We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#885 - Unexpected Visitors
"What do you guys think? Can today's foot traffic exceed the highest foot traffic during our previous soft opening?" Su Cheng asked with a smile, looking at the continuous stream of people below.
"Boss, I'm sure it will! I think it will surpass it by 100%!" Wen Yu said confidently.
"Oh? But today is Monday, a workday. The day with the most foot traffic before should have been close to 100,000 people, right? You're so confident today?" Su Cheng said in surprise.
"Of course, Boss. First of all, we've been running so many advertisements in Hong Kong during this period. Everyone knows that today, Hopewell Plaza will gather a lot of celebrities, and many of them will perform live. This is usually very difficult to come across, so it's a very rare opportunity.
How crazy are the fans of entertainment stars? You can feel it from the concerts they hold. Even if many people have to work, they will still have time after work. I estimate that tonight will be the peak of foot traffic. By then, the vast majority of office workers will be off work.
In addition, the opening of the subway has also given us a very big boost. The subway will officially open at 8 o'clock. I have already received news that there are almost a lot of people at each subway station. Many Hong Kong citizens are experiencing this truly meaningful subway in Hong Kong, and our Hopewell Plaza is next to the Kowloon Tong subway station, so many passengers experiencing the subway will definitely choose Kowloon Tong subway station as their destination.
In addition, all the merchants in our entire Hopewell Plaza have a very large discount today. Many citizens will definitely not miss such an opportunity.
None of these things happened during the soft opening, so I think today we can not only break the record, but the record we break will be very different from the original record. 100,000 is not our goal today. 150,000 or even 200,000 people is our goal today!"
Wen Yu first compared today's situation with the previous soft opening, and then stated a goal in his mind.
"Then I'll look forward to it." Su Cheng laughed.
Hong Kong currently has a population of only five million. If 200,000 people come today, that would be amazing!
This is only Monday, although it is the first day of the opening, but this opening will last for a period of time.
If there are so many people on Monday, it might be even more impressive on the weekend.
Hopewell Plaza has reached a cooperation agreement with Gala Film Group. In the future, every weekday evening, second- and third-tier stars will be present, and on weekends or holidays, there will be first-tier or even top-tier stars to interact with tourists.
Anyway, there are so many stars from Gala Film Group that it will take two or three months to rotate them all.
The presence of different celebrities and artists every day can ensure a certain amount of foot traffic for Hopewell Plaza, which other shopping malls cannot do.
Who told Hopewell Plaza and Gala Film Group to belong to the same boss? This is the advantage.
Other shopping malls don't have such conditions.
For these stars, this is just participating in a commercial event, and they get an extra income. Why not do it?
"Everyone, it's almost time, let's go downstairs first." Wei Li said to everyone, looking at the time on his watch.
At this time, the time came to 8:45 in the morning, only fifteen minutes away from the official opening ceremony, and it was indeed time to go down and prepare.
So, Su Cheng and a dozen of his top subordinates went downstairs in a mighty manner and headed to the large square outside the commercial complex. At this time, a very large stage had already been set up there.
The stage was already surrounded by many, many people, all looking forward to the excitement that would follow.
In front of the stage, there were nearly a hundred chairs, all for the guests to sit on.
Security and police were also prepared to prevent any accidents from happening.
As soon as they arrived next to the stage, a senior executive from Hopewell Plaza walked over quickly.
"Boss, President Wen, we just received news that the leaders of the 13K, Sun Yee On, Wo On Lok, and Wo Shing Wo, the four major triads in Hong Kong, have all arrived. They have all presented congratulatory gifts, and we have temporarily invited them to rest in another lounge.
In addition, Mr. Pao of Wharf, Mr. Li of Henderson Land Development, Mr. Kwok of Sun Hung Kai Properties, Mr. Cheng of New World Development, Mr. Li of Cheung Kong Group, Mr. Fok of Hip Shing Hong, Mr. Hu of Hopewell Holdings, Mr. Shaw Run Run of Shaw Brothers, and more than twenty other Hong Kong business tycoons have sent congratulatory gifts. They have all just arrived not long ago. We did not receive any news before, and I was just about to call you to report."
It can be regarded as giving Su Cheng enough face.
"Boss, I am also surprised. We didn't intend to invite them over. I didn't expect these people to come. I will go over to greet them immediately." Wen Yu said.
"Mr. Wei Li, please go with him. Also, please invite them all to sit in the guest seats here." Su Cheng turned around and said to Wei Li behind him.
Wen Yu's status is not high enough after all, and his reputation in Hong Kong is not well-known, so it is better to call Wei Li to go with him. And Wei Li, relying on Hutchison Whampoa, can now be regarded as a world tycoon in Hong Kong.
"Okay, Boss, I will go and receive them immediately." Wei Li said, and then hurriedly rushed over with Wen Yu.
"Boss, you still have a lot of face." Yang Chaoye said with a smile, watching the two leave.
To be honest, Su Cheng was indeed very surprised.
He was surprised that the leaders of the four major triads actually came.
It wasn't too surprising that the business tycoons came.
Because these business tycoons have more or less some friendship with him, it's not surprising that they came uninvited.
But the triad bosses are different. After all, he usually doesn't have much contact with these triad bosses.
Of these four major triads, Su Cheng has probably only contacted the leader of the 13K, and even then it was through Brother Wu.
Last time, the second son of this 13K leader and Zheng Qingbo wanted to use Su Cheng to make a big profit through the shares of China Motor Bus, but unfortunately Su Cheng found out. In the end, Zheng Qingbo died, and the second son of this 13K leader's family also received the punishment he deserved.
It is rare for the four major triads to come together. They are definitely not here to cause trouble. After all, these four triads are usually competitors. It is a miracle that they can come together so harmoniously this time.
What's more, it is impossible for them to dare to provoke Su Cheng. They don't have the guts.
Not to mention Su Cheng, even commercial tycoons like Li Ka-shing and Shaw Run Run, who are not considered top tycoons in Hong Kong, these triads would not dare to provoke.
Therefore, knowing that they were coming, Su Cheng was not worried at all, only surprised.
