The office building part of Harbor City covers an area of 4.4 million square feet, while the other part covers an area of 6 million square feet, including three high-end hotels, serviced residences with 500 rooms, a private club and more than 2,000 parking spaces.
Harbour City is a building complex composed of 4 main parts, namely Ocean Terminal, Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel, Ocean Center and Gateway Tower.
A commercial plaza of this scale will undoubtedly become the largest commercial entity in Hong Kong in the next few decades, and its status will be difficult to surpass.
This building complex has been planned and constructed since the 1960s, and it is finally completed, which is really rare.
Over the years, the Wharf Group has invested countless funds here, and it has just created a huge commercial complex of this scale.
It can be said that the previous owners of Wharf spent a lot of energy and financial resources in it.
Charter King and Sioux City, when Harbor City was about to be completed, successfully bought shares and became shareholders of Wharf, which undoubtedly captured the best interests of Wharf.
The two of them, together with their subordinates, strolled through this magnificent building, feeling the grandeur of this building.
The shopping area, the Beauty Kingdom, the brand clothing and leather goods area, the audio-visual equipment/home appliances area, the children's area, the casual wear/sporting goods area, restaurants, watches and jewelry, and other areas have all set bidding quantities. , and evenly distributed in every corner of the mall.
“Now in the entire commercial complex, only a small part of the interior area needs simple decoration, and then it will be completely completed. The remaining work is expected to be completed next week, that is to say , we can open at any time," the chartered boat king said excitedly as he walked.
Since successfully taking control of Wharf, he has devoted more energy to Harbor City.
On the contrary, his original main business, Global Shipping Group, is now mainly managed by his sons-in-law.
Therefore, for more than a year, the Charter King has devoted a lot of effort to Harbor City.
Now, seeing that this building is finally about to be launched, he is naturally extremely excited.
“I really look forward to the opening day coming as soon as possible. I believe Mr. Bao’s arrangement will be excellent. At that time, I will also arrange for my media, such as Jiayi TV, "Oriental" "Daily", "Chivalry News", etc., will increase their efforts to promote this place. In addition, Harbor City can also discuss cooperation with Jiayi Film and Television Group for activities such as celebrity performances, and I will give the greatest support!" Su Cheng smiled! said.
After all, he is also one of the bosses of Harbor City. The success here means that it can continuously create benefits for itself.
It is undeniable that the opening of Harbor City will have a certain impact on the business of Hutchison Plaza.
However, from the time Su Cheng proposed the idea of Hutchison Plaza to Wei Li, he had foreseen the situation today.
The core value of a complex such as Hutchison Plaza lies precisely in its ability to gather and attract people from surrounding areas. Just like Hutchison Plaza in Kowloon Tong, it not only serves the local area of Kowloon Tong, but also attracts Sham Shui Po more broadly. , Mong Kok, Wong Tai Sin, Shek Kip Mei and other nearby areas.
As for the passenger flow from other areas, it is just because there is no such commercial entity in Xiangjiang at present, so they are attracted there. It is purely an unexpected surprise.
Today, Hutchison Plaza has successfully built a strong brand influence, and the flow of people around it is enough to support its prosperity and development, making it self-sufficient.
As for the current possible monopoly business situation, Suzhou City knows that this situation is difficult to maintain for a long time. The market is always full of variables. Even if there is no strong competitor like Harbor City, other emerging commercial entities will eventually emerge to form a competitive landscape.
Therefore, Su Cheng is quite calm about the competition and challenges that he may face in the future. He knows that in the business world, innovation and adaptation are the keys to sustainable development.
On this issue, he has no fear, but is full of expectations and confidence for the future.
After all, many Hutchison Plazas are planned and built in the Xiangjiang area alone.
Sioux City and the Charter King inspected side by side, during which they had an in-depth discussion on the development blueprint and grand plan of Harbor City. At about 12 o'clock at noon, Su Cheng looked around and felt that the inspection was basically completed, so he smiled and bid farewell to the charter king.
"Mr. Bao, thank you for your kind company today, but I think I'm done shopping outside, so I'll go back first." Su Cheng said politely.
Hearing this, the Charter King immediately invited him enthusiastically: "Mr. Su, why not take this opportunity to enjoy a simple meal together? Today is indeed a day worthy of a small celebration for us."
Su Cheng declined with a smile: "Mr. Bao, I appreciate your kindness. But on the day when Harbor City officially opens, it will not be too late for us to celebrate grandly. Today, I have promised my family in advance that I will go back to accompany them. Let’s have lunch together.”
After hearing this, the Charter King immediately expressed his understanding and said with a hearty smile: "In that case, I will no longer try to keep you. Mr. Su, please walk slowly and look forward to the grand opening of Harbor City."
"Okay, Mr. Bao, as well as Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang, thank you for your company, we will see you later!" Su Cheng shook hands with everyone one by one and said goodbye, and then happily walked towards the parking lot, accompanied by bodyguards.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable back seat of the Jaguar, Su Cheng looked through the car window and glanced at the majestic and well-proportioned building complex in front of him, feeling indescribable satisfaction and pride surging in his heart. In his memory, Harbor City has always been the most dazzling and prosperous pearl on the commercial map of Hong Kong. Its liveliness and prosperity are known to everyone.
Looking forward to the future, even if many emerging commercial entities such as Times Square in Causeway Bay, SOGO Department Store, Langham Place, Pacific Place, 1881 Heritage, IFC Mall, Festival Walk, Landmark and so on have sprung up, trying to This prosperous place has a share of the pie, but Harbor City still firmly occupies the throne of Hong Kong's commercial "big brother" with its unique geographical location, rich business mix, and deep brand accumulation, which is difficult to shake.
Therefore, for Sioux City, this harbor city is not only a commercial miracle, but also a veritable cornucopia, gathering unlimited business opportunities and wealth, indicating a more brilliant future.
"Go back." Su Cheng whispered to the driver.
“Yes, boss!”
The driver responded and drove the luxurious Jaguar slowly away from Harbor City, elegantly blending into the bustling traffic outside.
The car passed through the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, as if crossing the boundaries of time and space, and soon arrived at Xiangjiang Island on the other side.
As the drive shortens, the warmth of home gradually approaches.
Ten minutes later, the Jaguar stopped steadily in front of the Su family villa on Baijiadao. (End of this chapter)
