We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Unsurprisingly, the foot traffic at Hutchison Plaza on Sunday was almost identical to the previous day.

Throughout the day, Hutchison Plaza saw an entry of 248,000 people, only 5,000 fewer than the previous day, and the turnover also exceeded 90 million Hong Kong dollars.

When this news reached Jardine Matheson's Newbigging and Hongkong Land's David Davies, it only fueled their jealousy.

Even Yue-Kong Pao, the shipping magnate, couldn't wait for Harbour City to open as soon as possible.

Unsurprisingly, once Harbour City opened, it would quickly surpass Hutchison Plaza in terms of both foot traffic and turnover.

After all, the two were simply not on the same level.

Whether in terms of shopping mall scale, geographical location, investment scale, etc., the gap between Hutchison Plaza and Harbour City was too large.

In recent years, the vast majority of Wharf's revenue has been invested in Harbour City.

Therefore, if it couldn't even surpass Hutchison Plaza, then Harbour City would truly be a failed project.

However, Su Cheng knew that failure was impossible. After all, he knew the famous Harbour City in his previous life, and even with the emergence of competitors like Hutchison Plaza, it still couldn't change Harbour City's commercial status in Hong Kong.

This was also the reason why Su Cheng was willing to become the second largest shareholder of Wharf today. In the future, after Yue-Kong Pao passed away, Su Cheng might even directly become the largest shareholder of Wharf, completely becoming the controlling shareholder of Wharf.

Of course, if Yue-Kong Pao sold him Wharf's shares in advance, he would also be willing to take over, but this probability was not high.

Su Cheng didn't care about a controlling stake in Wharf, because under the management of a business magnate like Yue-Kong Pao, Wharf would only get better and better, and there would be no need to struggle over which top professional manager to hire.

Anyway, the difference between Su Cheng's shares and Yue-Kong Pao's shares was not that big. He held 29.87% of Wharf's shares, nearly 30%. With such shares, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to seize control of Wharf one day in the future.

Of course, Yue-Kong Pao's character was still worthy of Su Cheng's respect, so he had no intention of seizing control of Wharf for the time being.

Rather than infighting within the Chinese community, it would be better to find ways to acquire the British consortia's enterprises in Hong Kong one by one, so that the Chinese consortia could completely control Hong Kong's economic lifeline.

The villagers of Da Sha Ling Village, knowing that the matter had been resolved, happily went home with smiles on their faces.

Back home, the village carpenter began to get busy.

Because many villagers asked him to help make a longevity tablet for Su Cheng.

With so many families wanting to erect Su Cheng's longevity tablet, some families, even if they didn't originally want to, followed suit when they saw others doing it, after all, not erecting one would easily lead to gossip.

Thus, not a single villager in the entire Da Sha Ling Village did not erect a longevity tablet for Su Cheng.

Su Cheng was not aware of this matter. At this time, he was very pleased to learn that Hutchison Plaza was once again experiencing a surge in foot traffic today.

The surge in foot traffic at Hutchison Plaza meant that his affiliated businesses such as hotels, supermarkets, cinemas, Oracle brand experience stores, etc., were all reaping good turnover.

This feeling of making money every day was truly wonderful.

October 9th, Cold Dew.

Entering the Cold Dew season, cold air occasionally moves south, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and autumn dryness is obvious.

However, Hong Kong was still hot today, with daytime temperatures reaching 29 degrees Celsius.

Originally, Su Cheng planned to go to Macau at noon today. There was a groundbreaking ceremony for a major project there the day after tomorrow. He planned to take Zhong Chuhong to the Songshan Villa there for a vacation, and by the way, deal with some matters there and talk to the Governor of Macau about Macau's future development plans.

As the boss, as well as the chief economic designer of Macau, and also naturalized in Macau, Su Cheng himself should often go there.

However, a phone call forced him to postpone his plan to go to Macau.

When Su Cheng finished breakfast, he received a call from Michael Sandberg, inviting him to the HSBC Group headquarters at two o'clock in the afternoon to discuss some matters.

Although he didn't know what Michael Sandberg wanted him for, since Michael Sandberg personally invited him, he still had to give him some face.

At noon, after having lunch at the Su family villa, Su Cheng rested at home until 1:40 before slowly going out.

The distance between Barker Road and the HSBC Group headquarters was not far. If there was no traffic jam, ten minutes would be enough.

After parking the car, Su Cheng came to Michael Sandberg's office familiarly.

Outside, before he knocked on the door, he had already heard a sound coming from the office. The sound was not loud, but it allowed Su Cheng to know who was inside.

Unsurprisingly, it should be Michael Sandberg and Jardine Matheson's Newbigging inside.

As a result, he had not received a call from Newbigging in the past two days, which made him feel very strange.

Now, hearing Newbigging's voice coming from Michael Sandberg's office, he knew that Newbigging must have asked Michael Sandberg to be an intermediary.

In just a few seconds, Su Cheng thought of many things.

"Knock, knock, knock."

He no longer stood at the door considering, but directly knocked on the door.

"Come in." Michael Sandberg's voice came from inside.

Su Cheng twisted the doorknob. Sure enough, sitting inside were Michael Sandberg and Newbigging. At this time, the two were sitting on the sofa.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sandberg. Oh, Mr. Newbigging, you're here too?" Su Cheng greeted them cheerfully.

"Mr. Su, you're here. Come over and please sit down." Michael Sandberg pointed to the empty sofa opposite.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Su." Newbigging also responded.

Although Su Cheng felt that Newbigging's face instantly became not very good when he saw him, Su Cheng didn't care at all.

If he cared, he wouldn't have offended Newbigging.

Su Cheng walked to the sofa and sat down casually.

Having come to HSBC Group so many times, he no longer regarded himself as a guest here.

Moreover, in his heart, the entire HSBC Group would be his holding company in the future. In his own company, there was no reason to be a guest.

"Mr. Su, would you like something to drink?" Michael Sandberg asked.

"No need, I just had tea at home before coming, I'm not thirsty." Su Cheng waved his hand and said.

For a moment, the scene was silent for a moment.

"I don't know why Mr. Sandberg called me over? What's the matter?" Su Cheng continued to ask, pretending to be puzzled.

At this time, Newbigging almost couldn't hold back after hearing Su Cheng's words, and couldn't help but want to question loudly: "Don't you know what you did yourself?"

However, he knew that this could not be said, otherwise coming to HSBC Group today to let Michael Sandberg mediate would be equivalent to coming in vain. (End of this chapter)
