Volume 12 The Wave Stops the Flying Boat Section 58 A Trip to Hong Kong

Lu Weimin didn't expect that the situation of the Lin family would attract so much attention from Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, and there was almost no chance for Lu Weimin to explain.

Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong's attitude on this issue was unusually resolute and unanimous, that is, they asked Lu Weimin to immediately complete the passport formalities, quickly fly to Hong Kong, meet with the members of the Lin family and their partner families, and extend the warmest and most sincere invitation to these Chinese families who had just been frightened by the May riots in Indonesia, and introduce to them the development of Songzhou and welcome them to invest in Songzhou.

Lu Weimin's intention of the West Song Expressway and Songyi Expressway, Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong even felt that it was a little uneconomical, after all, the West Song Expressway, the Songyi Expressway, Songzhou can only account for one of the sections, unless the company with these two expressways as the target can choose the place of registration in Songzhou, even then, because the West Song Expressway and the Songyi Expressway are across the two cities, so in the tax collection and management payment are bound to be divided into their respective counties, districts and prefectures and city tax departments, which obviously makes Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong feel a little lost。

Why did Songzhou work hard to bring such an investment, but in the end it was three to share the benefits, at this point Lu Weimin is also very speechless, the eight characters have not been skimmed, Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong are already calculating this, and they don't want to think about it, whether it is the West Song Expressway or the Songyi Expressway, not to mention whether the province agrees or not, even if it really agrees, it can bring foreign capital into the construction, and when it is completed and put into operation, it will be at least two or three years later, Tong Yunsong is not easy to say, but Shang Quanzhi will definitely not be in Songzhou, is it necessary to worry about this?

In the view of Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, if a considerable part of the Chinese capital withdrawn from Indonesia can be invested in Songzhou, no matter which industry they are engaged in, it will be a great good news for Songzhou. And Songzhou is now too eager to get this kind of investment.

Lu Weimin very implicitly reminded Shang Tong and the two that once the West Song Expressway and Songyi Expressway are completed, it will not only bring the income and taxes generated by the operation of the expressway itself, but more importantly, it can establish the great advantage of Songzhou as the province's water and land transportation hub node, and the establishment of this advantage will bring lasting impetus to the sustainable development of Songzhou's economy, and also make Songzhou's advantages in public infrastructure facilities more obvious, and will bring unimaginable promotion to the development of Songzhou's primary, secondary and tertiary industries in the future.

Shang Tong and the others finally accepted Lu Weimin's opinion, but they urged it more tightly and asked Lu Weimin to lead the team to Hong Kong as soon as possible, especially in terms of getting Fengzhou, there seemed to be some attempts in this regard. This made Shang Tong and the others feel even more nervous, no one could tolerate this piece of fat slipping out of their hands, and if anyone made a mistake on this issue, it would be a sinner in Songzhou.

Lu Weimin also wanted to give Shang Tong and the two vaccinations, although a considerable amount of Chinese capital in Indonesia has been transferred, but this is private capital after all, when inspecting the direction of capital investment, no matter how grateful they are to themselves, it is impossible to ignore their own interests. Assuming that they can really attract these overseas Chinese investors on the issue of the West Song Expressway and the Songyi Expressway, then they will also bargain with the provinces and cities on some policy conditions, and they cannot be expected to make generous concessions on this point, and capitalists are capitalists. The purpose of capital is to make profits, otherwise even if they save their lives, they will not agree.

At this point, Shang Tong and the others are very open-minded, for them. As long as it can attract foreign investment, it will be a great success, as far as the preferential policies are concerned. Where and where do you not rely on this hand to attract investment now?

For local party committees and governments, the most important thing is to land projects, drive investment, and generate GDP.

Anyway, as soon as the project lands, the initiative is in the hands of the local government, can you still move out, of course, the government is not trying to blackmail anyone, but many follow-up problems can be solved through negotiation, the key is to be able to attract to settle down.

Lu Weimin took Duan Houbai, Gu Ziming, Lu Mingshan, director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Ji Chengxiang, general manager of the Municipal Communications Construction and Development Division, and several people from the Transportation Bureau and the Municipal Communications Construction and Development Department to fly to Hong Kong, staying in Hong Kong for a week, and were also warmly welcomed by the Lin family and several Chinese families of their partners, as well as Lin Hexiang, who had arrived in Hong Kong earlier.

In Hong Kong, Duan Houbai and Gu Ziming, Lu Mingshan, and Ji Chengxiang really appreciated Lu Weimin's demeanor, in the face of these Chinese billionaires from hundreds of millions of dollars, Lu Weimin swayed freely, and was not affected by these people's identities at all, but these gold owners in their minds were all extremely enthusiastic about Lu Weimin, and even their entourage was treated with a considerable level of hospitality, which made them feel a little flattered.

In addition to meeting with several core members of the Lin family and communicating with each other, the Lin family also took the initiative to bring the Li family, who had close business contacts with the Lin family. Lu Weimin also introduced to these overseas Chinese businessmen the economic development of Changjiang Province in recent years, especially the situation in Songzhou, and introduced to these people the intention that the two expressway projects of West Song Expressway and Songyi Expressway may be launched in the near future to attract investment.

After learning of Lu Weimin's intention to come to Hong Kong this time, the Lin family took the initiative to make a match, and introduced Lu Weimin and his party to a number of chaebol families who already had some investment projects in infrastructure real estate and infrastructure in the mainland, such as the Hu family of the Hehe Group and the Zheng family of Xinshijie Investment, and took the trouble to introduce how Lu Weimin gave them early warning before the May riots, so that they could avoid huge losses of people and property.

Although I didn't get a clear answer from these chaebol families, it was a small gain, at least let these Hong Kong chaebol families know that there is a Songzhou City in Changjiang Province on the mainland, and there is also a Lu Weimin.

For the development of Changjiang, the Lin family should say that there is still some interest, after all, Fengxiang Pharmaceutical and Tianhu Biotechnology are there, which are all introduced by Lu Weimin with one hand and one foot, and the benefits are considerable, but the industry needs to choose industrial projects, and the market risk is relatively high, and you need to see the opportunity to enter.

For the Lin family, Indonesia has become a sad place, at least before the current Indonesian political pattern has not changed much, they dare not easily return to Indonesia to develop, on the contrary, the thriving atmosphere of Chinese mainland can be seen by everyone, the only worry is that they are not familiar with the mainland's system and policies, and the emergence of Lu Weimin just makes up for this.

The highway project proposed by Lu Weimin was of great interest to the Lin family.

The Chinese family in Southeast Asia has always had a close relationship with the Chinese chaebols in Hong Kong, and many of the chaebols in Hong Kong have migrated from Southeast Asia, and the Lin family itself has some assets and properties in Hong Kong, and now the risk in Indonesia has increased sharply, and the assets will naturally be transferred to the safest place.

In order to ensure the safety of funds and ensure a certain return, the expressway project proposed by Lu Weimin is undoubtedly the best choice.

From the point of view of the rate of return, the highway project is not high, and the payback time is long, generally more than ten years, but it is better than stability, for the Lin family, now they need the most is to ensure the safety of funds and a stable return on investment, but the long payback time is not a problem.

It's just that the investment amount of both the West Song Expressway and the Songyi Expressway is quite large, and the investment of billions at every turn, even if it can be loaned through syndication, the start-up capital of the project is not a small amount, converted into US dollars, it is also a hundred million counts, not to mention that although the Lin family is very interested, they have not been involved in similar industries in the mainland before, but fortunately, there are already such as Hehe Group, Xinshijie, Cheung Kong, Wharf and other large chaebols have tested the waters on the mainland, which can also be used as a reference, so the Lin family agreed to wait until they settle here, and they will invite several partner families to come together to inspect the investment environment in Changjiang and Songzhou.

During this period of time in Hong Kong, Lu Weimin has also been paying attention to the flood control situation on this side of the Changjiang River.

In late July, the water levels of several major water systems in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River skyrocketed, especially the water levels of Dongting Lake and Lize Lake reached new highs, and the water level remained high, and the flood control situation in Songzhou suddenly became tense, but Lu Weimin learned from Shen Junhuai that the city still focused on flood control at Bali Lake and Jiugong Lake and on the line of Lize Lake in Zekou County, and did not pay enough attention to the flood control in the urban sandbar and Songcheng line, which Lu Weimin was most worried about.

In August, the upper reaches of Hubei Province continued to rain, and the Shahe River and the upper reaches of the Song River in the jurisdiction of Songzhou are located in Xiliang and Yishan are also continuous heavy rain, which greatly increased the water of the Shahe River and the Song River, and there was a huge flood peak in the upper reaches of the Shahe River and the Song River, resulting in a dam in the Shahe section of the urban area being emptied by floods, almost causing the embankment to burst, which also made the Songzhou side shift its attention to the Shahe River and the Song River embankment, but did not pay enough attention to the flood prevention and rescue of the main stream of the Yangtze River in the urban area.

Lu Weimin is almost on pins and needles in Hong Kong, but a lot of work here can't be put on hold, so he is almost non-stop, and when the affairs here are almost handled, he immediately buys a plane ticket and flies to Changzhou.
