Chapter 80 The big guys gather together!
At 6:30 pm on July 10, a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI drove out from the Barker Road Villa and headed to the Government House in Mid-Levels, Central.
This Rolls-Royce is actually not expensive. Sioux City only spent $50,000 to buy it.
Since April 1978, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar has continued to depreciate. Now in July, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar is around 4.7 Hong Kong dollars per US dollar.
In other words, this Rolls-Royce Phantom VI cost Sioux City about 235,000 Hong Kong dollars. This small amount of money is a big deal for Sioux City.
In fact, the recommended retail price of Rolls-Royce Phantom VI is US$25,000, but this price is simply unaffordable to ordinary people. Because Rolls-Royce has limited production capacity, dealers do not accept the suggestion. It is normal for the price to double. .
After all, he is now considered a big shot. It cannot be justified that his car is too bad when he is away from home.
And his license plate is a number plate without the prefix No. 8. The entire license plate has only one number 8.
He spent nearly 300,000 Hong Kong dollars to take this license plate a few days ago. It can be said that the license plate is more expensive than the car.
The villa in Sioux City is not far from the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion. Although the mountain road is very winding, it only takes about 3 kilometers to reach the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion.
At this time, outside the Hong Kong Governor's Office, there were already many luxury cars parked, such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, etc. There were not many ordinary luxury cars such as BMW and Audi.
But think about it, someone who can be invited by the Hong Kong Governor must be a big-shot person.
Su Cheng's appearance attracted the attention of many people, but Su Cheng didn't pay attention. Under the leadership of the staff of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, he entered the Hong Kong Governor's Office.
This is the first time Su Cheng has come here. Although he has passed by here many times before, he has never stopped. After all, in his capacity at that time, if he wanted to see the Hong Kong Governor, others would not necessarily do so. .
Today, things are different. His influence has become so great that no one in Hong Kong knows about him. Even the Governor of Hong Kong will only treat him as an equal when facing him.
Under the guidance of the staff, we turned left and right, and finally came to a spacious auditorium.
At this time, dozens of people had come to the auditorium, mostly foreigners and about a dozen Chinese.
There are not many people like Su Cheng who are only in their early twenties, and they are obviously brought to the world by their elders.
The appearance of Su Cheng attracted the attention of everyone present. Who is Su Cheng? He is a top rich man who suddenly appeared. If he is rich, few people here dare to compete with him. Comparable.
"Mr. Su, welcome to your arrival." Hong Kong Governor Maliho came over to greet him immediately, with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Governor, I am very honored to be invited by you." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Before coming to the Hong Kong Governor's Office, Su Cheng had already learned about Mailihao's deeds from Xiao Ai.
As for MacLehose's character, if you don't look at it from a political perspective, he is actually a very good city manager.
Although MacLehose, a diplomat, lacked administrative experience in the colonies, he did not have the burden of the colonies. Instead, he was generally regarded as one of the most outstanding and most beloved Hong Kong governors in history. Public opinion He even described his days as Governor of Hong Kong as the "MacLehose Era".
During his tenure, MacLehose promoted drastic reforms, which brought about profound changes in the social outlook of Hong Kong.
His reforms involved housing, integrity, education, medical care, welfare, infrastructure, transportation, economy and society, including the ten-year housing plan, the development of new towns, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, nine-year free education, the construction of underground railways and local administration. Reform and other important policies and constructions were launched one after another during his tenure.
These policies not only directly improve the living standards of citizens, but also enhance the sense of belonging of Xiangjiang people to Xiangjiang. Therefore, if we only look at its urban management capabilities, it is very good.
"Mr. Su is really young and promising. Let's chat in private sometime." Mai Lihao continued.
"Just right, if Mr. Hong Kong Governor is free tomorrow, I can take some time to come over. He may be busy in a while." Su Cheng said with a smile. "Tomorrow? I have no work arrangements between two and four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if Mr. Su can make it?" Mailihao thought for a while and replied.
"No problem, I will go to the appointment on time!" Su Cheng smiled.
As the governor of a big city, Mailihao's daily work schedule is very full. It is quite rare to be able to spare two hours from working time to meet with Su City.
After Mailihao spoke to Su Cheng, he turned around to greet the others.
At this time, Su Cheng began to look at the entire auditorium carefully.
Chinese bigwigs such as Charter King, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, Shao Yifu, Huo Yingdong, etc. are all among them.
As for Li Chaoren, his current strength is not up to the level of a big boss, and can only be regarded as a level slightly inferior to the Charter King and others, but he is also here tonight.
Among the foreigners, Huifeng Bank Shen Bi, Jardine Matheson Twisted Bank, Swire Bank Shi Yoke and so on.
Of course, Su Cheng actually only knew Shen Bi and Nie Bijian. After all, one was a big brother in the financial industry in Hong Kong, and the other almost became his rival.
"Mr. Su, we haven't seen each other for only a month. I didn't expect you to take down the entire Hutchison Whampoa Bank in one fell swoop. It really opened my eyes!" The Charter King greeted Su Cheng with a smile. .
"It's just good luck. I believe Mr. Bao has almost taken down the Wharf, right?" Su Cheng responded with a smile.
"Then let me borrow Mr. Su's good words." The chartering king smiled and didn't say anything else.
After all, the competition with Yihe made him exhausted, and he paid attention to the opponent's situation almost all the time.
Subsequently, Chinese bigwigs such as Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, Shao Yifu, Huo Yingdong also greeted Su Cheng one by one, and everyone knew each other.
Chinese businessmen are relatively united in this era. It can be seen from the scene that more than a dozen Chinese bigwigs are almost gathered together to chat.
After Su Cheng said hello to the Chinese people, he walked towards Shen Bi. At this time, Shen Bi also looked at Su Cheng.
"Mr. Shen Bi, we meet again." Su Cheng smiled.
“When we meet again, you are embarrassing our British-owned enterprises!” Shen Bi said jokingly.
"This is not that serious, it is just a normal business transaction." Su Cheng replied with a smile.
"Come, let me introduce everyone to you." Shen Bi pointed at the other foreigners and introduced them to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng has this intention. In the business world of Xiangjiang, it is very necessary to get to know important people in Xiangjiang. Maybe one day you will have to deal with them.
Obviously, some foreigners are full of hostility towards Su Cheng, but Su Cheng doesn't care. If they are friends, they will drink together, and if they are enemies, they will do it!
"By the way, Mr. Shen Bi, speaking of which, I'm going to talk to you about something!" After Shen Bi introduced him, Su Cheng said to Shen Bi.
"I am basically at the Huifeng Bank headquarters building during working hours. Mr. Su is a distinguished customer of Huifeng Bank and can come to me at any time." Shen Bi said with a smile.
Nowadays, Hutchison Whampoa’s funds are basically transferred through Huifeng Bank. As the boss of Hutchison Whampoa, Su Cheng is naturally regarded as a VIP of Huifeng Bank.
The reason Su Cheng wanted to talk to Shen Bi was because he planned to borrow a sum of money from Huifeng Bank. This amount of money would cost at least several billion Hong Kong dollars, otherwise Su Cheng would not need to borrow it.
