We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#505 - Departure to Guangdong Province
After a pleasant Saturday with Carman Kwan at home, Su Cheng had the driver take her home early Sunday morning.
Because today was the day he had arranged with Paoshun Wong to go to Guangdong Province.
After agreeing on the time that day, Su Cheng informed Mr. Fok of the matter, asking him to notify the relevant departments in Guangdong Province.
Then, Mr. Fok processed the customs clearance documents for Su Cheng.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Cheng received a call from Paoshun Wong, and they agreed to meet at the Lo Wu Control Point and then cross the border together.
This time, Su Cheng specifically brought Yang Zhaoye along.
In the future, when investing in the mainland, it would be impossible for Su Cheng to manage everything himself. When the time comes, investments would definitely be made in the name of the Su's Group, Hutchison Whampoa, and other companies. Bringing Yang Zhaoye, the top executive of the Su's Group, would allow him to understand the situation in the mainland in advance.
After all, Su Cheng knew that Yang Zhaoye also hadn't been there for many years and was unfamiliar with the situation there.
This time, receiving the other party's invitation was the best opportunity to understand the investment environment there.
From the Barker Road villa to the Lo Wu Control Point was a journey of about 50 kilometers. Although it didn't seem far, it actually crossed almost the entire north and south regions of Hong Kong.
After leaving the city, there were fewer and fewer cars on the road, but the number of trucks clearly increased, because the central Kowloon Peninsula concentrated many of Hong Kong's factory parks.
Passing through the long Lion Rock Tunnel, and passing through the Sha Tin New Town, there were many large and small factories along the way.
Passing through the Tolo Harbour Highway, and then passing through the Tai Po New Town, which was also under development, they finally entered the northernmost area of Hong Kong: the New Territories.
Su Cheng had never been to these places before, at most he had only been to Tuen Mun in western Hong Kong.
This time, he could be considered to have experienced the situation in most of Hong Kong.
Especially in the New Territories, there were fewer people, and it took a long time to see a village.
After all, Hong Kong in this era was not the Hong Kong before Su Cheng transmigrated, and the tolerance of the city center was not yet full. Naturally, places like this, which were tens of kilometers away from the city center and full of mountains, could not be developed very well.
The northern part of Hong Kong was almost continuous mountains, and the roads were built along the valleys, winding and almost without any straight roads.
Because of this, the northern region was a poor area in Hong Kong. The transportation here was inconvenient and difficult to develop. Many Hong Kong people had never even been to these places in their lives, because there was really nothing to see.
It was not easy to have some larger flat lands, and they would also be used to develop new towns, such as Fanling and Sheung Shui.
Along Fanling Highway, heading north, you could see that the Fanling area was also being developed into a new town.
However, the progress of development here was obviously much worse than that of Tuen Mun New Town.
Tuen Mun New Town, at least, already had a certain scale.
The new towns in the New Territories mostly only had a prototype. The roads were built, and most of the buildings were built along both sides of the road. There were not many streets, giving Su Cheng the feeling of the remote small towns he went to when he was a child in his previous life.
The rolling dust forced Su Cheng to close the opened car window.
"I didn't expect there to be such a backward place in Hong Kong," Yang Zhaoye couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, in Su Cheng's view, the development here was not too backward, but compared with the center of Hong Kong, because there was a clear contrast, it made Yang Zhaoye feel that it was too backward.
"No matter how backward it is, it still belongs to Hong Kong's territory. The center of Hong Kong will sooner or later develop to a bottleneck, develop to the point where there is no land to develop. When the time comes, these places will usher in their opportunity. In the future, these places will also be able to turn from ugly ducklings into phoenixes!" Su Cheng said with a smile.
This was the fate of the New Territories. No matter how mountainous and remote it was, it belonged to the jurisdiction of Hong Kong. With the support of Hong Kong, these places could also develop very well in the future.
"That's right, fate is such a mysterious thing. More than a hundred years ago, who would have thought that Hong Kong, this small fishing village, could develop into an international metropolis; America was also a wilderness before, who would have thought that after only a few hundred years of development, it would become one of the strongest countries in the world!" Yang Zhaoye very much agreed with Su Cheng's statement.
The two chatted all the way in the car, which wasn't boring at all.
This time, Su Cheng still brought 10 bodyguards and two cars, one was his Rolls-Royce, and the other was a Sprinter van, its advantage was that it could carry many people. The Sprinter van was in front, and the Rolls-Royce followed closely behind.
Both cars were bulletproof modified, although they couldn't drive at top speed, they at least had enough safety.
Moreover, this time going north, the security measures there were definitely done very well. Su Cheng bringing bodyguards was just for show. He didn't have any worries about his safety at all.
Now, what the mainland needs most is large investments to develop the local economy.
Su Cheng's visit was equivalent to a god of wealth, and of course, he would be treated politely and would not be allowed to be in any danger. Otherwise, if something happened to Su Cheng, where would other businessmen dare to go there to investigate and invest!
Unexpectedly, Paoshun Wong's car arrived first.
Su Cheng thought their car was already driving fast enough.
"Mr. Po, you came really fast, how long have you been here?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"Not long, only about ten minutes before you arrived. Let's go, let's go through the border crossing procedures first," Paoshun Wong said with a smile.
"Okay." Su Cheng nodded, and led all the bodyguards to follow.
The control point was very quiet. Apart from Su Cheng and others, there were not many other people crossing the border.
After all, there were not many people who could cross the border normally in this era. It was not something ordinary people could do to travel back and forth through normal channels.
Su Cheng and Paoshun Wong had very special identities, so they easily completed the customs clearance procedures.
Unlike Su Cheng who brought ten bodyguards, Paoshun Wong only brought two bodyguards, plus his son-in-law, a total of only four people.
However, Paoshun Wong had a lot of experience in going to the mainland, so naturally he was not as cautious as Su Cheng who was going there for the first time.
Moreover, although Su Cheng was not very worried about safety issues, he was already used to bringing these bodyguards when he went out.
It was not easy to transmigrate and become a superior person, he didn't want to accidentally die.
He hadn't been in this world for a long time, and he hadn't enjoyed it yet.
What's more, now that Su Cheng was the richest man in the world, he naturally hoped that he would live longer and longer.
After passing through the inspection station in Hong Kong, Su Cheng and others smoothly stepped into the land of the mainland, which was Shenzhen, one of the four famous first-tier cities in Su Cheng's previous life. (End of this chapter)
