At about eight o'clock in the morning, the sun gradually rose in the sky, and a bright light illuminated the whole land.

After half an hour's drive, they soon arrived at Nanshan, the road in front was uneven, and small hills abounded, and Huo Yaowen and his party had to abandon the car and hike.

After walking for about ten minutes, after climbing a small mountain more than one meter high, Director Hou gasped for breath while pointing to a large construction site that was being built not far away, and turned around and said, "Mr. Huo, there is Shekou ahead." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen fixed his eyes and saw that this was completely different from the Shekou Industrial Park in his impression, there were no factories, all the eyes were loess and pieces of gravel, if it weren't for a few excavators and a small forest in the distance, it seemed to be no different from the desolate northwest.

"This is Shekou Industrial Park?"

Bai Yunhe couldn't help frowning when he saw the environment here, when he was in Guangzhou, he heard that Shenzhen was preparing to develop an industrial park in a place called Shekou, and he thought it was already under construction, but looking at the current situation, it seems that he hasn't even started yet.

"Yes, Mr. Bai, this is Shekou, which is still being cleaned up, and will officially start construction soon, if nothing else, a number of industrial plants will be built before the end of this year. ”

Director Hou didn't notice the change in the expression on Bai Yunhe's face, he just nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Huo, you are late, half a month ago, there was a hill more than ten meters high in front of us, and it took us two days to blow up the hill." It was a spectacular scene. ”

"That's a pity. ”

As soon as Huo Yaowen heard Director Hou's words, he immediately recalled that when he visited the Shenzhen Museum, there was a photo in it, which was the picture of the blasting of Shekou Industrial Park.

This photo was called "the first sound in Shenzhen" by the people of the museum, which means that it represents the Shekou Industrial Zone, which officially broke ground. Since then, the mountains and rivers have shaken and changed, and this change is especially reverberating after 40 years.

"Mr. Huo, you can take a look, this area, including that piece, is all planned in Shekou Industrial Park, with a total area of almost 2.14 square kilometers. Director Hou has not forgotten his mission, which is to introduce Shekou Industrial Park to foreign businessmen.

"Davide, White Advisor. Huo Yaowen said to the two people behind him: "You observe more, our electrical processing plant is the most suitable place in that place." ”

"Good boss. ”

Davide and Bai Yunhe nodded, and began to look seriously at the Shekou Industrial Park, which was still in the wasteland.

Prior to his visit to the mainland, Mr. Huo had spent $158 million in July to acquire a Slovenian electrical appliance manufacturing company in Central Europe. The name of this electrical appliance company is Gorenje, and the overall scale is not very large, but in terms of electrical technology and production, it is also one of the top ten electrical companies in Central Europe.

Gorenje Electric Appliances is not only able to produce all kinds of kitchen appliances, refrigeration equipment, washing machines, small appliances and other products, but also has more than 80 international patents in electrical technology and equipment. The $158 million spent by Huo Yaowen to acquire this company is almost tens of millions of dollars to win these international patents.

In addition to the ability of independent production and international patents, there is another important factor that prompts Huo Yaowen to spend a lot of money to acquire it. That is, this electrical appliance company opened up the West German market as early as 1961 with excellent quality electrical appliances, and specialized in exporting washing machines, refrigerators, kitchen appliances and other products to West Germany.

After nearly 20 years of development, Gorenje Electric Company has occupied more than 30% of the electrical market in West Germany, and all kinds of household appliances produced by Gorenje can be seen everywhere on the market.

If it weren't for the fact that West Germany had not merged with East Germany at this time, the market size was not very large, and Huo Yaowen might not have been able to spend only $158 million to win this electrical appliance company with patents, production and sales channels. And at that time, even if he is willing to spend more money to buy it, I'm afraid people won't sell it.

In fact, in terms of price, Huo Yaowen's $158 million is a 20% premium according to the market value of Gorenje Electric. David persuaded Huo Yaowen at that time, saying that it was completely possible to choose a cheap and suitable electrical appliance company again.

It's just that others don't know, but Huo Yaowen knows very well that in another ten years, the two Germany will be reunited. At that time, Gorenje will have a share of the West German electronics market that Gorenje will occupy to expand to the whole of Germany with the merger.

Although this is all ten years later, it is not a big loss to buy Gorenje Electric Company at a premium now. After all, if you take over an electrical appliance company that can produce and sell it yourself, and lay out the electrical appliance market in the mainland, the extra US dollars are nothing.

To invest in investment, you naturally have to invest first before you can make money.

……

"Director Hou!"

Suddenly, a group of people came not far away, and the first person seemed to see Director Hou on the hill, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Director Hou, Director Hou ......"

Director Hou heard someone shouting to himself, looked around, and found that there was a group of people behind him, and after a closer look, it was Director Li who was sent down from above to set up the Shekou Investment Promotion Bureau.

"Mr. Huo, that is Director Li of China Merchants that I mentioned to you this morning. Director Hou said to Huo Yaowen beside him.

As soon as the words fell, I heard Director Li continue: "Director Hou, please come over for a while, I will introduce you to someone." ”

"This ......" Director Hou looked at Huo Yaowen a little embarrassed, he mainly took Huo Yaowen and his party to inspect Shekou Industrial Park this time, and it seemed a little impolite to leave the foreign businessman behind.

Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Hou, it just so happens that I also want to meet this Director Li of China Merchants and ask him about the specific plan of Shekou Industrial Park, and I can also arrange to build a factory in that place." ”

"Haha, okay Mr. Huo. ”

Director Hou didn't expect this Hong Kong businessman to be so understanding, and hurriedly took the lead in leading them towards Director Li.

As soon as the two sides met, Director Li glanced at Huo Yaowen and his party, and kept his attention on Davide's ghost, secretly thinking that this should also be a foreign businessman who came to invest.

Director Li said: "Director Hou, let me introduce you to this compatriot from Thailand, Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie decided to invest US$15 million in Shenzhen to build a feed production plant. ”

"Fifteen million dollars!"

Director Hou swallowed with a grunt. The whole person was stunned!

Fifteen million dollars!

At present, China's foreign exchange reserves are only about 1.5 billion US dollars, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xie, who looked to be about 40 years old, would directly invest 15 million US dollars to build a feed factory, which is almost 1% of the country's foreign exchange reserves!

"Hello Mr. Xie, I am Hou Aiguo from the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Office. Director Hou stretched out his hand excitedly.

"Hello Director Hou. ”

Xie Guomin smiled slightly, and seemed to be accustomed to Director Hou's inexplicable excitement, because when he told the people of China Merchants before about the amount of money he invested, he almost always had this expression.

After a moment of excitement, Director Hou remembered Huo Yaowen, and also introduced to Director Li and Xie Guomin: "Director Li, Mr. Xie, let me introduce you to you, this is Mr. Huo Yaowen, a compatriot from Hong Kong." ”

Huo Yaowen?!

As soon as Xie Guomin heard these three words, he immediately glanced at Huo Yaowen, although he had never seen this person, but he thought that there should be few people with the same name in Hong Kong who had the ability to invest in the mainland at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I didn't expect it to be Mr. Huo, the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, and the contempt is Xie Guomin of Thailand's CP Group." ”
