We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

“Shouldn't MacLehose and Simon Keswick be at Shek Kip Mei presiding over the opening of the early system revision? Why would they come to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza?” Su Cheng was still somewhat puzzled.

As an invited member, although Su Cheng didn't go, he knew that MacLehose and Simon Keswick were both attending the subway opening ceremony today.

Of course, the subway opening ceremony should have been at eight o'clock, and it's almost nine o'clock now, so it must be over.

But even if it's over, they shouldn't come over, after all, Simon To and Wan Yu didn't send them invitations.

In any case, now that they've come, they naturally have to be well received, and cannot be rude.

At this time, the people in the guest seats also heard the conversation of Su Cheng and others, and stood up one after another.

The Governor MacLehose has arrived, and they certainly wouldn't dare to continue sitting before MacLehose is seated.

Everyone is a person with a face, and they will meet sooner or later, so they must give enough respect.

“Boss, I guess it should be that Shek Kip Mei and Harbour City are relatively close, and it just so happens that their event in Shek Kip Mei is over, so they came over conveniently,” Simon To said from the side.

Su Cheng nodded, this possibility should be the greatest.

“Mr. Su, since Governor MacLehose has come, let's go and greet him together,” Bao Ship King said as he walked over.

“Okay, then let's all go and greet Governor MacLehose and Mr. Simon Keswick,” Su Cheng smiled and nodded.

Next to the stage is the main entrance of the mall, and a dozen meters inside the main entrance is the elevator entrance.

Someone from the underground parking lot will lead them, and will definitely bring MacLehose to this elevator entrance.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Cheng and others arrived, at the elevator entrance, they saw the elevator door open, and standing inside were Governor MacLehose, HSBC taipan Simon Keswick, and Commissioner of Police Han Yi Li. Beside them were several guards and bodyguards.

MacLehose and others did not expect that as soon as the elevator door opened, they would see so many people coming to greet them.

Moreover, these people are all big figures in Hong Kong.

“Governor, Mr. Han Yi Li, Mr. Simon Keswick, welcome, welcome, your arrival really makes Hutchison Whampoa Plaza shine,” Su Cheng said with a smile, greeting them.

Today, there have really been too many surprises, one by one, big shots who were not invited have come at the same time.

On the other hand, none of the people from the British consortiums came, except for Simon Keswick, the HSBC taipan who has a relatively close relationship with Su Cheng.

Now, after several acquisitions, Su Cheng has become a thorn in the side of the British consortiums. Although those people are unwilling to offend Su Cheng, it is impossible for them to curry favor with Su Cheng, so it is normal for them not to come.

“I'm really sorry, we are disturbing you so late, please don't mind. It's almost nine o'clock, and we won't delay your opening ceremony time, let's all go to the venue,” MacLehose knew that the opening ceremony of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza was at nine o'clock, so he didn't delay time here.

So, a large group of people returned to the front of the stage, and at this time, it was also nine o'clock in the morning.

“Mr. MacLehose, since you are here, please go to the podium to take a seat,” Su Cheng said to MacLehose with a smile.

“The opening ceremony of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza officially begins!” Wan Yu, as the host, officially announced the start of the ceremony after everyone was seated.

Next, Simon To, Su Cheng, MacLehose and others gave speeches one after another.

After each person finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause from the scene.

After all, whether it is Simon To, the president of Hutchison Whampoa Plaza, or Su Cheng, the world's richest man, or MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, etc., are usually big figures that ordinary people rarely see.

But now, these big figures are in front of them, this feeling seems fresher than seeing a star.

At least, celebrities often participate in commercial activities, and it is relatively easy for them to meet.

But it is not so easy to see Su Cheng and others, they only see them more often in the news.

After the speeches of the leaders ended, the lion dance team continued to dance the lions.

Next, it was time to dot the eyes of the lion.

Then, it was the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

When Su Cheng took the golden scissors and gently cut the ribbon, the ribbon broke in response.

There was another burst of warm applause from the scene, and the sound of gongs and drums became even more intense.

On the stage, Su Cheng overlooked the surroundings and could see a dark mass of people crowded together, the entire square could be said to be full of people.

There must be at least twenty or thirty thousand people at this scene.

No matter where they are, Chinese people like to watch the excitement. The more people gather, the more people can be attracted. Hutchison Whampoa Plaza is the same.

This is still because the square can no longer accommodate people. Many customers have already entered the mall or gone to the food street, otherwise Su Cheng's estimate would be even higher.

This is still just the opening, it's only morning. If it comes to tonight, it's really hard to imagine how many people will have entered Hutchison Whampoa Plaza in this one day.

This opening ceremony itself was not arranged for too long. From the start at nine o'clock to the end, it was only half an hour.

After all, Hutchison Whampoa Plaza is a place for consumption, what is needed is for customers to go in and spend, instead of letting these customers stand outside the square.

Celebrity artists will then take turns meeting fans and customers inside the venue.

So, as soon as the official opening ceremony ended, the audience at the scene flocked into the mall or the food street.

Looking at this huge flow of people, Bao Ship King was envious and couldn't help but said: “Mr. Su, when our Harbour City opens, how great it would be to have such a flow of people!”

Harbour City will open next year. As the largest commercial complex planned in Hong Kong, Bao Ship King is full of expectations for Harbour City, but he is still a little worried. If Harbour City doesn't succeed, then Wharf will suffer a great loss.

In recent years, Wharf's annual dividends have been very small. It's not that Wharf doesn't make money, but that a lot of profits have been invested in the construction of Harbour City.

Therefore, this Harbour City is very important to the Wharf Group.
