Chapter 172 Mainland Investment
When Li Zetian returned home, everyone asked him what he had talked about in Deng's hometown. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Zetian said something simply, some things can't be revealed casually. After that, I took a hot bath and went to bed. Getting along with Deng Lao, Li Zetian's spirit has always been highly concentrated, and what he says has passed through his brain in advance, and he can only say it after careful consideration. So, it took a lot of brainpower.
Early the next morning, a newspaper reported that Li Zetian had gone to Zhongnanhai to meet with Deng Lao. The newspaper wrote that Deng Lao and Li Zetian had a very happy conversation, had dinner together, and praised Li Zetian many times as a business genius with a very unique view of China's economy!
As soon as this article came out, Li Jiacheng, Wang An and others were instantly compared.
Hong Kong's SF Bank finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was the right thing to sell the shares of Hutchison Whampoa to Li Zetian. Li Zetian's status in Deng Lao's mind is much higher than Li Jiacheng's status in Deng Lao's mind.
……
In the past few days, the weather has been beautiful and the sun is shining, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu and Zhou Qiqi to play in Beijing, Yu Jingqiu and Zhou Qiqi are both coming to Beijing for the first time, and they have a great curiosity about this city full of Chinese cultural heritage.
There is no doubt that the Forbidden City, where the emperor Lao Tzu lived, must be the first choice.
Later, I went to see the Summer Palace, which is the largest and best-preserved imperial garden in China, and one of the four famous gardens in China (the other three are Chengde Summer Resort, Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, and Suzhou Lingering Garden), which is naturally not to be missed.
Then there is Prince Gong's Mansion and Lama Temple.
Shichahai, the most local customs in old Beijing, is naturally also a must-visit place, the scenery here is pleasant, a pool of clear water, a touch of floating clouds, a piece of new green, a group of tranquility, rowing a boat on the lake, leisurely!
In the end, Li Zetian took Yu Jingqiu and Zhou Qiqi to the Badaling Great Wall, and they were out of breath when they were tired.
Cheerful days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, February is over. On March 1, the Chinese government announced the opening of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu went to Shenzhen, while Li Chengzhi, Xiao Zhixuan, and Zhou Qiqi remained in Beijing for a while.
At this time, Shenzhen is simply miserable, just established in 1979, before it was a small town in Bao'an County, with a population of 26,000, 7 vehicles, two cement roads through the town, one is the People's Road, one is the Liberation Road, the total length is less than 2 kilometers.
After Yu Jingqiu came here, he frowned frequently, "Do you really want to build a factory here?"
"Let's build it...... Shenzhen's geographical location is very good, located in the south of Guangdong, on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta, and separated from Hong Kong by a water. Land in Hong Kong is too expensive, and labor costs are too high to build a large-scale foundry. Isn't it just right to do product design and development in Hong Kong and produce products in Shenzhen?" said Li Zetian, who was really shocked when he first saw Shenzhen in 1980. However, he knows how rapid Shenzhen's development speed is, creating the world's attention to the "Shenzhen speed", otherwise, he would not dare to be so sure.
"Shenzhen's development speed will exceed your imagination!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "We not only want to build, but also build a large number of special buildings! In addition to the ant factory, there are too many business opportunities here!!"
Yu Jingqiu nodded, she believed in Li Zetian's gaze.
The mayor of Shenzhen rushed to greet them at this time, and then took Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu to the hall of the city government.
"Mayor, take out the map of Shenzhen, and tell us about the city's development plan!" Li Zetian said in a deep voice.
"Okay. ”
The mayor took out the map and introduced it to Li Zetian.
Ten minutes later, Li Zetian chose a 200,000-square-meter site as the site of the Ant Factory.
The mayor was frightened, "Mr. Li, is the factory so big?"
"You need !!," Li Zetian nodded affirmatively.
The mayor suddenly thought that the man standing in front of him was the richest man in China, and he couldn't wait to ignore it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, this piece of land can be assigned to you!"
At this time, Li Zetian pointed to the map and said: "I want to buy this place and build a hotel as a landmark building in Shenzhen." ”
The mayor nodded with delight. As long as you come to invest, everything is easy to say, give what you want!
"In addition," Li Zetian looked at the map, holding his chin, and pondered.
"Still want to buy land?!" the mayor was stunned.
Li Zetian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "If you don't buy it, just these two pieces of land, one is used to build a factory, and the other is used to build a hotel! The hotel can be a Sino-foreign joint venture, but the factory, I hope it is a wholly-owned company!" At this time, the hotel and the government are in partnership to make money.
The mayor frowned and said: "There is no problem with joint ventures, but sole proprietorship is ......"
"I know it's indeed a bit difficult to make this request at this time, do you want to call and ask for instructions from Elder Deng?" Li Zetian said lightly.
This......
When the mayor heard this, he was stunned for a moment and fell silent.
"Mr. Li, I'll discuss with the city officials and make a decision, what do you think?"
"Okay, no problem!"
"Then I'll let someone take you to the hotel to rest first, but the hotel is a little shabby, please take a while!"
"It's okay to be simple!" Li Zetian shook his head and smiled.
The five-storey Huaqiao Building is one of the tallest and most luxurious buildings, and it is also a place to receive foreign guests and Huaqiao, and the conditions are quite good.
The Shenzhen Municipal Government is really heartbroken when it encounters Li Zetian's incident now.
There are examples of Sino-foreign joint ventures, but there is not a single wholly foreign-owned enterprise in the country.
Officials had a heated discussion.
"No!! others will think that we are opening the way for capitalism!"
"I think so! If Sino-foreign joint ventures can, why can't wholly foreign-owned enterprises? China has opened up its country to free trade, and Shenzhen, as a special economic zone, should accept new things and set an example! If we can't even accept a single wholly foreign-owned enterprise, how can we talk about ?!!reform and opening up?"
"Yes, such reform and opening up is just empty talk!"
"But not at the moment, reform and opening up has just begun, the domestic political environment and ideology are not yet able to accept wholly foreign-owned, once our Shenzhen Municipal Government agrees to wholly foreign-owned, it will inevitably be condemned by all parts of the country and Beijing!!"
"However, if you don't agree with Mr. Li to establish a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, then he is likely to give up this investment! Mr. Li is the richest man in China, can be called a representative of foreign Chinese, his every move in China has received countless people's attention, if he is driven away by us, how bad the impact will be, do you know?!"
“……”
Everyone was silent.
However, it was still not possible to convince the other side.
Now, on the issue of Li Zetian's request for sole proprietorship, the Shenzhen Municipal Government refuses to do so, nor does it support it, and it is in a dilemma.
After half a ring, the secretary of the municipal party committee sitting in the first place suddenly slapped the table, and everyone's eyes immediately "brushed" and looked at him in unison.
Everyone thought he was going to make a decision, but they didn't think about it, he said: "Call Deng Lao and let him decide!"
The officials secretly gave a thumbs up one by one, thinking to themselves, throw the ball to Deng Lao, then it doesn't matter what the Shenzhen Municipal Government does!
High!
It's really high!!
Immediately, the secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee picked up the phone and dialed Deng Lao's phone, explained the matter in detail, and fell into deep thought on the other end of the phone. Deng Lao thought a lot at this time. Li Zetian is a patriotic overseas Chinese, and it is actually nothing to establish a wholly-owned company. And only by allowing wholly foreign-owned investment can we truly attract foreign investment in China. If we can only engage in Sino-foreign joint ventures, and no matter what we do, we have to get a piece of the pie from Chinese enterprises, then obviously many foreign enterprises are unwilling. Li Zetian's identity is special, not only Chinese, but also the richest Chinese, with great influence in Hong Kong, China needs to win over him to recover Hong Kong, even the hardliners who oppose reform and opening up will choose to compromise. Allowing Li Zetian to establish a wholly foreign-owned company this time is just a good start for him, and then making it an example and promoting it, which will certainly speed up the pace of reform and opening up!
After a while, Deng Lao opened his mouth and said two words: "Agreed!!"
After the secretary of the municipal party committee put down the phone, everyone looked at him and quietly waited for his announcement.
"Ahem~~~"
Before the leader speaks, he usually coughs twice to indicate that he wants to speak, and you should pay attention to listen.
The officials immediately looked at him quietly and listened attentively.
The secretary of the municipal party committee said loudly: "Deng Lao said 'agree', he agreed with Mr. Li to establish a wholly foreign-owned company!"
Bang Bang Bang !!
As soon as the words fell, many people applauded.
Deng Lao let go, and everyone immediately unified their opinions. As soon as the meeting ended, the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor and his entourage rushed to the hotel where Li Zetian was staying and told him about it.
Li Zetian nodded, not surprised. The ant factory he wants to build does not involve high-tech or heavy industries such as steel and energy, but is just a foundry, and he has already made it very clear to Deng Lao, and Deng Lao has no reason to disagree.
Next, Li Zetian began to negotiate with the city leaders on the issue of buying land.
Yes, take advantage of the fact that the land is as cheap as cabbage and buy it quickly!
The local government wanted to rent it, but Li Zetian insisted on buying it, saying that he had bought it, and he guessed that he could rest assured. The other party had no choice but to agree to Li Zetian's request.
200,000 square meters of land, Li Zetian spent $2 million to buy it, 1 square meter 10 dollars.
As for the Sino-foreign joint venture hotel, Li Zetian invested 8.5 million US dollars, and the municipal government contributed 100,000 square meters of land and 5 million yuan, with both parties holding 50% of the shares. Due to the very good location of the hotel, the price of the land is much more expensive than the factory land.
After negotiating the name of the hotel, it was finally called "Shenzhen Hotel", and it was planned to become a landmark building in Shenzhen. As for the right to operate the hotel, Li Zetian insisted on hiring professional managers from abroad, and he had no confidence in the government to run the enterprise.
