When they arrived on the other side, the group immediately changed cars, because the mainland is left-hand drive, Hong Kong is right, different driving habits, it is easy to have problems, for the mainland, the present are all distinguished guests, can not be out of the situation.

To Chen Zhiwen's surprise, the bus is still luxurious, the same as before, the bus is full of airline seats, and it can also be turned into a non-flat bed, and the space is also sufficient.

Later, after chatting with the people around him, I learned that Huo Yingdong had donated this car to China a long time ago, and he estimated that he had already known that there would be this demand in China, and he had already ordered these luxury buses from overseas.

After changing trains, the bus headed north again, and in less than a while, the road changed and became a dirt road.

After a while, the people in the car were bumped and couldn't stand it, but everyone is also highly qualified, knowing that it is not convenient to complain at this time, no matter how uncomfortable it is, originally everyone got together to play cards, and now they have already met everyone, and they don't even dare to drink water, because when they drink, the water may be turned upside down.

Chen Zhiwen doesn't care, although he has also been "pampered" in recent years, he has also made this kind of bus in his previous life, but it was already the 90s, much better than the road outside, at this moment looking through the window, the road outside is an ordinary dirt road, plus some stones, and it has obviously rained recently, and the road is full of mud puddles, which may be a little better than the road opened by Ao Debiao in Douyin in the later generations.

The car passed through the pit, which naturally made the group of people in the car very uncomfortable, but fortunately this is a luxury bus, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable.

After another 3 hours, the car finally arrived at its destination, which is a hotel composed of several three-story buildings, but if you don't look at the signs outside, if you put it in Hong Kong, it will only make people think that this should be the staff dormitory of a factory.

After getting off the bus, everyone suddenly felt refreshed, and Chairman Liang said, "Everyone. It's getting dark, let's stay here for one night, and then we set off tomorrow, as long as we get to Guangdong, where there are hotels and airports, it will be much more convenient. ”

Isn't it early?

Everyone looked at the sun in the sky, and then looked at their watches, it was only half past three, but thinking about the situation on the road just now, it was reasonable, and after walking for a few hours, they couldn't stand it, the people present, in fact, Chen Zhiwen was a little younger, and most of the others were forty or fifty years old, and with the situation on the road outside, if it was dark, the car was really a little uneasy.

The guests were as they pleased, and everyone obeyed the arrangement and was arranged to their own rooms.

Looking at the situation of the guest house that can only be found on the Internet in later generations, Chen Zhiwen couldn't help but smile, and immediately began to sort out his luggage, and after a while, an outdoor tent was set up.

"Chen Sheng, what are you doing here?" Li Jiacheng saw Chen Zhiwen's fiddling outside, and walked in curiously and asked.

"The mosquitoes here are not vegetarians." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

"Mosquitoes?" Li Jiacheng's face changed, he never seemed to care about this kind of problem in Hong Kong, but when Chen Zhiwen said it, he found that the hotel here did not seem to have mosquito nets.

"I've got some mosquito coils here, so let's separate." Chen Zhiwen said.

In later life, he read some autobiographies on the Internet, which told that a year or two after the reopening, the mainland at that time was not ready for hospitality, and some rich people went to the mainland, to Yanjing and Shanghai, there is no problem, but if you go to a small city like the deep sea, it will be completely different.

It is said that Bao Yugang stayed in a hotel in the deep sea for one night, and the next afternoon he had to go back to Hong Kong because he couldn't stand the environment of the hotel and the mosquitoes.

This is still after the reopening, and now it is still a year before the reopening, and when he learned that he would go to Guangdong first, and then take a plane to other cities, he prepared what he should prepare.

"There's not even a mosquito coil here?" Li Jiacheng said with some disbelieving.

"There should be, but it shouldn't be this almost tasteless, you should be prepared first, and use it in case you need it." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Okay, thank you." Li Jiacheng took the mosquito coil with a smile, and then walked to the other rooms.

Before it got dark, the waiter called everyone to dinner, and everyone wondered if it was too early, but considering that maybe it was the habit here, they didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the evening, when I saw the mosquitoes all over me, that I understood everything.

Each of the waiters took some straw and put it in a metal basin, and after it was lit, the smoke rose, and the waiter closed all the doors and windows of the room, and after a while, everyone could go in, and then the waiter held buckets of hot water and showered everyone

The next day, Chen Zhiwen got up early and put away the tent and came downstairs to have breakfast, the things were very simple, porridge and buns, meat and cabbage buns.

Li Jiacheng walked over with tired eyes and sat opposite Chen Zhiwen. Chen Zhiwen asked, "Li Sheng, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"Don't mention it, it's all mosquitoes, or Chen Sheng is thoughtful and brought a tent." Li Jiacheng said.

Chen Zhiwen said with a smile: "It's just a little preparation, not necessarily used." ”

In fact, the country must want to entertain a group of people, but not in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the resources are really limited, besides, the domestic hospitality is still different from the expectations of their group of people.

"Just go to Yuezhou today, the hotels there are about the same as the star level in Hong Kong." President Liang also said apologetically.

No way, was going to go directly to the foreign hotel in Guangdong yesterday, but the day before yesterday it suddenly rained heavily, the traffic on the road was affected, considering the safety after dark, had to temporarily find a guest house located in the middle of the location, some aspects of food can be mobilized, but other supporting facilities are difficult.

But fortunately, it's not summer, otherwise, if there is no air conditioning, the first impression of this group of people coming to the mainland will definitely be seriously affected.

"It's okay, when I was a child, it was actually worse than this, but I haven't experienced it for a long time." Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "Hong Kong's past is actually not as good as here, maybe as long as it takes twenty or thirty years, the mainland's economy can also develop." ”

"Haha, I hope Li Sheng's words can come true." Chairman Liang laughed, although he thought it was unlikely, Li Jiacheng's words still made him very happy.

After breakfast, everyone set off again, close to Yuezhou City, the quality of the road seems to have improved, after a while, it will be on a cement road, although there are potholes, but much stronger than before, the villages around the road are becoming more and more dense, after a while, they arrived at the destination of Yuezhou City - Dongfang Hotel.

This is the hotel prepared by the Guangdong Municipal Government in order to entertain the foreign guests of the Canton Fair, many of which are built according to the habits of overseas people, and there are also a number of cars outside the hotel, which is very rare in the mainland.

At this time, a group of people walked out of the door of the hotel, led by a very old man, and I saw him say enthusiastically: "I am Ma Weiliang, the director in charge of the Foreign Trade Department of Guangdong, and I welcome the arrival of Hong Kong compatriots on behalf of everyone. ”

When Chen Zhiwen was introduced, Ma Weiliang said: "Mr. Chen, I am in Guangdong, and I have heard of your great achievements in Hong Kong, but it really has grown the face of our Chinese." ”

"Director Ma has won the award." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, in the past two years, China has begun to loosen its foreign policy, and Director Ma is an official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and he is still staying in Guangdong, which is the closest to Hong Kong, and it is estimated that Hong Kong newspapers can be easily obtained, and it is normal to know some major events in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Chen, we have a lot of daily necessities factories in Guangdong, you have to choose carefully, and we can export if there is a suitable one." Ma Weiliang said with a smile.

"No problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In the evening, many big leaders of eastern Guangdong Province and Yuezhou City also came to the Dongfang Hotel and had very official talks with all the Hong Kong businessmen.

The environment of the Oriental Hotel, although not as good as the five-star hotels in Hong Kong, but after last night, everyone felt that this place was simply paradise, and after a night of restful sleep, after breakfast the next morning, everyone was ready to go.

At this time, President Liang came over and asked: "Chen Sheng, there is a situation, the business group will be divided into two groups, one group will go to see the city of Yuezhou to see all kinds of infrastructure, and the other group will go to see all kinds of factories, I don't know how you are going to arrange it?" ”

The way of distribution is very simple, Hong Kong's real estate companies to see the infrastructure, mainly roads, urban layout these, the current domestic urban management, has encountered a lot of problems, but also urgently need the guidance of overseas experienced people, although these real estate developers do not necessarily understand urban management, but know how to make money, know how to develop a city in order to sustainable development, these people's opinions will be very helpful to urban development.

In fact, the development of urbanization in China in the 80s was much like the process of urbanization in Hong Kong's early years.

On the other hand, I went to see all kinds of factories in Hong Kong, the current domestic economy is not very good, many of the products produced cannot be sold, and if you want to export overseas, you can't try many times.

Originally, it was enough for two teams to lead the two teams of people, but Chen Zhiwen's identity was a little special, and he could go on both sides, so he naturally had to ask.

Chen Zhiwen said: "Let's go to the industrial zone to have a look, I don't understand the urban infrastructure. ”

For real estate, the real core he doesn't even know a skin, the operation in Hong Kong is to rely on knowing the history and strong capital to spend money, and many real estate developers, especially a generation of real estate developers, are relying on their own vision to lock in wealth, especially when they just started, limited funds, is to rely on the understanding of urban development, at that time has not yet developed and predicted that the next few years will develop well in the place to make a large investment, and then make a lot of money, which is the first or second pot of gold.

But for the industrial sector, Chen Zhiwen can be a little helpful, because now in China, except for a few large factories that are engaged in heavy industry, the rest are light industry civilian products, at least more than half of which can be supplied to supermarkets.

"Okay, then Chen Sheng will follow my group." President Liang said.

Chen Zhiwen asked: "President Liang also went to see the industry?" ”

"Yes, economic development still depends mainly on industry, and Hong Kong's industry used to develop before it can be gradually urbanized." President Liang said with a smile.

"Well, industry is the first thing that matters." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, this point of view is almost always correct for him, industry first, if there is no industry, all the economy is just a castle in the air, especially for a populous country like the mainland.

The two teams were separated, this time they did not make a bus, but a few cars, and the word "Shanghai" was behind the tail, which should be the more famous Shanghai brand car in China before the change, that is, the predecessor of SAIC, which was a joint venture with Volkswagen a few years later.

The car is very bumpy, Chen Zhiwen is sitting in it, it seems that the car can feel the pressure on the stones, but fortunately this is Guangdong City, relatively speaking, the road surface is much stronger, but the car is very slow, it is estimated that it is only forty or fifty yards, which is slightly stronger than yesterday's bus.

Chen Zhiwen also found some topics to kill time with President Liang, and after a while, the car came to the door of a factory, and a sign was hung at the door of the factory: Yuezhou No. 1 Textile Factory welcomes Hong Kong compatriots to come and visit.

After the group got out of the car, a local official next to President Liang immediately introduced the two sides to each other, and after a polite exchange, everyone followed the factory director surnamed Pan into the factory.

Under the introduction of Director Pan, Chen Zhiwen and others also knew that the No. 1 Textile Factory in Yuezhou City, where they are located, is a state-owned enterprise that has been born for 25 years, mainly producing all kinds of cotton textiles, wool textiles, silk, as well as printing and dyeing and making clothing, winter clothes, and quilts.

The employees in the factory, including workers, administrative and logistics, are almost more than 10,000 people, accounting for more than 50% of the surrounding labor force.

"Ten thousand workers?" Chen Zhiwen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it, his Midea Industrial Park in Hong Kong, covering almost all of his factories, was less than 20,000 people.

"Yes, here in Guangdong, our first textile factory is the largest enterprise, and its products are also exported to the Northeast." Director Pan said with a sense of honor.

"Chen Sheng, your Galaxy Trade also purchases a large number of clothing products in Hong Kong and Wanwan, why don't you go in and have a look, if there is a suitable one, we can also supply overseas." Section Chief Dong, who was in charge of the introduction just now, said suddenly.

"Yes, Chen Sheng can take a look." President Liang also hurriedly said that as a foreign cadre who has been in Hong Kong for several years, he knows better than many people in China how strong Chen Zhiwen's influence is, not to mention the two giants of Hutchison and Midea, which is a galaxy trade, and the demand for all kinds of daily necessities makes hundreds of such enterprises in Hong Kong live very nourishingly.

These demand products are some clothing, hardware tools, food and other simple goods, the technical content is very low, domestic factories, can be made, but there is no channel to do this kind of business with Europe and the United States.

"Okay, if there is a suitable one, I can arrange for Hong Kong to place an order for this side." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, the purpose of his own Galaxy Trade, but this is it, now the scale is not large enough, in another four or five years, when Costco and Wal-Mart will double the scale several times, and at the same time, Galaxy Trade will work hard to enter the supply chain of other supermarkets in Europe and the United States, then maybe their annual orders for light industry daily necessities will be able to exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

What is the concept of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, 2 billion US dollars, or every year and has been growing, as long as he has this, he will attach great importance to his arrival anywhere in China or Southeast Asian countries, and even in terms of status, it will not be lower than Bao Yugang, the king of ships.

After all, even if he is the king of ships, Bao Yugang's order cannot place an order of 2 billion US dollars a year, and it is impossible at his peak, let alone that he will abandon the boat and land in the 80s.

"Chen Sheng, please inside." Director Pan also attaches great importance to foreign exchange, and with foreign exchange, he can buy more advanced equipment overseas.
