Two pieces of news, neither good.

Out of caution, getting a bill passed by the Legislative Council is too troublesome.

The sheer amount of work is one aspect, but more importantly, it wastes time—discussions, research, public consultation periods, voting… and if there's no result, it continues.

If only it were just that.

The process could be completed as quickly as possible while preparing the factory.

But now, someone actually wants to stir up trouble, playing that joint venture game.

Although Su Yehao does hope someone will share the investment with him, so he can invest the money in other more profitable projects, it's obvious that once they get involved, he will be constrained in the future.

Such as building a factory in the north later on.

Frankly speaking, Su Yehao believes that the north's investment promotion policies, plus electricity, water, labor costs, and so on, are much more cost-effective than in Hong Kong. They have shown great sincerity in the Qianxin City project.

If he wasn't worried about being held back in the future, restricting development in certain fields, he wouldn't bother "reclaiming wasteland" in Hong Kong.

There is definitely a reason why Hong Kong lags so far behind in the high-tech field. In the past, they made pots of money in finance, foreign trade, real estate, and service industries. With a small population and high welfare, they even dare to charge only a registration fee for universal healthcare. No one is willing to do thankless work and invest in high-tech industries.

The fact that the second young master of the Li family could carry the banner of a technological leader for several years just by investing in the telecommunications industry is enough to explain many problems.

The so-called Cyberport is actually mainly a residential and commercial real estate project.

If Su Yehao wasn't thinking of placing the R&D center in Cyberport to circumvent the Wassenaar Arrangement's suppression and restrictions on the north, Cyberport could even become a pure real estate project.

What annoys Su Yehao the most at the moment is that someone is meticulously calculating, wanting to use investment to replace subsidies.

Wouldn't this be equivalent to falling behind the semiconductor factories in South Korea and the island as soon as it starts, losing some of the financial subsidy support?

It hasn't been discussed in detail yet, but from a businessman's point of view, Su Yehao has no doubt that once he chooses to compromise, he will be regarded as an easy target.

At this moment.

He said to Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen through his phone:

"Are there many people preparing to invest in me, that they even want to take advantage of this kind of cheap opportunity? When the specific draft comes out, I will personally take action. If it really doesn't work, we'll just break up. Please, Mr. Zheng, help me spread the news, tell them that the semiconductor industrial park doesn't necessarily have to be located here. Sure enough, too many cooks spoil the broth. They're so eager to profit from even the smallest things. They're talented indeed."

Zheng Yongwen replied helplessly:

"According to what I've heard, this suggestion was put forward by an economist, with the aim of ensuring the sustainable growth of fiscal reserve funds. Tax reductions and exemptions should not be less. Specifics still need to be studied. Bargaining is just a give-and-take process. To put it bluntly, someone appreciates your ability by taking a liking to your project. They may not dare to invest in someone else. In my opinion, it should be considered support."

"They're clearly using me as a coolie, so I have to thank them?"

Su Yehao was amused and then added, "My requirements are very clear. The necessary subsidies cannot be less. I don't mind making money for them, but they must not interfere with my management, only have supervisory rights. Also… I haven't thought about it yet, but I don't want to argue with anyone, especially when it comes to subsequent financing and personnel matters."

With Deputy Dean Zheng Yongwen's mind, he can naturally see how much benefit it would bring to Hong Kong to seize the time to develop high-tech industries.

Even those oil-rich guys in the Middle East are thinking about sustainable development all day long, vigorously supporting other industries while seizing opportunities to invest abroad.

Hong Kong currently has too high a proportion of tertiary industries and real estate, and almost no one thinks about going to work in factories.

The Southeast Asian financial crisis has already made him see the fragility of the local economy, too much influenced by international factors. Even now, more than 100,000 people cannot find jobs, and talent is also flowing out.

It's not easy to encounter a sucker willing to invest in high value-added manufacturing. Even though Zheng Yongwen is acting on Su Yehao's behalf, he hasn't forgotten to consider others, so he rarely takes the initiative and tells him:

"Don't worry, I will definitely fight for a new plan for you. The Chief Executive Officer asked me to play golf at the Shek O Country Club the day after tomorrow, wanting to understand the planning of the semiconductor industrial park. It's very close to your home, why don't we go together?"

"… I'll see when the time comes. Socializing isn't my area of expertise."

As soon as Su Yehao finished speaking.

Zheng Yongwen joked, "Yes, of course I know. Lying down and resting yourself, ordering others around is your specialty, right? A friend of mine's daughter works in your family office. It seems like she works overtime all the time, so busy that she's mentally exhausted."

"That was in the past, right? Now there are more than a hundred people in total, so they shouldn't be too busy."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he rubbed his chin, thinking that if this bad reputation spread, wouldn't it delay the assistant office from recruiting talent?

While there's still money on hand.

It seems like it's time to give them more bonuses and publicize it vigorously.

……

Negotiations have only just begun, and the specific plan is still early.

Unlike many people's petty attitudes, Su Yehao believes that in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, the higher-ups will most likely give the green light and let it go, after all, the initiative is on his side.

Considering that Shanghai Huarong has already cooperated with Japan to obtain more advanced DRAM storage chip production technology, it's not entirely impossible to open the wafer foundry in Pengcheng first. It's just planning for the future.

If it involves CPUs for computers, a mainland company will always be more likely to be suppressed than a Hong Kong company, and it will be easier to be affected in terms of technology transfer, acquisition, and cooperation.

Putting this matter aside for the time being.

Sitting at Xiao Nizi's desk, Su Yehao flipped through the script of *Fengyun*, which had just been written for more than ten episodes.

A script is different from a novel, with various characters speaking back and forth, plus many scenes, making it a headache to read.

Before Xiao Nizi went out, she had just won the adaptation rights to *Chinese Paladin*, and the contract was still on the desk, with a transaction price of only 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. He was considering whether he should wait for Ling'er. If someone else played the role, it always felt like something was missing.

Some girls are charming, some girls are quiet, but if you want to play an ancient costume character with a fairy-like, agile spirit, it's too difficult.

After Jiang Yu answered a phone call, she went out to pick up her junior from elementary school.

When Su Yehao saw the other party, his expression suddenly became strange, because compared to Jiang Yu and this junior, Jiang Yu looked like a younger sister.

This "junior."

Was about 1.7 meters tall, and was wearing high heels. She had a brown wavy hairstyle and was dressed very fashionably. Some people would believe it if she said she was twenty-seven or eight years old.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Su Yehao glanced at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't understand his eyes at all, and very enthusiastically greeted this junior to sit down.

Sure enough.

It can only be said that men's and women's aesthetics are indeed very different.

Su Yehao was already thinking about finding a group of men to select members for a girl group, and another group of women to select members for a boy group, with cross-evaluation.

For no reason, he thought of the talent shows of later generations, which gave Su Yehao a flash of inspiration. He discovered that he could also create a variety show, similar to *Go Fighting!* or *Running Man*.

Nowadays, TV is full of interviews and news, which is too boring.

Market prospects and whether it can make money are not important. The reason why he had the idea of creating a variety show was purely because Su Yehao himself wanted to watch it, to pass the time after filming it…
