We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Since returning to Hong Kong, Su Cheng had immersed himself in the warmth of his family, enjoying a full week of tranquility before setting off to Su's Group, Hutchison Whampoa, and other affiliated enterprises to gain an in-depth understanding of their latest developments and operational status.

During this time, he devoted almost all of his leisure time to his family, reveling in domestic bliss.

During this long week of vacation, Su Cheng made a special arrangement to drive to the Deep Water Bay villa and spend an unforgettable night with Kwan Ka-wai.

Since officially entering the gates of the University of Hong Kong at the beginning of September, Kwan Ka-wai's life had been fulfilling and colorful. She not only continued to cultivate her comic career but also shouldered the responsibilities of a student, diligently pursuing her studies.

Therefore, her daily life was mostly occupied by school courses and activities, and she usually resided on campus.

At this moment, her emotional knot had been untied, and she was no longer troubled by her father's abandonment.

Time passed day by day. One day, after Su Cheng first inspected the world's tallest building project under construction, he returned to his private office in the Su's Group Building.

The building was progressing extremely quickly. According to the current progress, it should be completed by 1982.

At that time, he would be the owner of this world's tallest building.

This skyscraper was not only the pride of his commercial empire but also an important milestone in his personal career.

After the inspection, Su Cheng drove back to the Su's Group Building in the city center and walked straight to his spacious and bright private office.

In the office, everything was in order, and the city scenery outside the window was fully visible.

Not long after sitting down, Yang Chaoye pushed the door open and entered. The two had an in-depth exchange and discussion on some important decisions of the group recently.

As the topic deepened, time passed unknowingly.

When everything was settled, Yang Chaoye nodded in satisfaction, preparing to leave to carry out the next work plan.

Just as Yang Chaoye was about to step out of the office threshold, Su Cheng's mobile phone suddenly rang.

He quickly answered the phone and habitually introduced himself: "Hello, this is Su Cheng."

A familiar yet unexpected voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Su Cheng, hello, this is Newbigging. I apologize for the intrusion. Are you available now? I have some matters regarding cooperation that I would like to discuss with you in person."

Hearing the name "Newbigging," Su Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He did not expect that this Jardine's taipan, who was renowned in the business world, would personally call, let alone that the other party would propose a desire for cooperation.

After all, the relationship between Su Cheng and the Jardine Matheson Group had always been quite delicate, and they had even once been competitors.

Take the demolition of Dasha Ling Village as an example. The two sides had had considerable friction because of this, and Jardine even mistakenly believed that Su Cheng's obstruction of the demolition was out of malice.

However, later, Mr. Shen Bi mediated, and both sides took a step back, so that the situation did not further deteriorate.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the resentment between Jardine and Su Cheng would be difficult to quell.

"Mr. Newbigging, you suddenly contacted me. Is there anything you need my assistance with?" Su Cheng asked directly and politely.

"Mr. Su, are you available now? I have some important and necessary matters that I hope to discuss with you in person," Newbigging did not directly reveal his intention, but said this.

"Of course, I am available. I am now in my personal office on the top floor of the Su's Group Building. Just come directly. Mention my name to the front desk, and I will arrange for someone to guide you up," Su Cheng did not refuse Newbigging's request to visit.

The Hong Kong business community is not large, and everyone often sees each other, so there is really no need to make the relationship too tense.

"Okay, Mr. Su, please wait for me for half an hour. I will be there in half an hour," Newbigging said directly.

The distance between Jardine's headquarters and the Su's Group Building is only a few hundred meters away. The entire Central area is also quite compact, almost gathering the headquarters of all the top companies in Hong Kong.

Such a geographical advantage makes communication and cooperation between industries more convenient.

The half-hour mentioned by Newbigging may only be a cautious consideration in terms of business etiquette. In fact, given his consistent style, he may arrive sooner.

"Okay, I'll wait for you," Su Cheng said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng called the front desk of the building and told them that Mr. Newbigging, the Jardine's taipan, would be coming later, and to bring him up to the office when he arrived.

Sure enough, after only about twenty minutes, Su Cheng caught sight of Newbigging's familiar figure walking towards him through the office's floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Mr. Newbigging, please sit down," Su Cheng said, making a gesture of invitation, and led Newbigging to sit down by the sofa.

This was Newbigging's first time entering Su Cheng's private office. He looked around, quite curious about the layout and atmosphere here.

The world map and group photo in the reception room caught his attention, but he did not go over to look at them, but sat down facing Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, I apologize for the intrusion. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me," Newbigging said with a humble attitude.

"Not at all, not at all. I am honored by Mr. Newbigging's visit. Actually, I was just idle. I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with you for a long time. I miss you very much. Jardine Group must be thriving and developing quite smoothly recently, right?" Su Cheng responded with a smile.

Both of them were speaking polite words, but in reality, everyone was very clear in their hearts.

"To be honest, Mr. Su Cheng, I am here this time for the affairs of Jardine Group," Newbigging showed a rare wry smile at this moment.

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Newbigging has encountered some difficulties?" Su Cheng immediately became curious.

He had not paid much attention to Jardine Matheson, so he did not know what had happened there.

After all, even when facing HSBC Group in Hong Kong today, he did not feel any pressure at all. (End of this chapter)
