Although none of the members of the executive committee have served as senior government officials, they have seen too many examples of how to carry out regional development before they travel. If we only rely on the strength of the group itself, it will naturally be difficult to expand the Haihan-style social system outward, and the speed of promotion will not be satisfactory. Especially in a remote area like Hainan Island, which is traditionally far away, there is neither sufficient labor population nor various livelihood infrastructure, and the effect of relying only on the development of the group is indeed limited.

It took more than half a year for a Shengli port to take shape, so how long will it take to develop Yazhou? How many years will it take to develop the entire Hainan Island? What about dominating the world and realizing the goal of "there is only one China on the earth"? Of course, the last goal is indeed too far away, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the time-travelers to see the day when it will be achieved, but since they have chosen to come to this time and space, most people still hope to make some major events that will change the course of history and even go down in history in their lifetime, and it is obviously still difficult to rely on the current speed of development to achieve such a goal.

In order to speed up the development of Yazhou and even the entire Hainan Island region, the first way for the Executive Committee to think of is to "attract investment". This development method, which was widely used by local governments in the time and space before the time travel, already has a very mature set of operation models that can be applied, and the executive committee will not have too many technical problems if it wants to imitate it. As for whether this will be suspected of overstepping the rules and even clashing with the local government, the Executive Committee believes that at least a certain stage of trial operation can be carried out in Yazhou, where there is a high degree of official recognition, and then the successful experience can be gradually extended to other areas on Hainan Island.

As of the end of February, according to the registration data of the Shengli Port Management Committee, there are more than 20 commercial institutions and individuals that have set up or are ready to set up shops and shops in Shengli Port, enclosing more than 100 acres of land, with a total investment of more than 50,000 taels of silver, and thus creating a large number of employment opportunities. Judging from the increasing trend of Shengli Port's trade volume, it may be difficult for the Shengli Port Business District, which is limited by area, to meet the investment enthusiasm of foreign businessmen in the future, and the group must come up with a larger investment area and more investment projects.

Of course, "attracting investment" is just four words, but there are still many specific situations to be dealt with one by one when it is really to be implemented. Summing up the actual experience in another time and space, the Executive Committee believes that this work can be mainly divided into several types: first, there are projects to seek funds to start, second, there are funds to find project investment, third, there are both projects and funds, and they want to find a place to settle down, and finally, there is no condition, so they can only rely on land sales to attract investors.

The investment conditions of the crossing group are undoubtedly very powerful, there are projects, technologies, brands, funds, and even land ownership in some areas, and there is already a model of the successful project of Shengli Port for inspection, which is simply impeccable from the perspective of investors. The Executive Committee was also very confident in this, and after determining the relevant development direction at the summary meeting at the end of the year, the Executive Committee handed over this important task to the Guangzhou Office led by Schneider to implement.

"Haifeng" is not the first investment target that Schneider has interviewed, and today Wang Qin actually met this opportunity for an interview. For example, "Fu Ruifeng", which is defined by the Executive Committee as an "all-weather strategic partner", has been talking about relevant cooperation content more than a month ago, but because the circle of people who know about this matter is very small, and the confidentiality measures are relatively appropriate, the relevant news has not yet spread to the Guangzhou market. However, Schneider had already included all the customers of "Haihan Development Bank" in the interview list, and the customized glass seal given to Wang Qin was actually a small gift for the investment targets.

The new organization that Tao Donglai mentioned is the "Qiongzhou United Development Group Company" that the Executive Committee has recently organized and is in preparation, and this organization will be specifically responsible for soliciting foreign businesses to invest in Hainan Island and handling business-related affairs. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)

The reason why there is still the word "group" in the name is because the scope of authority that the executive committee is ready to give to this institution is indeed very large, and the project areas involved are not only small fights such as opening inns, restaurants, workshops, farms, etc., but are divided according to major subjects such as road and mining, agriculture and forestry, infrastructure, and shipping, and corresponding subordinate companies will be established in the future to operate specific businesses, while the "group company" level is responsible for the overall management of development projects and communication with the executive committee.

Reaching this kind of Cheng dù cooperation with Ming businessmen is also a new attempt for the crossing group. Of course, from the words "group" and "company", we can also see the determination of the Executive Committee to standardize the management of the new organization. It is only as to who will be at the helm of this new institution, and the Executive Committee has not yet made a final decision. There are four or five candidates, but this organization has heavy responsibilities, and the executive committee must also solicit the opinions of the parties concerned one by one, and one of Tao Dong's tasks in coming to Guangzhou this time is also to ask Schneider what he means as a trade director.

However, after listening to Tao Donglai's introduction, Wang Qin was a little incomprehensible: "May I ask Mr. Tao, I understand this 'joint development' in the future, but what does the 'company' mean? I have heard that there is a club organization in Fujian with the name of 'company', but I don't know that it is the same thing as what Mr. Tao said?"

Tao Donglai explained: "Confucius Ziyun, the public, the wealth of several people, the secretary, the meaning of operation. Zhuang Ziyun, the accumulation of disadvantages is high, the combination of small and large, merger and the way of the public, is for the company. The company we want to set up is the meaning of gathering the wealth of all people and operating together. ”

The word "company" did first appear in rural Fujian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and it was actually a form of organization with the nature of a gang, but this kind of non-governmental organization was not too directly related to Tao Donglai's explanation, and it had nothing to do with the "company" engaged in trade activities. However, this kind of organization has been in the people for a long time after that, such as the Qing Dynasty Xiaodao Society's notice of the people, which was stamped with the big seal of "Dahan Tiande Yixing Company". Lan Fang was founded by the Chinese in Borneo in the 18th century, and it was originally a non-governmental organization under the name of "Lan Fang Company". Until the end of the 19th century, there were still a large number of "Hongmen" children in Southeast Asia who used the names of various companies to carry out anti-Qing activities.

This kind of institution with a strong political color is completely different from the economic entity organization mentioned by Tao Donglai, and the real profit-oriented business organization actually appeared after the Opium War. Of course, the emergence of the Crossing Group also logically rewrote the relevant history, allowing the "company" as an economic entity to appear in East Asia more than 200 years earlier.

Wang Qin only understood Tao Donglai's half-literate explanation, but he also understood that the "company" in Haihan's mouth was not the same thing as the "company" he knew in the past. And although this so-called "Qiongzhou United Development Group Corporation" sounds a bit awkward, since it is the Haihan people who take the lead, there must still be some content.

Wang Qin coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Tao, this Qiongzhou union of yours ...... Exploitation...... Group ......"

"Boss Wang can call this agency 'Qiong Lianfa', and we also know that the full name is a little too long. Tao Donglai reminded with a smile.

"Qiong Lianfa? This name sounds pretty good, Lianfa Lianfa, join hands to make a fortune!" Wang Qin joked casually, and then asked: "Then I don't know how you plan to run this Qiong Lianfa Company?"

"First of all, we will prepare some development projects, and then raise funds for the various businesses that join our organization, and the funds contributed by the merchants will be converted into shares of the project on a pro-rata basis, in addition to receiving annual operating dividends, investors can also enjoy a lot of preferential treatment within the business scope of the project. Tao Donglai said, while taking out a document and handing it to Wang Qin: "These are some of the projects we will start operating next, Boss Wang can take a look at it first." ”

Wang Qin took it, and saw that the cover was written "Overview of Chongzhen's First Year Qiong Lianfa Business Project", and when he turned it over, the first page was the general outline, which was divided into four parts: road and mining, agriculture and forestry, infrastructure and shipping, and a number of projects were listed below each part.

Wang Qin glanced at the list of projects under "agriculture and forestry", and there were more than a dozen items such as "sericulture promotion plan in central and northern Qiongzhou", "economic forest planting plan in southeast Qiongzhou", "sugar industry layout in Yazhou area", "planning of oil crop planting area in Qiongzhou", "marketing plan for spice crops in the South China Sea", "livestock breeding plan in southeast Qiongzhou", etc., each of which was also marked with the words "please see the attachment for details".

Wang Qin looked at the "shipping" he was most concerned about, and there were more small items listed under this major item than "agriculture and forestry", and most of the paper was densely listed. Wang Qin took a cursory glance, and there were such sensational projects as "Haihan Shipbuilding Technology Promotion", "South China Sea Shipping Industry Planning", "Five-Year Plan for Shipbuilding Industry", "Seafarer Training Standardization Program", "Maritime Safety Insurance System Promotion", and finally even "Warship Export Plan", "Establishment and Operation of Overseas Bases" and other sensational projects. Of course, without exception, these things are not accompanied by specific content descriptions, but just looking at these topics is enough to make people's hearts itch.

The last time Wang Qin went to Shengli Harbor, he was also shocked by the big iron ships docked in the harbor without exception. Anyone who has seen these large iron ships floating on the water will generally not have any doubts about the shipbuilding technology of the Haihan people. Moreover, Shengli Port has built such a large shipyard, and it seems that the Haihan people are really planning to make a big deal in shipping.

Wang Qin looked back at the "roads and mines" and "infrastructure", and all of them were full of various business projects, and it could be seen that the Haihan people had made a very full and meticulous plan for this plan.

Wang Qin took the document and looked at it for a long time before he asked: "Mr. Tao just said that in addition to operating dividends, investors can also enjoy preferential treatment for business projects, I don't know what kind of preferential law this is?"

Tao Donglai explained: "This depends on different projects, for example, Boss Wang has a stake in the mine, so in the future, the price of buying refined iron from us will enjoy an internal discount that only shareholders have." If you invest in our shipbuilding industry, then the price of sea vessels ordered from Haihan Shipyard in the future will also be handled according to this rule. The preferential treatment we give is a very practical plan, and it is definitely not lip service, but can really be measured in silver. Of course, as for the specific preferential range, it also depends on the proportion of shares. ”

Wang Qin nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to a place on the document and asked, "What does this 'rail transit construction project' mean?"

"This is a new land transportation method that we are currently building in the Shengli Port area, which is significantly superior to traditional methods in terms of transportation capacity and speed. I may not have heard Boss Wang too clearly, if it is convenient, Boss Wang can go to Shengli Port next month to see what is going on. Whether this thing is good or not, you will know at a glance when the time comes. Tao Donglai also knew that this matter was not clear in one or two sentences, rather than talking about it here, it was better to let the other party go and see the real thing at that time.

The first phase of the rail transit project will be completed by the end of March at the earliest, and the related work will not stop there, and the rail project will be gradually extended in the next few years as it expands through the group's territory. However, the cost of building roads is quite huge, so the Executive Committee has also included this project in the many planning projects of "Qiong Lianfa".

Wang Qin really didn't quite understand what Tao Donglai said about the concept of "rail transit", but he understood the matter of road construction, and immediately asked: "Mr. Tao, how to build this road? Is it possible to charge pedestrians on the road?"

Tao Donglai smiled: "That's right, that's what you said." As for how to collect it, you will know when you see it. ”

Wang Qin couldn't imagine how the Haihan people could charge people who walked on this road, so he changed the question and said: "I think there is also a project to build private houses, as far as I know, most of the private houses are built by craftsmen themselves, if they are operated by companies, how should this be operated?"

This question really asked Tao Donglai's profession, Tao Donglai was also itchy for a while, so he briefly talked about how to plan the land, design and construction to market operation, and real estate marketing, and Wang Qin couldn't close his mouth throughout the whole process.

After Tao Donglai finally got excited and finally introduced the real estate development process, Wang Qin asked tentatively: "Mr. Tao is sure to do this, and the local people will definitely spend money to buy a house?"

Tao Donglai said: "All the land in the Shengli Port area is ours, and now the local people's housing is all provided by us, in other words, their current houses are actually not their own property, you say that if they can buy their own residence, and it is much better than their current living conditions, are these people willing to pay this money?"

"Willing is naturally willing, but ordinary people want to buy this kind of brick and tile house you planned, and they are afraid that it will be enough to have several years of savings. As far as I know, most of the people who come to Shengli Port to beg for a living are poor people, and how long will it take to wait until these people save enough money to buy a house?" Wang Qin was not confused, and was not fooled by Tao Donglai's words.

Tao Donglai said with a smile: "This is easy to do, who wants to buy a house and doesn't have enough money, then you can borrow from us! We can use a very low interest rate and a long repayment period to lend money to people who want to buy a house, even if it takes ten or twenty years to pay it back, so that you don't have to worry about no one buying the house when it is built." ”

Wang Qin shook his head and said: "Mr. Tao, since you also said that this Qiong Lianfa is to gather wealth and make money, everyone pays for this share, and naturally hopes to be able to see the benefits, if it takes ten or twenty years to get back the money lent out, then it is okay not to do this business." ”

"Boss Wang, you misunderstood, Qiong Lianfa is only engaged in project development, and it is not up to Qiong Lianfa to borrow money. Schneider interjected at the right time: "We, the 'Haihan Development Bank', are the main ones responsible for this matter." ”

"What kind of operation method is this?" Wang Qin found that his brain was a little unable to keep up with the train of thought of these Haihan people.

"If there are people who need to borrow money to buy a house, it is to borrow from our bank, and we will advance the money to pay the purchase price to Qiong Lianfa, so that the shareholders of Qiong Lianfa can get the income as soon as they sell the house. As for the borrower's repayment object, it is naturally on our bank's side. Schneider smiled and explained to Wang Qin: "And our bank relies on the interest on this loan to maintain the cost. ”

Wang Qin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's still not appropriate, these ordinary people have neither savings nor land, what kind of mortgage can they give to your bank to borrow?

"Boss Wang, you have neglected the real trading items in this transaction process!" Tao Donglai shook his head and expressed regret for Wang Qin's IQ: "Houses! From beginning to end, the trading house is a house!"

Wang Qin clapped his hands and said: "Yes, take the house directly as collateral, if you can't pay back the money, then the bank will take back the house to pay off the debt! Good idea, good idea!"

The other people in the room all looked at each other and smiled, a truth that was regarded as common sense in later generations was regarded as a brilliant money-making idea in this era. In fact, it is not that Wang Qin's brain is too stupid, but because the merchants of this era do not have the concept of operating large-scale real estate projects, and the development of commercial and residential real estate is completely an unprecedented emerging industry here. And there are people in the industry like Tao Donglai in the crossing group, and it is difficult for related development projects to make money
