"Ningbo University and the port?" Chen Zhiwen thought for a while and said, "I've heard of this Ning Po a long time ago, but I've never been there. ”

"My ancestral home is Ningbo, you also know my current physical condition, and it just so happened that the leader of my hometown invited me to go back to have a look, so I also wanted to go." Bao Yugang said: "We Chinese have a tradition of benefiting our hometown, I saw that Chen Sheng donated to Shenhai University, Li Jiacheng donated to Shantou University, and Ningbo is also a super large city, but there is no university, so I am ready to imitate the two." ”

"Well, helping higher education in China is indeed what should be done, let alone hometown." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Most of Hong Kong's wealthy people still do charity, or at least they want ordinary people to think that they like to do charity, which may be because Chinese culture has been like this since ancient times, and even in ancient times, there were many businessmen who liked to be charitable, even if it was just for "fame". Or, the influence of some traditional religious cultures makes many people think that scattering money can eliminate disasters, especially the Asan religion.

Of course, no matter what, most of the Hong Kong tycoons do charity, compared to their worth, there are only a few exceptions, such as Run Run Shaw, the big man in the business operation of the word "pick" to the limit, but in the charity is really not soft, no matter what the purpose, his money does help a lot of people.

And those who have the financial resources to donate to a university are also several top richest people in Hong Kong, the earliest is Chen Zhiwen, the second is Li Jiacheng, and now Bao Yugang is also going to be the third.

For example, Chen Zhiwen needs Shenhai University to provide a large number of talents for his R&D center and production center, while Li Jiacheng is a vote of his heart to the mainland.

Bao Yugang may also have his own thoughts, but these are not important, the important thing is that his donation has really helped the development of China, helped domestic students, and even led to a large number of jobs and so on.

"Yes, if I can leave a university, if my statue can also stand in the middle of this university, then this life is worth it." Bao Yugang said with emotion.

"I didn't think about it!" Chen Zhiwen was stunned for a moment and said.

"Haha, Chen Sheng, you are still young, I can't think of this, when you reach my age, you will have this kind of thought, for us, what money pursuit is meaningless, to be able to leave your name in history, it is worth it more than anything." Bao Yugang laughed.

"Makes sense." Chen Zhiwen nodded, if you say so, it is indeed very meaningful, after all, it is really sixty or seventy years old, and it is useless to pursue so much money, but the inheritance of family inheritance and the inheritance of one's reputation is more important, the former is related to one's relatives and the country that has been laid down for half a lifetime, and the latter may be a requirement for oneself when there is really no pursuit!

In this way, Shaw has succeeded in building libraries everywhere, at least many people will always know his name.

"As for the port, in fact, in the past six months or so, I have also sent people to the local area to investigate, and found a large area of high-quality water port, which can be made into a super port, not even under the port of Kwai Chung in Hong Kong." Bao Yugang said again.

"If there's a port, I'm naturally interested." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

Chen Zhiwen remembered that in later generations of the original history, some rumors about Bao Yugang said that after Bao Yugang arrived in Ningbo, he saw that Ningbo did not have a university, so he decided to donate one on the spot, and went to the beach and found that it was suitable for a port, so he immediately decided to build a world-class port here.

At that time, I thought it was true, but from the current point of view, it is simply impossible, a successful businessman like Bao Yugang, before making such a big investment decision, must have checked the relevant information, calculated the budget and the rate of return, etc.

Whether it is a university or a port, it is a big investment project, how can it be decided on the spot at will, even if it really happens to meet the right opportunity, with this idea, it will not make a commitment on the spot, it is good to be able to say "think about it", and you must investigate clearly before making a decision, unless the investment is very small, such as tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, you can make the most decision.

"Haha, with Hutchison's investment, I feel much more at ease, otherwise I wouldn't have confidence." Bao Yugang laughed.

"Hutchison was also planning to focus on investing in ports in China, which in itself is also a multi-task." Chen Zhiwen said.

Originally, Bao Yugang acquired Wharf, and Wharf has a port business, but it is not as large as Hutchison, so Bao Yugang can cooperate with China alone to invest in Ningbo Port.

But now, because of Chen Zhiwen's butterfly effect interference, Bao Yugang's acquisition of China Power, although CLP is no worse than Wharf to a certain extent, but it does not understand the port, Bao Yugang's previous global shipping, although it has achieved the world's first shipping company throne, but also does not understand the port, can only say that there is this vision to distinguish which places are suitable for the port, Ningbo Port was obviously discovered by them in this way.

"Then when is Chen Sheng free?" Bao Yugang asked again.

"I'll do whatever I want, just arrange it on both of you." Chen Zhiwen shrugged and said.

In fact, since the Hong Kong real estate market began to rebound, although the current range is not very large, even if it is a 5% increase, for Hongkong Land, which has 30 billion + Hong Kong dollar property assets, it has also obtained a collateral limit of 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars out of thin air.

In addition, Hongkong Land is also preparing to cooperate with Disney to build a park, and a few months ago won the Admiralty Land King, and at the same time, several large-scale real estate projects in hand have also reached the point where they can be pre-sold, and all aspects of the capital have returned to normal.

When these large companies grow to a large enough scale, they will bundle the interests of many high-level executives, and these people will also bind the entire company to move forward.

In terms of family, although the twin children are very reluctant to leave, I can't wait to be with them every day, but there must always be a balance between career and family, it is impossible to have a whole career and the whole family, and as a boss, many times in Hong Kong, he has not been in the company for a long time, compared with ordinary people, he has more time with the children.

"How about next Wednesday? On the mainland side, the same answer as you, haha. Bao Yugang asked.

"No problem." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

……

A week later, Chen Zhiwen's private jet landed at Shanghai Airport.

Two Hong Kong tycoons came to Shanghai, although they were just passing by, but Shanghai also sent some people to accompany them, one is to protect security, and the other is to communicate more, maybe there will be some opportunities for cooperation.

Chen Zhiwen and the others did not refuse, just like that, accompanied by the Shanghai city officials, especially the two police cars one in front of the other, the convoy was also a lot more convenient on the road.

After arriving in Ningbo, the local government officials were naturally very grand, and the relevant leaders also accompanied the two of them and stayed in the government department compound for a day, but what they said was relatively empty, after all, there were so many people on the scene, and the real and practical things would not be negotiated here.

The next day, accompanied by several leaders of the departments in charge of foreign trade and commerce in Ningbo, Bao Yugang and Chen Zhiwen arrived at a sea port, which already had a small port.

"Chen Sheng, don't look at this port is not big, but in fact, this is a very rare deep-sea port in the world, the coastline is very steep, as long as there is enough investment, large ships can be parked." Bao Yugang explained with a smile, what is the situation here, he would have sent someone to check it clearly, otherwise he would not have taken the liberty to bring Chen Zhiwen here, such a big port, the investment down, billions are considered less, if you really want to do a good job, tens of billions are not necessarily enough, although the Bao family can't say that it can't be taken out, but really take out so much, it will also hurt the vitality, in recent years, China Power also has several power station projects in China, and the demand for funds is very high. Besides, it is safer to bring Chen Zhiwen in, although he feels that the risk is not great, but at any time, all the eggs should not be put in one cage.

"I've heard of Ningbo Harbor for a long time." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The slope of the water near the coastline is the most important factor in whether it can become a port, some relatively flat coastlines, may not be able to park large ships in the sea for several miles, because the bottom of the ship may touch the seabed, and some can be very close, such a deep-water port as long as a little processing, is a natural harbor. The port of Nyingbo is clearly the latter.

This port was also used in the 4th century before the park, although it was not possible to excavate large ports in ancient times, but it was also instinctive to find a suitable place to stop ships, and it was one of the largest trading ports in the world during the Song and Ming dynasties, and in modern times, it has also become the object of competition among the great powers, and it was forced to open customs in 1840.

In the 21st century, the annual throughput of Ningbo Port is as high as 1 billion tons, becoming the seventh largest super port in the world.

"Two, there is a famous saying in the center, it is called if you want to get rich, first build roads, business on land naturally needs all kinds of roads, but on the ocean, you need high-quality ports. We are close to the ocean and have a natural port, if we can make use of this port, the scale potential is definitely not under the Tanggu port. One of the accompanying directors, Director Li, said with a smile.

"Chen Sheng, there are hundreds of kilometers around here, and this is the only place with such a natural harbor, if the economy of Jiangnan really develops, it will definitely be a very suitable upfront investment." Bao Yugang also said.

"Indeed, how the whole project was arranged." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, he doesn't need to understand some messy professional knowledge, he won't understand these things if he talks about them seriously for three days, as long as he knows the future value here, there will be no problem.

"First of all, the first phase is to build a large container terminal in this location, and next to this, to build a large mass commodity terminal, with an initial investment, estimated at between 3 billion and 4 billion Hong Kong dollars." Bao Yugang said after pointing to a map in his hand.

"Mass commodity docks, do you mean grain or something?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"Yes, Chen Sheng, Jiangnan itself is also an important producer of grain, and it is one of the main ways for Jiangnan to export and earn foreign exchange all year round, and there is also an exchange with foreign countries, and some times, it is necessary to trade with the north." Director Li explained.

At present, China is still a grain exporter, but the net export volume is not much, after all, the domestic demand for food is also very large for 1 billion people.

Net imports or exports are not the same thing as actual trading volumes, and many countries, even net grain exporters, buy large quantities of other types of food, and the trading volume is very large.

"Haha, grain is only one of the mass commodities, such a port can be built in the future, and even we are ready to reserve space, if there is a need in the country, we can also build a port for various minerals." Bao Yugang said.

"Okay, you're professionals, so I'm not going to give my opinion." Chen Zhiwen didn't ask any more questions after listening, as long as he could participate. Such a large port, although the introduction of foreign capital in China, but in fact it is the foreign side with domestic capital, just like the expressway, how to build is basically the domestic decision, the foreign side also has some rights, but it can only be said that it can be discussed, unless the mainland side is obviously unreasonable, otherwise, there is not much interference, after all, this is the mainland's infrastructure project, any infrastructure is also to meet the mainland's economic development needs.

In the next hour, Director Li took Bao and Li around the scene and explained in detail the planning of the new port in the future.

In fact, there is already a good port here, but it can't be modernized, especially the speed of containers on the ship is too slow, which seriously affects efficiency, and even affects the regional economy in the rear, which is also the reason for the ruthless modern port, but there is no money and no foreign exchange, so you can only introduce foreign capital, and Hong Kong capital is the most suitable choice, at least in addition to economic benefits, there is no other purpose, compared with Europe, the United States and Japan The capital is much stronger.

Chen Zhiwen began to feel a little foggy after listening to it for a while, but it doesn't matter, coming here today is only a preliminary contact, and when the two bosses Chen and Bao are settled, the professional person will naturally come out to talk to the mainland government. Follow-up and Huang people will also make a large sand table, in order to facilitate Chen Zhiwen's understanding, although the value of the sand table is very high, but it can save Chen Zhiwen's time is of greater significance, now in the headquarters of Hong Kong Landmark Recreation Building, there is a large sand table involving Hong Kong Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hung Hom and other places, which marks all the buildings belonging to Chen Zhiwen, at a glance to help Chen Zhiwen understand the actual situation of Hong Kong real estate, otherwise the list is not clear.

After the introduction, Director Li had lunch at a guest house near the port, and after that, everyone went back to Ningbo City.

On the way, Chen Zhiwen suddenly asked: "Director Li, there is no expressway in Zhejiang Province now, right?" (End of chapter)
