Zhang Shaojie often looks at Shenzhen across the river with awe. This emerging city is developing rapidly, and the speed of one floor in three days and Shenzhen has begun to be staged continuously. This kind of efficiency and speed can be found in Hong Kong around the 70s.

Since Hong Kong fell into an economic crisis in 81 years, the local unemployment rate is high, and for the first time, a large number of Hong Kong young people have gone to Shenzhen to find jobs.

Shenzhen needs engineers, skilled workers who are proficient in building high-rise buildings, transport drivers who can drive cars, and financial talents who can attract investment from Hong Kong

All kinds of job advertisements are set up in Hong Kong - go to Shenzhen!

A Hong Kong taxi driver resolutely quit his position with a monthly salary of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars and went to Shenzhen to become a truck driver.

The owner of a small shop in Hong Kong, because he was losing money, closed his shop, and went to Shenzhen with 50,000 yuan to set up a joint venture factory with the political axe of the Special Administrative Region. The land and factories are incredibly cheap, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars as foreign exchange coupons, exchanged for the machinery of the garment factory, recruited dozens of workers, imported fabrics, needles and threads from Hong Kong, and after the processing was completed, they were sold to all over the world through Hong Kong's foreign trade companies, and they quickly became millionaires.

These mythical stories of going to Shenzhen to start a business are actually more and more in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's capital is increasingly discovering that Shenzhen, which is full of vitality, seems to be an effective means to solve Hong Kong's current economic difficulties

Even Li Ka-shing and Bao Yugang frequently go to Shenzhen and other places to look for investment opportunities.

In fact, Zhang Shaojie has always had the idea of investing in Shenzhen. Vanke, Shenzhen Development, Ping An Insurance Company, in fact, Zhang Shaojie is very interested in investment

Zhang Shaojie is looking at Shenzhen from afar, imagining.

In December, Mr. Ba Jin, the old man of Zhang Shaojie's New Year's Eve, came to Hong Kong again. Ba Jin came this time, in addition to coming to Hong Kong to settle the remuneration for several of his TV dramas in his personal capacity, there are also some remunerations for publishing.

In addition to going to Hong Kong to settle the remuneration, Ba Jin also brought some comrades working in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.

"This is Comrade Yuan Geng, director of Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone!" Ba Jin pointed to a lean old man and smiled.

"Hello Mr. Yuan, I've heard of your name!" Zhang Shaojie smiled.

Yuan Geng was stunned; "A person like me who is not known has also spread his reputation to Hong Kong?"

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "How can you be regarded as a nominee, the director of Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone, the famous Boss Yuan, and the chairman of China Merchants." A series of prominent names, Hong Kong media also often mention you! ”

Yuan Geng was born in 1917, and when he was young, he did many military and intelligence-related positions and made a lot of meritorious achievements. However, the most brilliant achievement of his life was to promote the establishment of Shenzhen Shekou Industrial Zone, and to make full use of the capital accumulated by China Merchants Hong Kong in Hong Kong for many years for the development of Shenzhen.

Since Yuan Geng is both the chairman of China Merchants and the director of Shekou Industrial Zone. This dual career as both an official and a businessman made him controversial. However, in terms of ability, among the symbols of reform and opening up, Yuan Geng is a leader with outstanding ability!

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, the capital of China Merchants in Hong Kong was only about 100 million yuan. This 100 million yuan of assets is undoubtedly unworthy of the name for China Merchants Bureau, which is a "first national enterprise".

However, after Yuan Geng took over this state-owned enterprise with only 100 million capital, he continued to use the capital of China Merchants to develop in Shekou Industrial Zone, Shenzhen. In the early 80s, China Merchants was dying. In the 21st century, China Merchants is a giant that controls China Merchants Bank, China Merchants Real Estate, China Merchants Shipping, China Merchants Securities and other super large state-owned enterprises, and controls hundreds of billions of assets.

In the process of developing the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Yuan Geng put forward slogans such as "time is money, efficiency is life". In this era, the entire Shekou Industrial Zone boldly talked about money and efficiency, and continuously achieved amazing economic results, making a good demonstration effect for reform and opening up.

"If Shenzhen wants to develop well, it is not enough to learn from Hong Kong's experience. Because Hong Kong is only a very low-end part of the world's industrial chain! Zhang Shaojie said frankly, "Hong Kong is basically a blank in the more promising semiconductor industry, electronics industry, software industry, biopharmaceutical, and high-end manufacturing." Moreover, in terms of technical level, there is no essential difference between Hong Kong and the mainland, and the difference is only that Hong Kong businessmen are more eager to make money and make profits. However, in the interior of the country, where the planned economy has been practiced for many years, the leaders and workers have lost the revolutionary fervor of the past, and there is no material reward and stimulus, so they will inevitably become lazy and slack, and their efficiency will gradually become lower! ”

Yuan Geng agreed: "That's the reason, now in many state-owned enterprises, workers are often listless when they are working. As soon as I get off work, when I go to the township enterprise to do private work, or do a little business, I am in good spirits! The same workers, when eating a big pot of rice, always want to be lazy and take advantage of the collective. When he makes extra money, he quickly becomes vigorous. The Shekou Industrial Zone is not engaged in a public-owned economy, but a market economy. If you work more, you will be paid, if you do less, you will get less, and if you don't do well, you will be dismissed. Under such a mechanism, it also fully mobilizes the efficiency of workers! ”

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, many literary and artistic workers were full of passion and vitality, and their works were able to move people's hearts and be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. However, the literary and artistic system has been maintained until now, and a small circle has been formed, and it is difficult to write works that the masses like to see! Ba Jin also laughed.

"So what is Boss Yuan's purpose in looking for me?" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.

Because Yuan Geng is the chairman of China Merchants, although he only exercises the legal person power of China Merchants on behalf of the central government, he does not own the slightest stake in China Merchants. However, during Yuan Geng's tenure, whether it is China Merchants or Shekou Industrial Zone, he basically has the final say. was able to apply from the central government to give him power from below, and Yuan Geng won it. In this era, some people call Yuan Geng Boss Yuan, but he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is not afraid of anything.

"My main purpose is to hope that Xiaobawang Enterprise will also open a processing plant in Shekou Industrial Zone, Shenzhen!" Yuan Geng said, "Compared with Guangzhou's environment, Shenzhen is more free and dynamic!" Moreover, the wharf and factory have been built in Shekou Industrial Zone, and after Xiaobawang arrives in Shenzhen, it only needs to invest capital and equipment to be able to put into production quickly."

Zhang Shaojie said in a deep voice: "A large area of the factory area in Guangzhou has not yet been developed. Even if a large factory of 50,000 or 60,000 people is built in the future, it will be able to accommodate it. Building a similar factory in Shekou again is a bit suspicious of duplicate construction."

Yuan Geng was a little disappointed and said: "If Zhang Shaojie has any other projects, it's okay."

"Game consoles don't do it, what about computers?" Zhang Shaojie asked.
