People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

"Uncle Zhang, get in the car, let's go take a look at the land of the automobile industrial park in Tuen Mun." Su Cheng sat in the driver's seat, his interest growing.

This is a sports car. Although it is a bridge sports car, it is still a lot of fun to drive.

Moreover, since this is a limited edition, it is intended for use by the rich and powerful, so the interior space is more spacious than the ordinary Jaguar S-TYPE, and only slightly smaller than the Rolls-Royce he was riding in.

This is the Kwai Tsing Container Terminal, nearly 20 kilometers away from the land allocated to them by the government.

Although the distance is not short, the road is very open and there are no traffic lights along the way. There are also few vehicles on this road to Tuen Mun, so the driving experience must be very strong.

"Okay, but boss, your driving skills should be okay, right? I can't stand the hassle." Zhang Qizhen said with a wry smile.

Zhang Qi was one of the first people to work with Su Cheng, so he knew that Su Cheng often drove himself in the past few years, but in recent years he has rarely driven himself. It is precisely because of this that he has this worry.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. I seldom drive now, but my previous skills are still there, so don't worry!" Su Cheng laughed.

Zhang Qizhen didn't say anything else and went straight to the passenger seat.

Two more bodyguards got on the back row.

As for the Rolls-Royce, it will naturally be driven by bodyguards.

So, the original three cars became four cars.

The car quickly drove out of Tsuen Wan Road and headed north. Not long after, it reached the interchange of Tuen Mun Road and drove directly onto Tuen Mun Road.

Tuen Mun Road was built on June 1974, 6 with a government grant of HK$10 million. It is the first restricted-access expressway in Hong Kong.

There are not many cars on Tuen Mun Road. There are more trucks than private cars, and there are some motorcycles on the road. As for pedestrians and bicycles, they are not allowed to go up.

"This car is really fun to drive. No wonder young people like sports cars. This is just a coupe. If it were a supercar, the driving experience would probably be even better." Su Cheng said with emotion while driving.

He doesn't like driving cars because for him, if he drives too fast, he will easily have an accident.

Now that he has finally earned so much money, he can't bear to die like this.

Therefore, even though there were few vehicles on Tuen Mun Road at that time and the road condition was good, he only drove at a speed of about 80 to 100 hours.

However, Su Cheng knows that the Tuen Mun Road will become increasingly busy in the future as the Tuen Mun New Town develops.

"Indeed, boss, this car is quite comfortable. I feel much more comfortable sitting in the passenger seat than in my Toyota." Zhang Qi was sitting comfortably in the passenger seat and turned to Su Cheng who was driving.

"Laowu, Amin, how comfortable are you feeling in the back seat?" Su Cheng asked the two bodyguards in the back seat without turning his head.

"Boss, except that the roof is a bit low, there are no other shortcomings. It is very comfortable to sit in." Lao Wu said with a wry smile.

Lao Wu is 187 cm tall. Although this car has more space than an ordinary sports car, it is not much taller. For a big guy like Lao Wu, he would naturally think the roof is too low.

Amin next to him also said: "Boss, the feeling I get when sitting in this car is the same as sitting in a Rolls-Royce. This car's shock absorption is even better than that of a Rolls-Royce. Overall, there is not much difference in comfort between the two."

In less than 20 minutes, under Zhang Qizheng's guidance, the car got off Tuen Mun Road and drove to a rural road called Qingshan Road. In less than a few minutes, we arrived at the land that will become the automobile industrial park. The land is located on the south side of Tuen Mun Road, mainly along the coastline.

The Jaguar stopped in an open space and Su Cheng got out of the car.

In front of us is a relatively large rock. If you climb up, you can see the terrain of the entire land.

There are also some iron warehouse buildings on this land, distributed on both sides of Qingshan Road.

"This land is not very flat. It has highs and lows. We need to use a bulldozer to flatten it before we can start construction." Zhang Qizhen said on the side.

Su Cheng nodded and looked at the land near the sea.

Not far away is Lantau Island. Standing on the rocks, you can clearly see Lantau Island, which is almost entirely made up of mountains.

"This place is not bad. It's backed by mountains and close to the sea, but there are not many people around." Su Cheng looked around.

Compared to the Tuen Mun Oil Base, this place is almost 20 kilometers closer to the city center, and it only takes about half an hour to get there from the center of Kowloon.

This distance is nothing.

“Once the automobile industrial park is established, people will naturally come here. A factory does not rely on the large population nearby to generate business,” Zhang Qizhen said with a smile.

"What's going on with those houses? Are there any civil conflicts?" Su Cheng asked, pointing at the warehouses and tin houses.

"Don't worry, boss. These are all illegal buildings. Not many people came here before, so some people directly built these simple iron houses on the vacant land and used them as small production workshops. The government didn't bother to care. But after selling the land to us, the government came forward to clear out all the people. They didn't dare not leave. If they refused to leave, they would have to pay rent for occupying the land for all these years. So now these warehouses and factories are empty, and there won't be any civil disputes. If there are any, just go to the government." Zhang Qizhen replied quickly.

Looking at this piece of land covering more than one million square meters, Su Cheng became more and more satisfied.

Although this place is remote compared to the urban area, many residential areas will be formed here in the future and the land price is not cheap.

It is indeed a good deal to be able to get it now at the price of this era.

As for why Mai Lihao was so willing to let the Lands Department sell the land to him, Su Cheng could roughly guess the reason.

It should be that MacLehose also knew that Hong Kong would return to China sooner or later, so he sold the land as much as possible while he could still manage Hong Kong.

They will definitely not sell the land in the city center at a low price. Basically, all transactions are made through auction, and the transaction price is higher than the market price.

However, major real estate developers are not very interested in these remote places, which is why the government will sell them directly to Suzhou.

In addition, the Lands Department was so willing to sell the land in Tseung Kwan O and Clear Water Bay Peninsula to Suzhou for the same reason.

"In that case, I feel relieved. Let's start construction on this land as soon as possible." Su Cheng is looking forward to what the entire automobile industrial park will look like after it is completed.

"Boss, we can start construction right away, but Hutchison Land Company's construction team has too much work to do now, and we simply can't spare enough construction teams. The same goes for Su Group's real estate company. Basically, in order to shorten the construction period of our project while ensuring the quality, we have to increase manpower to achieve our goals. So we are very, very short of construction teams, and we have been recruiting people, but it is never enough." Speaking of this, Zhang Qizhen's face showed helplessness.

Now, let alone high-end talents, even grassroots employees like those on construction sites are in short supply! (End of this chapter)
