Chapter 119: Mason Investments (Part II)
Gao Shengli according to the meaning of the old Mason, let the counties and cities in Qilu Province to report their respective investment environment and programs, and the investment team sent by the old Mason to discuss, and finally the old Mason determined three investment projects, one is the provincial city of Luoshui City's large-scale reservoir project, one is the production of nano ceramics in Yunchuan City, and then the thermal power project in Luzhong City.
When Gao Shengli received the letter of intent from Lao Mason, he couldn't help laughing, and his feelings revolved around Long Dan. Yunchuan City is in the north of Luzhong City, bordering Luzhong City, and most of the raw materials required are provided by Luzhong City, which increases development and employment opportunities for Luzhong City in disguise. And the reservoir project in Luoshui City, the provincial capital, may be a big affection that Old Mason sold to himself.
However, from the three projects selected by Old Mason, we can also see Old Mason's vision. All three of these projects are profitable and loss-free projects. Take nano ceramics as an example, ceramics itself is the strength of China, for thousands of years, Chinese ceramics are famous all over the world, over the years are the best-selling goods for export, plus in recent years, the wide application of nano ceramics, in the world, Chinese ceramics still occupy a large proportion. In particular, in recent years, the maturity of technology, the share of Huaxia ceramics in the world is getting heavier and heavier. Old Mason invests in nano ceramics, as long as the technology is more refined, all products are definitely best-selling.
Invest in large reservoirs in provincial capitals, although the profit cycle is slightly longer. Imagine a large city with a population of more than 10 million, and its own water demand is astronomical. Over the years, Luoshui City is a city short of water, although it is known as the Spring City, but due to the large amount of groundwater extraction, hundreds of thousands of famous springs in the city have been cut off, becoming a name only. Although in recent years, the government has made great efforts to minimize the extraction of groundwater and protect forest vegetation, and some famous springs have been supplied with water, but it is still far from the scene of a few decades ago, when there were springs everywhere and weeping willows in every household.
Therefore, the municipal party committee and municipal government argued that a large reservoir should be built upstream of Luoshui City. On the one hand, natural rainwater can be stored, and on the other hand, water from the Yellow River can be pumped as a supplement. Storing natural rainwater is not a problem, as long as it rains all day long, it can be stored in the reservoir, but there is a big problem in pumping the water of the Yellow River. That is the treatment of sediment, if the sediment is not treated well, it will be sent directly to the reservoir, but after more than ten years, the sediment will fill the reservoir, and at that time, the entire reservoir will be scrapped.
The reason why the old Mason took over the large-scale reservoir project in Luoshui City, the provincial capital, is because the Mason family's subsidiary has this technology, which can restore the sediment to the Yellow River through guò filtration and centrifugal technology, and only clean pure water enters the reservoir, without the slightest sediment, which ensures the safety of the reservoir.
If a large reservoir is built in the upper reaches of Luoshui City, it will not only solve the water supply worries of the provincial capital, but also directly change the geography and vegetation conditions of the upper reaches of the provincial capital, and greatly alleviate the natural climate of the entire city. The provincial capital of Qilu has not only been known as the spring city since ancient times, but also has the nickname of one of the four major furnaces in the country. That is to say, the climate in Luoshui is much warmer than in other surrounding cities.
After Old Mason's letter of intent was decided, he was very happy with Hu Xuejian, the mayor of Luoshui City, who had only been in office for a short time, and he encountered such a big pie, as if it had fallen from the sky, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy. Mayor Hu understands very well that as long as this project is implemented well during his term of office, it will be a great political achievement, benefiting the country and the people and himself, even if he does not want to be promoted, the bigwigs in the province will see it in their eyes and will make a strong mark on their political achievements.
Therefore, Mayor Hu waited for Old Mason to sign the letter of intent, and he circled around Old Mason every day. Later, after the provincial party secretary Gao Shengli's dialing, knowing that Long Dan played a very important role in this, he often talked to Long Dan on the phone, either inviting Long Dan to visit various enterprises, or convening celebrities in the province to accompany Long Dan to travel the mountains and rivers, hoping that this old Mason could sign a contract with Luoshui City as soon as possible under the persuasion of Long Dan, and develop and build a large-scale reservoir project as soon as possible.
In addition, Guo Kailai, the mayor of Yunchuan City, is also very excited since receiving the letter of intent from Mason Group transferred by the provincial government. Yunchuan City is a famous porcelain capital in China, with large and small porcelain factories all over Yunchuan. However, due to the shrinking of the domestic market in recent years and the malicious competition between peers, many companies are not very prosperous. This requires the injection of a new force to revive this pool of stagnant water in Yunchuan City. The rise of nano-ceramics is not intended to be a new force.
However, due to the financial problems of various enterprises, it is impossible to carry out large-scale technological transformation, and many enterprises are waiting and seeing, and there has been no formation of a large-scale enterprise led by nanotechnology. If Mason Group injects a large amount of capital, coupled with the technical advantages of the Mason family, a strong enterprise group will be formed in Yunchuan, which will drive the ceramic industry of the entire Yunchuan City to a new climax.
Guo Kailai received the letter of intent from Mason Group, and immediately convened the Standing Committee, carefully analyzed the letter of intent of Mason Group, and established a large-scale nano ceramic project command group. He himself is the team leader, and the top leaders of each key department are the team members to operate the project in an all-round way. And sent people to the provincial capital 24 hours a day to follow Long Dan and Lao Mason and his party, Long Dan and Lao Mason walked there, and they were received by people from Yunchuan City. Sometimes, as soon as Long Dan and Lao Mason came out, they met two groups of people from Luoshui City and Yunchuan City rushing to receive them, and Long Dan and Lao Mason didn't know that it was appropriate to follow that group. Sometimes, the two groups of people fought over who would receive them, and in the end, they stabbed the matter to Gao Shengli, the secretary of the provincial party committee. Although Gao Shengli is the secretary of the provincial party committee, he treats his subordinates, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, so it is difficult to determine who is right and wrong, so he has to discuss with Long Dan, and Long Dan set the itinerary, when to go to Yunchuan and when to stay in the provincial capital, and separated the two groups, but there was a dispute.
When Yunchuan City and Luoshui City competed to receive Long Dan and Lao Mason, Shi Weijun, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Luzhong City, did not panic, she did not come to the provincial capital to join in the excitement, but just urged her subordinates to prepare for the work, just called Long Dan every once in a while, and asked Long Dan's itinerary and when he could return to Luzhong City. Because, Shi Weijun is a person on the line of high victory, and Shi Weijun himself is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, so he naturally knows more information than the two mayors, so he is naturally not in a hurry, he knows that as long as Long Dan is there, Mason Group's investment in Luzhong City is nine out of ten, and he holds it in.
Just when the three mayors were eagerly looking forward to the Mason Group signing a contract with him, the old Mason was calm, the old Mason deserved to be the old Mason, and he invested in Huaxia for the sake of Longdan's face, although there was a reason for his own development of the Huaxia market, but after all, it was because of the majority of Longdan's ingredients. When Lao Mason saw that the mayors were eager to sign the contract by himself, Lao Mason and Long Dan put forward a request, that is, to ask Long's company to account for 50% of the shares in it, no matter how much Long Dan invested, its shares must account for 50%. Long Dan knew that this was Lao Mason's desire to give himself a big affection, and secondly, he was firmly tied to himself.
Actually, Long Dan also had such thoughts. Because when Long Dan was discussing science and technology with the spacecraft's supercomputer Long Tai, he thought that if he wanted to get the high-tech technology of Long Tai's outer space, it could not be completed by Long Dan's existing technology alone, even if it was domestic, some high-precision instruments could not be manufactured. If Long Dan wants to realize these ideas, he will have to borrow the strength of the Mason family in a great way. And in this regard, Britain has its advantages, after all, Britain is the first in the world to rise advanced countries, although in recent decades by the mold country to catch up with the past, but some technology is difficult to reach in China, especially the most advanced CNC machine tools in the world, is controlled by a number of large countries, one is the mold country, one is the British country, one is Germany, and then the Japanese country. They all cherished these technologies for themselves, and imposed an embargo on China, so that many domestic enterprises could only import products from these countries, but could not produce them themselves.
In this regard, some enterprises in China are not aware of technological protection. For example, Jingdezhen's ceramic technology not only allowed the technicians of the Waguo to visit the production process comprehensively, but also provided the manufacturing process to the Waguo free of charge. These Japanese people learned the technology, they no longer talked about cooperation with Chinese enterprises, but returned to China to develop their own, and later were boasted by the Japanese people, porcelain technology is the first in China, and the second in China, and what nonsense what Chinese porcelain technology is learned from the Japanese country, and the world's porcelain technology originated from the Japanese remarks.
Another example, Huaxia has a technology to extract VC from wheat bran, leading the world, after the Japanese people heard about it, they raised a lot of money to buy this patent, and in the case that the relevant people in China talked about it without any results, they actually found in a magazine in Huaxia that the process of extracting VC was all published in the magazine, and after the Japanese people found out, they only spent a few dollars to buy a magazine, and mastered all the technology, and saved a sky-high patent fee. This is the consequence of the fact that the Chinese people do not understand the secrecy of technology.
In the country of mold and the country of Britain, there is no such situation. A major technological invention will be deliberately protected by the state. For example, the latest Apple mobile phone series developed by Steve Jobs has more than 2,000 patented technologies, both from the appearance and the internal structure, all of which have applied for international patents, and others will have to pay huge patent fees if they want to imitate. Of course, Huaxia's copycat series is not among them, which is also a major feature of Huaxia.
Long Dan guessed the thoughts and purposes of Old Mason's heart, which coincided with his own thoughts, which was also a win-win situation, so he happily agreed to Old Mason's request. However, he didn't take advantage of Lao Mason anymore, and the three projects added up to 60 billion investment, and Long Dan also contributed half, and the same capital contribution as Mason Group also owns the same shares. Long Dan's move made Lao Mason very happy, and he felt that it was worth the trip to China with Long Dan this time.
