Chapter 492
"What kind of medicine are you selling in Han Ying's gourd?" Liu Wei's eyes lit up when he heard the word "marriage", but he was not easily fooled by his friends.
"What other medicine can you buy, although our Chaojiang Spring Restaurant is very prosperous now, it is not easy to continue to expand in the future! The threshold for entering the catering industry is not high, but local protectionism is very strong!
It took less than a decade for the Deep Sea Special Zone to develop from a small fishing village to the metropolis it is today. The old interest system is a blank, and the new interest pattern has not yet been stabilized, so we are given the opportunity!
But if you want to set up a restaurant outside the Special Economic Zone, you have to deal with people from all walks of life and at all levels! I have the leisure to deal with all kinds of bodhisattvas, so it is better to change careers and start other companies! After all, we are people from the Oriental Group, and only by doing the electronics industry can we borrow the greatest help!" Liu Chang said without concealment.
The current development of the Shenhai Special Zone is that two wings are flying together, one wing is Luotian District and Fushan District in the east, relying on the urbanization expansion of Shenhai City, a metropolis is rapidly rising. On the other side, Nanhu District and Shekou District in the west, relying on Shekou Industrial Zone and Nanhu Development Zone, are also making great strides.
Chaojiang Spring Restaurant has opened a branch in Xinnan Town and an urban area, and has been able to cover the entire Shenhai City market in a short period of time. Liu's expansion from one store to two stores has been very smooth, and he originally planned to go north to open a third branch in the provincial capital of eastern Guangdong Province.
However, although Guangdong Province is known as the vanguard of reform and opening up, other regions, including Yuezhou City, have many policies in the degree of openness. In fact, it is not comparable to the deep-sea special zone. Although the streets and alleys of Guangdong City have blossomed everywhere, it is not easy to really want to open a formal catering business, and the approval of various procedures alone is a big head.
And Yuezhou said to Liu Chang that he was not familiar with life. In the Deep Sea Special Zone before, he had been working here for two or three years, and he could barely be regarded as a half-land snake. Moreover, the Oriental Commercial Company where Liu Chang works is definitely the most treated-by the Shenhai Municipal Government. He relied on the golden sign of his company and accumulated a lot of contacts for entrepreneurship.
This is an important reason why Chaojiang Spring can open smoothly, but it does not have this foundation in Guangdong. So after thinking about it again, Liu Chang finally decided to give up and continue to expand. He simply put the restaurant that was already on the right track. Handed over to the two store managers who had slowly experienced the responsibility, and he turned around and went back to the Eastern Group to eat back grass.
"There will be two new restaurants in Xinnan Town next month, one focusing on Hakka cuisine. The other focuses on Cantonese cuisine! The competition in this industry will become more and more fierce in the future, and you can take advantage of the fact that the performance of the restaurant is rising in time, but you have made a good calculation!" Fang Qianqian said with some amusement.
"Liu Wei, you really found the right daughter-in-law! Qianqian is now openly and secretly starting to lower the price! If you are not willing to take over. I can also sell the equity in my hand to other people! Hehe, I just need to throw out our Chaojiangchun's business statements, and those who want to take over must not queue up for a long time!" Liu Chang said very calmly.
Although Chaojiang Spring Restaurant has limited development potential in Liu Chang's eyes, it is not worth his continued effort. But its current business situation is definitely the emperor's daughter who does not worry about getting married, and it is a high-quality asset that has been robbed.
Although whether it is in Xinnan Town or the urban area, with the development of the economy, the market for mid-to-high-end restaurants will become larger and larger. Naturally, more and more people will come in to grab food. But everyone has consumption inertia, and Chaojiangchun has taken the lead in establishing a reputation. As long as you don't faint and make mistakes. It's not so easy for others to follow suit and grab business!
"I'm just telling the truth, haha, you and Han Ying are much more treacherous than the two of us!" Fang Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled, "I'll go back and discuss with my father to see if he is interested in taking over your shares! I won't go and rob my brother of the other properties in the family, but Chao Jiangchun and my father always have some blood and buy it for me as a dowry! This is my first career!"
"If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!" Liu Chang squeezed his eyes at Liu Wei, who was sitting opposite him, "You hurry up and marry Qianqian back, her dowry is not small, be careful that other men will pry the corner of the wall later!"
"How did you think of going to Oriental Ventures, are you going to transfer to Hong Kong to work in the future?" Liu Wei didn't pick up his stubble, and continued to ask curiously.
At the beginning of this year, Oriental Venture Capital upgraded its office in Shenhai City to a branch! In the past six months, we have been expanding our staff, otherwise you think that I can transfer work across companies so easily!"
Liu Chang shook his head and continued to explain, "There are now too many monks and too little porridge in Hong Kong, and there will be countless venture capital rushing for every good project!
I have just been assigned a project and will go to Deshun County next week next week to inspect Deshun County, next to Yuezhou City. There is a township enterprise called Zhujiang Refrigerator Factory in Deshun County, which has developed from a total capital of less than 100,000 yuan when the factory was built to a total value of more than 50 million yuan in just over three years!
If you want to invest in such a thriving company in other countries, you will definitely have a lot of chips to pay. However, under the current economic system in China, the Pearl River Refrigerator Factory has been discriminated against because of its status as a township enterprise.
Last year, the relevant state departments held a national meeting on the fixed-point production of refrigerators. The Pearl River Refrigerator Factory spent a lot of effort to finally attach the enterprise to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Light Industry at the last moment. This allowed it to successfully obtain the target of a designated factory, thus avoiding the tragedy of shutdown and closure.
And this time, our Oriental Venture Capital, just revealed the intention to buy shares, the actual mother of the Pearl River Refrigerator Factory, the Guirong Town Government immediately can't wait to contact us!
Because if we are willing to invest in Oriental Venture Capital, not only can the Pearl River Refrigerator Factory throw off the hat of a township enterprise in one fell swoop, but also turn into a joint venture that enjoys various preferential policies. The Ronggui town government can also take advantage of this to successfully attract foreign investment!"
"Listen to you. How can I have the feeling that I would rather be a thief than a family!" Liu Wei said with a frown.
"Who made our country short of foreign exchange, but I do think that many policies to attract investment are now a bit excessive. Especially the kneecaps of some people. It's too soft in front of foreign businessmen! Do you know that there are a few people in the city's business bureau who will come to the city, and it has even developed to the point of pimping Hong Kong businessmen!" Liu Chang said with a wry smile.
"It's not that there are already several second-milk villages in the Special Economic Zone, and the news has even been on the central government's internal reference!"
Liu Wei also gossiped. The rapid economic development of the SEZs will naturally have a serious impact on the original values of society, and it is only normal for the phenomenon of money worship to appear.
"You men don't have a good thing. Liu Wei, let me tell you, if you dare to mess around in the future, I will have to castrate you with my own hands!" Fang Qianqian said and twisted her boyfriend's arm viciously.
The two men's hairs stood on end. They glanced at each other, and then changed the topic very tacitly! Of course, Liu Chang inevitably mourned for his friend for three seconds in his heart. Originally, the quiet Fang Qianqian in everyone's eyes was after getting along. Finally began to show the strong side. Liu Wei is destined to suffer from tracheitis for the rest of his life!
For example, Fang Qianqian is a die-hard fan of the company's big boss Li Sheng, and she has three wives and four concubines for her idol, so she doesn't have the slightest feeling of gritting her teeth just now!

The big boss that Liu Chang was thinking about was actually watching TV in a villa less than ten kilometers away from him. The news on television was showing that Mr. D was meeting with Korošec, a member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist League of Yugoslavia, who was visiting the country. During the talks between the two men, Mr. D pointed out that the practice of the past few years has proved that we are on the right path in carrying out reform and opening up.
The next step for China is to sum up its experience on the basis of summing up its experience. Speed up the pace of reform and opening up. China's reform is a comprehensive reform, including economic reform, political system reform, and corresponding reforms in various other fields. China's opening up is open to all countries in the world. Open to all types of countries!
This news, which appeared in the "News Network" and lasted as long as four or five minutes, undoubtedly sent a signal to the outside world that China will continue to promote reform and opening up in depth. Since the beginning of this year, Mr. D has released similar signals many times when approaching foreign guests.
These signals should all be for the 13 warm-ups of the Central People's Congress in a few months. For the first time, the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that we are now in the primary stage of socialism and officially wrote reform and opening up into the basic line of our party in the future of "one center and two basic points".
It was only after 1987 that China's change from a planned economy to a market economy really began to become irreversible! For Li Xuan and the Oriental Group, the next China is a market that is truly worth seriously operating and arranging!
"Brother, Xiaodoubao finally called me 'aunt' just now!"
Li Ying hugged a cute two-year-old girl with a happy smile on her face, and walked over to Li Xuan, who was watching TV on the sofa, and said. She has spent most of her time studying in the United States in the past few years, and she has little contact with several nephews and nieces, so the children are naturally more recognizable.
Especially Li Xuan and Li Zhi's daughter Xiaodoubao, in order to take care of Zhong Chuhong's face, Li Xuan rarely took this daughter to meet the Li family. Li Xuan took her daughter from her sister's hand and rubbed her chin affectionately against Xiaodoubao's delicate forehead.
But the stubble on the father's chin obviously made the daughter very uncomfortable! Xiaodoubao pouted with a little face, and the two white and tender little hands tried hard to push away the father's chin, and kept muttering: "Bad father!
Li Xuan likes to tease his daughter with a beard like this, looking at his daughter's cute appearance, the corners of his mouth can't help but have a few more smiles.
"I heard that you are going to go to northern Guangdong tomorrow for a field trip, but you must be prepared in advance to be respectful and humble, where the traffic is closed and the economic conditions are relatively backward!" Li Xuan asked casually.
Li Ying had just returned to Hong Kong after graduating from New York University, and according to the agreement made by the siblings last year, she finally chose to join the Oceanpower Foundation. In recent years, Oceanpower Foundation has gradually begun to shift the focus of its support to China.
In fact, as early as the establishment of the Oceanpower Foundation, various donations to the land have never stopped. The Foundation's largest single donation to date is the $50 million start-up fund donated by SUSTech when it was established. In addition to this start-up fund, Oceanpower Foundation will also donate 25 million US dollars to SUSTech every year for a total of 10 years!
Of course, this $300 million donation is, to some extent, not so simple. The birth of a first-class university in China and even in the world is of great significance to the Eastern Bloc. In a few years, SUSTech will soon become an important talent pool to support the continued development of the Eastern Group!
In addition to the donation to SUSTech, Oceanpower Foundation has made many donations in the mainland. For example, it donated to build a Haichuan Hospital for the Shenhai Special Economic Zone, and set up Haichuan Scholarship in more than a dozen famous universities across the country, such as Shenzhen University, Zhongshan University, and Fudan University.
In fact, the charity activities of the Oceanpower Foundation in the early days were all tinged with utilitarian power, largely for the sake of seeking fame quickly. However, in recent years, the foundation has finally begun to invest more funds into real charity, and has begun to carry out some more grassroots assistance projects.
For example, in view of the difficulty of a large number of children of migrant workers who do not have local household registration to attend school, the Oceanpower Foundation and the Shenhai Municipal Education Bureau have launched an education program for the children of migrant workers. Since last year, Oceanpower Foundation has opened five primary schools for migrant workers and two middle schools for migrant workers in areas with a high concentration of migrant workers in the deep-sea Special Economic Zone.
Let these children who are unable to attend school in the nearest school under the current hukou policy have equal opportunities to receive education. You must know that these schools for the children of migrant workers run by the Oceanpower Foundation are not the schools for the children of migrant workers with poor conditions in later generations. The hardware conditions of these schools are definitely better than most primary and secondary schools in China!
In addition to this project, Oceanpower Foundation has also cooperated with a number of tertiary hospitals in eastern Guangdong Province to carry out a free clinic activity called "Famous Doctors Go to the Countryside" since last year. For example, dozens of ophthalmologists from hospitals in eastern Guangdong Province carried out more than 500 cataract surgeries for people with families in remote areas of the province last year, allowing these patients to regain their sight. And all the costs are borne by Oceanpower Foundation!
It was by no means an easy task to carry out philanthropy in China in the 80s. This is because the concept of going up to the central government and down to the grassroots level is not so open. You must know that just a few years ago, the areas that foreign guests could visit after entering the country were all strictly restricted, and they were basically concentrated in a few big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, etc.!
In addition to the Cold War mentality of preventing intermediate-espionage intelligence, it is also because we are unwilling to expose our poor and backward side to foreign guests.
But the times are advancing, and concepts are changing! Backwardness is backwardness, in fact, there is really no need to slap a swollen face and become fat! Especially like the Oceanpower Foundation, this is really to throw money, this kind of pie-in-the-sky opportunity does not come every day! (To be continued......
