We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

After the Spring Festival, the festive atmosphere in Hong Kong gradually faded away. People returned to their daily routines, students went back to school, and office workers threw themselves back into their busy and orderly work.

And Suzhou, in this tranquility and order, gradually regained the normalcy and peace of life.

On the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month, Su Cheng made a special trip to Macau.

Upon arrival, he first paid a courtesy visit to the Governor of Macau. After a brief exchange, he hurried to the Su's Welfare Institute.

There, with warmth in his heart, he wished every orphan a Happy New Year and personally handed out red envelopes filled with love, allowing the hundreds of orphans in the welfare institute to feel the warmth and care of the festival.

Compared to Macau, Hong Kong has more orphans, with a population nearly twenty times that of Macau.

However, there are more wealthy people here, and the economy is better developed. In addition to Su's Orphanage, other wealthy people also build orphanages for fame.

After wishing the orphans in Macau a Happy New Year, Su Cheng arrived at the Taipa Island Industrial Park.

This place has already completely taken shape. The formation of the Taipa Island Industrial Park has increased Macau's economy more than tenfold compared to three years ago. It can be said that Macau's economy has been doubling or tripling every year.

Originally, Macau's economic volume was small, but with Su Cheng's large-scale investment, the development here has suddenly taken off.

At the same time, it has also attracted many Hong Kong businessmen to invest, such as Cheung Kong Holdings, New World Development, Swire Group, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, etc. After these companies entered Macau, they also invested heavily.

Now, the land prices in downtown Macau are already several times higher than they were three years ago, basically no different from downtown Hong Kong.

In fact, because Macau is too small, it is possible that land prices will be more expensive than downtown Hong Kong in the future.

Macau's economy, in just three years, has already undergone earth-shattering changes. Many dilapidated factories and warehouses have been demolished, and the Macau Peninsula is now full of high-rise buildings.

The Macau economy in this era is already on a completely different level compared to the Macau economy of the same era in Su Cheng's previous life.

And the countless pieces of land and properties that Su Cheng had hoarded before, especially the reclaimed area between Taipa Island and Coloane Island, have also increased in price many times over.

Many people feel that all of this return is deserved, after all, Su Cheng has single-handedly driven the economic development of the entire Macau.

Otherwise, if the original Macau economy were maintained, no one would know how long it would take to develop, and even the wealthy people in Macau would continue to leave, either to develop in Hong Kong or to immigrate to Europe and the United States.

But now, it is completely different. Locals no longer want to leave, and talents from other regions are constantly flowing into Macau.

All of this is thanks to Su Cheng, the chief designer of Macau's economy.

After staying in Macau for three days, Su Cheng left Macau and returned to Hong Kong by private yacht.

In Hong Kong, there is another important matter waiting for him.

That is, the 556.6-meter-high "world's tallest building" in Central, the Hong Kong World Trade Center, has finally been completed after more than four years of construction!

Originally, Su Cheng planned to name it Su's Building, but ultimately chose to give up. This name was too tacky and petty.

After everyone provided their opinions, it was finally decided that the building would be named Hong Kong World Trade Center.

This way, it would be more domineering and more representative of Hong Kong.

The building is finally scheduled to officially open on March 1st, with a total of 128 floors. The 556.6-meter-high Hong Kong World Trade Center will be mainly for rent.

After all, most of Su Cheng's companies have already moved to the Tseung Kwan O headquarters base.

Of course, some special businesses still need to stay in the city center, such as the financial industry.

After the Hong Kong World Trade Center is completed, these financial, legal, and trade businesses will all be located in the Hong Kong World Trade Center.

For this reason, the 110th floor and above will be reserved for Su Cheng's own companies, with half of the upper floors being used to establish the high-end hotel KK Hotel.

This five-star luxury hotel under the Su's Group, which has already accumulated experience in Los Angeles, has already reserved the location for the Hong Kong World Trade Center hotel.

As for the high-end hotel TOT Hotel under Hutchison Whampoa, it has already been put into operation in Harbour City.

In addition, Su Cheng also reserved a private reception room and office for himself on the top floor.

Originally, his private reception room was in the original Federal Building, which later became the Su's Group Building.

However, that building is less than 100 meters high, which is obviously no longer suitable for Su Cheng's status.

Therefore, after the Hong Kong World Trade Center is completed, the reception room and private office will naturally be moved here.

Of course, there is also his private reception room at the Tseung Kwan O headquarters.

Usually, he spends more time in Tseung Kwan O, after all, that is the territory that truly belongs to him.

The towering Hong Kong World Trade Center stands on the shore of Victoria Harbour. Since its construction, it has become the most anticipated building in Hong Kong.

Many people watched it rise from the ground, and some media even reported on it every once in a while, hoping that it could be built as soon as possible.

The world's tallest building, this is an incredible honor, which can make Hong Kong's urban status in the international arena more solid.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, March 1st, which many people had been looking forward to for a long time, arrived.

This day is the completion day of the Hong Kong World Trade Center.

The Hong Kong World Trade Center stands proudly against the skyline, like a futuristic tower embedded in the heart of the bustling city, proclaiming its glorious launch as the world's tallest building.

On this day, the world's attention is focused on this magnificent building, witnessing an unprecedented grand celebration together.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrates the mist, gently stroking the building's streamlined, shimmering silver glass curtain wall, as if it were nature's most gentle coronation ceremony.

Around the building, there is already a surge of people. Politicians, business elites, media reporters, and citizens full of longing from all over the world, dressed in盛装, holding flowers and彩旗, gather into a colorful ocean, looking forward to this historic moment together.

In Hong Kong, dozens of prominent figures from the political and business circles, such as Hong Kong Governor Youde, Wharf chairman Bao Yugang, HSBC Bank taipan Shen Bi, and Cheung Kong Holdings chairman Li Ka-shing, were not invited by Su Cheng, but they all actively attended the inauguration ceremony of the building as guests.

At the same time, Su Cheng's capable lieutenants, such as Zhang Qizheng of Tianyuan Investment Company, Wang Hai of Tianhe Bodyguard Company, Ouyang Hai of Kerry Bank, Yang Chaoye of Su's Group, Wei Li of Hutchison Whampoa, Ma Shiming of Hong Kong Electric, Chen Zhibai of Oriental Press Group, Landon Moore of Hutchison Telecom, Daniel Harry of Dalli Logistics, Liang Shuyi of Jiahe Film Group, and Zhang Zhongmou of Sky穹 Semiconductor, were also present.

As the melodious music began, the inauguration ceremony slowly unfolded.

On the stage, the host introduced the importance of this building in an impassioned tone, stating that it not only represented a new height in human engineering technology but also symbolized the city's prosperity and future development.

Subsequently, a series of heavyweight guests took the stage to deliver speeches.

Among them were government leaders who expressed high praise and expectations for the completion of the Hong Kong World Trade Center.

There were also internationally renowned architects who shared the concepts and inspirations behind the design.

And there were business leaders who spoke enthusiastically about how this landmark building would promote regional economic take-off and industrial upgrading.

Every word was full of praise for this building.

On-site, Jiahe TV station followed the entire process, broadcasting this grand event live.

The world's tallest building, in everyone's eyes, such a tall building would only appear in big cities in the beautiful country such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

But now, this honor has been snatched by Hong Kong.

The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

With a height of 556.6 meters, in this era, it can definitely dominate as the tallest building for many years.

At the main entrance of the building, 88 golden cannons were fired in unison, wishing the building a future of abundant wealth and blessings.

After the inauguration ceremony, Su Cheng led a group of big shots and took the elevator straight to the top floor of the building.

Above the 128th floor, everyone attended Su Cheng's reception room.

Here, the 360-degree panoramic glass windows offer a panoramic view of the entire city center of Hong Kong.

The weather today is very good. From here, you can even faintly see Pengcheng, dozens of kilometers away to the north; to the south, you can clearly see the Deep Water Bay villa area, Lamma Island, and other places.

Everyone stood here, overlooking the entire Hong Kong, and couldn't help but feel envious of Su Cheng for owning such a building.

Many of the people here, and the companies behind them, have the strength to build the world's tallest building, but having it is one thing, and being willing to build it is another.

After all, this is an investment of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. In this era, tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars is already a terrifying amount of money, which will affect the development of the company.

But tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars is nothing to Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, thank you for allowing Hong Kong to once again be at the forefront of the world and making our Hong Kong more well-known!" Governor Youde said sincerely.

The world's tallest building can indeed bring greater influence to this city.

Just like in Su Cheng's previous life, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, made Dubai more famous after its completion, and the impact it brought was immeasurable.

After the inauguration ceremony, news about this building spread rapidly.

Major media around the world, such as the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, ANSA News Agency, BBC Television, NBC Television, ABC Television, CNN, etc., all reported on this newly born world's tallest building with great fanfare.

This is enough to represent the city's landmark building in Hong Kong. From now on, Hong Kong's landmark building will also become this building.

Afterwards, Hong Kong Customs was surprised to find that the number of people traveling to Hong Kong continued to increase.

Many people, after arriving in Hong Kong, went to the Hong Kong World Trade Center Building to take photos and check in as soon as possible.

This building attracts tourists from all over the world.

Moreover, most of the tourists from all over the world who can travel to Hong Kong are rich people. After these people arrive in Hong Kong, they choose to stay at the KK Hotel as soon as possible.

In addition, many leaders and elites from all over the world who come to Hong Kong on business also choose to live in the KK Hotel.

After all, the accommodation of these people can be reimbursed. Even if the KK attractions are very expensive, the service and location are worth the price.

Therefore, since its opening, the occupancy rate of Hong Kong KK Hotel has been very high, often exceeding 90%, making Hong Kong KK Hotel a very profitable company.

Sometimes, it can even reach an occupancy rate of 99%. Even Yang Chaoye, the president of Su's Group, was very surprised by the terrifying occupancy rate.

Because Su's Group also has other hotels besides the KK Hotel, it is not surprising that so many subsidiaries have expanded their business to the hotel industry.

So he is also very knowledgeable about the hotel industry.

Maintaining data above 90% is so terrifying, and this is still a luxury hotel, not an ordinary hotel that attracts customers with economic benefits.

In addition, after the building was launched, the Hong Kong World Trade Center Building was leased to the public. As a result, in less than a month, except for the self-reserved offices, the rest had actually been leased out.

Moreover, the funds of the Hong Kong World Trade Center Building are much higher than those nearby, but they are all rented down in a rush.

Financial companies, financial companies, trading companies, etc., as well as the headquarters of the world's top 500 in Hong Kong and even Asia, have moved to this building to work.

After all, having an office in this building is also a symbol of strength.

The Hong Kong headquarters or Asian headquarters of those giant companies in Europe and the United States have basically moved here to work.

The owners of other buildings can't do anything about this situation, after all, they can't do anything if others find other places to rent.

Fortunately, the office area of the Hong Kong World Trade Center Building is limited after all. After it is fully rented, other companies have no place to rent here.

This also made the property owners whose occupancy rates were severely lost deeply relieved.

The towering Hong Kong World Trade Center Building is not only a glorious symbol of Su Cheng's economic strength and prominent position, but also a monument, highlighting his leading position in the global business landscape.

Since the completion of the building, Su Cheng has often come here, sitting leisurely on the sofa in his spacious, comfortable, and open-view reception room.

From here, he can easily overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Hong Kong. The feeling of being high above and in control is undoubtedly refreshing and extremely enjoyable.

Yes, that feeling is indeed unspeakably pleasant and satisfying.
