Sixty-three

In early August, the Japanese Taisho Foundation arrived in Hirakawa again. Mr. Taisho's daughter, Yoshiko Taisho, and her husband, Mr. Nakamura, came with the group again.

When he sat in a luxury car and galloped all the way on the wide avenue of Pingchuan to visit the city, Mr. Nakamura seemed to be a little unconvinced of his eyes, and always asked the accompanying mayor Shu Huaru: Are these new roads, new lakes and new buildings built in the past three years?

When he arrived at the International Industrial Park, Mr. Nakamura was even more surprised. He could no longer have imagined that the Pingchuan power plant in the north of the international industrial park has been connected to the grid for power generation, and all the vacant factories in the starting area of the park have been owned, and most of them are in production.

In the living area, more than a dozen European and American houses of all kinds are connected, and there is even a high-end standard swimming pool full of clear water, and seven or eight employees from Canadian, American, and British companies are swimming in the standard swimming pool.

Mr. Nakamura was cautious, still worried that the Pingchuan city officials represented by Shu Huaru would make a name for themselves, and after seeing the new water plant in the park, he proposed to visit the Damohe River water turning station that he had seen with his own eyes.

Shu Huaru agreed with a smile on his face, and on the same day, he took a car of Japanese to the water station through the East Ring Road and the North Ring Road.

Along the way, the attentive Mr. Nakamura kept checking the location and distance of the water turning station against the sketches he had drawn last time.

When he arrived at the rebuilt water turning station, facing the desert river nearly 100 meters wide and full of clear water, Mr. Nakamura was completely convinced, and said to Shu Huaru again and again: "Incredible, really incredible." However, according to the original intention, it was no longer possible for Taisho to act as an exclusive agent for international investment.

Faced with the reality that 72 Chinese and foreign companies have entered the park, Shu Huaru, on behalf of Pingchuan, proposed that Pingchuan City and the Taisho Consortium jointly carry out international investment.

In China, the Pingchuan side is fully responsible; In Japan, the Taisho side is fully responsible. The rest of the third countries will be carried out by the two sides according to the actual situation, either jointly or separately.

Mr. Nakamura and Ms. Yoshiko Taisho agreed to the new plan after consulting with the Tokyo headquarters. In a fax sent to the Tokyo headquarters, Mr. Nakamura concluded that for investors from all over the world, this is a park full of hope and considerable development potential, and its investment environment and investment conditions are superior to those rarely seen in Chinese mainland.

There is every reason to believe that it is fully equipped with the possibility of successful international investment.

Although it has the disadvantage of being far from the sea compared with Thailand, Malaysia and other international investment zones along the coast of Southeast Asia, it is a first-class modern road network and a direct railway to the sea, which is enough to make up for its disadvantage.

In particular, it should be noted that the creativity of the Chinese here is astounding. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we would never have believed that the place we visited three years ago and the place we visited today would be the same place in the Chinese mainland.
