Chapter 86 is so shocking, the largest investment in Xiangjiang’s history!
On July 18, the Hong Kong Governor MacLehose personally called and hoped to sign an investment contract with Sioux City on the 20th. At the same time, the Hong Kong Governor's Office will invite Hong Kong and the world's mainstream media to witness the signing. .
Su Cheng had no objection to this and agreed to their proposal.
Hutchison Real Estate Design Institute happened to call and tell Su City that the most suitable location for building a dock has been determined.
So Su Cheng called Mailihao.
"Mr. Governor, I hope that this signing ceremony can be held in Tuen Mun. We have determined the construction location of the pier and we can hold a groundbreaking ceremony there." Su Cheng said directly.
“No problem, I was originally planning to place the signing ceremony at the Hong Kong Government House. Now that construction can start there, let’s hold the investment signing ceremony in Tuen Mun!” MacLehose readily agreed. .
In the following time, many mainstream media received invitations from the Hong Kong Government, inviting them to attend an important press conference on July 20.
The first thing everyone thinks of is, what important news can there be about Shankara like Tuen Mun?
However, since the invitation was personally sent by the Hong Kong Governor's Office, they naturally knew that there should be big news, but no one knew what the news was yet.
All they know is that the press conference will be held at 10 a.m. on July 20, 7 kilometers southwest of Lung Mun Road, San Shi Street, Tuen Mun.
Everyone felt very strange about this location. Some people even arrived there in advance, only to find that it was almost deserted.
This has made the media confused.
However, since the time has not come, naturally there is no rush.
Anyway, when the time comes, someone from the government should set up a guide point at San Market Street in Tuen Mun. If you can’t find it then, just look for them, because they have also had the experience of holding meetings in deserted places in the past. .
The time soon came to the 20th.
Today in Tuen Mun, the wind is sunny, the sky is blue, and the sea water is clear.
At this time, a very large rostrum was built near the sea, 7 kilometers southwest of Tuen Mun. There were more than a dozen chairs on the rostrum.
Behind the rostrum is a red billboard about 10 meters long and 3 meters high. It reads in Chinese and English: Groundbreaking Ceremony of Xiangjiang Petrochemical Industry Base!
In front of the rostrum, there is an oversized red carpet, covering hundreds of square meters of land around it. In the middle of the red carpet, there is a dirt pit. In the middle of the dirt pit, there is a foundation stone.
These were all arranged by Su City. In his previous life, he had seen many similar groundbreaking ceremonies on the news. At that time, he was quite envious of the leaders who could hold shovels and shovel the ground for the foundation stones.
Now, he has also become the protagonist.
Su Cheng got up early today, arrived here at eight o'clock in the morning, and then directed the workers to set up the site.
Due to the relatively large scale of Hutchison Real Estate Company, Sioux City has borrowed a lot of people from there. Of course, the salary will be settled according to the normal salary.
The importance of energy forces Sioux City to pay attention to it.
In future generations, no matter how the top ten companies in the world change, oil companies will always be on the list, and it is normal for them to even dominate the list.
For example, in 2005, among the top ten companies in the world in terms of turnover, BP ranked second, Exxon Mobil ranked third, and Shell ranked fourth were all oil companies.
In 2010, Shell ranked second, Exxon Mobil ranked third, BP ranked fourth, and Sinopec ranked seventh, all were oil companies.
In 2015, Sinopec, Shell, PetroChina, ExxonMobil, and BP occupied the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places respectively. It can be said that oil companies absolutely dominate the list. .
In 2020, Sinopec, PetroChina, Shell, Saudi Aramco, BP, and Exxon Mobil were ranked 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 8th respectively among the world's top 500 companies. 11 people.
Look, this is the awesomeness of oil companies. There is no reason for Sioux City to give up this piece of cake.
Building Tianwen Petroleum Company into one of the top ten or even number one companies in the world is Sioux City’s future goal.
That’s why he invested heavily in building an oil base. Of course, this investment is long-term and segmented. It is impossible for him to spend billions or even tens of billions to build an oil refining base all at once.
As for the short term, while the price of crude oil is still at a low, buy crude oil in large quantities first and make short-term profits.
The time was finally approaching ten o'clock in the morning.
At this time, His Excellency Mr. MacLehose of the Hong Kong Governor's Office has arrived at the scene with important officials from Hong Kong. All the invited reporters have also arrived, including the chartering king, Shen Bi, Jardine Chairman Nie Bijian, Big bosses such as Zheng Yutong and Li Zhaoji were all invited by Mai Lihao as guests.
Obviously, he hopes that with Su City’s leadership, more companies can make more important contributions to the development of Hong Kong.
As for Su City, Hutchison Whampoa’s top executives Wei Li and Richard Chaxin, Su Group’s top executives Yang Chaoye, Zhang Li and others, as well as Tianhe Bodyguard Company’s Wang Hai, Wu Ge, Jia Ouyang Hai from Li Bank and others also arrived at the scene.
The scene was very lively.
"Mr. Governor, you are finally here." Su Cheng stepped forward to shake hands with Mailihao and smiled.
“Fortunately, I’m not late after all.” Mailihao replied with a smile.
"Mr. Governor and all government officials please take a seat." Su Cheng nodded.
Under the rostrum, many media reporters were discussing, and everyone was very doubtful about the groundbreaking ceremony of the Xiangjiang Petrochemical Industry Base.
Before this, they had not received any relevant news at all.
Although the Hong Kong Governor's Government said many years ago that it would develop the oil industry, everyone knows that the results were not good.
What is the sudden emergence of the Xiangjiang petrochemical industry base today?
The big bosses who were invited looked at the location of the business cards on the podium and couldn't help but think.
Just because the two seats in the middle of the rostrum, one on the left and one on the right, bear the names of Governor Maliho and Sioux City respectively.
It is not difficult to see that today’s protagonist is Su Cheng.
The time soon came to 10 o'clock.
Su Cheng and his senior executives have sat on the right side of the rostrum; while Mailihao and senior Xiangjiang officials have also sat on the left side of the rostrum.
Malley set up the microphone in front of him and took the lead in speaking: "I believe you are all very curious about what we are going to do here today. Yes, as I wrote in the words below, where we are , will build a very large oil base in Hong Kong
After friendly discussions between me and Mr. Su Cheng, Mr. Su Cheng agreed to invest tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the next few years to develop our Hong Kong. The oil industry, and after verification by our government, Mr. Su does have this strength."
Before Mailihao finished speaking, the reporters below seemed to explode in an instant.
Ten billion Hong Kong dollars of investment, what is this concept?
In this era, even an investment of tens of millions is considered a big investment.
A 320 million investment like the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel is already a rare large investment in Hong Kong.
But now, how much money is Mr. Governor Maliho talking about?
Ten billion Hong Kong dollars! Did you hear that right?
If this investment project is true, it will definitely be the largest investment in Hong Kong’s history and is unique!
Not to mention Xiangjiang, even in the world, it can be called a super investment. Once this news gets out, it will definitely shock the world business community.
This news is so shocking and exciting.
