After the meal was finished, the bottle of Han Emperor Moutai, worth a million per bottle, was emptied.

The Zhao family seemed somewhat tempted, but didn't give a definite answer, saying they needed to discuss it with the board members of Donghuang Group.

While returning to Casino, 1997, Su Yehao planned to visit He Shaofan's father, while spending time with Yin Liuli. If necessary, he might even try to connect with the old casino king.

Despite Casino, 1997's small land area, there were many powerful companies. He could take advantage of his father's connections this time, so he wasn't in a rush to return to Hong Kong and decided to network more...

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong.

Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen received advance notice from above.

On April 18th, which was tomorrow morning, he was to attend an informal consultation meeting.

The people he was meeting were the same group currently reviewing the Li family's Cyberport proposal, so he had to take it seriously.

Therefore, Zheng Yongwen gathered more than a dozen people from his team and also transferred employees from Su Yehao's assistant office to help, totaling over thirty people, working overtime overnight.

They managed to prepare two proposals by four o'clock in the morning, including cooperation charters, budgets, planning sketches, and so on.

Fortunately, they had prepared in advance. Although it was a bit rushed, they still managed to prepare these two presentable documents in time.

On April 18th, around 4:50 AM, Zhuang Wei, the former personal assistant, finished tidying up after her busy work and was now sleepy-eyed, preparing to take a taxi home to catch up on sleep.

Due to the temporary overtime, she had already told her subordinates who worked overtime at night to take a half-day off in the morning and return to work after lunch.

Before leaving, she unexpectedly found Zheng Yongwen still reviewing the newly prepared proposal. Zhuang Wei approached and asked, "Mr. Zheng, you have a meeting to attend in the morning. Will you be able to handle it mentally? It's best to rest for a while. I can proofread it for you again."

Zheng Yongwen looked up at her, smiled, and replied:

"Forget it, you haven't been involved before, and you don't understand a lot of the data. I have to be personally responsible. I was only notified about the meeting last night, clearly not intending to give us much time to prepare. If we get caught with any loopholes, it will be easy for people to take advantage of the situation. Maybe someone is already exerting influence behind the scenes."

Zhuang Wei had a bit of savant syndrome. Her EQ wasn't too high, but she was exceptionally intelligent.

After hearing Zheng Yongwen's words, she immediately thought of another Cyberport development plan. After all, the most powerful developer in Hong Kong currently stood behind it, so it would definitely not be easy to deal with.

Since the news of the Kai Tak Airport development had already spread, it would be strange if the other side gave them time to prepare. The business world is like a battlefield, and some small actions are normal.

Zhuang Wei picked up a proposal and said:

"It's so important, then you need to prepare well. Mr. Su will be personally responsible for the funding issue. I'll help you check the text and framework. You can review the specific data, and we'll try to get it done in half an hour."

Hearing this, Zheng Yongwen didn't insist anymore, smiled, and got up to pour her a cup of tea.

After thanking him and taking the teacup, Zhuang Wei took the initiative to ask curiously:

"Mr. Zheng, why are you helping our boss? I heard before that the Kai Tak Airport project would continue to be handled by our family office. It feels quite interesting to reasonably develop and plan a vacant lot."

Zheng Yongwen said, "What, are you blaming me for taking your job? Shouldn't be, your young boss is quick-witted and has more tricks than anyone else, and his ambitions are particularly astonishing. You should already be very busy on weekdays, wouldn't it be better for me to share some of the burden for you?"

"It's very good, but I don't think someone like you, a big shot, seems like the kind of person who would do everything personally. Being a chief consultant is more like it."

"...I don't want to get involved in muddy waters, staying up all night at my age, I'll live at least three or five days less. Unfortunately, your boss has a hold on me, a mutual exploitation, understand?"

Su Yehao had promised in advance that after completing this project, he would recommend him as the CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

This position was much more powerful than the nominal position of chief financial advisor.

Zheng Yongwen didn't particularly value money. He had already earned enough for daily expenses before the age of thirty-five, and now he had hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, achieving a certain degree of financial freedom.

With the problem of living expenses solved, he developed higher pursuits.

For example, in 1997, he served as the chief financial advisor, trying to compete with international hot money.

In '98, during the most tragic period, the stock market and the real estate market both collapsed. Fortunately, there were no problems with the exchange rate, which was considered a setback for international speculators led by Soros in Hong Kong, and they returned empty-handed.

Unlike places like Thailand and Malaysia, which have been in a slump ever since, Hong Kong's fundamentals were still there, so the recovery speed was faster recently. Overall, it was considered a narrow win, but the cost was a bit high.

Zhuang Wei didn't know what the so-called "hold" referred to. Guessing that some kind of deal had been reached between him and Su Yehao, she suppressed her curiosity, nodded, and didn't ask further.

Su Yehao usually dumps work on others at every turn, and unlike other companies, new projects emerge one after another, involving different fields.

He himself just moves his lips and lives a prosperous and easy life.

A group of assistants, including Zhuang Wei, were often forced to work overtime. Especially when cross-time zone transactions were involved, staying up all night wasn't unusual. The assistant office had gradually grown to more than ninety people, which shows how complicated the affairs were.

It can be said that Su Yehao's usual dashing demeanor was based on the busyness of these teams.

After spending some time reviewing the documents, Zhuang Wei also ordered takeout for Zheng Yongwen, delivering a bento box from a 24-hour convenience store.

After eating simply, she couldn't hold on any longer and found a sofa to lie down and rest.

Zheng Yongwen put away the documents and simply didn't go home. He sent a message to his assistant to pick up a new set of clothes from his house in the morning, and then he also dozed off at his desk...

Around eight o'clock in the morning.

Zheng Yongwen and Zhuang Wei, who hadn't rested well at all, barely washed up in the bathroom and each drank a cup of coffee.

Then, they took a few secretaries and rushed to a certain office building to attend the meeting.

At 9:30 AM, they started on time in a conference room.

Sitting across from them were several big figures in the eyes of others. Zheng Yongwen spoke eloquently, saying:

"My employer, Su Yehao, has prepared two plans, A and B. Plan A is for you to provide the land and calculate the value for joint development, and Plan B is to directly transfer the land to us. No matter which plan it is, it is better than the one you are currently studying. According to my calculations, both Plan A and Plan B can directly create about 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in revenue for the Hong Kong government and drive a total output value of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. You can take a look at the project proposals first."

A middle-aged woman in a suit asked suspiciously:

"Such a large project is unheard of. The investment scale is even larger than the Central Plaza and the International Finance Centre combined. Are you sure you really have the strength to successfully develop the land at Kai Tak Airport?"

Zhuang Wei, representing Su Yehao, immediately replied firmly:

"My boss, Su Yehao, has a personal net worth of nearly 10 billion US dollars. You can completely believe in his strength. In addition, this time we are only leading the project. Many Hong Kong developers have clearly expressed their willingness to participate. Bank of China Hong Kong Branch and Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank Hong Kong Branch have also given us loan commitments. Even with Plan B, we have the strength to complete it. If Plan A is finally approved, then there is even less need to worry."

Zheng Yongwen also said calmly:

"That's right."

"You mentioned before that Cyberport should be led by high-tech companies. I can't think of any other company in Hong Kong that is larger than Su Yehao's Yanzwen Group. His position in Silicon Valley is also beyond doubt."

"As long as we reach an agreement on supporting policies, he will fund the establishment of multiple research and development laboratories, including semiconductors, lithography machines, digital hardware, LCD screens, etc. The total investment scale is also at the level of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. I have already discussed this with him, and it is very consistent with the goal of Hong Kong's industrial upgrading and transformation."
