Chapter 526: Representatives of the Two Sessions
……
"World Island is really an enticing project. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Today, however, almost all of the 300 islands have only completed the construction of the foundations. Moreover, due to the erosion of the sea, all the islands are slowly sinking. This also means that the entire project has to be reinforced, or even rebuilt. Counting the above-ground buildings in the later stage, I am afraid that the entire project will not be able to be won without an investment of four or five billion US dollars! I am afraid that not many people are willing to bear such a high investment! Especially after the economic crisis of '09!"
Hamdan can't deny this kind of difficulty, which is almost universally known on the table.
"Wang, I like a sentence that is often used in successology: losers only see difficulties that cannot be overcome, while successful people can always see the opportunities hidden behind difficulties... Although the World Island is now facing many difficulties, they are not insurmountable. Moreover, once the World Island is completed, the super-rich all over the world will want to own a villa with a sea view of their own. And this can be seen from the 70% pre-sale of World Island today!"
Wang Zheng nodded. Of course, he knows the lucrative lucrative behind this huge property project, which can be called the most dazzling property project of the first decade of the 21st century.
"Hamdan, you are a good lobbyist. The future prospects of the World Island are indeed attractive, but it is still a matter of funding, and I can't come up with 5 billion or even more dollars!
Hamdan, disappointed in his heart, once again had a glimmer of hope.
"But we are friends at first sight, so if you give me half a year, I would like to consider investing in World Island. Of course, if I have enough assets to support this project!"
There was a faint excitement in Hamdan's eyes, "From now on, half a year from now?"
"No, it only needs to be until the end of June!"
"No problem, I promise you!"
"Don't be in a hurry to say yes yet! If I really invest in the 'World Island', there are a few conditions I hope you can meet!"
"You say!"
Wang Zheng nodded his head, "I've never liked this person, and someone is pointing fingers at any of my careers." Therefore, if I invest in the 'World Island', all the islands purchased by the real estate company will be recovered, except for the islands purchased by private individuals. The shipping and air transportation of World Island are also all operated by my company. Moreover, My Wharf Realty will jointly own the property ownership of World Island with Nakhir based on the proportion of investment in the whole project. ”
"Yes, as long as you're willing to invest, that's fine!" Hamdan said quickly.
Wang Zheng smiled, "I'll give you the answer in half a year!"
"Then I'm looking forward to it!"
The matter of the World Island saw a breakthrough in Wang Zheng's place, which made Hamdan obviously much more interested in the next chat. Moreover, the distance between them has also been narrowed invisibly.
……
"Boss, are you really planning to invest in Dubai World Island?"
On the way back to the Yingke Valley Villa after saying goodbye to Hamdan, Wang Qian asked.
Although the investment of $5 billion is a lot, there is nearly four years to buffer, and 1.2 billion a year is not an unbearable amount for us. ”
Wang Qian nodded, "But this project is too risky, and Dubai's prosperity is like a castle built on the sand, once Dubai's economy collapses, the world island will become a castle in the air!"
"Of course there is a risk, and it is really significant. But from the point of view of Dubai's survival from the subprime mortgage crisis of '09 to the present, Dubai's economy is still sustainable!
"The boss wants to use this to befriend the Dubai royal family?"
"This is just one of them! In fact, behind the Dubai royal family are the Abu Dhabi royal family, as well as the royal families of the Middle East!"
"So, the boss has a crush on oil in the Middle East?"
"No! Now that the pattern of the world's oil industry is largely set, it will be very difficult for us to get involved. Moreover, now that the price of oil is falling around the world, I am not interested in participating in it yet!"
"What about you...?" Wang Qian said with a puzzled expression.
Wang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "I have taken a fancy to the money in the pockets of these local tyrants in the Middle East! The world's top ten sovereign funds, the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia, which ranks second, has a capital of $675.8 billion. The third-ranked Abu Dhabi sovereign fund has $627 billion in assets. Kuwait's sovereign wealth fund, which ranks sixth, has $368 billion! The sum of the three is more than $1.6 trillion! As long as one-tenth of such a huge amount of money is used by us, then we will not have to go to great lengths to convince the major banks when we carry out corporate mergers and acquisitions in the future!"
"I'm afraid that these Middle Eastern tyrants are as difficult to deal with as banks!" Wang Qian frowned.
"No, you're wrong!"
"Wrong?"
Wang Zheng nodded, "If we want to lend a huge amount of money from the bank, we must not only get through the CEO of the bank, but also the authorization of the board of directors." There are dozens, if not more, of them! But sovereign funds, especially in the Middle East, are different!"
"Monarchy?" Wang Qian suddenly said.
"That's right!" Wang Zheng nodded with a smile, "With the resources we have in our hands, it is easy to win the favor and trust of a king. As long as we can get a reasonable mortgage, it will be much easier to get a loan, and we can get a relatively low interest rate!"
"Boss wise!"
Wang Zheng waved his hand, "Don't make a fool of yourself, let's go, I've had lunch, and I'm going to see the Wang family's uncle and nephew in the afternoon." If nothing else, it's another money-paying deal!"
"Didn't you decide to spend money a long time ago?" said Wang Qian.
"Haha! You're right. I really hope that the people of the Wang family will not drop their jaws when they hear about our huge plan again!" Wang Zheng laughed.
"Jingle bell...!"
As soon as his laughter fell, he heard the mobile phone ringing in his pocket.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
"Where are you?" Wang Jianguo's tone looked very anxious.
"I've arrived at the valley, I'll be home soon!Is something happening?"
"Hurry back, someone from the province is coming!"
"Are you looking for me?"
"Of course, why am I in such a hurry to call you if I don't look for you. Come back soon, Secretary Zhen is here in person!" When he said the back, Wang Jianguo lowered his voice, and his words revealed a little caution.
"Zhen Guoqun is here!" Wang Zheng's heart moved, "Dad, I know." I'll go back immediately!"
"Then I'll hang up first, hurry up!"
"Hmm!"
After hanging up the phone, after a thought flashed in his eyes, Wang Zheng greeted Wang Qian and strode towards the depths of the Yingke Valley. A distance of more than a kilometer, a few minutes passed.
"Sure enough, it's him!"
As soon as he walked into the door, Wang Zheng saw several familiar figures wearing black suits sitting in the living room greeting Wang Jianguo.
Wang Zheng's footsteps attracted the attention of everyone in the living room.
"Wang Zheng, come here!"
Walking over, after nodding to his father first, Wang Zheng stretched out his right hand to Zhen Guoqun, who was standing among everyone, although he was over half a hundred years old, but he looked like a middle-aged man.
"Secretary Zhen, welcome to our house!"
Seeing this young man who is more calm and wise than last year, and the amazing achievements made by the other party, Zhen Guoqun immediately had the idea of 'three days of farewell, and treat each other with admiration'.
"I took the liberty to visit, and I didn't bring any gifts, I hope Xiao Wang, you don't dislike it!"
"Secretary Zhen is too polite. You can come, our Wang family is full of brilliance!" Wang Jianguo hurriedly said on the side.
Wang Jianguo, who is in the officialdom, undoubtedly has a deeper awe of Zhen Guoqun, who is the leader of the provincial party committee, than Wang Zheng!
"Secretary Zhen, please sit down!" Wang Zheng said calmly and politely.
"Yes, everyone sit down and say!" Wang Jianguo also hurriedly said.
Several people nodded and sat down.
"Wang Zheng, this time I came mainly to convey to you the instructions of the central and provincial authorities?"
"Secretary Zhen, I am a little flattered by what you said, when did I have such a big influence?"
As soon as his words fell, he was secretly pulled by Wang Jianguo next to him. Looking at the 'serious' eyes passed by his father, although Wang Zheng understood, he didn't think so. Now he has the power and status to talk on an equal footing in front of Zhen Guoqun.
"Your Wharf Holdings is a multinational enterprise, how can the central government not see it?" After smiling, he took out a few documents from the secretary next to him and handed them to Wang Zheng.
"This is a document issued by the central authorities to supplement your appointment as a member of the Central Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a deputy to the National People's Congress; there is also a document issued by the province to supplement your appointment as a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress.
Wang Zheng nodded and took over a few documents.
Looking at the above provisions, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Last year, he also hoped that he could become a member of the Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, mix up a political identity, and add a point of security to his property security. But now that he has won Wharf and East West Bank and expanded his influence into the world, he has little desire for this layer of political security.
One is because the power of the deputies to the two sessions is very limited, and Wang Zheng is a little disdainful. On the other hand, because of the rapid expansion of his career territory, the sense of security brought to him has far exceeded the sense of security brought by the name of the representative of the two sessions.
However, even so, Wang Zheng did not refuse these two identities, and the icing on the cake is better than nothing.
Therefore, Wang Zheng happily signed the form and handed it to the provincial party committee staff next to him.
"Wang Zheng, next month is the time for the two sessions, don't forget to attend then!"
"Yes!"
"Okay, then we won't stay longer!"
Zhen Guoqun stood up.
"Secretary Zhen, it's going to be noon, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving!"
"I won't be able to eat, I will go to visit Elder Wang in a while! I will rush back to the province for a meeting in the afternoon, so I won't stay long!"
Sending Zhen Guoqun to the door and watching his back go away, Wang Jianguo said with a little emotion: "Secretary Zhen is really approachable!"
Wang Zheng pursed his lips, he didn't think Zhen Guoqun was approachable. In fact, if it weren't for Wang Lao being here, and his career had exploded recently, Zhen Guoqun would definitely not have rushed to his home in person in order to give himself the status of a representative of the two sessions.
"Xiao Zheng, are you a representative of the two sessions now?"
After Wang Jianguo's attention returned to his son, he was still a little surprised by the rapid change in his identity. He has been in officialdom all his life, and now he is only a department-level cadre with limited power. Not to mention the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, even the Provincial People's Congress and the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, he is also far behind!
"Dad, don't take these two identities too seriously. The political power is not as big as you, the executive deputy county leader!"
"What nonsense, the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) are the national power organs that can determine the country's major policies, and every place is very precious, don't take it seriously!"
Wang Jianguo's online platform gave Wang Zheng a bit of a headache. The differences in era, identity and occupation make the father and son have completely different concepts, commonly known as the generation gap.
And Wang Zheng didn't try to change his son thanklessly, "Dad, why didn't you see my mother and Yixue?"
