Chapter 338 Mai Lihao’s Invitation
Early the next morning, Su Cheng asked the driver to take Guan Jiahui to school.
Although the reporters from the international mainstream media have almost left, Su Cheng doesn’t want to show up so quickly.
After all, being the richest man in the world is a very exaggerated title. Even if reporters from other places run away, if Su Cheng appears in front of the public now, it will have a very sensational impact.
However, just when Su Cheng was planning to rest at home these days, a phone call broke his plan.
The call came from the Governor's Mansion, and it was from Mailihao himself.
On the phone, MacLehose invited him to go to the Government House at two o'clock in the afternoon. As for the specific matter, he did not elaborate on the phone.
Mai Lihao is the current top leader in Xiangjiang. Most of Su City's industries are in Xiangjiang, so he still needs to be given face.
At noon, accompanied by Gillian and A Mei, Su Cheng had a pleasant lunch.
Although Governor Mailiho invited him over, he was a little curious about what was going on, but he was not worried about anything.
Gillian and Ami, since they had the closest contact with Su Cheng, moved to the second floor, each with a room.
As for why they are not allowed to move to the third floor, it is naturally because it is inconvenient sometimes.
Guan Jiahui and Zhong Chuhong basically come here every once in a while. It would be a very embarrassing thing if Gillian and Ami both lived on the third floor.
Last night, Gillian and Amei paid close attention to what was going on upstairs, so they vaguely knew that the relationship between Guan Jiahui and Su Cheng was not as simple as being a brother and a sister.
Therefore, Gillian and Ami worked very hard today, almost feeding Su Cheng one spoonful at a time, but Su Cheng refused.
It's okay to let them feed grapes. Feeding is only needed by babies and patients who can't take care of themselves.
At 1:40 in the afternoon, Su Cheng directly called the bodyguards and set off for the Governor's Mansion.
He did not take the particularly conspicuous Rolls-Royce, but a very ordinary Volkswagen.
However, although these appear to be ordinary cheap cars, they are actually modified.
There are a total of five cars parked in the garage of the villa in Su City.
Except for one Rolls-Royce and one Land Rover, the other three are ordinary cars.
These five cars have all been specially modified, especially in terms of safety. The tires are all specially made, the glass is bulletproof, and a layer of steel plate is added to the body. Even if it is shot with a submachine gun, It may not be able to be swept through in a short period of time, and the safety is very high.
These five cars are equivalent to five movable metal fortresses. Their mission is to block deadly attacks for their owners.
The disadvantages are that the car is heavy, not light enough, and consumes fuel, but these are not problems for Sioux City.
Three ordinary cars drove out from the Su family villa and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
At 1:50, Su Cheng's motorcade successfully arrived outside the Governor's Mansion.
Today, Governor Mailihao actually came out to greet Sioux City in person.
Perhaps this is the aura brought to him by the world's richest man, so that even Mailihao had to put down his identity and come out to greet him.
Beside Governor Mailihao, there was a foreigner who Su Cheng also recognized. He was Niibi Jian, Taipan of Jardine Matheson.
"Hey, what is he doing here too?" Su Cheng thought in surprise.
"Mr. Su, welcome your arrival and make the Governor's Palace shine!" Mailihao said with a laugh, even using a Chinese idiom.
As the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose has served in Hong Kong for 7 years. During these seven years, he also learned a lot about Chinese culture and had a very in-depth understanding of Chinese civilization.
Malley is silent, calm, approachable and proficient in Chinese.
So, it is very normal for him to know idioms.
"Hello, Mr. Su." Ni Bijian, the chief executive of Jardine Matheson, also greeted Su Cheng politely.
However, Zui Bijian didn't talk much. After all, Su Cheng was not familiar with him. Strictly speaking, he had become a business competitor before.
During the Battle of Wharf, Su Cheng and Nie Bijian were not on good terms at the time.
"Hello, Mr. Governor, Mr. Niubijian." Su Cheng smiled and shook hands with them one by one.
Su Cheng did not intend to say too much before he knew why they called him over.
"Mr. Su, come in and sit down!" Mailihao made a gesture of invitation.
Su Cheng nodded, followed Mailihao and Nie Bijian into the Governor's Mansion, and finally came to Mailihao's office.
This is not the first time Su Cheng has come to his office. Speaking of which, he has been here several times.
So, Su City is quite familiar here.
Finally, the three of them arrived at the reception area in the office.
"Mr. Su, congratulations on becoming the richest man in the world. You are the pride of our city!" After sitting down, Mailihao praised again.
After all, this is what media around the world are rushing to report. In other words, the whole world has recognized the richest man in Su City, not just one or two media talking about it.
This can indeed be regarded as the glory of Xiangjiang!
The birth of the world's richest man shows that the business environment in Hong Kong is very good.
In this way, many investors will be attracted to invest in Xiangjiang, making Xiangjiang more prosperous. This is the benefit that Su Cheng's becoming the world's richest man will bring to Xiangjiang.
"Yes, Mr. Su can be called the number one person in Xiangjiang's business community. Congratulations to Mr. Su!" Nie Bijian waited for Mailihao to finish and then said immediately.
The tone of his words was actually a bit flattering.
Su Cheng glanced at Nui Bijian in surprise, is this still the arrogant chief executive of Jardine Matheson?
Even if he becomes the richest man in the world, there is no need to compliment himself like this. After all, Yihe and himself have no business dealings.
Unless he wants something from himself.
Su Cheng immediately thought of the key to the problem.
When the charter king invited him before, he told him that Jardine wanted to find a taker to sell the Wharf shares that Jardine had already owned.
Now, Su Cheng is the person most likely to be able to buy their stocks.
Maybe this is the reason why Nie Bijian is here today?
Thinking of this, Su Cheng was no longer so curious.
Why did Nie Bijian meet Su Cheng here?
It’s very simple. After all, Jardine Matheson is a British-owned foreign company, and Malihose is also the British representative in Hong Kong. If the British-owned foreign company has something to do, if Malihose can help, he will naturally help.
"Mr. Governor, Mr. Niubijian, this is too exaggerated. I know my own things. The world is so big. Only when you go out will you realize how small you are. There are so many rich people in the world. "Invisible rich people never reveal their wealth. On the surface, I do have a lot of wealth, but I think there may be many people with more wealth than me!" Su Cheng said modestly.
