In the afternoon, Li Guangyu also had no spare time to play, and held talks with the deputy governor in charge of transportation of the Guangdong Provincial Government, as well as Hu Yingxiang and Huo Yingdong, in the conference room of the hotel.

This time is mainly because of the Huacheng to Pengcheng Expressway, this highway is different from the Rongguoyu Expressway, the expressway is controlled by the Kowloon Group, and Sichuan and Shu Province can take the land occupied along the way, and there is no need to invest too much money.

The Huapeng Expressway is controlled by the Guangdong Provincial Government, so the government needs to contribute a certain proportion of construction funds, and the current Guangdong Provincial Government is not financially sufficient, the construction funds of the Guangdong Provincial Government hope to obtain loans from the bank, and wait for the Huapeng Expressway to generate income, and then return.

The purpose of their visit to Li Guangyu this time was to obtain a loan from Tianyu Bank for this high-speed construction.

Huapeng Expressway plans to invest 6 billion yuan, with the Guangdong provincial government holding 51% of the shares of Huapeng Expressway Development Company with land along the route and 2.3 billion yuan in cash, and Heung Kong Hopewell Industrial owning 49% of the company with 3.7 billion yuan of capital investment.

Now the company has invested 1 billion yuan in the early stage, of which the Guangdong provincial government has invested 300 million, and the Guangdong provincial government needs to invest 2 billion yuan in the future.

Such a fund is still very huge for the current financial pressure of Guangdong Province, in order not to affect the investment of other aspects of Guangdong Province, loans have become their best choice.

At present, in addition to a few major state-owned banks, such a huge amount of money can only be borrowed from banks in Xiangjiang.

In the past, it was relatively easy, but the sudden global stock market crash affected many enterprises and banks in Xiangjiang, and they were relatively strict in terms of loans.

And for the prospect of Huapeng Expressway, many banks in Xiangjiang are not very optimistic, at this time no one would have thought that this expressway will be a money-absorbing weapon in the future.

Although the stock market crash has a great impact on many companies, it does not include the enterprises of the Li consortium and the Xiangjiang consortium, in this month, the news of the continuous expansion of the Li group is enough to see that the Li consortium must have made good profits in this stock market crash.

This is also the reason why the deputy senior officials of Guangdong Province and Huo Yingdong and others found Li Guangyu, if Li Guangyu had a big loss, they would naturally not come to trouble Li Guangyu, after all, the normal operation of Li's enterprises has played a role in stabilizing the morale of the military in both the economy of Xiangjiang and the economy of Guangdong Province.

Li Guangyu said loudly: "We Tianyu Bank is willing to provide this loan for the Guangdong Provincial Government, the construction of Huapeng Expressway has a huge role in promoting the economic development of Guangdong Province, after the opening of Huapeng Expressway, it is also very beneficial to the development of my industry, and I also expect that the day of Huapeng Expressway opening to traffic can come sooner." ”

Hearing that Li Guangyu agreed to provide a loan to the Guangdong provincial government, several people present were very happy, so that there would be no problem with the construction funds of the Huapeng Expressway, and they believed that the Huapeng Expressway could be completed on schedule.

They are also concerned about the Rongguoyu Expressway approved at the same time as them, the expressway is much higher than them in terms of length and difficulty, and the amount of money invested is four times that of them.

For the Li consortium, they admire, not counting anything else, just the total investment of Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, Zhonger Expressway, and Northern Malaysia Expressway has exceeded 130 billion Hong Kong dollars, not counting the Goose City Port, Outlying Island Port, and Taipei MRT invested by Kowloon Group.

Once these projects are completed, the total assets of the Kowloon Group will exceed 170 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a terrifying scale, and what is even more terrifying is that such a group has no loans, and relying on this group is enough to make Li Guangyu one of the top richest people in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Li, thank you very much for your support to our government, and I believe that with your support, the Huapeng Expressway will be completed on schedule, making the traffic between Huacheng and Pengcheng more convenient and accelerating the economic development of our Guangdong Province," said Cheng, a deputy senior official of the Guangdong Provincial Government. ”

Deputy Chief Cheng still has a bigger plan in his heart, but at present, the central government still needs to observe the effectiveness of the two expressways, so he did not put it forward.

Waiting for the future opportunity to come, he will invite the Li Consortium and the Heung Kong Consortium to invest in the expressway from Huacheng to Tuocheng via Goose City, and he believes that the Li Consortium and the Heung Kong Consortium are willing to invest in this expressway.

Goose City is now an important industrial production base of Heung Kong Petrochemical Group, and Tuo Cheng is the hometown of many Hong Kong business people.

After the establishment of this expressway, it can strengthen the connection between Huacheng and eastern Guangdong, and promote the connection and development of the province.

Li Guangyu didn't know that Deputy Chief Cheng had been planning for many years, and at this time his focus was still on the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway, and the high-level officials in the mainland were obviously using these two construction modes to see the results, and it was unlikely that they would continue to approve the construction of this model before the two expressways were put into operation.

Huo Yingdong said loudly: "Li Sheng, Pengcheng's development speed has been getting faster and faster over the years, but it is still relatively backward in many transportation facilities, such as the airport, we plan to jointly invest with the Guangdong Provincial Government to establish Pengcheng Airport, I don't know if you are interested?"

This time, they came to talk with Li Guangyu, in addition to the loan of Huapeng Expressway, that is, to discuss the establishment of Pengcheng Airport.

With the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, Pengcheng's status in Guangdong Province is getting higher and higher, and the proportion of the economy is also rising, but due to the short time to become a city, many infrastructure is not perfect, such as the airport, which is not conducive to the future development of Pengcheng.

Now foreign merchants who go to Pengcheng either go to Xiangjiang first, or go to Huadu first, and then take a car to Pengcheng, will waste a lot of time on the way, and it is not very convenient.

If Pengcheng has an airport, merchants can directly arrive in Pengcheng without going anywhere.

The biggest problem for them now is the problem of funding, even if only to build an airport with an annual passenger capacity of 1 million, the investment will need 300 million yuan, which is not a small number.

Now Hopewell Industry has Huo Yingdong They are now very difficult to fund due to the Huapeng Expressway and the stock market crash, and now they have a lot of loans in the Bank of Xiangjiang, the Bank of East Asia, and the Xiangjiang Asia Commercial Bank, and it is unlikely that they will come up with this fund at present.

This is a lot of money for them, but it is a small matter for the Li consortium, and hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars can be easily taken out by the Li consortium.

Li Guangyu said: "Huo Sheng, Deputy Chief Cheng, I am personally very interested in this project, but whether to invest or not, this still needs to be decided by Ms. Du Yuemei herself." ”

There is no problem with investment, but how to distribute shares and how to manage and operate the airport need to be carefully discussed before making a decision, Li Guangyu is obviously not suitable to talk with them one by one, and Du Yuemei, president of Kowloon Group, will personally communicate with the Guangdong Provincial Government and the Pengcheng Government.

And this matter is obviously not something they can decide, after the time comes, it will be reported to the central government, and it will be approved by the higher authorities before it can be officially built, and now it is just a preliminary work, and this matter can not be started in a short time.
