Chapter 1600 1599 [We are both descendants of Yan and Huang, so we should encourage each other! 】
"What do you mean? We want to invest money but we don't have the chance?"
"You want to lose money but don't give me a chance?"
At this moment, those big guys understand what it is. On the surface, investing in building a bridge is a loss-making business, but the meaning behind it is different.
As long as you are willing to invest money, you will be a hero of Hong Kong and Macao. Not only can you build a good relationship with Shi Zhijian, but you can also build a good relationship with the governments of Hong Kong and Macao. The intangible benefits and value are simply incalculable!
When doing business, you must have a long-term perspective!
If you are short-sighted, you will only be a wealthy businessman for the rest of your life.
Only those with a long-term vision can be called tycoons!
…
When the banquet is over and everyone is preparing to leave——
"Dear Shi, I will discuss the construction of the Hong Kong-Macao Bridge with the government here and Portugal! As you said, this is a major matter that benefits the country and the people. We must take our time and there is no rush! But I
I can assure you that the results will be available soon!”
For the sake of "famous in history", Macao governor Li Andao was ready to risk his life.
As the saying goes: "When people pass by, they leave their names; when geese pass by, they leave their voices!"
He didn't believe it. He worked so hard and still couldn't get anything!
As Minister of the Interior, Costa is also excited. After all, if this bridge is really built, he can gain some good reputation. Even if he cannot be compared with Australian Governor Li Andao, he can still write a mark in the history books: "A certain
In a certain month of this year, the Minister of the Ministry of Interior of Macau, Jorge Costa, actively fought for the construction of the Hong Kong-Macao Bridge..."
"Mr. Shi, is there any chance? I also want to contribute to the construction of the bridge!"
"Yes, we people are so proactive! We can contribute money and effort!"
Those big guys who just figured it out sighed sadly, and some of them felt regretful.
At this time, they didn't care about their face and came over one after another to ask if there was still a chance.
"Don't get excited! I can understand everyone's mood! Everyone is willing to contribute money and efforts to build a bridge - well, if there is anything, you can contact Mr. Fu Yunzhao for the time being, and I will tell you
Leave the specific matters to him!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
"That's good!"
"Yes, we really want to spend money and contribute!"
Fu Yunzhao did not expect that Shi Zhijian would entrust such an important matter to him, which represented Shi Zhijian's trust in him. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi, for your trust. I will live up to expectations and successfully complete the task!"
Next to him, Luo Bao couldn't help but feel a little envious as he watched Fu Yunzhao dominate the limelight here.
Now that I think about my identity as a Portuguese, compared to Fu Yunzhao's Chinese identity, I am indeed more suitable for this role.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, as if the bridge across Hong Kong and Macau would be built immediately, Shi Zhijian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the last life, someone actually proposed building a cross-sea bridge to connect Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai a long time ago to enhance the economic development of the mainland, save shipping time, and facilitate people's passage.
This person is the famous Hong Kong businessman Hu Yingxiang. On the 97th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, he once again made this suggestion and expressed his willingness to invest in the project to benefit society. However, the infrastructure conditions at the time did not allow people to build on the sea.
With such a long cross-sea bridge, this project was shelved.
In 2009, my country's infrastructure level reached the level requirements of this project, and the construction project of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was officially launched on December 15, 2009. A total of 126.9 billion yuan was invested in this bridge, and 9 After many years, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was officially opened to traffic in 2018.
The success of this project has established my country's international status as an infrastructure powerhouse. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is also the longest, most difficult to build, and most successful cross-sea bridge in the world.
Of course, there are bound to be many problems during the construction of such a severe project. The construction team faces many difficulties. The most thorny problem is that there are no natural islands in the sea area where the cross-sea bridge is built, so the bridge has no fixed fulcrum.
The solution to this problem is to build artificial islands. The construction team built 120 giant cylindrical tubes with a diameter of 22.5 meters and a height of 55 meters on land using steel, and moved them to the corresponding seabed and fixed them.
An artificial island was built between the tubes. The solution to this problem is unprecedented in the world and can be called the first in the world.
The successful opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has promoted the rapid economic development of Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macau, greatly shortened the transportation time between the three places, and made the transportation of materials, economy, and talents faster and better in these three places.
More efficient flow.
Now, Shi Zhijian put forward this idea in advance. Although the link between three places was changed to a link between two places, the actual meaning is the same, that is, everyone is Chinese, whether Macau or Hong Kong, everyone is connected by flesh and blood. In this case
, why do we still face each other across the ocean? Why not use a bridge to connect our Chinese bloodlines?!
Just when Shi Zhijian was in endless reverie, seeing that Shi Zhijian and others were about to leave, the restaurant owner couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly asked people to come over with pens, ink, paper and inkstones prepared.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi! It's like this. It's an honor for us to be able to receive you in our shop today! I wonder if I can give you a piece of calligraphy? Please forgive me for disturbing you!"
What the restaurant owner said was very tactful and well-founded. If Shi Zhijian is unwilling, then he can just say "Excuse me" and lead the people away in despair. If Shi Zhijian is willing to give me the word, that would be the best. From now on, he will
Wangjiang Tower can become famous in Hong Kong and Macao!
Seeing the cautious look of the restaurant owner, Shi Zhijian smiled and said, "Why not?" As he spoke, he handed the folding fan to Yan Xiong, who had been waiting next to him.
Yan Xiong looked honored. Not to mention helping to carry the folding fan, it was an honor to help Shi Zhijian carry his shoes.
When other people saw that Shi Zhijian was going to inscribe this restaurant, they also became curious and guessed what Shi Zhijian would inscribe.
Business is booming and money is pouring in?
Either that—
Develop great ambitions and make great progress?
Shi Zhijian rolled up the sleeves of his long shirt, took a brush and dipped it lightly on the inkstone. After the pen tip was full, he thought for a moment and put pen to paper -
In an instant, several large characters with iron paintings and silver hooks poured out——
When Shi Zhijian finished writing everything in one go, everyone looked at the white paper and were all stunned!
But I saw it clearly written on it: "We are both Yan and Huang people, and our blood complements each other; we drink from the same river, why should we divide the north and the south?!"
Facing Shi Zhijian's "unique" inscription, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Especially the restaurant owner, who was even more confused when he saw such an inscription. What he was looking forward to was "rich wealth" and "great ambitions". This was "descendants of Yan and Huang", and what the hell was "dividing north and south"?!
But before I could figure it out, there was already thunderous applause from everyone around me!
