We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Greeting them was a middle-aged man of about 50 years old.

He was wearing a suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and cultured, with the air of a Confucian businessman.

“You must be Su Tianhe's son, Su Cheng. I even saw you when you were a child. I didn't expect you to grow up so much in the blink of an eye. Time really waits for no one!” the middle-aged man said with emotion.

“Hello, Uncle. I heard that you are a friend of my father's. I've come to recognize a senior now,” Su Cheng said with a smile.

“Don't just stand outside, come in and sit down,” the middle-aged man said.

So, Su Cheng and Yu Xing walked into the house one after the other.

After everyone was seated at the tea table, the middle-aged man said, “It seems you don't know much about me, so let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Xuanyu. I'm originally from Hong Kong. Thirty years ago, I studied at Harvard Business School in the United States with your father. At that time, because we both came from Hong Kong, we became the best of friends during our university years. After graduation, your father returned to Hong Kong to develop his career, while I came here because my family had someone doing business in London.

“After that, I won't say much about your father's situation. Later, he founded the Su Group in Hong Kong. As for me, I've been doing business in London for many years, and now I can be considered to have achieved some success. I currently hold the position of President of the Hong Kong Federation of Commerce and Industry, as well as a nominal director position in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.”

His introduction seemed ordinary and brief, but it had already revealed his identity.

Could someone who could be the President of the Chamber of Commerce be simple?

Of course not.

Such people are generally big shots.

Moreover, only people with very good reputation and prestige in the circle would be elected as the President of the Chamber of Commerce.

There are quite a few Hong Kong businessmen in London, and it is indeed a bit awesome to stand out from so many impressive entrepreneurs and become the President of the Hong Kong Federation of Commerce and Industry!

Of course, Su Cheng didn't think that his assets could be more than his, after all, he was someone with a cheat.

Calculating his net worth, the Wharf portion has been confirmed to be sold for 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Let's estimate the Su Group at 300 million first. The 24% stake in Hutchison Whampoa, even according to the price Simon Keswick said, should be worth 6 to 700 million. That's almost 2 billion already.

And just yesterday, after winning the lottery, he now has more than 500 million in cash.

If he didn't calculate it, he wouldn't know, but after calculating, he felt that he was simply awesome.

Although he can't compare with Li Ka-shing's level for the time being, Su Cheng feels that it won't be long before he surpasses Li Ka-shing.

It wasn't Fish Leong who brought him such courage, but Xiao Ai.

“I see. I didn't expect Uncle Chu to be my father's best friend. Alas, speaking of my father, I didn't expect him to leave so young,” Su Cheng said with some sadness.

“Please accept my condolences. I still have some influence in London. If you encounter any problems here, you can always come to me,” Chu Xuanyu patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and shook his head.

He also felt very sorry for Su Tianhe's death. How many true friends can one have in a lifetime? Su Tianhe could be considered one of them, but now, they are separated by life and death so early.

Su Cheng didn't want to talk too much about his father with Chu Xuanyu, as it would make him recall the past, so he said directly, “Uncle Chu, I really have something I want to ask you about.”

“Oh? Tell me, as long as I can help, I will try my best,” Chu Xuanyu said with a smile, somewhat surprised by Su Cheng.

“Uncle Chu, I want to buy this building of yours. You can name a price, as long as it's the market price,” Su Cheng said directly.

“Uh, I say, Little Su, your words are too sudden. I'm not mentally prepared yet. What? You want to buy my building? Do you know how much this building is worth?” Chu Xuanyu said in surprise.

“That's right, I want to buy this building of yours. As for the market price, I just arrived in London and I'm not familiar with this place. Uncle Chu, please tell me,” Su Cheng said seriously.

“To tell you the truth, my building is currently worth about 10 million pounds based on the current London property prices. This is not Hong Kong dollars, but pounds. Converted to Hong Kong dollars, it's about 90 million Hong Kong dollars,” Chu Xuanyu said with a smile, seemingly wanting to see Su Cheng's surprised expression.

“The price is still acceptable. If I offer 10 million pounds, I wonder if Uncle Chu can sell it to me?” Su Cheng compared it with the Tianyuan Building he bought in Hong Kong and felt that the price was fair, so he said.

A building like this, if it were located on the shore of Victoria Harbour in Central, would definitely be worth this price.

“This building of mine is not for sale, but I can introduce you to a place to buy, and because the other party is in a hurry to raise funds, the current price is sold at 20% off the market price,” he said helplessly after hearing that Su Cheng was actually willing to spend 90 million Hong Kong dollars to buy it.

This building is the headquarters of his group and a manifestation of his strength in London.

It would be too troublesome to move the group headquarters, and he doesn't like moving elsewhere.

Moreover, he, holding the status of an elder, wouldn't go so far as to earn the money of the younger generation.

Chu Xuanyu has been in London for more than twenty years and pays relatively little attention to Hong Kong. Apart from knowing the news of Su Tianhe's death, he hasn't understood much about other news.

Therefore, he naturally doesn't know Su Cheng's true strength in Hong Kong and still thinks that Su Cheng only inherited Su Tianhe's inheritance.

As for Su Tianhe's situation, he knows it relatively clearly. The two often make transatlantic phone calls. Even if the Su Group is strong, it is impossible to casually take out 90 million Hong Kong dollars.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked again, “Did you sell the shares of the Su Group?”

At this time, he still thought that the reason why Su Cheng had money was because he sold some of the Su Group's shares.

“Of course not, Uncle Chu. Not only did I not sell the shares, but I even recovered all the stocks from the outside. Now the Su Group has completely withdrawn from the stock market and is completely privatized,” Su Cheng explained.

“I didn't expect you to have such courage,” Chu Xuanyu said with increasing surprise.

“By the way, Uncle Chu, where is the place you said you would introduce me to buy? I need to buy a better place, such as near the Tower of London, preferably on the banks of the River Thames,” Su Cheng asked. He didn't plan to buy casually, after all, buying real estate also depends on future investment value.

“Don't worry, the geographical location is good, it's about one kilometer away from my building, right across the street from St. James's Church, Garlickhythe, on the banks of the River Thames.”
