Chapter 266: First Encounter with Kyoto's High-Rise
At 5:30 p.m., Bao Zixuan and his party drove in the direction of the city government. Tonight they are going to attend a dinner organized by the city government, which is actually a simple dinner. At their level and level, they no longer care about what they eat, but they care more about who they eat with and where they eat.
What the Deep Sea City Government had prepared tonight could only be considered average, but several tycoon-level figures didn't care about it. At the dinner, there were Vice President Zhao, Mayor Zhou, Vice Mayor Zhang and a government secretary-general. As for Secretary Li, this matter is being investigated abroad, and he is not in Shenhai City.
After seeing Huo Yingdong and the others get out of the car, Mayor Zhou walked over and said, "Welcome to the deep sea this time, how do you feel about the changes in the deep sea this time!"
Huo Yingdong: "I can't imagine it, but the changes in the deep sea can be said to be changing with each passing day for most of the year. At this rate, it is estimated that it will be able to catch up with Xiangjiang in a few years. Although this is just a polite remark, no one expected that it would really catch up decades later. ”
Mayor Zhou: "A few people here, please, Vice President Zhao is waiting for you inside!"
After seeing Vice President Zhao, several people greeted each other. Seeing characters who could only be seen on TV in their previous lives are now around them, this world is really crazy.
After it was Bao Zixuan's turn, Vice President Zhao said, "Hello! ”
Listening to the title, Bao Zixuan knew that the other party might be afraid that he would be embarrassed and deliberately adjust the atmosphere. He replied with a smile: "Vice President Zhao, don't say that, how can I bear it, you can call me Xiaobao." ”
After a few people took their seats, Mayor Zhou first welcomed the arrival of several people on behalf of Shenhai City. At the same time, it is also hoped that the four people will increase their investment in the deep sea, which can also promote the development of the deep sea. After all, these people can't usually be invited, so how can they let go of such a good opportunity now.
The purpose of everyone coming here is not simply to eat, seeing that the heat is almost hot, Bao Zixuan said: "I also want to increase investment in the mainland, but the top priority now is to solve the problem of steel supply." The Black Cloud Resort project has been slow to build due to steel supply issues. So we want to build a modern steel plant on the mainland, I don't know what Vice President Zhao and Mayor Zhou think!"
Several members of the government were happy to hear that a modern steel plant was going to be built, but Vice President Zhao knew that things would never be that simple. After all, these investments are definitely not small amounts.
Vice President Zhao: "Xiao Baosheng, what kind of steel plant do you want to build, after all, the country is now negotiating with RB Nippon Steel to build a steel company in Shanghai." At that time, I am afraid that there will be a conflict with the domestic project, which will not be easy to solve. ”
Bao Zixuan: "We are ready to invest 5 billion US dollars to build a steel company, if there is domestic demand for products, we can supply the country, if there is no domestic demand, then we have no problem exporting." In addition, Huaxia currency can be used to settle payments in China, and the foreign exchange exported will basically stay in China to buy light industrial products. ”
Hearing such good conditions made Vice President Zhao and Mayor Zhou very moved. After all, the investment is too big, and even they don't have the authority to approve it.
Mayor Zhou: "What are the other conditions for Xiao Baosheng, is there a suitable location?"
Bao Zixuan: "The four of us hope to be a sole proprietorship, and I don't like to partner with other companies when doing business. It's going to be a hassle to manage, and we don't have a shortage of money. The location can be located in the deep sea salt pan area, where the sea is very convenient for transporting ore and finished products. ”
Vice President Zhao: "It's a good thing that you want to invest, and we will definitely support it." However, this project still needs to be asked for instructions from the superiors, and I think it is not a big problem, and the superiors should approve it as soon as possible. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Then thank you, but I like efficiency, if you can give me an answer tomorrow, I will arrange to buy equipment, after all, time is money, and none of us have much time to waste." ”
Hearing what Bao Zixuan said, although he was a little unhappy. However, when I thought of the age of the opposite, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Xiangjiang businessmen were needed to support national construction at any time. Bao Zixuan is the main representative of Xiangjiang businessmen, and if the other party does not invest, it will be a big loss for the country.
Vice President Zhao: "Xiao Baosheng, please rest assured." We will give you a satisfactory answer, and I will report back to the above tonight. ”
Hearing this, Bao Zixuan really didn't know what to say, after all, there were only a few big guys who could make Vice President Zhao report to work. It seems that the other party really takes his words seriously, which is too rare.
Several people chatted about other life topics, during which Bao Zixuan also chatted with Vice President Zhao about some professional issues in science and engineering. This made the others feel that they still had to learn more knowledge in the future, otherwise it would be difficult to even chat sometimes.
Vice President Zhao is also a very efficient person, and after Bao Zixuan and his party left, he called the senior management in Kyoto. Bao Zixuan, Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's idea of building a large-scale modern steel company in Shenhai City was introduced in detail. For example, the scale of investment exceeds 5 billion US dollars, which can be said to be more than the entire foreign exchange reserves of China, how can it not be exciting.
Unbeknownst to Bao Zixuan, his steel plant project had led to an overnight meeting of the top management in Kyoto to discuss it. After all, this project is too big for everyone to lose, but it can't affect the country's established overall strategic layout.
Some leaders suggested that it should be implemented in accordance with the 51/49 plan, after all, the steel industry is a strategic industry of a country. It must be in the hands of the state, and it is still not safe to be in the hands of private bosses. At this time, everyone's minds are not fully open, and it is normal to have such worries.
However, this plan was quickly rejected, and now every effort is being made to secure the steel project in Shanghai. If a large-scale steel enterprise is built in the deep sea at this time, there is no way to guarantee the funds. However, the lack of iron and steel in the south has been obvious, and if it is not solved, it will definitely slow down the intensity of reform and opening up.
Another point is that Huo Yingdong, Bao Zixuan, Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun have not approved their joint investment in the mainland, once this news comes out, it will be almost a devastating blow to the work of attracting investment. Who else will invest in the mainland, after all, the Chinese world has not yet considered that they have connections and strength compared to these four.
In the end, it was the highest level that said a paragraph before it was finally decided. Enterprises on the mainland can increase our comprehensive national strength, because after all, a large iron and steel enterprise is the guarantee of construction in peacetime and the raw material for military products in wartime. Both economic and strategic value are immeasurable, and since the patriotic businessmen of Xiangjiang want to invest, there is no reason not to support it.
Such a large-scale project, if we do not agree to settle in the mainland. Then it is necessary to close our doors and stand up, and it is estimated that Southeast Asian countries may have to set off firecrackers to celebrate, which is to push investors out.
Fok Yingdong is an old friend of ours, and Bao Zixuan is very influential internationally. Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun are both world-class ship kings. If we do not agree with their investment, then who else would dare to invest in the mainland.
This is a sensitive issue, and these people are not afraid of Hong Kong and British suppression, but they also want to come to the mainland to invest in large-scale projects. We are turning people away, so who else dares to believe us, in order to show sincerity, we can also appropriately reduce the price of land, so as to drive the enthusiasm of the rich people in Hong Kong.
It can be said that the emergence of Bao Zixuan has accelerated the pace of reform, and many policies that appeared only three years later have now been advanced. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but Bao Zixuan knows that while the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, he must work hard to improve his own strength and national strength. The next major opponent of the United States is definitely China, and the enterprises that the United States wants to suppress can only be black clouds.
