We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The boat tycoon had been listening from the side. He was surprised to hear Yang Chaoye and Su Cheng express such confidence in the economic development of the mainland.

He was a patriotic Hong Kong businessman. Even if it meant not making money, he would still invest, it was just a matter of how much to invest.

In this era, not to mention the boat tycoon, even the old man wasn't sure if the mainland could truly develop in the future.

Therefore, the boat tycoon was genuinely surprised that Su Cheng, a world-renowned billionaire, had so much faith in the mainland's development prospects.

After finishing this topic, everyone began to speak freely, raising the questions in their minds.

Su Cheng also answered based on his own experience, earning warm applause from those present.

Everyone had a pleasant conversation.

The old man was also very satisfied with the answers from Su Cheng's side.

With the support of the Su's Group, Guangdong Province didn't have to worry about a lack of initial investment.

This symposium lasted for a full three hours before it ended.

By the time everyone came out of the conference hall, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Su Cheng and the boat tycoon once again had dinner with the old man and the others.

This inspection visit was considered to be over.

However, after finishing dinner, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. It was definitely unnecessary to return to Hong Kong at this time. It wasn't safe late at night, and the roads in this era didn't have streetlights.

After returning from the State Guesthouse, Su Cheng and the others returned to the Baiyun Hotel in Guangzhou again and stayed there for another night.

The boat tycoon was different from Su Cheng. He had a lot of work that he needed to handle personally, so he had to rush back tomorrow morning.

Although Su Cheng didn't have anything to do, he didn't want to bother them here for the time being, so he simply decided to go back together.

Therefore, after agreeing with the boat tycoon to depart for Hong Kong at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, Su Cheng went to rest early.

Nothing happened overnight. The moon set and the sun rose, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Today was already February 27th, and the first month of the lunar calendar had passed.

After Su Cheng and the others finished their buffet breakfast at the hotel, they took a car back to Hong Kong.

Before leaving, the head of the Investment Promotion Bureau came again to see them off.

Looking at the outline of the tall buildings in Guangzhou's urban area getting further and further away through the car window, Su Cheng sighed. The economy of this era was still very difficult!

"Director Yang, after the on-site inspection, what do you think of the investment environment here?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"From what I've learned about this place in the past two days, the most profound impression I have is that the people here are very simple and honest. Although their economic conditions are far inferior to those of Hong Kong citizens, the smiles I see on their faces are more numerous than those of people in developed countries. As for the investment environment, I naturally can't see anything at the moment, because there are too few private enterprises here, and the technology of state-owned enterprises is also somewhat backward. In addition, the conditions here are insufficient, and the things we produce don't have much of an international market here," Yang Chaoye said, sitting next to Su Cheng, after thinking for a while.

Su Cheng nodded and said with a smile, "I think the investment environment is very good. It is precisely because of the lack of private economy and backward technology that this is our opportunity. In the future, I believe the economy here will gradually rise, and then this will be a huge market, a huge market of one billion people. Even the Americas cannot do it, perhaps only the entire European market can compare.

Of course, this will definitely take a long time. It is almost impossible for us to rely on the mainland market to grow bigger and stronger in a short period of time. For the time being, we still have to rely on overseas markets, and this place will become our manufacturing base."

Just like when they came, it took a full five hours to go back.

Along the way, they didn't get out to eat anything, but only at the customs did they complete the customs formalities and change to a bodyguard driver to drive.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng and the others finally returned to the Su family villa on Barker Road.

Before returning, Su Cheng had already called the villa to arrange lunch.

Therefore, after returning, they were able to have lunch directly.

Yang Chaoye was also left to have lunch before being sent back.

This trip to Guangdong Province, although relatively rushed, didn't have too many arrangements, so Su Cheng and the others weren't too tired.

Nevertheless, Su Cheng didn't go out in the afternoon, which was also indirectly giving the bodyguards time to rest.

The bodyguards need to maintain a good physical condition in order to protect him properly, otherwise, if they are overworked, their reaction speed will slow down.

Reliving this trip to Guangzhou, Su Cheng had many feelings.

I wonder if it's possible to bring about China's economic status ahead of schedule?

The newest novels are at 69shu.com!

Don't look at Su Cheng now having only a few hundred billion in assets. In fact, such assets are enough to leverage the economic development of the entire mainland.

The current few hundred billion is enough to rival several thousand billion or even trillions in the next few decades.

Otherwise, how could Su Cheng be recognized as the world's richest man!

Even top companies like IBM have a market value of only about 30 billion US dollars.

Su Cheng's assets are even comparable to more than half of IBM's market value. This is still because Su's Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group are not currently listed.

If you really calculate it, Su Cheng's assets may not be worse than IBM's market value.

This is Su Cheng's confidence.

First, lay out the Pearl River Delta, then lay out the Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bay urban agglomeration. After developing to a certain level, you can lay out other important cities, even second- and third-tier cities.

Su Cheng knew that the future mainland market was a very large market.

If you don't take advantage of this market before it rises and quickly lay out, you won't be able to eat too much of this cake in the future.

What's more, the earlier you lay out, the lower the cost.

After Wei Li comes back, Su Cheng will also talk to him about this matter. At that time, he can let Yang Chaoye and him discuss the layout of the mainland together.

Although Hutchison Whampoa Group and Su's Group are two independent companies, everyone can also invest there together. Resource sharing is the hard truth.

After they plan the investment matters, Yang Chaoye can go to the mainland with Wei Li again for inspection. At that time, there is no need to go to Guangzhou, which is more than 100 kilometers away, just go to Pengcheng next to Hong Kong.

After all, the place for initial investment must be better to choose Pengcheng.

Pengcheng here is now like a small fishing village, more like a blank sheet of paper, which can be planned at will.

In addition, this place is closer to Hong Kong, and it is more convenient for Yang Chaoye and others to come and go.

As for Guangzhou, don't worry, it's okay to be a year and a half late. (End of this chapter)
