"President Shen and President Yu, please be seated. Two guests came to the office, and Xu Zhi greeted him politely.

"Xu Sheng, you're polite, you're so busy, it's us who bothered you. President Shen replied with a smile.

Xu Zhidao: "President Shen said that he laughed, I like to hand things over to my subordinates, and I am actually relatively relaxed, and the two presidents are busy people!"

"As long as Xiangjiang can return to the motherland in a stable manner and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, it will be worth our hard work. President Yu said with a smile.

"That is, I also hope that Xiangjiang can return as soon as possible and the economy can return to normal as soon as possible, so that the businessmen of Xiangjiang can also have more funds to help develop the domestic economy. Xu Zhi nodded and said.

China's reform and opening up has lasted for several years, but at present, there are not many cooperation projects with Western countries, mainly the acquisition of overseas large-scale production lines and equipment.

For example, in 79 years, the mainland and the U.S. government signed a civil aviation agreement, textile agreement and other cooperation projects, this year, the total trade between the two sides was 2.45 billion US dollars, but the Chinese side is in an absolute deficit position, although the export volume of some civilian goods has increased several times, but the main transaction is the mainland to buy American products, such as aircraft, automobiles, industrial production lines, chemical products, pharmaceutical products, etc., and has been very slaughtered.

The same is true for transactions with developed countries such as Europe and Japan, where large amounts of foreign exchange are consumed, and it is said that the mainland government has to sell a large amount of gold in the international market every year to offset the huge consumption of foreign exchange.

But gold is also limited, an important purpose of reform and opening up, in addition to the introduction of advanced equipment, the introduction of foreign enterprises to build factories in the mainland, is also the top priority, because the products are exported, the mainland government can earn foreign exchange, and at the same time can also solve the employment problem of a large number of domestic educated youths returning to the city.

It's just that the enterprises of Western countries are not stupid, and the main purpose of their investment in the mainland is to enter the mainland market and make money from the Chinese people, and this is basically not allowed, so there are very few people who really come to invest, at most they come to Beijing or Shanghai to build an office.

As a combination of the Chinese nation and the West, Xiangjiang has many factories, and they are mainly export-oriented, so a large amount of Xiangjiang capital has entered the country, and built factories in the country in the way of three to one supplement, while solving the employment problem, it has increased the country's foreign exchange reserves.

In short, it means that the foreign party pays money, raw materials, equipment, invests in the construction of factories and orders, and the Chinese side is responsible for manual assembly and production, and the final products are all sold overseas, and then according to the initial agreement, the two parties obtain foreign exchange in proportion.

Although foreign capital normally accounts for the lion's share of profits, there are a large number of factory owners involved in this business model throughout Xiangjiang, and eventually the mainland also receives huge foreign exchange from it, making up for the huge deficit formed by overseas procurement.

"Mr. Xu, Minister Lin is very appreciative of your HK$20 billion investment plan in Xiangjiang, and the people of Xiangjiang can live and work in peace and contentment, which has always been our highest pursuit. President Shen paused and said, "However, at present, the mainland also lacks the funds needed for development, so I hope that Mr. Xu can invest in Hong Kong and bring capital into the mainland at the same time, so as to contribute to the development of the country." ”

"I don't know where I can help. Xu Zhi asked with a smile, the mainland has been short of funds at present, but at this time, sending people to come here must be a project that is in urgent need of investment.

President Shen said: "Mr. Xu, this year has reached the fifth year of reform and opening up, and the economic development of the mainland has been very rapid in recent years, especially in terms of import and export trade, which has grown at a rate of 30% every year.

However, this also brings some problems, because of the increase in trade volume, there are more and more overseas merchants in the capital in recent years, and this reception has become a big problem?"

"You mean, the capital needs a hotel?" asked Xu Zhi.

President Shen shook his head and said: "No, although the hotel in the capital is also nervous, the construction of the hotel can still be solved by itself in China."

Some time ago, some foreign businessmen suggested that a trade center similar to that of Western countries should be built in China, so as to concentrate many resources and facilitate commercial trade.

The central government also sent people to inspect overseas and found that there are many advantages of trade centers, which can speed up the circulation of goods, information channels, and allow enterprises to receive support from various financial services, and also know that most countries and large cities in the world have their own trade centers.

As a result, the central government approved a proposal to build a large trade center in the capital, but the above means that either it will not be done, or it will be good enough, if not comparable to the World Trade Center in New York, it must be a modern complex.

However, such an investment is a bit huge, and it is not necessary for the development of the country, so the state will not pay for it, hoping to bring in overseas capital to build this project. ”

"I see. Xu Zhi nodded and said, although the trade center is very important, it cannot compare with the needs of steel, energy, and cutting-edge technology needed in the country's development, so this kind of real estate investment will not be paid by the central government, and it is most convenient to introduce foreign capital.

President Shen and Lao Yu glanced at each other and asked, "Is Mr. Xu interested?"

"Then I don't know how much investment this International Trade Center will need?" asked Xu Zhi.

"According to the plan, the location of the International Trade Center is located at the junction of Chang'an Avenue and East Third Ring Road in Beijing, close to the international embassy area, including a Grade A office building, China World Trade Building, a large hotel, two apartment buildings, a large shopping mall, an exhibition center and a large conference center, with a total construction area of 470,000 square meters and an estimated total investment of not less than 500 million US dollars," said President Shen. ”

"$500 million?"

"Not bad. President Shen nodded awkwardly, when he first learned about this project, he knew that it would be very difficult to rely on overseas capital to operate.

There are only a handful of Chinese people who can take out such a large sum of money, and at present, because of the real estate economic crisis in Xiangjiang, many powerful businessmen have begun to shrink their investment strategies, at this time, who is willing to invest 500 million US dollars?

Businessmen like Hu Yingxiang and Huo Yingdong are definitely willing to invest, but they have long had investment plans in other parts of the mainland, such as Hu Yingxiang's Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway plan and Huo Yingdong's Nansha investment, which have exhausted their funds, and even if they want to help, they can't do anything.

"$500 million is not a problem, but I have to send someone to the capital to understand the specific situation before I can make a decision. Xu Zhi said quietly, but secretly smiled in his heart.

Beijing International Trade Center, this project is the most profitable CBD project in the whole mainland, in the original history of 1984, Malaysia's richest man, known as the "sugar king" Guo Henian participated in this project, the first batch of investment of 530 million US dollars, and then in the 90s and the 21st century, respectively, the second and third phases of the International Trade Center were built, and the International Trade Center became the country's CBD complex, with a total value of up to 170 billion yuan, and the annual rent was as high as 5 billion yuan.

Such a project is naturally not to be missed.

President Shen said: "Of course, the specific cooperation plan will naturally be negotiated by you and the Beijing Municipal Government, so if Mr. Xu agrees, Lao Yu and I will immediately submit a report to the above after we go back and report this matter." ”

"No problem, as long as the central government agrees, I will immediately arrange for people in this area to go to the capital to negotiate. Xu Zhi nodded in agreement.

President Shen and President Yu stood up, shook hands with Xu Zhi, who also stood up, and smiled: "Okay, then we won't bother." ”

"The two of you walked slowly. ”
