After Huo Yingdong and Bao Yugang left, Secretary Zhang asked with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Xu has anything else to ask?"

Xu Zhidao: "Secretary Zhang, I know that the mainland has just been reformed and opened up, and foreign exchange is relatively tight, and I have an investment here, which can bring a lot of foreign exchange to the government to a certain extent?"

"Oh, what kind of investment, do you want to build a factory?" Secretary Zhang's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.

In 1978, the central government sent a large number of high-level ministries and commissions to visit various countries, and 12 leaders of the vice premier and vice chairman visited 51 countries.

At the end of last year, the mainland government devised an ambitious plan to revitalize the economy, bringing in $60 billion from Europe, the United States and Japan and building 120 new large-scale projects, but by the spring of '79, the plan was completely bankrupt.

Foreign investment delegations poured into the mainland like a tidal wave to conduct inspections, but all of them returned in vain because they found that there were three problems that could not be broken.

First, the industrial facilities in the mainland at that time were very poor

Second, the efficiency of factory workers in mainland state-owned enterprises is too low

Third: foreign exchange control is strict, and it is easy for funds to enter the country, but it is difficult to get out.

By '79, none of the big investment plans had been successful, and many had not even been given the opportunity to negotiate.

However, the reform must still be adhered to, and foreign capital is unwilling to invest money, so it can only spend its own money, and the foreign exchange at that time was already tight, and it was necessary to purchase a large number of large-scale production lines and some high-end equipment.

These things used to be bought with money, but now that the West has lifted the restrictions, in order to gather enough foreign exchange, the central government even trades with reserve gold, in this era, there is foreign exchange, it is really a master!

"It's not. Xu Zhi shook his head and asked, "Secretary Zhang, have you ever heard of golf?"

"Golf?" Secretary Zhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded again: "I've heard that many capitalists like to play sports. ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes, I have an idea, in fact, in Xiangjiang, many people like to play golf, but the terrain of Xiangjiang is not very good, and the flat land is also used to build houses, although there are two golf courses, but the area is too small, and the fees are very expensive, only some super-rich people can play." ”

Secretary Zhang also understood, and said, "Mr. Xu wants to build a golf course here with us?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, as the forefront of reform and opening up, Shenhai City will not only receive Xiangjiang businessmen in the future, but also guests from other European and American countries will often appear.

Secretary Zhang, if there are foreign friends who come to Shenhai City to inspect in the future, the golf course is definitely the best place to negotiate!"

Secretary Zhang was also a little moved, and asked: "Mr. Xu, I heard that the area of the golf course is not small, but I don't know how much, ...... it?"

Xu Zhidao: "Generally, golf courses need about 50 hectares!"

"50 hectares?" Secretary Zhang was taken aback and said, "Half a square kilometer?"

"Yes, it's just a normal pitch. Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Secretary Zhang, I am going to build the largest golf course in Asia, and it is estimated that the area will be about 1.5-2 square kilometers!"

Secretary Zhang frowned and said, "This is too big, right?"

"Not big. Xu Zhidao: "If you want to do it, you can do the best, Secretary Zhang, once this course is completed, it can become a banner of Shenhai City, as long as there are foreign businessmen in the future, you can say that you can invite them to the largest golf course in Asia, so that foreign businessmen will be happy, and the business negotiation will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

And the stadium I have in my plan includes a hotel, a cinema, a resort, a game stadium, and so on......"

"This ......," Secretary Zhang said, "it is impossible for the central government to agree to such a big place, and the constitution stipulates that land cannot be traded or leased!"

Xu Zhi said: "I know, but now since it is reform and opening up, Shenhai City is also the forefront of reform, some necessary steps still have to be bigger, the current lack of foreign exchange in the whole country, now I only need the government's permission, I will bring in hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars of foreign exchange, and follow-up tourists will also spend foreign exchange, when paying taxes are also foreign exchange, why not?"

And if you can build a hotel with land as a shareholder, why can't I build a stadium?"

In this era, except for the newly opened Shekou Industrial Zone, investment in China from other places must be based on joint ventures, and the Chinese side generally invests in land, part of the resources, and cash, as is the case for joint venture hotels in various places.

If he can buy this land as a sole proprietorship, Xu Zhi is of course more willing to pay a lump sum, but under the current constitutional provisions, it is absolutely impossible to sell land, even Shenhai City, a pilot city of reform and opening up, does not dare to openly violate the Constitution, and the provision of leasing for 70 years will not have a chance until after the constitutional change in 1986.

Secretary Zhang pushed his glasses and asked, "Has Mr. Xu chosen that place?"

Xu Zhidao: "I have chosen, we are now 3km northeast, where the terrain is suitable for building a golf course, and I sent someone to take a look, basically all farmland, there are more than a dozen villages, but as long as the project is down, our company can build them in other places to build double the area of housing." ”

Secretary Zhang frowned and said, "Why should it be built near the city? If it is farther away, there should be fewer villages, and your company's investment will be much less, right?"

Xu Zhidao: "It can only be built near the city, Secretary Zhang, this is also for the sake of future customer considerations, the traffic in Shenhai City is not good, if the stadium is too far away from the city, this will seriously hit the interest of foreign customers or Xiangjiang people in the future, choose near the city, although the investment is a little more now, but the future income will be higher, and the tax revenue of the municipal government will be higher!"

"Kind of makes sense. Secretary Zhang nodded, pondered for a while and asked, "I will report this matter to the province, I don't know how much money will be invested in this project?"

Xu Zhi said: "It depends on the land environment of the location, but since it is the largest stadium, there must be a lot of supporting facilities, and I estimate that at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars will be needed!"

"200 million Hong Kong dollars!" Secretary Zhang's face did not change, but his heart was very moved, you must know that now the finances of Shenhai City are extremely difficult, last year the entire city (at that time was still the county seat) financial revenue was only 30 million yuan, although there was some investment in Shekou, but there are financial independence, and the industrial zone itself still owes a lot of money to the Bank of Xiangjiang.

If this investment project can be successful, it will definitely greatly alleviate the financial situation of the municipal government!

Xu Zhi smiled: "This is only the minimum estimate, if this project can be completed, I will also build a road from the city to the stadium, and I can provide 10 luxury cars for the future government to receive foreign businessmen!"

However, there is another condition, that is, if in the future, the central government allows wholly foreign ownership, or the land can be transferred and leased, then the land will still be transferred to us, or leased to us according to the maximum number of years according to the law. ”
