We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Perhaps because it wasn't yet connected to the Macau Peninsula and Taipa Island by land transport, Coloane Island had a much lower housing density.

Here, it was mostly vegetable fields, farms, fishing villages, and small workshops. Some places were simply untouched wilderness, which was quite surprising in Macau, where land was already scarce.

Su Cheng took a stroll around Coloane Island and quickly lost interest, deciding to head back to Taipa Island.

For Coloane Island to develop, it had to be connected to Taipa Island by land. Otherwise, the transportation of construction materials would be a problem. Everything would have to rely on shipping, which was inconvenient and costly, making development difficult.

In the future, as Macau continued to reclaim land, Coloane Island would gradually connect with Taipa Island, eventually forming a larger island.

He had no intention of taking on the land reclamation project himself. It was a lengthy and costly endeavor, so let the Macau government foot the bill.

Soon, they returned to Taipa Island by private speedboat, where Su Cheng took another look at the concentrated area of real estate development.

Su Cheng noticed that the occupancy rate here was quite high. In most of the completed residential areas, judging from the clothes drying on the balconies, the occupancy rate was at least eighty percent.

Su Cheng knew that in the future, many entertainment venues would be built on Taipa Island, such as the Wynn Palace and the Venetian Macao, and it would gradually become prosperous.

Of course, these were things that would happen in the future. Currently, Taipa Island was just a developing suburb of Macau.

After wandering around for a while, they took a car back to the Macau Peninsula.

Through today's inspection, Su Cheng had a general understanding of Macau, at least he wasn't completely ignorant.

Back on the Macau Peninsula, Su Cheng checked the time. It was almost six o'clock in the evening.

Although Macau wasn't large, walking around still took quite a bit of time.

So, Su Cheng directly asked Ao Haihua to take him to the Jardine Matheson real estate branch.

Jardine Matheson was a very impressive listed company in Hong Kong, with a market value of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Since they were entering the real estate industry in Macau, with their influence and connections, they naturally wouldn't fare too poorly.

Su Cheng wouldn't be surprised if a deal could be reached. If not, he would look down on the strength of Jardine Matheson's Macau branch.

After all, the requirements Su Cheng had put forward weren't very high.

A discount of just over 300,000 Macau patacas, which averaged to only a few tens of thousands of Macau patacas per villa for the six villas.

So, the store manager's only option was to gather all the employees, divide the work, and work together to close this big deal.

Seeing Su Cheng and the others, the store manager enthusiastically welcomed them into the negotiation room.

Because of the store manager's confidentiality, the other employees weren't told Su Cheng's true identity, leading them to be curious about who Su Cheng was, since they rarely saw someone so generous in their careers.

The store manager didn't let the other employees in, but closed the door after Su Cheng and the others entered.

"Mr. Su, we contacted all six homeowners this afternoon and, after difficult price negotiations, finally met your requirements. 3 million Macau patacas to purchase these six villas. Fortunately, they were all eager to sell, otherwise I might not have been able to complete the task you gave me.

I have already arranged for them to come over. Two of them have already gone abroad, and we are handling the entire transaction on their behalf, having signed agency contracts with us. The property ownership certificates are all here with us, so you can rest assured about the transaction. The other four homeowners are already on their way and should be here in less than ten minutes.

In addition, I have already made an appointment with an office at the Macau Housing Bureau. They will arrange for a staff member to work overtime for us until 8:00 PM."

As soon as Su Cheng sat down, the store manager couldn't wait to report to Su Cheng.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Su Cheng said with a smile.

An ordinary person might worry that there would be problems that would hinder the transaction, but Su Cheng wasn't afraid.

It was just a three million transaction. Jardine Matheson didn't have the guts to deceive Su Cheng. If such a thing really happened, Su Cheng could bring Jardine Matheson to bankruptcy.

Now, Su Cheng no longer regarded a small Jardine Matheson company as important. If he were facing Jardine Matheson Holdings, he would feel a little pressure, just a little.

"This is our job, it's not hard work," the store manager said hastily.

However, from his tired eyes, it could be seen that he had indeed worked hard today.

Negotiating with six homeowners wasn't that simple, after all, reducing the price was equivalent to asking these homeowners to cut off their own flesh.

Labor naturally has its rewards, and Su Cheng didn't owe him anything. These all needed to be paid for, so he didn't say much and just waited in the negotiation room.

While waiting, Su Cheng called General Manager Zheng of Heji Property Company. This General Manager Zheng was also concurrently the general manager of Su Cheng's newly established Tianqi Property Company.

The purpose of the call was naturally to have him send someone to take over these six villas tomorrow morning.

As expected, before long, the four homeowners arrived at the store one after another.

Everything had already been negotiated, so there was no need to discuss anything further. The next steps were nothing more than signing the property transaction contract, transferring money, and transferring ownership.

Su Cheng directly called the Bank of California to transfer money from his account to a Jardine Matheson company account provided by the store. Because the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars was slightly more valuable than Macau patacas, even after paying a 1.5% brokerage tax, it was still less than 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

Next was the transfer of ownership.

As for the handover between the agency and the homeowners, Su Cheng didn't need to worry about it.

After signing the contract, everyone, led by the store manager, came to the Macau Housing Bureau's office.

In this era, the procedures for transferring ownership were very simple. In less than ten minutes, Su Cheng held six Macau villa property ownership certificates.

Throughout the entire process, Ao Haihua followed, and could be considered a very competent Governor's Office staff member.

The house had been bought, but Su Cheng wouldn't be staying in these villas tonight, after all, they hadn't been cleaned up yet. After General Manager Zheng sent someone to help him clean them up, next time he came, he could stay in one of the villas.

"Mr. Ao Haihua, thank you for your hard work today," Su Cheng thanked Ao Haihua after coming out of the Housing Bureau office.

"Mr. Su, this is all I should do," Ao Haihua said quickly.

"Although it's work, you really helped me a lot. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner tonight, don't refuse!" Su Cheng laughed.
