We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

In Tsim Sha Tsui, within a luxury apartment in an upscale residential area.

Tsai Xiaofen, a housewife, listened to the news on the radio, which reported how lively the Hutchison Whampoa Plaza was today.

At that moment, she couldn't wait to go shopping at Hutchison Whampoa Plaza.

As a housewife, she lived a monotonous life. Her husband would give her a generous allowance every month, which seemed like a lot to ordinary people, but he rarely came home to spend time with her. Bored, she could only numb herself by shopping.

Therefore, she decisively called her close girlfriends to discuss going shopping together at Hutchison Whampoa Plaza.

In Hong Kong, housewives like Tsai Xiaofen were not uncommon. They didn't need to work. Their daily tasks were to take care of the children at home, or cook and do housework for their husbands.

When the children grew older, they went to school, giving the housewives even more free time.

During their boring hours, they could only make more girlfriends, play cards together, sing karaoke together, go shopping together, and even hire male models together.

In such a fast-paced city, infidelity among men and women was not uncommon.

Especially some women felt that since men were having affairs, why should they remain chaste?

Moreover, these housewives had one thing in common: they didn't lack money.

What they wanted was enough excitement.

They wouldn't want to go to a street with few people!

In poor families, women rarely became housewives, because relying on the husband to work alone was not enough to spend.

Even if they didn't work in factories, they would take on some handicraft work, such as making plastic flowers or stringing beads. Although they were also at home, they couldn't be considered housewives at all. They also had to work part-time to earn money.

Only those from wealthy families could be considered true housewives.

As a result, many such housewives went to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza with their girlfriends and children.

Sheung Wan, Hong Kong University, in a female dormitory.

"Xiaocui, we don't have classes this afternoon. Do you want to go to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza together? There's a bus here that terminates in Kowloon Tong, and the terminal station is near Hutchison Whampoa Plaza. I heard that many seniors who have classes are skipping them to go there. There are many celebrities there today, and I heard that even Xu Xiaofeng is performing on stage, and my favorite Hui Guan Jie is also there," Ali on the upper bunk said to her classmate Xiaocui on the lower bunk while putting on makeup.

"Ali, I'm sorry, my boyfriend has already made an appointment with me. He will drive his daddy's private car to pick me up later," Xiaocui said triumphantly.

"I really envy you for finding a boyfriend with such a good family background. Can I hitch a ride with him?" Ali's eyes were full of jealousy.

"It's not that I don't want you to come along, but my boyfriend said that he doesn't like to take other girls. When he drives, he will only take me!" Xiaocui refused directly, fearing that her boyfriend would take a liking to this roommate who was even more beautiful than her, and also to show off to her roommate how devoted her boyfriend was.

Central, in an office building.

"Ajie, how about going to Kowloon Tong after work?"

"Are you talking about going to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza? I already had that plan."

"That's great, let's go together then."

"Okay, I've also invited a few friends. Let's go together then. The more the merrier."

"Okay, it's settled then. It's said that the shops there are offering discounts of 20% to 40%, a rare opportunity. I've long wanted to buy a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch, but the counters here are too expensive. With the discount there, I can save a lot of money."

"Wow, you're not bad, kid. You're actually willing to buy a Patek Philippe Nautilus to wear. You must lend it to me to show off after you buy it. I wouldn't be willing to buy it."

"What's our relationship? No problem lending it to you!"

"Then it's settled!"

… …

All over Hong Kong, many citizens were discussing going to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza together.

Many people, due to time constraints, certainly couldn't go there when it opened at nine o'clock in the morning.

However, they could still choose to go during their free time.

In the afternoon, Su Cheng came out of the office and specifically went to Hutchison Whampoa Plaza with Wei Li to take another look around.

In the office, although it was quiet and dark, sitting for a long time would eventually cause buttock pain, and drinking too much tea would lead to frequent urination. It was better to go down and take a walk.

Everywhere in Hutchison Whampoa Plaza, there were still so many people.

Fortunately, their security measures were good, and there were no major incidents. Of course, small conflicts were inevitable, after all, with so many people, there were people of all kinds of qualities.

However, these small conflicts were resolved quickly, especially since there were dozens of police officers assisting with security here. Things that some security guards couldn't handle were directly handed over to the police.

When Su Cheng passed the shop of Zhong Chuhong's parents, he also found that there were many customers inside.

With Zhong Chuhong's endorsement, especially since Zhong Chuhong often appeared in the shop, this also made the chain store opened by Zhong Chuhong's parents' business very good all along, and now they have even created their own independent brand.

When their chain stores continue to open, they may become big shots in the clothing business in the future.

Although Zhong Chuhong has retired from acting, her legend still exists.

Especially in the past year or so, Zhong Chuhong has filmed more than a dozen TV series and movies.

These dozen or so film and television dramas are enough to keep her fame for a long time.

At least, in the next year or two, her influence in Hong Kong will not be too low.

Arriving at the small stage on the first floor, a second-rate singer was singing hard at this time.

Su Cheng didn't recognize him, but from the onlookers, it could be seen that he should be relatively popular in Hong Kong, because from time to time fans would shout loudly.

After taking a walk around, he also went up to the fourth floor and watched a movie at the Lisheng Cinema.

The movie was God of Gamblers starring Chow Yun-fat. Although Su Cheng had already given the script to Liang Shuyi's side, it was not officially released until this month.

Currently, the release results are very good. Although it has only been released for half a month, from the current box office, there is a great hope to hit this year's box office champion.

In the past year or so, the movies filmed by Jiayi Film and Television Group have almost all become top-tier, and each one has the opportunity to become a box office champion.

With the situation undecided, every movie released by Jiayi Film and Television Group is a dark horse!

As for Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, they are no longer able to compete with Jiayi.

After watching the movie, it was already evening.

Su Cheng specially called A Jiao and A Mei to have dinner at a Hunan restaurant on the third floor of the mall.

At this time, he had already clearly felt that the flow of people in Hutchison Whampoa Plaza had become unprecedentedly large.

At this time, many Hong Kong people had already gotten off work.
