hu Yingxiang had proposed building the Lingdingyang Bridge as he had in history. However, Yang Ming knew that because his Asian Expressway was already Hu Yingxiang's expressway company, Hu Yingxiang probably did not propose it. .

In other words, this is the first time Yang Ming has proposed it.

Yang Ming pointed to the map of Xiangjiang, looked at Governor Zhong Yijie and said: "This is Lantau Island on the Xiangjiang River, this is Pengcheng on the opposite side, this is Zhucheng, and this is Pengcheng. Today, the Xiangjiang River and Haojiang River are separated by one river. , it is still troublesome to take a ferry to get there. However, what if a cross-river bridge is built here? Then Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Zhucheng, and Pengcheng can be connected together, promoting the four cities, and even the entire Pearl River Delta. Development of the Triangle.”

Zhong Yijie was really surprised.

He didn't think about it at all.

However, Yang Ming actually thought of it now.

"Sir Yang, what do you mean?"

"If Xiangjiang wants to develop, it must be connected and integrated with the country, especially Guangdong Province, and transportation is the most important foundation. There are such bridges in San Francisco and Tokyo Bay."

It’s just that the current bridge may be longer and require more investment.

Historically, this bridge was said to have cost 1200 billion RMB. This was certainly a very valuable bridge, but that was more than ten years later.

Labor, materials and other aspects have increased many times, but if it is built ten years in advance, a lot of cost can be saved.

Moreover, it can promote the development of the three places faster.

Of course, even if Yang Ming wanted to invest solely in this bridge, it would be difficult.

Therefore, he is prepared to let the Imperial Group, Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Zhucheng, Pengcheng, and even Guangdong Province invest, and if he still feels that it is not possible, he can even let the domestic authorities participate.

Although the shares are dispersed, the investment funds are dispersed and the investment risks are also dispersed.

Moreover, according to the current investment, the maximum investment may be less than 500 billion RMB, or even lower, divided into six points, on average, it is probably about a few billion RMB.

Zhong Yijie looked at the design of this bridge more and more. If it was really like that, he really couldn't imagine the future.

"Sir Yang, why didn't you bring it up directly?"

He felt that Yang Ming and the Imperial Group could propose it directly and then negotiate with multiple parties. After the negotiations, they could conduct an environmental impact assessment and then confirm the start of construction.

Zhong Yijie didn't understand why he was asked to bring it up.

"Because it's more appropriate to be official."

Yang Ming hopes that the Governor's Office will propose it, and then the Imperial Group and the Asian Highway Kilometers Company will cooperate.

Of course, Zhong Yijie can personally negotiate with Guangdong Province, Haojiang Governor's Mansion, Zhucheng, Pengcheng, and even the country.

Of course, when Yang Ming sends a letter to Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, they will definitely be very supportive after hearing about it.

"Sir Yang, I understand. This bridge is very beneficial to the development of Hong Kong. I support it very much."

Yang Ming knew very well that no one could stop the general trend.

Historically, although Li Jiacheng and others competed and delayed the construction for more than ten years, it was finally built. In fact, in Yang Ming's view, golden time was wasted.

After discussing this matter with Zhong Yijie.

The two came down from upstairs.

At this time, more distinguished guests came. Whether they were white people or Chinese, they were the elites and upper-class people from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

This time, Yang Ming invited the Dong brothers, Wu Guangzhen and his wife, Mrs. Bao and others.

. . .

18:00 in the evening.

The New Year's Eve banquet at the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa has officially begun.

The New Year's Eve banquet was very lively.

It lasted until after 21 o'clock in the evening. After the fireworks show ended, many guests dispersed.

Except for Huo Jianning, Mailisi, and Ma Shimin who stayed, everyone else left.

Just now Yang Ming personally sent Governor Zhong Yijie and his wife to the upper level.

As for the new Chief Secretary Bai Teng, Yang Ming regarded him as the white-faced Jude. Bai Teng already knew how influential Yang Ming was in London.

However, this time, he was also shocked.

It is conceivable that Yang Ming's influence and status in Xiangjiang cannot be shaken.

After these people left.

Yang Ming left Mai Lisi and others to discuss the cross-river bridge.

"Boss, will the construction of this bridge affect our port terminal?" Melis asked.

Yang Ming saw Meris saying that.

He was wondering whether in history, Melisi had said the same thing to Li Jiacheng.

However, this is no longer the case in history.

"Look here, most of our ports have been moved here. The construction of this bridge is not only harmless but more beneficial to us."

"Boss, you mean?"

"Yes, in the future this bridge will be connected with our deep-water port on the outskirts of the Lantau Island reclamation area."

Mailisi, Ma Shimin, Huo Jianning and others were all surprised.

In fact, they also knew that when Yang Ming wanted to blow up Lantau Island and then reclaim the land on a large scale, it was destined to be different.

Finish discussing with them.

Mai Lisi and others went back first.

Yang Ming was still there in the study.

And tonight, Zhou Huimin and Li Zi were once again shocked by the New Year's Eve banquet at the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa.

Tonight, lobbyists can come like clouds, and the most important thing is that they are all VIPs, big shots in Xiangjiang. This is something that Zhou Huimin and Li Zi cannot even imagine.

At this time, Yang Ming was looking at the map, Zhou Huimin, and Li Zi came in. The two women didn't know what Mr. Yang was thinking.

"Did you just eat?"

"Mr. Yang, I just ate with Azhu." Zhou Huimin said.

"Me too."

The New Year's Eve banquet at the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa was very rich, with more than 20 dishes, many of which were the first time for these two women. (End of chapter)
