610 New opportunities in the Mainland

Some things, although very important, will not be so urgent, mainland investment can last for decades, a few months, will not have much impact, on the contrary, if the mainland on the first day released the news that foreign capital can invest in sole proprietorship, Chen Zhiwen rushed over a few days later, it seems that he is too proactive.

A bigwig in later generations once said that businessmen, cooperation with the government, is like falling in love, and in love, the best model is that the two parties are equal and have a most basic balance, rather than licking.

Time has been long, and it has been June again, two months have passed since the announcement of the foreign investment bill in the mainland, and many small foreign capital has begun to enter the mainland.

After about a certain time, Chen Zhiwen took several of his sub-group leaders to Yanjing City, of course, by chance, because the Arowana edible oil factory invested in Yanjing City was officially opened.

For example, in 1985, the number of people who consumed and bought cars nationwide was 56,000, and this figure does not include government procurement, but purely people outside the government, which may also include some factories, but most of them are still many individuals, especially in big cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, and Guangdong. Other second-class goods, such as air conditioners, have been installed by hundreds of thousands of people, and the average cost of a refrigerator is basically about 5000 yuan, and the cheaper refrigerator TV is in millions, in big cities, refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines have become a three-piece set for marriage, about ten years earlier than the national average.

And oil, is a must for every family, even in ancient times, firewood, rice, oil and salt is also one of the most basic four pieces, in the past, basically are the folk oil model, everyone is used to it and do not feel anything bad, but when Arowana launched a small plastic bottle of edible oil, immediately let everyone's eyes shine, this is too convenient, and from the sensory point of view, it is also more hygienic and clean, and more advanced.

Therefore, when Arowana began to go to major cities in the mainland in 84, sales immediately soared, and factories in Hong Kong and Shenhai City were in short supply at all, and the management of Arowana Company did not expect that the demand in some parts of the mainland could exceed the total demand for the world through the galaxy trade, and the amount of oil used in Chinese food was far from being comparable to Europe and the United States.

Therefore, Red Bull Group agreed to Arowana's application, and at the end of 84, it was ready to build a super-large-scale oil refining base in China to meet domestic demand, and at the same time, by reducing costs, it can also be exported to the European and American markets.

In this era, the mainland is still a grain exporter, the three northeastern provinces are still super granary, the world's only one of the three black soil, the annual production of an amazing number of soybeans, just convenient for Arowana to buy raw materials for oil refining, at the same time, all in the internal circulation, can also avoid a large amount of foreign exchange consumption, after all, the main sales target of the Arowana factory, but in the country, even if not because this is Chen Zhiwen investment project, before 85 years, want to make domestic money, basically impossible.

However, the location of Arowana is not in the Northeast, but Yanjing, mainly considering the traffic problem, Yanjing City has the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway and the Tanggu Port not far away, whether it is to buy raw materials or shipments, it is very convenient, and it is not troublesome to transport to the central and western parts of the mainland, more importantly, this is the imperial capital, build factories here, drive a lot of employment and local economy, what problems are encountered in sales in other places, it is easier to solve.

It took a year and a half to open after the completion of the Yanjing Arowana factory, and Chen Zhiwen and others were invited to visit the entire factory, with an area of 675 acres, an annual oil output of more than 250,000 tons, and the number of jobs directly driven by it was as high as 8,000 people. Such a factory, even in Yanjing, can be regarded as a very large scale.

For the future can be obtained in the domestic edible oil part of the market, Chen Zhiwen is also very happy, this market is not less than Coke, a is enough to build a giant close to the world's top 500, and so on in the future scale, coupled with the domestic market, then in the field of global soybeans, corn procurement, may have a certain right to speak, although the total output value of agriculture is far less than the industry, but it is the foundation of any country, with such a right, can even control some small agricultural countries, Or to have a lot of influence on a medium-sized country like Argentina.

Of course, it is still far from the level of the four major grain merchants, which is also the direction that I need to pursue in the future.

After seeing the edible oil factory of Arowana, Chen Zhiwen came to several KFC stores in Yanjing City, this kind of pure store, as long as you are willing to invest money, it is very fast to open, and it can be renovated and started in two or three months, the only problem is that the government does not agree, and today, in Yanjing City, there are already 16 KFC stores, which has become one of the favorite restaurants for many people in Yanjing City. Similarly, in the big cities of Shenhai, Yuezhou, Jinling, and Shanghai, there are also a large number of KFC openings, and the number is about to exceed 100.

This is the added benefit of Chen Zhiwen's large investment in China in the early days, and KFC can now easily do these applications that others would not have agreed to, whereas in the past, the progress was too slow. Of course, this is also related to Chen Zhiwen's promise that he will not transfer foreign exchange and leave within ten years, and with Chen Zhiwen's face and no loss of foreign exchange, the central and local governments will naturally give face.

The rapid advancement of KFC is actually faster than Chen Zhiwen imagined, and the taste of people in this era is weaker, even if it is rich, because a good food business environment also depends on the entire economy and society, in poor places, you can not eat anything good if you are rich, this is the case in many places in China, and the taste of KFC, although it is still a little not completely suitable for China, but it is also rolled out of the highly competitive market in the United States, and even the United States has mixed to the top few levels. In the country, there are naturally a lot of delicacies.

Domestic high-end food may be better, but the price is not something that ordinary people can eat, therefore, KFC's positioning is just in the middle, providing a large number of high-calorie and high-taste food for the middle class, as well as better seasonings.

A few days later, Chen Zhiwen met with a director Lin from the commerce department, who was in charge of the domestic terminal retail industry, and the meeting place was a conference room in the newly completed first phase of the Yanjing International Trade Center building.

After three years, the Yanjing International Trade Center has finally been completed, which is a combination of hotels, businesses, conference venues, and entertainment facilities, which can be said to be the most suitable place for overseas people to entertain and relax in the entire Yanjing City. After all, Hongkong Land's large amount of management experience may not work in Yanjing, and even if it continues to expand in this field in the future, it will need to be learned gradually.

"Director Lin, please be seated." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, and an assistant served tea.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time." Director Lin also said with a smile that Chen Zhiwen has a lot of investment in Yanjing, and naturally has a lot of contact with officials from the central commerce department, so the two also know each other. Moreover, even if it is in Shanghai, Shenhai or other places, small investments are discussed locally, and large investments still have to be discussed with the central government, and the things in front of him, which can make him come forward in person, are all big investments.

"More than two months ago, China introduced new regulations that foreign capital can be independent, and I, as a Hong Kong Chinese, am very happy that this day has appeared, which means that a large number of Hong Kong capital and overseas Chinese capital can enter the country for investment, millions of jobs, and can also help tens of millions of people get out of trouble." Chen Zhiwen said again.

This is definitely not a lie, although Hong Kong's capital is not charity, and it must be because the labor here is cheaper, but there are also many people who really want to get their hometowns or Chinese groups out of difficulties, and many Hong Kong capitalists do not want to invest in Guangdong Province, which is close to Hong Kong, but insist on returning to their hometowns, and would rather pay more for a long time, which is the purpose.

However, the restrictions of various joint ventures still make many people feel hesitant, they want to help their hometown or mainland Chinese, but it does not mean that they can lose their careers, this kind of thing, it must be more perfect after being able to do both.

Now that you can invest alone, there will be a lot less worries, and it will be much easier to operate capital, in the original history, it was the policy of the mainland that accelerated the relocation of a large number of Hong Kong factories to the mainland, which also indirectly accelerated the decline of Hong Kong's industry.

Of course, this is not the main reason, the main reason is the price of the house. If Hong Kong's housing prices have been rising, and there is no high-quality industrial potential base such as the mainland next door, then Hong Kong's industry will also be transferred to other parts of Asia, or, if you can't find it, it may be closed, after all, do industry, how can real estate make money, Chen Zhiwen If he is reborn this year, then he will still be a ghost industry, turn his head and go to finance or real estate, everyone likes to make quick money, and even a developed country will have deindustrialization and financial hollowing.

"Haha, to be able to attract more Hong Kong investment, our central government is naturally very happy." Director Lin smiled and said: "Chen Sheng has also invested a lot in China over the years, but I can see that the former joint venture policy seems to be bothering you, and now this one is gone, I think many of our cities are very welcome to Chen Sheng to invest." ”

"We are naturally very interested in investment in the mainland, which currently has a large number of intellectuals and a large number of young labor, which is very suitable for my factories, and I also intend to transfer the production capacity of many industries in Hong Kong to the mainland, which can be said to be a win-win situation for all parties, but in addition to the factories, we are also very interested in the mainland market." Chen Zhiwen paused and said.

Don't look at the current per capita education level in the mainland, which can be counted as the base of 1 billion people, there will still be a large number of potential high-quality workers, as long as the wages paid are higher than the average, it is equivalent to an endless number of high-quality labor, which is like the factory in Shenhai City, while paying a little more wages, you can find a large number of junior high school students to be workers, and this level of education is no less than that of ordinary workers in Hong Kong.

Nowadays, the Hong Kong real estate market is gradually heating up, and the wind of speculation has risen, and a large number of scalpers can appear every time a real estate is opened, and even gangs are involved, because the income from selling F may not be as good as that of flipping houses.

In this environment, the huge upper and lower industrial chains involving tens of thousands of people must also need to be transferred, and they can't wait until the end, otherwise the instantaneous impact will seriously affect the Hong Kong market, and even the quality of their own company's products will also have an impact.

After all, except for Shenhai City, other places are not allowed by law, and if you want to obtain a license, you need to negotiate with the central government, which also seriously restricts Midea's investment, after all, even if he Chen Zhiwen has face, it is impossible for him to come forward for many small and medium-sized projects, right? Those who can be invested in are also those large-scale projects, and now from the legal level, this requirement is gone, so Chen Zhiwen only needs to be directly authorized, and there is no need to ask, and the people below will naturally choose the right place to invest according to market demand.

However, as a fair deal, their own large investment can continue to bring a large amount of foreign exchange to the country, to solve the problem of the country's lack of foreign exchange, then they naturally have to have income, the mainland market is so large, rather than the future of so many countries cheaper foreign capital, it is better to cheapen yourself, after all, you can now bring a lot of real benefits to the mainland, on the other hand, other foreign brands, may be purely to make money.

"Chen Sheng, your company's electronic products should have obtained the relevant license a long time ago, right?" Director Lin asked puzzled, in the past few years, the core of Chen Zhiwen's various transactions with the mainland was that his products could be sold in China, and because he brought a large amount of foreign exchange, the upper echelons of the country agreed.

"Although it can be sold in China, there are not many sales, and even a lot of sales are not under our control. Chen Zhiwen said that although the license is available, it is another matter to want to sell it.

"What does Chen Sheng mean by that he wants the national market to purchase more of your company's goods? This shouldn't be a big deal. Director Lin thought for a while and said, "I can ask the relevant departments to arrange it." ”

"Director Lin, you misunderstood what I meant." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said: "Even if you agree today, the relevant departments also agree, but this kind of thing involves too many people and too many interest disputes, and it is very difficult to expand a brand in the terminal, and even if it is successful now, if it doesn't work again next year, I can't come to you, right?" ”

"What does Chen Sheng mean?" Director Lin also thinks that there is some reason, it is true that the above can give orders, but there is too much room for such a thing to operate, and it involves cities across the country, although the central government is not unable to control it, but it is impossible to hold everyone accountable for such a trivial matter.

"I want to invest in department stores or supermarkets in China and control the channels myself." Chen Zhiwen said. (End of chapter)
