We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Soon, Su Cheng learned at the banquet that MacLehose would invite some of Hong Kong's business tycoons to Government House for gatherings every so often, providing a platform for Hong Kong's entrepreneurs to交流 (exchange) and 合作 (cooperate).

Su Cheng felt that MacLehose was indeed contributing effectively to Hong Kong's economic take-off in this regard.

At least, he met many big shots today.

For example, Run Run Shaw, the entertainment mogul of Hong Kong, with whom he discussed the future development direction of Hong Kong's film industry.

No one dared to underestimate Su Cheng, this suddenly rising young tycoon, because of his youth.

After all, the strength of Hutchison Whampoa was among the top ten in all of Hong Kong.

And among the top ten companies, almost all were listed companies or large consortia, basically with multiple powerful shareholders.

For such a large-scale enterprise like Hutchison Whampoa to be taken down and then privatized by one person was simply unprecedented.

"Mr. Su, I wonder if you have a suitable spouse? My granddaughter is about the same age as you and is currently studying for a master's degree at New York University. If Mr. Su is interested, I will marry my granddaughter to you."

"My granddaughter is just 18 this year and looks as beautiful as a flower. I think my granddaughter is more suitable for you."

"I only have one daughter. If Mr. Su marries my daughter, all my assets will be Mr. Su's after I pass away."

… …

Soon, some people began to have ideas about forming a marital alliance.

Not only were there Chinese business tycoons, but even the big shots of British-funded enterprises were interested in forming a marital alliance with Su Cheng.

After all, not to mention the future prospects, at least Su Cheng's current wealth was unmatched by more than 90% of the people present.

This was simply a diamond bachelor!

If they could form a marital alliance with Su Cheng, their family business would definitely be able to take off further.

Hong Kong people in this era were still relatively traditional and feudal, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with marital alliances.

Even in Europe, the same was true. Nobles often only looked for spouses within the noble circle.

For example, Princess Diana, who would marry Prince Charles of Wales in 1981, was the daughter of an earl.

"I'm sorry, I'm still young and not considering marriage for the time being," Su Cheng helplessly declined one by one.

With his current conditions, there was no need to give up the entire forest for one tree.

No matter how beautiful she was, it was not difficult for Su Cheng to find beautiful women now.

Although Su Cheng didn't bring so many business cards with him, he would tell the other party his phone number to those who gave him business cards.

These were very important connections!

Everyone knows how important connections are.

For example, without the assistance of the Shipping King, it would not have been so easy for Simon Keswick to agree to sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Su Cheng.

Furthermore, if it weren't for Chu Xuan Yu, it would not have been possible for Su Cheng to indirectly meet the London super-rich, Brown Ogden, and naturally, it would not have been possible to buy that 16.5% stake in Hutchison Whampoa when he was in the UK.

This was the benefit of having connections.

They took the initiative to give Su Cheng business cards, naturally wanting to build a good relationship with Su Cheng.

That is to say, if Su Cheng needed to cooperate with them in a certain field in the future, with common interests, no one would refuse to cooperate with Su Cheng.

After saying goodbye to the big shots, Su Cheng sat in his limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom VI and went straight home.

Tonight was a rewarding experience, and it was worth the trip.

The next morning, Su Cheng originally didn't plan to do anything else and planned to rest well at home, because he had an appointment with Hong Kong Governor MacLehose for a private meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon.

However, at nine o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Brother Wu.

"Boss, I got news from the international dark organization that someone is offering a reward of 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy your life. Some people in the assassin world are already eager to move," Brother Wu said directly after the phone was connected.

"Really? Have you found out who is behind this?" Su Cheng was a little surprised. In theory, he had always been very low-key before and shouldn't have offended anyone.

"It has been found out that it was Ye Tianrui's son who commissioned others to release the assassination order. But boss, you don't need to worry too much. I have been closely monitoring Hong Kong's land, sea, and air border crossings. Once any suspicious personnel are found, our people will deal with them. At the same time, Hong Kong is also starting to investigate whether there are any assassins mixed in," Brother Wu said quickly.

The Ye family, it's really endless entanglement!

Most of the Ye family members have now been caught in prison, and only a small number who have not done anything bad have escaped.

Major criminals like Ye Tianrui's son have already been sentenced directly to life imprisonment. As for Ye Mei and her other family members, they have basically been sentenced to twenty to forty years.

And those members of the Dragon River Society have also basically been sentenced to three to five years or more. Those who are more serious have also been sentenced directly to life imprisonment.

Su Cheng originally thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing.

"Brother Wu, come over here," Su Cheng said.

"Okay, I'll be there in about twenty minutes," Brother Wu said and hung up the phone directly.

Twenty minutes later, Brother Wu arrived at the Su family villa.

"This is the relevant information I collected from the international dark organization," Brother Wu handed a few documents to Su Cheng upon meeting.

Su Cheng nodded and sat on the sofa to read.

Ten million Hong Kong dollars to buy his life, Su Cheng was not that cheap.

Putting down the information, Su Cheng asked, "Blocking assassins is always a temporary solution, is there a way to solve the root cause?"

"Yes, I'm already working on it. At most two days, I'll get it done for you!" Brother Wu said confidently.

"Oh? What's the method?" Su Cheng was a little curious.

"Exterminate the Ye Tianrui family, and the people in the assassin world will naturally not continue to accept this order! I have already sent people to deal with the Ye family's people outside. At the same time, I have also released the word that whoever wants to deal with you, boss, is against me. I still have some reputation in the international dark organization. As for Ye Tianrui and others in prison, I have also bribed the relevant personnel. If there are no accidents, there will be news within two days," Brother Wu said very directly.

It can be seen that Brother Wu is very decisive in his actions.

"I'm relieved with you handling things," Su Cheng didn't say much, and didn't bother to dwell on Brother Wu's private decision.

Originally, he thought that the matter would be over after Ye Mei and others were handed over to the Hong Kong police and were all sentenced to heavy sentences, but he didn't expect them to be incorrigible.

Sure enough, you have to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!

In this chaotic era, you have to be ruthless.

As a good young man who crossed over from the new century, it is indeed difficult for him to kill people.

However, it doesn't mean that he will let people bully him. He tacitly approved of Brother Wu's actions.

Having lived two lives, Su Cheng knows that you must never be soft-hearted in doing things, otherwise you will suffer.

At the same time, he was also glad that he had formed the Tian He Security Company and had talents like Brother Wu, otherwise, he might not even know how he died.

"Brother Wu, thanks!" Su Cheng smiled. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"These are all things I should do. At the same time, I am also accelerating the deployment of manpower in Hong Kong to develop the intelligence department as soon as possible, so that we can know immediately if there is any disturbance in our territory," Brother Wu said.
