We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Governor MacLehose." Su Cheng's eyes lit up upon hearing MacLehose's words.

It seemed like there was a chance.

Hong Kong's land, no matter where it was, was extremely valuable to acquire now.

Regardless of whether it was the New Territories, Tai Po, Yuen Long, or Sha Tin, he would be willing even if they gave him a piece of land on Lantau Island.

After all, the Hong Kong government was selling off its land reserves bit by bit.

Even the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, didn't know what the future of Hong Kong would be, whether it would continue to be governed by the United Kingdom, or be returned to the North; all of this was still a mystery.

Therefore, the current Hong Kong government put up a lot of land for auction every year. What was the purpose? Naturally, it was for financial revenue.

And a large portion of this financial revenue, apart from the part used by Hong Kong, was consumed by the United Kingdom through various means.

There was no other way; Hong Kong was ultimately governed by the United Kingdom, and they had plenty of ways to take the financial revenue from here.

"I will inform the Lands Department and have them determine which piece of land can be sold to you as soon as possible. Mr. Su, please rest assured!" MacLehose continued with a smile.

In fact, MacLehose would be very supportive if Su Cheng developed the automobile industry in Hong Kong.

After all, the Hong Kong government didn't plan to particularly support the automobile industry, which meant that all taxes that should be paid had to be paid.

If Su Cheng's automobile company didn't develop, it wouldn't have much impact on their Governor's Office.

If it did develop, that would be even better, as it could continuously generate tax revenue for the Hong Kong government.

"Good, I'll await good news from the Lands Department." Su Cheng nodded.

Afterwards, the two discussed many things about Hong Kong, including the development of various industries, and so on.

Perhaps because Su Cheng's status was constantly rising, MacLehose's attitude towards Su Cheng was becoming more and more polite.

"By the way, Mr. Su, there is one more important matter I want to specifically discuss with you." MacLehose continued.

"Oh? Please speak, Governor." Su Cheng instantly became curious about what could be considered an important matter by MacLehose.

"Mr. Su, please wait a moment." After speaking, MacLehose stood up from the sofa and walked towards the bookshelf.

Subsequently, he took out something that looked like an envelope from the bookshelf.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed an envelope, and on the envelope was a British royal crest.

"Mr. Su, this was sent by the Royal Family for me to hand over to you. I just received it today and originally planned to deliver it to you personally, but since we both happened to be participating in the trial operation of the Revised Early System, I simply waited until the event was over to invite you to the Governor's Office and give you this envelope." MacLehose said, handing the envelope in his hand to Su Cheng.

Su Cheng accepted the envelope with both hands and said with a smile, "May I open it now and take a look?"

"Of course, it's for you."

So Su Cheng directly opened the envelope on the spot.

The content of the letter was actually very simple, nothing more than saying that Su Cheng had not officially visited the United Kingdom, and Her Majesty the Queen formally invited Su Cheng to visit the United Kingdom.

Indeed, although Su Cheng had been to the United Kingdom several times, those were all his own personal trips, and there had never been a visit in the true sense of the word.

Now, Su Cheng was an outstanding figure in the global business world, and it was not surprising that the British Royal Family invited him to visit the United Kingdom.

Previously, when Su Cheng received the KBE Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire medal from the Queen, Prince Charles had personally represented the British Royal Family to invite Su Cheng to visit the United Kingdom.

However, Su Cheng had not gone all this time.

Now, they were inviting Su Cheng again, and had even personally sent an invitation letter, which seemed to indicate that they very much hoped that Su Cheng would visit.

Of course, the invitation letter did not specify when Su Cheng should go to the United Kingdom, because how could such a thing restrict someone else's time? That would be devoid of sincerity.

"Governor, what is this from the Royal Family?" After reading the invitation letter, Su Cheng looked up at MacLehose.

With MacLehose's status, he must know something.

After all, MacLehose was the representative sent by the United Kingdom to Hong Kong.

"Mr. Su, as far as I know, this is purely an invitation promoted by the British Chamber of Commerce. The purpose is nothing more than for Mr. Su to go and interact with the elites of the British Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the Royal Family also hopes to do some charitable activities with Mr. Su, and I don't know about other things. Mr. Su will know if he goes. I don't know much." MacLehose explained slightly upon seeing Su Cheng's puzzled expression.

"Governor, let's end it here for today. I won't disturb you. Let's chat again when we have time." Looking at the time, Su Cheng stood up and said directly.

The two had already talked about almost everything. As the Governor of Hong Kong, his work schedule was very full, so Su Cheng didn't plan to continue disturbing MacLehose.

"I originally planned to keep Mr. Su for lunch at the Governor's Office, but since Mr. Su has other matters to attend to, I won't keep Mr. Su. The Governor's Office welcomes Mr. Su's arrival at any time." MacLehose stood up, shook hands with Su Cheng, and said with a smile.

Su Cheng looked at the time and didn't expect it to be almost 12:30 noon.

Coincidentally, he also planned to go to Hutchison Whampoa Centre, so he could also have lunch there.

He had not paid attention to the situation at Hutchison Whampoa Centre for a long time. Since Hutchison Whampoa Centre had gradually stabilized, Wei Li had not continued to report the situation of Hutchison Whampoa Centre to Su Cheng.

On October 1st, Hutchison Whampoa Centre would officially end its trial operation and usher in its official opening.

He didn't know what kind of changes had taken place in Hutchison Whampoa Centre now.

The trial operation had also been going on for some time. Although it was Hong Kong's first urban complex, it should have learned a lot of experience during this period to prepare for the official opening.

Today was September 20th, which was a Thursday.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be many people on weekdays.

As for what the situation was like, Su Cheng would only know after he went there.
