Chapter 343: Tang Bao's Answer
Domestic, the old house of the Tang family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dad, what's going on with the Kyoto Evening News article?" On the surface, the article in the Kyoto Evening News seemed to encourage and call on Tang Bao to return to China to invest, but from another angle, it was not a secret criticism and accusation. Sensing that something was wrong, Tang Hui couldn't go to work and immediately went back to the old house.
When I arrived at the old house, I found that Tang Bao's parents Tang Zhengxuan and Zhou Qin, as well as my aunt Tang Min, were there.
"yes, Dad. I often pay attention to domestic news reports about Xiaobao, and they are generally positive and uplifting. But this time public opinion ......," Tang Zhengxuan said suspiciously.
Hum.
The old man snorted coldly and reprimanded, "An ordinary news report, look at what scares you into?" Everyone knows that Xiaobao is self-made in the United States, and it is his freedom to invest wherever he goes, who dares to force it? The state will encourage and guide the return of investment and development, but absolutely no one dares to force it! Xiaobao is naturally good to return to China to invest, even if he doesn't come back, no one dares to accuse the Tang family. ”
The old man's words relieved Tang Zhengxuan, Zhou Qin, Tang Hui and others.
"It seems that this report should have been published privately by a reporter from the Kyoto Evening News." Tang Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and she muttered.
"That's not quite true...... I know that the top level of the central government does not have the intention of doing so. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the local authorities will not secretly come out to make trouble, and if you read the articles of the Kyoto Evening News throughout, you can clearly find that they are trying to guide public opinion and suppress people with power! The old man said calmly.
"Kyoto City Hall?" Zhou Qin asked.
"It's hard to say. Even if it wasn't it, the fact that the article was published in the Kyoto Evening News shows that the Kyoto City Government at least acquiesced! After all, Xiaobao grew up in Kyoto, and the first choice for returning to China to invest will definitely be the city of Kyoto, which he is familiar with. Tang Hui explained.
Thinking that the Kyoto City Government might make small moves in secret, Tang Hui was very unhappy in her heart. Whoever does the trouble can't take the turn of the Kyoto City government. In the past two years, through Fule Supermarket and Tang Dynasty Engineering and Construction Company, Tang Bao's investment in Kyoto has not been 1 billion, but 800 million yuan. Although the ancient city project of the Republic of China has been shelved and has not started, it has acquired those old houses with real money to help the Kyoto City Government solve a big problem.
"After the international sanctions, the already difficult work of attracting investment was even worse, coinciding with Xiaobao making some big moves abroad, shorting the Japanese stock market, acquiring Universal Pictures in the United States, acquiring Warner Bros., and investing in Brazil...... It's an investment that can easily cost tens of billions of dollars. Seeing these news, it would be strange if the officials of the investment promotion bureaus in various places did not have the slightest idea. Tang Zhengxuan said.
"Hmm."
Tang Min hugged Nana, who was asleep, and nodded slightly.
"It's not wrong to pull investment, but this style of acting is too ruthless, and he hasn't considered how bad it will be for Xiaobao. Hmph, don't let me find out who instigated it...... If I find out, I won't invest a dime in it! Tang Hui hated and said.
"Check? Since the other party dares to do it, he must take precautions. To investigate revenge seems to be empty-hearted. The old man said calmly.
Then.
The old man continued, "The way of doing things is not advisable. However, this report is not wrong in saying one thing, the country's economic construction is facing difficulties and needs support! If you don't have the ability, it's just that, since Xiaobao has this ability, then make a little more contribution. If you dare to invest in a country like Brazil, which has the highest inflation rate in the world, no matter how bad the domestic economic environment is, it is stronger than Brazil, what are your concerns? ”
“……”
Tang Zhengxuan and Zhou Qin were silent and didn't dare to say much, although Tang Bao often sent many things to China and kept in touch, but they never asked Tang Bao about his business.
"Dad. Outsiders don't know that you don't know yet? Although Xiaobao did not stay in China, he has a lot of investment projects in China. Tang Hui said.
"Alright, Hui'er, don't get too excited. Dad did not deny that Xiaobao's contribution was not ...... However, Xiaobao's total investment in China in the past two years has not caught up with the investment amount in Brazil for more than ten days, which is also a fact, no wonder some people gossip! Tang Min said.
"Hmph, then why don't you mention what Xiaobao invested? Not to mention anything else, who in China would dare to make a decision on a project to lease 100,000 hectares of wasteland? Tang Hui asked rhetorically.
She helped Tang Bao take care of domestic assets, naturally she has a personal experience, many times, you want to invest in a state-owned factory, because of various concerns, the local government and the leaders of the state-owned factory dare not easily agree. If it is not eye-catching, the local government wants to throw off the burden and desperately sell.
……
Looking at the two sisters who were arguing, the old man couldn't help but stare at him.
"Xiaobao should not have paid attention to the domestic news reports...... Hui'er, you call and ask Xiaobao's opinion? The old man said.
Forehead.
Tang Hui was unhappy in her heart, but when the old man spoke, it was not easy to refuse. The key is that she knows in her heart that refusal doesn't work, if she doesn't fight, the old man can fight himself.
agreed, Tang Hui did not hesitate, and directly got up and hugged the phone in the living room. After pressing the dial key, simply turn on the hands-free speaker.
"Hey!"
The phone was connected, and a woman's voice rang. The old man was stunned, but Tang Zhengxuan, Zhou Qin, and Tang Hui didn't have any surprised expressions, obviously expecting it. They all often contacted Tang Bao and knew that Tang Bao had a female assistant by his side.
"Hello, I'm Tang Hui, and I'm Tang Bao's sister-in-law!" Tang Hui knew that Kate could understand Chinese, and directly identified herself and explained her intentions.
"Wait a minute!"
……
After a whole day of playing, Tang Bao was taking a bath, and suddenly heard Kate shouting outside that it was a domestic call. Tang Bao hurriedly rinsed it and ran out to answer the phone.
Kate said it was a domestic call, and Tang Bao could probably guess who it was. The people who often contact him in China are also his father, mother and sister-in-law.
"Tang Hui, your aunt!" Kate brought her phone, lowered her voice, and said.
Well.
Tang Bao nodded in understanding, and hurriedly took the phone: "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm Tang Bao." It should be eight o'clock in China and I just started to work, why do you have time to call me? ”
"Can't I call you if it's okay?"
"Well, of course not. In the past, when my sister-in-law called, it was always at night. This time, it was changed to the morning, so it's a little strange~! Tang Bao explained.
"By the way, your grandfather, father, mother, and aunt are all here. The phone speaker is also on......" Tang Hui suddenly reminded.
"Huh?! Grandpa, parents, auntie, are you all at home? Tang Bao was extremely surprised, and then immediately realized that something was unusual.
I couldn't help but tighten in my heart, and said hurriedly: "Is there something at home?" ”
"No, everything is fine, don't think about it." Tang Zhengxuan said.
"It has nothing to do with my family, but I contacted you this time mainly because of a news report about you in the Kyoto Evening News. I'll read it to you......" After Tang Hui finished speaking, she directly picked up the newspaper and read it.
The article is more than 1,000 words long, and I read it quickly.
It doesn't sound abnormal, but when you think about it, it feels a little intriguing, not to mention that the old man, parents, aunt, and sister-in-law all gathered together because of this report, which shows that it is not simple.
"There is no doubt that this report is being pushed in the shadows and that the position is questionable. However, you have invested tens of billions of dollars in projects abroad one after another, and it is no wonder that it has caused a lot of red eyes at home. Up to now, the investment projects of millions of dollars are worthy of attention, the investment projects of tens of millions of dollars are the focus, and the investment of more than 100 million dollars is the attention of the whole country, and there are very few ...... Picking out a little bit from your fingers, it may become a sensational investment project across the country, plus your identity background, do you think anyone will be tempted? The old man laughed.
Silent.
Tang Bao was speechless.
Recently, he has made a bit of a move, and it is difficult to keep a low profile. Although the Kyoto Evening News article had the implication of coercing him to return to China to invest, it did not necessarily have malicious intent. They just saw that Tang Bao's wealth was generous, and they wanted to invest a little more and improve their political performance.
Call~~
He understands the feeling. However, Tang Bao was helpless. Domestically, economic reform is still in its infancy, and it is very cautious.
Tang Bao is powerless. He exchanged a billion dollars in China two years ago and kept it for investment, but he didn't use it for two years, which is proof of this. Slightly more important industries are monopolized by state-owned enterprises, and private capital cannot enter. Industries that can be involved in can't absorb too much capital.
"What do you mean?" Tang Bao didn't respond for a long time, and the old man asked. Frankly speaking, the old man has read countless people in his life, but he can't see Tang Bao's grandson clearly. In particular, Tang Bao has accumulated more and more wealth abroad, so much that he is horrified.
I mean?
Tang Bao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and secretly thought, didn't your old man force my sister-in-law to call, didn't you just want me to do what you wanted.
"Grandpa, I am happy to return to China to invest, in fact, the pace of investment in China has not stopped. Well, it's not a problem to add another billion or two billion dollars, but the point is, which project in China can afford these funds? Tang Bao said helplessly, relieved himself a little, and continued: "Banking, insurance, securities, investment, funds, etc., I am very interested in investing, but does the country dare to open up to me?" Petroleum, minerals, telecommunications, aviation, etc., are also fine, but they are all monopolized by state-owned enterprises, and it is still difficult for me to enter. There are no clear policy restrictions on other industries, science and technology, electronics, computers, etc., but domestic higher education talents are directly distributed by the state after graduation, and it is difficult for private enterprises to recruit high-tech talents. Many industries would rather open up to foreign capital to engage in joint ventures, rather than open to private enterprises, what do you want me to do, change a foreign capital vest, don't worry about falling into the truth? I would like to engage in real estate, but the domestic commercial housing market has not yet been formed! It's okay to go back to China to rent more land and build a farm, but which local government would dare to rent me 100,000 hectares of land? 10,000 hectares, or even 1,000 hectares, I'm afraid they will look forward and be timid. ”
“……”
The old man and the others were speechless, but Tang Hui pursed his lips and snickered.
"It's not that I don't want to invest in China, it's that the time has not yet come! I haven't used up the funds I have left in the country, and it is useless to transfer the funds to the country. What's more, the renminbi is still depreciating, two years ago it was 3.72 yuan to one dollar, and now, 4.78 yuan to one dollar, depreciating by 28% in two years! I predict that it will continue to depreciate...... From the perspective of capital investment, currency depreciation eats into investment returns. If the investment funds are sufficient, continuing to use the US dollar against the yuan is tantamount to throwing money into the water! Tang Bao said. (To be continued.) )
