People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

It took another half an hour to get from the Governor's Palace to Hutchison Plaza.

Originally, it only took a few minutes to get to Hutchison Plaza from Shek Kip Mei, and Su Cheng also planned to arrange today's itinerary in this way.

However, the invitation from Governor MacLehose interrupted his travel plans.

Since the governor has invited us, we have to give him face.

Arriving at Hutchison Plaza, at the entrance, Su Cheng could already feel that although it was lunch time, the flow of people at Hutchison Plaza was not as high as when it first started its trial operation.

As the Rolls-Royce drove into the underground parking lot, Suzhou could feel the decrease in the flow of people even more.

In the past, even on weekdays, there were three to five hundred cars parked in the underground parking lot during lunch time.

But now, looking around Sucheng, having two hundred cars is already very good.

I took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the first floor. As expected, the number of people shopping at this time was at least half of that on previous weekdays.

This is actually normal. After the novelty wears off, it is impossible for people to come here frequently. In addition, Hutchison Plaza is located in Kowloon Tong, a suburb of Hong Kong. Before the opening of the subway, it was rather troublesome to come here. It is normal that the number of visitors on weekdays decreases.

Su Cheng did not rush to the office building of Hutchison Plaza. Instead, he walked around the commercial building and had a meal of authentic Hong Kong cuisine in the restaurant on the third floor.

There were quite a few customers eating in this store at this time.

There was only one private room in the restaurant, and there were no guests at the time, so Su Cheng booked it directly.

As a public figure, he doesn't like too much attention to be focused on him when he is eating.

"It is my great honor to have you, Mr. Su." Seeing the wealthy man Su Cheng coming to their restaurant to eat, the restaurant owner was immediately excited. He kept shaking hands with Su Cheng and forgot to let go. He even stayed behind to serve Su Cheng and poured tea and water for him.

"Boss, how is your business now? It seems to be a lot slower than before." While waiting for his meal, Su Cheng simply started chatting with the restaurant owner.

"In the past two weeks, our restaurant's business has obviously dropped, and it is most obvious on weekdays. For example, now our business is only about half of the same period last month. When it is the busiest, there are even dozens of people waiting in line outside for meals. However, now the business is still very hot on weekends. As long as I can maintain this flow of people, I will be very satisfied.

I have been in the catering industry for more than ten years. To be honest, the business here is no worse than that in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and other places. The most important thing is that our rent here is two-thirds cheaper than that in the city center, which greatly improves our profit margin. So far, I am still very satisfied. "

When it comes to this issue, the restaurant owner smiled with satisfaction.

Hutchison Plaza is located in the suburbs, and the rent is definitely not comparable to that in the city center, especially in places with large traffic such as Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok. The rent is ridiculously high for these small businessmen.

Hutchison Plaza has just started to attract external investment and is located in the suburbs, so the rent certainly cannot be too expensive.

Of course, the starting rental price is set at a price that is only slightly different from the shop rent in the city center, but the current rent is directly 50% off.

In the next two or three years, when everything in Hutchison Plaza is on track and the flow of people is stable and good, the rent will be able to rise. "As long as you are satisfied, I see that the flow of people seems to have decreased a lot, and I thought your business was much worse." Su Cheng said with a smile.

“I heard from them that after the official opening, there will be celebrities coming here for commercial performances every day, and our merchants are already prepared to offer discounts. By then, the flow of people to Hutchison Plaza will definitely increase significantly, and it may be even higher than when it first started the trial operation!

When we first opened the trial business here, it was better than when I opened a restaurant in Yau Ma Tei. I made a lot of money last month and the beginning of this month. Although business is starting to slow down, the profit is still good. Most of the merchants in Hutchison Plaza feel the same way. If the official opening is better than the trial business, then we merchants will be happy. "The restaurant owner has a lot of expectations for the future.

"We will maintain the flow of people to Hutchison Plaza, and the most important thing for you merchants is to maintain your quality and service. We are all complementary. If your business is good, we will be satisfied with the rent we collect. If your business is not good and many tenants cancel their leases, we will have no rent to collect. So everyone's goal is actually the same, which is to work together to improve the business atmosphere here, make everyone like this place, and come here to play when they have time. Then we will be successful."

It was rare for Su Cheng to speak with such a serious expression. In the past, when facing these outsiders, his face was always full of smiles.

"Mr. Su, I fully agree with what you said. You are worthy of being a big boss. What you say is different." The restaurant owner said respectfully.

At this time, the dishes came up one after another.

Su Cheng brought six bodyguards with him today and asked them to eat with him. He had been with these bodyguards for so long that he had already regarded them as his friends.

If he treats them as friends, these bodyguards will work even harder for him.

After all, what is Su Cheng's status and what are their status? They are not from the same class at all, but Su Cheng treats them like this. How can they not be moved!
Fried crab, Hakka salted chicken, signature big pot shark's fin, baked lobster with sauce, roast suckling pig, grouper, grilled abalone and so on.

Su Cheng also randomly ordered all the signature dishes of this Xiangjiang restaurant.

In fact, he couldn't eat much by himself, so the bodyguards had a treat.

After finishing his meal, Su Cheng wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin with great satisfaction.

The dishes in this restaurant are really delicious. The chef is very experienced. At least in Su Cheng's opinion, the food is delicious and tasty.

After eating and drinking, Su Cheng asked the boss to come up and pay the bill.

"Mr. Su, this meal is on my table. It's our honor that you can dine in our restaurant. How can we charge you money?" However, the restaurant owner did not intend to charge Su Cheng money.

The restaurant owner was indeed surprised that Su Cheng actually came to their place for dinner, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

He can brag about this to others for a long time.

After all, he was just a small figure, while Su Cheng was the richest man in the world. It was impossible for the two to have any contact under normal circumstances. But today, Su Cheng ate in their restaurant and chatted with him for a long time.

"How can this be possible? I understand you all, it's not easy, but this little money is nothing to me, I still have to give it." Su Cheng smiled and refused the restaurant owner's invitation. (End of this chapter)
