Chapter 75, I'm still me

The general direction is determined, and then the local government is notified, and when the time comes, Li Ya will go directly to talk about it, and just inject capital to build a factory.

Shekou is located in the southeast of Nantou Peninsula in Shenzhen, bordering Shenzhen Bay in the east, the Pearl River Estuary in the west, and Yuen Long and Liufu Mountain in the New Territories across the sea. Last year, China Merchants made a proposal and reported to the central government for approval, and this year China Merchants officially started construction to develop an export-oriented industrial zone covering an area of two square kilometers.

This is China's first export-oriented economic development zone, which is wholly owned by China Merchants. Li Ya decided that the joint venture factory was located in Shekou, and its main business was textile and garment production.

Now in July, school has closed. Li Ya thought about it, since he came to Beijing, he was still looking for Zhou Guoqing, the two were not only classmates, but also lived in a dormitory, so they asked him to come out and rub it.

Zhou Guoqing's family Li Ya has been there, and he also knows the phone number, but no one answered when he called during the day, and Zhou Guoqing received the call until the next night.

Seeing that his son hung up the phone, Zhou's father asked, "Who?"

Zhou Guoqing said: "A classmate is the one I told you about who was expelled from school. ”

Dad Zhou asked, "Is that the one who went abroad after being expelled?" Zhou Guoqing nodded, and Dad Zhou continued: "You classmate is amazing." After going abroad for such a short time, he will be a character as soon as he comes back, and news of him has been spread in various units recently. He was also a donor, and he organized Chinese people to return to China to visit relatives and trade, and he was the first foreign businessman to respond to the joint venture. ”

Zhou Guoqing said: "Of course he is very good, he dared to do speculation, machine downfall, and control a few years ago, and he is also very good at learning, and he loves to help people." If someone else were expelled like him, they would probably be unknown for the rest of their lives. But what about him, dare to flee Hong Kong. And after fleeing Hong Kong, it quickly developed, and he helped the country do so many things. ”

"However, you are not like him, and you will have to keep your distance in the future. Zhou's father said. He has his considerations, Li Ya went abroad and had close contacts, even if there was nothing to do, it would hinder Zhou Guoqing's development.

Zhou Guoqing said: "Everyone is good friends, and he lives abroad and has his own career, I don't know how long it will take to meet once, what can I have?"

Zhou Guoqing said that he went back to the house and changed his clothes, and when he went out, Zhou's father said, "Come back early." Also, you are an adult, so you can drink alcohol, but drink less. ”

Zhou Guoqing rushed to the Beijing Hotel, Li Ya took him in, he sat down and shouted: "Eat and drink." ”

Li Ya smiled: "You are from the capital, don't be like a countryman like me to enter the city." ”

"You're a redneck? I want to be a redneck too. You've been here more than once, haven't you?" Zhou Guoqing asked, seeing Li Ya nodding, he continued, "Look, this is my first time here." If it weren't for you, I don't know what year I'd be able to eat here. ”

Li Ya smiled: "Actually, it won't be long before you graduate, you can come once after you graduate, you can join the work, save a few months' salary, and you can also bring your girlfriend." ”

"Salary? Just joined the job, how much is the salary? Besides, I have to get married. Zhou Guoqing sighed, "I don't have your freedom, I can see my head at a glance in the future." "Zhou Guoqing's parents are both cadres and ministries, a deputy, a ministry, a deputy at the level, and a bureau level.

"It's great to be able to devote yourself to contributing to the country. Uncle and aunt regard you as their successor, and their business needs to be inherited by you. Li Ya said. Being able to live in peace and stability like this, Li Ya was jealous.

Full of wine and food, send Zhou Guoqing away, Li Ya went upstairs to wash and sleep, and will leave tomorrow and go to Nanjing.

After sending Shu Yue's grandmother to Nanjing, he and Shu Yue had to continue south, go to Shekou to determine the factory site, and sign a joint venture contract.

The capital of Jiangsu Province and the capital of the Republic of China, known as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties" and the "Capital of the Ten Dynasties", has long been the political, political, economic and cultural center of southern China, leaving many celebrity relics. Although the damage is serious and has not been repaired, you can also take a tour, and Grandma Shuyue can play here.

Li Ya and Shu Yue accompanied the family to visit their uncle's family, and after a day of travel in Nanjing, they took a southbound plane to Guangzhou. At this time, there was no airport in Shenzhen, so it could not be directly reached.

When I arrived in Guangzhou, I stayed in Guangzhou for a day, communicated with the leaders of the province in depth, and after reaching a consensus, I got on the bus and went to Shenzhen. Shenzhen has just changed its name, and a few months ago it was still Bao'an County. Although Shekou is wholly owned by China Merchants, it is owned by Shenzhen.

Shenzhen had already received a notice from the superiors, and the person in charge of China Merchants Shekou had also received the notice and rushed over, and Li Ya and his entourage were warmly welcomed after they arrived.

At the banquet, Li Ya invested in the idea of investing in China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone, but the boss of China Merchants politely declined, and Li Ya was a little disappointed. He didn't know that in 1981, eleven people led by the richest Li Ka-shing and Fok Yingdong wanted to invest in the joint development of Shekou Industrial Zone, but they were also rejected by Yuan Geng, the leader of China Merchants.

The group rested in Shenzhen for one night and went to Shekou the next day for inspection. At this time, the construction of Shekou had just begun, and not a single house had been built, and the foundations were being dug everywhere, which was dusty and very messy.

After the inspection, Li Ya was very happy. As the first company to plan to settle down, you can choose the best location, and the size of the factory can also be on request. This is the first-mover advantage, and Li Ya deeply feels that it is not in vain.

The two sides negotiated and worked out the contract, and then invited reporters to hold a rather grand signing ceremony.

On the day of the signing, a lot of domestic reporters came, and there were only three ** reporters, which was still invited by China Merchants Bureau with great effort.

On behalf of the state, the vice mayor of Shenzhen signed a joint venture contract with Shuyue, and then signed a plant lease contract with China Merchants in the name of the joint venture factory.

After the contract was signed, as usual, both sides spoke, followed by questions from reporters.

Domestic reporters ask questions in accordance with normal. But the reporter who came was different, even if he was only a small person, but when he entered the mainland, he actually had a feeling of superiority. A reporter asked: "Miss Shu, as far as I know, your company started doing business with the mainland at the beginning of this year, and this time it is investing in the mainland." This should be the first joint venture factory in the mainland, may I ask, are you really so optimistic about the prospects of the mainland?"

Shu Yue manages the refrigerator factory, the trading company has been for a long time, and he has also seen many big people, and he is very easy to grasp in the face of such a trivial matter as a reporter's question. "First of all, I'm just a manager, and the company's major investment decisions have to be decided by the boss himself." Secondly, doing business, of course, is for profit, and no one will do a business that is not profitable. ”

"Why do you think it's profitable to invest in the mainland?"

"The cost of the mainland is low, not to mention that we are still building a textile factory, which does not require much high technology. The factory is built in the mainland, which can better control the cost and improve the competitiveness of the products. ”

The other raised his hand, and after seeing Shu Yue nodding, he asked, "Then will you continue to invest in the future?"

Shu Yue nodded and affirmed: "Of course, the mainland is full of opportunities and gold, and it is a fool not to invest." The low cost and the large number of skilled workers are advantages that other countries and regions cannot match. ”

"However, the mainland's technology is very backward, and I am afraid that products with a slightly higher technology content cannot be produced, right?" the reporter then asked.

Shu Yue smiled slightly and said, "I admit that domestic technology is backward as a whole, but you can learn it slowly." You must know that the original (sub) (hydrogen) bomb has been successfully exploded, and the satellite has long been launched into the sky. We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are not stupider than others. As long as you work hard to study and specialize, your skills will improve. ”

The last reporter asked: "What about the security of funds? You know, there has been a lot of chaos here over the years." As soon as you invest, you are a capitalist, and you must know that the mainland is society, sovereignty, and righteousness. ”

Shu Yue said with a smile: "Haven't you paid attention to major domestic events? The "Law on Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures" has been promulgated. We return to China to invest, which is protected by law. Moreover, as early as last year, the central authorities and the central authorities had already decided to shift the focus of their work to economic construction.
