We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#150 - Meet the Governor again
After leaving Wei Li's office, Su Cheng first went to some key subsidiaries to inspect their operations, and then left the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building.
With Wei Li's management, the current Hutchison Whampoa Group is developing at an astonishing speed.
Although Su Cheng has not provided too much help to Hutchison Whampoa for the time being, judging from the financial reports of the past two months, Hutchison Whampoa has performed very well.
This is probably the advantage of not having a board of directors. Without too much interference, Wei Li can maximize his talents.
Of course, Wei Li takes the initiative to report many things to Su Cheng. Basically, Su Cheng will agree with Wei Li's decisions, instead of interfering with Hutchison Whampoa's management like Huifeng Bank did before.
For Su Cheng, a professional manager who can make money for him is a good professional manager.
Since he was already at the Hutchison Whampoa headquarters building, Su Cheng naturally took the opportunity to visit the Su's Group Building.
The two are both in Central, and the distance between them is not very far.
Su Cheng came to the president's office of Su's Group with ease, only to see Yang Chaoye seemed to be preparing to go out.
"Huh? Boss, you're here." Seeing Su Cheng, Yang Chaoye was a little surprised.
"Yes, I went to the Hutchison Whampoa Building and just came out of there, so I came over to take a look. Why, are you going out?" Su Cheng asked.
"Well, didn't you ask me to make an appointment with the Governor to talk about buying the land near Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay? So I made an appointment with the Governor to meet today. It's almost time, so I have to leave immediately," Yang Chaoye replied.
"Going to Government House? It just so happens that I also have something to talk to the Governor about. Let's go together," Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied.
When he was talking about the subway with Wei Li at the Hutchison Whampoa Building, he thought of a problem.
Since the early system line of the subway is being built to Kwun Tong, why not extend it a few more kilometers to Tseung Kwan O!
In fact, the straight-line distance between Kwun Tong and Tseung Kwan O is only three or four kilometers, but there is a not-so-high mountain blocking them. Anyway, the early system line of the subway also goes underground, passing through the mountain through a tunnel.
In the future, Tseung Kwan O will also have a subway, but that will not be opened until August 2002, more than 20 years later.
Although buses and ferries have been added, it is still very inconvenient to go to Tseung Kwan O.
If the subway is extended to Tseung Kwan O, it will greatly help his future tourism and resort business empire.
"Okay, then let's go together. With you going with me, Boss, we will be more confident in our business. If it's just me, I won't be so confident," Yang Chaoye said with a smile.
After all, Yang Chaoye is just a professional manager. Naturally, Murray MacLehose's attitude towards him cannot be the same as his attitude towards Su Cheng.
So if Su Cheng goes with him, Yang Chaoye will be more confident and have more certainty.
He just came over and had no time to sit down, and now he has to leave again.
But Su Cheng didn't care, where he goes is the same.
He called the driver and bodyguards, returned to the parking lot again, and then asked the driver to drive directly to Government House.
Yang Chaoye drove his company car to Government House by himself.
When he arrived at Government House, Yang Chaoye directly reported his reservation information, and the security of Government House let Su Cheng and Yang Chaoye in.
In fact, even if he didn't make an appointment in advance, if Su Cheng came over and told the security here, Murray MacLehose would meet Su Cheng.
Special treatment for special people. For people of Su Cheng's status, it is naturally not good to set thresholds for meetings.
"Governor, long time no see." Seeing Murray MacLehose, Su Cheng took the lead in speaking, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Murray MacLehose.
"Yes, it's been a long time. The last time I met Mr. Su, it should have been in Tuen Mun," Murray MacLehose said with a smile.
"Hello, Governor." Yang Chaoye also shook hands with Murray MacLehose to say hello.
"I received Mr. Yang's call for an appointment yesterday. I happened to be free this afternoon, so I chose to meet him today. I didn't expect Mr. Su to come too. Please come over here and sit down. I'll have someone bring tea in," Murray MacLehose beckoned.
Not long after the three of them sat down, a staff member came in with three cups of tea.
Su Cheng noticed that Murray MacLehose's tea had milk added.
But this is normal, this is their British habit.
Murray MacLehose also knew that Chinese people like pure tea without adding anything else, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"I wonder what the two of you are here for this time?" Murray MacLehose asked directly.
He was also very curious about what Su Cheng was here for this time.
Before, after he met and talked with Su Cheng in detail, he pulled Su Cheng's investment in Xiangjiang Oil.
The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shuba!
This time, could it be another investment?
After all, if there is nothing important, Su Cheng probably wouldn't come in person.
Just like the last time Su Cheng hoped that CTV could add a channel, he just made a phone call to Murray MacLehose.
Yang Chaoye was about to speak, but Su Cheng interrupted: "Let me speak."
Although Yang Chaoye didn't understand, wasn't it said that he would come over to talk to the Governor? But he also nodded.
"Governor, I would like to ask, is there any possibility of renting the entire Lamma Island?" Su Cheng asked.
Hong Kong cannot buy islands, but it can lease them from the government, with a maximum term of 40 years.
"Oh? What do you want to do with the entire Lamma Island?" Murray MacLehose was a little surprised.
Lamma Island is the third largest island in Hong Kong. Although its area cannot be compared with Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island at all, its area also reaches nearly 14 square kilometers, which is almost half the size of Macau.
"Lamma Island has a very good location. It is located alone in the ocean, but it is not far from Hong Kong Island. The scenery on the island is very beautiful, so I want to build Lamma Island into an international tourism and resort island," Su Cheng explained.
In fact, after he went to Tseung Kwan O, he no longer had the idea of leasing Lamma Island.
The vast majority of Lamma Island is rocky mountains, and the development is extremely difficult, especially the Lamma Island Power Station that is about to be built. It is even more impossible to build a tourist island there. Presumably the Governor's Office will not agree, after all, the power station is a project that benefits the people.
However, when negotiating with the Governor, if he refuses on the previous matters, the subsequent matters should be easier to discuss.
After all, Murray MacLehose also has to give Su Cheng face.
This is also the reason why Su Cheng first mentioned Lamma Island.
Anyway, if the Governor's Office agrees, he naturally doesn't care, just lease Lamma Island.
If they don't agree, then choose Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula!
Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula are very poor and remote places in Hong Kong at present. Su Cheng believes that Murray MacLehose will most likely not refuse to develop these places for Hong Kong.
