264 Shekou Industrial Zone, which is struggling
23 December, Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong:
"There are a lot of ponds here, and it's good to come and fish once in a while." As soon as he got off the helicopter, Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
Qin Zhihao, who was also on the side, said: "Chen Sheng, it's not a good place, our previous construction team has inspected, there are many muddy grounds, very deep ones, if you don't pay attention, a person falls into it, you can't get out, and it's even more dangerous in the rainy season." ”
"Actually, it's not that it can't be developed, it's just that the Zhao family didn't have money before, and they didn't have the ability to change all this." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, there are definitely no dangerous wild animals in Hong Kong, but some natural environments, if trapped in, are also very troublesome.
"We have already built a port on this side of the sea, and the next step is to prepare to convert almost 10 hectares of land into a cattle shed, and all the feed will be imported from China Resources in the future, and China Resources' ships will be sent directly to our port from the mainland." A middle-aged woman in charge of Red Bull's milk business said that her name is Dai Ting, and she used to be a vice president of Dairy Farm International, but after the milk was acquired, Hongkong Land did not pay attention to the milk business, and then switched to Red Bull, and then took charge of the milk business that Red Bull was preparing at the beginning.
"Cattle raising, I'm not a professional, you don't need to explain it to me too clearly, I don't need to know, it's the terminal retail part, how do you plan to solve it? Dairy International, but with more than 2,000 sites in Hong Kong? Chen Zhiwen asked.
Qin Zhihao replied: "We are planning to cooperate with Hutchison's PARKnSHOP supermarket, although the number of PARKnSHOP is only 210, but it is also located in most parts of Hong Kong, and then we will use manual delivery to deliver milk." ”
"That's okay, find a way to poach people from the previous Milk International, and the delivery staff will dig everything over, otherwise we will start over by ourselves, which will be too time-consuming." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." Dai Ting agreed
"In addition, there is one more thing I almost forgot, the country has been changed, you discuss with China Resources, send a batch of very Coke into the country." Chen Zhiwen said to Qin Zhihao on the side again.
In the original history, after the domestic reform, Coca-Cola sent a batch of Coca-Cola to the country in January 79, which has also become a point mentioned in the later reform and opening up records, although it does not make any money, but it is of great significance, and no matter what, foreign capital can not be robbed of this name.
"Coke? Although the country has been reopened, it should not be possible to sell this kind of goods, right? Qin Zhihao asked.
"It's not okay to sell it to ordinary people, but it's still okay to put it in foreign stores in China, it is estimated that starting next year, there will be a large number of overseas tourists or business people going to China, they still need Coke, and as long as they go in, there will always be many people in China who will try their best to buy it." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
When foreign exchange coupons appear next year, many of them will also flow to domestic people, as long as these people hold foreign exchange coupons, they can also go to foreign stores for consumption, not to mention Coke, even imported TVs and refrigerators can be bought.
However, it is more difficult for electrical appliances to get in now, after all, the name of the foreign store is for foreigners who want to make money, and things like Coke are completely reasonable, but electrical appliances? Do you sell imported electrical appliances in China to overseas tourists who come to visit China?
"Well, we also have a lot of cooperation with China Resources, so it shouldn't be difficult to send some in." Qin Zhihao nodded and said.
"Let's go, let's go see this cattle farm." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, he really has never seen this kind of cattle farm, although there are many in the United States, but he has not been there, but in a place like Hong Kong, it is purely to ask for directions, to hone experience, and the people of Milk International themselves also have experts in this area, and so on in the future to find an opportunity in China, go to NMG such grasslands, and cooperate with local cattle to provide some experience, after all, the country is only a free-range model, in terms of cost and management, it is still not as good as centralized management.
At this time, the first batch of cowsheds has just been built, and the first batch of cows has just arrived, and there are only a dozen in total, which can be regarded as experiments.
The cows are very gentle, and they are not afraid to see people, and a group of people are having a lot of fun, and a few little girls are riding on the cow's back to play.
"Here in Tin Shui Wai, there are quite a lot of people from China, right?" This place is not big, but after turning around, Chen Zhiwen also knew that there were several mainland workers here, so he asked.
"Yes, quite a lot, Hong Kong's previous policy of resistance has attracted a lot of mainlanders to come, but the original intention of the Hong Kong government should be to attract mainlanders who can become workers, at least they need to know how to read, but many mainlanders who come to Hong Kong do not meet the requirements, and some people even can't speak Cantonese, and they can't find a job in Hong Kong at all. Qin Zhihao said.
"Then try to recruit these people as much as possible, it just so happens that we can't find many Hong Kong people to work here, if there are too many of them, we will arrange for these people to clean up those mud ponds, or let Hutchison Infrastructure send a team to come over and turn over the land here, build some paths or something." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.
In this era, many people come to Hong Kong from the mainland, but also want to find a better life, which is understandable, but there is no basic ability, in Hong Kong is actually the same as the bottom, life is unspeakable, in short, can help a little, and the salary needs of these people, must be much lower than the current Hong Kong normal people, a lot of work in the cattle farm is not technical, anyone can do it, from the company's point of view, it is also a win-win situation.
As for other places in Tin Shui Wai, it doesn't matter if you spend some money to renovate and repair some roads, this place will always have to be developed in the future, and it will be more convenient to build some roads now.
"That's no problem, but if this kind of news spreads to China, will more people run this way?" Qin Zhihao said.
"It's a long time later, don't worry." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently that in 80 years, the Hong Kong government will cancel the policy of resisting the base, and it is useless for the mainlanders to come, and it is not easy for this kind of news to reach the mainland, even if the workers here tell their families, how many people can spread it, besides, Hong Kong's quality of life is better than that of the mainland, who in the mainland? If you want to come, you will come.
"That's good." Qin Zhihao nodded in agreement.
Fast forward to 1979.
In the office of Hong Kong's Xinhua News Agency, a mysterious guest came.
"Director Yuan, you are here, you are not welcome." President Liang laughed loudly when he saw the visitor.
"Why are you still so swishing in a capitalist society like Hong Kong? Not at all as cunning as Hong Kong businessmen. Director Yuan said with a smile.
"When I see you, of course I have to swish, come, sit here." President Liang said with a smile: "Hong Kong society, it's okay to integrate into it, but you still have to keep your heart." ”
"Yes, on the way here just now, I saw so many cars, more than the most prosperous places in Yanjing City, it's really unimaginable." Director Yuan said with emotion.
"I have been in Hong Kong for a few years, Hong Kong's economy is indeed very strong, the degree of prosperity is even stronger than Shanghai, the country's reform and opening up, mainly for the development of the economy, Hong Kong, a lot of experience can still be learned." President Liang said.
"Yes, I came to Hong Kong this time to learn from experience." Director Yuan said: "The central government has prepared to build a Shekou Industrial Zone on the Nantou Peninsula in Bao'an County, as a pilot for the future development of the entire domestic economy, and I was appointed as the secretary of this industrial zone, but you also know that I don't know much about industry, and it also involves foreign investment, so I can only come to Hong Kong to ask you for help." ”
"Industrial area? How big is it? President Liang asked.
"It's about 2.15 square kilometers, and I just went to the site to see it, and I haven't started to measure the land area yet." Director Yuan said.
"It's still agricultural fields, right?" President Liang asked again.
"Yes, there is nothing now, and the central government is also short of money, let me figure it out by myself, the only thing I have is that I can make all kinds of trial and error, as it was said, as long as I don't poke the sky down, it's easy to say anything." Director Yuan said helplessly.
"If that's the case, I suggest you don't attract Western or Japanese factories, just look for Hong Kong." President Liang thought for a while and said: "Western countries come to invest, maybe there will be some special conditions, and if it is built and successful, it is better to say, if something goes wrong and it goes to the Western media, maybe you will stab the sky down."
It's much better to find someone from Hong Kong, at least everyone speaks the same language, and it's easy to discuss if something happens. ”
"That's why I'm coming to you." Director Yuan said with a smile.
"I know you must have thought of this trick a long time ago." President Liang smiled and said, in fact, this is also normal, the current situation in the mainland, if you let European and American capital invest, people may not be willing, only Hong Kong, which has the same culture and the same species, is the most suitable.
"It's useless to think of this trick, there is nothing in Shekou now, and it's useless to invite Hong Kong capitalists over, so the first step is to solve the most basic problem of three links and one leveling, otherwise there is no way." Director Yuan said.
"And what do you want to do?" President Liang can't help it for a while, they are all people who have more contact with the outside world, and naturally know that capitalists invest in the environment, and when the environment is done, people are willing to invest in the past, 2 square kilometers of land, even if it is a low-standard renovation, plus water and electricity to build roads, you can't hold it without tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
"I want to borrow money from a bank in Hong Kong." Director Yuan said with a smile.
"Loans? What do you take as collateral? President Liang was stunned and asked.
"What do you think of the benefits of the industrial zone in the future?" Director Yuan said.
"If you can get a loan for this reason, I'll write it upside down." President Liang shook his head and said: "Some companies in Hong Kong, with this trick can get a loan, very little, Hong Kong banks basically look at the collateral, want to use future income as collateral to lend, only a few companies, get a very high-quality order, the bank can agree." ”
"Quality order?" Director Yuan asked.
"It is the orders of large companies such as Midea and Galaxy, and now Hong Kong's foreign export trade, these two companies account for almost 20% of the entire Hong Kong." President Liang said.
“20%? Isn't that similar to China Resources? Director Yuan thought for a while and said, he had actually heard of Midea, a group of people in charge of foreign trade in the mainland, basically knew that this is the largest electronics company in Hong Kong, and it is also famous in Asia.
"Pretty much." President Liang thought for a while and said: "That's it, Director Yuan, I'll find a time to make an appointment with Chen Zhiwen, the chairman of Midea, his industry is very large, and your Shekou Industrial Zone is also to attract foreign investment, if you can persuade him to go, then all the problems will be easy to say, and the bank will definitely lend money." ”
"Really? Are you sure to convince Chen Zhiwen? Director Yuan said with a smile.
"You guy, you dug this pit for me to jump a long time ago, right, just waiting for me to say this?" President Liang said with a smile.
"You also said that this is the best way to break the game, but I don't know Chen Zhiwen, so I can only rely on you." Director Yuan laughed.
"Forget it, I will be cheated if I am cheated, and for the success of reform and opening up, it is worth it for me to be cheated." President Liang said: "Chen Zhiwen went to the mainland last year, and signed cooperation agreements with many factories in the mainland, and it is said that they have also started to cooperate, and the country has also begun to export some textiles. ”
"Yes, breaking the game is the hardest, I have thought about it for a long time, and I can only think of finding a well-known person to invest in, so as to attract other people." Director Yuan said.
"Okay, then I'll be cheeky and try it, you better go back and prepare first, in case Chen Zhiwen wants to go to Shekou to have a look, not to mention anything else, there must be a place for hospitality, right?" President Liang said.
"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare now, if you have good news, send someone to report to the Bao'an County Government immediately, and they will contact me." Director Yuan said.
"Shekou doesn't have a phone yet?" President Liang was surprised and asked: "You don't even have a phone number, even if I find a bunch of capitalists for you to see, you still have to contact them like this?" ”
"I didn't even pull the wire, and you still expect me to install the phone? All I can think about now is that if Chen Zhiwen or others go to Shekou for an investigation, it would be nice if I could provide a little tea. Director Yuan said helplessly.
"Okay, let's do this first, I'll prepare some mineral water then." President Liang is also very helpless, but also heartbroken, after staying in Hong Kong for so many years, even if he goes to China, it is also Yanjing and Shanghai and other big cities, and now when he suddenly heard these words, he remembered that in most places in China, there is no electricity.
Economy, it's just too difficult.
"Mineral water? Okay, too. Director Yuan nodded, he had seen mineral water in Hong Kong before, and he always felt that it was too luxurious, water was just selling so expensive, and now it seems that it was originally used for this purpose.
After Director Yuan left, President Liang thought for a moment, and then dialed the phone.
