People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Since returning to Hong Kong, Su Cheng has been immersed in the warmth of his family and enjoyed a full week of quiet time before setting off to visit Su Group, Hutchison Whampoa Group and other subsidiaries to gain an in-depth understanding of their latest developments and operating conditions.

During this period, he devoted almost all of his free time to his family, enjoying the joy of family life.

During this long week-long vacation, Su Cheng specially arranged a day to drive to Deep Water Bay Villa and spend an unforgettable night with Guan Jiahui.

Since she officially entered Hong Kong University in early September, Guan Jiahui's life has been fulfilling and colorful. Not only has she continued to delve into her comics career, she has also shouldered the responsibilities of a student and has been diligent in her studies.

Therefore, her daily life is mostly occupied by school courses and activities, and she usually stays on campus.

At this moment, her heart knot has been untied and she is no longer troubled by her father's abandonment.

Time passed day by day. On this day, Su Cheng first inspected the world's tallest building project under construction, and then returned to his private office in the Su Group Building.

The construction of this building is progressing very quickly. According to the current progress, it should be completed by 1982.

By then, he will be the owner of the world's tallest building.

This high-rise building is not only the pride of his business empire, but also an important milestone in his personal career.

After the inspection, Su Cheng drove back to the Su Group Building in the city center and walked straight to his spacious and bright private office.

In the office, everything is in order and the city scenery outside the window can be seen at a glance.

Not long after they sat down, Yang Chaoye pushed the door open and the two had an in-depth exchange and discussion on some important decisions of the group in recent times.

As the topic deepened, time passed by unknowingly.

After everything was settled, Yang Chaoye nodded with satisfaction and prepared to leave to carry out the next work plan.

Just as Yang Chaoye was about to step out of the office, Su Cheng's cell phone suddenly rang.

He quickly picked up the phone and habitually introduced himself: "Hello, this is Su Cheng."

A familiar yet unexpected voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Mr. Su Cheng, I'm Niu Bijian. Excuse me, but are you free now? I want to discuss some cooperation matters with you."

Hearing the name "Niu Bijian", Su Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He did not expect that the boss of Jardine Matheson, who was well-known in the business world, would call him personally, let alone that the other party would express his willingness to cooperate.

After all, the relationship between Suzhou City and the Jardine Matheson Group has always been quite delicate, and they even became competitors at one point.

Take the previous demolition of Dashaling Village as an example. There was considerable friction between the two sides as a result. Jardine Matheson even mistakenly believed that Sucheng's blocking of the demolition was out of malicious intent.

However, Mr. Shen Bi later mediated and both sides took a step back, thus preventing the situation from deteriorating further.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the resentment between Jardine Matheson and Suzhou City will be difficult to resolve.

"Mr. Niu Bijian, you contacted me suddenly. Is there anything you need my assistance with?" Su Cheng asked directly but politely.

"Mr. Su, are you free now? I have some important and necessary matters to discuss, and I hope to meet with you in person." Niu Bijian did not directly reveal his purpose, but just said this.

"Of course I am free. I am in my personal office on the top floor of the Su Group Building. You can just come over. Tell the front desk my name and I will arrange for someone to guide you up." Su Cheng did not refuse Niu Bijian's request for a visit. The Hong Kong business community is not a big circle. Everyone sees each other every day. There is really no need to make the relationship too tense.

"Okay, Mr. Su, please wait for me for half an hour. I will be at your place within half an hour." Niu Bijian said directly.

The distance between Jardine Matheson's headquarters and the Su Group Building is only a few hundred meters away. The entire Central area is also quite compact, and almost all the headquarters of Hong Kong's top companies are gathered here.

Such geographical advantages make communication and cooperation among industries more convenient.

The half an hour mentioned by Niu Bijian might just be a cautious consideration out of business etiquette. In fact, based on his usual style, he would most likely arrive earlier.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Cheng said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng called the front desk of the building and told them that Mr. Niu Bijian, the head of Yihe, would be here later, and they could just bring him up to the office then.

Sure enough, just about twenty minutes later, Su Cheng caught a glimpse of Niu Bijian's familiar figure walking towards him through the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.

According to the information provided by Xiao Ai, this Jardine Matheson boss was supposed to step down in 1983.

But things are unpredictable, especially in this world that is changing rapidly due to the intervention of Suzhou City. The trajectory of Jardine Matheson has been profoundly rewritten.

As for Niu Bijian's future, including when he will step down, it is now shrouded in a fog of uncertainty."

In Su Cheng's heart, he no longer considered Niu Bijian as an opponent.

After all, although Jardine Matheson has deep roots in Hong Kong, its business scope is mainly limited to the local area.

The business empire built by Suzhou has long crossed national borders and reached the world.

The strength and vision between the two cannot be simply summarized as a rivalry, but like the gap between a stream and the sea, the gap is obvious.

"Mr. Niu Bijian, please take a seat." Su Cheng said as he made a gesture of invitation and led Niu Bijian to sit down on the sofa.

This was the first time that Niu Bijian stepped into Su Cheng's private office. He looked around and was quite curious about the layout and atmosphere here.

The world map and group photo in the reception room caught his attention, but he did not go over to look at them. Instead, he sat down facing Su Cheng.

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry for disturbing you by visiting me." Niu Bijian said modestly.

"No, no, I'm honored that Mr. Niu Bijian is here. Actually, I'm free and haven't had a long chat with you for a long time. I miss you very much. I guess the Jardine Group must be thriving recently and developing quite smoothly, right?" Su Cheng responded with a smile.

Both of them were just being polite, but in fact, everyone understood the situation very well.

"To be honest, Mr. Su Cheng, I came here this time just for the matters of Jardine Matheson Group." Niu Bijian rarely showed a bitter smile at this moment.

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Niu Bijian encountered some difficulties?" Su Cheng suddenly became curious.

He did not pay much attention to Jardine Matheson, so he did not know what was happening there.

After all, now in Hong Kong, even when facing Huifeng Group, he does not feel any pressure at all. (End of this chapter)
