At noon on the second day after Zheng Yan and Liu Wei arrived in Hong Kong City, they met Li Bin and Li Jiajie at the hotel where they stayed.

"Zheng Yan, why didn't you say hello in advance this time? I used to live at home, but this time I stayed in a hotel, why is it getting more and more angry?"

"Uncle Li, where is this, mainly because I need Uncle Li's help with something this time, and before that, I am embarrassed to trouble you with such a trivial matter as accommodation. And in the next few years, I may have to live in Port City and prepare to buy a house on my own. ”

At this time, Li Jiajie happened to come over, and Li Bin had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, and the group went to the hotel first.

"Zheng Yan, you just said that you want to settle in Hong Kong City, you shouldn't have made a special trip to buy a house this time, right? As soon as a few people entered the room and sat down, Li Bin couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course not, the main purpose of this visit is to talk about a cooperation with the two uncles. ”

Zheng Yan saw that the two of them were interested, so he continued: "The two uncles are their own people, and I don't beat around the bush. At present, the mainland's reform has reached a certain level, but some problems have also emerged, and what we will soon face is the problem of reemployment of laid-off personnel. At present, there are too few private enterprises on the mainland to completely take over the laid-off personnel, so it is hoped that the two uncles can invest in enterprises that require a large amount of labor on the mainland. ”

"Zheng Yan, you also know the situation of my family, and you must also know your Uncle Jie's family's property. If, as you said, the government is already worried, there must be a lot of people, and no matter what investment we make, I'm afraid it won't be able to accept it, right?"

The situation of Li Bin's family is that there are investments in various industries, but they basically do not participate in management, so although Zheng Yan has not explained, Li Bin has lost interest.

"The two uncles listened to me first. At present, the official idea is only to carry out a pilot, and the industry is a supermarket chain, which is why I am looking for you, Uncle Jie. I know that your family already has a retail industry, and the mainland is a new market, so don't you have any interest in it?"

Zheng Yan glanced at the two of them, "The mainland official has given preferential policies of three exemptions and two reductions in terms of taxation, and other things involving the official have also been given the green light." There is only one requirement, that is, in terms of personnel recruitment, priority should be given to the recruitment of laid-off workers. ”

"Zheng Yan, do you know the main industries and profits of Hong Kong city enterprises investing in the mainland? At present, the main investment is in hotels and real estate, and almost all hotel investments are beyond their means, and the real estate aspect is better, but it is far from reaching the rate of return we expect. There is no company involved in the retail industry, because the current income level in the mainland is too low, and the per capita annual income is only a few thousand yuan, so..."

Although Li Jiajie's words were not finished, Zheng Yan already understood what he meant. In the supermarket chain industry, construction costs and operating costs are a lot of expenses, and he has no confidence in the consumption power of the mainland market.

"Uncle Jie, I understand what you mean. However, there are risks inherent in every investment, and the mainland is a market with great potential, right? At present, it is only a pilot project, and the investment will not be very large, once it succeeds, it will obtain huge benefits, even if it fails, I believe that this loss is nothing to you, right? Moreover, with the support of official policies, the possibility of loss is not large. ”

Zheng Yan felt that even if he didn't have the advantage of foresight, just looking at the current situation and following the footsteps of the mainland to carry out the pilot, he would not lose anything, and he didn't know why Li Jiajie refused so simply.

"Zheng Yan, as you said, this loss is not a dime a dime for us. If it is to donate from the perspective of supporting the development of the mainland, it is difficult to say that there is more, and tens of millions of dollars are still no problem, and perhaps it is not enough to carry out the pilot operation of supermarket chains, but we must be cautious in investing. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Yan was even more puzzled, and would rather donate the money directly than make an investment attempt, and with the support of the government, what kind of idea was this? Li Jiajie's next words gave Zheng Yan the answer.

"Zheng Yan, you should know that our current companies have all been listed. Once our main business follows in the footsteps of the mainland government and invests in the mainland, it will be invisibly recognized as our company's transformation to the mainland. In this case, once the investment fails, it is easy to be taken advantage of by people with good intentions and affect the stock price of our entire group. This is absolutely unacceptable to us, after all, this is our foundation. ”

Zheng Yan realized that it was not that they didn't want to try, and that the cost of trying to fail was too great.

Although Zheng Yan knows that this investment will make a lot of money, but I am afraid that no one will believe it when he says it, and Zheng Yan also has the feeling of sitting on wax for the first time.

"Zheng Yan, in fact, with your financial resources and your background in the mainland, you can try it yourself. The loss of defeat is nothing to you, but it can increase your weight in the government. ”

Zheng Yan smiled helplessly, "Uncle Li, you may not know that even if my current industry has been handed over to a few of my partners to take care of, I am just ready to invest in some potential companies, and I don't want to participate in management, it's too troublesome." I also have the intention of investing when I find you this time, but the premise is that you are the main one. ”

At this moment, Zheng Yan really felt that she was wronged, obviously an old hen laying golden eggs, and wanted to let someone else take over, but the other party was not interested at all.

"Zheng Yan, if you don't have the intention of investing yourself, I can help you find a way to get in touch. At present, there are some small companies in the port city, and it is unlikely that they want to have further development in the port city, after all, the market in the port city has been divided by several large companies, and perhaps these people have the idea of going to the mainland for development. ”

"Don't, Uncle Li, if that's the case, I might as well invest it myself. Although I'm afraid of trouble, but in a market worth hundreds of billions, I don't want to cheapen others for nothing. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it alone, but I could at least take a bite first. ”

On the one hand, Zheng Yan wants to help the official solve the problem, and on the other hand, he also pulls Li Bin and others, and Zheng Yan himself also has the intention of investing. But Zheng Yan will definitely not cheapen others in vain.
