We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Before the newspapers and media could even report it, television and radio stations, with their advantage of instant broadcasting, quickly disseminated the news of Su Cheng's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group.

Su Cheng's re-acquisition of a British-funded major enterprise was definitely good news for the average Hong Kong citizen.

Many people went to the corner store specifically to buy beer, engaging in lively discussions with friends, celebrating, rejoicing, and feeling proud.

Perhaps Su Cheng becoming the controlling shareholder of Hong Kong Electric Group had no direct impact on them, but it instilled a sense of national pride.

Just like in Su Cheng's previous life.

When IG won the League of Legends World Championship;

When Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club won the AFC Champions League;

When, led by Yao Ming, the men's basketball team advanced to the top 8 in the Olympics;

When China's space station was successfully put into use;

Even if these events were completely unrelated to ordinary people, they could still generate a strong sense of national pride in their hearts!

At this moment, Su Cheng had already returned home.

After dinner, he turned on the television, and Jade Television was broadcasting the interview from Su Cheng's press conference earlier that day.

"Wow, Young Master, you're on TV again," Ah Mei said with a smile, covering her sensual lips.

"This television station belongs to Young Master, isn't it normal for Young Master to be on TV? But Young Master looks so handsome on TV, with such an air of leadership," Ah Mei chimed in from the side.

They were not from Hong Kong, and they had only been in Hong Kong for a short time, so they didn't know much about Hong Kong's businesses. Therefore, Su Cheng's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group was not particularly surprising to them.

Instead, Su Cheng being on television was more novel to them.

"Your Young Master, me, being on TV is a common occurrence, nothing to be surprised about. After all, I'm a celebrity in Hong Kong and even the world," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Su Cheng's fame in Hong Kong was known to everyone from the elderly to three-year-olds.

Even worldwide, although Su Cheng had only been famous for a short time, if he continued to hold the title of world's richest man, one day even the poorest and most remote countries and regions would know the name Su Cheng.

Just like Li Ka-shing, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, one was the richest Chinese person, one was the richest person in the world, and one was a recognized stock god. Even if Su Cheng lived in a remote mountain village in his previous life, he still knew them from a young age.

That was the influence brought by the world's top businessmen.

And Su Cheng was now a world-class businessman.

After all, as a super-rich man who had been reported by mainstream media around the world, and even recognized as the world's richest man, if such a person didn't belong to the world's top businessmen, then no one else would deserve the title.

Time passed, and another night went by, arriving on November 21st.

Today was an ordinary day.

But for the Hong Kong media, it was an extraordinary day.

All the newspapers were vying to report the news of Su Cheng's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group.

In particular, the evaluations of Su Cheng by various big shots, and their views on him becoming the taipan of Hong Kong Electric Group, were all published in the mainstream newspapers, causing excited Hong Kong people to buy this newspaper and then that newspaper.

Afterwards, according to statistics from relevant institutions, on this day, the total sales of newspapers in Hong Kong were more than three times higher than before.

The reason, of course, was that many people bought multiple copies of newspapers, leading to a surge in sales of newspapers under various media outlets.

Many media outlets even sold out of newspapers.

This kind of grand occasion was rare in Hong Kong.

This shows how great Su Cheng's influence was in Hong Kong after he acquired Hong Kong Electric Group.

From Hutchison Whampoa, to Wharf, to Hong Kong Electric Group.

British-funded enterprises were falling one step at a time, while Chinese-funded consortia were rising one step at a time, making the Chinese in Hong Kong feel inspired.

There were not many top British-funded enterprises in Hong Kong, and there were even fewer top Chinese-funded enterprises.

Therefore, on the British-funded enterprise side, when the Chinese took down one, it meant that the power of the British-funded consortium further declined, while the power of the Chinese-funded consortium further increased.

This was why Su Cheng's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa and becoming the first Chinese taipan to acquire a British-funded foreign firm caused such a big stir.

Subsequently, when Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, it was also the same, but the popularity at that time was naturally not as shocking as when Su Cheng acquired Hutchison Whampoa.

And now, this was the third top British-funded enterprise to be acquired by the Chinese.

In this way, it meant that British-funded enterprises were further weakened.

This time, it was not just as simple as Chinese capital acquiring British capital, but also had Su Cheng, a top rich man, generating hype, so the media frantically hyped it up.

For the media, traffic is greater than everything.

At this time, only about a month had passed since Su Cheng was reported by the world media.

However, there was one newspaper that expressed concern about Su Cheng's acquisition of Hong Kong Electric Group.

This newspaper was Hong Kong's largest English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post.

The South China Morning Post is currently Hong Kong's largest, most influential, and longest-running English-language newspaper, and is the favorite newspaper of foreigners living in Hong Kong.

This newspaper used the most detailed data to show the comparison between British-funded enterprises and Chinese-funded enterprises in Hong Kong.

From the initial lead, to being chased by Chinese-funded enterprises, to now almost catching up, from these data, it can be seen that the rise of Chinese-funded enterprises and the decline of British-funded enterprises are clear at a glance.

Although the strength of British-funded enterprises still leads the entire Hong Kong today, the strength of Chinese-funded consortia is not much different from that of British-funded consortia.

According to this trend, in a few more years, Chinese-funded consortia will be able to completely surpass British-funded consortia, thereby dominating Hong Kong's economy.

This is an incredible thing for a colony.

Therefore, the South China Morning Post also mentioned a new term in the newspaper: the threat of Chinese-funded consortia.

The article pointed out that if British-funded consortia continued like this, they would eventually be surpassed by Chinese-funded consortia, and even be driven out of Hong Kong by Chinese-funded consortia.

Putting down the newspaper, Su Cheng smiled slightly, and he didn't take the South China Morning Post's report to heart at all.

In Hong Kong, top British bosses would probably not openly deal with him.

As for those ordinary British-funded consortia below, they want to deal with Su Cheng?

Not qualified enough!

"It's another beautiful morning!" Looking at the clear sky outside, Su Cheng smiled slightly, feeling particularly good.

"Young Master, you're in a really good mood today," Ah Jiao said from the side.
