We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Since he had decided to approach Pao Yue-kong, Su Cheng directly called him.

"Mr. Pao, this is Su Cheng. I hope I'm not disturbing your rest by calling you so late?" Su Cheng said after the call connected and he heard Pao Yue-kong's voice on the other end.

"Oh, it's Mr. Su. Not at all, I was just watching TV," Pao Yue-kong said with a hearty laugh.

"I was wondering if Mr. Pao is free tomorrow? I'd like to discuss a business deal with you!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"If Mr. Su invites, I'd make time even if I didn't have any, especially since I don't have any important arrangements tomorrow. I'm curious, what kind of business is Mr. Su referring to?" Pao Yue-kong asked with some curiosity.

"Since Mr. Pao is available, let's discuss the details when we meet tomorrow!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"Alright, in that case, let's meet at the Universal Teahouse in Central at 9:00 AM tomorrow. It's a teahouse I own, and it has private rooms that are perfect for discussing business," Pao Yue-kong said.

Pao Yue-kong knew that young people like Su Cheng didn't like waking up too early, so he directly set the time for 9:00 AM.

"Okay, it's settled then. Mr. Pao, get some rest, see you tomorrow, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

After they both hung up, he checked the time. It was 9:00 PM, not too late.

Looking at the night view of Victoria Harbour from the window, it was still brightly lit, a scene of prosperity.

Su Cheng stretched, finished washing up, and went to bed early.

The next morning, he got up early.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Cheng first picked up a copy of the Oriental Daily News to read the news.

Now, Su Cheng was already a regular in Hong Kong media reports, and he was used to it, not showing any signs of complacency.

Su Cheng then looked at his own 'Chivalrous News Early Post'. In terms of news content, it was still somewhat behind the 'Oriental Daily News'.

This was normal, after all, not much had been invested in the 'Chivalrous News Early Post', there weren't many editors, and it was still in the early stages of development. It was already good that it published most of the major news.

At 8:40, Su Cheng left the house.

Before leaving, he saw that Cherie Chung was already practicing her singing, so he didn't plan to call her along.

Cherie Chung's voice was actually very suitable for singing. Although Cherie Chung from Su Cheng's previous parallel world didn't develop in the music industry, it didn't mean that this world's Cherie Chung couldn't develop in that direction.

After all, Su Cheng had a super abundance of classic songs in his mind.

Since Cherie Chung wanted to be a star, developing her into a triple-threat star seemed like a good idea.

The distance from the Barker Road villa to the Universal Teahouse that Pao Yue-kong mentioned wasn't far, only about three kilometers.

When Su Cheng arrived, even though there was some traffic due to the morning rush hour, it only took him ten minutes.

The teahouse was located on the second and third floors of a commercial building, and it was very large.

Drinking tea was a Hong Konger's favorite pastime. From the lobby, one could see that almost all the tables in the entire lobby were full.

Su Cheng directly gave the receptionist his reservation information, and a waiter led him to a private room on the third floor.

When Su Cheng opened the private room, he discovered that Pao Yue-kong was already waiting for him.

"Mr. Su, you're here, come and sit," Pao Yue-kong greeted warmly when he saw Su Cheng.

"Mr. Pao, were you already here?" Su Cheng asked.

"No, I just arrived," Pao Yue-kong said, shaking his head and smiling.

Afterwards, he instructed the waiter to bring the dishes.

Steamed spareribs with black bean sauce, black truffle mushroom dumplings, honey-glazed barbecued pork buns, fried glutinous rice dumplings, steamed rice noodle rolls with beef and cilantro, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce, and so on, were brought up one after another.

Clearly, Pao Yue-kong had already had the kitchen prepare everything, just waiting for Su Cheng to arrive.

"Here, we mainly serve Cantonese dim sum, which is very popular with the locals in Hong Kong," Pao Yue-kong said with a smile.

At the same time, he personally brewed tea.

"These steamed chicken feet are good, the texture is very fragrant," Su Cheng picked up a piece of steamed chicken feet with black bean sauce and ate it.

"Speaking of which, our relationship is even closer now. You and I are both directors of the HSBC Group, so we can cooperate more in business in the future," Pao Yue-kong said, pouring a cup of tea for Su Cheng.

"That's right, I'm here today to introduce business to Mr. Pao," Su Cheng tapped his finger on Pao Yue-kong, as a way of thanking him for the tea.

"Mr. Su, please speak," Pao Yue-kong said.

Speaking of which, these two were considered the richest people in Hong Kong, and could be considered the two heroes of Hong Kong.

As for who exactly had the most money, if calculated according to stock market value and asset valuation, Pao Yue-kong had a leading advantage.

Because Pao Yue-kong not only owned most of the shares of the World-Wide Shipping Group, but was also a shareholder of HSBC Bank. His assets added up to more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

And Su Cheng, with his undisclosed 500 million pounds, plus Hutchison Whampoa, the Su Group, Tianyuan Company, etc., also had assets of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

But if Pao Yue-kong subtracted his debts, he definitely couldn't compare to Su Cheng.

Because many of the assets under his World-Wide Shipping Group were developed in the form of loans, and they were still being repaid.

And the funds were basically borrowed from HSBC Bank.

This was also the reason why the World-Wide Shipping Group was able to develop so quickly.

So, it was hard to say which one was the richest man in Hong Kong.

However, once Su Cheng earned that money from oil, he would be able to become the undisputed richest man in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Pao should know about my purchase of crude oil, right?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.

Pao Yue-kong was a shareholder of HSBC Bank, so under normal circumstances, he should have attended the HSBC Bank's shareholders meeting, which was why Su Cheng asked this question.

"Buy crude oil? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this," Pao Yue-kong said, shaking his head.

"Could it be that you haven't attended the HSBC Group's shareholders meeting these past two days?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

"Although I am a shareholder of the HSBC Group, I usually don't like to attend the meetings over at HSBC Bank unless my interests are involved. Yesterday, Mr. Shen Bi did contact me and said that a private meeting was going to be held, asking if I would participate. It just so happened that the World-Wide Shipping Group had important matters, so I didn't participate," Pao Yue-kong explained.

So that's how it was, Su Cheng understood.

"The World-Wide Shipping Group under Mr. Pao's leadership should have a lot of super-large crude oil tankers, right?" Su Cheng asked.

"Of course, our group is not only the shipping company with the most ship tonnage in the world, but we are also the absolute number one in crude oil transportation," Pao Yue-kong said very proudly.

"The reason I came this time is to reach a cooperation with Pao Yue-kong. I need to purchase a lot of crude oil. It just so happens that Mr. Pao has a lot of crude oil tankers. It's all the same to me who earns this business. With the relationship between me and Mr. Pao, I immediately thought of giving the transportation cooperation to you guys," Su Cheng said with a smile.

"A lot? How much?" Pao Yue-kong asked curiously.
