Chapter 242: Investment
Song Yuanchao, who was far away in Yanjing, continued his university career.
A few days after returning to Yanjing from Yangcheng, Song Yuanchao ushered in his sophomore life, and Lin Yan also entered his senior year, that is, the last year of college life.
Back in Yanjing, Song Yuanchao first went to the courtyard that was being repaired, when he stepped into this courtyard again, for a while he even couldn't believe the scene in front of him, the whole courtyard and when he left changed greatly, although the repair continued, but the courtyard has completed the overall structure restoration, and it is no longer what he saw at the beginning.
Professor Yao is worthy of being a professional, and the team he leads can also be said to be one of the top in China, and with their efforts, this courtyard house has been initially restored to its original appearance, which surprised Song Yuanchao.
After staying in the courtyard for a whole day, having a good chat with Professor Yao and his assistants after watching the scene, and listening carefully to their progress and report on the repair work, Song Yuanchao booked a table in a nearby restaurant and invited everyone to have a good meal to thank everyone for their hard work these days.
According to Professor Yao's plan, the overall renovation will continue until mid-November, depending on the weather.
Because by November, Yanjing will gradually enter the winter, and it is inconvenient to construct in winter, so the overall repair will be completed before the winter as much as possible. After the overall renovation is completed, the next step is to repair some of the improvements and details of the interior, which is a detailed work.
Judging from these plans, it is not surprising that the courtyard will be completely renovated by June next year, and their work will be completed by then.
The matter of the courtyard was put aside for the time being, and naturally Professor Yao and them would deal with it, and all Song Yuanchao could do was guarantee the funds, which was easy for him.
A few days after the start of school, Song Yuanchao received a call from Qin Zhengguo, in which Qin Zhengguo reported to him about the contact with the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone.
To Song Yuanchao's surprise, Qin Zhengguo told him on the phone that he was not the first Xiangjiang businessman to contact the Pengcheng SAR government, as early as last year, a wealthy Xiangjiang real estate businessman had already contacted Pengcheng and preliminarily signed an agreement to invest in Pengcheng.
This wealthy businessman is Lao Liu, the boss of Xiangjiang Miaoli Group, to be honest, Song Yuanchao has never heard of Lao Liu's name, in his impression, several famous and wealthy people in Xiangjiang, especially those who are engaged in real estate, are nothing more than Li Chaoren and others, and Lao Liu's name has never existed in Song Yuanchao's memory.
But Qin Zhengguo is different, these days in Xiangjiang, I still know some famous company groups in Xiangjiang, Miaoli Group is also famous in Xiangjiang, Miaoli originally started as a shoes, and later participated in the department store and real estate industry, and its founder Lao Liu is even more prominent.
It is normal that Song Yuanchao has not heard of Lao Liu's name, because Lao Liu went bankrupt in 1984 because of investment mistakes, Miaoli Group changed hands, and later changed its name to Belle.
Lao Liu can be said to be the first Xiangjiang businessman to eat crabs in Pengcheng, and his courage is great, and he signed an investment intention with Pengcheng last year, directly investing 15 million yuan as the investment in Pengcheng's real estate and hotel industry.
The first hotel in the history of Pengcheng - Zhuyuan Hotel was invested by Lao Liu, so when Qin Zhengguo learned that Zhuyuan Hotel already had an investor, and this investor was actually Miaoli Lao Liu, he was surprised and directly dispelled the idea of negotiating hotel investment with the Special Economic Zone, and instead discussed the construction of a factory in the Special Economic Zone.
Song Yuanchao was also very surprised by Qin Zhengguo's report, he didn't expect that he was not the first person to look at Pengcheng, let alone the first investor in Pengcheng.
Lao Liu can succeed in the business world and has such a huge influence, his vision and courage are difficult for ordinary people to surpass. Song Yuanchao just occupies the innate convenience, compared to Lao Liu, he is just a "Qian" who has long seen through other people's hole cards, but Lao Liu is the real "gambling king", a strong man who relies on his own vision and ability to sit at the table.
I have to admire such a businessman, and at the same time, Song Yuanchao also wants to have the opportunity to meet Lao Liu in person from this moment.
Now that Lao Liu has made a move, the original hotel industry has been put on hold for the time being, and the key is still the factory in Pengcheng.
After Qin Zhengguo's investment intention was released to Pengcheng, he was warmly received by Pengcheng as soon as possible, and high-level officials were sent to negotiate.
In this case, Qin Zhengguo's progress was very smooth, and it took not much time to basically give the matter of investing in the construction of the factory, and according to the meaning of the Song Yuanchao, he put forward the proposal of three links and other requirements related to land and taxation to Pengcheng.
The current Pengcheng is not the Pengcheng of later generations, and it is very enthusiastic and looking forward to the first batch of Xiangjiang patriotic businessmen like Qin Zhengguo, and there are also preferential policies in many aspects, including land transfer and taxation.
Originally, Qin Zhengguo planned to get a piece of land to build a small factory, with a total investment of no more than one million, but when Song Yuanchao thought about it for a night after learning about the specific situation, he called Qin Zhengguo directly the next day to explain to him carefully, and when he heard Song Yuanchao's explanation on the phone, Qin Zhengguo was really startled, and asked Song Yuanchao if he was joking, right?
Song Yuanchao seriously told Qin Zhengguo that this is definitely not a joke, at present, everything in the Special Economic Zone has just begun, and many policies and preferential conditions will be no longer available once they are missed, and there are predators like Lao Liu in front, if Qin Zhengguo does not show some strength and courage, not only will the limelight be suppressed, but it will not get a certain effect. What's more, the time never comes again, now is the best opportunity to adjust the slightly conservative strategy that was previously necessary.
After listening to Song Yuanchao's explanation, Qin Zhengguo, although he had doubts, finally accepted Song Yuanchao's views and re-negotiated with the SEZ side on investment.
When he learned that Shenghua Company's investment amount was so huge and determined, the SAR side was surprised and also extremely excited, and after careful discussion, he basically agreed to Shenghua Company's requirements and formally signed the agreement.
In the end, Shenghua Company asked for 300 acres of land from the SAR government to build a factory, 300 acres of land is not small, converted into 200,000 square meters, let alone build a factory, even if it is enough to build a small industrial park.
In fact, Song Yuanchao's intention was to build a small industrial park, and the remaining 200 acres of land would be planned and built in accordance with the traditional factory area of Xiangjiang in addition to 100 acres for self-use, and after the construction was completed, these factories and facilities would be directly leased to the owners of small and medium-sized factories in Xiangjiang who later invested in Pengcheng for their use.
To put it bluntly, such an operation is equivalent to the nature of Shenghua Company as a first-hand landlord, and at the same time, it can also gather popularity for the small industrial area it has set up. In addition, a commercial plot of land will be reserved nearby for the construction of a regular guesthouse and hotel for the daily needs of the area.
As for taxation, Qin Zhengguo easily obtained the preferential conditions of two exemptions and three halves in the local area, and such preferential treatment exists in the special zone throughout the country, and the policy of two exemptions and three halves can make the factories in the special zone achieve a great advantage in cost, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of goods.
In this way, the whole investment of funds far exceeds the original assumption, although Xiangjiang Shenghua Company relies on the mainland and overseas markets to make money day by day, and the funds are abundant, but it is impossible to get such a large sum of money at once.
Not to mention the rest, just the 300 acres of land plant and construction investment is huge, the funding gap is serious, but this is not a problem for Song Yuanchao at all, although Song Yuanchao did not implement capital operation in his previous life, but the basic capital operation is still very well understood, coupled with the current policy relaxation, the special zone is in urgent need of foreign investment, these gaps are easy to solve.
After taking the land, Qin Zhengguo first invested part of the funds in the name of Xiangjiang Shenghua Company as land transfer funds and early construction needs, and then directly pledged the land and the project, and made loans through the four major banks in the mainland, and used large loans to meet the needs of the later stage.
To put it bluntly, this is tantamount to using the bank's money to invest, and the mortgage is only the worthless land and the foreign exchange in the bank. Compared with the investment in the whole project, the amount of funds obtained is much higher, and in the words of later generations, it is equivalent to the wool of the bank and the locality, but in this era, it is a very formal operation.
In this way, the entire investment amount exceeded 18 million, and the Miaoli Lao Liu became the largest investment in Pengcheng by the Xiangjiang business community.
And the real capital paid by Shenghua Company on this project is only 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is converted into about 1 million yuan, and 1 million is used to leverage 18 million investment.
Compared with Qin Zhengguo, who was apprehensive in his heart, Song Yuanchao was not worried at all. Because the whole investment scale sounds very powerful, but the investment cycle is not overnight, the whole cycle is nearly three years or so, but after the first foreign exchange of Shenghua Company is hit to the domestic account, the bank can issue loans, and the interest rate of the loan is low for nothing, that is to say, from the beginning of Shenghua Company's empty gloves White Wolf got more than ten times the return of the huge funds for use.
What can't you do with this large sum of money? In addition, Shenghua Company was originally engaged in industry, and there was land, so when the factory was built, I was afraid that there would be no money to make? This deal is very easy to calculate, as long as Song Yuanchao and they don't die, they take the money to go to Ao Island to gamble, and it will be no problem to pay off the loan after three years.
