Chapter 1510 The Hung Hom Tunnel is severely blocked!
Empire State Building.
Office of the Chairman.
Yang Ming looked outside the window. In his office now, besides Lin Xiuzhi, there were also He Chaohuan, Alina, Yingla, and Lin Zhiling.
Except for Lin Xiuzhi, who has been Yang Ming's secretary for many years, He Chaohuan and the other four are more like assistants.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, do you have any activities?"
"Boss, are you asking me? My mom asked me to go home early today to eat glutinous rice balls."
It is a Chinese tradition to celebrate the Lantern Festival by eating glutinous rice dumplings.
Now Lin Xiuzhi is the same.
Of course, by the time Lin Xiuzhi was this age, her parents were already close to 70. Because Lin Xiuzhi had a high salary and benefits, she had been taking care of her parents all these years.
"Sir, I'm going back to have dinner with my parents." Alina said.
Alina's parents are teachers in Hong Kong, but they have long been accustomed to the culture of Hong Kong. They usually live with Alina's parents in Central Hong Kong. If Alina does not return to the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa, she will also return to her parents.
The remaining three daughters are He Chaohuan.
He Chaohuan had nothing to do, so she went back to her villa in Jardine's Lookout.
Yingla and Lin Zhiling now follow Yang Ming wherever he goes.
"Sir, I will go back to accompany my mother and sister in the evening. They will return to Canada after the Lantern Festival."
The villa in Jardine's Lookout was originally a gift from Stanley Ho to the second wife. However, the second wife basically stays in Canada and seldom returns to Hong Kong, let alone Macau.
Usually, He Chaohuan and the maid Mary live there.
"Then I'll go out with Yingla and Lin Zhiling this afternoon."
noon.
After Yang Ming finished his lunch in the cafeteria of the Empire Group Building, he left the Empire Group Building with Yingla and Lin Zhiling.
When getting in the car, Chen Zhenhua asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Let's go to Xiangjiang Central Park first."
Although Yang Ming was the founder of Hong Kong Central Park, he never went there again except for the day it opened.
Chen Zhenhua heard that his boss was going there and was worried that there would be too many people and whether there would be safety issues.
In fact, as far as Hong Kong is concerned, Yang Ming is really not worried.
Because no matter where we are, we are all his people.
Chen Zhenhua drove out of the Empire Group Building car park, then left Central and came to the vicinity of Causeway Bay, passed through the Hung Hom Tunnel, exited from the Hung Hom Tunnel, and then went to the old Kai Tak International Airport.
The old Kai Tak International Airport was expanded through land reclamation and turned into a park larger than New York's Central Park.
Today, it has become a business card of Hong Kong.
It is the Lantern Festival now, and although it is Monday, there are still many tourists there.
Chen Zhenhua first dropped Yang Ming, Yingla and Lin Zhiling off the car and asked the other bodyguards to follow Yang Ming while they parked the car at a farther place.
Yang Ming walked into Xiangjiang Central Park.
He found that there were really too many people in the park.
It is the Lantern Festival now and the sun is shining in Hong Kong in the afternoon but there is a bit of chilly wind.
However, there are too many tourists here now.
At first glance, almost all of them are tourists, including local Chinese, white people, and tourists from China and overseas.
On the lawn, in addition to some people sitting here to eat, there were also some adults bringing their children to fly kites.
Because it is still the Lantern Festival, there are still many various artificially cultivated flowers here.
On the first day of the Lingzhi New Year, I came here with my parents. At that time, there were more people in Xiangjiang Central Park.
In fact, it is difficult for many people to imagine why, given the high land prices in Hong Kong, the government was willing to give up such a large piece of land, especially to build such a large park next to Victoria Harbour.
When many people learned that this was exactly what Yang Ming proposed, they praised Yang Ming even more.
Yang Ming is wearing sunglasses now. If you don’t look carefully, you wouldn’t know that Yang Ming is here.
On the contrary, the appearance of the two beauties, Yingla and Lin Zhiling, still attracted a lot of attention.
There were more than ten bodyguards following Yang Ming. Even if those people wanted to ask Lin Zhiling or Yingla for their contact information, they probably wouldn't dare to come over.
Xiangjiang Central Park is very large and you can spend most of the day there.
In addition, there will be a fireworks display lasting more than an hour in Victoria Harbour tonight.
Many tourists are waiting for the grand fireworks show tonight in Central Park, on the top of Victoria Peak, in hotels in Victoria Harbour, or on cruise ships.
Yang Ming was not very interested in the fireworks show, although he was the one who first proposed it.
In fact, this has greatly promoted Hong Kong's hotel, tourism and consumer industries. Basically, the annual Lantern Festival fireworks show can attract a large number of tourists from home and abroad to Hong Kong for sightseeing and consumption.
It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Yang Ming, Yingla and Lin Zhiling took a walk around Xiangjiang Central Park.
Yang Ming and they left.
Then leave here and go across to Causeway Bay.
On the Kowloon side, when we were about to enter the Hung Hom Tunnel, we found that there was a serious traffic jam.
"Boss, the tunnel is congested now, so we may have to wait," said Chen Zhenhua.
If you encounter this situation, sometimes taking a boat from the pier on the Hong Kong Central Park side to the other side is actually faster than taking a car.
"Yingla, what did you see?"
"Sir, with more and more people in Hong Kong, including more and more tourists, it is obvious that the traffic volume in the Hung Hom Tunnel is already overloaded."
It has to be said that in Yang Ming’s previous life, Yingla was the ruler of Siam and she saw the problem at a glance.
On the evening of the first day of the new year, Yang Ming and Li Jiaxin also said that he wanted to build eight bridges in the Hong Kong River, including five bridges in Victoria Harbour.
It just hasn’t been brought up yet.
Now it seems that the sooner this bridge is built, the better.
Yang Ming and others waited in the car for nearly forty minutes.
Traffic in the Hung Hom Tunnel was gradually allowed to pass.
Finally, I came out of the Hung Hom Tunnel near Causeway Bay, and then went to the nearby beach as Yang Ming said.
Originally, Yang Ming wanted to go to the top of Victoria Peak, but he knew that today was the day when there would be the most people there, so he decided to take a look around and go back tonight.
"Boss, is this the place?" Chen Zhenhua stopped at a big seaside restaurant. There was a park next to it, Victoria Park, a relatively beautiful urban park.
But Yang Ming has never been there once since he came to this world.
Now let’s go have dinner with Yingla and Lin Zhiling.
"We are having dinner at this seafood restaurant tonight."
Chen Zhenhua and his bodyguards naturally followed him in.
When the owner of the seafood restaurant learned that it was Sir Yang who came, he was very respectful and enthusiastic, and personally took Yang Ming and others to a private room with floor-to-ceiling windows near the sea.
After Yingla and Lin Zhiling ordered the dishes themselves, Yang Ming stood at the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside.
