In the next two days, Chen Zhiwen accompanied Bao Yugang to inspect the address of the new university prepared in Ningbo City, in order to facilitate the understanding of the situation, he also specially asked several senior designers who had participated in the construction of Shenhai University to come over, although the two places are different, but there will always be a lot of places to help.

Bao Yugang does not have any special requirements for this university, so how to arrange the disciplines is also up to the mainland side, that is, it will be appropriately involved in investment and finance, which can be said to be a relatively pure donation to the university.

In addition, Bao Yugang also tried to promote a large steel plant to settle in Ningbo, but this involved the central government, and Chen Zhiwen didn't ask too much, this was completely none of his business, and he didn't want to get involved. In later generations, he had never heard that Ningbo's steel industry was very developed, that is to say, even if this steel plant was settled, it would be considered medium-sized at most in the future, not the top one, so Chen Zhiwen did not need to personally participate in such an ordinary steel mill.

This time, the new port and new university in Ningbo City were expected by everyone on the mainland side, and all the preparations were in place, but Chen Zhiwen's proposal to build a highway along with Ningbo, Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai was an unexpected joy, and after the news was informed, Shanghu City immediately wanted to send someone to contact Chen Zhiwen, but he was refused, because he was also going to Shanghai for a trip.

He had been staying in Hong Kong for a while, and this time he finally came to the mainland once, so naturally he also needed to visit major cities by the way, especially those large cities with his key investments, but Shenhai City is not counted, because it is close to Hong Kong, and it takes an hour or two to go when he wants to go when he is in Hong Kong.

Compared with Shenhai and Yanjing, Chen Zhiwen's investment in Shanghai is not much, the largest is a food base, alone, it is not small, but compared to Yanjing City's automobile, high-speed, international trade center, Shenhai City's entire billion-dollar level of electronic industry chain, it is far behind, this time the proposed Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, although more than half of it is in Zhejiang, can be on Shanghai, even if a small half of the high-speed, it is also very meaningful.

After coming to Shanghai, I naturally met with the relevant leaders of Shanghai first, and everyone was very comfortable listening to all kinds of polite words.

In the afternoon of the same day, Shanghai arranged for a director Pan in charge of infrastructure to come and discuss the details of the construction of the expressway with Chen Zhiwen.

"Hello, Director Pan." Chen Zhiwen said politely.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Director Pan is also very polite, although as the director of Shanghai City, his status is very high, but compared to the super-rich in Hong Kong, it is still a little worse, these people, even when they arrive in Yanjing, may be received at the highest level, not to mention, the person in front of him, but the peak of Hong Kong's capital.

"In the past few years, I have been visiting Shanghai almost once a year, and I can feel the great changes in the city every year." Chan said: "It's very similar to the Hong Kong I remember when I was a child. ”

"Chen Sheng praised that it can develop to half of Hong Kong, and all the leaders of our Shanghai market can sleep happily." Director Pan said with a smile.

"Sooner or later, before going to Shanghai, it will be the real Oriental Pearl of Asia, and at that time Hong Kong is far worse than Shanghai." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Yes, so we went to Shanghai, and now we are desperately catching up." Director Pan paused and said: "I would also like to thank many Hong Kong capitals for choosing to invest in Shanghai in the past few years. ”

"Haha, Director Pan, Hong Kong Capital, the investment in Shanghai in the past few years is not a big deal!" Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"It's not a few, Chen Sheng's Red Bull Food Factory, as well as Mr. Hu Yingxiang's two bridges, hotels and power plants, add up to no less than other countries." Director Pan said: "However, compared with Shenhai and Yanjing, it is indeed far behind, so we also hope to further cooperate with Hong Kong capital in Shanghai Stock Exchange." ”

Although the country has already begun to reform the policy, Shanghai is also the first batch of places that can attract foreign investment, and there is still a lot of autonomy, but it is difficult to attract foreign investment, and most of them are planned projects formulated by the central government as early as 1978, such as SAIC Volkswagen, Baosteel and so on.

It is purely attracted by itself, and there are a lot of foreign investors who come to Shanghai to invest, and there are many in Europe, the United States and Japan, but they are all small-scale enterprises, and the only one in the United States, 3M, which is a little larger, has a total investment of less than 10 million US dollars.

Compared with these European and American companies that pick and search, Hong Kong is much more generous, not to mention Chen Zhiwen, a super-rich man who invests everywhere in China, is a second-class rich man, and he has invested a lot in China.

For example, the largest toy factory Kaida brand in Shenhai City, built a factory in Shenhai Shekou, now has nearly 6,000 employees, earning foreign exchange as much as 10 million US dollars every year, and other textile industries are blooming everywhere in eastern Guangdong Province, and the total scale of foreign exchange earning is more than 100 million US dollars.

In other places, there is no one who is not envious, but it is useless to envy, people are close to Hong Kong, and the local language is almost the same, that is, if you want to grab investment in Shanghai, you can only pick some big ones, but you may not be able to grab them, Hong Kong's huge number of small capital does not need to be discussed in eastern Guangdong Province, and they will take the initiative to invest directly, and other places will not look at it. The innate advantage is too strong, just like the logic that Shanghai became the largest economy in the entire mainland a few decades ago.

In this case, cities or provinces, including Shanghai, can only stare at Hong Kong's top capital, and the introduction of such investment, in terms of quality and quantity, even if it is not as good as that of eastern Guangdong, you have to eat a bite of meat. It's just that in this area, Yanjing obviously suppressed Shanghai, although there is also a large food factory in Shanghai, but compared with Yanjing's investment promotion in Hong Kong, it is still a little worse.

"Director Pan, with the further opening up policy of the mainland, I also hope to be able to carry out more cooperation with the mainland, Shanghai as the largest city in Asia, I also believe that it can once again gain the glory of the past, so I also hope to reach more cooperation with Shanghai, a high-speed from Shanghai to Hangzhou, will only be the beginning of our cooperation." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

After 85 years, the speed of domestic reform began to rise rapidly, although before 92 years, there will still be certain fluctuations, but the general direction is basically no problem, plus Hong Kong has no worries, the current international environment in the mainland is also very friendly, which is very suitable for their own investment.

Of course, it is still much worse than after 90 years, but it is not without unique advantages, after 90 years, it is a broad sense of free investment, basically not a special industry, there is no limit, but throughout the 80s, there are many unique opportunities, similar to Yanjing International Trade Center, several of the most prosperous cities between high-speed or high-quality ports, to the 90s, basically most of them can no longer have any opportunities to touch, Unless some of them are projects that started after the 90s, such as Pudong.

At present, I don't need to do a lot of it, just grab a few high-quality large-scale projects, and the rest, after the 90s, and then at that time, the large amount of money earned from the Japanese market will also be useful.

"Haha, Chen Sheng's words, it's really good." Director Pan was overjoyed in his heart, and asked again: "Then I don't know about this high-speed cooperation, what do you think about Chen Sheng's side?" ”

"I won't interfere in professional matters, and there will naturally be professional people in charge." Chen Zhiwen said: "The specific cooperation model, we can refer to the previous Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway project between our side and Yanjing City and TJ City, one of which is a hard requirement on my side, this high-speed, at present, according to the actual demand and financial reasons, can be built two-way four-lane first, but it is necessary to leave the land for future expansion now, that is, on both sides of the hundreds of kilometers of expressway, we must take enough land with at least 8 lanes in both directions at the time of this land acquisition, so as to prepare for future expansion." ”

"Chen Sheng, is this worried that the cost of demolition in the future will be too high?" Director Pan is also a smart person, and he understood the purpose as soon as he heard it. The situation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway, he actually knows some, he had a simple understanding before, and after learning that Chen Zhiwen was going to invest in the Shanghai Expressway, he also went to study it, but he couldn't see the specific contract between Yanjing City and Hutchison, so he didn't know about this situation. After all, he hadn't had time to go to Yanjing specifically for this matter, and many things were just read some information.

"Yes, that's a precaution." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway is operated in this way, built a two-way four-lane, but the land acquisition left 8 lanes, some special places also reserved a larger area, although this will cause more pressure on the current investment, but it is much stronger than staying in the future, now spend 10,000 yuan to solve the matter, and wait until ten or twenty years later, maybe one million is not necessarily enough.

When the economy develops, the cost of land acquisition will only increase exponentially, and now, basically you can take it directly with some money, and it is more efficient to use foreign exchange, not to mention, in this era, such a big project, when encountering land acquisition, the people are willing to cooperate. Of course, Chen Zhiwen will not take advantage of this, and the compensation will still be compensated, and if the house is moved, it will at least be in another place, where the government will provide new land, and then the joint venture company will pay for them to build houses, and if the land is used, the government may also arrange land exchange and so on.

"There will be a lot of money involved in this regard, and Mr. Chen also knows that such a high-speed project requires a joint venture between the two of us, and we will also contribute a lot of funds on our side, so we still need the consent of the municipal party committee." Director Pan explained that he was only here to do a preliminary communication, because he knew some professional knowledge, and in this regard, the municipal party committee may not ask too much, but when it comes to huge funds, it must be managed.

Although he also knows about foreign demolitions, Director Pan also knows that the cost of demolition will definitely be higher in the future, but such a large project, even if the cost of land acquisition is low now, will become a large amount of money in the end. No matter how much money is saved in the future, it is also money in the future, and if there is not enough money now, it will be meaningless.

"Isn't there enough money in Shanghai?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

In a few decades, the construction of expressways or large ports will not be a joke for the mainland government, as long as it is not the kind of sparsely populated place where building expressways will lose money, and the economic benefits can be balanced in the future.

But now it's another matter, a large-scale infrastructure project, no matter how good the future benefits are, but for now, it is all nerve-wracking, and the national finance is limited, and it is also invested step by step according to the plan, and suddenly there is a large-scale project, and the financial pressure on the government is not small. However, foreign investment in infrastructure is also very happy to be seen at the national level, and such opportunities are also very rare, not like the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway has been planned very early projects, other places, can have foreign investment, the central government must actively participate.

In fact, from Chen Zhiwen's point of view, it would be better if it could be a sole proprietorship, but unfortunately the legal level does not allow it.

"Chen Sheng can rest assured that there is a bit of pressure on the capital, but we still have no problem going to the Shanghai market, and the central government also fully supports us." Director Pan hurriedly said.

"In fact, if there is a problem with funds, we can finance from Hong Kong, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway and the Guangdong-Shenzhen Expressway are relatively successful, at present, Hong Kong, for the domestic high-speed, can not be said to be very optimistic, but at least not bad, to get a full loan, it is not difficult." Chen Zhiwen said.

"Banks in Hong Kong? Is Chen Sheng talking about your Hisense Bank? Director Pan asked.

"Yes, but it's not just Hisense Bank that participates alone, I will also bring other banks in Hong Kong with me, and this kind of big investment is generally a combination of multiple banks." Chen Zhiwen said.

When investing in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway before, Hisense Bank had not been acquired by him, so the funds for the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway came from a combination of loans from HSBC and Standard Chartered.

Nowadays, the scale of one's own bank in Hong Kong is second to that of HSBC, and it is limited by Hong Kong's banking law, so it is impossible to lend to its own related companies, so many large-scale infrastructure projects in the mainland are a suitable target.

Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway,It's just the first target project,In the future,Hisense Bank's main place of cooperation,It is the infrastructure of the mainland,Not only includes his investment,Those he does not participate in investment,The number is more,The scale is also larger,Even the mainland-owned projects,You can also cooperate。

This is also a way to indirectly participate in many infrastructure projects in the mainland that cannot be interfered with, and with little risk in the future, it is also a good way out for Hisense Bank, which can no longer expand in Hong Kong.

"Okay, I don't think the municipal party committee will refuse this matter." Director Pan said that the use of overseas loans for domestic infrastructure projects is actually the norm, and several large railways, airports, and ports are also using loans from Japan, Europe and the United States.

"For other aspects, let's wait for the professional teams of both of us to confirm the high-speed route later." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile. (End of chapter)
