Not interested in staying in Europe to wait for EF Motors' reply, Suning returned directly to Hong Kong Island. Because they knew about the connection between EF Motors and Suning, Daimler Group became more interested in cooperating with Su Group.
After all, things are so strange. There is a big difference between having competitors and not having competitors, let alone Germany and Britain, two countries that love and kill each other.
Seeing the dedication of Daimler Group, Suning smiled silently. If he had known that Daimler Group was so nervous about EF Motors, he would have gone to EF Motors in the UK for a few laps.
Hong Kong Island is still the Hong Kong Island that is full of freedom and vitality. There is no obvious difference because of Suning's big move in Europe this time.
Seeing that Suning had once again increased its investment in Hong Kong Island, the British Hong Kong government designated a large area of land in the New Territories for industrial land to build the "Maybach" automobile factory. The location was just across the water from Bao'an.
Tin Shui Wai area.
The large-scale construction projects in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, attracted and shocked the attention of the mainland. When they found out that the Su Group was building a car factory, they were shocked by the courage of the capitalists.
In fact, the factory location that Suning most wants to choose should be the Bao'an area in the Mainland. However, it is only six to five years now, and it will take another twenty years to wait before it can slowly try to invest and build factories in the Mainland.
With the help of Lai Hao, Lei Luo completely controlled the drug business in Hong Kong Island, and also contacted high-quality sources of goods in the Golden Triangle area of Thailand. These were things that Suning could not avoid, so he gradually became more and more involved with Lei Luo.
Luo became distant.
Suning has always cherished his friendship with Lei Luo, but their different attitudes towards drugs have determined that the relationship between the two brothers cannot continue.
Suning knew that he might have to wait until the British settled their scores and completely ousted Lei Luo from power before the two brothers could reconcile.
Although Lei Luo and Suning are drifting apart, Bai Yue'e still often comes to Suning's house to talk to her best friend Axia, and then maintains the relationship between the two families.
Regarding the subtle relationship between Lei Luo and Suning, Bai Yue'e and Axia can both feel it. Although they don't know the specific reason, they can only try their best to do what they can.
"Axia, I heard that you and Suning sent Su Hang to study in Germany?"
"Well! I will go to Germany for two years first, and then go to England for two years!
I might end up going to college in the United States for four years."
"Ah? Isn't it very hard for Su Hang like this?" Bai Yue'e was really shocked when she heard Axia's explanation.
"Yes! I also think it's too hard for children!
But Suning has high expectations for our eldest son Su Hang, so we can only train him early!"
"Well! That's true!
Your Su Group really needs a qualified heir.
However, you sent Su Hang to study abroad, and our Lei Ting was sad for a long time."
"Tingting? Why is she sad?"
"Haha, although Tingting is two years younger than your Su Hang, she often likes to play with Su Hang!
Now that Su Hang has gone to study abroad, can Tingting not be sad?"
"Haha, what a kid!
When you grow up and meet other boys, you won't be sad anymore!" Axia laughed nonchalantly.
"Haha, I hope so!"
Bai Yue'e still knows exactly what her daughter's temper is. Of course, she also knows that her eldest daughter Lei Ting likes Su Hang. If she can really marry the Su family, Bai Yue'e will also be happy to see it happen.
But with the subtle relationship between Lei Luo and Suning now, Bai Yue'e didn't know how the two families would get along in the future, so she kept the matter of the two children in her heart.
...
The So Museum in Central has sixteen floors above ground. After acquiring a large number of precious antiques from the mainland several times in a row, it can still only occupy three floors for exhibitions, leaving the other dozen floors unused.
This time Suning once again purchased a large number of cultural relics from Europe, so there is no need to worry about not having enough places for exhibitions.
Nowadays, the Su Family Museum has become an internet celebrity place on Hong Kong Island. Both Hong Kong Island residents taking leisure time and foreign tourists visiting Hong Kong Island will come to visit the Su Family Museum.
After hearing the news that Suning had once again purchased a large number of precious antiques from Europe, Hong Kong Island residents and tourists became very interested and came to the museum to appreciate the charm of the new collection.
"Old Liu, why do you think Suning is so powerful?
From 1949 to now, in just sixteen years, we have owned such a huge industry!" A middle-aged woman held her child in her arms and said to her husband who was admiring antiques beside her.
"Yes! When you compare people, there are really huge differences!
Our family has been coming to Hong Kong for a few years to make a living, and now we can only take care of our family’s food and clothing!”
"Old Liu, do you think this Suning is the "white glove" of any force?"
"White gloves? How could that happen?
Whose "white glove" will start from a small street vendor?
Suning got to this point step by step!" The man shook his head disapprovingly.
"Eh? That's right!
Suning is just like going up the stairs, step by step, and finally reached the top."
The conversation between the two couples reflects the mentality of the residents of Hong Kong Island at this time. They are all deeply influenced by Suning's growth. They are shocked and envious of Suning's achievements, and they regard Suning as their goal in their hearts.
Hong Kong Island is a capital society, and we always admire capital, not to mention Suning, the richest man in Hong Kong Island who came from nothing.
Shao Laoliu has now jointly established Shaw Brothers Pictures with Lei Luo. Because Su Real Estate has a lot of high-quality real estate under its name and has built many cinemas belonging to Su, so Shao Laoliu wants to invite Suning to join the joint venture.
Run Shaw Brothers.
Just because Suning didn't like to have too many connections with the drug-related Lei Luo, and he wasn't very interested in the current film industry. For investment in movie theaters, he was more optimistic about early investment in the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island, so he refused.
accepted Shao Laoliu's invitation.
Regarding Suning's rejection, Lei Luo didn't say anything and just suppressed his displeasure in his heart. However, Shao Laoliu worked even harder on managing TVB.
When Suning gave the order to Shao Laoliu in Germany, although Shao Laoliu was a little confused, he still conscientiously supervised the filming of "Chinese Treasures".
Following Suning's request in advance, many historical experts were invited from the mainland to film a grand and magnificent plot. Even Shao Laoliu was very shocked when he watched the program samples.
After "Chinese Treasures" was broadcast on TVB during prime time, the weekly variety show completely shocked all Hong Kong Island residents, and they began to feel proud and interested in Chinese culture.
The grand and magnificent pictures, as well as the rich and true historical stories, aroused the patriotism of many Hong Kong Island residents, and they flocked to the So Museum in Central to enjoy the collections collected by Suning.
Wanwan also introduced and broadcast TVB's "Chinese Treasures", which also caused a "curio trend" in Hong Kong Island. Then Wanwan's bosses also got excited and wanted to have more opportunities with Suning.
It’s related.
"Mr. Su, last time we had to say goodbye in a hurry!
We haven’t seen each other for a long time!”
"Director Wang, long time no see!
Who is this?" Suning looked at Wang Youzheng, director of the Wanwan Investment Promotion Bureau in front of him.
"Mr. Su, this is Su Chengru, Dean Su of the Wanwan Palace Museum."
"Haha, hello, Dean Su!
It seems that we were still the same family five hundred years ago!"
"Haha, yes!
I heard that Mr. Su is from Qingdao, Shandong?
Is there anyone else back home in the mainland?"
"No more!
After all, I came to Hong Kong Island during the war."
"Mr. Su, we are coming to Hong Kong Island this time!
It's because I heard that Mr. Su bought many rare antiques from Europe.
It caused great repercussions on Hong Kong Island.
Everyone is sighing with emotion at Mr. Su’s feat!”
"Haha, Dean Su is so complimentary!"
"Mr. Su, you are too humble!
We at the National Palace Museum in Taipei have some unparalleled treasures that we would like to display in your museum. Is it possible?"
"Okay! This is something I wish for!
I have long heard that the National Palace Museum in Taipei houses some Chinese treasures, and I have long wanted to take a look." Suning's eyes lit up, and she agreed with a smile.
"Haha, great!
Then we will hold a national treasure exhibition at the So Museum in Central soon!" Seeing Suning agree, Su Chengru was very happy.
...
August 1, 1966, was a big day for the Su Group, because today was the day when the car "Maybach" owned by the Su Group rolled off the assembly line.
Because of the unique conditions in Germany, even the factory does not need to be rebuilt. It only needs to purchase an idle factory under the Daimler Group. Therefore, the "Maybach" factory in Germany was the first to produce cars.
Regarding the design of "Maybach", Suning gave many views of later generations, so it is completely a popular model from later generations.
The novel models and graceful lines made many senior executives of the Daimler Group who were not impressed began to be shocked when they saw the "Maybach" produced.
"Mr. Su, your design is so perfect!
I even want to change my car!"
"Haha, this is the credit of the entire "Maybach" design team. I just gave a little bit of my own ideas.
And I have decided to order a hundred units of the first model.
Used to give as gifts to corporate CEOs who have good cooperation with Su Group.
Of course, yours, William, is indispensable!"
"Haha, great!
You are such a genius!
This not only contributed to the first big order for "Maybach", but also expanded the reputation of "Maybach" to the greatest extent."
"Haha, William, this is just a way of thanking my business partners, I didn't think too much about it!" Suning certainly wouldn't admit that William had hit his mark.
Daimler Group Vice President Bauer, who was standing by, saw that Suning had promised William a "Maybach", and he was already coveting the "Maybach" in front of him.
"Mr. Su, you can't favor one thing over another!
At least give me a "Maybach" car!"
Suning was very happy to see that his "Maybach" could be appreciated by the Daimler giant. This proved that his "Maybach" was stable and would definitely become a popular and best-selling model.
"Haha, don't worry!
You will definitely be missing Bauer!
I am going to give every Daimler Group director a Maybach!"
After hearing Suning's arrangement, other Daimler executives also became happy. Although the Maybach is priced at a high price of 600,000 US dollars, it is really looked down upon by German car giants like them. The reason why they are so happy
, because they also want to express their closeness to Suning.
Suning did not lie. He actually ordered a hundred "Maybachs" directly, and then gave each of the company owners who had done business with the Su Group a "Maybach".
Seeing such a beautiful and unique luxury car, and knowing the high price of the "Maybach", they all expressed their appreciation for Suning's generosity and friendship.
Then, in order to show their support for Suning, they began to place orders for the "Maybach" company. Although the number was not too large, most of them were more than ten or twenty cars, which still constituted a large order volume, which made Daimler
The top management of the group was a little shocked.
Unexpectedly, Suning's step of giving away cars turned out to be the most outstanding advertising and marketing, quickly creating the reputation of "Maybach".
Among them, the oil bosses from the Middle East are the most awesome. Because of their good cooperative relationship with Su Shi Amity Shipping Company, after seeing the luxury of the "Maybach" type car, they directly placed an order for a thousand "Maybach" cars.
.
For a new car company, which is still a niche company focusing on luxury cars, it is not easy to get so many orders as soon as the "Maybach" is produced off the production line.
Large companies like the Su Group have many related companies around the world. At first, they all cheered for Suning's sake, but after seeing how luxurious and outstanding the "Maybach" was, it was really
Fall in love with this luxury car.
Lei Luo drove the "Maybach" given to him by Suning and showed it off everywhere. Many club bosses and his detectives were all inquiring about the "Maybach".
"Master Luo, where did you buy your Maybach?"
This is so beautiful!”
"Haha, this was given to me by Fatty Su!
The price alone is $600,000!”
"Ah? Six hundred thousand dollars? This is too arrogant!"
"That's right! How can you show your identity without being arrogant!"
"Master Luo, isn't this produced by the Su Group's factory in the New Territories?"
"Of course not!
These luxury models are all produced in German factories in Europe!
I heard that factories in the New Territories will produce some popular models."
"Oh? I don't know why Mr. Su has so many ideas. He is exactly the current God of Wealth in Hong Kong!
Whatever industry you invest in, you will make big money in that industry!”
"Haha, no matter how prosperous Fatty Su is, he is still my good brother, Lei Luo!"
Hearing everyone's praise for Suning and thinking that Suning has always regarded him as a brother, Lei Luo was also very happy and proud.
Yan Tong, who was staying in the corner, looked at the arrogant Lei Luo in front of him and the luxurious "Maybach" beside him, and felt unspeakable jealousy in his heart.
Yan Tong once again lamented Lei Luo's good luck in getting to know a "potential stock" like Suning. Yan Tong believed that Lei Luo's achievements today were entirely due to Suning's help.
When I think about it, he has always given preferential treatment to stowaways coming to Hong Kong Island from the mainland, but he has never encountered a "potential stock" like Suning.
It was not easy to meet someone who was relatively capable, Wu Xihao. He was also recruited by Suning first and now he has become Lei Luo's right-hand man.
