Chapter 0454 Fork in the Railway

When the language learning machine made a breakthrough and began to be accepted by people, the issue of bonds suggested by Xu Xiaoqing also made good progress.

The relevant departments not only approved Gu Yu's plan to issue corporate bonds, but also accepted almost all the details of the plan proposed by Gu Yu, and the only requirement was that Gu Yu should use all the shares held by the Imperial Capital Pharmaceutical Factory as collateral to guarantee this corporate bond plan.

In the plan submitted by Gu Yu, a total of 10 billion Huaxia coins will be issued in the first phase, no more, no less, a full 10 billion Huaxia coins, this scale cannot be said to be the largest number of corporate bonds issued by Huaxia, but it is not much worse. What's more, this is only the first phase, and if the response is good, it is still possible to approve the second, third, or even more phases.

In addition to the scale of issuance, Gu Yu has made corresponding designs in terms of issuance methods and preventing scalpers from making profits. The issuance method adopts a combination of entrusted bank sales and specialty store sales, and institutions and individuals can purchase them. In terms of interest rates, it is one percentage point higher than that of government bonds. The interest rate is slightly lower if it is an institutional purchase, and slightly higher if it is purchased by an individual. If it is purchased by an institution, the maximum purchase is 100 million yuan, and if it is purchased by an individual, the maximum purchase is 500,000 yuan, and the minimum is 10,000 yuan.

In addition, this is also specifically for the elderly to launch a special corporate bonds, starting from 5,000 yuan, the interest rate is quite flexible, the minimum holding period is three months, once more than three months, can be redeemed at any time, when redeeming, the corresponding interest is not discounted, are calculated according to the same period of bank fixed deposit interest 1.5 times. It can be said that with the launch of these programs, Gu Yu is completely sending money to the elderly, which can be regarded as a kind of feedback to the elderly. Of course, in the final analysis, Gu Yu did this for the sake of prestige, and there was no benefit for them, so why should people say that he was good?

In terms of preventing scalpers, Gu Yu has united with the public security organs, adopted face recognition technology, identity collection system, and combined with online registration, APP client registration and other ways to eliminate the space for scalpers to profit from it to the greatest extent.

After obtaining the approval of the relevant departments, Gu Yu immediately asked the company to announce the issuance plan of 10 billion corporate bonds, and announced the details of the issuance to the whole society. During this period, the company and several large state-owned banks have reached a plan to entrust the issuance, and several large state-owned banks have not only pre-purchased Gu Yu's corporate bonds, but also concluded this cooperation with preferential issuance fees.

Banks know that Gu Yu is a big piece of fat here, the cash flow in Gu Yu's hands is too huge, and in the foreseeable future, Gu Yu's hands can use more and more funds, if Gu Yu's funds can be absorbed and put into their bank, then they can use this huge amount of money to make I don't know how much, just the interest rate difference between deposits and loans, can make them make a lot of money. In contrast, the issuance fee is negligible.

After the listing of corporate bonds, the issuance went unusually smooth, and the part subscribed by institutions was sold out on the day of issuance, and the departments subscribed by individuals were sold out in just two days. Whether it is an institution or an individual, they are quite optimistic about the future of Gu Yu's transcendence of science and technology, not to mention that the issuance of corporate bonds this time is still guaranteed, now as long as the news is not too closed, we all know how valuable the equity of the imperial capital pharmaceutical factory is, and the part of the equity in Gu Yu's hands alone, if it is sold for tens of billions of yuan, someone will want it. There is no need to worry about Gu Yu not being able to repay the tens of billions of bonds in the future, and some people even wish that Gu Yu would not repay the debts after maturity, and then they can openly divide the equity of the Imperial Capital Pharmaceutical Factory.

In addition to the 10 billion corporate bonds, during this period of time, through the full launch of the language learning machine project, less than 10 billion funds have been raised, and the two together can basically meet Gu Yu's capital needs in China.

Gu Yu divided the funds into three, of which 10 billion funds were naturally invested in the Gu Chao Plant Research Institute in Binhai City, and the second part was divided into 5 billion yuan, and Gu Yu announced that he would set up a second pharmacy factory in Huaxia. The third part of the funds, Gu Yu plans to use for the follow-up arrangements for the promotion of language learning machines.

Let's start with the arrangement of the first part of the funding. Not to mention the start-up capital in the early stage, the funds of 10 billion Huaxia coins were directly remitted from the head office to the account of the Gu Chao Plant Research Institute after Gu Yu made a good plan.

The arrival of this fund immediately alarmed the mayor of Binhai City, Wang Minyi and others. Originally, Wang Minyi was worried that Gu Yu was just a mouthpiece, and he might not really want to invest tens of billions here, but he didn't expect Gu Yu's vigorous and resolute behavior to really put so much money into the account of Gu Chao Plant Research Institute, which made him have a good impression of Gu Yu.

Wang Minyi got reliable news that another botanical research institute jointly established by a number of professors and academicians in the next province, like Gu Yu's side, is also known to have invested tens of billions of yuan. In order to attract this investment, the next province has given quite favorable conditions, but until now, the actual implementation of the funds is only a little more than 200 million, which is not much worse than the promised 10 billion. It made him worry about the province next door, so good conditions were put into it, if it couldn't attract tens of billions of investment, the province next door would be bleeding hemorrhage.

In contrast, Gu Yu invested more than 500 million in the early stage of the start-up capital, and now it has received 10 billion, which can be said to be a thief's high efficiency. Wang Minyi has been in charge of the party for so long, and she really hasn't met someone as refreshing as Gu Yu.

Wang Minyi, who was very happy, personally rushed to the construction site of the Guchao Institute of Botany with the leaders of various key departments and came to the site for an on-site office. He said in public that the city should take the Guchao Plant Research Institute as a key project to grasp, and the policy should be fully supported, and it is strictly forbidden for any department to eat and take cards on this project. If there is any need from the Gu Chao Botanical Research Institute, you can call him directly and he will be responsible for solving it.

With the support of the local government and sufficient financial guarantees, in terms of talents, Gu Yu's series of efforts have recruited enough people, and then the construction of the Gu Chao Plant Research Institute has entered the fast lane. The infrastructure of the institute is advancing rapidly on the basis of ensuring quality, and all kinds of equipment required by the institute have also been ordered, and they can be loaded and used as soon as possible after the infrastructure is completed.

Gu Chao Plant Research Institute didn't need Gu Yu to worry about anything for the time being, in addition to arranging for some experts in plant research and cultivation to train the recruited employees, his attention was temporarily on another matter.

This involves the second use of the 20 billion funds raised. Gu Yu announced that he would build a second pharmacy factory in Huaxia. After the news came out, the whole world was sensational, especially the organizations and institutions in Huaxia that were qualified to reach this matter were very excited. The popularity of the Imperial Capital Pharmaceutical Factory is obvious to all, and the shareholders who participated in the joint venture are now making a few dollars to cramp their hands, this time Gu Yu wants to build the second pharmaceutical factory, if they can participate in the joint venture like the shareholders of the imperial capital pharmaceutical factory, and become the shareholders of the second pharmaceutical factory, then it will be their turn to count the money and count the cramps.

The existence of this possibility made them excited. However, what disappointed them was that Gu Yu immediately announced that the Second Pharmaceutical Factory would be a sole proprietorship, and he would not be in a joint venture with others.

Many people scoffed at Gu Yu's statement, and the whole world could see how ambitious the money of the pharmacy factory was, and no one would give up this piece of fat in their mouths. Even if they don't stretch out their hands, will the provider of the land still give up this benefit? As long as Gu Yu opens this opening, then they will have every reason to put pressure on Gu Yu. Even if Gu Yu doesn't let go of his mouth at that time, it doesn't matter, they have a way to make the people or organizations who provide the land spit out the fat in their mouths. At present, Gu Yu is receiving more and more attention, and Gu Yu's influence is also increasing, and these people who are greedy for interests do not dare to use these shady means in Gu Yu's hands for a while. If it had been left behind, they were afraid that they would have made a direct move towards Gu Yu a long time ago.

Facing the surging wind outside, Gu Yu was not in a hurry. The establishment of the second pharmacy factory is not his temporary idea, after realizing the various shortcomings of the imperial capital pharmacy factory, he has the idea of setting up the second pharmacy factory in Huaxia, such a big market in Huaxia, and the place where he was born and raised, he intends to let all the people in Huaxia use all kinds of medicines, including strengthening medicines, relying on the output of the imperial capital pharmacy alone, it is definitely not enough, even if he can transfer a part of it from the pharmacy factory in BX country, there will be a huge gap, only the establishment of a second pharmacy factory with a large enough production scale can completely solve this problem。

After having this idea, Gu Yu secretly sent a number of delegations to various parts of the country to investigate, investigate the local investment environment, and contact the local government to understand their attitude.

Like those who were waiting for a joint venture with Gu Yu, almost every government government they came into contact with welcomed Gu Yu's investment and was willing to provide preferential policies, but when they learned that Gu Yu was planning to set up the Second Pharmaceutical Factory, they all chose to follow the imperial capital municipal government and asked for land as a shareholder and a certain percentage of shares in the Second Pharmaceutical Factory. The proportion of shares can be discussed, but if you want them not to buy shares, it is absolutely impossible.

Gu Yu naturally couldn't agree to such conditions, he wasn't unwilling to share the benefits to others, but he didn't want to be like the Imperial Capital Pharmacy Factory, obviously what he wanted to do was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but in the end, someone sang the scriptures crookedly and became a tool for personal gain. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to turn his face with some people, Gu Yu would not have agreed to reorganize the Imperial Capital Pharmacy Factory. In Gu Yu's plan, his patent on the drug was granted to the Imperial Capital Pharmaceutical Factory for a limited time, and after the authorization period expired, he did not plan to continue to license it to the Imperial Capital Pharmaceutical Factory. At that time, there was only one pharmacy factory in Huaxia that produced all kinds of medicines, and in order to prevent some people from continuing to use them for personal gain, Gu Yu decided to be a sole proprietor at the beginning, and would never give anyone a chance to interfere.

The feedback from all over the country made Gu Yu realize that it was impossible to purchase land for the construction of the second pharmacy factory in a prosperous place like the imperial capital, or in a place that had already been developed. What he can do is shift his gaze and target areas that are not taken seriously or do not have any development value in the eyes of the general public.

Soon, Gu Yu set his sights on the desert area in the northwest, where there is sparsely populated, there is almost no precipitation every year, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is simply barren land, and the development value can be said to be zero.

Gu Yu immediately instructed the delegation to go there and talk to the local government, if the local government still insisted on equity even with this choice, he would not plan to build a second pharmaceutical factory in China, but simply build it abroad, and it would be a big deal to import more medicines from abroad in the future.

However, this time the delegation did not disappoint Gu Yu, after learning that Gu Yu wanted to lease a large area of desert, and promised not to carry out sand mining operations, and at the same time to protect the ecology, it was very happy to sign a lease agreement with Gu Yu Beyond Technology for a period of up to 30 years, and Gu Yu Beyond Technology rented a whole hundred square kilometers of desert in the local area at a price of 100 million yuan a year.

Because of Gu Yu's request, this desert is not in the depths of the desert, but on the edge of the desert, but even so, such a desert, except for the occasional adventurous traveler who will come to take a look, at other times, there is basically no one. This kind of rent is simply the same as picking up for nothing. As for what Gu Yu will use for after he leaves, the local government is not in the mood to care.

This desert also has a feature, that is, it is about ten kilometers away from the nearest railway line, after determining the lease location and signing the contract, Gu Yu asked people to go to the Huaxia Railway Corporation to do public relations, hoping that the railway can arrange to build a fork in the road and extend the railway to the desert he leased.

Speaking of a ten-kilometer-long railway, there is not much money, counting the supporting facilities, two or three hundred million is enough, but the problem is that the railway general will not casually open a fork in the existing railway, after all, such a fork is neither a matter of national security, nor enough economic benefits, let alone two or three hundred million, even if it is two or three million, the railway general will not be casually put into it.

Gu Yu asked the public relations team to talk to Mr. Tie, saying that the construction funds of these two or three hundred million yuan could be paid in advance by Gu Yu first, and then slowly deducted from this advance payment after the railway branch line became profitable in the future.
