We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

This was Su Cheng's first time stepping onto this land since his transmigration. In his previous life, he had come here often and even worked here.

In his previous life, this place was prosperous and flourishing, but now it was a remote and impoverished area. The contrast was simply too great.

Upon entering Peng City, someone was already waiting for them.

After Su Cheng and Bao Ship King got out of the car to greet them, they returned to their respective vehicles.

Next, the other party would lead the way in their car, followed closely by Su Cheng and Bao Ship King's cars.

The current Peng City was vastly different from Su Cheng's memory. Forget skyscrapers, there wasn't even a decent high-rise building along the way.

"The prosperity here in thirty or forty years won't be any less than that of Hong Kong. Do you believe it?" Su Cheng asked Yang Chaoye, who was beside him, with a smile, looking at the sparsely populated area outside.

"That's impossible!" After hearing Su Cheng's words and looking at the surroundings, Yang Chaoye thought of Hong Kong's prosperity and said directly.

No one would have thought that this land would become one of the fastest-growing places in the world in the future.

In just thirty or forty years, Peng City's economy soared, even surpassing Hong Kong's GDP in just over thirty years!

This is a city of miracles.

However, Peng City hasn't even established a special economic zone this year. No one can imagine how it will develop in a few decades.

"China is an oriental dragon currently in slumber. When it awakens, the whole world will tremble!" Su Cheng didn't argue with Yang Chaoye about this issue but instead said this meaningful sentence.

If Su Cheng hadn't transmigrated and known what would happen here, he wouldn't have believed it either.

Therefore, there was no point in arguing about this issue.

The roads in this era were not very good. Many sections were even muddy, so it took more than three hours to travel the hundred-plus kilometers from Peng City to Yang City.

However, because there were very few cars in this era, Su Cheng rarely saw sedans along the way.

Instead, there were more tractors, small trucks, and buses.

Upon entering Yang City, the number of cars gradually increased. This was the capital of Yue Province and was still very prosperous.

However, compared to Hong Kong, the main difference was the lack of so many skyscrapers. Also, the people here dressed more plainly, unlike the fashionable people in Hong Kong.

Along the way, besides cars, many people were riding Forever and Phoenix brand bicycles. At the traffic lights, the army of bicycles was very impressive.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng and the others' cars slowly stopped at the foot of a skyscraper.

The building was surprisingly tall. Su Cheng didn't count carefully, but it was probably more than thirty stories high, which was a rare sight even in Hong Kong.

Su Cheng got out of the car and looked up, only to see a sign with six characters written on the top of the building: "Yang City Baiyun Hotel."

At the same time, at the main entrance of the building, an old man with white hair wearing a simple Zhongshan suit had a red carpet laid out from the entrance to Su Cheng and the others' cars.

Behind the old man were more than a dozen officials who looked like they held high positions.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Bao, this is our top leader." The person in charge from the relevant department who had led them all the way from Peng City to Yang City whispered to Su Cheng and Bao Ship King.

Su Cheng nodded and strode towards the old man.

Bao Ship King did the same.

The old man also walked down from the main entrance with a group of officials, his face full of smiles, to meet Su Cheng and the others.

Su Cheng didn't feel nervous. He had seen many big scenes over the years, which had taught him that as long as a person had confidence, they wouldn't be nervous.

"Hello, sir, I am Su Cheng."

"I am Bao Yugang."

Su Cheng and Bao Ship King shook hands with the old man one after the other.

After shaking hands with the old man, the two continued to shake hands with the officials behind him, with someone introducing each of their identities.

They were all heavyweight figures in the province!

"It's an honor!" Su Cheng nodded.

"Let's go inside. You've all come a long way from Hong Kong and must be tired from the journey. You must be hungry too. We've prepared food and drinks. Please follow me," the old man said to Su Cheng and Bao Ship King, looking at his watch.

After exchanging a few pleasantries in the lobby, they walked into the hotel.

"This building is called Yang City Baiyun Hotel. It's 120 meters tall and has 33 floors above ground. It's also the tallest building in our mainland. When Yang City Baiyun Hotel was completed in 1976, it attracted a large number of people from the architectural circles in the capital, Shanghai, and other places to visit. Seeing this "tallest building" in the mainland, they were so envious! Many architects from the capital and Shanghai even applied to work in Yue Province!" The old man introduced enthusiastically as he walked, full of pride at the end.

There were also buildings over 120 meters high in Hong Kong. The current tallest building in Hong Kong, Connaught Centre, even reached 178.5 meters with 52 floors, making it the tallest building in Asia. However, there were actually not many buildings over 120 meters high, only a few. Therefore, this building was indeed something that Yang City could be proud of, and it was the landmark building of Yang City in this era.

A group of people took the elevator to the top floor of Yang City Baiyun Hotel, the 33rd floor.

Here, it was also the most upscale restaurant in the building. The entire restaurant had a 360-degree view of Yang City.

While waiting for the food to be served, Su Cheng and the others looked at the scenery of Yang City outside the glass windows with great interest.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Bao, what do you think of our Yang City?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Yang City is a good city. Although it has a certain gap compared to international metropolises, I can see that the people of Yang City are a very motivated group. The future development prospects here are immeasurable. This is a treasure land!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

He didn't mean to flatter. The future here was indeed very impressive, forming the four major first-tier cities in China together with the capital, Shanghai, and Peng City. This was enough to show how powerful Yang City would be in the future!

"Yang City has obvious advantages. After all, it is a large city with more than 2,000 years of continuous prosperity. It has only been in decline for a period of time. As long as it is given time, it will be able to develop sooner or later," Bao Ship King also said, expressing his thoughts.

"As the local official here, I also hope so. However, I still hope that you can invest more. We need development, and foreign investment is essential. You are all Chinese, and we share the same origin. With your help, it will be easier for us to develop. Relying solely on our own closed-door efforts will not keep up with the pace of international development," the old man said with emotion.
