We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

After saying goodbye to people like Cherie Chung, Gillian Chung, and Amy Yip, Su Cheng went directly to the Hutchison Whampoa Plaza office.

There was still about half an hour before the official opening ceremony, so there was no rush.

Upon arriving at the office, the receptionist said they were all in the reception room, so Su Cheng went straight over.

Walking into the reception room, Su Cheng found Wei Li and Wen Yu were already there.

Not only that, but also Yang Chaoye, McLeish, Ma Shiming, Li Yihui, Zhang Zhongmou, Liang Shuyi, Zhang Qizheng and other key subordinates of Su Cheng had almost all arrived.

On such an important day, as heads of brother companies, these people naturally should come.

"Good morning, Boss."

"Hello, Boss."

"Boss, you're finally here, we've been waiting for you."

Greetings entered Su Cheng's ears one after another.

Su Cheng smiled and greeted them all individually.

"How are the preparations going?" Su Cheng asked Wen Yu.

As the general manager of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza, it was better for Su Cheng to ask him than to ask Wei Li.

For this official opening ceremony, Su Cheng did not interfere in anything, and he didn't even ask Wei Li, Wen Yu and other senior executives of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza how they planned the opening ceremony in advance.

Therefore, Su Cheng at this time did not know how they had prepared for this opening ceremony.

"Everything is ready. This time, we have invited a full 56 of Hong Kong's most popular stars. These stars and artists almost cover the entire top-tier and first-tier stars of Hong Kong, and there are quite a few second-tier ones as well. I just received a report from my subordinates that all the invited celebrity guests have already arrived.

At the same time, we have also prepared very cost-effective discounts and various lucky draws, coupons, and so on.

After the trial operation some time ago, we also learned many lessons and learned many experiences that we had never considered before.

For safety, we not only pulled a security team of 1,000 people from Tianyuan Bodyguard Company to be responsible for today's security, but also applied for help from the Kowloon Tong Police Station. The Kowloon Police Station also gave us a lot of face and sent dozens of armed police officers over. Our security preparations are very thorough.

In short, this official opening is definitely full of sincerity. Although today is Monday, the subway station also happens to be opening today, and with so many stars and artists in attendance, and our publicity in place, there will definitely be many fans who want to see their idols in person, so we are very well prepared for today's opening."

Wen Yu quickly and simply explained their preparations.

"Didn't you invite any business or political bigwigs over? If you invite them, they should all give me face," Su Cheng asked in surprise.

Business bigwigs naturally referred to people like Sir Yue-Kong Pao and Y. K. Pao.

As for political bigwigs, in addition to Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose, there were also the directors of the Executive Council and Legislative Council, the heads of various departments, and the secretaries of various departments, etc.

"Boss, we considered this. Our Hutchison Whampoa Plaza is a commercial place, mainly to attract traffic. In comparison, as long as we invite major celebrities and artists, we will be able to attract many citizens, and that will be enough.

As for business and political bigwigs, their role in our company is actually not that big, but in order to deter the surrounding gangs, I also invited Mr. Han Yili, the Commissioner of Police. As for other bigwigs, after discussion, we decided not to invite them.

Currently, Mr. Han Yili has not yet arrived, but he had previously promised that he would be on time for the official opening ceremony. With the character of these officials, they should arrive just in time.

In addition, we originally planned to invite Mr. MacLehose, but later we thought that Mr. MacLehose should be hosting the subway opening ceremony today, so we didn't specifically bother him."

Wen Yu quickly gave the answer.

Su Cheng nodded. Indeed, what Wen Yu said made sense.

For the opening ceremony of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza, ordinary citizens were not coming for the political and business bigwigs. In this regard, the appeal of these bigwigs was not as great as that of the stars.

Therefore, instead of spending favors to invite these political and business bigwigs over, it was better to only invite popular stars.

After all, these stars, except for a small number who were not contracted artists of Jiahe Film Group, were basically his own people.

With Su Cheng's influence in Hong Kong, as long as he opened his mouth, it was estimated that no one would refuse.

As for Han Yili, the Commissioner of Police, Su Cheng also knew him and had met him several times.

This was a big shot in the Hong Kong Police Force, commonly known as the "top cop."

Don't think that this name sounds like a Chinese name, in fact, Han Yili is a genuine Englishman.

Many British people in Hong Kong have a down-to-earth Chinese name, and Han Yili is like that.

Like Ma Shiming, Wei Li, etc., these sound like Chinese names, but they are all genuine Englishmen, just with a Chinese name here.

During this period, important positions in Hong Kong were basically held by the British, and rarely by Chinese people.

"Fortunately, it's all within expectations. I have already arranged the work of each person in charge in advance. Once the internal parking spaces are full, arrange other vehicles to park in the nearby open space. The internal parking spaces here plus the temporary parking spaces in the nearby open space are still enough, even if four or five thousand vehicles come, there will be no problem."

After reading it, Wen Yu said from the side.

Four or five thousand vehicles, of course, was impossible.

At present, the number of cars in Hong Kong is only two or three hundred thousand, and there are not too many private cars.

Private cars in Hong Kong can only be owned by wealthy people. Citizens in the middle and lower classes are lucky to have a motorcycle.

They choose public transportation more often, such as buses, ferries, taxis, and the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

Of course, starting today, a new one has been added, and that is the subway!

If four or five thousand vehicles really came, that would be terrible.

That's equivalent to four or five thousand high-income families.

Su Cheng nodded. A little over a hundred meters away was the Kowloon Tong subway station.

At this time, people were constantly coming out of the Kowloon Tong subway station, and their destination after they came out was basically Hutchison Whampoa Plaza. Obviously, these people were coming for Hutchison Whampoa Plaza.

And not far from the Kowloon Tong subway station is the Hutchison Whampoa Plaza bus terminus. At this time, seven or eight buses were already parked at the terminus, and passengers were constantly getting off each bus.

On the side of the road, taxis were also carrying passengers, and these passengers were basically coming from the city center in the south.

From these scenes, it can be seen that there must be a lot of people coming to today's opening ceremony.
