Since returning to Hong Kong, Su City has been immersed in the warmth of family and enjoyed a full week of quiet time before setting off to visit its subsidiaries such as Su Group and Hutchison Whampoa Group to gain an in-depth understanding of their latest developments and operations. .
During this period, he devoted almost all his leisure time to his family and enjoyed family happiness.
During this long week-long vacation, Su Cheng specially arranged a day to drive to the Deep Water Bay Villa and spend an unforgettable night with Guan Jiahui.
Since she officially entered the school of Xiangjiang University in early September, Kwan Jiahui's life has been fulfilling and colorful. Not only has she continued to deepen her comic career, she has also shouldered the responsibility of being a student and has been diligent in her studies. .
Therefore, her daily life is mostly occupied by school courses and activities, and she mostly lives on campus.
At this moment, the knot in her heart has been resolved, and she is no longer troubled by her father's abandonment.
Time passed day by day. On this day, Su Cheng first inspected the world's tallest building project under construction, and then returned to his private office in the Su Group Building.
This building is progressing very quickly. According to the current progress, it should be completed by 1982.
At that time, he will be the owner of the tallest building in the world.
This tall building is not only the pride of his business empire, but also an important milestone in his personal career.
After the inspection, Su Cheng drove back to the Su Group Building in the city center and went straight to his spacious and bright private office.
In the office, everything is in order, and the city scenery outside the window is panoramic.
Not long after he sat down, Yang Chaoye pushed in the door, and the two had an in-depth exchange and discussion on some of the group's recent important decisions.
As the topic deepens, time passes unconsciously.
When everything settled, Yang Chaoye nodded with satisfaction and prepared to leave to implement the next work plan.
Just when Yang Chaoye was about to step out of the office threshold, Su Cheng's mobile phone suddenly rang.
He quickly picked up the phone and introduced himself habitually: "Hello, I'm Su Cheng."
A familiar yet unexpected voice came from the other end of the phone: "Su Hello, Mr. Cheng, my name is Niu Bijian. I’d like to excuse you, are you available now? I have something to discuss with you about cooperation.”
When I heard the name “Nie Bijian”, Su Cheng couldn't help but be slightly startled.
He did not expect that the well-known Jardine executive in the business world would actually call him personally, nor did he expect that the other party would offer to cooperate.
After all, the relationship between Sioux City and the Jardine family has always been quite delicate, and they even became competitors at one time.
Take the previous demolition incident in Dashaling Village as an example. This resulted in a lot of friction between the two parties. Jardine even mistakenly believed that Sioux City blocked the demolition out of malice.
However, Mr. Shen Bi later intervened and both parties took a step back, thus preventing the situation from deteriorating further.
Otherwise, I am afraid that the resentment between Yihe and Su Cheng will be difficult to calm down.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, you contacted me suddenly. Do you need my help with anything?" Su Cheng asked directly and politely.
"Mr. Su, are you free now? I have some important and necessary matters, and I hope to interview you in person." Niubijian did not directly disclose his intention, but just said this.
"Of course I'm free. I'm in my personal office on the top floor of the Su Group Building right now. Just come over directly. Mention my name to the front desk and I will arrange for someone to guide you up." Su Cheng Tui Bijian's request for a visit was not rejected. The business community in Xiangjiang is not very big, and everyone sees each other without looking up. There is really no need to make the relationship too tense.
"Okay, Mr. Su, please wait for me for half an hour. I will be at your side within half an hour." Nian Bijian said directly.
The distance between the Jardine Matheson headquarters and the Su Group Building is only a few hundred meters away. The entire Central area is also quite compact, with almost all the headquarters of Hong Kong's top companies gathered together.
This geographical advantage makes communication and cooperation between industries more convenient.
The half hour mentioned by Nui Bijian may just be a cautious consideration in business etiquette. In fact, with his usual style of conduct, he is likely to arrive earlier.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Cheng said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng called the front desk of the building and told them that Mr. Nie Bijian, the top class manager at Yihe, would come over later and they could just bring him up to the office.
Sure enough, only about twenty minutes later, Su Cheng caught the familiar figure of Nuan Bijian walking towards this side through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office.
According to the information provided by Xiao Ai, the Jardine executive should have faced the fate of resigning in 1983.
But things are unpredictable, especially in this changing world due to the intervention of Sioux City, the trajectory of Jardine Matheson has been profoundly rewritten.
As for Niibi Jian’s personal future, including when he will step down, it is now shrouded in a fog of uncertainty. ”
Su City no longer considers Nipijian as an opponent in its mind.
After all, although Jardine Matheson has deep roots in Hong Kong, its business scope is mainly limited to the local area.< br>
The business empire built by Sioux City has already crossed national borders and touched the world.
The strength and vision between the two can no longer be summarized by a simple rivalry, but like a stream and the sea, the gap is obvious.
"Mr. Nie Bijian, please sit down." Su Cheng said as he made a gesture of invitation, leading Nie Bijian to sit down next to the sofa.
This was the first time that Nie Bijian stepped into Su Cheng's private office. He looked around, curious about the layout and atmosphere here.
The world map and group photo in the reception room caught his attention, but he did not go over to look at it. Instead, he sat down facing Su Cheng.
"Mr. Su, I have taken the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me if I have caused any inconvenience." Niu Bijian said while maintaining a humble attitude.
"Where, where, I am honored that Mr. Nie Bijian can come. In fact, I have nothing to do. I haven't had a long talk with him for a long time. I miss him very much. Jardine Group must have been in the spotlight recently. It's booming and developing quite smoothly, right?" Su Cheng responded with a smile.
The two of them were talking politely, but in fact everyone understood it very well.
"To be honest, Mr. Su Cheng, I came here this time just for the matters related to the Jardine Group." At this moment, Nian Bijian rarely showed a wry smile.
"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Nian Bijian encountered some difficulty?" Su Cheng suddenly became curious.
He didn't pay much attention to Jardine Matheson, so he didn't know what was going on there.
After all, now in Xiangjiang, even when facing the Huifeng Group, he does not feel any pressure at all. (End of this chapter)
