We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Just as Su Cheng was chatting with these billionaires, he noticed that Chen Zhibai was leading Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, two big bosses, in through the entrance.

After saying a word to the wealthy individuals sitting in the guest seats, Su Cheng quickly went to greet them.

Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji were both veteran Hong Kong tycoons. When Su Tianhe was alive, he often spoke to Su Cheng about these two, considering them Su Cheng's elders. Although Su Cheng's wealth far surpassed theirs now, he still treated them as equals.

Guo Desheng and Li Zhaoji, while both being top-tier billionaires, also had a very close relationship. They even collaborated to establish Sun Hung Kai Properties, which had already become a real estate giant in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Li, welcome to you both. Your presence at today's press conference is truly good news for us!" Su Cheng said with a smile, shaking their hands.

"Mr. Su is truly young and promising. I didn't expect you to create a ranking list. It's quite unexpected. It makes me wonder where I rank in Hong Kong," Guo Desheng said with a laugh.

"Yes, I also want to know if my ranking is ahead of or behind Lao Guo's," Li Zhaoji added with a smile.

"The time for the press conference is approaching. As for the rich list, I'm actually not clear about it. It was put together by the Oriental Press Group. If the ranking list can earn your trust, it will be a success for them," Su Cheng said helplessly while inviting them to sit in the guest seats.

Regardless of who they were, everyone wanted to glean information about the rankings from him, which was enough to show that the rich list created by the Oriental Press Group was indeed attracting a lot of attention.

Sure enough, even individuals with the status and position of Mr. Guo and Mr. Li couldn't avoid competing and striving for the top.

However, this was also a good thing. At least, from the current perspective, the effect of this rich list was very good.

In addition to the seventy-plus specially invited guests, tonight's press conference also featured live broadcasts by Jia Yi Television and media coverage from publications such as the *Oriental Daily News* and the *Knightly News*.

Besides these, the *Oriental Daily News* had also randomly selected a batch of people to give away tickets to as audience members, totaling more than eight hundred people, most of whom were present tonight.

This was a rare opportunity to be with so many business magnates, and basically no one would miss it.

"Governor, your esteemed presence makes tonight's press conference shine!" Su Cheng said with a smile, personally going out to greet him.

As for Chen Zhibai, he didn't have time to come out and greet them at this moment. It was almost eight o'clock, and he needed to go on stage to prepare.

"Mr. Su, I'm truly sorry. I was a bit busy with some matters tonight, so I arrived a little late. Fortunately, I wasn't too late," the Governor said apologetically.

"It's alright. Your presence, Governor, is a great honor for me," Su Cheng said, shaking his head and smiling as he led MacLehose inside.

The Governor's seat was arranged to the left of Su Cheng's seat.

With the arrival of MacLehose, all the invited guests for today had arrived.

Seeing Su Cheng leading MacLehose in, the wealthy individuals present were also very surprised.

They hadn't expected that the Oriental Press Group had even invited the Governor himself this time.

Therefore, everyone stood up to greet MacLehose.

Normally, it was difficult for many people to even meet him once, but they didn't expect to see the big boss of Hong Kong at this press conference today. It was quite a surprise.

Billionaires were already top-tier figures in Hong Kong. Therefore, as these people greeted MacLehose, he responded with elegance one by one.

At this time, Su Cheng looked at the time, and the hands on the clock had already reached eight o'clock in the evening.

Chen Zhibai on the stage was also beginning his hosting duties.

"Distinguished guests, I am honored to invite everyone to our Oriental Press Group's press conference. The rich list is a list that has never appeared anywhere in the world. We at the Oriental Press Group are deeply honored to create the world's first rich list. All the guests present today will also be witnesses of history.

The rich list, as the name suggests, is a ranking list of the wealthy. The significance of its appearance is to reflect the change in people's thinking: from conservative wealth-hiding to positively facing wealth; from conservatism to civilization and openness, which shows the great improvement of mass media, the popularization of education, and other ideological tools; it marks that people's attitude towards wealth and economy is moving towards a new era.

The emergence of this list has several impacts: it is conducive to expanding the amount of information; it is conducive to enterprises to clarify the direction of economic development, have the ability to grasp the current economy, and improve competitiveness; it is conducive to improving people's enthusiasm; it is conducive to relevant people to think about the economy, etc.…"

Chen Zhibai began his opening remarks, and everyone quieted down, listening carefully to Chen Zhibai's speech.

He had made thorough preparations for this press conference. This off-the-cuff opening speech lasted for more than twenty minutes before it ended.

Despite this, the guests present did not feel that Chen Zhibai was verbose. On the contrary, everyone basically listened to Chen Zhibai's speech attentively.

After all, this rich list was being launched for the first time in the world, and everyone was still relatively unfamiliar with it.

Although the meaning of the list could be understood from the words themselves, everyone wanted to understand more and deeper things.

At this time, the cameras of Jia Yi Television were also pointed at the stage. The live broadcast of the press conference was being broadcast by Jia Yi Television in Hong Kong, Macau, and other places. Even Singapore could receive it.

At this time, in front of the television, more than a million people were watching the rich list press conference broadcast live by Jia Yi Television.

This press conference, even if not attended in person, was being transmitted to thousands of households.

Every word of Chen Zhibai was transmitted to the audience's ears, allowing everyone to understand more deeply what this rich list was and what its role was.

On the scene, although everyone listened carefully to his speech, the wealthy individuals were more eager to see the rich list made public. Their curiosity was about to be suppressed.

However, with their status, they couldn't just cause a commotion like ordinary people.

Therefore, at this time, the wealthy individuals both wanted to know their rankings and couldn't urge Chen Zhibai. Their hearts were in a state of suppressed anxiety.

"Everyone, after saying so much, I won't waste everyone's time. Now, please give the warmest applause to invite our Governor, Mr. MacLehose, to come on stage and reveal the list!" Seeing the expressions of the wealthy individuals in the guest seats, Chen Zhibai smiled slightly and said the words that everyone was most concerned about.
