We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#493 - Arriving in Haojiang
At 8 AM on February 19th, Su Cheng, along with his bodyguards, Ajiao, and Amei, appeared at the Central Pier.
Subsequently, a group of more than a dozen people boarded the yacht.
This yacht was a medium-to-large luxury yacht, originally used by a tourism company under Hutchison Whampoa to develop tourism.
Before the yacht had been in use for long, Wei Li, who had just taken office, drastically closed the perennially loss-making tourism company.
Therefore, this yacht, almost 95% new, was requisitioned by Su Cheng after he acquired Hutchison Whampoa Group.
Anyway, Hutchison Whampoa Group is now wholly owned by Su Cheng, which means everything in the group belongs to him, and he can use it as he pleases without any problems.
The speed of this yacht is not fast, around 25 knots, which is 46 kilometers per hour, so it takes about an hour to go from Central Pier to the Inner Harbour Ferry Terminal in Macau.
But Su Cheng was not in a hurry. If he took a passenger ship, it would take about the same time, so it would be better to sit on his own yacht comfortably.
The reason for bringing Ajiao and Amei out this time was at their strong request. They heard Su Cheng say he was going to Macau, and they wanted to go and see this gambling city.
In the beautiful country of America, although there is Las Vegas, a world-famous gambling city, both of them came from relatively ordinary families. Before coming to Hong Kong, they had never even left California.
And Macau is a world-class gambling city comparable to Las Vegas, so they asked Su Cheng to take them there to experience the charm of this gambling city.
Su Cheng satisfied their small request.
More than an hour later, Su Cheng arrived at the Inner Harbour Ferry Terminal in Macau with Ajiao, Amei, and a group of bodyguards.
Before coming over, Su Cheng contacted the Governor's Office to inform them of his arrival time, so there would be official cars from the Macau Governor's Office to receive them.
However, to Su Cheng's surprise, the Governor of Macau, Mr. Li Andao, actually came to the pier to greet Su Cheng in person, and he even brought the Governor's Office's honor guard for welcoming distinguished guests.
This was equivalent to elevating Su Cheng's status to that of a national leader.
"Mr. Su Cheng, I've finally waited for you to come. You are indeed as young and handsome as in the photos!" When Su Cheng stepped onto the pier, Li Andao went straight up to shake hands with Su Cheng and said enthusiastically.
Su Cheng had checked the general information of this governor before coming.
Li Andao is Portuguese, born in 1940, and was appointed as the Governor of Macau in 1974, becoming the youngest governor in the history of Macau. Therefore, Governor Li Andao was only 39 years old at this time.
"Thank you very much for the Governor's enthusiastic welcome," Su Cheng replied with a smile.
At this time, there were already many spectators inside and outside the pier, and fortunately, relevant security personnel were maintaining order to prevent them from coming in, otherwise Su Cheng would have been surrounded by the public.
Su Cheng is not only famous in Hong Kong, but also in Macau, his reputation is no less than that in Hong Kong.
After all, Macau and Hong Kong can be said to be two brothers, facing each other across the sea. Macau is sometimes even called the back garden of Hong Kong, and residents of the two places travel frequently.
"Mr. Su, let's get in the car. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Governor's Office to chat," Li Andao made a gesture of invitation and then said.
The peninsula naturally refers to the Macau Peninsula, which is also the most prosperous place in Macau, mainly focusing on tourism and service industries, supplemented by some backward industries.
The two islands are Taipa Island and Coloane Island.
The Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge connects the Macau Peninsula and Taipa Island. It was opened to traffic in 1974.
After the opening of the bridge, Taipa Island also began to develop.
As for Coloane Island, it is still a very barren island, mainly based on fishing villages.
In the future, Taipa Island and Coloane Island will eventually form a large island due to land reclamation, and this island will be greatly developed.
The car drove slowly on the streets of Macau. Compared with Hong Kong, there is indeed a world of difference here. There are almost no skyscrapers like those in Hong Kong.
Except for the main roads, the other streets are not very wide. Such a small place has a population of more than 200,000 people gathered here, so the population density of Macau is also very high.
From time to time, you can also encounter some messy small factories.
In terms of urban appearance, Macau in this era is indeed far behind Hong Kong.
Ten minutes later, the motorcade smoothly arrived at the Macau Governor's Office from the pier.
Getting out of the car, Su Cheng carefully looked at this official residence, which was not very large.
Compared with the Hong Kong Governor's Office, the Macau Governor's Office is indeed much smaller.
But after all, this place cannot be compared with Hong Kong, and the Governor's Office does not need to be built too large.
Hong Kong governs several million people, while Macau currently has only more than 200,000 people.
This is an elegant and solemn building with a unique European architectural style. The decoration and furnishings in the mansion combine Chinese and Western characteristics, full of antique charm.
The main entrance of the Macau Governor's Office faces Nam Van Lake, composed of three buildings and a garden, and has always been one of the landmarks of Nam Van.
"Awu, and Xiaoyang, Ajiao and Amei want to go shopping in Macau, you two follow them to protect them," Su Cheng instructed the two bodyguards.
When going into the Governor's Office to talk, naturally only Su Cheng can enter, and this chat will definitely last more than an hour.
Therefore, Su Cheng simply let Ajiao and Amei go shopping on the streets of Macau themselves.
However, Macau, like Hong Kong, also has many gangs, so personal safety still needs to be paid close attention to, so Su Cheng simply sent two bodyguards to follow and protect them.
"Received!" the two bodyguards said in unison.
"Young Master, you are so kind!" Ajiao and Amei were extremely moved after hearing this.
"Mr. Su, I'll send a staff member from the Governor's Office to drive you. Although Macau is small, you can't visit many places in just one or two hours of walking," the Governor of Macau, Li Andao, said with a smile.
"Then thank you very much, Governor!" Su Cheng smiled upon hearing this.
With a local snake from Macau leading the way, it must be very convenient for Ajiao and Amei to go wherever they want to play.
As for Li Andao, he didn't know what the identities of Ajiao and Amei were, but he guessed they should be Su Cheng's women.
Therefore, he was also afraid that something might happen to the two beauties in his territory, so he simply sent a government staff member to follow, so that he wouldn't be afraid of anyone being blind.
"Mr. Su, please," After Ajiao and Amei left the small garden of the Governor's Office, Governor Li Andao invited Su Cheng into the Governor's Office.
"Governor, you don't have to be so polite, I'll just follow you," Su Cheng said with a smile.
Li Andao was being too respectful, and he felt a little uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
