We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#499 - End of visit
After chatting with Mr. He for nearly an hour, Su Cheng checked the time and saw that it was already three in the afternoon, so he decided to head back.
"Mr. He, let's wrap it up here for today. It's getting late, and I have quite a few things to take care of back in Hong Kong," Su Cheng said, standing up.
"Mr. Su, won't you stay and enjoy the downstairs area?" Mr. He said with a smile.
"No, thank you. I'm not interested in that sort of thing," Su Cheng said, shaking his head.
"Alright, then let me see you off, Mr. Su," Mr. He said, nodding.
Descending to the entertainment area on the ground floor, Su Cheng quickly spotted Ah Jiao and Ah Mei watching others play, so he walked over.
"It's time to go back," Su Cheng reminded them.
Only then did Ah Jiao and Ah Mei notice that their young master had arrived beside them at some point. They hurriedly nodded and followed Su Cheng.
"Safe travels, Mr. Su," Mr. He said, bidding farewell to Su Cheng at the door.
"Didn't you two play anything?" Su Cheng asked curiously, sitting in the car.
"Young Master, we were just watching. We didn't play," Ah Jiao said.
"Yes, Young Master, we're not very interested in these things," Ah Mei added.
"My grandfather told me since I was little that gambling is something you must never touch!" Ah Jiao continued.
"My great-grandfather gambled so much that he ended up in debt, which led to my great-grandmother committing suicide by jumping into the river. So my dad also taught me from a young age that gambling harms both yourself and others," Ah Mei said, recounting her family history.
"It's very good that you both recognize this. There's a saying that a little gambling is a pastime, but heavy gambling is harmful. Gamblers often fall into the desire to gamble and can't extricate themselves. This strong desire can lead them to neglect other important things, including work, study, family, and social relationships. Many people have lost their families and been separated from their wives and children because of gambling. Although I can't control you, I hope you can stay away from gambling and, ideally, never touch it in your lives," Su Cheng said earnestly.
"Understood, Young Master!"
"Young Master, I will never touch that stuff in my life!"
Before returning to Hong Kong, Su Cheng went to the branch office of Hutchison Telecom in Macao.
Originally, Hutchison Telecom didn't have a branch office in Macao because it didn't have much business there. Its telephone business was mainly limited to Hong Kong Island.
Now, with the growth and expansion of the mobile business, Li Wei and Landon Muir have begun to expand their business to Macao.
This Hutchison Telecom Macao branch was established just a few days ago after Li Wei and the others visited the Governor of Macao, Li Andao.
Upon arriving, Su Cheng found that the employees of this branch office were all transferred from Hong Kong, mainly consisting of surveying engineers and signal tower installation engineers.
After all, if Hutchison Telecom wants to sell Yun Sheng S1 mobile phones in Macao, it must have good cellular mobile signal coverage.
The area of Macao now is much smaller than the Macao of Su Cheng's later years, because many places that would become land in the future are still the sea now.
Only after Macao's land reclamation project accelerates will Macao's land area continue to expand.
Therefore, the area of Macao's city center in this era is not very large, and mobile signal coverage is much simpler compared to Hong Kong.
Su Cheng's arrival was warmly welcomed by the employees.
They didn't expect that coming to Macao on a business trip would allow them to see the big boss in person and receive his words of encouragement.
Arriving at the pier, they happened to see a hydrofoil boat not far away about to leave the port. It could be seen that the hydrofoil boat was already full of people, and it seemed that they were all tourists who had come to Macao to play and were preparing to return to Hong Kong.
Su Cheng and his party returned to their yacht and slowly sailed away from the pier.
Looking back at this small city that seemed ordinary from a distance, Su Cheng prepared to take a nap.
"Wow, this boat is going so fast!"
"Yeah, this boat is so strange, it's like it's flying on the water."
Ah Jiao and Ah Mei looked at the rapidly departing hydrofoil boat as if they had seen something new.
They didn't notice it when they came, perhaps because they didn't encounter a scheduled trip.
"A hydrofoil boat is a high-speed boat. It has struts at the bottom of the hull and is equipped with hydrofoils. As the boat's speed gradually increases, the buoyancy provided by the hydrofoils will lift the hull out of the water, also known as hydrofoil flight or hydrofoil sailing, thereby greatly reducing water resistance to increase sailing speed."
Su Cheng, who had been closing his eyes, heard Ah Jiao and Ah Mei discussing, so he opened his eyes, looked at the hydrofoil passenger ship that had already run far away, and smiled as he began to explain it to them.
The hydrofoil passenger ship has definitely made the greatest contribution to Macao's achievements today. Without the hydrofoil boat, it would take a long time and be troublesome for people from Hong Kong to come to Macao to play, but with the hydrofoil boat, everything has changed.
This shows that Mr. He does have a unique and forward-looking vision, and it's no wonder he can earn so much.
According to the data, as early as 1964, more than ten years ago, Mr. He purchased hydrofoil boats from abroad and launched hydrofoil passenger services on the sea between Hong Kong and Macao.
Subsequently, due to the operation of hydrofoil boats, the number of tourists in Macao began to increase greatly.
This is also one of the reasons for the rapid development of Macao's entertainment industry.
More than an hour later, Su Cheng and the others finally returned to the Central Ferry Pier.
Then, through a special passage, they arrived at the internal parking lot of the pier and took a car directly back to the Su family villa.
Back home, Su Cheng summarized this trip to Macao.
Because the current Governor is about to leave office, Su Cheng did not actually obtain any practical benefits from the Governor's Palace in Macao today for the sake of caution.
However, the conversation with Mr. He was still quite successful. With the help of this Macao tycoon, Su Cheng's industries in Macao will basically not be disrupted by anyone in the future.
Macao's current economic situation is still relatively average. After the new Governor takes office, if Su Cheng plans to invest on a large scale, he will definitely be valued by the new Governor of Macao.
Macao is such a small place. If you invest several billion in it to develop the economy, it will definitely be able to bring about earth-shaking changes in Macao.
Several billion in this era is not the same as several billion in later generations. If calculated according to ordinary prices, it has appreciated at least ten times.
