We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Su Cheng wasn't considering the layout of Pengcheng, or even the entire Pearl River Delta, for the time being, as there was no rush.

After returning to the pier, Su Cheng bid farewell to Li Yihui, then returned to his car and instructed the driver to head back to the White Plus Road villa.

Time quickly arrived at December 25th.

Today was an extremely ordinary day for the Chinese.

However, as a city that combined Chinese and Western cultures, Hong Kong was very lively on the streets.

It was Christmas again.

Su Cheng didn't particularly enjoy this holiday, but Christmas was a statutory holiday in Hong Kong, so as a well-known businessman, Su Cheng was invited to the Government House to attend the Christmas banquet.

Originally, it was customary to bring a female companion, but neither Zhong Chuhong nor Guan Jiaohui were suitable for public appearances, so Su Cheng simply invited Ma Shiming to go to the Government House together.

The reason for inviting Ma Shiming was to allow him to get to know other big shots.

People like Wei Li and Yang Chaoye were already big shots themselves, so there was no need for Su Cheng to introduce them, and the Government House might have even invited them.

After all, both the Su's Group and Hutchison Whampoa were now famous large enterprises in Hong Kong, and it was normal for them to be invited as the helmsmen of these companies.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Su Cheng arrived outside the Government House with Ma Shiming.

By this time, the square outside the Government House was already filled with various luxury cars.

There were more than a dozen Rolls-Royces alone.

Hong Kong has no shortage of anything, especially wealthy people!

Su Cheng's license plate was extremely conspicuous, and when his vehicle arrived outside the Government House, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Clearly, MacLehose had invited many people to tonight's Christmas dinner.

These people weren't just from the business world, but also from the political world, foreign consulates, academia, the entertainment industry, and so on.

Under the guidance of the Government House staff, Su Cheng and Ma Shiming quickly arrived at the Government House's auditorium.

As for the bodyguards, they were waiting outside the Government House.

"Mr. Su, welcome." Su Cheng's arrival was clearly notified to MacLehose, who hurried in from outside the auditorium and shook hands with Su Cheng with a smile.

"Governor MacLehose, hello," Su Cheng responded politely.

"If the hospitality is lacking, please forgive me," MacLehose said with a smile.

Clearly, after so many years in Hong Kong, MacLehose truly had a relatively deep understanding of Chinese culture.

"Governor, you still need to receive other guests, don't worry about me, I'm quite familiar with the Government House," Su Cheng said with a laugh.

"Then please excuse me," MacLehose nodded. Many guests had come today, and he naturally couldn't keep entertaining Su Cheng.

"Boss, you're here too." Yang Chaoye saw Su Cheng from afar and walked over.

Beside him was Wei Li of Hutchison Whampoa.

Su Cheng nodded to them.

Wei Li looked at Ma Shiming in surprise, not expecting Su Cheng to personally bring him to the Government House, which showed that the boss really valued Ma Shiming.

According to the invitation letter for the dinner, each invited guest could bring one person.

Basically, everyone either brought their partner, their juniors, or simply came alone.

It was rare for someone like Su Cheng to bring a subordinate.

"Mr. Wei Li, Mr. Yang, take Mr. Ma to meet the big shots," Su Cheng said to the two.

"Okay, leave it to us," Yang Chaoye said with a smile and a nod.

As for Su Cheng, he had already turned his attention to another group.

Not far away, Pao Yue-kong, Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau-kee, Fok Ying-tung, Henry Cheng and others were standing in a circle, chatting.

On the other side, British big shots such as Beauvoit, Newbigging, and Sze-yuen Chung were also in a circle, chatting happily.

Su Cheng walked directly towards Pao Yue-kong's group, and at the same time, everyone looked at Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, you've finally arrived, we were just talking about you," Pao Yue-kong said to Su Cheng with a smile.

Among these Chinese big shots, Su Cheng's relationship with Pao Yue-kong was relatively good, as for the others, there was very little contact.

"Hello, seniors in the business world," Su Cheng nodded to Pao Yue-kong and then greeted everyone modestly.

After all, he was also a member of the Chinese capital, and compared to British capital, he naturally preferred to be closer to Chinese consortia.

"Don't mention it, in front of Mr. Su, we dare not call ourselves seniors, let's communicate as equals," Li Ka-shing said with a smile from the side.

Due to Su Cheng's interception, Li Ka-shing's achievements in this era were already difficult to compare with those of Li Ka-shing in another world.

Like Hutchison Whampoa and Hongkong Electric Holdings, if Su Cheng hadn't appeared, these would have been acquired by Li Ka-shing in the end.

However, in this world, everything had changed.

And Li Ka-shing, because he had lost these opportunities to turn himself around, it was difficult for him to become Li Ka-shing or Li Ban-cheng.

At least, with Su Cheng's appearance, it was basically impossible for Li Ka-shing to become the richest man in Hong Kong or even the richest man in Asia.

However, Li Ka-shing naturally didn't know all of this, and at this time, he wanted to have a good relationship with Su Cheng, hoping to have business cooperation in the future.

The gap between Li Ka-shing and Su Cheng was simply too great now.

If Pao Yue-kong, Fok Ying-tung, etc. were top Hong Kong tycoons, then Li Ka-shing was at most a second-tier tycoon.

Therefore, his status in this circle was one level lower than Pao Yue-kong, Fok Ying-tung, Henry Cheng, etc.

"Mr. Li, I heard that your Cheung Kong Holdings has been developing quite well recently, we can have a chance to cooperate," Su Cheng said with a smile.

In fact, he had never paid attention to Cheung Kong Holdings at all, these were just impressions from his previous life.

"I didn't expect Mr. Su to know about our Cheung Kong Holdings, I will definitely find Mr. Su to chat when I have the chance," Li Ka-shing was somewhat flattered.

Li Ka-shing's abilities were certainly there, otherwise he wouldn't have been the richest Chinese man for more than ten years in his previous life.

Su Cheng smiled and continued to greet the others.

"Mr. Su, speaking of cooperation, I have a piece of land in Central that I plan to develop and build a building over 200 meters high, but I'm currently having some financial difficulties, I wonder if Mr. Su is interested?" Fok Ying-tung asked with a smile from the side.

Fok Ying-tung was now the chairman of the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association, and his prestige in the Hong Kong real estate industry was very high.

However, a building over 200 meters high would definitely require a very high investment, and many consortia chose to cooperate with others.

It was normal for Fok Ying-tung to seek cooperation with Su Cheng, after all, everyone knew that Su Cheng had plenty of funds, and it wouldn't be a problem to cooperate with him.
