After the Christmas holiday, New Year's Day was in the blink of an eye, Gu Biao relaxed for a few days, and then put into the final sprint of the end.

Although the time and energy that can be used for studying is only about half of that of other students, it is still no problem for Gu Biao to pass the final exam approved in advance.

At the same time, people who have studied arts and sciences know that there is only a gap between 90 points and 60 points between those who understand and those who don't know much about liberal arts, and a gap between 90 points and 0 points between science and engineering.

As long as you know a little bit about subjective questions, you can get a little score no matter how you write, not to mention that there are a lot of practical and oral exams, which are originally entertaining and teaching in work practice, and you can get a lot of points for Gu Biao.

The wheels of history marched into 1980.

Around January 10th, Gu Biao took all six credits for this semester and was completely relieved, and then took the time to contact Director Bao to ask about the arrangements for him before the winter vacation.

"You go to the SAR first. The factory over there has been renovated day and night, and the production equipment has been shipped from other factories in a hurry. The boss is going to entertain the representatives of the visiting consortium in the next few days, and you have to help to do a good job in the technical and business explanation of the reception.

The affairs of Hujiang have to greet the top, and the deputy director has to finalize everything else and report it together, and all other conditions have been prepared. On your return trip from the Special Administrative Region, you should first cross the river to say hello to Sir Shao, and then take the location crew and equipment from Xiangjiang to Hujiang to join us. ”

Gu Biao was a little surprised: "It turns out that the matter of Hujiang is so troublesome? I thought it was faster over there." ”

Director Bao understood on the phone: "It's not like this, it's the king of charter boats who was rejected once last time, after all, he lost face." This time the old thing is brought up again, and a little new condition must be added-

He is willing to increase the donation from HK$40 million to HK$50 million, or US$10 million. However, the condition changed from the original unconditional donation to the fact that it must be named 'Zhaolong Hotel', that is, to fight for a naming right for his old father.

Mayor Peng was worried that he would 'set up a monument for the Ben family', so he had to wait for the chief to write a prompt for the hotel before he was willing to implement it. How can the chief's Mobao be so easy to obtain, of course, he has to wait for the opportunity. ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Biao immediately understood, because the plot was similar to what he saw in the documentary of his previous life. It's just that his matchmaking made this Zhaolong Hotel a year or two ahead of schedule, and the pledge site was also moved from the capital to Hujiang, covering the planned land of Hujiang Huating.

(Note: Historically, because no one mediated, the charter king had a deep misunderstanding of the municipal government of Hujiang and was afraid of being humiliated again, so he later turned to the capital.) In the book, Gu Biao helped the two sides to eliminate misunderstandings in advance, so I think this butterfly effect is reasonable. ）

"Okay, then I'll leave for the SAR. Gu Biao hung up the phone, and then went to deal with the ticket.

As for his work after arriving in the Special Economic Zone, he has a good idea in his heart: it is nothing more than that when the boss brings Yue himself here, he should say some good things in front of Yue himself, first, to prove how promising this joint venture is and how good the business data is now.

Second, it is to emphasize that "I didn't have my own factory before, so I couldn't expand my production capacity and use the window to make more money." That's why I urgently need a joint venture with the mainland to make the business more effective with half the effort (when I say this, Gu Biao represents the identity of Hong Kong capital)"

All in all, it is necessary to make the Japanese side feel that CITIC's money is very important, and it has played a role in turning iron into gold. In this way, the consortium will be willing to trust the vision of CITIC Trust and subscribe for more bonds in the future.

Although it is a matter of helping others stand on the platform, Gu Biao himself has nothing to lose, after all, he can meet many well-known entrepreneurs through this, and this kind of network is very valuable to him when he is young.

The flight for the day had already passed, so Gu Biao bought it the next day, flew to Xiangjiang, and then returned to Guannai by land.

In 80 years, there was no airport in Shenzhen, and it was either to fly to Guangdong or to Xiangjiang. Gu Biao has a diplomatic passport and a long-term visa to travel between the two places casually, so it is more convenient to fly to Xiangjiang. But for those who don't have diplomatic passports, they would rather fly to Guangdong and walk more.

On the eve of leaving Beijing, after saying goodbye to his classmates and roommates, Ye Kun stopped him and asked him to have a supper together.

Gu Biao calmly followed, and when he arrived at a fly restaurant outside the school that sold double-skin milk and ginger milk, he saw that Isminaya was also there.

After all, we're still good friends.

"Are we not just seeing you off, or did Mina tell me that Teacher Han is working for you now?" After the double skin milk was served, Ye Kun tasted two sips and took the lead in asking.

Gu Biao looked at Mina: "It can't be regarded as working for me, she just went to a Hong Kong-funded company." ”

"We're all our own people, can you stop chewing words?" Ye Su was a little unhappy. She felt that Gu Biao was taking Mina as her own, but she was outside her.

Gu Biao: "Then you just say what's the matter with her." ”

Ye Kun instructed straightforwardly: "I won't be hypocritical with you, Teacher Han is good to us after all, and it is not easy for her to work hard away from her hometown now." Since I have gone to the Special Administrative Region at present, it is better than wandering outside. Here's a little gift, a hometown specialty, you can bring it to her, remember to tell her, we all miss her. ”

While speaking, Ye Kun handed over the package he was carrying to Gu Biao.

Only then did Gu Biao remember that Han Ting was now also in the Special Economic Zone, and as the operator of the joint venture, she was about to receive the inspection of the consortium together.

Originally, CITIC Trust accounted for 60% of the shares of Hanle Electronics Company after the joint venture, and the business decision-making power was to be returned to the newcomer. But the boss is also more atmospheric, investigated Han Ting's background, and found that he is a good comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who has been tested for a long time and has very good ability. When he was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he held a division-level position, and now he is in charge of a $5 million joint venture, which should be more than enough.

Therefore, the two sides reached an agreement to continue to have Han Ting as the general manager. (Gu Biao also asked Lin Guodong to pretend to play a white face)

In the end, CITIC only introduced two executives in charge of finance and auditing, and the others can be let go.

"I'm ashamed, you're still careful, I forgot that Teacher Han was there. Gu Biao took the thing guiltily.

Ye Su was speechless for a while, while Mina teased: "Senior Gu, how did you do it, usually when you make friends with people and build relationships, you are as radical as a wolf." Why is life so dull. ”

"Chefs don't cook when they come home? It's not like I'm overusing my brain to make friends at work, and my real friends around me are ignoring it. Gu Biao was blunt.

Men's ability to make friends is strongly utilitarian. For the sake of business and career, they can endure humiliation and put a lot of energy into it.

But if you are also attentive to women, there is probably only one explanation: you want to be on the other side.

Gu Biao doesn't care about the exchange of courtesies and small favors with female friends and even teachers. It shows that he is focused on business, which is a noble performance. He's a utilitarian pig's trotter.

Of course, when Ye Kun and Mina think of this, they can't say that they are scheming. It's just that women are naturally sensual and delicate, and they are willing to put their mind into doing things that are "not cost-effective" and do not see a return for the time being.

"It's good to have you remind me, and I'm coming back from winter break to bring you gifts. ”

……

The next day, Gu Biao flew directly to Xiangjiang and transferred to Shenzhen.

Director Bao gave him the address and asked him to go directly to the Shajiao Industrial Zone at the eastern end of the Jiehe River. The relevant personnel are now sitting in the office building of the Shajiao sub-district government, and even the only hotel in the district, preparing for the inspection of the consortium.

The boundary between the Xiangjiang River and the Shenshi River is formed by the Shenshi River and the Shajiao River - the upper reaches of the Shenshi River originate from the mountains of Longgang District in later generations, and branch into two strands near Zhongying Street.

The main stream is the Shenshi River, which flows westward into Shenshi Bay. On this section of the border, there are also Luohu and Futian, which are old ports with a history of more than 100 years, and the Guangdong-Kowloon Railway was also built from this side.

To the east of the fork, there is a much narrower branch, the Shajiao River, which flows all the way east and flows into the sea at Shajiao. Development here is much further behind than in the west, because it is not on the Guangdong-Xiangjiang line, and is almost entirely farmland, hillsides and sandbanks.

The Shekou Industrial Zone, which was established in July last year, is the border between the Special Zone and the west side of the Xiangjiang River. The Shajiao Industrial Zone, which was newly approved last month, is the end of the boundary between the Special Zone and the eastern side of the Xiangjiang River. One east and one west choke both ends of the border between the two places.

Gu Biao took a taxi and drove bumpily to the Shajiao Port, which had just been established for more than a month, only to see a Xietian Palace and Bodhisattva Temple on the side of the Xiangjiang River, and then it was all fields.

On the Shenzhen side, in addition to the Iwata District Government that is under construction, a building planned for the future port authority, and a wharf. Only the guest house, Hanle Electronics Factory and other buildings remain. The rest were all peasant bungalows.

The entire industrial zone is about two to three square kilometers in size, and there are not many factories that can fit in. There is only one T-shaped road paved with asphalt, that is, it extends from the customs port to the district government and the port authority, and the middle branch is from the district government to the Hanle electronics factory.

The rest of the plots of land have been leveled very quickly, and a lot of farmland has been leveled after being expropriated and abandoned, but there is no time to build any houses, and the roads are all rammed earth roads, and there is no cement.

However, all the people who come and go are in a hurry, and the people who work extremely hard, make it clear at a glance that this is a hot land.

After all, in the next few years, this is the only industrial zone in China that is allowed by the policy to "exempt new residents from corporate income tax and customs duties for 3 years", and this policy alone can make investors excited like a cardio booster and adrenaline.

The Shekou Industrial Zone at the western corner of the border is also exempt from income tax, but only for a longer period of time than here, but it is not exempt from customs duties. Therefore, in dealing with the "processing of imported materials" enterprises, the attraction of Shajiao is undoubtedly unique.

Hanle Electronics, because of the full promotion of the CITIC Department, has also become the first benchmark enterprise to settle in Shajiao Industrial Zone and put into production.

From this point of view, Gu Biao gave up some shares, which is also a very cost-effective deal. After all, these are all historical qualifications, and without the leverage of the CITIC Department, it would be impossible for Gu Biao to settle so many aspects of the relationship on his own.

According to the new map just published on January 1, Gu Biao found the guest house in the district.

The guest house is a three-story dilapidated concrete building with no steel structure, but the inside has been urgently painted.

The boss and the Japanese businessman have not yet come, so the rooms on the third floor are all vacated for the reception of big shots. Gu Biao took the letter of introduction. Proving his identity, he got a room on the second floor.

He also found Han Ting in the check-in roster in a room not far from him.

This point was indeed beyond Gu Ao's expectations. He felt that the factories were put into operation, and the accommodation problem should be solved.

If Han Ting has to live in a guest house during the reception of foreign guests, what should the workers usually do?

After washing and cleaning up, Gu Biao knocked on Teacher Han's door.

"Who?" said a vigilant female voice from inside.

"Teacher Han is me, Xiao Gu. ”

"Xiao Gu, you should come when I count the days. "This time, the reaction inside was very fast, and I opened the door without changing my clothes.

"Teacher Han, I ...... Is it easy to come in?"

"Come in and talk!" Han Ting gave him a strange look and pulled him in the door.

She didn't want the people in the hallway to see her disheveled after washing her hair.

"Mr. Han, why do you still live in the guest house? I heard that the factory has started, so where do the workers live now?"

"Of course, it is impossible for them to live in the industrial zone, so they all rent a bed in a farmer's house nearby to sleep, and they will build a bunk for 1 yuan and 5 cents a month. Walking 3 kilometers to work is nothing at all. Han Ting explained while wiping her hair.

1 yuan and 5 cents per month rent...... Is this still a special zone?

Gu Biao was shocked by this price again.
