Koko Ventures' Deputy General Manager Lin personally led a team to Japan, coordinating with the McKinsey consulting team to start approaching SK-II.

　　After learning the news, Nong Qingying also greeted Su Yehao and bought a plane ticket to join in the fun.

　　An acquisition worth tens of millions of US dollars isn't particularly large or small.

　　Su Yehao's mind wasn't on it.

　　After taking the time to hold meetings with the managers of the former Donghuang Garden Hotel and Century Square, arranging for renaming, renovations, and recruiting employees who speak Mandarin, he finally had an excuse to go see Master Jiang.

　　These two projects were originally prepared for the travel company's customers. The Hi~o(*￣▽￣*)ブ Garden Hotel is a five-star hotel and is relatively high-end, so it can start receiving guests at any time.

　　The Donghuang Century Square, which will soon be renamed Hello~o(*￣▽￣*)ブ Square, would be a bit of a loss if it were made into a low-end hotel. At the very least, it should be a four-star hotel, positioned in the mid-to-high-end range, to avoid affecting the value of the building itself and maximize profits.

　　Nowadays, mainland tourists who come to Hong Kong all have some money in their pockets. If they're just going out for a few days, some people will definitely be willing to spend money to enjoy themselves.

　　Judging from the number of tourists, it's enough to support the occupancy rate of several hundred rooms.

　　As for the specific cooperation, Master Jiang still needs to draft a plan for a boutique tour. In addition, Su Yehao is also sending people to look for small-sized residential buildings willing to transfer ownership, preparing to buy them with loans from his own company.

　　It's only August, and if he completes the preparations in time, he still has a chance to catch the National Day Golden Week tourist season.

　　Su Yehao has already entrusted Assistant Zhuang Wei and others to help establish a hotel management company, find some experienced talents, and specialize in handling the trivial matters of the hotel business.

　　It's not just about running a hotel, but also about bottom-fishing in the real estate market. Although the dream of lying at home and collecting rent hasn't been realized yet, making some money by running a hotel doesn't seem bad either...

　　Sitting in his Rolls-Royce, he arrived at the headquarters of Honghao International Travel Company.

　　This company has rented two floors of office space in the office building. Currently, the headquarters employs more than one hundred employees, mainly responsible for finance, customer service, formulating tour routes, etc. It also plans to open offices in Pengcheng, Shanghai, Sijiu City, Guangzhou and other places. The development speed is very fast.

　　Taking the elevator upstairs, Su Yehao went directly to find Master Jiang.

　　When he saw this partner, whom he originally thought would be his son-in-law, Master Jiang felt a little uncomfortable. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Young Master Su, it's rare to see you at the company. What wind has blown you here today?"

　　"Last time you said there weren't enough hotels, so I bought Donghuang Garden, and a building too, which I'm also planning to turn into a hotel. I'll have to rely on you to help find customers then." Su Yehao had a good relationship with Master Jiang, so he sat down casually and directly instructed the secretary who came with him to make a cup of coffee.

　　Master Jiang said with a smile, "I heard my daughter mention that you are also the major shareholder of this travel company. Naturally, we won't let the benefits go to outsiders. I'll make arrangements even if you don't say so. By the way, did she tell you that I'm planning to buy a house at Shangfeng Shangshui (a residential area)?"

　　"Yes, a resident referral, right? Jiang Yu has already mentioned it."

　　Seeing Master Jiang take the initiative to bring this up, Su Yehao pretended to be puzzled and said:

　　"Jiang Yu said she was moving out yesterday, which was really surprising. I only found out after asking that you wanted to buy a house. I don't feel like it's necessary, she's been living pretty well at my place, and the room for price increases in Hong Kong's real estate market is limited. If you want to buy a house for retirement, I suggest you go to Pengcheng. My dad's developed a cultural tourism town, with a golf course next to the villas and a bay nearby. It's likely to increase eight or ten times in the future. Wouldn't it be great to live in a large villa?"

　　"...Buying a house in Pengcheng, I hadn't thought of that."

　　As soon as Master Jiang finished speaking, Su Yehao couldn't wait to tell him, "Then think about it. I'll sell it to you at cost price then, my dad would definitely be happy."

　　Master Jiang pondered for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile:

　　"It's indeed inconvenient to retire in Casino, 1997. Since you, young master, say it's cheap, then I'll wait until it's developed, sell my house in Casino, 1997, and go buy a large villa. But I still want to buy a house at Shangfeng Shangshui. I want Jiang Yu to stay and develop in Hong Kong in the future, and she can't always live at your house. It'll cause gossip, and the current price is indeed very tempting. It's a feng shui treasure in the Mid-Levels, especially livable, and I can be your neighbor then."

　　"Cough cough cough!"

　　Su Yehao thought he had succeeded easily after hearing the first few sentences, but he didn't expect Master Jiang to plan on buying both places. He was so choked that he couldn't catch his breath and coughed several times.

　　It's much more difficult to fool Master Jiang than to fool Jiang Yu.

　　Since he couldn't find a reason to dissuade Master Jiang, Master Jiang naturally wouldn't change his mind easily.

　　Seeing that Master Jiang seemed to have made a decision, Su Yehao secretly thought that it might be easier to persuade Nong Qingying to move, so he didn't insist anymore and only said, "I'm living pretty comfortably in Big Wave Bay. When the market is slightly better, I'll probably sell the house at Shangfeng Shangshui. I might not be able to be your neighbor."

　　Once Jiang Yu and Master Jiang move over, he definitely wouldn't go there often to avoid awkward encounters.

　　Nong Qingying doesn't live in Su Yehao's penthouse anymore, and it's even less suitable for Yin Liuli to live there. He himself has a better villa, so there's no reason to keep it.

　　If he can't afford to offend them, he can avoid them.

　　Hearing this, Master Jiang said in surprise:

　　"Really? The penthouse has the largest area and the most expensive price. If I really couldn't afford it, I would have been tempted. But in the current market, it's indeed not suitable to sell a house. We'll talk about it later. Oh, by the way, there's something you might not know yet. Our company was sued this morning."

　　"Sued?"

　　Su Yehao asked in surprise, "What for?"

　　"Last month, we arranged a tour group to go to the plateau. Who knew that an old man living in Sai Kung developed pneumonia and a fever on the second day and didn't wake up until four days later. We paid for all the medical expenses. His daughter is suing us, demanding compensation of 3.7 million. It's ridiculous. They should clearly go to the insurance company. It's not like we didn't buy him insurance."

　　Master Jiang lit a cigar and said with a gloomy face:

　　"One troublesome thing after another. I've already arranged for a lawyer to handle it. The tour guide said that the old man was coughing frequently on the plane when he left, so he might have already been sick. Your mom runs a hospital, so why don't you ask her if she has the old man's information? It feels like we're being scammed."

　　3.7 million Hong Kong dollars is not a small amount. After Su Yehao read the lawsuit materials, he nodded and said, "Alright, but patient records need to be kept confidential. Even if we find the information, we might not be able to win."

　　Master Jiang was more experienced than him in dealing with these matters, so he replied decisively:

　　"But after seeing the medical records, we'll know which aspects to investigate. If the company loses money, it'll be like working for nothing for a month. The tourists who went to the plateau all signed health commitment forms, and the risks were also informed. We don't have any problems here."

　　Nodding, Su Yehao took out his cell phone and said, "Alright, I'll ask my mom now. She should know some big lawyers..."
