At half past five in the afternoon, Li Guangyu's special plane arrived at Huacheng Airport, and this time in addition to Li Ka-shing and his assistant, the crew also included Gan Qin, Chen Qixin, and their bodyguards.

After nearly four years of construction, the White Swan Hotel will finally be officially opened to the public tomorrow, which is the first joint venture hotel between Xiangjiang entrepreneurs and the mainland government since the reform and opening up, in addition to the special zone, which has provided a lot of experience for the development of the mainland hotel industry.

In the evening of the same day, Li Guangyu held talks with senior officials of the Guangdong provincial government at the Huacheng Hotel.

A senior official of the provincial government said: "Mr. Li, thank you for coming to attend the opening ceremony of the White Swan Hotel. ”

In addition to Li Guangyu and Li Ka-shing coming over in Xiangjiang this time, there are also Fok Yingdong, Bao Yugang, Hu Yingxiang, Cao Debiao and others, and the opening of the White Swan Hotel can be described as quite grand.

Li Guangyu responded politely: "I am very honored to be able to attend the opening ceremony of the White Swan Hotel, I believe that the White Swan Hotel will develop better and better in the future, and this cooperation between Huo Sheng and you will be a win-win situation." ”

At present, the provincial senior officials did not expect how hot the business of the White Swan Hotel would be in the future, and he also felt that Li Guangyu was more polite, after all, the Li consortium's own current hotel group is expanding around the world, and Li Guangyu may know better than him about the future development of the hotel.

At present, the reform and opening up is still being promoted, and now they can't come up with a policy on Regal Hotel investment, after all, Regal Hotel Group and the group under the Li Consortium are basically self-owned properties that need to be used, and they can't give such a policy at present, so the provincial senior officials did not mention inviting Li Guangyu's hotel group to come and invest.

He still hopes that the Li consortium will allow its production companies to invest in Guangdong Province as much as possible, provide more jobs in Guangdong Province, and promote the economic development of Guangdong Province.

Since the beginning of this year, the Li consortium has focused its expansion on the Ludao Special Economic Zone, and although the business of the production company in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone has not decreased, it has not increased its business due to the establishment of a new production base in the Ludao Special Economic Zone.

As a senior official of the Guangdong provincial government, he naturally hoped that the Li consortium would establish production companies in Guangdong Province.

The provincial senior official said: "Mr. Li, Xiangjiang and Pengcheng are adjacent to each other, and the investment of the Li consortium in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone over the years has also allowed us to work together and develop together, so that we can both benefit each other. The Pengcheng Special Economic Zone has more advantages for Hong Kong than other special zones, and we look forward to strengthening cooperation with the Lee Consortium in all aspects to promote the development of both sides." ”

This year, because Pengyu Group no longer OEM production of Hongyu clothing group's sports products, so the business in this area has decreased a lot, but fortunately, Pengyu Group's own brand has been filled, so that the overall business volume of Pengyu Group has not decreased.

Hongyu Apparel Group Feiyu Sports Brand Production Company is now mainly located in the Ludao Special Economic Zone of Fujian Province, where a garment production company with 3,000 employees and a shoe production company with 2,000 employees have been established.

In addition, the new production company is under construction, which is expected to start production in June next year, and the total number of employees will exceed 10,000 by then.

Li Guangyu said: "Our group attaches great importance to the development of Pengcheng area, because Pengyu Group is in the process of transformation, so some aspects will be fine-tuned, but our group to increase investment in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone will not change, Pengcheng Special Economic Zone is still the focus of our Li enterprises investment area." ”

Provincial senior officials also know that Pengyu Group is slowly transitioning from the previous OEM group to independent products, and the products of the previous OEM will slowly come to an end.

The operation of its own brand can enhance the comprehensive strength and competitiveness of the group, as the group registered in Pengcheng, to develop like this, the provincial senior officials are still very willing to see.

However, he still has a slight regret for the loss of Hongyu Apparel Group's sports series business, if these businesses remain in the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, they will be able to increase nearly 10,000 jobs in the Special Economic Zone.

"Our provincial government attaches great importance to the construction of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, and I also believe that Pengcheng Special Economic Zone will not live up to your trust, and our government will do its best to serve your enterprise to ensure that your investment can be landed early, built and operated as soon as possible, and at the same time try to meet the needs of your enterprise in terms of employees. ”

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the government's attention to our enterprise, we also believe that the future development of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone can achieve brilliant achievements, we are planning a food and beverage group, mainly engaged in instant noodles and mineral water, juice, herbal tea and other aspects of business, we plan to produce the company will be placed in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone." ”

Provincial senior officials are quite happy to hear this, these enterprises also need a large number of employees, the establishment of a group by the Li consortium will never make a small fuss, when the time is estimated that several brand production bases will start at the same time, Pengcheng Special Economic Zone can fully rely on the Li consortium to drive, establish a food and beverage industrial park, and promote the development of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone.

The establishment of the food and beverage production base by the Li consortium is followed by a series of supporting companies, such as beverage bottle production companies, packaging bag production companies, carton packaging production companies, and possibly some special packaging production companies.

The establishment of these companies will bring very good economic benefits to the special economic zone.

The provincial senior official said: "We very much welcome Li's group to invest in our special zone, our mainland is far lower than Xiangjiang in terms of raw materials and labor costs, and we are constantly improving the transportation facilities in Pengcheng to facilitate the transportation of your enterprises." ”

In the following talks, Li Guangyu put forward his intention to acquire the herbal tea formula of Guangdong Huacheng Pharmaceutical Company.

The senior official of the provincial government did not immediately agree, nor did he immediately refuse, but said to Li Guangyu: "I will give feedback on this issue to Huacheng Pharmaceutical Company, and they will make an assessment and decide whether they intend to sell the herbal tea formula and copyright." ”

In this regard, they still need to carefully study and discuss, whether to sell the herbal tea formula to the Li consortium, after all, this is a century-old brand, and its reputation is quite good, and he still needs to discuss it with the senior management of Huacheng Pharmaceutical Company before making a decision.

Li Guangyu was not disappointed by this, after all, such an acquisition could not be decided in a few words, and it would take many negotiations to have a chance to reach an agreement.

At the end of the meeting, the provincial senior official said: "Mr. Li, after we have discussed, we will give you an answer as soon as possible to avoid affecting the follow-up development of your group." ”

After returning to the room, Chen Qixin said: "Li Sheng, it seems that it is not easy for us to win the herbal tea formula of Huacheng Pharmaceutical Company, but I don't know how their company's senior management views this formula." ”

Li Guangyu is not too worried now, there is not much market for this herbal tea at present, it is estimated that Huacheng Pharmaceutical Company will not take it too seriously, plus their group has established a production company in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, there is still hope to get the formula and copyright, but the price is estimated to be a little more expensive.

Thinking about the huge benefits in the future, it is not unacceptable that this aspect is not unacceptable, and it depends on how the government chooses.
