We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

The next day, Su Cheng didn't delay and directly called his finance department to transfer 700 million Hong Kong dollars to Mr. Corliss Mitrovic's account.

Although this sum of money was considerable, Su Cheng didn't bother to haggle.

After all, cooperation is mutual, and others were so generous; credibility is built up through accumulated actions.

Su Cheng didn't tell anyone about unexpectedly acquiring these 3.89% shares.

Apart from telling Zhang Qizheng about this matter, he didn't tell anyone else.

He told Zhang Qizheng because Zhang Qizheng was the direct person in charge of this project, and his sudden ownership of 3.89% of Jardine Matheson's shares could provide him with some help in how to arrange Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land next.

Learning that Su Cheng had obtained so many Jardine Matheson shares on a trip to the UK, Zhang Qizheng was also very excited, as this would indeed reduce many conflicts in their next actions.

After all, the transaction between Su Cheng and Mr. Corliss Mitrovic not only directly weakened the British consortium's shares but also greatly increased the Jardine Matheson shares they held.

Originally, Jardine Matheson's shares were not their primary goal, merely a secondary one.

However, acquiring these 3.89% shares, coupled with the Jardine Matheson shares they had previously secretly acquired, had secretly made them the third largest shareholder of Jardine Matheson Group, which was simply an unexpected gain.

After telling Zhang Qizheng about the matter, Su Cheng turned his attention back to the UK.

Today was also the day the Queen received him; in the morning, staff from Buckingham Palace had specifically called him to tell him the time of the Queen's audience.

Su Cheng was also full of curiosity about this longest-reigning British monarch, but that was all.

Before meeting the Queen, Su Cheng also had to meet with the British Prime Minister.

A big entrepreneur like Su Cheng, no matter which country he went to, would be met and courted by senior government officials.

Moreover, Hong Kong was still a British colony for the time being, so in their minds, Su Cheng was one of them.

Although Hong Kong people, even if they immigrated to the UK, would only be reduced to second-class citizens, Su Cheng's status and position were different after all, and they naturally treated him differently.

Therefore, after lunch, Su Cheng went to 10 Downing Street.

Meeting with Su Cheng were the British Prime Minister and some senior British officials.

These kinds of meetings are generally just formalities, mutual flattery, which Su Cheng is very good at.

During the talks, Su Cheng fully affirmed the speed of commercial development in the UK, as well as the business environment, and so on.

The other party also kept praising Su Cheng's commercial talent, how much contribution he had made to the world, and so on.

Finally, they sincerely invited Su Cheng to continue investing heavily in the UK.

After leaving 10 Downing Street, Su Cheng had already signed several documents with the British government under the witness of reporters.

For example, reaching a cooperation intention in a certain place in the UK, such as signing a mobile telecommunications network coverage project with Birmingham, such as Su Cheng donating 10 million Hong Kong dollars to British charities, doing charity work, and so on.

This was definitely unavoidable; after all, since he was making money from the UK, he would definitely have to give back a portion to them in some way.

Otherwise, they would definitely find ways to make things difficult for Su Cheng.

Ten million Hong Kong dollars was not much to Su Cheng.

But it also gave him the title of philanthropist in the UK, earning more people's respect, which was a win-win situation.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Cheng went to the famous British attraction—Buckingham Palace, and met the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

In addition to the Queen and Prince Philip, several princes also met with Su Cheng.

The content of the chat was some uninformative topics.

The family was very enthusiastic.

In general, Su Cheng's feeling was that the royal family seemed to be trying to win him over, and they were very friendly to him.

Especially the young princes, who regarded Su Cheng as an idol.

At six o'clock in the evening, Su Cheng also stayed at Buckingham Palace for a lavish dinner.

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that Su Cheng came out of Buckingham Palace.

And he also had an extra group photo in his hand.

In the group photo, the Queen, Prince Philip, and Su Cheng sat in front, and several princes and princesses stood behind; those who didn't know would have thought it was a family.

Su Cheng originally didn't want to stand in this position, but the Queen strongly requested it, and Su Cheng reluctantly agreed.

Anyway, it was just a photo.

After coming out of Buckingham Palace, Su Cheng thought about it and didn't rush back. Instead, he asked the bodyguard Lao Liu to drive to near the Tower Bridge in London.

Rarely alone, he could relax.

Even in winter, London's nightlife was obviously very lively.

Even though it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, there were still many pedestrians on the street.

Walking on the street full of bars and dance halls, Su Cheng felt the atmosphere of the city at night.

Entering these bars and dance halls, it would be easy to have a romantic encounter.

But Su Cheng didn't go in because he knew that these places were very chaotic.

So he said to Lao Liu and the others: "Let's go back."

Returning to the parking spot, Su Cheng directly sat in the back seat.

Ten minutes later, their car had already returned to the Su's Group Building.

British London, in these few years, he had already been here several times.

The famous attractions in the center of London, he had actually visited all of them.

Coming once is fresh, coming a second and third time, it starts to become a little dull.

People are like this, the first attempt is often full of infinite curiosity and freshness, that unique charm is unforgettable.

However, with the second and third repetitions, that original passion and freshness may gradually fade, becoming somewhat boring and bland.

This is precisely because human nature has a natural yearning and pursuit for the unknown and novelty, and once familiarity and habit are formed, that original attraction naturally weakens.

Therefore, people often say that the first experience is always so special, it carries the joy of exploring the unknown and the infinite yearning for new things.

Coming to London, the main purpose was the Queen's invitation and meeting with relevant senior British officials, these have all been achieved today, and the main purpose of this trip to the UK can be considered completed.

Next, Su Cheng can leave the UK at any time.

However, since he had come here, he naturally cared about his enterprises.

Now, not only does Su's Group have branches in Europe, but Hutchison Whampoa's European branch, Wunderman Bank, Sky穹 Semiconductor's European branch, and even Nami Entertainment, etc., all have headquarters in London.

Especially Nami Entertainment, which is now focusing on developing its business in Europe, so this is already a very important market for Nami Entertainment.

He usually has no chance to inspect the branch headquarters of these companies here.

Since he had come to the UK, he should naturally inspect them one by one.
