Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 473 The Principal Draws a Pie

  Lantau Island is located in the western waters of Xiangjiang. The terrain is mainly mountainous. It is the largest island in Xiangjiang, with an area of ​​about 140 square kilometers, twice the size of the most prosperous Xiangjiang Island in Xiangjiang.

   There is Phoenix Mountain on it, with an altitude of more than 900 meters. It is the second highest peak in the Xiangjiang River. The southwest of Lantau Island is relatively flat, and the population of the island is basically concentrated in that place.

  Lantau Island in the early 1980s had a small population. Most of the islanders were concentrated in a small town called Tai O Town.

  The small town of Tai O is known as the "Venice of the Hong Kong" in later generations. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the urban area, quiet and peaceful, and it is a good place to live.

   Affected by the topography of the island, Lantau Island has not been greatly developed until the 21st century.

  The island retains the style of the early fishing villages of the Xiangjiang River, with beautiful scenery, high huts on the waterway, and rows of ancient hut buildings, which set off the unique fishing village style of the southern fishing island.

   Halfway up the mountain, Yang Chen listened to his principal's words, stepped forward to support the breathless Principal Huang, and asked, "Principal, do you want to establish a branch of Xiangjiang University on this island?"

   Principal Huang waved his hand and seemed a little reluctant to be supported. After a few breaths, he nodded and said, "That's right, don't you despise other places, which are too small and noisy to be the location of a branch campus?

  This Lantau Island is more than 100 miles in total, which is the size of two Xiangjiang Islands. Although there are many mountains, we are building a school, not a factory, so we don’t pay much attention to it.

   In this place, you can just find a flat piece of land to build the school. The terrain of Lantau is high enough that there is no need to reclaim the sea like other places, and the waterway transportation is also convenient.

   The most important thing is that the environmental protection here is very good, and tourism development can be carried out. Don’t you want to let Hong Kong University follow the path of Stanford University?

  I have a thick face, so I asked Governor Mai to nod and agree. This island is full of mountains and flats, and the development value is not great. Apart from tourism development, I can't do anything else.

   Governor Mai said, you get a tourism development company, and before his term ends, he can make the decision to package this place for you to develop, and you can fill in the specific contract for how many years.

   However, in the future, for tourism companies to make profits, you must devote 80% of them to education and support the development and innovation of Hong Kong University…”

   After listening to Yang Chen, he curled his lips, "How many years you can fill in casually, that Governor Mai Da is really generous."

   After resting for a while, Principal Huang continued to walk on foot, saying as he walked, "You kid can be cheap and good-looking. This is Governor Mai. If it's someone else, don't even think about it."

  Yang Chen followed behind Principal Huang, pouted and said, "Principal, if you want to develop this place to make a profit, you still don't know how much capital you need to invest in the early stage. Eighty percent of the profit will be invested in education, you old man are not afraid that I will quit the job?"

   Principal Huang stopped at his feet, turned his head and widened his eyes, angrily said: "What's wrong with the 80% profit? Didn't I leave you with 20%? Which **** swore at the beginning, patted his chest and promised to fully support his alma mater?"

Speaking, President Huang suddenly changed his style and said with a smile: "If you think it's too few, then when you fill in the contract period, you can fill in a few hundred years. The president has no problem. In the future, the development of Hong Kong University will not be without your benefits. "

  Yang Chen: "Principal, are you always making a cake for the students?"

   Principal Huang nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, that's right, you, principal, I'm just making a big cake for you, just think about it, in case your kid stumbles and falls, has no money, and is homeless..."

   "But if you develop this place early, there will be a place for the elderly in the future, and it will not be reduced to the streets..."

   Yang Chen's face became darker the more he listened to it, but it was dark, Yang Chen found that he couldn't find any reason to refute his principal.

   As President Huang said, if he develops this place well and Hong Kong University will have stable financial support in the future, he will be able to be like Stanford, where the school and the enterprise are intertwined.

   After thinking for a while, Yang Chen stepped forward to support his principal, and said, "Principal, can we take this matter slowly? It won't take too long, it will be almost the same next year."

   Principal Huang reminded: "This matter can be done as long as you agree, but the tourism development company's affairs should be done as soon as possible, while Governor Mai is still in his position, he can still call the shots, and sign the contract as soon as possible, so as to avoid things going wrong in the future."

  Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to get the tour company up in two days, and then I'll find someone to survey the terrain first, and by the way, plan the entire Lantau Island, so that there will be no chaos if the plan is implemented."

Principal Huang: "I can help you find someone in this regard. The entire Lantau Island is such a big place. It won't take long. When the time comes, the school will be selected. The donation you promised last time, hurry up and give it to me first. exchanged."

  Yang Chen casually said: "Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

   Principal Huang: "Don't think that I stay in the school every day and don't know what's going on outside, this time Hong Kong is probably going to experience another stock market crash.

   In this case, God knows what will happen. Principal, I don’t like to study the stock market as much as you do. If your kid goes bankrupt overnight, who will I ask for money? "

  Yang Chen: "…"

   "Principal, are you really good at cursing & students like this? You know what I say now is the pride of Hong Kong University, you are not afraid that I will go bankrupt and your old man's follow-up plans will be in vain?"

   Principal Huang shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll find other people to cooperate with you. Xiangjiang lacks everything, just rich people."

   I didn't care about Yang Chen's bitter face, everyone who came to Lantau Island would choose to go to the Baolian Temple on the mountain to take a look.

   Principal Huang is busy with work on weekdays and rarely comes here. He came here today, and naturally he can't help chatting with his host friend for a while.

  Po Lin Monastery is located on the Ngong Ping Plateau of Lantau Island. It is one of the largest Buddhist resorts in Heung Kong. It was founded in 1924 and has been 57 years ago.

   Baolian Temple is known as the "Buddha Country in the South" because of its huge building scale and beautiful terrain.

   In later generations, the most interesting thing about Baolian Temple is the Tiantan Buddha, which has not yet started construction. The largest bronze Buddha statue in the world has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists.

   At this time, Po Lin Monastery just gave birth to the idea of ​​building a big Buddha. It will have to wait until the end of the year for Po Lin Monastery to receive the response from all walks of life in Hong Kong.

   Looking at the bare front of Baolian Temple, Yang Chen's eyes kept flickering. Regarding belief, whether it is Buddha or Taoism, he only believed in a shallow way.

   In the future Lantau Island, the one he took was Baolian Temple. If he wanted to develop this place, he had to deal with the group of monks in advance.

   In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to give some of the benefits to those people. The development of Lantau Island will also benefit the group of monks.

   After all, these days are not like ancient times. In ancient times, the monks only needed to build the temple to the top of the mountain, and the whole mountain belonged to them.

   This kind of thing is completely impossible in this era. All the planning of the temple must be applied in advance, not just how you want to come.

  If he really doesn't want to, as long as the Po Lin Monastery is not planned, those people can't even drink a mouthful of soup. This is really no joke.

   Thank you Zhiqiu Yimu for your reward and support. . . Serve the boss some tea.
