"Chen Sheng, hello." In the afternoon, President Shen and Vice President Lin rushed to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to meet in a private suite in a luxury café.

"President Shen and President Lin, I haven't seen you for almost half a year, and the two of you are getting better and better." Chen Zhiwen laughed and said: "There are all kinds of coffee and tea here, and the two of you can taste it casually." ”

It is said to be a café, but in fact everything is done here, after all, it is not a Western country, and in Hong Kong society, young people like to drink coffee, and older people also like to drink tea. Merchants will naturally know that there will be flexibility, just as KFC in China will also have a variety of localized food, including rice and the like, in the same way, overseas Chinese restaurants will also change the taste of food in order to adapt to Western tastes.

Of course, on the bright side, coffee is still the mainstay, after all, even in the mainland in later generations, it is still relatively rare to specialize in tea drinking places, and the café is only doing tea drinking business by the way.

"Thank you." President Shen smiled and said, "Since Chen Sheng's wedding, we haven't seen each other, Chen Sheng should be a father soon, right?" ”

Although the number of Chen family bodyguards is large and professional, and Mrs. Chen doesn't go out much, she still has to go to the hospital, so many reporters in Hong Kong, there are always people who can meet, it is not difficult to take a photo of the hospital gate in the distance, even the president of the United States can not do it to prevent others from taking photos from a distance, and Liu Xiaoli's belly is so big, naturally the public will know, and the public also knows that it is precisely because of pregnancy that the Chen family's wedding will be a little anxious.

"The due date will be at the end of April or the beginning of May." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile, this matter is not intended to be kept secret, and there is no need, the reporter will shoot it, which is also one of the troubles of being a celebrity.

In fact, the eighties and nineties were a little better, but when it came to the Internet era, it was even more annoying, everyone's mobile phone was a camera, or ultra-high-definition, but the Internet can also be controlled, as long as it is not a major event that angers the people, it can basically be easily suppressed.

"Then I'll congratulate Chen Sheng in advance." President Shen smiled and said, this is a big deal for anyone, and for the Chen family, the birth of an heir is a cornerstone that can stabilize the entire consortium.

The importance of the Chen family in China today is not comparable to any overseas Chinese billionaire, and the current investment in the mainland and the investment that is about to be prepared can directly or indirectly drive hundreds of thousands or even millions of jobs, and can also bring hundreds of millions of dollars a year or even as high as one billion dollars of foreign exchange, which is second only to the income of the Daqing Oilfield for the mainland government that lacks foreign exchange, and the latter can also drive the development of many industrial chains, which is of great significance.

"Thank you." Chen Zhiwen smiled, and then said officially: "Two, I think you should know about the rumors, right?" ”

With the report of the Oriental Daily, such a news that can affect almost every Hong Kong person will naturally spread throughout Hong Kong quickly, but many people do not know whether it is true or false, two years ago, when China and Britain were still negotiating, many newspapers in Hong Kong were often full of all kinds of fake news, which also made the people a little distrustful of newspapers.

"I've read the Oriental Daily, Chen Sheng invited us over now, it seems that this matter is true?" President Shen nodded and said.

If it is a general investment plan, then it only needs to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government, and the Xinhua News Agency, as long as it is not a very large investment, then there is no interest in understanding it, and the main task of the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong is not to focus on business, unless the scale of the business is large enough and the impact is great, but generally only need to know, Hong Kong businessmen, will not and do not need to communicate with the Xinhua News Agency.

But Disney's investment this time is different, such a big investment, any country will attach great importance to it, including developed countries, it is said that Europe has long wanted to introduce Disneyland, if Disney wants to invest in Europe, it will also cause competition among European countries.

Although Disney is also a Hong Kong person, it is also a huge international capital, and it is very well-known in the world, such an investment can even improve Hong Kong's popularity in the world, otherwise, if it is not Chinese or British, who would know that Hong Kong is such a city?

In the previous "Joint Convention" between the United Kingdom and the mainland, there are restrictions on the sale of land by the Hong Kong government, 500 hectares a year, which is not enough to build Disneyland, and even if it is enough, it is impossible to give it all to you, right? In this case, it can only be feasible to approve a piece of land to Disney with the consent of the mainland government.

"Yes, I plan to build a Disneyland in Hong Kong, and the land area will be a little smaller than that in Japan, but no matter how small, I am afraid it will also need more than 1 square kilometer, and such a large area requires the consent of the mainland and the British government in Hong Kong." Chen Zhiwen said.

In fact, the British side of Hong Kong is not a big problem, Governor Youde in the history of the Governor of Hong Kong, although not as good as MacLehose, but also really for the Governor of Hong Kong, in the past two years, Hong Kong's textile industry has been sanctioned by Europe and the United States, Governor Youde has also visited South American countries many times, for Hong Kong's textile industry clothes and clothing to open up sales.

Although Britain has declined, relatively speaking, it is still more responsible for the former colony, much stronger than France or something, and the name of the British gentleman, whether it is sincere or pretended, is at least on the surface.

On the mainland side, the possibility of consent should also be very high, and the central government also hopes that Hong Kong will become stronger, but after all, it involves special approval outside the "Joint Convention", and the process is estimated to be quite complicated.

Without the mainland's consent, there is little point in any in-depth contact with the Hong Kong government, at most there is a general exchange, and it is better to let the Hong Kong government help you.

Therefore, after Chen Zhiwen released the news, he came to Xinhua News Agency as soon as possible, and he needed to use them to spread the news to Yanjing.

"1 square kilometre, this area is indeed very large for Hong Kong, a little bigger than Ocean Park." President Shen nodded and said.

The total area of Hong Kong is only more than 1,000 square kilometers, most of which are sparsely populated mountains and islands, and only three or four out of ten of the places where the real population lives.

The area of Hong Kong Ocean Park is almost 0.8 square kilometers, and when it was first built, it also took a lot of effort from the British government in Hong Kong, not to mention the money invested, just all kinds of demolition and leveling, it took a long time.

"All kinds of small problems in land acquisition, this matter will be handed over to me, I think if this matter passes, the Hong Kong government will definitely help, now the first thing is to obtain permission for investment approval, if it doesn't work, the future, in fact, there is no need to worry." Chen Zhiwen said: "If I can't invest in Hong Kong, then I can only go to Wanwan. ”

According to normal logic, the biggest upfront cost of an investment is a variety of research, investigation, exchange and calculation, etc., which will be very costly, therefore, the investment of many large companies, even if it does not start, may lose millions or even tens of millions of funds, and need to consider a lot of places, and spend more energy, of course, this is nothing for Disney, Chen Zhiwen's order is to lock Hong Kong, if you do not invest, there will be no major losses.

And if you invest in Europe, then the upfront workload is huge, so many countries, so many cities, there are policy and legal issues to consider.

However, others don't know that they also need to have an alternative place to negotiate terms with the Hong Kong government, and even if the mainland central government agrees later, they will make appropriate contact with Wanwan to suppress the Hong Kong government.

"Chen Sheng is assured that as long as we can sincerely make Hong Kong's economy better, then our central government will definitely support it." President Shen hurriedly said.

Once the cooperation fails or is pried away by others, it is not only a matter of loss, but also a matter of suspicion of capital from all parties.

After all, overseas tourists come to Hong Kong, and it is impossible to go back just to Disney, and they may have to go to Central to take pictures, Victoria Harbour to take a cruise, Harbour City to shop, Ocean Park will also go to play, or taste some food from all over Hong Kong, plus hotel accommodation, but it will benefit countless related groups in Hong Kong, even the Hong Kong government.

Besides, although it is still the era of the British government in Hong Kong, it will belong to the Chinese themselves after 97 years, and Disneyland will be able to benefit Hong Kong even more.

However, to be cautious, he also only said a little empty promise, not Disney itself, after all, no one can guarantee that it will be 100% fine.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the mainland." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile: "This morning, Hong Kong Governor Youde has called me to ask about Disney's news, and he is also willing to promote this matter, but he also understands that we must agree to the mainland government before we can formally discuss this matter." ”

Youde is also a smart person, there is a well-known MacLehose in front of him, it is too difficult to surpass the other party, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, although it was not organized by MacLehose alone, but history will only associate this matter with him and become a super bright spot on the zz. And he Youde must also need another highlight, pure economic improvement, in fact, there is no big significance, but a large Disneyland invested in Hong Kong during his tenure, that is definitely the highlight of his resume, and it is possible to enter Buckingham Palace in the future.

"Okay, I'll push this as soon as I can." President Shen promised. (End of chapter)
