At 3 p.m. on May 1, 1978, at the project headquarters of Shekou Village Free Trade Zone on the Chinese side of the China-Hong Kong border, Director Ma and the others discussed the price of land, and they invited us to the conference room of the headquarters to discuss the land transaction and cooperative development of the bonded zone.

Director Ma said: "Chairman Zhou! The price is never the most reasonable, the investment is for the future! After careful consideration, in order to make the contract issuer and the contractor go a little smoother, we decided to adjust the land price to 10,000 yuan/mu, which is equivalent to 5,000 US dollars/mu according to our current exchange rate! 40 years of use! The total land price of the first phase is 50 million US dollars! This is the best price we can come up with! At the same time, we promise that the free exchange of foreign exchange, free trade and other supporting services and management in the bonded zone will be implemented! Protect the freedom of movement, personal and property safety of all foreigners who enter the bonded zone to set up factories and operate! ”

I said, "Thank you for your sincere concessions!" We agree to cooperate with you in the development of this free trade zone and assume our responsibilities and obligations in accordance with the contract! Excuse me, how are we going to pay you for the land? ”

Director Ma said: "Chairman Zhou! You have to pay dollars! We are in dire need of foreign exchange! After signing the "Project General Contracting Contract", you will pay immediately and start to entrust our project planning and design unit to formulate the project planning and design! ”

Then, Director Ma and the others showed us the "Project General Contracting Contract" that they had prepared for the development, construction and operation of the first phase of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone.

The main terms of the contract are:

1. Project target: 10,000 acres of land, 40 years of use right (see plot map for details).

After reading the contract, me, Xiaoda, Li Xiaohu, Ouyang Fengxing and Xue Meifeng had a separate discussion.

Ouyang Fengxing said: "Ah Cai! This restriction is too! If we don't meet the deadline, you'll be fined $1 billion! Can this still be done? ”

Xue Meifeng said: "Alas! Our responsibility is mainly in attracting investment! Now, we have a large number of high-quality customers in reserve! These customers have stable orders, large scale of employment, and financial strength, as long as these large factories settle in, there should be no problem! ”

Li Xiaohu said: "Yes! There are many manufacturers with more than 2,000 workers in Hong Kong City! If we recruit 45 factories of this kind, we can reach 90,000 jobs! We visit at least 800 such manufacturers! More than 500 people have a strong intention to settle in! If Director Ma cooperates with me to do publicity and fulfill their promises, it shouldn't be a problem to attract investment! ”

I said, "Okay! Everyone is confident, let's bet with them! Everyone makes money together, and we will bear the loss alone! ”

Everyone laughed!

Therefore, we asked Director Ma to add a clause to the contract, and in the process of project investment, they will set up a project office in Gangcheng to assist us in investment promotion and project policy description.

Director Ma, they agreed to our request and added this clause to the contract.

After they revised the contract, I, in my capacity as Qin Jingcai, chairman of Walder Financial Investment Management Co., Ltd., signed the "General Contract for Project Construction, Investment Promotion and Operation" with Director Ma for the first phase of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone project.

After the contract was signed, the contract payment of US$50 million was paid from Zhou Zilong's UBS account to the contract account of the bonded zone through international long-distance telephone calls, as well as US$1 million in land transaction tax at a rate of 2%, totaling US$51 million.

After the signing of the contract, everyone applauded and congratulated!

They are an infrastructure engineering group company with Class A design and construction qualifications, and they have undertaken the design and construction of many key projects!

Director Ma smiled and said, "Okay! The chairman of this group company is called Yan Feng, who is in his forties! The chief engineer's name is Hao Xihu, in his fifties, he is a graduate of the architecture department of a famous overseas university, and a veteran returnee! They are all old friends of mine! Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to them! ”

After our meeting, Director Ma and the others arranged for us to rest in the dormitory.

After everyone had dinner together in the office cafeteria, Director Ma and the others continued the meeting, and several of us played poker in the dormitory.

......

At 9 a.m. on May 2, Director Ma took me to the conference room of the office to meet with Yan Feng and Hao Xihu.

After we met and introduced each other, we began to talk about the project design and construction general contracting.

Yan Feng smiled and said, "Chairman Zhou! We are acquainted with Lao Ma and your mother Magnolia, and our group has built national defense projects on the southwest border! It turned out that we belonged to the engineering series, and now we have turned into a company! In fact, our group has just changed its shell, and the things inside are still the same! ”

Everyone laughed!

I said, "Chairman Yan! You are so humble! Tell us about your company's strengths and strengths? ”

Chief Engineer Hao Xihu showed me the company's brochure, business license, design qualification certificate, construction qualification certificate, etc.

Hao Xihu smiled and said, "Chairman Zhou! We have done a lot of successful cases! Among them, the industrial base that your Zhongnan Science and Technology Group Company is now undertaking is designed and built by us! At that time, in order to cater to the tastes of the Nordics, this base adopted the Soviet style of architecture and layout! Now, your project is for overseas European and American industrial and commercial enterprises to settle in and operate, in order to meet the needs of these customers, we have a very in-depth research, we will be able to meet their needs in the design style, use, function and layout, at the same time, so that your property and facilities can meet the needs of investment and sales, which is conducive to the settlement of manufacturers and later management! In short, we are able to meet your design and construction needs professionally, efficiently and comprehensively! ”

Yan Feng said: "Chairman Zhou! Director Ma! Hao is always a practical person! What he promised, we will be able to do! You leave the whole project to us, and you can save a lot of trouble! After all, we are acquaintances and trust each other! Coupled with our professional company, we can help you deal with a lot of professional problems! I hope that you will leave the project design and construction to us, and our hundreds of thousands of employees are waiting for the rice to be cooked! ”

I said, "Okay! Thank you for your introduction, may I ask, how do you charge the design fee? ”

Iwamine said, "Let's charge 5% of the value of the land!" The value of your land is 100 million RMB! We charge 5,000,000 RMB! 50% advance payment, full payment after acceptance! We'll make bills for you! ”

I said, "Chairman Yan! Do you have a copy of the Project Planning and Design Commissioned Contract? ”

Yan Feng smiled and said, "Chairman Zhou! We brought! Please take a look! ”

So, Yan Feng showed me the "Project Planning and Design Entrustment Contract" that they had prepared, and after I had no problem with the contract, I signed the "Project Planning and Design Entrustment Contract" for the first phase of the China-Hong Kong Free Trade Zone project with Yan Feng as the chairman of Yangcheng Hualong Company.

The main terms of the contract are:

Design fee: 5 million RMB.

Design period: May 2, 1978 to November 3, 1978 (of which the project master plan was completed and accepted on June 2, 1978)

After the overall design passes the acceptance, the general contractor of the project will be contracted to the designer and construction unit.

Payment method: 50% of the total amount is the advance payment, and the full payment is made for completion and acceptance.

After signing, I said, "Chairman Iwa! Please take the contract to the office of Yangcheng Hualong Company, and find our financial director to call Wen Fenghua to stamp the official seal and handle the payment! Wait, I'll inform my people right away! ”

Yan Feng smiled and said, "Okay! Our company headquarters is also in Yangcheng! After handling the matter, I will leave a set of contracts in your Yangcheng office! ”

Director Ma smiled and said, "Lao Yan! Wait a minute, I'll go back to Yangcheng with you! I'm very familiar with that place in the Acai office! Today, you have to get the money, and then, hurry up and design for us, this matter can't be delayed! Otherwise, Ah Cai and I will be in trouble! ”

Everyone laughed!

Then, I called Aunt Wen in the office and explained to Yan Feng about their contract stamping and payment.

Aunt Wen said on the phone: "I'm waiting at the office, and when they come, I'll do it for them!" ”

After signing the contract, everyone had lunch together in the office canteen.

Then, Director Ma and Yan Feng drove back to Yangcheng with smiles on their faces!

Me, Xiaoda, Li Xiaohu, Ouyang Fengxing and Xue Meifeng packed up our luggage and belongings and drove back to the port city from the Luohu Bridge port.

2 p.m. We returned to the CIA service station at Haolong Port.

The five of us were on the couch in my office at the service station, drinking coffee and discussing the operation of the China-Hong Kong project.

Xue Meifeng said: "Ah Cai! This project needs to be operated by a professional management company, right? The company's business scope must include investment, sales, operation management and property management! ”

I said, "Yes! Let's register this company immediately, and in the future, the property investment, sales and management of Xinghailong, New Century and other projects will also be operated by this company! I am the chairman, responsible for the company's operating capital, and you are responsible for working in the company! Xiaoda is the general manager, and the three of you are the deputy general managers! Is that okay? ”

Li Xiaohu smiled and said, "Great! I finally became the deputy general manager of a large company! ”

Everyone laughed!

Ouyang Fengxing said with a smile: "Think about it, give our company a nice name!" ”

Xue Meifeng said with a smile: "Business is all about money!" Wealth is gold, let's call it gold! Kinpan International Business Management Company! What do you think? ”

I said, "Yes! The name is very loud! I'll ask Lawyer Tang to come over right away! Let him help me register this company! ”

So, I called Mr. Tang, who works at the Haolong Building, and asked him to bring a set of company registration documents.

Soon, Lawyer Tang brought the company registration documents to the webmaster's office, and after Lawyer Tang asked me to sign some company registration documents and forms, Xiaoda and Li Xiaohu followed Lawyer Tang out to do business.

......

At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoda and Li Xiaohu registered the business license, tax registration, certificate of legal person and chairman of the board of directors, company bank account, company seal, etc.

The chairman of this company is Qin Jingcai, which was established on May 2, 1978.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! What's next? ”

I said, "You find a place to be an office in Haolong Building, and you quickly establish the company system and departments!" After you come up with the company's business plan and budget, I will invest 20 million US dollars in Jinpan Company! In the future, you will all get wages and commissions from Jinpan Company! ”

Xue Meifeng smiled and said, "Ah Cai, Xiao Da!" Jinpan company's business plan and budget, I will take charge of it! All three of you boys are too careless! I don't know how to apply for fees with the chairman! ”

Several of them lifted it up and cheered and applauded excitedly!
