Fight to the third generation

With the current house price of [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars per square meter in the casino, it seems that everyone can easily afford it by then. However, the problem is that the local house price rises, which is likely to increase significantly in a short period of time with the rise of the gaming and tourism industry.

So what seems to be a good thing that people can make a profit will probably become a good thing for Su Yehao in the end, and a large part of the profit will flow into his own pocket.

This is understandable. The original intention of developing King Crab Island was not to do charity, and the tourists it attracts also bring economic benefits. It can indeed help many local people, and there will be a lot of taxpayers in the future.

As soon as the blueprint was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention around the world. It really made the gambling city overwhelmed by the addiction of being a star, and all kinds of news were flying everywhere.

Some people say that it is a bit similar to the Palm Island project. The concept is indeed similar, but one is a plant and the other is an animal, which is directly cross-species.

What's even more flamboyant is that Su Yehao had anticipated this, and specially hired the chief designer of Palm Island as a consultant.

The idea comes from the same brain, and it is normal to be a little similar.

When Su Yehao went out to visit his son in Baijiadao, he took advantage of the little guy's lunch break to bully Nong Qingying severely.

Satisfied Nong Qingying, who had just finished taking a shower, asked while retouching her lipstick: "There is a lot of noise in the newspapers, how sure is your big crab island of success? If it can be built, I will take this house as the It looks so interesting that you changed to an island set."

Su Yehao replied:

"It shouldn't be a problem, but the developers in the casino are worried that the land they bought before will fall into their own hands. I plan to divide them and bring in a few powerful companies, and the rest will be worthless. Can buy their land..."

Chapter 868 My son looks like the richest man

The proposal to establish a university in Hong Kong City has already been settled.

Bauhinia Institute of Technology is a purely public welfare project. Even if many real estate developers are thinking about the land on the west side of Hong Kong Island, no one really dares to stop it, or they will probably be scolded to death.

After all, Su Yehao even spent so much money, if anyone is still thinking about it and trying to get benefits from his own pocket, it will inevitably cause public outrage, so the whole thing goes smoothly, and there is almost no need to worry about it.

The King Crab Island project in the casino is different.

There are many interests involved in reclamation from the sea to build seven square kilometers of land, which is almost equivalent to a quarter of the size of the current casino city.

For example, residents in old urban areas will worry about the decline in their own housing prices, such as those who run hotels and shopping malls, will worry about their own interests being damaged.

Not only that.

It wasn't long before the gambling cards in the casino were released, and some projects were under construction. Seeing Su Yehao's big money, trying to build such a novel island, it was inevitable that people would have pink eyes and worry about being robbed of business.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yehao made it clear from the beginning, such as long-term rental housing projects, discounts for locals buying houses, or allowing the government to take 10% of the shares, etc., trying to promote in a good direction.

Even so, there is still a little trouble.

For example, several businessmen who teamed up to take pictures of gambling cards went to Papa Su and tried to find out.

It's not that they don't know where Su Yehao lives, but that these people are all old, and they are worried that relying on the old to sell the old town can't live in Su Yehao, but will be slapped in the face by the young and energetic little guy, and they will have no way to get along in the future.

Father Su is different, they have been in contact with each other before, so he is a man of good manners.

April 2003th, [-].

The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. A long row of luxury cars came downstairs from the headquarters of Universal International.

Wynn, Sands, Genting from Malaysia, and Xingyun Casino, a joint venture of several Hong Kong businessmen, all sent major shareholders or executives to try to force the Su family to stop.

After learning about it, Father Su said in surprise, "Except for Lisboa, the other four have come? They are so busy that they didn't even say hello. It seems that the visitors are not kind!"

The young male assistant, holding a folder in his hand, asked blankly, "For the concept map of the crab island that the young master released yesterday? Then what should I do now, let me help you block them?"

"Block, what do you use to stop them? I just drove them away. It is estimated that there will be news in the evening that my son's island is destroying the ecology or harming the interests of fishermen. I don't even look at where we are. The sediment in the Pearl River Estuary Big, the bottom of the sea is garbage except for sand, there is no hair, how can it be destroyed.”

Father Su, who had expected this for a long time, knew that if he didn’t clear up all the interests, he would inevitably be stumbling, and the hearing on King Crab Island would also hit a wall, and it might even affect the Four Seas Casino Hotel on Taipa Island. .

After listening to the assistant, he felt that it made sense, and continued to ask: "Then shall I arrange a conference room?"

"Well... By the way, in special times, you must wear a mask. I just started to enjoy the blessings, and my life is precious."

Father Su's anti-epidemic spirit is also very powerful.

no way.

With a death rate of more than [-]%, no one is afraid.

According to Su Yehao's suggestion, his employees in Las Vegas and Hong Kong City have to complete the test every other day before they can go to work. Earl's Hospital in Las Vegas has a laboratory with quite advanced machines. Unfortunately, the price of testing is a bit high, and it is difficult to do it on a large scale. universal.

As a result, a group of aggressive people were asked to wear masks as soon as they got out of the elevator, which immediately reduced their prestige by at least [-] to [-] percent.

When they came to the meeting room, another assistant sprayed alcohol.

If it is a customer, I am afraid that I will be so angry with this kind of hospitality, that as soon as Father Su showed up, someone said in a strange way: "It was so fierce back then. You can bring hundreds of people to block the door of my house to collect debts. Why are you so afraid of death now that you don’t even give him a way to survive?”

Papa Su looked at him. He was an old man in his 60s who was engaged in real estate business in Las Vegas. His scale was not particularly large, but his temper was not small.

After sitting down calmly, Father Su pretended to cough a few times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin, I'm doing it for your own good. For you guys."

As soon as the words came out.

Everyone present stared at Papa Su with horrified eyes.

Especially the two closest to him on the left and right, couldn't bear the full desire to survive, and had the urge to escape.

The so-called chest tightness and shortness of breath are, of course, faked.

Father Su looked at a Jew with a high nose bridge, black hair, and a neat suit, and said with a smile, "Robert is here too. When will your Sands start construction? The building materials can be brought to the construction site at any time."

Robert Meyer, 39 years old, had worked in Atlantic City for many years before, and was picked up by the owner of the Las Vegas Sands Casino and arranged to be in charge of the preparations.

The circle is only so big, it is inevitable to have contacted during the bidding.

Wearing a mask, he nodded and replied after listening to the interpreter, "Work will start soon. We didn't come here for this matter today."

The grumpy old man who was eccentric before continued to speak now: "Yes! Everyone conducts business in an orderly manner, but you want to invest in such a big island, lest others not know if your son is rich? We all disagree!"

I have a great son.

Papa Su himself feels melancholy occasionally, feeling that the chances to show his father's love have suddenly decreased a lot, and the little bastard has long looked down on his pocket money.

But in front of outsiders, Father Su was very proud, and told slowly:

"My son is already the second or third richest man in the world. It's hard to know him. The surrounding sea is so wide, if you want to invest in building one, I'm not stopping you."

"……Humph!"

Partnered with a friend to invest in a so-so Nebula Casino, the old man has already pulled out the coffin board, so how dare he take the blame.

Another white man at the scene was in charge of singing the white face and told: "We are not here to quarrel today, we just want a chance for fair competition. Everyone has invested a lot of money in the casino. I hope Mr. Su can reconsider and give up the construction. The satellite casino idea."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us whether the island is an island or not, but satellite casinos cannot be built on islands."

heard.

Father Su sneered and said:

"A good abacus, the beads of the abacus are almost jumping on my face. My son has the appearance of the richest man. He invested in an island to benefit the whole gambling city and bring his father and fellow villagers to a fortune. What's in the way of you? Every day from now on, don't talk about it." It is also because of this island that it has attracted more than 1000 million tourists, and it would be short-sighted to bring you all the glory."

The so-called attracting more than 1000 million tourists is just running the train with your mouth full.

But everyone present knew that the existence of King Crab Island really helped to attract tourists.

The Palm Island in Dubai also holds this idea, and the real estate business is secondary, and if you are not careful, you will lose money and make money.

At least based on the current housing prices in the casino, this investment is indeed a loss, so the casino is willing to consider only holding 10% of the shares, and they don't want to win more shares, fearing that they will scare Su Yehao away.

King Crab Island is the largest investment project since the history of the casino. A few years ago, it only cost about 500 million yuan to build an airport next to Taipa Island. The reclamation cost is actually not expensive, mainly because of the subsequent It costs money to build.

Of course, Papa Su knew that Emperor Crab Island was going for real estate, and he was also worried that it would be too tense and offend all the casinos, making the project difficult to deliver, and the gains outweighed the losses.

then.

He changed the subject and said:

"Satellite casinos must be built, or else, when the time comes, set the amount of exchange chips for tourists, for example, up to [-] Hong Kong dollars, so that they can gamble happily. The profit of the VIP room accounts for [-]% to [-]% of the total profit of the casino. You guys If you are still dissatisfied, then I have nothing to do, after the hearing is over, my promise will not count, give me an answer as soon as possible..."

Chapter 869 Be filial

Father Su made his words very clear.

On King Crab Island, a satellite casino must be built, otherwise there will be less gimmicks.

The so-called satellite casinos refer to casinos opened in addition to licensed casinos.

Although satellite casinos are not licensed, they can cooperate with licensed casinos, which is a bit like a franchisee, and they can also operate directly.

The representatives of Sands, Wynn, Genting and Nebula had nothing to do. Apart from stumbling the Su family, they didn’t really have the ability to handle Papa Su. Su Yehao is the third richest man.

Look around the world.

On the bright side, only Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are the only ones who are sure to surpass Su Yehao in terms of asset size.

Due to the large fluctuations in the valuation of a group of unlisted companies, Su Yehao's foundation is a little bit worse, but no matter how bad he is, he is the third richest man in the world, and even the casinos in Las Vegas are not rich. Dare to offend him easily.

After these people left.

Father Su contacted his son as soon as possible, briefly introduced the situation over the phone, and boasted by the way:

"So what if the four families come together, they are not my opponent together. I said that I was coughing, short of breath and uncomfortable, and almost scared them to pee. How dare you still want to show me the color? Let them know every minute, who can tell me?" It's a real local snake... no, a strong local dragon!"

"...Dad, you are so fierce, you are not afraid of anyone, you brought out SARS, this thing is really terrible."

When Su Yehao received the call, he was hiking on the MacLehose Trail, out of breath.

This hiking route has beautiful scenery. It starts from Pak Tam Chung, turns west around the Sai Kung Peninsula, reaches the mountains of Kowloon, and then goes north from the city gate to Tai Mo Shan, and then goes west to Tuen Mun. , about one hundred kilometers in length.

He took Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu with him, and planned to spend three days walking, breathe the fresh air of nature, and have a picnic by the way.

Sleeping in a tent must be uncomfortable, so Su Yehao bought a caravan and parked it in an open place every night to wait for them. If he travels to the mainland in the future, this caravan will also come in handy.

On the other side of the phone.

Father Su was serious, and continued:

"If the old gambling king tripped me up, I might have to think about it, but the foundation of Sands and Wynn is in Las Vegas, the United States, and it is beyond my reach. Genting is not strong enough, and I was lucky enough to get one of the six gambling cards. , is also an outsider, not to mention Xingyun Casino, a group of second-rate and third-rate businessmen in Hong Kong City cooperate, and none of them can really fight."

There are many old foxes in the family, Su Yehao is really relieved, he can already see Da Maoshan in front of him, he replied:

"These casinos are not of the same mind. They are just worried about being robbed by our family. The exchange amount of [-] Hong Kong dollars per day is quite good, and it must be enough for ordinary tourists. Compared with the real estate value of King Crab Island , casino revenue is dispensable, the key now is to pass the hearing on the plan to build the island, the less trouble the better.”

Papa Su's voice came next:

"That's what I think too. Otherwise, ignore them. There are more voices in the newspapers talking about environmental protection. What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Spend money. At that time, I will release the news of donating 20 billion Hong Kong dollars to improve the surrounding water quality, and then create some concepts such as offshore wind power generation, tidal energy and solar power generation, waste water purification and recycling, etc. I have determined from the design time. Well, the concept of a green ecological island."

Whether the marine environment around the casino is good or not depends on what the locals say, and it mainly depends on how well the environmental protection of the Pearl River Basin is done.

Therefore, the vast majority of the money is estimated to be invested in the ecological protection of the interior, and try to avoid the barbaric expansion in the next few years, which will cause more losses than gains in the future.

Overall.

These recent busy projects are relatively long-term projects, and money is poured into them one after another every year, so there is almost no pressure.

Su Yehao is just reluctant to sell high-quality assets ahead of time, which is completely different from being out of money. If anyone can push him into a hurry, it will not be a big problem to raise 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash in the short term.

For example, Cisco, which has made a lot of money recently, released news last month that it was considering an offer of US$80 billion to acquire Google as a whole because it had too much cash on hand.

It's just that Su Yehao didn't pick up on it at all, and asked the operation officer Danielle Kenning to help get rid of the other party. He wanted to buy the golden lump for a cabbage price, and he was not a fool.

The topic changed.

Father Su took it as an interesting thing and told him:

"Your Uncle Qiu's son, Qiu Yaohe, made a fortune from his dating software after you bought it. I heard that he has made a lot of money trading in stocks recently. He also bought a private jet and put it there, but because he is afraid of heights, he doesn't dare to fly. Tell his dad that it doesn't matter if you use it or not, but if you do, it almost made your Uncle Qiu mad."

"Afraid of heights and still buy a private jet? Do you want to be so rich?"

"Yeah, it's cheap for nothing, my old man, with tears in his eyes, he helped to use it, so as not to rust. When I mentioned the plane, I remembered it. What about your new plane? I'm traveling all over the country now. How much does it cost to use your current plane? trouble."

"...I understand what you mean. It hasn't been delivered yet. I'll arrange one for you when I receive it. It's the latest model. Be filial."

"Hey! Dear son, what a filial son, I'll hang up first, I'm busy."

"..."

Last year, taking advantage of the Internet market is still sluggish.

In the name of Yanwen Group, Su Yehao acquired the Loveline dating software co-founded by Qiu Yaohe and cousin He Shaofan for a total cost of 500 million US dollars.

The current Kaomoji Group, in addition to the earliest TVT and ICQ, also has two instant chat software products that specialize in dating functions and corporate office, plus PayPal, Netflix, and game companies, and its business is relatively diversified.

Su Yehao felt that the reason why that guy invested in Loveline, a dating social product, was mainly inspired by himself, or in other words, he got inspiration from the "Nearby People" function.

Qiu Yaohe's achievements are relatively successful in the eyes of others, but compared with Su Yehao's Yanwen Group, they are obviously far behind.

Even though it is half-dead and has a limited number of active users, Su Yehao feels that as long as he helps Loveline until the era of smartphones comes, there should be a big market.
