On October 10, Chen Zhiwen did not go to any company because a guest was coming to the house.

"Hello, President Liang." Chen Zhiwen came to the door of the house, shook hands and introduced with a smile: "This is my father Chen Tianfu, this is my mother Wu Xiuling, parents, and this is President Liang of Xinhua News Agency." ”

"Chen Sheng, Miss Wu, two are good." President Liang shook hands with Chen's father and Chen's mother respectively, and said with a smile.

"President Liang, please come in." Chen Zhiwen walked into his home with a few people.

Chen Tianfu, Chen Zhiwen and President Liang sat on the sofa in the living room, while Wu Xiuling instructed the maid to prepare tea, and she herself left.

"Chen Sheng, I'm sorry to come to your mansion today to disturb you, but also because I have something important to discuss with you." President Liang said first.

"It's okay, I'm not busy lately, please tell me something." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently.

This is really not a lie, now its real estate companies are managed by professional professional managers, and now the real estate market is out of the high rise period, before he can advance the layout has been completed, the rest of the manager on the line.

And several industrial companies, Red Bull is still selling very well, very Coke is also okay, is initially getting rid of the absolute dependence on Costco, and the new potato chips have been selected and sent to the United States for testing. In the case of Midea, everything is normal, arcades are busy sucking dollars, and the home appliance business is also expanding rapidly, but this market is too big, and there is still a lot of room for growth.

As for the few factories in Hong Kong with a bit of technical content, they are also operating normally according to plan.

This makes Chen Zhiwen, the boss, rarely have a little leisure, and often takes potential Hong Kong sisters to go fishing in the open sea, see the scenery, and live very freely.

"That's good." President Liang didn't know whether what Chen Zhiwen said was true or not, but he obviously still gave himself face, so he said: "Chen Sheng, Xinhua News Agency is going to invite a group of successful people from Hong Kong to visit the mainland, if you are interested, you can also go to the mainland to have a look." ”

"To the mainland?" Before Chen Zhiwen could react, Chen Tianfu became excited first.

"Yes, the central government has decided that all-out economic development will be the main policy of the mainland in the future, and Hong Kong has come to the forefront of economic development, so we also hope to get guidance from Hong Kong comrades." President Liang said with a smile.

Chen Zhiwen asked, "Then who will go this time?" ”

President Leung said, "We will invite about 40 successful Hong Kong people to the mainland, among whom Bao Yugang from Global International, Hu Yingxiang from Wo Hop Industrial, Li Ka Shing from Cheung Kong Industrial, and Chen Tinghua from Nan Fung Group have already confirmed their going to the mainland."

Chen Zhiwen asked: "How many times do you want to go?" When to go? ”

President Liang said: "The preliminary estimate is half a month, and the business delegation will arrange to go to Yanjing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Chengdu and other cities, and a city will always stay for a few days. The departure time is in two weeks. ”

"Okay, I'll go too." Chen Zhiwen agreed without the slightest hesitation.

There is still a year before the official announcement of the reopening of the country, but it does not mean that the whole country has suddenly opened up from that time.

In fact, since 75 years, the mainland's foreign policy has begun to change, allowing many people to go to the mainland, especially overseas Chinese with special technology or foreign exchange.

At the same time, from the perspective of economic development, the country does need Hong Kong, whether it is the funds of the Hong Kong tycoons themselves or the overseas funds that use Hong Kong as a springboard.

And this time, for Hong Kong tycoons, it is actually an opportunity to understand the social situation in the mainland, the first time I went, the main thing is to understand, the possibility of investment is almost 0, including Chen Zhiwen is the same, not to mention before the reform, that is, after the reform, the best place to invest in the mainland is Shekou Industrial Park, other places, if it is not very important, there is no need to participate, and after 85 years, it will be much better.

"Okay, then when I have made an appointment with everyone, I will send someone to deliver the invitation here." President Liang said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

After a while, President Liang got up to say goodbye after taking a few sips of tea, and Chen Tianfu on the side asked, "Are you going to invest in China?" ”

"Investment should not, but if there are some cheap and high-quality products, I will give them some orders, and now there is a shortage of foreign exchange in China, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." Chen Zhiwen said.

"It's okay, but there is one more thing, last year I found a domestic intermediary to arrange to find your uncle, but it's been a year, and there is still no news, I think this time, you go to China, see if there is a chance to meet any energetic people, and then go to find it." Chen Tianfu said.

"A Yanjing city is much larger than Hong Kong, and the population is larger than ours, so it is really difficult to find someone directly, and there is a possibility, that is, it is not in Yanjing, in that case, it will be more difficult, if you really want to find it, you have to rely on the government." Chen Zhiwen analyzed,

"Then you mean to find President Chen?" Chen Tianfu asked.

"When I'm in China, I'll find a chance to mention it." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then you can do it." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.

As the days went by, and soon late October, the summer in Hong Kong seemed to be gone, but the rain was still frequent.

Soon it was time to negotiate with President Liang to go north, and at 10 o'clock at noon, Chen Zhiwen's motorcade arrived at the designated place, which was a small hotel in Kowloon, which had obviously been rounded up at the moment.

President Liang personally came to the door to pick up people, under his leadership, Chen Zhiwen and two bodyguards came to a large conference room in the hotel, this time the people who are going to the north basically came here, everyone sat casually, and the relationship was good.

Hong Kong's Chinese billionaires, to this year's ranking is still high, basically started by real estate, over the years Chen Zhiwen is also a frequent visitor to the Hong Kong real estate market, therefore, most of the people here also know, do not know, may only be a small role, or not a person in the business world.

Of course, there are also a few people who do business here, and Chen Zhiwen also knows each other, and the order volume of Galaxy Trade covers almost all the types of industries that can be done in Hong Kong.

But there's one person who is special.

President Liang introduced in the middle: "Chen Sheng, this is Mr. Huo Yingdong, the chairman of Huo Xingyetang Real Estate Co., Ltd., Huo Sheng, you also know this, so I won't introduce it much." ”

"Huo Sheng, hello." Chen Zhiwen stretched out his hand to shake hands and smiled.

"Chen Sheng, your name has been appearing in my ears for the past few years, and Chen Sheng's name is always indispensable in the newspaper." Huo Yingdong laughed after shaking it back.

"Where, compared to the predecessors, it's still a little worse." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

Fok Yingdong's name is well known in the Chinese business community in Hong Kong, especially in the real estate industry.

Any building is to sand, sea sand is absolutely not good, can only use river sand, Hong Kong, this place, has always been short of water, not to mention the river, can only be imported from the mainland, and Huo Yingdong because of historical reasons, mastered this channel, therefore, all the people in Hong Kong real estate businessmen need to rely on him, if anyone offends him, just don't sell sand to you, then your house may not be built.

It is true that it can be imported from overseas, but with the supply of cheap sand from the mainland, there is no need for overseas imports to support transportation measures and logistics, and a single real estate developer cannot carry out this system.

However, Huo Yingdong has never used this trick, and anyone who wants sand will be given, including British capital.

"Speaking of seniors, you know this one." Huo Yingdong said: "But he won't come here today. ”

"Huo Sheng is talking about the charter boat king?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, you have a shadow of him when you were younger, but you are younger." Huo Yingdong said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I haven't had the chance to meet the charter king." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

Bao Yugang's main business is basically not in Hong Kong, and he himself flies around the world, which is also the norm for businessmen.

And although the export amount of the United States Red Bull is very high, but they are all high-value commodities, the weight is not large, for a ship king, it is really not a big order, the large order of large freight companies, generally crude oil, ore, grain and other bulk commodities, although the proportion of container ships is also very high, but that is the demand of all factories in a large area, not a single customer.

Therefore, for several years, Chen Zhiwen has not met Bao Yugang, and there is no need to meet when there is no major event.

"There will always be a chance in the future, and after I come back from the mainland this time, I will introduce you to you when I have the opportunity." Huo Yingdong said nonchalantly.

"Okay, thank you Huo Sheng." Chen Zhiwen said, in fact, he is also very curious, after he snatches the Wharf from Jardine in the future, what will he invest in the massive amount of money that Bao Yugang's abandoned boat landing? On the Hong Kong side, there are only a few British-funded enterprises that can accommodate his capital.

At this time, Hu Yingxiang of Hehe Industry came over and said to Chen Zhiwen: "Chen Sheng, you haven't been to the mainland, have you?" ”

"Nope." Chen Zhiwen said. It is true that I have never been there in this life, and the environment in which I lived in my previous life, but the mainland in the 21st century is completely different from the 70s now, and in this world, no one can predict how powerful China will be in 50 years, and even China in more than ten years, no one can predict it.

For example, after the reform, a leader said in an interview with Western media that he only hoped that it would take 30 years to get the entire Chinese people out of hunger, and the people would no longer have to worry about having nothing to eat, but in fact, by 2010, most of the Chinese people had achieved the freedom to eat meat and vegetables.

In 2005, a central meeting predicted that China's per capita GDP would reach $2,500 by 2020, but it was more than four times that amount.

And in 2018, who said on Zhihu that domestic cars will be pressed to beat Japanese, German, American, four or five hundred thousand domestic cars in 5 years, and several brands have monthly sales of more than 10,000, BBA, Volkswagen, and Liangtian have to reduce prices a lot, but they are still beaten by domestic brands, and it is estimated that they will be considered fools.

In many cases, the pace of development in the mainland is not only beyond everyone's imagination, but even its own predictions are wrong.

Hu Yingxiang said with a smile: "That's good, the great scenery of our mainland will definitely open your eyes." ”

"Hu Sheng used to be in the mainland?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's not very often, I've been there a few times, and it's all in eastern Guangdong Province, but I haven't been to other places." Hu Yingxiang said.

"That's the same as the rest of us." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In his memory, Hu Yingxiang transferred capital from Hong Kong to the mainland on a large scale 80 years later, the main place was Guangdong Province, and the most famous was the country's first expressway: Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, which is also known as one of the most profitable expressways in later generations.

At that time, Guangdong Province, because of its good policy and proximity to Hong Kong, almost absorbed a large number of factories that moved from Hong Kong, coupled with the large number of people attracted by these factories from other places, the power shortage in Guangdong Province was unprecedentedly tight, and even needed to buy electricity from Hong Kong.

At that time, the central government also encouraged foreign investment in power plants, but the return on such large-scale infrastructure projects was too slow, and there was no overseas capital willing to invest, so only Hu Yingxiang rose to the challenge and built six large-scale thermal power stations in eastern Guangdong Province, which could provide 25% of the electricity in eastern Guangdong Province at that time.

Building roads and bridges to build power stations seems to be the obsession of Hu Yingxiang in his later years, and he has also turned a large number of his assets into domestic infrastructure projects.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, President Liang walked in again and announced that he was ready to leave, and everyone got on a few buses with their luggage.

The first two cars are more luxurious, they are invited to Hong Kong to sit on the rich, the back one is the assistants sitting, the car starts to go north, on the way everyone chats with each other about business matters or bored to play poker, and after a while, they arrive at the Luohu port, which is the first time Chen Zhiwen has come here.

Several buses apparently had already had their passes, and after a while, the port was released.

The car slowly drove out of the port and headed north, and Chen Zhiwen set foot on the land of the mainland for the "first time".
