Bai Yunhe seemed to have heard the name of CP Group, and also muttered in a low voice: "Boss, CP Group is the largest feed production company in Thailand, and its business covers most of Nanyang. ”

Huo Yaowen doesn't know Xie Guomin, but he does know CP Group. Needless to say, when he heard the word Zhengda, he immediately thought of a motorcycle advertisement he had seen on TV decades later.

The classic sentence: "Popular in the world, Universiade motorcycles!"

That's right, the bull coaxing Universiade motorcycle, the original body is the "Zhengda motorcycle" jointly developed and produced by Thailand Zhengda Group and Guangzhou Dayang, but the time is very short, after the Zhengda Group withdrew from the field of motorcycles, Zhengda motorcycle was renamed Universiade motorcycle.

Thinking of that magical advertising slogan, Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows slightly, showed a smile and shook hands with the other party: "It turned out to be Mr. Xie of Thailand's Zhengda, I have known Mr. Xie for a long time in Hong Kong, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Xie Guomin smiled: "Mr. Huo is polite, I have admired you for a long time." I heard your name Mr. Huo a few years ago, and when I went to Hong Kong to discuss business, I was fortunate to participate in a charity dinner held by the Education Charity Foundation, but unfortunately Mr. Huo was not there at that time. ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen was embarrassed for a while, except for the year when the Education Charity Foundation was established, he was regarded as a hard worker, and then he was handed over to Luo Qiaozhen to take care of, and he rarely asked again. Even if I go a few times once in a while, I happen to pass by and take a look.

Having said that, Huo Yaowen couldn't directly tell the other party that he didn't manage the Foundation, so he smiled and said, "Is it? That's too unfortunate, maybe I happened to be out of Hong Kong at that time." ”

"Mr. Xie, do you know this Mr. Huo?" Director Li blinked, but he didn't expect the two to know each other.

Xie Guomin laughed and said, "Director Li, you may not know about the situation overseas for a long time in the mainland. Mr. Fok is a household name not only in Hong Kong, but also throughout Asia and around the world. ”

Xie Guomin obviously knows something about Huo Yaowen's situation, not only naming Huo Yaowen as a Hong Kong tycoon, but also an internationally renowned science fiction writer.

Hearing this, Director Hou looked at Huo Yaowen in surprise, he had always thought that Huo Yaowen was just an ordinary rich man, but he never expected the other party to be so well-known overseas!

Although Xie Guomin didn't say how rich Huo Yaowen was, a wealthy man who could contribute $15 million did not hesitate to praise Huo Yaowen in front of him, thinking that the other party should be a very rich kind of big capitalist.

Thinking of this, Director Li immediately talked to Huo Yaowen with a smile on his face, wanting to do his best to complete the task of attracting investment.

Several people stood in place and chatted for a while, until the sun was shining, and Director Hou saw that the sun in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, and he also proposed that everyone go back to the guest house to talk in detail.

……

At about eleven o'clock, the group went back to the guest house for a short rest, and Director Li and Director Hou arranged a box in the canteen of the guest house to entertain Huo Yaowen and Xie Guomin.

Director Li is a person from Shekou China Merchants Bureau, and he knows the situation in Shekou better than Director Hou, so after hearing Director Hou say that Huo Yaowen wants to invest in Shekou to build a factory, he also began to introduce the specific situation of Shekou Industrial Park at the dinner table.

The construction of the Shekou Industrial Zone project was a proposal submitted by Yuan Geng, deputy director of the Ministry of Communications in Hong Kong's "China Merchants Bureau" on New Year's Day this year. The report advocates the establishment of a wharf in Shekou, Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, to develop China Merchants and Hong Kong's trade.

The reason for Yuan Geng's suggestion is very simple, that is, Hong Kong's land and labor prices are too expensive, and if an industrial zone related to shipping can be established in Shekou, it can not only give full play to Guangdong's land and labor advantages, but also make use of Hong Kong's capital and technology, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

This matter was taken seriously by the leaders at the highest level from the very beginning, and after only half a month of inspection, they issued an order to build the Shekou Industrial Zone, and at the same time, in July this year, Shenzhen was officially established as a special economic zone.

Therefore, many young people in later generations do not understand why the original small Shenzhen was included in the special economic zone, which is the most important reason.

Speaking of dry mouth, Director Li paused slightly, took a sip of boiled water, and continued: "Mr. Huo, although Shekou Industrial Park is still under development, you can rest assured that we are confident that we will complete the transformation of Shekou Construction. At the same time, we will build a new port terminal in Shekou, which will be partially completed by the end of this year, and will be fully completed next year, which will not affect your export trade. ”

"That's great, Director Li, we've been concerned about shipping and transportation before. Now that China Merchants has made a thorough plan, I think we should seriously consider investing in Shekou. ”

Because Xie Guomin, an outsider, Huo Yaowen didn't say too much that he wanted to invest in that project, just smiled, made a mistake, and brought the topic over.

Although Director Li wanted to know Huo Yaowen's investment amount and projects urgently, he also understood that now was not the time to talk about this, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Huo, investing in our Shekou Industrial Park will definitely not disappoint you." ”

……

Until the end of the meal, Director Li still wanted to ask Huo Yaowen to talk about investment, but there was still Xie Guomin, and he couldn't leave this big customer who was ready to invest 15 million US dollars, so he had to let Director Hou continue to lead Huo Yaowen to inspect the environment near Shekou.

Although Director Li wanted to wait a few days to discuss the investment with Huo Yaowen in detail, Huo Yaowen did not want to wait, because he knew that Xie Guomin's CP Group, as the world's first wholly-owned foreign businessman to invest in the Shekou Industrial Zone in the mainland, would receive various benefits in the future, which could not be compared with later generations.

Therefore, after following Director Hou in the afternoon to inspect the surrounding environment around Shekou, Huo Yaowen consulted with Davide, Bai Yunhe and others for a while that night, and decided to build the first mainland electrical appliance processing factory in the eastern district planned by Shekou Industrial Park in the future.

Early the next morning, Huo Yaowen found Director Li and explained the factory he wanted to invest in.

"Electrical processing plant?" Director Li was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Yaowen to want to invest in an electrical processing factory, which was much more difficult than the feed factory invested by Xie Guomin.

"Yes, I have an appliance company in Europe that sells all kinds of appliances in Central and Eastern Europe. After discussing with my team, we decided to build an electrical processing factory in the mainland to import the latest electrical equipment and technology from abroad. ”

Huo Yaowen knew very well that the purpose of establishing Shekou at this time was to attract foreign capital and earn foreign exchange, so he directly told Director Li that his electrical appliance company had a large market in Europe.

Sure enough, as soon as Director Li heard that Huo Yaowen's electrical appliance company was headquartered in Europe, he immediately knew that this was a big order! I just don't know how much Mr. Huo is ready to invest. ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at Bai Yunhe, the other party understood, and immediately answered: "Director Li, our company's investment may not be very large in the early stage. ”

"It doesn't matter, no matter how big the investment is, we can take it. ”

Director Li said that it didn't matter, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart, after all, the electrical processing factory sounded much bigger than the feed factory, and the other party's main sales production area was still Europe, and all he earned was pounds and US dollars.

Bai Yunhe said: "The initial construction of the factory and the processing of technology and equipment are about 30 million US dollars, and we will continue to invest in the future." ”

The labor cost in Europe can be said to be the most expensive in the world at present, and the country of Slovenia where Gorenje Electric Company is located is still low, but it is not as good as the current mainland, and the labor is only a few dozen yuan a month, or RMB.

Even according to the official exchange rate of 1:1.5 to the US dollar in the early 80s, it is only a dozen US dollars, which is much cheaper than the labor force of a few hundred US dollars a month in Europe.

"Thirty million... Beauty... Dollars!"

Hearing this astonishing number, Director Li's pupils subconsciously dilated, which also means that the initial investment will not be very large, is it possible that there will be 100 million in the back? !

"Yes, an initial investment of $30 million. Huo Yaowen nodded, now that he has acquired Gorenje Electric Appliance Company, which can produce independently, he will definitely not always focus on the Central and Eastern European markets in the future, coupled with the cheap labor in the mainland, the Asian market is his next plan.
