Chapter 249: The Reason for Being Capricious

It's mid-August, the hottest time of the year. There are large and small "furnaces" along the Yangtze River in our country, from the mountain city in the upper reaches to the Jinling in the lower reaches, etc., all have the title of "furnaces", and Hongcheng in Nanjiang Province is actually one of the furnaces, so at this time, the weather here is undoubtedly extremely hot.

However, despite the hot and humid weather, there was one person in Hongcheng at this time who was even hotter than this weather, and this person was Chairman Ouyang of the Federation of Overseas Chinese. Because he had just received a letter, to be precise, something like an official letter, which was sent by the Xiangjiang Lin Group.

Let's not talk about whether this is procedurally correct, whether the Lin Group is qualified to send an official letter to the Federation of Overseas Chinese. In short, after Chairman Ouyang read the content of the letter, he immediately couldn't sit still.

"The Lim Group intends to build a ceramic factory in Nam Giang Province to produce architectural tiles, with an investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars. I hope that the Federation of Overseas Chinese and Chairman Ouyang will cooperate and support....."

To be honest, Chairman Ouyang didn't read everything clearly when he read the letter, because he was a little dizzy by the number "100 million Hong Kong dollars". In the words of later generations, our Chairman Ouyang's eyes were almost blinded.

You must know that now is not the future generations, before Li Huayong crossed, such an investment amount was not remarkable at all, let alone a second-tier provincial capital city like Hongcheng, even if it is a third-tier, fourth-tier, or even a more developed township, such projects abound.

However, this is not the case in the current era, where there is no boom in large-scale investment. In particular, investment from overseas is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas. In an inland province like Nam Giang, not to mention hundreds of millions of foreign investments, even tens of millions or millions of projects are rare.

Chairman Ouyang Da, who works in the Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, actually has a deep understanding of this. Of course, there are also overseas Chinese in Nanjiang Province, but after some overseas Chinese from Nanjiang returned to their hometowns at this time, many people would rather only do charity, such as donating to education and teaching assistants, and these people are not willing to invest.

As for the reason, Chairman Ouyang Da of course also knew that these people disliked the poor investment environment in Nam Giang Province and were worried that they would not be able to make money by investing here.

This is the reason why Chairman Ouyang Da is in a hotter mood than this weather after reading the "official letter" of the Lin Group. You must know that the Lin family in Xiangjiang is not from Nanjiang, and everyone only got married through the marble mine in Shimen County. Originally, Chairman Ouyang didn't have much hope for this investment.

Because of the fact that the Lin Group sent a group of people to conduct investigation and research in the local area, Chairman Ouyang, who has been paying attention, of course knows a little, and judging from the information fed back from all sides, the matter of pulling investment this time is not optimistic at all. There are all kinds of indications that the Lin Group seems to have no intention of investing in Nanjiang as well, and even their reasons are the same as others, that the investment environment in Nanjiang does not meet their requirements.

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that after such an official letter-like thing arrived in the hands of Chairman Ouyang, what a big surprise it gave him. Chairman Ouyang didn't expect that the attitude of the Lin Group was different from the information he had, they were willing to invest, they were not only willing to invest, but also took the initiative to propose such a high investment amount.

Chairman Ouyang was happy in his heart, and his happiness mainly came from two points: First of all, the Lin Group has an outstanding reputation in China, and they are the first batch of "patriotic overseas Chinese" to invest in the mainland, and their identity is officially recognized. It is precisely because of this "official recognition" that Chairman Ouyang feels very down-to-earth, and he at least does not have to worry about encountering all kinds of "fake investments".

On the other hand, Chairman Ouyang is very satisfied with the approach of the Lin Group. Holding the same thing as the "official letter", Chairman Ouyang Da was happy in the office for a long time.

You must know that our Chairman Ouyang is a person with pursuits, although the level of the chairman of the Provincial Federation of Overseas Chinese is not low, but this obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of our Chairman Ouyang.

Chairman Ouyang Da looked up and down left and right in his office:

"If this is done, I should have a chance to leave this idle office...... No, no, now is not the time to be happy, so what should I do next......

Chairman Ouyang forced himself to calm down and began to think about what he should do next.

It's just that Chairman Ouyang didn't expect that at this time, in the entire Nanjiang, he was not the only one who received a similar "official letter", including Zhang Chi, deputy director of the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, the mayor of the city where Shimen County is located, and even the senior county officials of Shimen County, all received a similar thing.

Although the text is different and the format is different, the central content is the same: the Lin Group intends to invest in Nanjiang, and the investment intention amount is tentatively set at 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, it is completely conceivable that when such a thing appeared in the hands of some officials in the Nam Giang provincial system, the entire Nam Giang officialdom was quickly in turmoil.

Of course, it is also completely conceivable that the person who can come up with such a bad idea can only be Li Huayong, an old fritter who used to mix in the system and is now ready to be a contract foreman.

What is Li Huayong, who is ready to stir up the wind and rain, doing now?

Well, he is relatively cool now, after all, as one of the most upscale hotels in Nanjiang Province, the Nanjiang Hotel is still air-conditioned. And now Li Huayong is fighting the landlord with Lin Wei and the two sisters in his room.

After a game of cards, Li Huayong couldn't laugh and cry the "lesson" Lin Wei:

"How many times have I told you, you can't be capricious about fighting the landlord, you talk about you, ah?!Is it interesting for me to rob the landlord with such a bad card......?

"You are allowed to be willful, and I am not allowed to be willful once?"

Li Huayong looked at Lin Wei happily, how could Li Huayong not understand her "pun intended"? I have known each other for so long, and Li Huayong still knows his girlfriend very well.

Lin Weike is different from her sister, if Lin Hui is an idealist with a bit of literary temperament, then his girlfriend is a very realistic person.

To put it nicely, this is a realist, but to put it mildly, she likes to get into the eyes of money in everything she does.

Of course, Li Huayong doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. To tell the truth, if Lin Wei is not this kind of person, then Li Huayong is not willing to find such a person. Because Li Huayong has always believed that the so-called "virtuous helpers", how can he be a "virtuous helper" in the eyes of others if he doesn't bother with money? Finding someone like Lin Wei is much better than finding a loser's mother-in-law.

"Hehe, don't fight, don't fight, you two come here just to ask me why I'm doing this, right? Okay, I'll tell you my reasons now. ”

"Well, we'll all listen. ”

Li Huayong put down the cards in his hand, got up and walked to a wall in the room, and the Lin Wei sisters unconsciously got up and stood side by side behind Li Huayong.

There was nothing else to this wall, just a map, a map of Nam Giang province.

Li Huayong pointed to the map and said to the Lin Wei sisters:

"Look, this is Hongcheng, where we are now, and that place is the location of my hometown Lijiaao, you pay attention, a little east of Hongcheng, a little north of Lijiaao, what is that place?"

The Lin Wei sisters ignored Li Huayong at all, because this was clearly marked on the map, that place was Jingdezhen. It is Jingdezhen, the well-known "porcelain capital" of China and even the whole world!

Li Huayong turned around and smiled at the Lin Wei sisters: "I don't need to say more, right? Because there is this place in Nanjiang Province, this is my first reason." ”

Needless to say, for the evaluation report made by Zhong Zhiwen and them, although Li Huayong admitted their professionalism and objectivity that day, he thought that the report was not comprehensive. Because in that report, only some "tangible" things were considered, and the "intangible" factors were not taken into account.

Li Huayong has always believed that the development of the ceramic industry in Nanjiang Province actually has a natural advantage, and the reason is that there is no other reason because the "porcelain capital" is in this place, which is a brand and an intangible asset. It's an intangible asset that has taken thousands of years to accumulate, and it's a unique brand.

For an industry, this intangible asset is actually a priceless treasure. Of course, the premise is that you should make good use of this priceless treasure as a business. In real history, Li Huayong thought that his hometown did not make good use of this priceless treasure, and now, Li Huayong is ready to try, which is one of the reasons for Li Huayong's willfulness.

"This is not enough reason, after all, the transformation of intangible assets is not so easy, do you have any other reasons besides this one?"

Li Huayong smiled at Lin Wei, for such a "realistic" girlfriend, Li Huayong is now more and more satisfied.

"Hehe, of course there is, otherwise how dare I show my ugliness in front of the two Miss Lin. I admit that it is very difficult for intangible assets to be transformed into real interests, and I also admit that the investment environment in my hometown is not good, and if you invest in building factories in that place, there is a lot of pressure on production costs and logistics costs, but you two have thought about it, in fact, there is a simple and effective way to increase profits for the production of this building tile. ”

"Huh, what's that?"

Li Huayong gave a hint: "Sister Orchid said that day, our soil there is very good.......

"Oh, it turns out that you want to take the high-end route, this is a good idea, but Ah Yong, I tell you, your idea is probably a bit taken for granted, industrial porcelain is different from traditional ceramics, not that you can produce high-end tiles with good soil quality. ”

It must be admitted that Lin Wei's words are very reasonable, and they are also consistent with today's reality. Take Jingdezhen as an example, although its name of "porcelain capital" is well known all over the world, but its fame is mainly concentrated in handicrafts, in other words, the greatest value of Jingdezhen porcelain is actually mostly concentrated in that group of handicraft masters.

However, in terms of industrial porcelain, it currently occupies the high-end segment in the international market, ranking first in Italian ceramics and second in Japanese ceramics.

However, Li Huayong is obviously aware of this problem:

"Then Lotus, let me tell you, if I am sure that I can produce high-end porcelain, then do you think I can be willful?"

Hearing this, the Lin Wei sisters both laughed:

"Come on, if your solution sounds really reliable, then, then allow you to be willful for once. ”
