338 Go to Yanjing and the Courtyard House
The time soon came to February, after the Chinese New Year, Chen Zhiwen was ready to go to the mainland, this time to Yanjing City, different from the last time, not by the invitation of the central department, but his several large-scale investments in Yanjing City are about to start, so he is ready to go.
accompanied by Chen Tianfu, who wanted to visit his relatives and travel in China by the way.
"I heard that Bao Yugang wants to donate a hotel in Yanjing City, and it has passed?" Chen Tianfu took twice the orange juice from the bar, handed it to his son, sat on the airline chair opposite, and asked.
"Yes, it's passed, the name is still Zhaolong Hotel." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, donated tens of millions of dollars to build a five-star hotel, but because he wanted to use his old man's name as the title, he was stuck, and after waiting for more than a year, he finally passed.
"This is also good news, indicating that China attaches more importance to the introduction of foreign investment." Chen Tianfu smiled and said.
"That is, the change started, of course, it will only get better and better." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
On the mainland side, in fact, the impact is not very large, but in eastern Guangdong Province or Shenhai City, the economy began to become significantly stronger, a large number of foreign capital into investment, not only brought a large number of jobs but also brought foreign exchange and taxes, the living standards of the local people have also improved a lot, which is seen by the central high-level eyes, however, the management of a city and a country are two different things, the city can be reformed by leaps and bounds, especially the predecessor of Shenhai City is just a poor county, which is completely fearless, but a big country needs to be cautious. It needs to be taken step by step, and some uncertainty before 84 years is actually the reason.
"During this time, I communicated with some departments in Shenhai City, and they were happy to accept me to invest, but as you estimated, the funds they could accept were also limited, and in the end I only decided to build an office area in the southern suburbs of Shenhai City, a total of 12 buildings, plus two apartment buildings, mainly to rent to investors from Hong Kong to Shenhai City, or some overseas institutions." Chen Tianfu said again.
"14 buildings, that shouldn't cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, right?" Chen Zhiwen asked, the price of Hong Kong buildings is actually mainly in the land, if there is no low price, there will be a lot of profit after the house price is cut in half.
"Four or five billion Hong Kong dollars, if you borrow from the bank, one or two hundred million actual investment is enough." Chen Tianfu said with a smile.
"Almost, the GDP of Shenhai City is only three or four billion, which is equivalent to a year's GDP." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, this is also why, although he knows that the future of Shenhai City is bright, but Chen Zhiwen has not invested on a large scale, because at present, this is just a small town, and it can't accommodate too much capital.
For Shenhai City, in addition to some of the most basic, other large-scale investment, Chen Zhiwen is ready to wait a few years, real estate is secondary, industrial investment is the majority, but the current Shenhai City, although there is the support of the state, but all kinds of supporting facilities, high-quality personnel capacity and number are still far inferior to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Therefore, his large industrial investment still needs to be placed in a big city like Yanjing, and the main advantage of investment in Shekou is that it can be sole proprietorship, but also because of supporting reasons, basically the projects in Shekou are very simple products.
"There's not much to invest in, so I'm going to go to Wanwan and try it, what do you think?" Chen Tianfu asked again.
"You can go, I estimate that over there in Wanwan, housing prices will continue to rise in the past ten years, and Wharf and Hutchison will also invest appropriately in the past, but mainly supermarkets and shopping malls." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.
In the next ten years, but the golden period of Wanwan's development, especially the transfer of low-end manufacturing in the West, some of them will be eaten by Wanwan, and at the same time, Wanwan itself is also competing, and has won a lot of orders for electronic products.
The collection of so many industries will inevitably lead to a better economy, and the real estate market, which is a cancer of Asian economies, will naturally rise.
"Well, after I go back from the mainland, I'll go to Wanwan to have a look." Chen Tianfu nodded and said.
"This time in the mainland, I estimate that many people will take the initiative to find you, if there are any good projects, you can also try." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, now that there is a strong shortage of foreign exchange in China, Hong Kong businessmen basically want to invest, which is also the norm.
"You've all invested so much, I won't participate, and it's all hotels, so it's not too interesting." Chen Tianfu said.
"It's casual." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently, he can only invest in hotels in big cities in China, which actually makes many real estate giants unable to start, many companies actually have no experience in this area, so they naturally refuse to make a move, even Chen Zhiwen knows the future, so he entrusted Hu Yingxiang to find cooperation in China, and he himself is not very interested.
The plane soon came to the airport outside Yanjing City, this time, Chen Zhiwen also asked not to be too high-profile, not many people know, only relevant departments and Midea's relevant people in China came to pick up the plane.
"A Boeing 747, as a private jet, Mr. Chen's financial resources are really amazing!" Lin Juntao, deputy director of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, who took the lead this time, saw the private jet falling from the sky from behind the glass of the VIP standby room and sighed. As the second-in-command of a domestic department, he naturally knows the price of a 747.
"Lao Lin, this is just a drop in the bucket, if you look at the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway, an investment of one billion dollars is nothing, but I heard that one of his supermarkets in the United States is worth as much as 3 billion US dollars." Director Xu of the Ministry of Communications said with a smile.
"A $3 billion supermarket? I've never heard of this, a supermarket can be worth $3 billion? Isn't that more than our country's foreign exchange reserves? Lin Juntao said in surprise. You must know that last year, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 1.5 billion US dollars, and the total import and export trade of the whole country was only more than 20 billion US dollars, which is a country's export and procurement data, that is, several times that of other supermarkets.
"Yes, the son of an old employee in our department went to study in Los Angeles, USA, and during his studies, he went to work in this supermarket, so he knew these things." Director Xu said.
"I see." Lin Juntao nodded and said, in China, it is not difficult for them to want to know about foreign things, but if there are so many things abroad, if they don't ask, of course they won't know.
"This Mr. Chen is still very good to us, not only in the country to invest a lot, build bridges and roads, build universities, overseas students, can also go to his supermarket to work, the income is not low, but also food, eat in the United States, in fact, it is very expensive, otherwise, we send students to the United States, life will be sad." Director Xu said again.
These people have also been to foreign countries for investigation, and probably know a little about overseas prices, while the international students sent to China can basically only give a few dollars of living expenses per person, and they bring a lot of food with them, unless they have a special relationship in the family or have relatives they know overseas, or immediately find a part-time job, otherwise, they will not be able to live overseas at all.
"There's another thing, then we have to pay more attention to this reception, if we can get this person to invest a little more, or work for more overseas students, it will be worth it." Lin Juntao nodded and said.
"Let's go, the plane has stopped, and it is estimated that it will be out of the VIP channel soon." Director Xu said.
"Okay." After hearing this, Lin Juntao immediately took out the cigarette in his hand and beckoned everyone to greet him.
In the VIP passage, after Lin Juntao received the visiting Chen Zhiwen and his party, he took a few people to the residence. This time is not invited by the central government, naturally it is impossible to live in the state guesthouse, Yanjing City is currently under construction there are several hotels, but they have not been completed, but fortunately, Chen Zhiwen has already made arrangements, last year, he commissioned people to look for high-quality courtyard houses in Yanjing City, and now he has purchased no less than ten, and the largest one has naturally become his future place in Yanjing City.
The official who received it was also very discerning, and he would not come over to talk about business on the first day, and after delivering the purpose, he arranged for the nearby patrol police to take care of him before leaving.
"It's cold." After Chen Tianfu entered the room, the gap between hot and cold air made him tremble immediately, and even Chen Zhiwen couldn't stand it a little.
"This winter is indeed very cold, Yanjing City, the coal is sold out, the government is also encouraging everyone not to turn on the heating to the maximum, or several families try to squeeze in one room, not only Yanjing is cold, the whole north is the same, but fortunately it is only a little cold now, if this is put aside in ancient times, I don't know how many people will die." Uncle Chen Tianshou also shuddered for a while and said.
"Isn't there enough coal in the country?" Chen Zhiwen asked. This year is a cold winter in China, but in fact, even in a normal year, the winter of the 80s is very cold, much colder than a few decades later, especially people in the south, if it is the post-80s, you should remember that you can walk in the river when you were a child, but in the 21st century, it is good to have a little thin ice occasionally.
"Enough should be enough, but the heavy snow closes the road, and the transportation may be a little slower, but it should be better after a while." Chen Tianshou said.
"This kind of weather is really difficult for ordinary people." Chen Tianfu nodded and said. They also suffered like this when they were children.
"A rare winter, when this time is over, it is estimated that various departments will prepare the next response plan, but our agriculture, some places have suffered a lot of losses." Chen Tianshou said.
"In terms of agriculture, I can't help much, but if I have a cooperative farmer, those who grow fruits, if they encounter great difficulties, I can help a little bit and advance a little money for future purchases." Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said.
This is not bad for yourself, but also to win a good customer reputation, after all, for Party B, Party A is not falling into the well is very good, as long as they do a good job of Party A, then they can also attract more and better Party B to cooperate with themselves. And this can also make your uncle's work a little better.
"Okay, I'll thank Arwen for these people." Chen Tianshou immediately said with a smile.
"Hey, Awen, your house is heated by electricity? I don't see any coal burning nearby? Chen Tianfu looked around and said suddenly.
"No, this courtyard is the largest, and I want to change this place into a place where I can live, so the exterior has been renovated, whether it is heating or cooling, it is from a house at the back of the courtyard, and the cold and hot water are sent over through the water pipe for circulation, so as to ensure the original flavor of the courtyard as much as possible." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.
"That's not bad, how big is this quadrangle?" Chen Tianfu asked.
"More than 1,800 square meters, it is the largest courtyard in the vicinity." Chen Zhiwen replied with a smile.
