Sir Gordon Wu Ying Sheung (Born in December 1935, still Living in Hong Kong), the Hong Kong Tycoon, chairman of Hong Kong-listed Hopewell Holdings Ltd , has for 20 years advocated the construction of Asia's largest bridge project linking Hong Kong, Macau and China's Zhuhai city. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge project was given support by the PRC government in August 2003.
Since the 1980s, Wu has steered Hopewell Holdings towards developing his vision of creating a world-class transport system for China's manufacturing powerhouse in the Pearl River Delta, which includes much of Guangdong province and makes use of its proximity to Hong Kong to access professional services and logistics.
The bridge will span two man-made islands, allowing it to go through an undersea tunnel and let shipping pass. The concept is based on the existing Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in Virginia, United States.
Here's recorded some of his famous quotes in his business life.
"You have to earn money the hard way. Because no-one will serve it up to you on a silver platter."
"I probably have mellowed down a bit. But when it comes to principles, I still have to make a stand."
"Princeton has made an enormous difference in my life, and I am delighted to be able to express my gratitude in such a tangible way. The generosity of earlier generations of donors made it possible for me to attend Princeton as a young student from Hong Kong, and I have always wanted to do all I could to assure that students in the future.. from the United States and around the world.. will have the same kinds of opportunities I had to learn from faculty members who are leaders in their fields at a university that remains second to none in its commitment to teaching." ~talking about his $100 million donation to Princeton University
"Whenever there is a a financial crisis, it is always the banks that get hit."
"Anybody who doesn’t think that Hong Kong has to depend on the PRC (China) must be the biggest idiot on earth because you are talking about getting access to a 1.3 billion people market."
