265 Go to Shekou
"Shekou Industrial Zone?" After Chen Zhiwen heard this familiar name, he immediately knew what President Liang was looking for.
Yesterday, after receiving a notice from the office of the secretary of the board of directors, Chen Zhiwen guessed that President Liang's appointment with him this time must be related to the domestic reopening.
"Yes, Chen Sheng, you also know that the central government's policy of reform and opening up this time is just such a big country, close to one billion people, things have to be done step by step, so this Shekou Industrial Zone can be regarded as a pilot for the implementation of the new economic policy in China." President Liang explained.
"I understand this, I don't know what President Liang needs me to do?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, of course he knows what the other party wants, but this kind of thing, it's better not to say it yourself, it's not for the sake of taking advantage of the follow-up negotiations, but you can't be too active, too proactive, but it may cause the other party to be suspicious, even if President Liang will not be someone else, and this will also affect the possible cooperation in the future.
"Chen Sheng, this is the case, now that Shekou Industrial Zone has just been established, there are no enterprises stationed at present, I know that Chen Sheng has a large number of different factories, do you want to consider building a new factory there, we will provide the best policy." President Liang said.
"Oh, what policy?" Chen Zhiwen asked.
"The land must be very cheap, and the area is very large, and if the policy is concerned, there will be certain tax exemptions." President Liang thought about it and said, although these have not been implemented concretely, he still knows a little.
"Okay, so when are we free to check it out?" Chen Zhiwen said that even if he wanted to invest, he couldn't decide without going to the site to see it, and he only knew that Shekou Industrial Zone was the first open industrial zone in China, but he didn't know what the situation was, so he had to go to the scene to see it.
"Chen Sheng wants to go in person?" President Liang was surprised in his heart and asked, he knows Chen Zhiwen's worth, and the place in Shekou Industrial Zone is actually nothing to look at at all, so it is better to let him send a subordinate, so that it will be easier to deal with it on his side, otherwise, the boss will go directly and look down on it, that is, there will be no chance at all.
"Of course, this is a direct investment in the mainland, even if it is a small investment, I have to take a look." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"I should be able to do whatever I want, just a few days' notice." President Liang said.
"I haven't been doing much lately, how are you doing these days?" Chen Zhiwen said casually.
"These days?" President Liang was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that so many large companies under Chen Zhiwen would be able to spare time so quickly.
"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said that the first company to invest in the mainland is not important, it is mainly that it can be named in history, and it also has great economic benefits.
"Then let's do it, I'll communicate with the staff of Shekou Industrial Zone, and when I have time, I'll inform Chen Sheng soon, how about it?" President Liang thought about it and said, no matter what, I must tell the people in Shekou in advance, give them a certain amount of time to prepare, at least everyone must discuss it.
This is the first investment involving Hong Kong business giants in the mainland, and it may also be the first time to accept overseas investment after the reopening of the country.
"Okay, tell me sooner." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
A few days later, at the gate of the Shekou Industrial Zone, several boxy and tall cars were ushered in.
"Chen Sheng, it's almost there." In a jeep in the middle, President Liang said with a smile.
"It's not far." Chen Zhiwen said.
"It's also because of Chen Sheng's jeep, there is no big problem with any road, otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast." President Liang said with a smile.
"This is not an ordinary jeep, it is an American military vehicle, which I commissioned a friend to buy from the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"Can American military vehicles be sold?" President Liang asked curiously, he was actually a soldier in the past, and naturally knew that the car he was sitting in now was much better than the current domestic military vehicle.
"Normally, you can't, but if it's a little related, it's not a problem to get a few." Chen Zhiwen said that after returning from the mainland last time, he knew that the domestic traffic situation was worse than he thought, although there is a high probability that he will often go north, Guangzhou and other big cities, but still have to make some preparations, especially in Shekou, Shenhai City, which has just developed places, he will definitely go often in the next few years, after all, this is the first stop of his manufacturing extension, and many places still need to pass through strong quality cars.
So, I entrusted Henry Morgan to find a few such cars, and finally sent a few jeeps of the same model as the US military, although they are used by the military, but after all, they are not weapons, and the restrictions are much smaller, and many off-road enthusiasts in the United States can get this kind of car.
"It's really much more convenient, if only there were such a car in China." President Liang said with a smile.
"I will keep these cars in China and put them near the Luohu port, and President Liang can directly use them if he needs them." Chen Zhiwen said.
"Thank you Chen Sheng." President Liang looked ahead and said, "When you arrive, Shekou is ahead." ”
Chen Zhiwen looked ahead, and there was a big sign standing on the side of the dirt road, which read "Shekou Industrial Zone" in five big characters.
Behind the sign, a group of people are waiting at the intersection.
The car stopped, and everyone got out of the car.
President Liang hurriedly introduced: "Chen Sheng, this is Director Yuan Geng of Shekou Industrial Zone, Director Yuan, and this is Chen Zhiwen Chen Sheng from Hong Kong. ”
"Chen Sheng, I have heard of your name for a long time, and you are very welcome to come to Shekou Industrial Zone." Yuan Geng smiled and shook hands.
"Hello, Director Yuan." Chen Zhiwen also said politely.
The success of reform and opening up, is the hard work of countless people, and this Yuan Geng also plays a pivotal role, although Shekou Industrial Zone is small, only 2 points a few square kilometers, but it is a stronghold of domestic policy to test the water, the success here, so that the city behind has taken a lot of detours, it can be said that the success of Shekou Industrial Zone, has a significant impact on the development of reform.
As the first pilot to try a new route, the difficulty can be imagined, not only lack of money and people, many things need to be cautious when making decisions, after all, no one has done anything like this before, and many eyes in the country are staring here, once something goes wrong, there will be endless pressure.
President Liang also introduced several people in Chen Zhiwen's team, mainly the two senior executives of Midea: Lei Shengli and He Guoyuan, and the others are some assistants and bodyguard drivers.
"Chen Sheng, let's invite it." Yuan Geng said.
"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded.
The group came to a brick house not far away, the floor of the house was not cement, but the earth, but there was no dust, it should have been carefully cleaned.
"Chen Sheng, the environment is a little worse, please forgive me." Yuan Geng said with some embarrassment, there is really no way, he has just taken this position, this was a wasteland before, not to mention that there is no funds, even if the money is in place, it is impossible for him to do something in less than a month.
"It's okay, just sit down." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently, in fact, he was already mentally prepared for any situation.
A few people found a few bamboo chairs and sat down, and soon someone made tea and sent it over, and the tea was filled with a metal tea jar that was popular in the 80s, with a semi-circular hand support on one side, and an engraved "advanced team of the Ministry of Railways" on the other side, the appearance was not bumped, it should be a new cup.
Under the guidance of the middleman President Liang, after everyone casually greeted each other for a while, Chen Zhiwen said: "Director Yuan, I don't know if I can go and see the location of the industrial zone?" ”
"Okay." Yuan Geng nodded and agreed, the ugly daughter-in-law will also have to see her in-laws sooner or later, and people come to see the industrial area, and they will always see each other sooner or later.
A few people walked out of the gate and walked back a hundred meters, Yuan Geng stopped and said: "Chen Sheng, the scope of our industrial zone is on the land in front of us, and it is only planning at present, and we have not started to level the land. ”
"It's not far from the sea, isn't it?" Chen Zhiwen didn't care about the wasteland in front of him with many small hills, but looked at the blue coastline in the distance and said.
"It's not far, it's only 2 kilometers away." Yuan Geng replied.
"There's no better location to build a port?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.
"Yes, we have already investigated, at least a container port with a throughput of 10 million tons can be built here, but it has not yet been built, Chen Sheng, you also know that the construction of the port is also based on demand step by step." Yuan Geng said.
"Then this port, do you think you can let me invest in it?" Chen Zhiwen looked at the seaside not far away and suddenly asked.
