Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

Tao Zhiming and Zhao Yuanxi drove around Shipai Bay in a car, and as far as they could see, they were mainly fishing boats and small cargo boats.

Zhao Yuanxi said: "Shenwan is pretty good here."

Tao Zhiming was noncommittal, and said with flickering eyes: "Have you rented the yacht yet? Let's go to Lamma Island to have a look."

"Lamma Island?" Although Zhao Yuanxi was puzzled, he called and asked, and then walked to the pier with Tao Zhiming.

Liang Long's two apprentices, Zhong Zhisen and Gan Yewei, were already waiting on the yacht.

Tao Zhiming calmly ordered, "Go to Ludiwan Pier on Lamma Island."

The yacht passed between the fishing boats and small cargo ships in Shipaiwan, and Tao Zhiming watched with interest the scene where a trace of the scenery of the fishing village still remained.

Of course, the fishing village with the most flavor now depends on Tai O.

Lamma Island, where Tao Zhiming is going, is the third largest island in Xiangdao.Although it is very close to Xiangdao, it already belongs to a separate large outlying island area.

Although Lamma Island is big, there are very few people on it, and the residents are only a few thousand.

The area is large enough, but it is difficult to develop. Naturally, there are reasons.

Unlike Lantau, which is the largest island in Hong Kong, it is very cost-effective to build a cross-sea bridge to connect it.Tao Zhiming knew that the new airport on Xiangdao would be built on the north side of Lantau Island in the future.

However, the foundation of Lamma Island is too poor, the population is too small, and it is two kilometers away from the main island. It is really difficult to arouse the interest of major real estate developers and Xiangfu.

Tao Zhiming was very interested.

It's better if there are fewer land adults. In that case, the land price will be cheaper, and he can get more.

Anyway, in Xiangdao, he owns both film and television studios and yachts, which are all related to vacation and fun.

The yacht crossed the East Boliao Strait, and first a round island appeared in front of Tao Zhiming.

Seeing Tao Zhiming staring there, Zhao Yuanxi introduced: "This should be Luzhou, like an ellipse, with a length of about 300 meters and a narrow side of about 200 meters. There is a Tin Hau Temple in the east of the island, built 100 meters For many years."

Tao Zhiming nodded, and the yacht drove to the west side of the island. Seeing the terrain, Tao Zhiming said fondly, "This is facing Ludi Bay, but there is a relatively flat place, and there is also a beach."

"This is not Crescent Beach, not good. The beach in Ludi Bay is better."

Luzhou is like a gateway, guarding the East Lamma Strait leading to the sea surface of Lu Di Wan on Lamma Island.

In front of the yacht is an offshore breeding farm, and densely packed fishing raft cages are distributed on the bay.When the fishermen saw the yacht approaching, many of them looked at the wooden houses on the fishing rafts or on the small boats, looking around curiously and discussing.

The flexible yacht was only driving slowly along the water surface between the fishing raft and the coast. Tao Zhiming asked, "It seems that there are not many fishermen living here?"

"On Lamma Island, the most densely populated place is Rongshuwan in the west." It was Zhong Zhisen who spoke, "I am from Lamma. There are less than a hundred households in Ludiwan."

"Are you from here?" Tao Zhiming was a little surprised, "Coincidentally, then you know Zhou Runfa?"

"The boss also knows that Brother Fa is from our Lamma?" Zhong Zhisen and You Rongyan said, "But Brother Fa doesn't know me."

Tao Zhiming nodded with a smile: "Isn't it less than a hundred households?"

Zhao Yuanxi looked at his expression and asked blankly: "You don't think this place is good, do you? It's too remote."

"What's remote?" Tao Zhiming turned his head to look at Ap Lei Chau, which was half covered by Lu Chau. When the tall buildings were built on the seaside there, he could see it at a glance.

The most important thing is, if he insists that this place is very good, then when the power plant in Ap Lei Chau moves here, the area around Ap Lei Chau and Shek Pai Wan, which is 2 kilometers away, will also develop. Will you spare some land on Lamma Island, the third largest island?

It's always good to let them put more money in the land.

Tao Zhiming made up his mind, so he said with satisfaction: "Let's go, go back."

His reason is very good: considering the narrow water surface and the current situation of Seac Pai Bay, his super yacht Bravo Peach will not be able to drive in at that time.

Moreover, apart from the bustling city of Xiangdao on the north side of Lamma Island, the east, south, and west sides are all beautiful islands and the sea surrounded by this circle of islands.

It is of course very suitable to be a yacht home port here.

As for Seac Pai Bay, it’s okay to build a port, anyway, it’s just a small place on the shore to set up a club, and the bay area is just to rest and reorganize the pier.

But if Tao Zhiming was to move first in Shipaiwan, Lamma Island, where the land price was cheaper, would have to give him more points.

In the future, Tao Zhiming will work through Tao Yaren's network. In the future, if Disney wants to build an amusement park on Xiangdao, it doesn't have to be built on Lantau.

It's only two kilometers, isn't it just a bridge across the sea?

The most important thing is that the other side of the bridge is the land where Tao Zhiming used to build a semiconductor factory!

……

"Built on Lamma Island?" Li Jiacheng, who heard Tao Zhiming's intention, couldn't help being stunned, "Then the transportation...does it really rely solely on passenger ships and yachts?"

Tao Zhiming said on the phone in a leisurely manner: "Yes, the water surface at Shipai Bay is too narrow, and there are too many small shops for fishermen and other related industries. I feel that it is too troublesome. Moreover, the east side is completely covered by Xiangdao Ocean Park. It is occupied, and there is no room for development. At most, there will be a sub-port, and some pick-up ships will be arranged. But the development of Lamma Island may be even greater. If it is there, it is not far from Victoria Bay."

"From North Point to Waterfall Bay...it would be convenient to build a bridge."

Listening to his muttering, Tao Zhiming couldn't help but sigh that he is indeed an old fox, and he saw the possibility of the future in a blink of an eye.

But this is a conspiracy. If Xiangdao wants to build a new airport, it will definitely not build this kind of cross-sea bridge in the next ten years.Not to mention the difficulty of building this bridge, the price alone has to be calculated in billions of meters.Tao Zhiming's super yacht can be built with a little more money. The key is that the population on Lamma Island is really too small now. After the bridge is built, how can it be paid back?

Sure enough, Li Jiacheng felt unreliable after thinking about it: "Do you want to build such a big yacht home port?"

"The Kai Tak Airport is suitable. It can't be moved now." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Mr. Li, since the power plant in Ap Lei Chau is going to be moved, and it is going to be moved to Lamma, it just happens to be an opportunity. The land should be reorganized." All right, the common people should move. Take this opportunity to make a big plan, superficially publicize the great development of Lamma Island, build a public housing there, and cultivate the population first. Reserve it first, and I will use it to start developing the Ludiwan area. With the cost of acquiring the land there, there will be no loss."

"Let me think about it again... Can we build a sub-port first on the side of Shipai Bay?"

"Yes, just leave a piece of land that can be used as a yacht club. Twenty or thirty berths are enough for the time being." Tao Zhiming did not forget to complain, "In fact, it seems that only so many berths can be built, and the space is still too small. By the way. By the way, Mr. Li, if the progress on Ludi Bay is slow, I can take down the west side of Luzhou first. The three directions of the island are stone cliffs, and the west side can still be developed. A resort is fine too. Thirty or forty mu of land is barely enough.”

"Luzhou..." Li Jiacheng seemed to be wondering why he suddenly decided that Lamma Island was better.

Tao Zhiming is not in a hurry, anyway, the land of the semiconductor factory needs to be released from the 400 mu of land that the Li family currently owns. Tao Zhiming really needs his support for the site selection of the yacht home port.As for the comprehensive development of the yacht home port, each company wants to participate in a part of it, and the site selection must take into account the interests of all parties.

He jumped from Shek Pai Wan or Ap Lei Chau to Lamma Island in one fell swoop. Although the distance is only two or three kilometers, there is a strait in the middle. The effect of this drive...is greater in the long run, but in the short term it is about five years effect is not so obvious.

Tao Zhiming was not afraid that he would not want to communicate.

Due to the current situation and natural terrain of Shipai Bay, there is indeed no place that meets the scale of yacht home port as described by Tao Zhiming.

And from Shek Pai Wan to Ap Lei Chau to Lamma Island, the space for imagination on this large scale is indeed much stronger.

With Kowloon Bay still an airfield, Tao Zhiming was sure they had no better location for the stunt.

A midpoint location connecting Repulse Bay and Victoria Harbor by sea.

If it is positioned as a luxury toy such as a yacht for the upper-middle class and the wealthy class, if it is placed in Lodi Bay, the high-rise mansion planned by the Li family on the peninsula at the northwest corner of Cyberport and Ap Lei Chau will be visible at a glance. yacht landscape.

Two kilometers, to put it bluntly, in some parts of the river, the river is much wider than this!

Chapter 378: Mrs. Li's Olive Branch

At night, Li Jiacheng gathered together with some elders in the family business, including his sons, to discuss the new ideas proposed by Tao Zhiming.

"He has resources in Neon, so don't think about it." Li Ju likes to express, "We don't understand what is going on in the film and television city, how can we pay back such a large investment in the home port of the yacht, because we don't know that he is in Neon. What kind of resources can I bring here? In short, there is no need to let him just because he seems to be at a disadvantage. He came to Xiangdao to do something because he begged us."

Li Jiacheng frowned: "Don't say such things outside!"

"How could it be? I'm not stupid." Li Ju continued to chatter, "I've chatted with his pony boy Zhao Yuanxi a few times, the one named Tao is in Neon, and he can only engage in the industry with the slowest payback. His music company has never released a big album, and it must have been suppressed there. Now he wants to go to Hokkaido to travel, and he also does it in Tokyo. How can he make money from real estate? The local property in Tokyo is what he worshiped. That big brother Kinoshita Hidekaze is doing it! I think it’s fake that he’s building a film and television city, and it’s real to use it to build villas there, or to build a resort real estate like Yujingwan on Lamma Island!”

Li Jiacheng stopped him and asked other subordinates: "If you give up 400 acres of the 50 acres of land next to Pok Fu Lam Road to him, there will be 350 acres left. We must find a way to get the land at Ap Lei Chau. Kai Tak Airport The land on the side, and some scattered ones, need money if you want to get them. Now the discussion is whether there is any value for Lamma Island to reserve some land, and how much it will cost.”

"Lamma Island belongs to the Outlying Islands District. The District Council of the Outlying Islands District, it is good for us to take this opportunity to deepen some relations." The mature and prudent person analyzed, "Didn't it mean that Governor Wei originally intended to move the airport to Lantau? ? If the power plant in Ap Lei Chau is also moved to Lamma Island, we have to buy it at a lower price before these things are finalized."

"It will cost too much money." Li Jiacheng thought about being next to Kai Tak Airport, Ap Lei Chau and Shek Pai Wan, and the land next to Pok Fu Lam Road and Lamma Island. It's a little tight.

"There is only less than 9 years to go, and there will be a big panic at that time. In fact, it can only be counted as 8 years. Before that, we must take advantage of this opportunity to make enough money. Financing or bring other people to do it together. In our group reputation, there is so much money they want to make with us."

Li Jiacheng thought for a while and then said: "He is getting closer to the Huo family and the Dong family. I haven't figured out whether there will be any nails buried in this matter. The airport will not be able to move in a while, then Let's not be in a hurry, reserve it and not develop it, let's see the situation in ten years! But the more land we get, the better, this is definitely right. Lantau and Lamma are trying to get more. If his factory It is really built, and the benefits are good. It is not too late to build buildings on the land next to Pok Fu Lam Road. Ap Lei Chau and Shek Pai Wan are still the top priorities. These can be developed immediately, and the population there is very fast. It can reach hundreds of thousands."

Li Ju felt that his father was thinking too much: "He is an outsider after all, and the Huo family and the Dong family are just using him. Seeing his ostentation every time he comes to Xiangdao, he wants to save face and likes to make friends with celebrities. As far as he is now Net worth, he spent 2 million yuan in one go to buy such a yacht, and his prestige is written on his face. As he can only come to Xiangdao for a few days a year, his home port of the yacht needs to be really developed. We rely on the support of the rich people in Xiangdao. I think the land given to him should be less and the price should be higher!"

"It's not bad to find out his real quality." Someone nodded in agreement, "How much money he has and how big his appetite is, it has to be proved by real money. Doesn't he want Ludi Bay? And officials from the outlying island district Let’s make good friends with the people on Lamma Island first, and mainly earn money from him. Let’s play the role of helping them attract investment.”

"Others choose the meat that is easy to eat, and he wants to mix with the Kowloon Walled City and go to the remote Lamma Island. I think he is putting on a big face, but it may be false in reality." Li Ju said confidently, " I’m afraid the others are false, but the land where the factory is to be built is real. That’s the best location! It’s close to Ap Lei Chau and Seac Pai Wan, and the price can’t be lowered!”

The Li family had doubts about Tao Zhiming's true strength, and wanted to trick him into being a foreigner and make good use of him.

But Lu Yan prepared very seriously for Tao Zhiming's visit.

Qiu Shuzhen was very disturbed, she didn't know what Madam Li asked Taili to call her here today.

Although she once won the Miss Hong Kong competition this year, she had to withdraw from the competition.Who knows, the radio station still signed her.

Now being invited to the house by Mrs. Li, a large shareholder in Taili, she is both happy and confused.

If Madam Li values ​​her, it goes without saying that she will have a bright future in the future.

However, after arriving here, Mrs. Li never showed up. Instead, the servants at home have been busy.Qiu Shuzhen was sitting on the sofa at a loss when she saw Mrs. Li appear in the living room and walked over.

Qiu Shuzhen hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Mrs. Li..."

"Sit first." Lu Yan sat next to her, tilted his head to look up and down, and then smiled meaningfully, "Sure enough, she is exquisite and charming, no wonder she is so popular."

"... Ma'am, I'm overwhelmed." Qiu Shuzhen knew that the stage was full of stars, and the most indispensable thing was a beautiful actress.And what Taili hates to see most is that some people are arrogant and self-indulgent. Last year's Miss Hong Kong runner-up was hidden in the snow because she was picky about her work.

"I heard that you are dating the son of the Guan family. After work, he drives a nice car to pick you up?"

Qiu Shuzhen was startled, and hurriedly said: "Every time I tell him not to go, but how can I control him..."

Lu Yan glanced at her indifferently: "That kid will change every year or so, do you think you are special?"

"... Ma'am, is there something bad that has been reported back to the station?"

Lu Yan waved his hand: "Shao Sheng is in charge of the affairs of the stage. I called you here today to ask you if you dated Guan Xiaozi for the sake of becoming famous? I heard that the boy asked you to play the role well. You have killed a lot of people, you are amazing."

Qiu Shuzhen was so anxious that she broke into a sweat: "I was arranged by the auditorium, and I don't have the idea of ​​playing the leading role right away!"

Regardless of whether they are from Hong Kong sisters or training classes, there are only a handful of people who can become popular in the first few years.Although Qiu Shuzhen also hoped so in her heart, she seemed to have made Mrs. Li unhappy now.

Lu Yan looked over sharply: "If you are really in love, then talk about it. If you just hang him, then your vision is a little shallow. You signed a contract this year, and you will act this year. Too late, Do you understand?"

"I know, I know, thank you for the opportunity given by the stage..." Qiu Shuzhen obediently bowed her head to be taught, wondering if it was because Young Master Guan was too attentive and caused bad influence on the stage.

Lu Yan nodded: "I hope you really understand."

She glanced at Qiu Shuzhen lightly again: "Since you want to rely on men to be popular, I will give you a chance, you can choose for yourself."

Qiu Shuzhen was confused and didn't know why, but when Lu Yan saw the housekeeper approaching, she had already stood up: "Are you there?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Come and greet me." Lu Yan said this to Qiu Shuzhen.

Qiu Shuzhen walked behind suspiciously, step by step, and when she walked outside, she saw the person getting off the car at the door, her eyes widened involuntarily.

What exactly does Mrs. Leigh mean?

Tao Zhiming, who just got out of the car, was also taken aback when he saw Qiu Shuzhen behind Lu Yan, but he walked over calmly, and just said hello politely: "Mrs. Li, I came in a hurry, and I only prepared a bottle of wine, please forgive me." .”

"Mr. Tao is polite. I just mentioned something yesterday. It is my honor that Mr. Tao arranged the time today. The cold house is small, so Mr. Tao should not dislike it."

"Where there is, this house is full of history, it is my honor to be invited to your home."

Tao Zhiming has already entered the greeting guest suite.

Liang Long's apprentice Zhong Zhisen took the wine and went to the side hall. Lu Yan asked him to go to the living room and said, "I heard Mr. Tao went to Lamma Island today, but it's a pity that Runfa couldn't make it because he was filming. Last year Tao Have you met him before? He is from Lamma. As soon as I got older, I called someone who was about the same age as Mr. Tao to come over and talk. Let’s have a good time. Shuzhen also went to Fulihua yesterday, Mr. Tao knows him, right? "

Hearing her say so lightly, Tao Zhiming felt weird, nodded and said with a smile: "I know. Miss Qiu, hello."

"Hello Mr. Tao..." Qiu Shuzhen saw that Mrs. Li called her to accompany Tao Zhiming in the family banquet.Thinking back to what she said before, could it be that Mrs. Li had some request to Mr. Tao, implying that she would accompany Mr. Tao well?

Tao Zhiming took it even more. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Yan's gourd.

Could it be that Lu Yan already knew about the news that Guan Zhilin stayed in Fulihua last night?And the so-called image of "women are weaknesses" has been accepted by her, so why did she come out like this?

Thinking of all the actresses in TVB, Tao Zhiming's scalp tingled a little.What exactly did Lu Yan hear from Tao Yaren, and what appeals did he have to him, to make such an arrangement?

He looked at Qiu Shuzhen's eyes in Lu Yan's eyes, and felt more reliable.

When eating yesterday, she found that Tao Zhiming looked at Qiu Shuzhen a few more times.During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also many shows on the stage, and the most popular, more beautiful and temperamental ones are not able to go.That night, in terms of good looks, Guan Zhilin and Qiu Shuzhen were the most beautiful.

As a result, Guan Zhilin, who is now more presumptuous after being divorced, became more courageous. He made such a fuss last night and stayed in Fulihua.

It can be seen that Tao Yaren is right, this Tao Zhiming has many women in Tokyo, and lust is one of his life gates.

Before getting down to business, Lu Yan was just chatting with Tao Zhiming.

"President Tao voted for two dramas in Golden Harvest and two dramas in New Art City this year. I heard that he plans to vote in 5 dramas this year, and there is one more. I wonder if he can cooperate with our wireless station?" Lu Yan said with a smile, " Of course, I don't care about the affairs in Taili, Shao Sheng went to Omen today, he asked me to ask this."

"I heard that Shaw Brothers Films has announced that it will not make movies this year?" Tao Zhiming was puzzled for a moment and then smiled, "I haven't started to actively contact you yet. I'm just looking at the scripts and projects sent by others."

"After TVB's parent company went public the year before last, it is now planning to reorganize and list the TV station independently. Shao Sheng stopped the project of Shaw Brothers Movies, in order to devote more energy to the TV station, focusing on making TV series. In order to have a good stock price after the TV station goes public next year, there is a big drama Shao Sheng wants to do well. There is actually no shortage of funds, but I hope to expand the income channels by then and improve the production model."

Tao Zhiming understood: "Video tapes and other regions' distribution and broadcasting?"

"That's right, Shao Sheng hopes to invite Mr. Tao to participate and help clear up the mainland and Nihong. By the end of the year, this drama can deliver a better result."
