We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The Macau government's appointment of Su Cheng as the Chief Economic Designer of Macau quickly spread throughout Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other regions through major media outlets.

This news generated a significant response from the general public.

Hong Kong and Macau already had frequent interactions, so Su Cheng acquiring a position in Macau wasn't particularly unusual.

However, the title of Chief Economic Designer dazzled everyone.

This meant real power!

This was different from Su Cheng's KBE knighthood bestowed upon him by the Queen of England in Hong Kong. The KBE knighthood was merely an honorary title without any real power, considered only a form of honor in England.

The Chief Economic Designer of Macau, on the other hand, was a position with real authority to determine many of Macau's economic development strategies. This position had never existed before, further demonstrating how much Macau valued Su Cheng!

In Hong Kong, citizens on the streets and in the alleys were discussing this animatedly.

For the citizens of Hong Kong, these honors that Su Cheng possessed were all very normal occurrences, basic operations!

After all, with Su Cheng's status, it would be abnormal if Macau didn't value him!

In Taiwan, this news also became a hot topic.

Some local media even suggested bringing Su Cheng to Taiwan and giving him an honorary position.

Because, in the eyes of many, Su Cheng, the world's richest man, although he had industries in Taiwan, they weren't that extensive.

Thirty years ago, Taiwan was very poor.

But now, both Taiwan and Hong Kong are among the Four Asian Tigers, with very rapid economic development.

Therefore, Taiwan's economy is now also very developed.

In manufacturing and exports, Taiwan also ranks among the top in Asia.

The government strongly supports the three sectors of electronics, machinery, and information industries.

Furthermore, Taiwan continues to expand exports and stimulate investment.

In order to survive in a relatively weak international economic environment and solve the problem of low investment intentions among local investors, the local government continues to increase infrastructure investment, drive private capital investment, and reduce the investment profit tax by 10%.

This move reduced the local people's willingness to save and alleviated inflationary pressures.

In addition, investments by foreigners and overseas Chinese in the area have been further relaxed, and the scope of investment continues to open.

It is not easy to go from barrenness to wealth, but it seems even more difficult to maintain the economy at a relatively high level.

And Taiwan has achieved both.

Therefore, the media's attention has been focused on why Su Cheng, the world's richest man, doesn't increase his investment in their region.

Su Cheng was completely unaware of this.

That night was the most comfortable night for Su Cheng since he arrived in Macau.

However, Su Cheng had already arranged with the Macau Governor's Office to sign relevant contract documents at two o'clock in the afternoon.

So, he also had his own important things to do today.

There were several contracts to be signed, the most important of which was to exempt Su Cheng's companies from taxes for five years.

This was also why Su Cheng was willing to invest so much money in Macau.

Five years would allow Su Cheng to save a lot of taxes.

These were all real money. Although he had a lot of money, he wouldn't refuse even more money.

What Su Cheng didn't expect was that A Jiao and A Mei not only came by themselves this time but also brought some servants and chefs.

Under the arrangement of A Jiao and A Mei, the kitchen prepared a sumptuous lunch for Su Cheng.

Although it was more convenient to eat outside, Su Cheng still preferred to eat at home.

After lunch, Su Cheng went out alone with his bodyguards.

As for A Jiao and A Mei, they could go out to play if they wanted. Su Cheng specially left two bodyguards for them.

After all, although the triads in Macau were not as powerful as those in Hong Kong, ordinary people would definitely not be able to deal with them.

Su Cheng did have a plan that, after Tianhe International Bodyguard Company opened a branch here, and after it was strong enough, it would be time to clean up the triads here.

A chaotic Macau is not conducive to Su Cheng's economic development.

A safe, harmonious, and prosperous Macau will be more attractive, thereby attracting more overseas tourists to Macau and boosting consumption here.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng met Izidy at the Governor's Office again.

Although the Governor knew that Su Cheng would definitely invest in Macau, he was not sure how much Su Cheng would invest.

However, after learning about the demolition matter that day, Izidy knew that Su Cheng's investment would definitely not be small.

After returning to meet with other government officials, everyone unanimously decided to fully support Su Cheng's urban renewal and demolition plan.

In their opinion, Macau's current urban appearance was indeed very poor.

If they could change it without their government having to pay, such a good thing was something they usually wouldn't even dare to think about, but now that there was an opportunity to realize it, they would naturally fully support it.

The signing went smoothly in the afternoon. Su Cheng signed a total of six contracts, all of which were contracts from the Macau government supporting Su Cheng's investment and construction, basically only benefiting Su Cheng without any disadvantages.

Although Macau promised so many benefits to Su Cheng, in fact, bringing Su Cheng, the world's richest man, over to engage in economic development was already the biggest success.

Although they may not receive taxes from Su Cheng for 5 years, as long as he develops Macau's economy, it will naturally attract more businessmen to invest.

Wouldn't the government have a lot of tax revenue at that time?

Moreover, if they relied on the government's financial capacity to change Macau's urban appearance, they didn't know when it would be possible.

In Izidy's view, if they followed the normal development trend, they wouldn't be able to see it before Macau was handed back to China!

But people like Su Cheng could easily change the current situation in Macau.

If it was a very large city, it might be difficult to rely on one person to make a big change.

However, Macau is different from other cities.

Macau is a small, pocket-sized city, and the area is not large to begin with.

Moreover, the current Macau is actually smaller than Su Cheng's impression of Macau in his previous life.

Because Macau has always been reclaiming land from the sea.

In the late 1970s, Macau's land reclamation area was not that large.

Therefore, relying on Su Cheng's strength alone was enough to change Macau's appearance, and it wouldn't take long.

In Su Cheng's view, two or three years was enough to completely change Macau.

At that time, a brand-new Macau would amaze the whole world.

"Governor, the contracts have been signed. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future!" After finishing, Su Cheng smiled and shook hands with Izidy.

"Chief Economic Designer, pleasant cooperation!" (End of this chapter)
