"If so, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Governor." Su Cheng's eyes lit up after hearing what Mailihao said.
It looks like there is something going on.
The land in Xiangjiang, no matter where it is, is very worthwhile to acquire now.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the New Territories, Tai Po, Yuen Long, or Sha Tin, he will be willing to give him a piece of land on Lantau Island.
After all, the land currently in the hands of the Xiangjiang government is selling for one piece less.
Even the Governor of Xiangjiang, Mailihao, did not know what the future of Xiangjiang would be. Whether Xiangjiang would continue to be under British jurisdiction or whether it would be returned to the north was still a mystery.
Therefore, the current Xiangjiang government puts up many plots of land for auction every year. What is the purpose? Naturally it is for fiscal revenue.
Except for the part used by Xiangjiang, a large part of these fiscal revenues were eaten by the British in various ways.
There is no way. Xiangjiang is now controlled by the British after all. If people want to take advantage of the fiscal revenue here, there are many ways.
"I will talk to the Lands Department and ask them to determine which piece of land can be sold to you as soon as possible. Don't worry, Mr. Su!" Mailihao continued to say with a smile.
In fact, if Sioux City develops the automobile industry in Xiangjiang, MacLehose would also be very supportive.
After all, the Xiangjiang government does not intend to provide special support for the automobile industry. In other words, all taxes that should be paid must be paid.
The automobile company in Sioux City cannot develop, and it has little impact on their Governor's Mansion.
If it can develop, it will be even better, and it can continue to generate tax revenue for the Xiangjiang government.
"Okay, I'll wait for the good news from the Lands Department." Su Cheng nodded.
After that, the two talked about many things in Xiangjiang, including the development of which industries, etc.
Perhaps because Su City's status is constantly improving, Mailihao's attitude towards Su City is now becoming more and more polite.
"By the way, Mr. Su, there is one more important thing I want to tell you." Mailihao continued.
"Oh? Mr. Governor, please speak." Being regarded as an important matter by Mailihao, Su Cheng was instantly curious about what it was about.
"Mr. Su, please wait." After speaking, Mailihao stood up from the sofa and walked towards the bookcase.
Then, he took out what seemed to be an envelope from the bookcase.
Looking closer, it turned out to be an envelope, and there was a British royal emblem on the envelope.
"Mr. Su, this is what the royal family asked me to give to you. I just received it today. I originally planned to send it to you in person, but we happened to be participating in the trial operation of revising the early system, so I I'll simply invite you to come to the Governor's Mansion after the event, and then give you this envelope." After speaking, Mailihao handed the envelope in his hand to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng took the envelope with both hands and said with a smile: "Can I open it now and take a look?"
"Of course, this is for you."
So Su Cheng opened the envelope directly on the spot.
The content of the letter is actually very simple. It means nothing more than that Sioux City has not officially visited the UK. Her Majesty the Queen has officially invited Sioux City to visit the UK.
Indeed, although Su Cheng has been to the UK a few times, those were his own visits, and there was really no real visit.
Today, Sioux City is an outstanding figure in the world's business community. It is not surprising at all that the British royal family invites him to visit the UK. Previously, when Sioux City received the KBE knighthood from the Queen, Prince Charles personally invited Sioux City to visit the UK on behalf of the British royal family.
However, Su Cheng never went.
Now, they invited Su City again and sent the invitation letter in person. It seemed that they really wanted Su City to visit.
Of course, the invitation letter did not limit when Su Cheng could go to the UK. After all, how could one limit other people's time for this kind of thing? In this way, there would be no sincerity at all.
"Mr. Governor, this is the royal family?" After Su Cheng read the invitation letter, he raised his head and looked at Mailihao.
With Mai Lihao's identity, he must know something.
After all, MacLehose was the British representative sent to Hong Kong.
"Mr. Su, as far as I know, this is purely an invitation promoted by the British Chamber of Commerce. The purpose is just for Mr. Su to go over and communicate with the elites of the British Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the royal family also hopes to have an exchange with Mr. Su. Let's do some charity activities together, and I don't know about other things. Mr. Su will know about it if he goes there, but I don't know much." Seeing Su Cheng's confused expression, Mailihao explained briefly. For a moment.
Su Cheng nodded, and then said: "Please reply to me, Mr. Governor, I will find a time to go to the UK within this year."
Calculating the time, he has been there for a year I haven’t been to the UK for a long time. The last time I went to the UK was in June last year.
At that time, relying on the prophet, Sioux City made a lot of money in the World Cup, allowing him to have enough capital to start business layout. It can be said that this World Cup really contributed a lot to him. without.
Without the funds obtained this time, he would not have been able to acquire Hutchison Whampoa so smoothly, nor would he have had so much funds to stockpile crude oil, nor would he have achieved today's achievements at such a speed.
The European market has now become a very important market for Hutchison Whampoa Group and Su Group. The market size is even much larger than that of the Americas. It creates a lot of wealth for Su City every month. .
Now, it’s time to go there again.
However, Sioux City definitely has no plans to leave in the near future, as it is too late.
"Mr. Governor, that's it for today. I won't disturb you anymore. Let's talk when we have time." After looking at the time, Su Cheng stood up and said.
The two of them had almost finished chatting. As the governor of Xiangjiang, his work schedule was very full, so Su Cheng had no intention of disturbing Mailihao any more.
"Originally, I was planning to keep Mr. Su for lunch at the Governor's Mansion. Since Mr. Su has other matters to deal with, I won't keep Mr. Su here. The Governor's Mansion welcomes Mr. Su's arrival at any time." Maili Hao stood up, shook hands with Su Cheng, and said with a smile.
Su Cheng looked at the time and did not expect that it was almost half past twelve noon.
Coincidentally, he also planned to go to Hutchison Plaza, and he could also have lunch there.
He has not cared about the situation of Hutchison Plaza for a long time. Since Hutchison Plaza gradually stabilized, Wei Li has not continued to report the situation of Hutchison Plaza to Suzhou City.
On October 1, Hutchison Plaza will officially end its trial operation and usher in its official opening.
I don’t know what changes have taken place in Hutchison Plaza now.
It has been in trial operation for some time. Although it is the first urban complex in Xiangjiang, I think I have learned a lot of experience during this period to prepare for the official opening.
Today is September 20th, which is Thursday.
Under normal circumstances, there should not be many people on weekdays.
As for the situation, we won’t know until Su Cheng goes there. (End of this chapter)
