The management of agriculture, industry and commerce is known as the four ancient people's work, its order has also represented their different social status, to say that the biggest change is "business", now want to rely on "business" and change the fate of many people, because of the business and rich people are Li Ka-shing and Hu Yingxiang and other people as representatives, the same rich, Hu Yingxiang once provided tens of billions of material support for the country, but in the 15 billion project was blocked by Li Ka-shing, is it because of the cake of others?

Hu Yingxiang's name seems to rarely appear in our lives, in comparison, Li Ka-shing has become a household name because he is the "Discipline Inspection Commission" of the entertainment industry. Hu Yingxiang was born in 1935, is a Hong Kong native, his ancestral home is in Huadu, Guangzhou, while serving as the chairman of Hong Kong Hopewell Industry, he is also the honorary president of the Guangdong Deep Chinese Culture Promotion Association, although there are various honorary bodies, but what makes the country respect this businessman is because of the selfless righteous deeds of building bridges and roads for the country in these 40 years.
Hu Yingxiang is a down-to-earth rich second generation, his father is the "king of the scholars" Hu Zhong, because the family is rich, coupled with Hu Yingxiang's talent in business, when he was very young, his father intended to guide him to the business side, originally thought that Hu Yingxiang would go to economics when he grew up, Hu Yingxiang chose to study civil engineering at Princeton University, which is a "dry construction site" major in the eyes of some elderly people.
The father did not force Hu Yingxiang to develop in the direction he liked, but in a chat with his son, Hu Yingxiang suddenly suggested that his father buy the land in Causeway Bay, at that time there were not many people who could have this financial resource, but the income after buying it was immeasurable, this was a risky investment, out of trust in his son, Hu Zhong still did it, after a period of time, Causeway Bay showed its extraordinary commercial value, becoming a cornucopia of the Hu family's continuous source of wealth. Even sitting at home can receive an unusually large sum of money every day.
At this time, everyone found that although Hu Yingxiang did not study economics, but his business talent did not decrease in the slightest, but because of the blessing of the major he studied, it became more practical, as the family business became larger and larger, Hu Yingxiang thought of studying abroad, and then looking at the backward development of the motherland today, Hu Yingxiang made up his mind to stay in The country to work hard, and first determined that he decided to move forward in the industry, the real estate industry.
At that time, real estate was still a relatively profitable industry, because Hu Yingxiang's own unique vision coupled with the support of his father, after a period of time, Hopewell Construction Company was formally established, successfully entered the real estate industry, listed in 1972, in 2008, the net assets have reached 26 billion Hong Kong dollars, net profit of more than 6.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The Hopewell Center was once the tallest building in Asia, and next door to the Hopewell Center was the Hu Zhong Building in honor of his father, and since then, Hu Yingxiang can often be seen running in this part of the building.

In the early days of reform and opening up, Hu Yingxiang was already the leading rich man in Hong Kong at that time, and after the opening of the national policy, many people took advantage of this shareholder wind to go to the newly opened pilot bases to work hard, hoping to achieve a career, Hu Yingxiang was naturally no exception, but the purpose of Hu Yingxiang's coming to Guangzhou this time was not to make money, but to drive local development together.
"If you want to be rich, first build roads" traffic is the fastest way to drive the development of a region, and Hu Yingxiang in his own wealth, the first thought that can be thought of is to drive the development of his hometown, under the trend of this idea, he returned to his ancestral hometown in Guangzhou, trying to make some contributions, in the end, he set his goal on the transportation facilities of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, Shenzhen has developed at this time, if this lifeline is opened, Guangzhou will certainly be driven up.
In addition, the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Expressway, which runs through the north and south of China, with a total length of 53.8 kilometers, has also accepted Hu Yingxiang's investment, and since the opening of this highway, the driving time of the new route has been shortened by about an hour compared with the original route, which has provided great convenience for the people who travel more frequently between the two places, and the commercial exchanges between each other are more fluent.
Guangdong's famous Humen Bridge is also from Hu Yingxiang's handwriting, from 1992 began construction, until 1999 was completed and accepted, the bridge deck is a two-way six-lane highway, the project is almost spent more than 3 billion yuan.
With such a big hand, almost no one is willing to believe what Hu Yingxiang said: "This is just to promote the development of the country, and only if the domestic development is good can Hong Kong develop well." They thought it was just a superficial gesture until Hu Yingxiang responded officially.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > do good deeds</h1>
"After the construction cost of the bridge is recovered, the bridge will be handed over to the management of the government department." This kind of frank behavior of shouting directly at the government directly makes many narrow-minded people shut their mouths, and rich businessmen who can achieve such a point as Hu Yingxiang have cooperated with the government, and as businessmen, integrity is an indispensable thing, and it is a thing that will never be done to break their word.
Today's Humen Bridge has been open for a period of time, there are many vehicles coming and going, just the round-trip toll can reach almost three million yuan per day, just this investment, if it is really handed over to the government in the future, this continuous stream of wealth generated every day is a very objective figure, coupled with the relevant reports of the Shenzhen media show that Hu Yingxiang's total investment in the mainland is more than this, before and after the accumulation has reached almost 67 billion yuan, like placing one after another will make money "machine" And these "machines" he donated to the state.
Among them, "Shuntian Primary School" and "Hu Zhong Experimental Building" are all from the hands of Hu Yingxiang, providing rich educational resources for local students, so that more children can enjoy their future in school and practice their dreams, for more than ten years, the investment in the mainland alone has reached tens of billions, and the part of the profit income has basically been returned to the society through the relevant departments, and even the power plants built are donated to the country free of charge, and he takes himself as the representative. It has played a good leading role in the cooperative relationship between Hong Kong enterprises and inland.
"For me, the wealth I have obtained now, a lifetime of food, clothing, shelter and transportation is basically enough... I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace, but for me, it's only really starting now. Hu Yingxiang's "architectural dream" and the most gorgeous chapter have not yet begun to be written, how can he stagnate on the way forward.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > bridge repair dream</h1>
As a "master of architecture", Hu Yingxiang has made more than these construction investments, among them, the real world-famous construction is the "Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao" Bridge, this idea has actually been put forward in the early days, he has always had a dream of building a bridge that can connect Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
But for various reasons, it has not really been implemented, but this idea has been lingering in his mind, and in 2002, Hu Yingxiang made sufficient preparations to officially announce this new idea to the public.
Since 1983, he noticed that the three places of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao are very close, but there is no way between each other that can go straight, the goods trading can only rely on the wharf and the port, it is very inconvenient to build bridges in these three places, in these three places to build bridges is a big move, there are naturally many people in the industry who know his intentions, and the voices of people who oppose it for a time are more than they agree, which is obviously a good thing, why do they oppose it?
Among them, Li Ka-shing, who is also a business tycoon, is the most strongly opposed, the contradiction between the merchants is nothing more than because of the lack of interests, this new transportation channel will deprive those terminals of the original interests, the reason why Li Ka-shing raised the opposition, is nothing more than because of its and Huang port business lies in this, in addition, there are other freight parties that rely on the docks for a living all year round, if Hu Yingxiang's bridge is really built, then these docks are bound to be abandoned, and the previous glory will no longer exist.
If the origin of Causeway Bay is the Hu family's whistleblower shed, then these dock industries are Li Ka-shing's gold-swallowing caves, of course, swallowing other people's gold, but if Hu Yingxiang really builds this bridge, then those port transactions are bound to go with the bridge, how can Li Ka-shing be willing to watch the fat meat in his mouth fall into other people's bowls, naturally want to snuff out Hu Yingxiang's plan.
In addition, although Li Ka-shing is a big family on the dock, there are also other businessmen who have also taken root here, involving so many people's cakes, and Hu Yingxiang's project being blocked is basically a matter of certainty, because there are many voices of opposition, Hu Yingxiang in order to implement his own plan, can only keep circumventing, try to see if he can find other ways.

This time Hu Yingxiang pinned his hopes on the government, and at the same time met with those businessmen who were infringed on their interests, first of all, he said that after building the bridge, it will only be better and not bad, and the bridge did not know that only he alone funded the repair, but everyone repaired it together, invested together, and made money together, which was a steady profit and no loss of business, many businessmen moved their hearts, and finally followed the pace of Hu Yingxiang's construction of the bridge, and because Hu Yingxiang has made contributions to the country in recent years, the government has also happily agreed.
Wait until 2002, Hu Yingxiang once again put forward the idea of building a bridge, at this moment most of the businessmen on the negotiating table have been moved, only Li Ka-shing and other small groups of people are still indignant and dissatisfied, but the matter has become a foregone conclusion, even if there is no role in opposing at this moment, after the end of the talks, a group of rich people led by Hu Yingxiang have raised a total of 15 billion yuan, and with the support of the national government, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has begun to prepare for construction.
In fact, this bridge will be built sooner or later, it connects not only these three cities, but also the economic trade between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, at this time the inland development has been booming, developing their own business on the mainland, and it is not the desire of those Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurs, but only Hu Yingxiang, plucked up the courage to be the first person, only he can be this first person, after all, under the strong opposition of Li Ka-shing, there is no fear of being able to maneuver from it, and few people can do it.
This is China's first offshore immersed tube tunnel, in the process of design and construction have encountered many problems, but fortunately there are many experts day and night to come up with a variety of solutions and construction plans, and finally can be successfully completed, at the time of completion, this Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge represents not only the domestic economy and Hong Kong, Macao long-term common development, but also a huge step in China's bridge construction.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > conclusion</h1>
From 2009 to 2018, up to nine years, this Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which has attracted much attention since its birth, was finally completed, and the bridge that Hu Yingxiang has been looking forward to since 1983 has finally been perfectly presented in his eyes after nearly 40 years of twists and turns, which is a "dream bridge" and a "concentric bridge", which represents the confidence in the future economic prosperity of the motherland, and it is also the confidence that the motherland must be a strong country in the future.
