Chapter 137 Investment Promotion

Australians have been recruiting immigrants in Guangzhou, but most of them are landless farmers and displaced people, many of whom have no other skills and can only farm, and they will be sent to Hong Kong to settle after passing the inspection. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to adapt to the development of Hong Kong, Hong Kong has also recruited a lot of immigrants in the past few months, but in order to enrich the diversity of urban life, Zhou Yang proposed a policy of attracting investment for the first time.

This policy is mainly aimed at Ming vendors, who can come here to open taverns and inns, as well as snack bars, and do not have to pay taxes for three years, and at the same time can obtain the right of domicile in Hong Kong.

However, the implementation of this policy does not seem to attract many people. The main reason for paying taxes, basically no commercial tax in ancient times, only agricultural tax, is that the traditional concept is that businessmen belong to lowly industries, so they do not charge commercial tax to businessmen.

But this does not mean that the merchant does not have to pay other fees, this way, there are many places to pass, if you don't do a good job, then you want to easily go from other people's land, it will be difficult. So most of the time, their practice was to subordinate their business to the name of the influential gentry.

The gentry class belonged to the local powers, and the intricate alliances between them made ordinary local officials dare not offend them at all.

Therefore, the advantage proposed by Australia is not an advantage now, even if doing business in Australia can be tax-free, it does not mean that his goods receive such benefits through other places, but to open a branch in Hong Kong, this is an opportunity to contact and communicate with Australians.

Although Hong Kong is a small place, but the import and export of Australian goods is set up here, if it was not open before, then now it is done here openly, and I don't know what Shen Yulong said, in short, the imperial court directly issued an official document down, recognizing the meaning of Australians living in Hong Kong for trade.

This is a serious official document of the imperial court, needless to say, it means that it represents the approval of the imperial court, so there is no need to do business with Australia secretly in the future, so some businessmen who originally set up a semicolon in Hong Kong are not so afraid at this time.

But let them invest more money to participate in the construction of Hong Kong, many people are still unwilling, the main purpose of their branch here is to buy Australian goods, in addition to this advantage they do not feel that there are other advantages here.

But Hong Kong's infrastructure needs money, and it is far from enough to rely on local financial support, and they have to think of other methods, Zhou Yang and Yang Yuzhou have also engaged in such a investment promotion, but this thing is not popular here, and it does not fit the current environment.

The reason why investment promotion is popular in later generations is that local governments will give them certain preferential policies, such as land use rights and taxes, but now these things cannot attract local businessmen in the Ming Dynasty.

"We have to change our strategy, it's not a matter of going on like this, and in my opinion, the temptation of the plan is not strong enough, so that's the key. As soon as the policy of attracting investment came out, Zhou Yang has been observing, but he has not gained anything for nearly two weeks. ”

During this period, there was not even a single person who came to ask, which shows that this whole thing is problematic, so the plan must be modified, the temptation to increase, and the temptation that Australia can take out is technology in addition to the benefits originally provided.

It's just that technology exports need to be approved by the industrial team and the National Security Council, and any technology in Australia must be ahead of the world.

"Lao Zhou, what are your plans, the temptation we can provide is basically so much, and lowering the price of export goods to them, this is not worth it, and the local people will definitely not agree, unless it is the same, let's establish some processing points here."

At present, there is only one cement production enterprise in Hong Kong, the nature of this enterprise belongs to the public-private partnership system, the state accounts for 20 percent of the shares, the largest shareholder is Yang Yuzhou, followed by Wu Zhengdao and Zhou Yang and others, because cement is very useful whether it is to build houses or city walls, as long as you put sand on the water, and when it dries it is as stiff as a stone.

Now cement also has a new nickname, called mud and stone, which means that it is like mud after the water, and it is a stone when it is dry, and I don't know who came up with this name.

"I'm afraid it's not going to attract them to set up a processing point, we have to involve them in it, and only if they invest money to come in, then they will do their best."

What Zhou Yang said is technology export, but Yang Yuzhou has not thought about technology export, but forget it, technology export is within the scope of strict restrictions, and it is difficult to get passed.

Not to mention the opposition of those in the industrial group, it is still a matter whether the rest of the general public supports it.

"It's difficult, I think this matter is a little difficult, and local businessmen jointly set up a factory, it's hard to say whether those people in the technical team will support it, just whether these Ming people are interested in it."

"As long as this thing is done, I can guarantee that those people will definitely be interested, as long as there is one person who takes the lead, someone will follow suit, and the key is that we must persuade the country to agree to transfer some ordinary technology for export."

Yang Yuzhou was born as a businessman, but he is also a little ambitious, if what Zhou Yang said can be successful, it is not difficult for Hong Kong to develop, which is not a small capital accumulation for an ambitious person, no matter where he goes in the future, it is capital.

But there are also risks, if you don't pass, you will become the target of others, and the risks seem to outweigh the benefits.

"Lao Yang, if you are afraid, don't get involved in this matter, I will write a report alone, just say that it is my personal opinion, and it will not affect you."

"What's the matter, what do you call personal, I can tell you, don't want to get rid of me and do it alone, I have to participate in this matter, there is no risk in what I said, right?"

Although Yang Yuzhou is afraid of risks, but thinking that Zhou Yang has the support of Wu Zhengdao, Xu Renguo and others, it is not very difficult to say that this matter is not very difficult, even if it is not successful, Zhou Yang has to remember that he is good in the future, and will his life be difficult in the future.

So he decided to follow Zhou Yang and submit a technology transfer report, no matter what it was, he got in the car first.
