The process of awarding the award was extremely grand. The purpose of the Singapore government was obvious, which was to make this matter a fuss so that everyone would know that Sioux City had another level of relationship with them.
What Singapore lacks most now is investment. They are trying their best to attract more foreign-funded enterprises to invest in Xiangjiang.
The incident in Su City can be regarded as setting an example.
In this regard, Su Cheng did not object, but tried his best to cooperate with them.
After the awards were given, there was also a question-and-answer session for reporters.
These are all things that Su Cheng didn't know clearly before he came here, and it felt like he was going to kill them first and tell them later.
However, Sioux City did not blame them. This was also good for him personally. At least it let everyone know how much the local government valued him and wanted to influence his situation in Singapore. Industry must be considered.
Back at the villa, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Not long after, Sioux City received a call from Melis.
On the phone, Melis reported to Sioux City that he had submitted his resignation to Haw Par Company.
Although the chairman of Haw Par Company tried his best to retain him, Melis had already made up his mind. Naturally, it was not something that the chairman of Haw Par Company could stop, so he had no choice but to let him go.
For this reason, Melis needs to stay at Haw Par Company for two weeks. During these two weeks, his main job is to hand over work to the vice president.
Today is August 13th, which means that Melis will not officially leave Haw Par Company until the end of August.
"Mr. Mailis, I'll wait for you in Xiangjiang!" Finally, Su Cheng said to Mailis with a smile.
He is also looking forward to what changes will happen to China Bus with the addition of Melis.
According to his understanding, before Melis joined Haw Par Company, the total market value had just exceeded 10 million U.S. dollars, but now, Haw Par Company's total market value was close to 100 million U.S. dollars.
In other words, since he joined, the total market value of Haw Par Company has increased eighty-nine times!
Although the market value does not mean that the company can really make so much money, it also proves that Haw Par Company has continued to grow and develop over the years until it encountered a development bottleneck.
There is no way, their products are only popular in the Chinese circle. It is too difficult to break through this bottleneck.
Despite this, Melis still made suggestions to Boss Hu of Haw Par Company, hoping that the company could diversify its development and use the form of overtaking in corners to break through this bottleneck.
This is also the reason why Haw Par Company has cooperation with Cheung Kong Holdings.
"Mr. Su, are you ready to return to Xiangjiang?" Melis asked in surprise after hearing Su Cheng's words.
As far as he knew, Su Cheng had only been in Singapore for two days.
"Yes, I am here just for you, Mr. Melis. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is natural for me to go back." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing Su Cheng's words, Mailis was slightly moved.
After all, Sioux City is also famous as the richest man in the world. Being able to fly over to Singapore specifically for him is very sincere.
Unlike Li Ka-shing, although he was sincere, his original purpose was not to invite him to join Cheung Kong Holdings, but to ask him about management problems, but he only received his answers. He was inspired to invite him to join the Yangtze River Industrial Group.
In comparison, Su Cheng's sincerity is even better. Not only did he come from more than two thousand kilometers away just for him, but he also did enough homework before coming and investigated some of his circumstances.
"Okay, Mr. Su, please take good care of me in the future!" Malist said an idiom in Chinese.
Although English is commonly used in Singapore, ordinary people are more likely to use Chinese. Therefore, after staying in Singapore for a long time, Melis has also learned some Chinese. Although he cannot communicate directly in Chinese, he can I know a lot of vocabulary. After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng contacted the captain of the private jet and asked him to apply for the ten o'clock route tomorrow morning. Su Cheng went to bed early.
With Sioux City’s current close relationship with the Singapore government, applying for a route is basically approved in seconds.
There is nothing to do here, so there is no need for him to stay in Singapore.
Perhaps Su Cheng was busy outside all day today, so he slept very comfortably. It was not until about eight o'clock in the morning that Su Cheng woke up.
I called the captain again and confirmed that the departure time would be ten o'clock in the morning. The Singapore Aviation Administration is very good at doing things. They will directly approve when Sioux City applies.
After checking the time, Su Cheng calmly ate breakfast and watched the news for a while.
As expected, the news that he was awarded the "Honorary Citizen of Singapore" last night has been reported by major news media.
At this time, on the table in front of him were "Oriental Daily News", "Lianhe Zaobao", "Straits Times", "Xin Min Daily News", "Business Times", "Daily News", etc. wait.
The headlines in these newspapers, not surprisingly, are all related to Su City.
Turn on the TV, Channel 8 is also playing news about Su City, and it is also video news about Su City at the awards ceremony.
At this time, ordinary citizens knew that Sioux City had come to Singapore for a visit.
In Singapore, many young people have already regarded Sioux City as their idol.
So, when they learned that Sioux City was in Singapore, many young people in Singapore were asking where Sioux City was.
They are looking forward to meeting Su Cheng and their idol.
The same Chinese, the same young people, Su Cheng has already won the highest honor.
Such a person is not an idol. Who is an idol?
However, what they didn’t know was that when they knew that Su Cheng was in Singapore, Su Cheng was already preparing to return to Hong Kong.
After watching the news, Su Cheng looked at the time. It was already nine-twenty in the morning.
It’s only a ten-minute drive from them to the airport, so it’s not a rush.
Moreover, Sioux City’s plane is a private plane. It is different from ordinary passenger planes. It does not need to arrive at the airport an hour or two in advance to wait for the flight. It is enough to arrive before departure.
Of course, it's okay to delay the flight time in Suzhou City, but it's just not necessary.
"Let's go back to Xiangjiang." Su Cheng stood up from the sofa, stretched, and said to the bodyguard Lao Liu and the others with a smile.
The group got into a car driven by Li Guoqiang and headed to Paya Lebar Airport in Singapore.
Last night, he had already told Mr. Li and the others that he would return to Xiangjiang today.
So, Su Cheng does not need to say goodbye to them anymore.
After ten minutes of driving, the car soon arrived at Paya Lebar Airport.
What surprised Su Cheng was that when their car stopped in front of the plane, they actually saw Mr. Li and the others standing under the plane. (End of this chapter)
