We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

And so, a grand donation ceremony began.

Originally, if the donation list wasn't going to be released to the media, then these people might have just made a token donation, if anything at all.

But putting the list of donation amounts on the media to be announced made a big difference.

For them, it was a good opportunity to boost their reputation.

Donating too little would only be embarrassing.

Of the hundred-plus people present, apart from the younger generation or female relatives who were brought along to see the world, who wasn't worth at least tens of millions?

There were even a dozen billionaires.

"I'll donate 300,000 Macanese patacas."

"I'm not as rich as Mr. Yan, but I, Tan, will also donate 100,000 Macanese patacas."

"I, Huo, will donate 5 million Macanese patacas."

"I, Li, on behalf of Splendid Hotel, will donate 1 million Macanese patacas."

…

Each person who pledged a donation was directly recorded by the staff.

This wasn't just a verbal pledge; they had to give the money.

In this kind of situation, no one dared to boast or donate recklessly without actually giving, or not donating enough. It would be very difficult to continue in Macau, and no one dared to take that risk, especially with the Governor himself present.

The Tung Sin Tong's finance personnel and the Grand Lisboa Hotel's finance personnel were assisting with the collection.

Since it was a large amount of money, everyone directly filled out checks, which would be exchanged for bank deposits at the bank later.

In the end, the on-site donation data was shocking.

This time, the organizers actually invited 118 guests, and the donated funds reached a staggering 78.3 million Macanese patacas.

Among them, Su Cheng donated the most, a full 10 million Macanese patacas.

In addition, Mr. He and Mr. Huo each donated 5 million Macanese patacas.

These three alone donated 20 million Macanese patacas.

The smallest donation from the guests present was also 100,000 Macanese patacas.

But in reality, most people at the scene donated 300,000 to 400,000 Macanese patacas.

Don't think that a few hundred thousand Macanese patacas doesn't seem like much, but in this era, it was already a huge sum of money.

In Macau, buying a relatively small second-hand apartment only cost less than 100,000 Macanese patacas.

In other words, the guests at the scene each donated the equivalent of a small apartment at the very least.

78.3 million, plus the nearly 4 million Macanese patacas obtained from the auction, totaling more than 80 million Macanese patacas. This amount of money was enough for Tung Sin Tong to be much more generous in its charitable expenditures for many years, and they could do more charitable work.

This was a very good thing for the entire Macau.

As Macau's largest charity organization, Tung Sin Tong has always been recognized by the citizens of Macau. It is a very pure charity organization that has been contributing to Macau's charitable cause for several decades.

After understanding the history of Tung Sin Tong, Su Cheng also directly chose to trust it.

Anyway, with government supervision, supervision from the Grand Lisboa Hotel, and supervision from big shots like Mr. Huo, tens of millions of Macanese patacas may be a large sum of money, but wanting to move this huge sum was not easy.

This sum of money was already a very unexpected thing for the three organizers.

Originally, they only wanted to raise one or two million Macanese patacas through this charity auction, and they would have been very satisfied.

But now, it was a full 80 million Macanese patacas.

Even the Governor's Office was tempted when they saw this huge amount of money and had the idea of misappropriating it.

Because he had no right to misappropriate this money at all.

Everyone's donations were not for the government to misappropriate, but purely for charitable purposes. Everyone was supervising, and the government had no right to misappropriate it at all.

If the government wanted to misappropriate it, then these donors would be qualified to take back the donation.

Moreover, the current Macau government had already declared a few years ago that Macau was Chinese territory and would definitely be returned in the future.

In this case, he would not do such an offensive thing.

Su Cheng would spend 10.07 million Macanese patacas tonight, of which 10 million Macanese patacas was a direct donation, and the other 700,000 was the charity money to be spent at the auction.

For him, these were small amounts of money, and he didn't care too much. That's how capricious he was when he had money.

The Jingdezhen porcelain and the bronze horse head statue were also directly moved to the parking lot by the staff and placed in the trunk.

Fortunately, both treasures were not too big and could be successfully placed in the trunk, otherwise, a special car would have to be arranged to escort them back.

The newest chapters are at 69shuba!

At this time, it was already very late, and Su Cheng also planned to take Ajiao back to the Songshan Villa.

"Mr. Su, see you tomorrow." In the underground parking lot of the Grand Lisboa Hotel, Governor Izidro smiled and shook hands with Su Cheng.

"Governor, see you tomorrow," Su Cheng nodded and said.

Not only Su Cheng, Wei Li, and Yang Chaoye will participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the industrial park on Taipa Island tomorrow, but even Governor Izidro will also participate.

In this industrial park, all future rights of use will belong to the companies under Hutchison Whampoa and the Su Group, and will not be leased to the outside world.

Moreover, in the next few years, the two major groups will invest hundreds of millions of Macanese patacas in this industrial park alone.

Such a huge investment, and it is a real industry, not an entertainment industry, creates a lot of job opportunities.

Therefore, even if Su Cheng did not invite Governor Izidro, Izidro would take the initiative to come and participate, giving Su Cheng enough face.

Back in the car, Su Cheng looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

It only took less than five minutes to get back to Songshan Villa from the Grand Lisboa Hotel.

Macau itself doesn't have many cars, with only about 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles.

It was already late at night, and there were even fewer people driving outside.

The buses had stopped running, and the rich people had gone back to rest. There were only one or two taxis occasionally driving on the street, but there were more motorcycles.

After all, Macau is not big. Compared to cars, motorcycles are more convenient, and most importantly, they are cheaper.

Back at Songshan Villa, Su Cheng first asked the bodyguards to move the Jingdezhen porcelain and the bronze horse head statue into the villa.

Among them, Su Cheng planned to just leave the porcelain here. He arranged for it to be placed in the screen cabinet in the hall on the first floor. After the porcelain was placed, it also added a lot to the hall out of thin air.

A Yuan Dynasty antique was not enough for Su Cheng to pay too much attention to.

As for the bronze horse head statue, Su Cheng also directly put it in the study on the first floor.

However, when he returned to Hong Kong, he would take it back with him.

Now, the Su family's villa has already collected eight bronze zodiac animal head statues. Adding this one, that's already nine.

He was getting closer and closer to collecting all twelve bronze zodiac animal head statues.

Su Cheng felt that collecting this thing was quite addictive, especially the closer he got to collecting them all, the more he paid attention to it.

Collecting all twelve bronze zodiac animal head statues as soon as possible was also to prevent someone from using the Chinese national sentiment for malicious commercial hype. (End of this chapter)
