We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Singapore has been able to develop so quickly precisely because of enthusiastic foreign investors like you. On behalf of the Singaporean government, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for Mr. Su's contributions." Mr. Li raised a cup of tea, offering a toast to Su Cheng from afar.

Su Cheng also raised a cup of tea in return. In this world, the most important thing is mutual respect.

Of course, if there's a significant disparity in status, such formalities become unnecessary.

"Mr. Li, benefiting from my very optimistic view of Singapore's future prospects, I plan to build the tallest building in Singapore, and even the surrounding countries, in the central district. I hope it will become a landmark building for Singapore, thereby increasing Singapore's international influence. I hope to receive your support. In addition, I also plan to continue to invest heavily in manufacturing, the petroleum industry, and other sectors here, to help Singapore develop its economy as quickly as possible." Since Su Cheng knew the other party's purpose, he spoke words that pleased them.

The commerce here will be no less prosperous than Hong Kong in the future, so no matter how much Su Cheng invests in Singapore, he will only make huge profits later on.

Therefore, regarding the issue of investing in Singapore, he did not hesitate at all. He even brought it up proactively, without them having to ask.

This way, the friendship between the two sides would become even deeper.

"If Mr. Su has such ideas, we will naturally give our full support. In that case, I will take the initiative to select a piece of land at the southernmost tip of Singapore and sell it to you at a price lower than the market price. In addition, I will also appropriately reduce taxes on your investments in this area. As for the safety of your investments in Singapore, please rest assured that we will absolutely not allow anything similar to what happened in Dongying to occur!" Sure enough, Mr. Li was very happy and directly promised Su Cheng many benefits.

Su Cheng knew that the southernmost tip of Singapore would become Singapore's central business district in the future. In the future, many famous business buildings and landmark buildings would be built there, gathering the headquarters of companies in finance, real estate, business services, and other industries, making it the most prosperous and core area of Singapore.

At this time, their willingness to provide him with a piece of land there was naturally the best possible outcome.

In fact, even if they didn't take the initiative to say this, Su Cheng's property development in Singapore in the future would mainly focus on this area.

Although Singapore's development was not yet as good as Hong Kong's, this was the best time for Su Cheng to make his move.

Currently, land prices in Singapore are lower than in downtown Hong Kong, but future prices will be no less than those in Hong Kong, or even surpass them, so entering the market at this time will only allow him to make huge profits in the future.

"In that case, I thank you. I will send someone to connect with you, and I look forward to a pleasant cooperation between us," Su Cheng said with a smile.

Afterwards, Su Cheng and a group of bigwigs discussed various issues in the reception hall.

Regarding Singapore's economic development model, they even sought advice from Su Cheng.

Because in their view, Su Cheng was able to become the world's richest man and possessed a natural talent in the economic field that no one could match. There was nothing shameful in seeking advice from him, even though Su Cheng was only 23 years old. Age was not the main factor in measuring a person's ability.

Moreover, they also knew that Su Cheng was currently serving as the chief economic designer of Haojing.

Some council members even suggested that Su Cheng also serve as the chief economic designer of Singapore, but Su Cheng refused this suggestion in order to be responsible.

Although he was very clear that once he became the chief economic designer of Singapore, he could use his identity to obtain huge benefits here.

However, Singapore is different from Haojing. Haojing is relatively small in terms of population, area, and economic volume, and he can still cope with it.

Singapore, on the other hand, is much stronger than Haojing in terms of population, area, and economy.

If he served as the chief economic designer of Singapore, he would definitely need to put in a lot of effort, which was not the life he wanted.

The other party hoped that Su Cheng could take on this position, naturally not just to give Su Cheng a title, but to have him make real contributions.

In addition, they also invited Su Cheng to join Singaporean citizenship, but Su Cheng still refused. For him, having the household registration of Hong Kong and Haojing was enough.

Despite this, Su Cheng also provided these Singaporean bigwigs with many development suggestions based on the information he obtained from Xiao Ai, which greatly shocked them. Many people even took out paper and pens and immediately wrote down some of the key points that Su Cheng said.

Their attitude towards Su Cheng also became more and more respectful.

A dozen people chatted from 3:00 PM in the afternoon until 6:00 PM in the evening.

Saying it was a chat, in reality, most of the time, they were asking for advice, and Su Cheng was answering.

Time passed quickly in this question-and-answer format.

In the evening, Singapore specially held a state banquet for Su Cheng.

Compared to Dongying's state banquet, Su Cheng preferred the cuisine of Singapore's state banquet.

After all, this is a Chinese country, and their dishes were very much to Su Cheng's taste.

Another state banquet lasted for two hours.

Just as Su Cheng was saying goodbye to them and preparing to leave, he was stopped by Mr. Li.

"Mr. Su, please stay for a moment. We have specially prepared a medal for Mr. Su. The Singaporean media have already arrived, and we specially want them to witness this moment," Mr. Li said with a smile.

"Oh? A medal?" Su Cheng said with some surprise.

What kind of medal?

He is not a Singaporean, so it stands to reason that he cannot obtain a Singaporean medal.

"Mr. Su will know in a moment. Now, please come with us to the auditorium," Mr. Li said with a hearty laugh.

Su Cheng nodded, not feeling troubled by the secrecy.

Others awarding him a medal was a recognition of him, which was a good thing, and there was nothing unacceptable about it.

Sure enough, many media reporters had already arrived in this auditorium, even the reporter from the "Oriental Daily" stationed in Singapore had come.

As soon as Su Cheng and the others entered, the reporters stood up one after another.

At this time, everyone realized that Su Cheng had actually come to Singapore.

Before this, they had no idea about this.

Because, after Su Cheng came to Singapore, apart from meeting with Melis in the villa, he also quietly inspected his industries in Singapore. He did not reveal the news of his arrival in Singapore at all.

As the host, Mr. Li directly walked onto the podium and said to everyone: "Today, we are very happy to have invited Mr. Su Cheng. Here, I would like to announce a piece of news to everyone. We will award Mr. Su the 'Honorary Citizen of Singapore' medal to commend Mr. Su for his important contributions to Singapore."

This medal was actually decided temporarily.

Originally, they planned to try and see if they could bring Su Cheng to Singapore. Once they could bring him over, Singapore would be rich.

Unfortunately, Su Cheng refused.

Since this was the case, they could only award Su Cheng the Honorary Citizen Medal, so that Su Cheng's relationship with Singapore would be closer.

Hearing Mr. Li's speech, the entire auditorium suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, which gradually stopped after a minute or two.
