We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

At exactly 2:00 PM on July 6th, Su Cheng welcomed Mr. Sigmund Sexauer, the former International Vice President of Volkswagen Group, to his elegant private reception room.

After completing the introductions, Zhang Qi politely excused himself, as he was currently busy with other matters and his presence was no longer required here.

"Mr. Sigmund Sexauer, please have a seat over here," Su Cheng warmly greeted, gesturing towards the comfortable sofa.

However, Mr. Sexauer did not immediately sit down. His gaze was deeply drawn to the spectacular photo wall, a collection of precious photos of Su Cheng with leaders from various countries, so numerous that they numbered nearly a hundred, their significance self-evident.

"Mr. Su, if it's convenient, may I take a look at these photos first?" Mr. Sexauer inquired, expressing his keen curiosity about the photo wall.

"Of course, Mr. Sexauer, please feel free to browse," Su Cheng replied with a smile.

This photo wall not only recorded his network of connections but also served as a testament to his efforts and achievements over the past two years.

For seasoned professionals like Mr. Sexauer, who frequently represented Volkswagen on the international stage, the underlying meaning and value were naturally understood.

Thus, Mr. Sexauer slowly approached the photo wall and began to carefully savor the stories behind each photo, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the leaders of various countries, transcending time and space through these images.

Many of the leaders' faces on this photo wall were not unfamiliar to Mr. Sigmund Sexauer.

After all, he had only retired from his illustrious career at Volkswagen Group a little over a year ago. He had heard of or even personally met most of the political figures who frequently appeared on the international stage.

Especially the leaders of those smaller countries, many of whom had personally received Mr. Sexauer, leaving a deep impression on his memory.

And Mr. Sigmund Sexauer was even more familiar with the leaders of the major European powers.

As one of Germany's and even Europe's iconic companies, Volkswagen's headquarters are located in Germany, giving him the opportunity to observe and feel the pulse of European politics and economy up close.

Although, as the former International Vice President, he had relatively few opportunities to meet directly with the leaders of major powers, the presidents of Volkswagen Group often held high-level talks with these important figures, and this information and atmosphere invisibly influenced and enriched his vision and understanding.

"These photos were all taken last year and this year," Su Cheng walked to Mr. Sigmund Sexauer's side and introduced with a smile.

Recalling two years ago, although Su Cheng had quietly accumulated considerable wealth, he always maintained a low profile and did not attract widespread attention from the outside world.

At that time, he had not yet entered the prominent social circles, and naturally, he had no opportunity to interact with these political elites face-to-face.

However, with the rapid rise and widespread recognition of Su Cheng's career, his reputation, like the light of dawn, quickly illuminated the entire business and even political world.

Leaders from various countries were attracted by his achievements and eagerly sought opportunities to meet with him to discuss major issues such as investment promotion, economic cooperation, and so on.

In their eyes, Su Cheng was not only a successful business magnate but also a powerful engine capable of driving economic development.

Therefore, leaders of many countries and regions were eager to establish close ties with Su Cheng, hoping to use his power to inject new vitality into their economies and achieve more prosperous development.

This is the unique prestige and influence of the world's richest man, focusing global attention on him, hoping to gain enough benefits from him.

"Mr. Su, your influence on a global scale has surpassed many giants, including the chairman of Volkswagen Group. Your achievements are truly amazing!" Mr. Sigmund Sexauer's words were full of respect, and he even unconsciously changed his address from "you" to the more respectful "you," a subtle change that fully demonstrated his high recognition and admiration for Su Cheng.

Faced with such praise, Su Cheng modestly waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Mr. Sigmund Sexauer is too kind. The chairman of Volkswagen Group is a senior in the industry, and his contributions and influence are obvious to all. There is no direct comparison between us. I am just standing on the shoulders of giants, working hard to move forward. The road ahead is still long, and I still need to constantly learn and work hard."

Su Cheng's current influence has indeed far exceeded that of the helmsman of Volkswagen Group, but such a comparison itself has certain limitations.

After all, Volkswagen Group has been deeply involved in the automotive industry for many years, and its business, while centered on automobile manufacturing, has also built a solid industry position.

In contrast, Su Cheng's industrial empire is like a starry night sky, covering multiple fields, and the businesses in many industries are in leading positions. This diversified layout undoubtedly adds to Su Cheng's broader influence.

He not only consolidated his position in the original field but also constantly crossed boundaries, involving himself in multiple emerging and mature markets, including automobiles.

As for whether Tianyu Automotive Group can match or even surpass Volkswagen Group in the future, this is indeed a topic full of infinite possibilities.

However, Su Cheng also understands that any great achievement is not achieved overnight. It requires the precipitation of time, the accumulation of technology, and the recognition of the market.

Currently, the gap between the two is still significant, like the rising moon and the brightest star in the night sky, both shining brightly but in different skies.

However, Su Cheng has great confidence in this, because he not only leads a vast business empire, with endless resources at his disposal, but also has a unique advantage—the golden finger Xiao Ai, which is a treasure trove containing countless cutting-edge technologies.

Su Cheng is very clear that as long as these technologies are gradually transformed into real productive forces, relying on its leading technological advantages, Tianyu Automotive Group has a good chance of standing out in the fierce competition in the future, and even surpassing industry giants like Volkswagen Group.

Therefore, Su Cheng is undoubtedly full of confidence in this regard.

"Mr. Sigmund Sexauer, come and sit down. It's rare for Mr. Sigmund Sexauer to come all this way, you must be tired." Seeing that Sigmund Sexauer had looked at it almost enough, Su Cheng said with a smile.
