We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#255 - Next stop, California!
The ribbon-cutting ceremony, popular worldwide, did not actually originate in China but in the United States.
In 1912, a department store in a small town in the United States was about to open. The owner, following local custom, hung a ribbon across the entrance, awaiting the opening.
Unexpectedly, the owner's ten-year-old daughter, while playing outside the store with her dog, accidentally broke the ribbon. Even more unexpectedly, this small 'accident' brought huge benefits. People mistakenly thought the store was open and rushed in to buy goods, resulting in a prosperous opening and booming business.
When the owner's second branch was about to open, he recalled this scene and repeated the process, having his daughter intentionally break the ribbon again, which once again brought in wealth.
This opening story quickly spread, and everyone felt that breaking the ribbon during the opening was a good omen, so they eagerly imitated it.
Thus, the ribbon-cutting ceremony became a custom and spread throughout the world.
As the birthplace of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the United States naturally takes it very seriously, inviting social celebrities to cut the ribbon as proof of a company's strength when opening.
And here at the scene, even the Mayor of New York, the head of the Rockefeller family, the top financial group in the United States, and the President of New York University personally came to serve as guests, enough to prove the strength behind the Oracle brand experience store.
This was just the opening of a store, not the opening of a large company!
Moreover, many media reporters were also present.
These were not invited by Yang Chaoye; they came on their own initiative.
As the president of the Su Corporation, Yang Chaoye took to the stage and announced several things.
First, to prevent accidents, the experience store would implement traffic control, allowing entry in a queue format.
Second, all products in the experience store, except for Oracle computers, would be discounted by 10% for the first three days of opening.
Third, Oracle computers would be available for pre-order at all Oracle brand experience stores worldwide, requiring a 50% deposit, with delivery starting on November 1st, and customers would be notified to pick up their orders in the order they were placed.
… …
Su Cheng looked at Yang Chaoye on the stage, full of vigor, and nodded secretly. Judging from the situation at the scene, this opening ceremony was very successful.
To prevent accidents, in addition to the hundred or so police officers, Yang Chaoye also specially hired a hundred security guards, all tall and strong men, who looked very intimidating.
Therefore, safety was guaranteed, and anyone wanting to cause trouble would have to consider their own capabilities.
This was the Rockefeller Center, property of the Rockefeller family. Even underground forces had to give the Rockefeller family some face and would not cause trouble here.
Moreover, the current head of the Rockefeller family had personally come to the scene, which added even more confidence.
Although it was a bit like borrowing power, it did not prevent it from being intimidating.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended smoothly, and Yang Chaoye led the Mayor of New York, the President of New York University, and the head of the Rockefeller family on a tour of the experience store.
Only after these big shots had finished their visit and left safely would the experience store be officially opened to the public.
Su Cheng did not join in the fun; he took his bodyguards to a nearby rooftop cafe, watching the scene from a high vantage point through the glass window, leisurely drinking coffee.
The ultimate beneficiary of this prosperous scene below was naturally him, the behind-the-scenes boss.
From morning to noon, it was very lively below.
With security maintaining order, a long line quickly formed outside the store, snaking from the Rockefeller Center to the Empire State Building like a hungry snake.
Su Cheng returned to the hotel around noon and asked his subordinates to buy him a ticket for the six o'clock flight from New York to San Francisco.
Next stop, California!
There was nothing else to do in New York.
The original plan to make more money in the stock market was also stopped due to changes in the stock market.
Anyway, he didn't lack money to spend now, so he wasn't disappointed.
There was also the matter of asking Yang Chaoye to get him a private jet.
This matter could be left to Yang Chaoye to handle.
Because even if he bought a private jet, Su Cheng would mostly leave it to his key subordinates like Yang Chaoye, Zhang Qizheng, and Wei Li to use. As for himself, he rarely went on business trips and spent most of his time in Hong Kong.
Last time, Su Cheng led Zhang Qizheng and others to earn $228.6 million from those oil listed companies. This money was enough for him to spend freely for a while.
Converted to Hong Kong dollars, this money was almost 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.
By the time he had spent all this money, the oil side would also be able to return the funds.
Moreover, 1978 was also coming to an end, and the affiliated companies would also conduct financial annual report summaries at the beginning of next year.
By then, he could also withdraw the money earned by these companies, and his cash flow would be even more enormous.
Today, not only did the experience store in New York open, but the other nine experience stores in other locations also opened on the same day, officially opening for business.
The Oracle brand experience store in Hong Kong is the largest in the world, with a total area of over one thousand square meters.
There was no way around it; Hong Kong was his own territory, and it couldn't be easier to have an experience store of over a thousand square meters!
The location of the Hong Kong brand experience store is in the most central location of Central, opposite Landmark.
Compared to the grand opening of the New York Oracle brand experience store, the Hong Kong experience store was at least several times grander.
Although this store was managed by Su Corporation, Yang Chaoye was not in Hong Kong, so Wei Li was responsible for hosting the opening of the store.
Anyway, the Oracle brand experience store was beneficial to both companies.
Only three heavyweight guests came to the New York Oracle brand experience store.
But more than a dozen came to the Hong Kong Oracle brand experience store!
Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose, Shipping King, Sir Michael Sandberg, Kwok Tak-seng, Lee Shau-kee, etc. Basically, none of the invited guests refused to attend.
This was Su Cheng's current status.
The explosive popularity of Oracle computers around the world not only brought benefits to Su Cheng but also brought great fame to Hong Kong.
Therefore, even Murray MacLehose had to give Su Cheng face unless it involved certain sensitive matters.
At the same time, in addition to the New York Oracle brand experience store and the Hong Kong Oracle brand experience store, experience stores in 8 other cities, including London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, and Singapore, also opened today, officially opening for business.
