Chapter 263 Cyberport

Zheng Yongwen, the deputy dean, stood on the podium, expounding his predictions on the future economic development trend of Hong Kong City.

On one hand, regarding Hong Kong City itself, he personally speculated that the housing market and stock market would continue to decline until they returned to a reasonable level. However, Hong Kong City's tourism retail, port cargo transportation, foreign trade, finance, and other fields were about to usher in a period of development.

On the other hand, he introduced the mainland.

According to Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen, the driving force behind Hong Kong City's future economic growth lay in the north.

Su Yehao sat in the classroom, listening with great interest, increasingly feeling that his little aunt's ex-boyfriend was a talent, with a very accurate grasp of the situation.

Looking back, one of the main reasons why Hong Kong City was able to develop to its current scale was its status as the "only external window to the mainland."

However, with the opening up of the north, this status was gradually disappearing. Fortunately, the economic scale of the north was growing, so the dividends were still considerable.

The number of tourists visiting Hong Kong last year reached a new high. As 1998 just began and the Spring Festival approached, more and more people came to travel and shop during their annual leave.

The tourism company managed by Jiang Yu's father, Master Jiang, alone received more than six thousand mainland tourists in the first half of the month. Attracting business was quite convenient, so much so that Master Jiang was busy and decided to resign from Sihai International to focus on managing this jointly established enterprise.

Su's father felt that working for Su Yehao was also a job, so he did not actively ask Master Jiang to resign.

However, according to Jiang Yu, her father was embarrassed himself, after not going to work at Sihai International recently, he felt it wasn't right to continue receiving a salary.

In fact, the money Master Jiang could get from the travel agency's current income already exceeded what he earned when he was working.

After integrating several acquired small travel agencies, the company was named "Honghao International Tourism Group," recruiting hundreds of new employees, purchasing large buses, and leasing two nearly bankrupt hotels for renovation.

Master Jiang's ability and experience were unquestionable, and Su Yehao basically didn't need to worry about his work.

Therefore, Su Yehao was happy to be a hands-off manager. As long as he could develop Internet products such as tAt, tot, and wps, it would already be a great help to the tourism company. In the future, he could advertise himself and attract tourists to visit.

Temporarily opening up channels in Hong Kong City, continuously increasing the number of cooperating merchants, hotels, and shopping malls, the next step is to continue expanding the customer base in the mainland, which is undoubtedly a good business...

Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen's predictions were still so accurate.

But in Su Yehao's eyes, these were all news he already knew, and it was difficult to be helpful.

He accidentally stepped on Jiang Yu's foot.

Jiang Yu belonged to the honey badger type and wasn't willing to suffer losses. She frowned and glared at him, reaching out to pinch Su Yehao.

The feeling of small actions in class already felt so distant.

The moment she touched his thigh, Su Yehao grabbed Jiang Yu's slender little hand, the corner of his mouth lifted, and he continued to listen to the lecture as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yu was startled by Su Yehao's actions. Afraid of being noticed by other classmates, she quietly struggled.

After all, she was a girl, weighing less than a hundred pounds. In terms of strength, how could she compare to him?

No matter how Jiang Yu struggled, Su Yehao remained unmoved, sometimes even scratching the palm of her hand with his fingers.

Speaking of Jiang Yu.

Of course, Su Yehao had a good impression of her, but by chance, Liu Li and Qingying cut in line, and he really couldn't arrange things for her for the time being.

Jiang Yu, who had no intention of attending class anymore, was really too weak and tired after struggling secretly for a while...

Her breathing was rapid, and with the added shyness, her face had a pink glow under the sunlight.

She lowered her voice and said, "Let go."

"No, beg me."

Su Yehao calmly turned his head, turning the tables: "Listen to the lecture carefully, don't affect my studying."

Jiang Yu, who skipped more classes than she attended, didn't believe his nonsense and her nose was almost crooked with anger.

While class was in session, she couldn't just kick Su Yehao away.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to accept the situation, but Su Yehao wasn't being honest, scratching her hand from time to time. This girl was as sensitive as if she had been electrocuted, her whole body was numb, and her palms were sweating.

Almost out of her soul, she had no intention of listening to the lecture at all.

Holding her small hand in his big hand for more than ten minutes could be considered a compensation for Su Yehao's regrets in his previous life.

When the bell rang for the end of class.

As soon as Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen announced the end of class, Jiang Yu quickly pulled her hand away and fled, in a panic, almost tripping.

As for Su Yehao, he wiped his hands and came to the podium, saying, "Dean Zheng, I feel a little lonely without you in the financial circle. Why don't you quit your job as chief consultant and we can set up a company together?"

"Without me, wouldn't you still make a lot of money? Thanks to you, I also paid attention to Yahoo's good stock. I've earned more than ten million Hong Kong dollars from the end of November last year until now."

Zheng Yongwen finished with a smile, beckoning Su Yehao to accompany him to leave.

When they arrived in the corridor, the current chief financial consultant asked, "Have you heard of the Cyberport plan?"

Unexpectedly, the topic was diverted to Cyberport.

Su Yehao nodded and replied, "I've seen it in the newspaper. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. You are also starting a business in the high-tech field. From your perspective, does Cyberport have a future?"

The so-called Cyberport is a high-tech industrial park similar to Silicon Valley, where the government is responsible for building office buildings and providing them to entrepreneurs in the high-tech industry.

Su Yehao only glanced at it in the newspaper and didn't know enough about the specific situation.

He only knew that it was first proposed by the second son of the Li family, and it also included residential projects, with an estimated investment scale of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

After Zheng Yongwen asked, Su Yehao thought for a while and frankly said what he thought:

"If you want to build a Cyberport, unless you come up with attractive policies to support it, there's no talent, no preferential treatment, and no market. I think it's quite difficult. Besides, the second son of the Li family doesn't have much influence in the technology circle except for being rich. I think building a Cyberport is fake, and valuing the residential land is the real thing. It's like my old man going to Pengcheng to get land, using the name of the cultural tourism city to bypass the land auction... Of course, my old man is definitely wholeheartedly supporting the construction of the mainland, helping while profiting, a win-win situation for both sides, absolutely no problem."

Hearing this, Zheng Yongwen said with a smile: "Are you afraid I'll record it? Your father's intentions are obvious at a glance, but there's too much land in the north and a lack of funds, which is indeed different from our situation in Hong Kong City. The second son of the Li family is indeed interested in the residential land, so he was busy planning before. Recently, the housing prices have fallen, so there's no movement again. Now the higher-ups plan to develop Hong Kong City's high-tech market. I think your family's situation is very suitable, and you can give it a try."

Currently, whoever touches the land in Hong Kong City will lose money, and it's far from hitting rock bottom.

Su Yehao was unwilling to be a sucker and immediately said in surprise: "My family? You think too highly of my dad. A few projects are about to drain him dry. How can he get tens of billions more?"

Zheng Yongwen pushed his glasses and said calmly:

"I didn't ask your dad to be responsible alone. What I mean is to unite several real estate developers to jointly lead the way. Plan to auction off part of the land, and the income from the auction will be used to build the Cyberport. At that time, you will get the land, and the rent will belong to the higher-ups. The price of land auctions will definitely be very cheap recently. This is the best way..."
