Shortly after New Year's Day in 1984, the north was still icy and snowy, but southern China had ushered in another green spring. A special train slowly drove into the Yuezhou Railway Station, and the main leaders of Guangdong Province had been waiting on the platform for a long time.

But the old man they greeted did not get off the train, and the train only stopped at Yuezhou Station for about half an hour. The secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of eastern Guangdong, who had been waiting on the platform, finally left the railway station to return to the provincial party committee to preside over the work, while the governor boarded the train, which continued to the deep-sea special zone in the south.

The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government had originally arranged for the Zhudao Hotel for Deng Lao to stay and rest first. However, Deng Lao insisted on going directly to the Shenhai Special Economic Zone despite the fatigue of traveling, so the eastern part of Guangdong had to urgently adjust the arrangements. Taking advantage of the leisure time of the journey, Governor Liang Linguang reported to Deng Lao in the living room of the special train, on behalf of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government.

"This Mr. Li deserves to be called the 'reincarnation of the God of Wealth' by all Hong Kong people, and he can come up with 5 billion US dollars casually, and even Lao Zhao, the general manager, is envious!" Deng Lao flicked the text in his hand and laughed loudly.

As of the end of last year, China's foreign exchange balance was less than $9 billion. And such a small amount of money has to be supported, and all the foreign economic ties of such a huge country are naturally far less generous than Li Xuan, a person who feeds his whole family and is not hungry.

"The scale of the electronic industrial park plan submitted by the Shenhai Special Zone is very ambitious! A manufacturing base with an annual output of 10 million televisions and monitors will have an annual output value of at least $1.5 billion or more if it can be built. What's more, all the products in the plan are for export and will not crowd out the domestic market. Mr. Li has sent us a big gift!" Deng Lao put down the text in his hand, shook his head and smiled.

"yes. The GDP of Shenhai City in 1983 was estimated to be more than 1 billion yuan! It's equivalent to rebuilding two deep-sea special zones at once!" Liang Linguang also said with a smile, he still remembered the scene when Liang Xiang, the secretary of the municipal party committee of the deep-sea special zone at that time, rushed to his home overnight. To be honest, when he first saw the proposal, he couldn't believe it.

"It's just that this 'God of Wealth' has just spent $5 billion in the United States, most of which are loans from foreign banks. The scale of the debts of the Eastern Bloc is already quite large, and now it is immediately preparing to carry out such a big plan in China, and I don't know if we will be able to raise enough funds! As long as the Hong Kong compatriots are willing to return to China to invest, even if the initial steps are a little smaller, we will welcome it. To make an investment, you still have to live within your means!" said Deng Lao noncommittally.

Liang Linguang shook his head and said something very surprising: "Actually, 'God of Wealth Li' doesn't need to pay a penny at all!"

"Oh?" Deng Lao couldn't help but be a little more interested, and the others present were also puzzled.

Liang Linguang then began to explain: "The model adopted by the Oriental Group is different from that of domestic enterprises, they are only responsible for technology research and development and brand promotion, and the specific product production is outsourced to other companies!"

And this time, after Dongfang Electronics acquires RCA, it will also take this approach. RCA only retains the production of several core components such as picture tubes and integrated circuit components, and the specific production process of TV sets is entrusted to other companies!

Not long ago, the Hong Kong market just reported that the joint venture picture tube factory jointly founded by Dongfang Electronics, RCA Company and Hong Kong Lu's Electronics will be renamed RCA Asia Picture Tube Manufacturing Company. It will soon be listed independently on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The funds raised by the company will be used to expand the new CRT factory. Previously, their factory in Shekou Industrial Zone had an annual production capacity of 3.9 million picture tubes, and this time it will be expanded to 10 million tubes per year!"

Liang Linguang's words are interspersed with many new words that have not yet become popular in the mainland. Deng Lao listened very carefully.

He understood what Liang Linguang meant, and couldn't help but nod and said, "This Mr. Li is a good method, and he has taken the trick of borrowing chickens and eggs to the extreme! He also borrowed money from the people of Hong Kong. Build yourself a factory!"

Also three days ago, RCA announced that it would take its semiconductor business. The Fairchild Semiconductor Company is the originator of the US semiconductor industry, but it was also acquired by Dongfang Electronics more than a year ago! According to Dongfang Electronics' plan. Fairchild Semiconductor is also interested in building a new wafer factory in the Deep Sea Special Zone to produce consumer semiconductors such as TVs and video recorders in the near future!" Liang Linguang added.

"It seems that this 'God of Wealth Li' has a very complete plan! What specific requirements do they have?" asked Deng Lao again.

"Because of the importance of the matter, Shenhai City did not dare to report to the province alone, and after discussing with the old Ren, it was decided that the province would send a special working group to work with the cadres of Shenhai City to start preliminary negotiations with RCA!

In addition to hoping to get enough preferential treatment in terms of land and taxation, we also hope that we will make commitments in many aspects such as talent allocation and intellectual property protection!

There are many issues that our province's authority may not be sufficient, and when the negotiations with the other side are over, Secretary Ren and I are going to make a special outline of the other party's requirements and then make a detailed report to the central authorities!" Liang Linguang said.

The special train quickly headed towards the Deep Sea Special Zone, and the topics in the living room never left Li Xuan along the way. Compared with the comrades from all walks of life in the central government who accompanied Deng Lao on his southward inspection, Liang Linguang, as the governor of eastern Guangdong Province, has a better understanding of the situation in Hong Kong, and he has a good grasp of all kinds of information about this "God of Wealth" Lee.

And just when another group of people in the distance were discussing Li Xuan's person enthusiastically, he was standing on the top of a high-rise building that had just been completed, looking around casually.

"Ah Hao, the title of the tallest building in China of Feihong Building, it is estimated that it will be retained for a year at most!" Li Xuan pointed to the opposite corner of the street, another building under intense construction, and said with a smile.

The high-rise building under construction is the famous International Trade Building, and the "deep-sea speed" of one floor in three days refers to the construction process of this building.

Regarding the topic that Li Xuan opened, Lin Yuhao, who was standing beside him, just smiled disappreciatively. He is a businessman, and he values practical benefits more than the false name of the tallest building.

Fei Hong Building is a 120-meter-high, 40 floors above ground and 3 floors underground, with a total of 43 floors. However, commercial office buildings are not as good as those commercial residential buildings before, and Lin Yuhao cannot return funds in advance by selling pre-sale properties. In order to build the tallest office building in the deep sea, Feihong Real Estate almost drained all of its funds, thanks to a large loan from Jiahua Bank.

Lin Yuhao felt that the luckiest thing in his life was that he chose to stay at CUHK to study at university, which allowed him to meet Li Xuan, his roommate. It is precisely because of Li Xuan that Lin Yuhao's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. (To be continued......)
