At the third ring road in the northeast of Yanjing, a huge construction site is busy with construction, a large number of construction machinery is operating in an orderly manner, and at the same time, thousands of workers are also doing their own things, and the entire construction site is completely different from other places.

"The rest of the world seems to be stopped?" On the side of the car, Liu Xiaoli looked nearby and said.

Some of them, today came to Yanjing International Trade Center to see the progress of the construction, this big project, the amount of investment is second only to the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, started construction last year, and it is also tracked by Hutchison's professional team, Zhou Jiayang has also been here a few times, but since the start of construction, Chen Zhiwen has not been here, this time because of a number of important things to Yanjing, then naturally take a day, come here to see.

"I guess because it's been the last two years, the investment is overheated!" Chen Zhiwen also looked at several construction sites around the International Trade Center, compared with the International Trade Center, although the scale itself is far from comparable, but the difference is too great, there is almost no movement inside the construction site, and there is no equipment running, a little abnormally quiet.

Although in recent years, the domestic economic development is very good, especially in Shenhai City, it can be said that it is the same every year, other domestic large cities, especially those with more foreign economic and trade cooperation, have also followed suit, and a large number of new buildings have begun to start, but this is far beyond the scope of domestic finance, so it has begun to cool down investment.

"Mr. Chen is right, the central government has ordered this year to strictly control investment, including in industry." A 40-year-old man who was with Chen Zhiwen and others said.

"Industrial investment is also going to cool down?" Chen Zhiwen asked curiously. It was two days ago that I went to climb the Great Wall, and I was accompanied by a director of the tourism bureau, and today I came here as a serious matter, and naturally there were people following, and the one in front of me was a deputy director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, surnamed Zhang.

"Yes, many local factories produce the same product at the same time on a large scale, and everyone likes to make money, especially many have also applied for foreign exchange, which not only causes overcapacity, but also causes foreign exchange losses, so it is the same as civil engineering, and it has begun to be properly controlled." Director Zhang explained that although he is from housing and construction, in Yanjing City, some major events that have happened in China are basically known to those who have a certain position and relationship here.

And his relationship is not ordinary, otherwise he would not have been sent to accompany Chen Zhiwen, a super-rich man in Hong Kong.

Maybe it's also because the people who accompanied him a few days ago were all older leaders in the department, but they were all older and couldn't talk to Chen Zhiwen, so I sent a relatively young one today, but it can't be too young, in case I don't have the experience to say the wrong thing and offend people, it will be embarrassing.

"Well, the construction project near here, if it's because of lack of money, you can also go to Hutchison, and we can also invest." Chen Zhiwen said casually.

The International Trade Center, in the future, is the most prosperous commercial area, and it can even be said that the vicinity of the North and North Third Ring Road of Yanjing can become the center of the CBD in the future, and it is precisely because the International Trade Center is here that there is the earliest International Trade Center, and other CBD office buildings will be built nearby.

With my current situation, I don't want to discuss with China specifically for the land in this vicinity, and if I want to come forward myself, it usually has to be a super big project, but it doesn't matter if I just take advantage of the other party's lack of money to invest by the way.

"That's good, all these projects can be started." Director Zhang said with a smile.

The domestic crackdown on overheated investment is aimed at the internal, because most projects are not started when there is money, but similar to the model in Hong Kong or abroad, with future earnings as collateral, apply for funds from above or banks, and then repay them after they are completed. This is true whether it is a civil project or a factory, the difference is the factory, and it may also involve foreign exchange.

In this model, if everything is okay and the future income is considerable, it is naturally very good, but if there is a problem, it may cause big problems in the treasury or the bank.

At present, many cities, especially those with more foreign-related interests, have adopted this model, developed rapidly, and learned from Shenhai City, but there is Hong Kong near the deep sea, and there are also a large number of factories that have migrated over, and the income is stable and considerable, but other cities are not necessarily.

When the above found this problem, it began to rectify it, but foreign investment did not have the slightest impact, because the funds of foreign investment came from overseas, and it could even bring foreign exchange, taxes, and employment to the country, which helped the domestic economy. Therefore, the International Trade Center is still in a hurry to start construction nearby, and even in order to speed up the progress, the nearby workers who have stopped work have been called over, which can be regarded as helping the Yanjing Municipal Government solve part of the employment problem.

As for the buildings near the International Trade Center, if the construction is invested by Hong Kong capital, then the central government will not take care of it, and even encourage it, and no one will refuse foreign exchange without other special conditions.

"Director Zhang, I'll send someone to visit you tomorrow." Zhou Jiayang on the side also said.

Over the years, in addition to investing in a few large projects arranged by Chen Zhiwen in the mainland, some small ones are also a lot of them, these are the company's own opinions, and they cooperate with the local area. However, it will also be sorted out every period of time to facilitate the audit by the headquarters office or the tripartite audit company.

"Okay, I'll have the information on this today." Director Zhang hurriedly said that these materials are actually normal, but an additional copy needs to be sorted out so that it is convenient to discuss how to cooperate with the foreign investor tomorrow, and when the end of accompanying the foreign customer, he will go back and arrange someone to do it.

"Is the progress of the ITC completed as scheduled?" Chen Zhiwen asked again, the most important thing is the International Trade Center, in front of this, the planning is twice as large as the original history, but the first phase, after the completion of the construction area of 270,000 square meters, more than the total area of the next two phases of Hongkong Land's Exchange Square combined by 2 million square feet.

That is, in Yanjing City, which has just begun to develop its economy, there will be such a large piece of land, and if you want to get such a large land in Hong Kong, or in the future Yanjing in Shanghai or even in the deep sea, it is unlikely that you will have money.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhou, the inside of this construction site is chaotic and dirty, and considering safety factors, it is better for us not to go in, it is better to walk around the outside of the building, and I will also introduce it to you, how about it?" Director Zhang said again.

Even if you know that Chen Zhiwen and others are coming, but a huge construction base, if you want to become neat, it is almost impossible, and the construction period is also very tight, once it stops, the impact will be greater, so it can only be roughly improved. But the best way is not to let the guests in, just look around.

"Okay, let's just walk around the perimeter." Chen Zhiwen nodded and agreed, after staying in Hong Kong for so many years, he has also become the largest property owner in Hong Kong, but he has never entered a construction site.

One is not necessary, he can't understand the structure inside, the second is to take into account safety, although the probability of problems is very low, but there is no need to find yourself boring, the current construction site and the future, the investment in safety, but completely different, especially in the mainland, there is no experience in building super buildings before, and there are almost no safety facilities for operations at ultra-high heights, but fortunately, the real estate economy in Hong Kong is sluggish, so Hutchison shipped a complete set of facilities from Hong Kong, And there are many experienced masters.

But no matter what, compared with the team composed of skilled workers in Hong Kong, it is still far behind, and even Hong Kong, it is not as good as the future generations, just a communication problem, it cannot be overcome, there will be mobile phones in the future, but there is no now, even walkie-talkies, only a few leaders have.

Since he started working in the real estate industry in Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen has deliberately spent a lot of money on the safety of construction employees, even if he is not his direct employee, but no matter what, it is unlikely to achieve zero accidents.

He himself, he can only try to make himself safe, not to enter the construction site, is the safest, anyway, there are many professional subordinates responsible for the quality of the construction, and when the house is almost built, just look at it yourself.

"Then this way, please." Director Zhang pointed out a direction, a group of people around the entire construction site, in the outside of the circle, the area of the construction site is very large, a few people down this circle, it will take a lot of time, but the Great Wall has climbed, and I don't care about walking at will.

Director Zhang was used as a lecturer to introduce each building to Chen Zhiwen and others one by one. From time to time, Zhou Jiayang can also say a few words.

Although the whole project was officially started after Chen Zhiwen's approval and signature last year, he forgot a lot, and it was only a floor plan at that time, but now it is on the site, and it feels different, but unfortunately, the current foundation is just right, and the upper floors have only been built for less than ten floors, and I can't feel the grandeur of it.

The first phase of the ITC project includes a large convention center, three office towers of more than 50 floors, plus a five-star hotel with all kinds of entertainment, and a large movie theater inside.

The original intention of the ITC project is to receive high-level business people from overseas and hold large-scale business meetings.

This is one of the reasons why the mainland government wants to promote this project, not only because there is a large conference venue, which will be more convenient for overseas investors and promote foreign cooperation in Yanjing and even the whole country, but also because the project itself can also earn foreign exchange, if it is not because the cost of building such a comprehensive business, hotel and entertainment complex is too high, and there is no experience in this area in China, it is estimated that it will not be the turn of outsiders.

It took about half an hour for the group to walk and chat, and it took most of the entire construction site of the first phase of the International Trade Center to spare most of the circle, and soon they will be at the place where they just started.

Suddenly, a burst of fragrance wafted from nowhere.
