We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#495 - Procrastination
In present-day Macao, many textile factories have very outdated weaving machinery, mostly brought over after being淘汰 from Hong Kong.
Disorderly and outdated factories are a common sight in Macao.
Precisely because of this, apart from downtown Macao, the messy, dirty, and poor environment in the suburbs is truly an eyesore.
In the eyes of many Hong Kong people, Macao is simply Hong Kong's backyard.
"Governor, with all due respect, when we drove by just now, I noticed that even on the Macao Peninsula, on the outskirts of the city center, there are many factories. Some factories are even constantly emitting black smoke, and tall chimneys are everywhere, which seriously affects the aesthetics of the city center.
After all, Macao's area is too small. Personally, I think that if Macao is to develop industry, only light industry is suitable. Moreover, the Macao Peninsula itself is not large and is densely populated. If the factories on the Macao Peninsula are relocated to Taipa and Coloane Islands, and industrial zones are re-planned on the islands, the heavily polluting and outdated industries can be eliminated. This would not only greatly improve the environment of the Macao Peninsula but also promote the development of Macao's tourism industry.
Furthermore, Macao has a very big drawback, which is its over-reliance on Hong Kong. As a tourist city, almost all of Macao's overseas tourists transit through Hong Kong. There are not many overseas tourists who arrive directly in Macao. The ultimate reason is that Macao lacks an international airport, which is also the biggest reason why Macao's tourism industry cannot break through its current bottleneck."
Su Cheng did not immediately agree to the Macao Governor's proposal. Instead, he pointed out the biggest problems currently facing Macao.
The Macao Airport, according to historical trends, would not officially start construction until 1989 and would not officially open for operation until 1995.
After the airport opened, it brought a large number of international tourists to Macao.
It wasn't that Su Cheng didn't want to agree, but he felt that agreeing wouldn't be of much use.
After all, Macao was just a small place, and Little Ai didn't have much stored information about Macao, especially about Macao before the handover, with only some general information.
Therefore, Little Ai didn't have much information about Li Andao, only roughly knowing that he would be leaving office this year. As for which month he would leave office, Little Ai's information did not record it.
However, just when Su Cheng asked Little Ai to search for information about Li Andao's successor, he was surprised to find that the successor's information was much more detailed than that of the current Governor, Li Andao.
Among them, there was a record of the next Governor, Yizhidi, arriving in Macao on February 28, 1979.
That is to say, the current Governor should have less than a month, or even less than half a month, left in office.
However, judging from Li Andao's expression, he didn't seem to be aware of this.
In other words, it was possible that the new Governor, Yizhidi, was suddenly appointed as the Macao Governor.
And the young Li Andao should have other arrangements, but Li Andao might not have received the news from Portugal yet.
Therefore, even if he agreed to Li Andao now, what if the newly appointed Macao Governor overturned everything?
Although even the new Governor wouldn't dare to mess around casually, since Macao had invited him, Su Cheng would have to get more benefits.
For example, preferential tax policies and other conditions that would benefit him.
Su Cheng was unwilling to do something if he invested heavily but didn't get too many benefits.
Now, it wasn't just Macao that wanted Su Cheng to invest; the whole world wanted Su Cheng to invest.
Li Andao's support for Su Cheng didn't necessarily mean that the newly appointed Governor would support Su Cheng. What if the new Governor felt that the preferential policies that Li Andao had just agreed to were not cost-effective and intentionally canceled them? Then Su Cheng would really be drawing water with a bamboo basket.
Of course, Su Cheng also believed that no matter who was the Governor of Macao, they shouldn't dare to offend him.
But he also had to see the new Governor's attitude before making a decision. Anyway, the time for Li Andao's departure shouldn't be far away.
However, before the new Governor took office, he could start participating in the development of Macao's economy, such as the coverage of mobile signals.
As for other investments, he wasn't in a hurry. He would wait until the new Governor took office before rationally discussing the conditions.
For example, Su Cheng would see if he could fully participate in the construction of Taipa Island.
Macao was very close to Hong Kong, so it was very convenient to develop a career here and manage it.
For example, Ho, the King of Gambling, was born in Hong Kong but eventually had the title of Macao's King of Gambling.
Focusing on developing his career in Macao could still make him a super-rich.

After all, although Hong Kong had greater development prospects, the competition was also much fiercer.
"Mr. Su, I know what you said. The biggest problem Macao is currently facing is that businessmen's investment intentions are not high. Even if the super-rich invest, they are all investing in the gambling industry. But I don't want Macao to rely solely on the gambling industry. It should develop more comprehensively!" Li Andao sighed.
"Governor, let me be blunt. I am actually quite interested in Macao. I am also very interested in the title of Economic Chief Designer. However, this is a major matter after all, and I need to consider it. Because you also know that I have too many industries in Hong Kong. If I agree to you, I will need to spend a lot of time in Macao. Therefore, this matter is not a simple matter for me. I cannot easily agree to it, lest I end up in a difficult situation on both sides."
Su Cheng thought for a while. Since this Li Andao's term was not long, then he should delay for a while and talk to the new Governor after he took office.
Presumably, after the new Governor arrived, Li Andao would also have to hand over his work to Yizhidi.
And Yizhidi, who had just arrived in Macao, knew almost nothing about the affairs here and would definitely ask Li Andao, the predecessor, how to deal with the current Macao.
At that time, Li Andao would naturally mention the matter of the Economic Designer and the matter of bringing Su Cheng over to invest.
Su Cheng's idea was that the current Macao should not be changed first, and Li Andao should leave a mess for Yizhidi.
In this way, in order to change the status quo, Yizhidi would inevitably hope to get the support of Su Cheng, the world's richest man, just like Li Andao.
Otherwise, if Su Cheng agreed to a series of investments before Yizhidi took office and started to take action, then Su Cheng's importance in Yizhidi's eyes would not be so great.
Sometimes, the greater your importance, the better others will treat you, and they may even be more humble.
