We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Soon, evening arrived. Starting from five or six o'clock, the foot traffic at Whampoa Plaza reached a new high.

Hong Kong has a subtropical monsoon climate and a vibrant nightlife. There's a saying in Hong Kong: 'The later the night, the more exciting it gets,' which fully illustrates how rich Hong Kong's nightlife is.

In the evening, all the rooms in the six apartment buildings of Whampoa Plaza were lit up.

Of these six apartment buildings, the one used for offices, Building 1, is for commercial office use.

Building 2 is used for hotel operations.

Buildings 3 to 6 are for sale, making them the only properties for sale in Whampoa Plaza.

The decision to sell some of the apartment buildings was made after careful consideration.

Having stable families living in Whampoa Plaza on a regular basis is ideal. Even during slow seasons, at least these apartment buildings would be occupied, giving Whampoa Plaza a sense of liveliness.

Therefore, before the opening, the apartments in these four buildings quickly sold out.

Although Kowloon Tong is primarily a low-density residential area, there are still many people employed here. Broadcast Drive alone has thousands of employees, not to mention the many school teachers and other professionals nearby.

As a result, the apartments were very popular upon their release, attracting a great deal of attention.

The apartments, ranging from twenty to thirty square meters, were small but also had low total prices, which fit within the purchasing power of many people.

Many parents were with their children, or there were many couples, or many young people in groups.

Many customers held large and small bags in their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

In his previous life, Su Cheng had visited many urban complex malls, but even those with very high traffic didn't have as many people as Whampoa Plaza today.

Judging from the foot traffic on the first day, Whampoa Plaza's soft opening could be considered a success. This level of activity was even comparable to a formal opening.

And this was under the circumstances that the merchants in the mall weren't offering significant discounts yet.

When the official opening arrives, all the merchants in Whampoa Plaza will definitely offer even greater discounts, and some celebrities will be invited to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Otherwise, it would be no different from the current soft opening.

A soft opening, in essence, is a trial run to test market response, service processes, product quality, and other aspects to prepare for the official opening.

But the current scene? It doesn't look like a soft opening at all! The market response is too intense!

Of course, this is a good thing.

Moreover, Su Cheng had spent almost the entire day at Whampoa Plaza, and he could feel that although the foot traffic was beyond imagination, the entire mall hadn't experienced any major mishaps. The overall operation was quite good.

Most importantly, Whampoa Plaza had Hutchison Whampoa as a strong backer, capable of providing timely support in terms of manpower and resolving any issues that arose.

Furthermore, Whampoa Plaza also had Su Cheng, the behind-the-scenes big boss, who could mobilize the resources of all his companies.

This is Whampoa Plaza's confidence.

Even if others imitated Whampoa Plaza's urban complex, they wouldn't have such confidence.

Before heading back, Su Cheng passed by the shop of Cherie Chung's parents again.

This time, he finally saw Cherie Chung in the shop, helping with photos. Ah Jiao and Ah Mei were also there, but they seemed to be selecting suitable clothes to buy.

Su Cheng thought for a moment and had a bodyguard go over and tell the bodyguard he had assigned to Cherie Chung today that it was late and they should go back.

But he didn't go in.

Soon, Ah Jiao was the first to know, and her gaze turned to Su Cheng outside.

At the same time, Ah Mei and Cherie Chung quickly learned that Su Cheng was outside the shop.

However, they didn't show it.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic fans, Cherie Chung squeezed to the cashier and said to her parents, who were busy collecting money, "Mom and Dad, I have something to do and I'm going back first. I'll come again when I have time."

Cherie's parents were too busy to pay attention to her, so her mother said without looking up, "Go back, be careful on the road."

Watching the three girls leave the clothing store, Su Cheng then led the bodyguards to the underground parking lot.

At this time, the underground parking lot was already full of private cars of various brands, with many luxury brands such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.

No wonder these people had such strong purchasing power; too many well-off customers came tonight.

After getting into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, the driver started the engine and slowly drove out of the underground parking lot, heading towards the Su family villa!

After this whole day, although Su Cheng didn't know exactly how many people Whampoa Plaza could attract, judging from the foot traffic, the final results would definitely exceed Su Cheng's own imagination.

At all the entrances of Whampoa Plaza, the company had already sent people to specifically count the number of people entering. Even if there were discrepancies in the final results, they wouldn't be too large. The numbers would definitely be close to accurate.

The results of the data wouldn't be available until today's business was over.

Therefore, even though Su Cheng was now somewhat curious about how many people entered Whampoa Plaza today, he had to wait patiently.

Although it was already after eight o'clock in the evening, the road from Whampoa Plaza to the city center still had many private cars on the opposite lane.

In the past, because of Jia Yi Television, Su Cheng often returned home from Kowloon Tong around this time.

And on the way back then, he rarely saw many cars driving in the opposite direction.

But today, there were clearly many more vehicles in the opposite lane than before.

Without even thinking, he knew that the destination of these cars must be Whampoa Plaza.

The trip was smooth, and it only took half an hour to return to the Su family villa.

Not long after Su Cheng returned, Cherie Chung, Ah Jiao, Ah Mei, and the others also returned to the Su family villa.

With the protection of the bodyguards Su Cheng sent, nothing unexpected could happen to them.

Soon, it was half-past ten in the evening.

Just as Su Cheng was reading a book in the living room, the mobile phone rang.

"Boss, it's too unexpected. Today's foot traffic at Whampoa Plaza actually reached 62,500 people, more than six times our expected 10,000," Wei Li reported excitedly to Su Cheng.

Currently, Hong Kong's total population is only five million. More than 60,000 people account for one-eightieth of Hong Kong's total population. This data is indeed a bit exaggerated.
