Chapter 143: Expedition to Taiwan (Part I)
After entering Taiwan, Catherine's first stop was Taipei, but she was only to store her luggage, and immediately after, she set off for Kaohsiung.
His father, Bruce, is also in Kaohsiung and is in consultation with the Taiwan side, and he can't do without himself.
Although Catherine is not yet an adult, Catherine is the actual controller of the Ark Company!
The earliest foreign investment in Taiwan was the investment of the American Strange Company in Taipower in 1952.
In 1954, Taiwan promulgated the Overseas Chinese and Foreign Investment Act. However, the amount of foreign capital that flowed in in the 50s was small, and the investment was often between hundreds of thousands and millions, which was very unstable. It was not until after 1958 that the tension between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait eased and the situation in Taiwan took a turn for the better.
Starting next year, foreign capital will flow rapidly into Taiwan -- now because the mainland has just planted mushrooms once, foreign companies are generally not optimistic about Taiwan's political affairs.
The current regime in Taiwan has adopted a series of economic reforms that are shaping the overall environment conducive to investment, especially in Kaohsiung, which has been designated as a reform area with favorable conditions for foreign investment.
The government provides land, factories, and simplifies the complicated investment procedures, all of which are very good in Catherine's opinion.
In the next decade, the electronic and electrical industry will account for more than half of foreign investment.
Bruce is now being jointly received by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Economic Construction Commission under the Executive Yuan of Taiwan, plus the local government of Kaohsiung City and relevant personnel of the Industrial Processing Zone, which can be said to be quite a high standard, after all, this is the largest foreign company that may invest in Taiwan for so long.
To be honest, Taiwan in the 60s gave Catherine a feeling that it was a bit like the mainland in the 80s, if it weren't for the fact that all Chinese was traditional, Catherine even had some doubts that she had crossed again.
"Elsa, are there any traditional costumes in Taiwan?"
"If this is ......"
Elsa showed Catherine a black-and-white photograph that should be in the booklet.
In an instant, Catherine's heart was half stunned.
"Uh...... Never mind. ”
Catherine shook her head.
The cheongsam is too sexy to wear, and no one wears Hanfu, Catherine would like to try the traditional clothes here, but that kind of clothes are ...... It was so cruel that it was beyond words, and Catherine had to give up in the end.
Originally, Catherine wanted to go to a place and then try out the special clothes there, but unfortunately, it may not work in Taiwan.
If you go to Australia, it doesn't seem possible, because it's all white immigrants......
Thinking about it, Catherine still felt a little pity, but now it can only be counted.
Because she was going to Kaohsiung, Catherine could only put her tour of Taiwan behind for a while.
But Taiwan's "Eight Scenes and Twelve Victories", Catherine will never let go.
Catherine looked at the information about Taiwan that had been sorted out, and wondered when she would be able to move her factory over.
The current mayor of Kaohsiung City is named Chen Qichuan, who is a prominent family in Kaohsiung and a former landowner.
However, this person seems to have no intention of entering politics, and he was directly instructed by Lao Jiang to run for election.
Chen Qichuan's prestige in Kaohsiung is very high, and Catherine is thinking that if she really wants to recruit or do something, she may need to contact the mayor of Kaohsiung.
After all, on this side of the Far East, it is a society of human feelings, and everyone talks about feelings.
Coming to the hotel here in Kaohsiung, Bruce is already waiting here.
"Dad, how are things going?"
As soon as Catherine came, she couldn't wait to ask questions.
"The preferential measures in Taiwan are very good, but I still have to see it on the spot. But I think it's better for you to do this. ”
Catherine nodded. In fact, people from Intel and Apple are also in Kaohsiung, just to evaluate the quality of building factories in Taiwan.
"Well, when is the next expedition?" Catherine asked again.
"Tomorrow morning."
Catherine nodded.
Looks like nothing is going to happen this afternoon.
Catherine immediately decided to visit Taiwan's second-largest city.
Kaohsiung is the city with the highest population density and the most developed heavy industry in Taiwan, and Taiwan's largest international port, Kaohsiung Port, and Kaohsiung International Airport, the second largest airport, are also located in Kaohsiung City.
"Hmm...... Let's see, what kind of shopping street is here? Catherine looked at the guidebook, but Taiwan is doing a little worse than Japan in this regard, and the places marked on it are just some famous places, and there are few specific introductions. ,
Catherine could only look towards the vicinity of the hotel, which seemed to be quite prosperous.
And soon, Catherine had an unexpected surprise.
She soon saw a clothing store, and there was a piece of clothing in it, and Catherine thought it was good at first sight.
-- Isn't this the kind of student outfit in the modern Republic of China?
Since both cheongsam and hanbok are unrealistic, it seems that this kind of clothing is a good feeling.
"Come, Elsa, let's go and see!"
Catherine was interested, and she took her to the clothing store.
It's just a pity that most of the current Taiwanese speak Hokkien, and although Catherine knows Mandarin, she can't use it.
So, this job was also sent to the interpreter.
It's a blue silk top and a black knee-length skirt, which looks very retro and feels very good.
But then again, it seems that this kind of clothing can also be regarded as a cheongsam? Catherine wasn't sure, but the difference wasn't too big.
But Catherine asked the boss about it, but felt a little pity, because there were no socks and shoes, and Catherine had to do it herself.
When the clothes were purchased, Catherine returned to the hotel.
Although most of the luggage is in Taipei, Catherine also brings some clothes here.
Catherine pulled out white suspenders and a pair of cloth heels, the heels of which weren't too high, so they looked just right.
After this outfit is put on, at least on the surface, it is already about the same.
Catherine's careful thinking was finally satisfied.
Then, Catherine is going to eat a very cruel Tainan delicacy - the coffin board.
In fact, if it weren't for the murderous name, Catherine wouldn't have remembered this thing.
In fact, the coffin board just hollows out the middle of the toast, fills it with chicken, chicken liver, shrimp, carrots, potatoes, milk and other ingredients, and then covers it with toast.
In addition to eating, Catherine also has eight scenic spots in Kaohsiung that she wants to see, but this matter will probably have to wait until after inspecting the park.
……
Ahem, 6K a day, I can still guarantee it.
