"Then Wharf is like this first, with these two directions as the main operating goals, other businesses, like Hutchison, Midea, Red Bull, if your management thinks it is feasible, you can try to see, we can hope that we will discuss." Chen Zhiwen continued.

"Okay, then I'll prepare for privatization first, and then I'll talk about the rest of the matter." Zhao Lilin nodded and said.

Chen Zhiwen continued: "The same is true for Huang, the previous directions continue to develop, how is the progress of the mining exploration company? ”

Zhou Jiayang replied: "We have locked in two mining exploration companies, one in Europe and one in the United States, these two companies do not have any land exploration rights, they are pure exploration companies, specializing in undertaking this kind of task internationally, if you quote $55 million, one $70 million, considering the price, we will need a while to settle." ”

"How's their technology?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"It's not top, but it's all a good level, and the really top in the industry has actually been acquired by oil or mining giants." Zhou Jiayang replied.

"Okay, keep an eye on this, but don't delay too long." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

"Okay, it should be decided in two or three months." Zhou Jiayang said.

"There is also the matter of domestic infrastructure, this matter also needs to be the main force of Huang Lai, Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway is our first large-scale investment project in China, as soon as possible with the mainland to decide, in addition, the first construction can only do two-way four-lane high-speed, but at the time of land acquisition, it is necessary to acquire all 8 lanes of land, ready to prepare for future expansion." Chen Zhiwen said again.

As the busiest highway in the country in the future, connecting Yanjing and Tianjin, the two megacities, two-way 4 lanes is definitely not enough, but now the cost of building 8 lanes is too high, and the first 20 years may be a waste of resources, therefore, first prepare the corresponding land on the line, and then expand when needed in the future, and with the financial resources of Hutchison in the future, even if more funds are needed for expansion at that time, the proportion will definitely be much smaller than the scale of Hutchison.

"The two-way lane can basically accommodate the demand of tens of thousands of vehicles a day, and there will be so many trucks in China in the future?" Zhou Jiayang asked curiously.

"The domestic highway is now being built for trucks, but as long as the economy develops, the number of cars will increase exponentially, which I absolutely believe, so prepare the land first, with the current domestic situation, it will not cost much." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

In fact, it is not only outsiders who doubt the future achievements of the country, but also the first batch of people who implement the reform in China, and their ultimate goal is to make the country reach the level of developing countries in the world, such as Brazil, where ordinary people can work normally, and then they don't have to worry about not eating, and meat can be eaten once a few days and so on.

It's just that the development achievements behind are so high, no one can imagine, the development of China can be said to be a miracle, and even ordinary people are accustomed to the rapid growth of the economy every year, but looking at the world, the economy of most countries is a pool of stagnant water, and even regress every year, once a major grain exporter, in the 21st century, the presidential election slogan, is actually to let every Brazilian eat, this sentence makes many people feel incredible, but it is a reality.

"Okay, now in China, there is indeed no concept of land value, if the economy really develops, even if it is the economic level of some countries in Southeast Asia, then the expansion of the highway will indeed cost a lot of money." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

"In addition, there should be no problem with the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, Yanjing needs a large foreign investment project to stabilize the results, Yanjing Tianjin does need this high-speed, this investment cooperation to talk about a decisive point, some small problems do not need to be too concerned, I want to use this cooperation as a template, so that if other places also need to build high-speed, the first thing I want to find is us." Chen Zhiwen continued.

At present, between the big cities in China, many of them have logistics and transportation problems, especially far, transportation of goods, but also need to go from the center of many cities in the middle, this problem existed until the 90s, Chen Zhiwen remembered that when he was a child, he took a bus from a city in the south of Jiangsu Province to Xuzhou in the north, and passed through many county-level cities and cities in the middle, and also encountered various problems such as traffic jams. At night, a group of people huddled in the car and slept in the service area.

If inter-provincial transportation, the efficiency, time, fuel consumption are unbearable, the first two can also be said to be able to solve internally, but fuel consumption is not the same, oil can be exchanged for dollars, and trucking materials, it consumes a lot of foreign exchange, if it is an export commodity, itself is a low-profit type, fuel consumption is a little more than there is no play, not to mention, trucks, is also an important production material, equivalent to foreign exchange.

Therefore, if you want to make the economy develop rapidly, the highway is the most important link, and reducing transportation costs can make goods more costly transportation, reduce prices and earn foreign exchange more conveniently. Otherwise, only coastal cities will be able to develop after the reopening.

"Okay, I'll try to negotiate this within a few months as well." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

"Okay, then let's do it first, on the side of Galaxy, the main task at present is to transfer some orders to China as much as possible, reduce costs while ensuring quality, and then find high-quality suppliers in the future, and then invest in cooperation." Chen Zhiwen said.

Galaxy used to have a lot of business, but the main force was definitely a trading company, which has now become one of the main sources of orders for Hong Kong industry, and even has a great influence on Wanwan and some parts of Southeast Asia. As for the real estate sector, Chen Zhiwen is ready to wait for the real estate crisis to slowly and gradually transform into a rental collection company like Hongkong Land, also because the capital market has become larger, and if too much capital is used in Hong Kong, it is impossible to achieve a tenfold performance in a few years as when the scale was small.

In the future, its real estate companies, including Hutchison and Wharf, will gradually let go after the development of their own land and turn to holding properties, but it is not to withdraw from the real estate industry, and they will still do it when they encounter properties that can be acquired, companies, or high-quality land, after all, there are so many skyscrapers in Hong Kong in the future, and the rent collection is also very fragrant, and some super buildings can even reach half of the level of Harbour City in terms of rental income.

"Understood." Xu Jinhong, the person in charge of Galaxy Group, nodded and said that in the first two years of Galaxy's establishment, the business of trade was far worse than the income of real estate, but now, although the real estate business has doubled, the trade side has increased exponentially, and if the group is getting bigger and bigger, the return of Hong Kong real estate is also limited, and it is impossible for such a large community to let them develop again, and it is indeed the only choice to hold property.

"Okay, then, everyone will do things according to these plans, I'm going to the United States soon, maybe for a while, I hope there will be better news when I come back." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.

"Chen Sheng, rest assured, we will do our best to complete your arrangement." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile.

In mid-April, Chen Zhiwen took a Cathay Pacific plane for the last time to the United States.

The reason why it is the last time is because the 747 on Boeing's side has been decorated, and it is waiting for Chen Zhiwen, the boss, to inspect the goods.

However, he did not go directly to see the plane, but went to Los Angeles because Apple Inc. is about to be listed on the NASDAQ.
