Shennan Road, which has been completed and opened to traffic for less than half a year, can be regarded as the most spacious and magnificent highway in the Shenhai Special Economic Zone. This 50-meter-wide six-lane highway, starting from the Xinnan Checkpoint of Erdaoguan in the west and crossing the entire urban area in the east, is known as the "Ten Mile Chang'an Street" of the Deep Sea Special Zone!

Before the establishment of the Shenhai Special Zone, Shennan Road was just a dirt road connecting Xinnan Town and Shenhai Town. These two towns are the two largest towns in An-Bao County, the predecessor of the Shenhai Special Zone. Historically, the county governance of An-Bao County has been located in Xinnan Town for a long time, and there is still a well-preserved Xinnan Ancient City in the town.

It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China that in order to strengthen border management, the Bao'an County Government moved to Shenhai Town. The former Shenhai Town is now long gone, and has become the most prosperous city center in the Shenhai Special Zone. And Xinnan Town, as the station of Nanhu District, has also been rapidly changing its face in the past two years!

The first renovation of Shennan Road was in 1980, when the SAR government widened the 2.1-kilometre stretch of dirt road from Choi Uk Wai to Sheung Po Industrial Zone to 7 metres and paved it with asphalt.

At that time, the Deep Sea Special Zone had just been established, and there was hardly a decent road. The reason why the SAR government first spent money to repair this section of the road was to leave a good impression on the investors who came from Hong Kong to inspect it. After all, the dirt road is dusty on a sunny day and muddy on a rainy day, and it's easy to scare guests away in the first place.

Shangbu Industrial Zone is a deep-sea special zone, and the first industrial zone planned after its establishment is the area near Huaqiangbei later. The first batch of Hong Kong companies to invest in the SAR basically had only two options to build factories, Shangbu Industrial Zone and Shekou Industrial Zone.

However, after the establishment of the Nanhu Development Zone, its limelight has completely overtaken the original two industrial parks. Compared with the other two industrial zones that have no systematic planning and scattered layout. From the beginning of its establishment, the positioning of Nanhu Development Zone is very clear, which is to develop the electronics industry.

The rapid development of the Nanhu Development Zone. It has also driven the economy of the adjacent Nanhu District. For example, Xinnan Town is one of the biggest beneficiaries, with a large number of migrants pouring into Nanhu. It has greatly stimulated the local consumer market.

"It's been less than half a year since it opened, but it already has a good reputation, and business is very hot every day! If the Yuehai Restaurant is a banquet place for Hong Kong business bosses, then this Chaojiang Spring is a dining place for Hong Kong management and technical executives!" Luo Jingyue led a group of classmates and pointed to a three-story retro building facing the street.

"Squad leader, you should also consider the purse of our League secretary. Why don't we change to a small restaurant that is a little more civilian, I don't dare to step forward when I look at the decoration here!" Lin Shaoru said hesitantly.

Today's dinner was the first thing he proposed, and Lin Shaoru was actually just a casual remark at that time. If it really hurts the squad leader and the secretary of the regiment today, they are bleeding heavily. He inevitably felt a little guilty.

"Okay, don't pretend!" Luo Jingyue scolded with a smile, "I have a half-discount discount card, which expires in half a month, just take advantage of this opportunity to use it! And the consumption level here is not very outrageous! Since it is rare to invite everyone to rub it, I and the secretary of the League naturally want to find a place with a little grade!"

This Chaojiang Spring Restaurant adopts a simple Chinese decoration, although it is not luxurious, but there is an elegant charm in the simplicity. They are in this group of students. Most of them are eating in such an upscale place for the first time, and they have a feeling that their eyes are not enough to see as soon as they enter the restaurant.

Luo Jingyue had called in advance to book a large box a few hours ago. Therefore, after he went to the front desk to report his name, a waiter immediately guided everyone to the reserved box on the second floor to take a seat.

"You group of people just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It's too embarrassing for us SUSTech!" Lin Shaoru is a well-known poisonous tongue and chatter in the class, and as soon as everyone sat down, he began to habitually complain about other people.

"We didn't do anything unseemly. Is it embarrassing to look at it twice? People like you are just as curious to die, but you pretend not to care. is the expression of the real inferiority complex in the heart!" The rest of the class immediately began to fight back without showing weakness.

"That's right, you're just a swollen face and a fat man! It's really calm!" another person complained.

Lin Shaoru found that he had aroused the anger of the public all of a sudden and became the target of everyone, so he immediately used the excuse of finding out what Luo Jingyue was ordering and fled. He came out of the box and returned to the lobby of the ground floor, and soon found Luo Jingyue and Guo Huiqiao in the ordering area.

"Forget about roast suckling pig, the price is too expensive! Replace it with a signature braised goose per table, this dish is a must here. It is said that the master who cooks lo-mei is a retired celebrity chef specially invited from a state-run restaurant in Chao-Shan!" Lin Shaoru heard the conversation between Luo Jingyue and Guo Huiqiao before he approached.

"Squad leader, you must have come here to eat before, you are very familiar with the dishes here!" Lin Shaoru said with a smile.

"I've been here a few times before, and today I'm being slaughtered by you. It is indeed a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant!" Luo Jingyue glanced at Lin Shaoru and said.

"One-third of the students in our class are from the north, and we may not be used to the sweet taste of Cantonese food, so it's better to choose between honey barbecued pork and pineapple grunt pork!" Luo Jingyue looked at Guo Huiqiao and continued to ask.

"Let's choose pineapple grunt pork!" Lin Shaoru glanced at the labels of the two dishes, and immediately chose the cheaper grunt pork.

"Then choose pineapple grunt pork, and then let's have a white-cut chicken, a plum cabbage button pork, and a braised crucian carp, then there are already four large meat dishes! Then order three or four vegetarian dishes and two soups!" Luo Jingyue continued.

He writes down the names of the dishes on the menu while silently calculating the prices in his mind. If you include the drinks, the cost of this meal is estimated to be around 100 yuan per table. There are a total of 32 people in a class of 86 computers, divided into three tables, and the actual cost after the discount is 150 yuan, and each of them is 75 yuan.

This price is naturally not cheap, you must know that ordinary workers in most parts of the country have a monthly salary of less than 150 yuan. This meal ate up a month's salary. For the Chinese of this era, it is absolutely unacceptable.

But where is the Deep Sea Special Zone? This is the forefront of China's reform and opening up, and it is the easiest place to break old ideas! This money is even for Guo Huiqiao now. It's not entirely hard to bear.

In addition to managing the income of 50 lychee trees, she also found a part-time job in the school library and received a monthly subsidy of 120 yuan. The price of goods in the Deep Sea Special Zone is relatively high, and SUSTech has been working hard to create various work-study opportunities for students to reduce everyone's financial burden.

Moreover, the school not only urges students to study seriously, but also actively encourages everyone to apply what they have learned to integrate into society in advance. For example, SUSTech has reached a cooperative relationship with a large number of enterprises, including Oriental Group, to provide students with a large number of part-time internship opportunities.

For example, Luo Jingyue found an off-campus part-time job at the Oceanpower Foundation through campus recruitment. His job pays as much as 180 yuan a month, which is better than the wages of many full-time workers in the Shenhai Special Zone. That's the power of knowledge.

At present, China has not yet formed a free-flowing talent market, and a large number of migrant workers have begun to spontaneously go south to Guangdong Province to work, but there are still a few high-level intellectuals who dare to abandon their iron rice bowls and go to sea. Especially in the deep-sea special zone, the lack of senior technical and managerial talents has always been a very prominent contradiction.

A few years ago, the Eastern Bloc reached an agreement with the State Education Commission to start campus recruitment in universities across the country. Based on this, the Shenhai Municipal Government reported to the central government to organize enterprises in the Shenhai Special Zone to recruit freely in colleges and universities.

Because most of the enterprises in the special zones are not under the state planning system, they are not allocated quotas for graduates at all. The central government quickly agreed to the application. Therefore, in the past graduation season, the Shenhai Municipal Government organized a corporate recruitment group for the first time to recruit people from colleges and universities across the country.

"Ah Yue, just now the lobby manager said that he received a half-fold card. I thought it was who, it turned out to be you!" Luo Jingyue ordered a good dish and was about to return to the box with the other two. Suddenly, there was a gentle tap on his shoulder.

"Brother Chang, you gave me a bargain. Naturally, I'm going to have enough, if I don't come to this half-fold card, it will be invalid after the deadline!" Luo Jingyue turned his head to look. Immediately said with a smile.

"Let me introduce to you, this quiet beauty is Guo Huiqiao, the secretary of the Youth League in our class. The freshman year has just ended, and we specially invited the whole class to come out for a good time today! Another hippie smiling face is also my classmate, called Lin Shaoru!" After Luo Jingyue introduced Liu Chang to the two classmates standing beside him, he turned his head and said to his classmates, "This handsome and dashing handsome guy is the owner of Chaojiang Spring Restaurant, Brother Liu Chang!"

"It's over, I'm not the boss, I'm just one of the shareholders, everyone is welcome to come to our store to patronize!" Liu Chang smiled and arched his hand, "It's rare that you are so generous with this Grande, I will also help you assist." Today's drinks will be free of charge, and they will be credited to my account when the time comes!"

"Hehe, I, a poor student, am with you big money, so I naturally have to work hard to get some oil and water! Since Brother Chang is so generous, I might as well be respectful. Finally, I asked weakly, can I order foreign wine? Hennessy and Remy Martin would have two or three bottles each!" Luo Jingyue said unceremoniously.

"Get out of the way, it's really getting more and more inches! I still want to drink Remy Martin, you give me something beautiful, it's good to have beer!" Liu Chang scolded with a smile.

Several people exchanged a few words in the lobby and quickly separated. Lin Shaoru, a person who couldn't hide his words, recounted to the others in a vivid voice as soon as he returned to the box, and recounted the situation he had just met with the owner of this restaurant.

"Squad leader, this Boss Liu Chang looks really young, shouldn't he be thirty years old?" Guo Huiqiao couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"Brother Chang is indeed not yet 30 years old, he is a graduate of Tsinghua University in 84. In the year he graduated, the Eastern Group recruited fresh graduates for the first time at a domestic university. Brother Chang stood out and was hired, so he went south from Beijing to join the Chinese branch of Oriental Trading!

Last year, he and two other friends who also work at the Oriental Group founded the booming Chaojiang Spring Restaurant. In fact, there are two Chaojiang Spring Restaurants, in addition to this store in Xinnan Town, and another branch opened in the city center last month!" Luo Jingyue said simply.

"I thought he was the boss of Hong Kong, and just now I was wondering how he could speak Mandarin so standardly! Brother Chang only graduated from college in '84, so isn't it only about 25 years old this year! Just two or three years after working and then quitting to become his own boss, this is too powerful!" Lin Shaoru said with some incredulity, and the other students present were also a little dumbfounded.

"Actually, he is still working in Oriental Commercial now, and he has not resigned! Chaojiang Spring Restaurant can only be regarded as one of his side businesses, didn't you hear him introduce himself just now, he is a shareholder and not a boss!"

Luo Jingyue paused, saw that everyone else was full of curiosity, and did not sell it, and continued to explain to others, "There is a very popular way of starting a business in Hong Kong, called venture capital. He and two other friends made a feasibility report on opening a restaurant in Shenhai City, and then went to a venture fund to attract investment.

Because Oriental Group has always encouraged its employees to start a second business. Therefore, the entrepreneurial plan of Liu Changge and his friends has been given priority by Oriental Venture Capital. After review, Oriental Venture Capital decided to give them a risk capital of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in exchange for 45% of the equity of Chaojiang Spring Restaurant!

So Liu Chang and two other friends took the money and started a business. But he was not willing to resign completely from the Eastern Bloc, so he chose to stay without pay. When Chaojiangchun's first branch was on the right track, he chose to go back to work at Oriental Commercial, and the restaurant was handed over to a professional manager to take care of!"

"Can I understand that this big brother Liu Chang in your mouth used the means of an empty glove white wolf to buy such a magnificent restaurant without spending a penny of his own money?" Lin Shaoru had a good brain, and immediately asked.

"It can't be said that they are completely empty gloves white wolf, they initially wrote the business plan, they conducted a lot of in-depth investigation, and the initial investment cost was about 10,000 yuan! And this restaurant does not completely belong to them, the largest shareholder is actually Oriental Venture Capital! It's just that they use their own ideas to cooperate with venture capital, so as to achieve a win-win situation!" Luo Jingyue shook his head and said.

"This money is too easy to make! This restaurant business is so hot, I guess it can make at least tens of thousands of dollars a month!" I don't know who sighed.

"Hehe, you're too conservative! Chaojiangchun's daily business turnover is more than 20,000 yuan, and the gross profit in a month must be more than 100,000 yuan! And it has now opened a second branch in the urban area, and its business is also very good!" Luo Jingyue shook his head and said, "There are opportunities to make money everywhere in the Special Economic Zone, it depends on whether you have a pair of eyes to find gold!"

And don't think that it's so easy to get money from venture agencies, people actually have a rigorous evaluation mechanism! Only if they think your project is really promising, will they be willing to invest money in you! If only someone in our class could enter the Oriental Venture Capital internship, then today I can tell you how to become a billionaire overnight!" (To be continued......
