Chapter 1159: The Touchstone

In the later talks, the headquarters of the Rongguoyu Expressway Company was placed in Guocheng, which was also insisted by Li Guangyu, and the senior level of the provincial government did not feel too much embarrassment, although they planned to be headquartered in Rongcheng, since Li Guangyu wanted to choose Guocheng, they also gave up their previous plans.

Li Guangyu said: "Chief Jiang, we will inject 5 billion yuan into the Rongguoyu Expressway Company for the start of the construction of the expressway project this year, and in the future, we will inject funds into the company every month according to the time node to ensure that the construction period funds are not in arrears." ”

Li Guangyu has more advantages than Hopewell Industrial in that he has a lot of renminbi in the mainland, especially in recent years, Pengyu Group, Meiqi Garment Group, Hengyu Supermarket Group, Nanhua Group, China Electric Group, etc., these companies have accumulated a large amount of renminbi for him in the mainland.

You must know that the fresh agricultural products and various specialties imported by Hengyu Supermarket Group to the mainland have been settled in Hong Kong dollars until now, and Li Guangyu has not used the renminbi earned by Li Guangyu in the mainland.

Now Hengyu Supermarket Group has closed the company that once specialized in the direct sale of fresh meat from the mainland to Xiangjiang, and the most important thing is that Hengyu Supermarket Group is willing to settle with the mainland supply company in Hong Kong dollars, you must know that the mainland is still very short of foreign exchange, if Li Guangyu settles in RMB, the mainland is estimated to continue to operate directly in Xiangjiang for foreign exchange.

In the past nearly 10 years, Li Guangyu's profits in the mainland have been the construction of production companies, in addition to the salaries of mainland employees, and he has never transferred a penny of renminbi.

The funds needed in these two places, the renminbi in his account is far from enough, coupled with the construction of gas stations in various places, Li Guangyu has basically hollowed out the accumulation of these years from this capital injection of 5 billion yuan, and then he needs to rely on the profits of several major groups and he will continue to inject capital into the mainland.

South China Electrical Appliance Chain Group is now profitable is not bad, but they still need to leave funds for expansion, Li Guangyu is not very good at transferring his company's funds, Hengyu Supermarket Group development is restricted, and now it can only be opened in cities open to the outside world, and the profit is not too much.

Li Guangyu is very happy about the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway now, and at this time, he will use all the renminbi in his hand, and he will not need to worry about the future currency depreciation.

If you have nearly 10 billion in your hand, it won't take long for the value of the currency to be reduced by half, Li Guangyu feels distressed when he thinks about it, the official exchange rate has been declining over the years, and now it is 3.7, you must know that it was still 3.4 last year, Li Guangyu knows that it will continue to fall in the future, and the faster it is used at this time, the better.

Chief Jiang is very aware of Li Guangyu's strength, he is not worried that the Li consortium will not be able to come up with follow-up construction funds, and he has no opinion on Li Guangyu's start-up capital injection of 5 billion yuan.

Not to mention other assets, only the Changan Hengtong Bus Company and Changan Linghu Automobile Company, which are joint ventures between Bentley Group and Changan Automobile Company, now have good performance.

At present, in the entire southwest region, many automobile companies will buy Hengtong buses, especially long-distance transportation companies, Linghu Automobile is also the main official procurement model of the southwest region government, with a share of more than 80% in the new purchase of cars in the southwest region.

Whether it is Santana or FAW Kirin, it is far from being able to compare with Chang'an Linghu in the southwest region, and now they Linghu Automobile also has a good market in Guangdong Province.

Chief Jiang said: "Mr. Li, the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway can be said to have set a precedent in our mainland, involving the basic transportation projects by foreign capital holdings, which was difficult to imagine before, at present our reform and opening up is still in the exploration stage, Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway is a touchstone."

According to the approval of the central government, on the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, we will only arrange a deputy general manager and deputy financial director in Sichuan and Shu Province to supervise the normal operation of the company and will not interfere with your management. ”

Whether it is Huapeng Expressway or Rongguoyu Expressway, it is the touchstone approved by the central government, and it also provides experience for future high-speed construction.

The construction and later operation of the two expressways will be summarized by special personnel, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two modes, and providing more ideas for future expressway construction.

Especially the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, there will be more attention here, after all, the Huapeng Expressway is still controlled by the Guangdong Provincial Government, and it is better to turn around if there is any problem, and the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway is the absolute controlling stake of the Kowloon Group, and the approval of the construction of this expressway can be said that the central government has taken a lot of courage.

In such a period, in the hinterland of the southwest, the establishment of a high-speed controlled by foreign capital, which is beyond the imagination of many people, is also facing a lot of pressure, if it is not for Li Guangyu's influence is large enough, and at the same time the high-level wants to show the sincerity of opening up to Heung Kong Capital, this is absolutely impossible.

The biggest impact this time is that not long ago, Kowloon Group spent 60 billion Hong Kong dollars to build the Baodao Middle 2 Expressway, with a total construction period of 10 years and a total of 420 kilometers.

At the official exchange rate, the Rongguoyu Expressway is about the same in terms of cost and mileage, although they are relatively cheaper in labor, but the tunnel and construction are relatively difficult.

However, the construction period of the Zhonger Expressway is as long as ten years, and I don't know if it is due to the fact that the existing Zhongshan Expressway is available, and Kowloon Group is not in a hurry to complete the construction of the Zhonger Expressway.

At the same time, Kowloon Group, together with the Bank of Hong Kong and Hsinchu Commercial Bank, once again invested 23 billion Hong Kong dollars in the construction of Taipei MRT Line 2 and Taipei Line 3, with a planned construction period of four years.

In just two projects, the Li consortium and the Bank of Hong Kong invested more than 80 billion Hong Kong dollars in Baodao, which also prompted the approval of the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway and the Huapeng Expressway.

Even if the Li consortium and Heung Kong Capital have brought a lot of foreign exchange to the mainland over the years, especially the Hengyu Supermarket Group, which has been continuously creating foreign exchange for the mainland every day, the demand for the mainland is also increasing day by day, so that the mainland's current foreign exchange reserves are less than 5 billion US dollars.

Chief Jiang knew very well that it was very easy for the Li consortium to come up with five billion US dollars, especially Tianyu Bank and Xiangjiang Bank, both of which have huge foreign exchange reserves.

Now he is not worried about the strength of the Li consortium, he only hopes that this expressway can be built and operated well, and can bring benefits to Sichuan and Shu Province, he does not want any turmoil on the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, after all, this contract was signed by him personally, if there is any problem, he is the first person responsible.

Li Guangyu said: "Sir Jiang, please rest assured that our operation in the mainland will strictly abide by the rules and regulations of the mainland, and we will prepare in advance in terms of funds, and there will definitely be no shortage of funds leading to stagnation in construction. ”

As for the Li consortium's industrial situation in the mainland, Chief Jiang is still very clear: Since last year, the Li consortium has established party branches in various enterprises in the mainland, which is the only foreign-funded enterprise.

In particular, the secretary of the party branch of Pengyu Group is concurrently served by the director of the Pengcheng Special Zone Management Committee, which is generally a member of the Standing Committee of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee.

Due to the great influence of the Li consortium, there are many employees in its production workshop, and each production company has a local government to arrange a politically competent cadre to serve as the secretary of the company's party branch.

In addition to Pengyu Group, there are also Pengcheng's Meiqi Garment Group, China Electric Appliance Group Production Company, Nanhua Group Production Company, and Ludao's Feiyu Group Production Company, which are deputy department-level cadres serving or concurrently serving as party branch secretaries.

In the past year or so, it has stabilized the thinking of the employees of the mainland company of the Li Foundation, and also made the senior management more at ease with the Li Foundation.
