"This is, from Shanghai to Hankow?" Director Xin was shocked in his heart, this length is not much shorter than that from Yanjing to Shanghai. The most important thing is that this is an important section of the most important "one horizontal" expressway proposed by the state before, connecting many cities in Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province.

"Yes, Director Xin also knows that my wife is from Hankou, but it is not suitable for big investment at present, but it is no problem to build a high-speed expressway, and I am also more optimistic about the future economy around Shanghai, and investing in Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway is actually for this purpose." Chen Zhiwen said with a chuckle.

In fact, this is also a small temptation, the first is such a big project, will the country be given to outsiders to do, you must know that in the history of the mainland, although a lot of overseas capital has been introduced into the field of expressways, but they are all short-distance high-speed, or branch highways, that is, in the early 80s, there is really no money, and the domestic debate about investment in high-speed is still very big, so that Hu Yingxiang built the Guangdong-Shenzhen Expressway.

Director Xin thought for a while and said: "Chen Sheng, other places may be a little better to discuss, but this one is currently very controversial in China, because the transportation direction of this road is in the same direction as the Yangtze River, and what can be walked on the road can also be transported on the Yangtze River, and the cost of water transportation is lower and the capacity is larger, even the train is not as good as water transportation, and the speed will be a little slower."

But along the Yangtze River, in fact, there is no need for efficient transportation needs, at least not very large, so this high-speed, although there is a plan, but the controversy is very large, even if it is built, it will be a little later than other high-speed of the same level, Mr. Chen, although we welcome your investment here, but the expressway also needs to cooperate with the national economic development plan. ”

"Well, that's no problem, but in the future, if this highway is ready to be built, when the time comes, we will consider cooperation." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

In fact, this matter was also expected, he did not raise this matter in Shanghai before, that is, because of the existence of water transportation on the Yangtze River. In this world, there are no man-made roads or railways that can compare with water transportation in terms of capacity, and they can't compare with horses. This is also one of the reasons why the railways in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are underdeveloped.

When the Yangtze River water transport existed, it was indeed not a wise move to build a highway near it, which was like building a port in a sparsely populated place, the capitalists were willing to invest money, and the government would not allow it.

Originally, in history, together with the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway of Jinling City and Shanghai City, the project was much later than the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway, and it was for this reason that until 90 years later, the economic development of the entire Yangtze River Delta was very rapid, and the time efficiency of water transportation was too slow to keep up with the economic demand, and after considering the environmental and ecological problems, the expressway around the Yangtze River began to be planned.

"Elsewhere, Chen Sheng doesn't think about it?" Director Xin asked again, since the opening of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway and the Guangdong-Shenzhen Expressway, it has brought great improvements to the local economy, which is directly a large-scale reduction in transportation costs, and indirectly has brought many small factories, especially foreign capital, who choose to invest in transportation problems, especially some large foreign-funded enterprises, and people will pass directly if the traffic is not good.

Although there are many expressways, and the central insiders know that they will definitely make money by investing in the future, there are too many expressways that need to be built, and the finance department simply cannot afford to raise so much money on its own.

At the national level, what the central government needs is the indirect benefits brought by the expressway, which is the big head, and the direct benefits of the expressway itself are not harmful to outsiders. In addition, large-scale foreign investment can also increase the country's foreign exchange reserves, although it will have to be returned in the future, but at least it will be of great help to the present.

"Other high-speed projects are also fine, but I need to study and study them again, and Director Xin also knows that such an investment can easily cost tens of billions, and I also need to be very cautious." Chen Zhiwen said.

Although this kind of high-speed loan can be used as much as possible, if it is super large or large, it will also require a lot of doxxing funds, and at the same time, the credit line is also a resource, which consumes too much in the country, and does not meet his current maximum benefit.

Investing in highways in China, naturally the future will not be lost, or even make a lot of money, but doing business, is to be compared, an ordinary reborn, before 2010 to buy a house will definitely make a lot of money, but on the whole, in fact, it is better to buy some company stocks, such as Tencent. Therefore, what to do depends on the opportunities and trade-offs of different eras.

In the late 80s, there were also many opportunities in the global market, such as the upcoming Japan Plaza Accord, the global stock market crash in '87, the housing bull market in Hong Kong itself, and even Southeast Asia.

In the 90s, these major events ended, although there are other opportunities in the world, but their own funds will inevitably be more, and the domestic market will be more open, that is the spring of their real large-scale investment.

"Of course, if Chen Sheng is confirmed, you can contact us at any time, or if you need some information, you can also find us at any time." Director Xin nodded and said, he didn't suspect anything, this kind of thing should also be, that is, when the national finance needs to build a large-scale expressway, it has to be considered again and again, and enough data will be investigated before it can be determined, and this process will take several months or even longer.

Although Chen Zhiwen is known as a rich country, in contemporary society, that is, it refers to that kind of small country, which is still insufficient compared with big countries, but a country has too many places to spend money, and it may not be as good as others in terms of pure investment.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, in fact, even if you start to contact some now, it's nothing, major investment, from the first contact to the final start of construction, three or five years is actually normal, in the early 90s, you have enough funds, and you shouldn't start checking the information from scratch at that time, etc., at least you can choose which suitable locations to invest, as well as various routes, etc., you can discuss it first, so that when the money from the Japanese market comes out, you can invest immediately.

Besides, the scale of the Japanese market is very large, and there are a lot of funds in it, even if he knows a clear point in time, Chen Zhiwen can't wait until the end to withdraw his funds, and he would rather "make less" a little bit, and he will definitely need to gradually withdraw one or two years earlier, just like in previous years, his funds also entered Japan two or three years in advance, and gradually entered, and everything showed that it was very ordinary.

Looking at the map, Director Xin blew for a while about the future domestic transportation planning, Chen Zhiwen also listened carefully, although they are all plans, but basically there is little difference from later generations, after all, the cities where people live, basically the current these, after thousands of years of civilization development, the cities selected by the ancients are suitable for large-scale development, based on these cities, the future highways, basically come out.

Subsequently, several people came to a conference room upstairs, and after making tea himself, Director Xin said: "Mr. Chen, I invite you to come over this time, and I also officially inform you that the construction project of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway has passed the permission of the central government, and your company can explore the issues of capital, operation and route with the local government." ”

"Okay, thank you, I will also arrange for this project to be finalized as soon as possible, and strive to start construction as soon as possible." Chen Zhiwen said with a light smile.

The central government agreed to start the project, which is also expected, around 85 years, the domestic foreign exchange shortage, even in this life, with a large amount of Chen Zhiwen's investment, as well as a large number of enterprises that can export to earn foreign exchange and Galaxy Trade orders, but for the needs of the whole country, it is still not enough to alleviate the shortage of foreign exchange, on the surface, the country's foreign exchange reserves are only a few billion dollars, but this is only a surplus, similar to the working capital of enterprises, in fact, the domestic import and export trade is as high as tens of billions of dollars.

If you want to solve this problem, you can only wait for the country's economic development to a certain extent, the number of a large number of factories is enough, and start to export to earn foreign exchange.

The investment in the expressway itself can bring foreign exchange, and the choice is in the coastal area, which will facilitate exports after completion, and it is a feeder expressway, under normal circumstances, the government will agree.

However, the current agreement is only for the project itself, just like Hong Kong Disneyland, after the follow-up details are confirmed, it still needs to be approved by the central government.

"With the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway in front, I think the cooperation between Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo will be smoother." Director Xin laughed and said that the project was successfully promoted, for them, not only one more highway, but also a large amount of tax revenue from it, which has also been surfaced, this is the relevant tax generated by the Ministry of Communications, these tax revenues will also be allocated to the Ministry of Communications, and even part of the foreign exchange income, will also be used to purchase overseas large-scale equipment, in order to facilitate the Ministry of Communications' drilling and opening plans in some special places.

"I hope so." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

At the end of the business, a few people chatted casually about some interesting things about the domestic and foreign economy, as well as some transportation situations, Chen Zhiwen also provided some opinions with his own opinions, but I don't know if it is useful or not.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhiwen said goodbye and left, although he knew earlier that the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway project was not a big problem, but when this matter was confirmed, it was a matter, as for the subsequent approval, there will definitely be no problem, the first is to imitate the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangzhou Expressway, there have been more than examples, the second is that the follow-up will only be economic negotiations, harmless, sooner or later can find a balance in the future.

……

The next day, Chen Zhiwen had just finished breakfast and lunch at his old man's five-star hotel, when an assistant walked by him, handed over a copy of the information, and said: "Chen Sheng, this is all the information you want about Haier Electric Appliances in Qingdao City, Lu Province, and a copy of the original newspaper report about the workers of the Haier factory smashing 76 refrigerators." ”

"Okay, it's fast, it's hard." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, then took the information and read it carefully.

Infrastructure investment in the mainland is only a part, although it seems to be large-scale, but the initial investment is very large, even after leveraged loans, and everywhere, investing in some of the most promising future giants, that is the highest rate of return.

10 years ago, when Chen Zhiwen just started his business, even if the funds were tight, it was still incumbent on Wal-Mart to start a large sum when the stock price was low, so as to lay the foundation for the expansion of Galaxy Trade, to this day, Wal-Mart shares have increased tenfold, and in the past ten years, because of the characteristics of its high-quality assets, Chen Zhiwen can also use them as collateral, so as to cash out more funds.

However, in the United States in the 70s, there were too few such gold investment opportunities, and in the 80s, there will be future electronic technology company giants, such as Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, etc., but in today's mainland, there are too many such opportunities, and there are future giant companies everywhere.

Of course, the premise is that you have to know what are the well-known ones, although Chen Zhiwen also traveled from later generations, but he does not have a Forbes list in his head, so he does not know most of the future domestic giants, but it is enough for those who are the most famous in later generations.

Haier, officially one of them, after all, when Chen Zhiwen was a child, he watched the cartoon of "Haier Brothers", and he also bought Haier's electrical appliances after work, so he has a deep memory.

At its peak, it was once the world's No. 1 home appliance giant, and even if it was a little worse, it has always remained at the level of the world's top five.

Although now because of their own existence, especially their direct participation in the household appliances industry, will have an uncontrollable impact on the entire history, but even if the United States Group is awesome in the future, it is impossible to monopolize the electrical appliance market, which is impossible, therefore, instead of having other uncontrollable opponents in the future, it is better to take advantage of the present, invest in these potential companies, and then fund their development, so that even if they become opponents in the future, they also have their shares, or in other words, under the dislocation of competition, It also indirectly has more market share.

As for whether it can rise like the original history after being invested by itself? It may not, but the probability should not be high, after all, it is a capable person, if you get more powerful support, theoretically speaking, the probability of success will only be higher.

After a while, Chen Zhiwen closed all the information and said, "Arrange it, let's go to Qingdao City tomorrow morning!" ”

"You're going in person?" The assistant is a little incredible, the boss pays attention to such a company, maybe because of the "smashing of the refrigerator", and now he has to go in person?

"Yes, let's arrange it." Chen Zhiwen said. (End of chapter)
