The main role of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission of Guangdong Province is to attract investment, publicize policies and provide services to manufacturers. Of course, in order to deal with overseas manufacturers, the staff of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission (VETEC) routinely invite guests to dinner and drink.

I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

At the wine table, the money for entertaining overseas manufacturers in the 80s would not exceed a few hundred yuan at most. In fact, if you eat and drink a few more times and spend tens of millions of hospitality expenses to attract millions of investments, it is a very good deal!

The officials of the Guangdong Provincial Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission can be regarded as the first batch of officials to be "tested by alcohol" since China's reform and opening up.

Although, the wages and benefits of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission are not necessarily higher than those of other posts. However, due to the needs of their work, officials of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission go in and out of high-end hotels, and all they entertain is fine wine and delicacies. With such a standard of living, the "four modernizations" have been realized ahead of schedule!

However, Zhang Shaojie refused the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission's offer of a treat, and said with a smile: "Your funds should be kept for entertaining other foreign businessmen." I decided to invest in the country, and I don't need you to pay for formalism! On the contrary, I should ask you to be, you are the parents of the official, and if my factory is in trouble in the future, please also ask the leaders to take care of it. ”

Zhang Shaojie's style undoubtedly attracted everyone's favor. The officials of this era were not like later, when they had the opportunity to take advantage of the public, so they were desperately extravagant and wasteful.

On the contrary, quite a number of officials are still a little idealistic and hope to work hard to do a good job and contribute to the motherland's economic construction. The officials of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission are also quite pleased that they can save public funds and successfully attract investment.

Under Zhang Shaojie's banquet.

At the banquet arranged by the Guangzhou Hotel, the group staggered and drank and talked freely.

There is a 30-year-old young man, in front of Zhang Shaojie, who seems to be more active, constantly expressing himself, giving advice to Zhang Shaojie, and talking freely about domestic investment strategies.

Zhang Shaojie felt that he was familiar, so he asked his name.

When asked, Zhang Shaojie was surprised.

This unattractive young man is actually the founder of Vanke - Wang Shi!

"Mr. Wang, you really have a lot of ideas!" Zhang Shaojie praised.

"Huh!" After Wang Shi was praised by a big boss like Zhang Shaojie, he couldn't help but be very proud.

At the wine table, Zhang Shaojie briefly talked to everyone about the current situation of the TV game console industry and the future development trend!

Zhang Shaojie first recounted the legendary experience of Atari - in the early 70s, Atari only started with a cost of 500 dollars, but it took 10 years to develop. At this time, Atari has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and its annual profit has exceeded 100 million!

Although Atari is the originator of the video game industry, its technology is not very advanced.

Zhang Shaojie believes that Atari is only the initiator of this market, but it is not necessarily the ultimate success.

Now Europe and the United States say that the video game market is still in the ascendant, if Xiaobawang can seize the market opportunity and become bigger and stronger.

In the future, it will even be able to export billions of dollars of products every year, in addition to the cost of imported materials, and can give Guangdong Province a net foreign exchange of hundreds of millions of dollars every year

When Shi Wenhu heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. This project is very in line with the national policy, which not only has technical content, but also focuses on exporting foreign exchange! As long as this project can be carried out, the provincial government will give a lot of preferential policies, of course, if the export can be smooth, the relevant policy subsidies are also indispensable! ”

In the early years of reform and opening up, China's consumer electronics market was not active. Even for a TV, many families often have to pay a year's salary to afford it.

Xiaobawang game console, in China in the early 80s, was destined to be an expensive luxury, at most in the first-tier cities of wealthy families, with a certain market.

Therefore, Zhang Shaojie invested in setting up factories in China, mainly for the purpose of exporting to overseas markets. Europe, the United States, and the United States are the main markets for home game consoles, even if it is the Asian tigers such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea at this time, the potential of the consumer electronics market is also very considerable.

It was only in the early 90s that products like Xiaobawang game consoles entered ordinary Chinese families. At that time, with the gradual increase in the consumption power of ordinary families in China, the consumer electronics market such as TVs, VCDs, DVDs, and game consoles gradually ushered in a blowout!

Zhang Shaojie frankly said that the "Xiaobawang Game Machine" was only produced in Chinese mainland, mainly to help the country "earn foreign exchange through exports," so it won the favor of officials of the Guangdong Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission.

In the early years of reform and opening up, the importance of "earning foreign exchange through exports" exceeded the attraction of foreign exchange itself. Even, sometimes, the purpose of attracting investment, in addition to obtaining fiscal taxes and solving employment problems, the more important factor is to "earn foreign exchange through exports"!

After Nixon's visit to China in the 70s, in order to win over China and isolate the Soviet Union, the economic blockade policy on China came to an end. Some less sophisticated technologies and equipment have begun to be allowed to be exported to China.

In the early 80s, when China felt that its scientific and technological level was "50 years behind" or "100 years behind" that of developed countries, every dollar of technology and equipment imported would have an immediate effect on improving its domestic technological level.

Foreign exchange resources are regarded as strategic resources by China at this time, so for any enterprise that can export to earn foreign exchange, great policy encouragement and support are given!

Young Wang Shi, it is rare to see Zhang Shaojie as young and full of visionary investors.

Compared with Zhang Shaojie, the quality of the large number of Hong Kong and Macao investors that Wang Shi has received in recent years is not much better than that of the nouveau riche in Chinese mainland.

Of course, the older generation of entrepreneurs such as Fok Yingdong, Li Ka-shing, and Bao Yugang have very high eyesight and quality. However, these big figures are all provincial governors and provincial party secretaries who accompany and sit together, and it is not the turn of Wang Shi, a young man, to serve.

It is precisely because of Wang Shi's admiration and reverence for Zhang Shaojie's achievements that he is the most active at the wine table.

Zhang Shaojie also praised again and again: "Mr. Wang, you have extraordinary knowledge, and you will not be in the pool in the future!" ”

For Zhang Shaojie's praise, Wang Shi couldn't help but be very proud, and felt that his vanity had been greatly satisfied.

A table of wine was gone.

In this era, there were no red light districts, saunas, and escort ladies and other romantic battles.

Therefore, the group dispersed.

Shi Wenhu took the leader's special car and went to the provincial party committee to ask for instructions on the work.

And there are some section chiefs left, and some ordinary veteran civil servants, these people are very dissatisfied with Wang Shi, who is in the limelight at the banquet!

"How did you do it, the wine table keeps stealing the limelight, there are so many section chief-level leaders in it, and Director Shi is present, which is your turn Wang Shi's performance? Think about your usual situation, does it breed a feeling of pride and complacency? 'Shoot the first bird' isn't it? Be careful! A section chief seriously criticized Wang Shi.

In the officialdom, it is popular to talk about seniority, so can you tolerate such a young man stealing the limelight in front of the leader?

After being in the limelight, Wang Shi, who was originally a little complacent, began to be reprimanded by the leader, and regretted the blind self-expression just now.

It was also because of today's episode that Wang Shi began to keep his head down. A small amount of energy is spent on work, and a lot of energy is spent on personal hobbies after work, and it begins to appear very low-key in the unit, and no longer appears to be in the limelight.

The constant suppression of the surname by the system, coupled with the connections laid down by the work of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, made Wang Shi want to do his own business more and more, which also laid the groundwork for Wang Shi to establish Vanke later

Vanke was originally affiliated with state-owned enterprises and engaged in import and export trade. However, most of the interests were taken away by the leading units many times, so Wang Shi tried the shareholding system reform and took the control of Vanke back into his own hands.

In addition, at the end of the 80s, Vanke also gradually developed from a trading company of inverted commodities to a real estate company. In the early 90s, Vanke became the first five stocks in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange stock market with several companies such as Jintian, Yuanye, Chubb, and Shenzhen Development.

———————————— "Shaojie, it's rare to see you compliment people so much, today's Wang Shi, is it really a great talent?" Ma Rongcheng suddenly asked after the banquet.

Zhang Shaojie nodded and said: "It is indeed a talent, in the future, if there is an opportunity to cooperate, he may be pulled." However, at most, it is cooperation, and his career, and mine, are 108,000 miles away, and I don't plan to win him over to work for me! ”

"Oh!"

Ma Rongcheng knows that Zhang Shaojie is indeed unique in looking at people's kung fu. Most of the people who are favored by Zhang Shaojie have shown good achievements.

In May, Zhang Shaojie signed a bunch of investment agreements with the political axe of Guangdong Province and the political axe of Guangzhou City in Guangzhou.

On the agreement, Zhang Shaojie represented "Hong Kong Xiaobawang" with 4 million Hong Kong dollars and 9.59 million yuan in assets to register and establish "Guangdong Xiaobawang Game Co., Ltd." in Guangzhou.

Hong Kong Xiaobawang, as the controlling party, owns 60% of the shares of Guangdong Xiaobawang.

The Guangzhou Municipal Axe is to invest a 30,000-square-meter abandoned factory building and 5,000 acres of land resources that have achieved three links and one level, and convert them into 40% of the shares of Guangdong Xiaobawang Game Co., Ltd.

Both sides are happy with this agreement.

Zhang Shaojie naturally knows that the 5,000 acres of land in Guangzhou, if placed in 30 years, even if it is undeveloped land, is worth at least 50 billion!

The political axe of Guangdong Province feels that 5,000 acres of land is just a drop in the bucket for Guangzhou City. If these land resources can be exchanged for a large export earner, it will be a great advantage.

Both parties feel that the transaction is cost-effective, so the establishment of "Guangdong Xiaobawang" has obviously become a win-win cooperation!
