Lan Kwai Fong was very lively two days later. God is so kind to us. The typhoon that has been raging in Hong Kong for many days has quietly left. Today is a nice and windy day.
The eight buildings completed in the first phase of Lan Kwai Fong are all decorated with lights and colorful decorations today, waiting for the opening ceremony.
Many old residents of Lan Kwai Fong also came here early this morning to see the new life of Lan Kwai Fong with their own eyes.
Today's opening ceremony was held secretly by partner Huo Jia. The deputy director of the Hong Kong Commerce and Tourism Department attended in person, and dignitaries from the Food Hygiene Department and other relevant departments also came to support the event.
Many preparations were completed last night, such as hanging colorful flags, banners, and inflatable arches. This morning, staff were placing flower baskets, laying carpets, installing and debugging speakers, etc.
At 8:30, the hostess appeared on the stage, the welcome song began to play on the speakers, the invited waist drum team came on stage and began to perform, and four pairs of lion dances from the lion dance team welcomed the arrival of the guests.
Sun Dahai arrived at the scene at this time. The road was jammed with cars. He saw that the time was coming, so he got off the car with Battelle and walked over. Ren Zhifeng and the car were still jammed on the road.
Sun Dahai was not going to show up in public, he was just here to watch.
Qiao Hongwei, as the general manager of Erection Future Holding Company and the major shareholder of Lan Kwai Fong Development Management Company, attended the opening ceremony.
Coincidentally, the opening ceremony of Lan Kwai Fong, like the opening ceremony of Sewijinghao Cafe, is also scheduled to officially start at 9:18.
Do people in Xiangjiang like to open at this time? The planner of the coffee shop’s opening ceremony is Ouyang Huihui, who is also from Xiangjiang.
After the host's opening remarks, he invites the guests to the stage, then cuts the ribbon and delivers speeches.
Sun Dahai, who had just attended the opening ceremony of the coffee shop in Shanghai, felt a little unenergetic. The two opening ceremonies were similar.
But then the lion dance team and the waist drum team performed on the stage. At the same time, Qiao Hongwei invited the deputy director of the Commerce and Tourism Department to join the stage and dot the lion dance's eyes together.
This is quite interesting. It was the first time for Sun Dahai to see the eye-dotting scene. Sun Dahai also watched the green picking ceremony that followed with great interest.
Finally, there is the pigeon release ceremony. The guests on the stage take the pigeon from the hostess and throw the pigeon into the sky together with the host's command.
At the same time, the staff opened pigeon cages all around, and countless pigeons flew into the blue sky together.
"It's not in vain today, it's still a bit new." Sun Dahai pondered, wondering what else he could do if there is an opening ceremony in the future.
The opening ceremony of Lan Kwai Fong was held in an empty space in front of the street. Before it started, the surrounding area was crowded with people, including many tourists from various countries.
The promotion work of Lan Kwai Fong started as early as three months ago. Not only is the Lan Kwai Fong Development and Management Company actively promoting the Lan Kwai Fong project as a whole, but also dozens of owners of the eight buildings in the first phase of the development project.
The Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.
They have promoted their stores through various channels. The publicity effects of the respective efforts of dozens of stores finally converged and became a powerful supplement to the official announcement of the Lan Kwai Fong project.
The opening ceremony of Lan Kwai Fong was grand and enthusiastic, but it was not long and ended in about an hour. This is probably related to the fast-paced life of Hong Kong people.
However, when the host announced the end of the opening ceremony, everyone did not disperse, but continued to wait and watch. I saw the lion dance team and the waist drum team, starting from Building 1 at the entrance of Lan Kwai Fong, performing all the way.
Arrive at Building 9.
Whichever building their performance passes, the merchants in that building will stuff red envelopes for the lion dance, then open the doors of their stores, and light fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the opening of their stores.
After the performances of the Sang Lion Dance Troupe and the Waist Drum Troupe came to an end at Building 9, the merchants in Lan Kwai Fong Phase 1 also completed their opening ceremonies.
At this time, the police and auxiliary police outside the entrance opened several gaps in the isolation belt blocking the entrance.
People who had been waiting for a long time formed several streams of people along the gap and quickly entered Lan Kwai Fong to find their favorite shops.
Seeing the huge flow of people coming in, Xiangjiang government officials were secretly happy. Judging from today's situation, a new economic growth hotspot is about to be born, which will greatly improve their political performance.
The people at Lan Kwai Fong Development and Management Company were also very excited. The hard work over the past year has finally begun to bear fruit. Even the experienced Sheng Zhiwen couldn't help but warmly hugged Qiao Hongwei and the CEO of Antai Real Estate.
The development company invited several groups of photographers to use their lenses to record this precious moment.
Lan Kwai Fong is officially open for business from today.
This not only represents the rebirth of the old neighborhood of Lan Kwai Fong, but is also a solid first step towards becoming a world-famous fashionable and leisure neighborhood.
Sun Dahai took Battelle and started walking around Lan Kwai Fong, following the flow of people.
As the largest shareholder of Lan Kwai Fong Development and Management Company and the owner of No. 9 hot pot restaurant, Sun Dahai does not want to expose these two identities for the time being.
Therefore, before it opened, he had not visited any other stores except Ren Tuanxi's Film Slow Shake Bar. Even Sun Dahai had not visited Sheng Zhiwen's California Bar.
Because Lan Kwai Fong has been under intense closed construction before. Except for the construction workers, store staff and company management personnel, no outsiders were present.
Although everyone also visits each other, they all do it to get to know each other, learn from each other, and even learn from each other. How can Sun Dahai, a half-year-old child, wander around without being noticed by others?
Today, the first phase of Lan Kwai Fong is officially opened to the public, and Sun Dahai has no worries when shopping.
In the first phase of the Lan Kwai Fong project, a total of eight three- to five-story commercial buildings were developed. Each building accommodates four or five merchants, all of which require large or extra-large areas.
The second phase of development will focus on small and medium-sized merchants. It is planned to build ten new commercial buildings with six to twelve floors.
The two phases are combined to cover the business area requirements of various merchants as much as possible, increase the differentiation of store types in Lan Kwai Fong, and meet the different hobbies of customers.
The third phase of development is a comprehensive development, with six buildings of different heights ranging from three to seventeen floors. It will not only cater to various customer groups, but will also introduce related supporting service industries such as banking, warehousing, logistics and distribution.
One of the three-story independent office buildings is the future office building of Lan Kwai Fong Development Management Company.
The planned bar and restaurant street in Lan Kwai Fong will be completed in three phases. There is also a four-phase plan, which targets the houses outside the planning area that were acquired by the company at a low price in the early stage.
The characteristics of this batch of houses are that they are relatively old and dilapidated. They cannot be used without renovation or reconstruction. However, the houses are sold at very low prices, with a large number and area. They are all located near a bar and restaurant street, and have huge potential for appreciation.
This batch of houses is relatively scattered and cannot be developed in large blocks. Therefore, the company has decided to only carry out maintenance for now. After the official third phase development project of Lan Kwai Fong is completed, it will fill in the gaps and deal with this batch of houses.
