We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

"Mr. Su, it's settled then. Since you've agreed, I'll personally handle your citizenship application later. From now on, Mr. Su will also be a part of our Macao!" Yizhi Di laughed heartily.

At this moment, he felt much closer to Su Cheng, considering him one of their own.

Previously, Su Cheng was ultimately just an outsider, at best a foreign businessman.

Although Yizhi Di couldn't thoroughly investigate Su Cheng's wealth, he had a general understanding of it.

Su's Group, Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric, Tianwen Oil Company, Kerry Bank, Tianhe International Security Company, Tianyuan Investment Company, Dalli Logistics Company, Nami Entertainment Company, Tianqiong Semiconductor Company, and so on. It could be said that they were involved in almost every industry, except for a few.

If these industries were to invest in Macao, Macao's economy could reach a new level. The impact would be immense.

"It's my honor to have the Governor personally handle my citizenship application!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Yizhi Di didn't say much and directly called in a staff member from the Governor's Office, whispering something to him.

The staff member nodded several times and quickly left the meeting room.

In less than two minutes, the staff member returned from outside, holding a citizenship certificate and two certificates issued by the Macao Civil Affairs Bureau and the Public Security Police Bureau.

With the Governor's Office handling the citizenship application, it was naturally not as complicated as ordinary application procedures. Su Cheng didn't even need to provide any information. The Macao Governor's Office directly handled Su Cheng's citizenship, it was that simple.

"Mr. Su, this is the citizenship certificate we have processed for you. From now on, Mr. Su is a Macao citizen." Yizhi Di laughed heartily.

The processing speed was simply amazing, as if they were afraid Su Cheng would change his mind. It seemed they had already prepared in advance.

Su Cheng solemnly accepted the simple citizenship certificate and the two certificates with both hands. The citizenship certificate even had the seal of the Governor's Office directly stamped on it.

The other two certificates, one was a residence certificate from the Macao Civil Affairs Bureau, and the other was a residence certificate from the Public Security Police Bureau. The place of residence was directly placed at the Macao branch of Hutchison Telecom. No need to look, it was obvious that it had been prepared in advance.

It could be seen that the Macao Governor's Office had put in a lot of effort. Even in Hong Kong, Su Cheng had not received such treatment.

In this era, Macao didn't have resident identity cards yet. It wasn't until the 1980s that Macao resident identity cards were officially launched. Ordinary people didn't have citizenship certificates either, so Su Cheng was considered a special person.

"By the way, Mr. Su currently doesn't have a temporary residence address in Macao, so I have decided to place Mr. Su's residence address at your company address. Mr. Su can change this at any time. If you want to change it, just let me know, and I will handle it properly for you," Yizhi Di said with a smile after seeing Su Cheng solemnly accept the citizenship documents.

"In that case, I will have to trouble the Governor," Su Cheng nodded.

"Now that Mr. Su has become a citizen of Macao, we can truly be considered one of our own," Yizhi Di said again.

"Of course, I will also need the Governor's care in the future when doing business in Macao," Su Cheng stood up and shook hands with Yizhi Di, who had also stood up.

Yizhi Di had just been transferred from Portugal and naturally didn't understand Chinese, but his English was fluent. Su Cheng's English level was also not bad, so the communication between the two didn't require the assistance of a translator.

However, the previous Governor, Li Andao, perhaps because he had served in Macao for a long time, could speak fluent Cantonese. When he met with Su Cheng before, he communicated entirely in Cantonese.

After the two sat back in their respective chairs, Yizhi Di continued: "Now that the citizenship matter has been settled, Mr. Su should have agreed to take on the position of Chief Economic Designer of Macao. I will mention this matter to all senior Macao officials in the Macao Municipal Government next, and a vote will be held to decide. If there are no surprises, Mr. Su's appointment as Chief Economic Designer of Macao should be successful. Mr. Su will have to wait for a while for this."

Su Cheng nodded. He naturally knew that since even the Governor agreed to this matter, it was almost certain to happen. Although a vote was required, who would oppose something that two consecutive Governors had approved? That would be going against the Governor.

Yizhi Di had only recently taken office, and Su Cheng estimated that no senior Macao official would dare to object. After all, everyone understood the principle of 'the first bird gets shot'. Those who could sit in the position of senior Macao officials were all seasoned veterans.

Moreover, Macao was just a small city with a population of only two hundred thousand. Su Cheng, the world's richest man, agreeing was considered a great honor for Macao.

"If there are no surprises, I will also fully support Macao's economic development. Although Macao's market is small, if the economy here can be revitalized, it will be a market with excellent purchasing power. During this time, I will also have my subordinates prepare to fully enter the Macao market. By next year, doubling Macao's economy will basically not be a problem. At that time, I also hope that the Governor can take care of us more. If there are any problems, you can call me directly, and I am always at your service," Su Cheng naturally knew how to repay the Macao Governor's Office for their sincerity.

Macao's geographical location was excellent. Although its economic development seemed average now, it would be a treasure trove once the economy in the north developed.

Su Cheng was starting to lay out his plans now, so he could gain a foothold in Macao earlier.

This was a win-win cooperation, not just a one-sided effort by Su Cheng.

Macao's current economic volume was actually not large. After all, it was just a small city with a small population and area. In addition, the overall level of economic development was several levels behind Hong Kong. Doubling Macao's economy in one year was really not a difficult task for Su Cheng.

Therefore, Su Cheng's personal assets were enough to抵得上抵得上 more than one Macao's annual economic output.

This was Su Cheng's confidence. If he really fully supported Macao's economic development, doubling it was not difficult.

Once Hutchison Whampoa and Su's Group brought their subsidiaries to invest and develop, they could provide too many jobs. At that time, Macao's current number of unemployed people might not be able to meet the demand! (End of this chapter)
