Tonight, I don't have any plans, so I decided to set up the dinner.

Su Yehao wanted to first hear what his maternal grandpa’s friends were planning before deciding how to scheme for the “snatching food from the tiger’s mouth” scheme.

The Digital Port matter, circumventing the land auction and approval process, had caused quite a stir outside. All that was missing was a person willing to step forward and take responsibility. If Grandpa Tang wasn't afraid of retaliation, Su Yehao was even less so.

The two families' businesses didn't intersect much to begin with. When Seahills International was mainly in construction, it had considered cozying up to Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa, hoping for orders for construction and building materials, but unfortunately, they weren't interested.

By Su Yehao's generation, they had gradually moved beyond Casino and Hong Kong, with business mainly concentrated in the United States, followed by the mainland.

And his parents were also expanding northwards.

The main reason Tang's mother was considering listing Berkeley Healthcare Group was to raise funds to advance into the medical device and pharmaceutical industries in the north. She had already partnered with several medical colleges in the mainland and was preparing to build a first-class private general hospital next to the Seahills International cultural tourism city in Peng City.

In reality, compared to medical devices and chain pharmacies, private hospitals were a smaller business.

The Li family's influence, even in Hong Kong, was subject to restrictions, let alone extending their reach elsewhere. There was really no need to worry too much.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Su Yehao pushed the old man's wheelchair downstairs, taking him for a walk in the newly built garden and visiting Van Gogh's "Stormy Sky."

This painting wasn't very famous before, but recently it had been frequently mentioned by the media. As a result, many people knew about its existence.

From this, it seemed that its value should have increased.

After admiring it up close, Grandpa Tang said with a smile:

"The news that our family spent money to buy the Min Fang Lei seems to have spread in Japan. Many people there have contacted me, wanting to sell me some good things at high prices."

Su Yehao thought his maternal grandpa was getting excited again, so he shook his head and said with emotion:

"Unless we encounter a truly rare national treasure, it's better to buy less of this kind of thing. Why spend so much money to buy back things that were taken away by burning, killing, and looting? No matter how you think about it, it's not worth it. Instead of spending funds on this, it's better to keep it in hand to snipe at certain Japanese industries, such as LCD screens and lithography machines. I'm very envious of those."

The old man nodded and said:

"I was just saying. However, the past transaction records of the Min Fang Lei are relatively clear. It wasn't robbed, but sold by unscrupulous merchants. When you get to my age, it's not too late to cultivate your moral character when you have nothing to do. There's really no need to spend too much now. Funds should be used where they're needed most."

Su Yehao pushed the wheelchair and continued to take the old man to visit other collections.

For example, the dragon head displayed in the display case, and the stainless steel balloon dog bought back at a high price.

Comparing the two, the difference was probably like that between an old artist and a popular celebrity. The former might have more connotation and charm, while the latter was more popular.

According to the latest news, Sotheby's in New York recently sold a Jeff Koons' heart-shaped stainless steel work, further creating a sky-high price of $2.7 million.

In other words, these two balloon dogs bought by Su Yehao might have already appreciated by five or six million dollars.

After all, they were the artist's representative works and had more speculative value.

That modern artist hitched a ride on Yang Zhiyuan and Su Yehao's bandwagon, widening his path all at once.

The old man couldn't appreciate this stuff. Leaving the European-style small castle, they went to the pond where water lilies were planted to feed the koi and bask in the sun...

——————————————

It was a little after ten in the morning.

Nangong Tian, ​​holding her laptop, ran happily all the way to Su Yehao to show him the pictures on the screen, and told him:

"The first water house on Velaa Private Island is finally completed! The rest have also been built with the framework. It is estimated that they can all be completed in another two months. Let's find a chance to go and see them again then. You can see sea turtles and manta rays in the water from the window."

Ever since he remembered the tsunami a few years later, Su Yehao had been worried that something would happen at that time.

The problem that gave him a headache was that he couldn't remember the exact date, so it was difficult to defend against.

Fortunately, he remembered that Southeast Asia was more severely affected. As for the situation in the Maldives, he had no relevant impression at all. He should be fine if he was careful.

After appreciating the water houses of Velaa through the screen's poor image quality, Su Yehao said with a smile, "It's very beautiful, congratulations. It will definitely attract many guests during the peak season this year. By the way, has Jiang Yu contacted her dad for you? Are there any tourists from Hong Kong going to play?"

"...There is a batch of tourists every week. You are really forgetful. You don't care about my business at all. I clearly mentioned it to you before."

After the little girl complained, Su Yehao couldn't laugh or cry. He joked, "Your little mouth babbles from morning till night. How can I remember everything? Sometimes I'm already wandering in the sky."

"Hmph, you called me Little Sweetie before we were together, but now you嫌嫌 I'm too talkative?"

Stretching out her hand to pinch Su Yehao's neck, Nangong Tian continued to smile and said, "Fortunately, you and Jiang Shiye and the others have jointly opened a travel agency, otherwise I would definitely have a headache for not finding customers. Several islands in the Maldives are being developed, and they will all compete with us for business."

Su Yehao put his arms around the girl and smiled:

"When the channels for traveling to the Maldives from the mainland are opened, I'm afraid there won't be enough rooms on the island. With me helping you make suggestions, will you still be afraid of not having customers? You can be a boss lady with peace of mind and wait to collect money. I'm having dinner with Grandpa tonight, and there will be several real estate developers. Do you want to go over for a free meal?"

"Why eat with real estate developers? To talk about business?"

"..."

After briefly explaining the cause and effect, Su Yehao mentioned at this moment:

"I have an immature idea. If the Digital Port is built at the old Kai Tak Airport, and I and the higher-ups jointly invest in the development, wouldn't this plan of utilizing the old land be more reasonable? Developers in Hong Kong will definitely be happy to transfer a few plots of land. The officials will not only receive money, but also avoid facing external criticism, and at the same time solve the problem of re-planning the old Kai Tak Airport. I can also profit from it, killing several birds with one stone... What do you think?"

"...Wait a minute, I didn't understand."

Explaining it again slowly.

According to Su Yehao's idea, he attempted to transfer the residential land in the project through a normal land auction to raise a sum of money.

Then, let the higher-ups take out the land at Kai Tak Airport, plus some funds, and jointly invest with Su Yehao to jointly develop the Digital Port office area.

Others only had their eyes on the residential area, and it was estimated that no one would compete with him for this piece of cake.

At that time, other developers will get the residential land, and Su Yehao will be able to take the opportunity to take a share of the equity in the office park.

As for the official side, they can receive money, make use of the waste at Kai Tak Airport, and avoid being scolded like now.

The little girl understood this time. After looking at the map, she cautiously suggested:

"But Kowloon is not as good as the location in western Hong Kong Island. The place that the Li family is looking at is very close to Sheung Wan. You also said that they plan to make money through housing. If you give up the housing, relying solely on rentals and the appreciation of office buildings, the income should not be so much, but the initial investment is particularly large. Isn't it equivalent to sharing the expenses for the higher-ups, but not earning enough benefits?"

Su Yehao frowned and thought for a while, and said:

"Yes, we need to study it more carefully. If the higher-ups provide the land at Kai Tak Airport, and I am responsible for the development funds, and both parties take up the corresponding shares, develop it as a purely office and residential complex project, and don't give rent reductions to the high-tech companies that move in, that's fine. But in this way, it doesn't fit the original intention of building a Digital Port, which is a bit difficult..."
