We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

#494 - Chief Economic Designer

Inside the Governor's office, Su Cheng and Governor Li Andao sat facing each other on sofas.

At this moment, a foreign young lady walked in, likely a secretary or staff member of the Governor's office.

"Mr. Su, feel free to order anything you'd like to drink," Li Andao asked.

"A cup of hot coffee, please, with a little milk and white sugar," Su Cheng thought for a moment and said.

He wasn't used to overly bitter coffee; adding a bit of sugar made it acceptable.

"I didn't expect Mr. Su's habits to be the same as mine, what a coincidence! I'll have a cup of hot coffee with milk and sugar as well," Governor Li Andao laughed.

Originally, Su Cheng preferred tea, whether black or green, but there were no tea sets on the coffee table, presumably because the foreign governor didn't have the habit of drinking tea.

Tea is best enjoyed freshly brewed, but since the environment wasn't conducive, Su Cheng decided to follow local customs and simply ordered a coffee.

Soon, the staff member brought in two cups of hot coffee.

Su Cheng took a small sip; the taste wasn't bad, likely because the governor frequently drank coffee, so the staff member's coffee-making skills were quite good.

"I'm honored that Governor invited me to Macao. May I ask what this is about?" Su Cheng thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

Although he roughly guessed that the Macao Governor invited him over to attract investment.

However, he felt it was better to ask directly; Su Cheng didn't like making small talk.

Li Andao was visibly surprised by Su Cheng's reaction.

However, considering Su Cheng's status as the world's richest man, Li Andao seemed to suddenly understand.

Li Andao figured that Su Cheng, with so many industries under his name, must be extremely busy and that it must have been difficult for him to find the time to come to Macao.

Thinking of this, Li Andao felt that Su Cheng, as the world's richest man, was giving him a lot of face by taking the time to come despite his busy schedule.

Li Andao's goodwill towards Su Cheng immediately increased significantly.

Su Cheng, of course, didn't know the complexity of Li Andao's thoughts at this moment, and casually picked up the coffee cup next to him, taking another small sip.

"Mr. Su, welcome to Macao. Mr. Wesley and Mr. Landon Moore arrived in Macao a few days ago and discussed some investment intentions with me in detail. I, on behalf of the Governor's office, extend a warm welcome. I wonder what Mr. Su's views are on the current Macao?" Li Andao asked with a smile.

"Macao, I've actually been here many times. My view of this place is naturally very affectionate, because there are many Chinese people here like me. However, in my opinion, compared to Hong Kong, Macao is far behind!" Su Cheng said very directly.

After Su Cheng traveled to Hong Kong, he had visited Macao quite a few times in the past five years, after all, the two places were so close and easy to travel between.

The current Macao is not as developed as it would be in later generations. Although the gambling industry is relatively developed, most of the foreign customers are still from Hong Kong.

The Macao of later generations is different; its largest source of customers is its motherland behind it, with a population of over a billion.

This naturally easily creates an economically developed and extremely prosperous Macao.

However, my ability is ultimately limited. Affected by population and area, Macao's development speed is not very fast. My invitation to Mr. Su this time, in addition to thanking Mr. Su for investing in Macao, also includes a request."

Li Andao didn't rush to say what it was at the end, but paused and looked at Su Cheng.

"Oh? Governor, please feel free to say what your request is. I will try my best to help if I can," Su Cheng asked in surprise.

"On behalf of the Macao Governor's Office, I sincerely invite Mr. Su Cheng to serve as our Macao's Chief Economic Designer. Although I only have a few months left in my term in Macao, if Mr. Su Cheng agrees, I will definitely do my best to pave the way for Su Cheng. In my opinion, only Mr. Su Cheng can change Macao's current economic situation!" Li Andao stood up from his seat, bowed slightly to Su Cheng, and said very sincerely.

Macao's Chief Economic Designer?

Su Cheng was very surprised.

Originally, he thought that the Macao Governor invited him over only for more investment, but he didn't expect there to be such an idea.

The latest novels are at 69 Book Bar!

To have a title of Macao's Chief Economic Designer, frankly speaking, means that the Governor's Office hopes that Su Cheng can help Macao with economic planning and design in order to change Macao's existing economic structure.

With Su Cheng's current status in the business world, he is indeed qualified for this, especially since he also has a very awesome investment ability. Macao is just a small place. If the role of the city is changed to Hong Kong, Su Cheng may not have this ability, but Macao is not difficult for him.

In fact, as long as Macao's economic situation develops steadily and waits for its return to the motherland, relying on the terrifying population market, it can easily reach a very developed level.

However, Li Andao doesn't know this. He only understands the current Macao and cannot understand how prosperous and developed the future Macao, one of the four major international gambling cities, will be.

In recent years, the people of Macao have been uneasy. Because Macao has the same problems as Hong Kong, with an uncertain future for Macao, local Chinese businessmen have moved to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dongying to invest. Therefore, Macao's economy has been stagnant and depressed.

Li Andao wants to bring Su Cheng over, in fact, there is also a very important reason, hoping that bringing Su Cheng in can give the people of Macao a psychology of no longer worrying, so that the people of Macao have confidence in the future of Macao!

After all, Su Cheng is the world's richest man. If he holds a position in Macao, wouldn't that mean that Su Cheng, the world's richest man, is optimistic about Macao?

It can not only bring investment from Su Cheng, but also reassure the local people of Macao. This is simply a win-win solution.

Now, there is only one problem in front of Li Andao.

That is, he doesn't know if Su Cheng is willing to agree.

After all, this matter doesn't seem to bring any benefits to Su Cheng.

Macao's market is really too small, and there are much fewer opportunities for development, unlike Hong Kong, where there are opportunities for development everywhere.
