Chapter 384(1/2)

The next day.

Everyone in Deep Water Bay got up early, and the servants at home had already prepared all kinds of breakfast. The Lou family happily ate breakfast in the restaurant, and then went out to find Zhang Zhonghua next door.

"Uncle Ahua, I'm going to ride an elephant today."

Lou Xiaobao immediately said excitedly when he saw Zhang Zhonghua.

"Uncle Ahua, I'm going to ride a carousel."

Lou Xiaobei also said with Lou Xiaobao.

"I'm going to take a pirate ship."

Lou Xiaobao said.

"I want to ride a lion and a tiger."

Lou Xiaobei amused everyone present with one sentence. The little guy is amazing. After riding a lion and a tiger, should I get a dragon to ride for you? You are not going to heaven!

"Little Beckham, we don't ride lions, tigers, etc. Lions and tigers can eat children. Can you take you to a bumper car?"

Lou Xiao'e said to Lou Xiaobei.

"Brother will take you to ride an elephant. It will definitely be fun to ride an elephant as big as an elephant."

Lou Xiaobao said to Lou Xiaobei.

"Okay, then I won't ride a lion and a tiger, but brother, you want to take me to ride an elephant."

Zhang Zhonghua and his party came to the dock in a car, and took a yacht to the direction of the New Territories. Zhang Long had arranged a team of people to go to the amusement park in advance for security.

Last night, Zhang Zhonghua also learned about some of the situations in Hong Kong Island Amusement Park.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there were two larger amusement parks on Hong Kong Island, one was in Lai Chi Kok beach, and the other was in Kai Tak Amusement Park in Sun Po Kong.

Moreover, in terms of history and scale, Liyuan is better than Kai Tak. Liyuan Amusement Park is the most classic brand in the history of Hong Kong Island Amusement Park.

As early as 1947, the Liyuan Amusement Park had its first prototype. The owner of the first generation amusement park was Shi Zhongshan, who was born in a wealthy Catholic family.

At first, the playground used the swimming pool as its selling point. Later, some large-scale mobile children's games imported from the Ugly Kingdom were added next to the swimming pool, thus opening up the children's world.

In 1949, the amusement park was built into the first roller ice rink in Hong Kong, which made the litchi garden take into account both from adults to children and young people, and also made the litchi garden a large comprehensive amusement park.

In 1950, Shi Zhongshan resold the operating rights of the litchi garden to Zhang Junguang, a wealthy weaving businessman.

After Zhang Junguang took over the Lizhi Garden, he changed the name of the Lizhi Garden to Liyuan Amusement Park and expanded it extensively. On the basis of the original amusement park, a water dance hall, a Manila band, a Western restaurant, a theater, and an open-air cinema were added. Of course, the most attractive thing to young people is the Ferris wheels, roller coasters, airships, bumper cars, haha ​​mirrors, carousels, etc. purchased from the United States.

In 1952, a zoo was added, and the entire amusement park included lions, tigers, big elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, giraffes, etc., which were quite comprehensive, and at this point it was all complete.

In the 1960s, Liyuan Amusement Park welcomed his third owner, Qiu Degen. Hong Kong Island tycoon Qiu Degen bought Liyuan Amusement Park for HK$1.5 million in 1962 and became a money tree under his jurisdiction.

Zhang Zhonghua didn't know the previous history of Liyuan Amusement Park, but he was more familiar with the following things.

In 1979, Qiu Degen invested tens of millions of yuan to build a historical and cultural amusement park - Songcheng.

Songcheng also became a film shooting base. The buildings in the city were all imitated by the Song Dynasty buildings, shops, money shops, theaters, courtyards, etc., just like ancient cities. The people who opened shops and those who performed arts were all dressed in ancient costumes in the Song Dynasty.

Many Hong Kong Island movies I saw later were filmed here.

However, after the opening of the Ocean Park in 1976, the Liyuan Amusement Park started direct competition in the Ocean Park.

However, at this point, the Liyuan Amusement Park began to decline, and the number of people entering the park continued to decline every day. Although Kai Tak Amusement Park, another amusement park in Hong Kong, went bankrupt in 1982, the business of the Liyuan Amusement Park did not improve due to the bankruptcy of Kai Tak Amusement Park.

In the end, the Hong Kong Island government decided to take back the land of Liyuan, and the zoo of Liyuan Amusement Park was the first to be hit. It was closed on July 31, 1993, and more than 100 animals were sent to Shenzhen Wildlife Park.

Zhang Zhonghua and his group took a yacht and quickly arrived at Kwai Chung Wharf. The weather was good today, the sun was shining and the sea breeze was very comfortable. There was no need to think that the Liyuan Amusement Park today was also tourists.

Chang Zhonghua, the Marine Park in Hong Kong Island, once visited, and Zhang Zhonghua also vaguely remembers some of the introduction to the Marine Park.

The Ocean Park was opened in 1976 and officially opened in 1977. It was originally built by the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club and handed over to the Jockey Club for management.

The park had few facilities in the early days, and the area was small. Since the 1980s, the Ocean Park began to expand again, adding large-scale mobile games, and built water parks, shark halls, torii, mountaineering elevators and Jigu Village. Later, the park was independent of the Jockey Club and needed to bear its own profits and losses. It changed to operating through commercial methods. It also began to add new projects and introduce more large-scale mobile games.

"Boss, it's Lantau Island, the famous outlying island area. The existence of this mountain just blocks the entire Victoria Harbor, so that the entire Kowloon area will not be affected by typhoons. This has led to the development of Kowloon. If there were no Lantau Island, Kowloon would be destroyed by typhoons every year."

Zhang Long introduced to Zhang Zhonghua.

Zhang Zhonghua is more familiar with Lantau Island. It is precisely because Lantau Island blocked the typhoon that not only allowed Kowloon to develop, but also because Lantau Island is there, the future Hong Kong Island International Airport will choose to reclaim land in Chek Lap Kok, and Disneyland is also built at the foot of Lantau Island.

The area of ​​Hong Kong Island is too small, and the land that can be developed is really limited, so there is no way to choose land reclamation. As for building an airport in the New Territories, the location here is too remote.

"I know, this place just blocks the typhoons in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung, so deep waters, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei are not affected by the typhoons."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Everyone left the dock and took the car prepared in advance to rush to Liyuan Amusement Park.

I drove into the Liyuan Amusement Park. Today was the weekend. All schools in Hong Kong were resting and the students came to play. The entire amusement park was so whispering and crowded, almost the same as the scenic spot during the long holiday before rebirth.

This amusement park should be quite profitable, and Zhang Zhonghua also saw a CFC restaurant in the park in the amusement park.

"Uncle Ahua, look, that's a carousel."

Lou Xiaobei said excitedly.

"Xiao Bei, can we go to the zoo to play first? There are too many people here, and it will take a long time to queue. I have someone to queue up. Will it be better to come and sit when it is almost here?"

Zhang Zhong looked at the long queue in front of the carousel, his scalp was a little numb, and he said to Lou Xiaobei with a wry smile.

"Ah, I have to queue up. It would be great if our family had an amusement park."

Lou Xiaobei said disappointedly.

Lou Xiaobei's words made the mouths of several adults twitch, and it was impossible to build such a large amusement park.

Let’s not talk about whether the Hong Kong government will approve it, so that you can waste your land resources and build an amusement park. Even if you are asked to build an amusement park, it is not possible to build a short period of time. Building an amusement park is not building a house, there are many things to consider.

"Amusement park? OK, no problem. Uncle Ahua will build a small playground for you in Deep Water Bay."

Zhang Zhonghua agreed readily that it would be a little bit of building an amusement park. As for those large-scale projects, they will not be built. There is no need to do it for self-entertainment.

"Are you a small playground? Are there any elephants and camels that can ride?"

Lou Xiaobei said.

"Yes, buy a few elephant camels at that time, and ride whatever you want."

However, the elephant tastes quite strong when raised, so we need to build a cleaning system well.

After comforting the two children, everyone began to walk towards the zoo. There were countless tourists surrounded by the elephant, and a few little guys fed the elephant with the purchased bananas.

Unfortunately, the elephants here are not trained and cannot ride them. If you want to ride an elephant, you can only go to Thailand. At most, you can see the elephants in the amusement park here.

"Camel, there are camels there..."

"Look at the lion over there, the hair is so long..."

"Tiger, there is a brain axe. His head really has the word "Wang" on it. It's so terrible..."

"Bai, do you still want to ride a lion and a tiger?"

"Aunt, I won't ride anymore, they look so fierce."

"Mom, what's in the water? It's so terrible."

"That's a crocodile."

...

...

In the morning, Zhang Zhonghua and others visited the zoo and walked towards the CFC restaurant. The little guys were already hungry.

"Su Qun, where are you Su Qun, Ye Suqun, are you?" A woman was looking for her daughter.

Zhang Zhonghua forgot to hear the sound. Is this Sister Liu? This is Sister Liu who introduced high-quality employees to him when Zhang Zhonghua founded CFC in the early days and provided him with considerable protection for the early development of CFC.

Is Sister Liu's child lost?

Zhang Zhonghua immediately walked up and asked, "Sister Liu, why are you here? What's wrong?"

When Sister Liu saw that it was Zhang Zhonghua, she immediately said in a crying voice: "Zhang Sheng, my daughter can't be found. She disappeared just after she turned around."

"Sister Liu, don't worry, what clothes are your daughter wearing? How old is she? How tall is she?" Zhang Zhonghua immediately comforted Sister Liu and asked.

"Zhang Sheng, my daughter Su Qun, is 3 years old this year, 110 cm, wearing a red top and a white skirt. Her name is Ye Suqun. Zhang Sheng begs you to help me find Su Qun! I'll kneel down for you!"

Sister Liu cried and said to Zhang Zhonghua that she would kneel down for Zhang Zhonghua.

Zhang Zhonghua hurriedly supported Sister Liu. Although Zhang Zhonghua called Sister Liu, Sister Liu was actually more than teenager than him, so he didn't dare to let Sister Liu kneel down.

"Where are the kids missing?"

Lou Xiao'e also came over and asked with concern, she also knew Sister Liu.

"It's right here, I can't find it in a blink of an eye."

"Aaron, except for the necessary people, everyone else goes to find people and search for places with many children."

Zhang Zhonghua ordered.

"I understand!" Zhang Long immediately instructed the surrounding security guards to disperse and start searching. Zhang Long and the remaining people were responsible for continuing the security work, so that the children would not be lost. The two young masters of the Lou family could not find them.

Lou Mu, Lou Xiao'e and Liu Xiaoli began to comfort Sister Liu. There were too many people in the amusement park today, and children were indeed easily lost.

"Boss, it's already dinner time, I'll buy some food first?"
