The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 491 Power Plant Investment Plan
It's not that Chen Zhiwen doesn't pay attention to it, but at today's level of worth, local government officials will want to meet him wherever he goes, even if there is no big investment, this may be the case both in the mainland and overseas.

And if Chen Zhiwen takes it seriously every time and meets each other as soon as possible, then do we still have to live a normal life?
Unless it's a national-level official or a local business tycoon who comes to meet once in a while, that's naturally not a problem.

Therefore, when going to a new place, he also wants to see and play around first, especially the mainland, which has undergone rapid changes in the past few years, and his family is also together, so it is natural to focus on playing.

Besides, although the investment is two-way, the mainland needs this project, and Chen Zhiwen also needs some infrastructure, labor and other advantages in the mainland, but no matter what, he still has the absolute advantage. Even if he has negotiated with domestic high-level officials, then the local government In the face of large investments, there are no necessary necessities that can be obtained.

Because Chen Zhiwen can choose to invest in any city, he has absolute control over this.

……

In the next few days, Chen Zhiwen still accompanied his family to play in some natural scenic spots in Guangdong City. As for Guangdong City, he only walked around before going to bed at night. Although Guangdong City is currently pretty good in the mainland, Compared with Shanghai Yanjing, it is still a little worse. Chen Zhiwen focuses on various goods in various local retail stores and large department stores. There are actually great business opportunities here. An ordinary person, if he wants to do business , if you look around places like this, you will know what the current market needs.

Of course, this trick was only suitable in the 80s, and it will be useless after a few decades. There are everything that should be available in supermarkets. Even if you come up with something that is not available, people will not want it, because in this era, there is a shortage of goods. Basically, as long as the goods are available, they can be sold. After a few decades, it will be completely the opposite. When the market develops for a long time, the ideas that ordinary people can think of have also been thought of by other predecessors.

As he knows, there are very few foreign-invested items in various retail establishments that mainly target the domestic market. Even the food, beverages and home appliances produced by Chen Zhiwen in Shanghai and Yanjing factories are not in large quantities, but they are not sold to the outside world. There are many Friendship Stores in there, as well as other brands, such as Japanese home appliances, American Liangle Coke, etc.

From this point of view, someone in China is quite smart. His initial investment required that his products can be sold domestically while ensuring a balance of foreign exchange. The mainland also agreed. However, the channels and other things are all in the mainland. What is controlled here and sent to Friendship Stores for sale is also considered sold in the mainland, and the mainland side gets the foreign exchange.

Of course, maybe this is just in Guangdong, which is close to Hong Kong. A large number of Hong Kong people come to invest here, and many Hong Kong people themselves are from here. Even if not, out of consideration of taking care of their families, they will bring their relatives to the deep sea or Guangdong. State, therefore, there are a large number of foreign exchange certificates here.

However, for Chen Zhiwen, the difference is actually not big. No matter how you put it, things are sold. Even if they are bought with foreign exchange coupons, they must be in the hands of mainland families. It is impossible for someone to buy things from the mainland and then Shipped back to Hong Kong?In terms of cost, this is definitely not comparable to the price in Hong Kong.

As for the impact on sales, it does not exist, because currently, the sales of our own products in the mainland are restricted by regulations. How many US dollars can be exported to sell domestically. Even the newly established SAIC Volkswagen must abide by this It is required that various restrictions will be further relaxed only after the 90s.

However, if this investment comes to fruition and the export of goods reaches US$10 billion a year, then the various products of his own will surely be sold domestically far more than those of other international peer brands.

After the fun was almost over, Chen Zhiwen had to deal with some business matters.

"Mr. Chen, please sit down. Our city government building is a bit old. Please don't worry about it, Mr. Chen." Qian Lansheng, a deputy mayor in charge of economics in Guangdong City, said with a smile.

"Mayor Qian is very polite." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "With the current speed of domestic economic development, I don't think there will be a large number of high-rise buildings in Guangdong City in a few years."

Although having high-rise buildings does not necessarily mean that the economy is strong, for example, many European countries do not have them, but for developing countries, this is a symbol of a strong economy. This is basically the mentality in the country today.

"Thank you for your kind words from Mr. Chen." Mayor Qian said with a smile. This sentence really spoke to his heart. Nowadays, high-rise buildings are being built all over the country. Yanjing, Shanghai, Even Shenhai City is the same. Many state-owned enterprises behind construction companies are clamoring to build the tallest building in China, so they asked: "Mr. Chen, our Guangdong City also welcomes foreign investment. Do you If you are interested, you can build a few buildings here."

Although a super factory with an output value of more than 10 billion US dollars is even more valuable and is what all the leaders of open cities in the country want most, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate and settle this kind of thing overnight. Instead of doing this, it is better to first By attracting other investments, we might be able to increase our connections and increase the probability of the Gigafactory settling in Guangdong. "Can it be a sole proprietorship? My property projects are basically sole proprietorships. If it's a joint venture, it's not that I don't like it, but I think there is no need for a joint venture to build a house purely and simply." Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

On the mainland, he has invested a lot, and there are also some joint ventures, such as the Yanjing Jeep factory, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Expressway, and some manufacturing factories in Yanjing and Shanghai. However, this is also a last resort under the policy, and will wait until later. When the factory can become a sole proprietor, he will definitely take back his shares. This was discussed with representatives of the local joint venture partners and a certain agreement was reached during the initial investment. There is only a car factory, and there is no way to change it.

As for simple real estate, he is even less willing to joint venture. Over the years, the country has actually invited him to build hotels in the mainland several times, but he has not agreed. He just pushed the opportunity to his old man or other friends. This business is definitely profitable. , but he felt there was no need to participate because it was too troublesome to start a joint venture. It was just about building a house and doing it according to his own ideas.

"That's no problem. I know that Shenhai City has allowed Hong Kong investors to build separate buildings. Although we can't say that it is completely allowed, it can be discussed." Mayor Qian replied: "However, the quantity and In terms of scale, there may be requirements.”

In China, the current attitude towards open cities like them is to be bold and try. Even factories, some of which can be discussed as sole proprietorships, let alone buildings.But if this kind of thing is small, you can decide by yourself. If it is too big, you still have to report it.

"Well, if there are any large-scale construction plans in Guangdong City, you can inform Hutchison Whampoa." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.Under the current domestic situation, there is no need for large-scale investment. The main reason is that the time is relatively early, and some good locations can be acquired first, and wait for a few years at most, because soon, the country will also start to try to open some land. It was auctioned, and some of them allowed foreign investment.

"Mr. Chen, as the person in charge of the economy, I have always believed that if a region wants to have a good economy, it must have large factories. I also know the plans of Midea Group." Mayor Qian said with a smile: "This matter, We in Guangdong City also know that it is impossible to decide now, but we still ask Mr. Chen to give us a chance. We promise that we will do our best to come up with the best cooperation plan for the American group."

"Mayor Qian, actually, it may be difficult to implement this project in Guangdong." Chen Zhiwen paused and said.

"Why is this?" Mayor Qian suddenly became a little anxious. He didn't expect Chen Zhiwen to make any promises at first, he was just being polite. After all, major cities across the country and even abroad would fight for such a project, but if it was rejected, then there would be no Same.

"Because of the electricity problem." Chen Zhiwen said: "Guangdong City, the power supply during this period is not available."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, as long as your project can be settled in Guangdong, we will definitely supply it with all our strength to ensure that there are no problems with the factory." Mayor Qian quickly assured.

This is indeed true. Before the reform, in fact, Eastern Guangdong Province could only be said to be a province with an average domestic economy. In addition, due to military considerations, many large factories in coastal cities were moved to the mainland. The economy was not good and the There is not much industry, which naturally results in the local electricity level being very average.

After the reform, the mainland began to attract foreign investment. Coupled with the increase in labor costs in Hong Kong, a large number of factories moved here. The most suitable place for this was naturally Guangdong Province. Although a large amount of foreign exchange was brought in, the power supply was immediately stretched.

"This is okay, but there is another option, which is to build this power plant ourselves." Chen Zhiwen said: "Hong Kong's Hong Kong Electric Group has internal intentions to invest abroad. If Guangdong City allows it, we can come here. Build several large-scale power plants, which can not only supply any factory, but also urban civilians.”

"HK Electric, I have heard that if Hong Kong capital is willing to invest in power plants, we will naturally welcome it." Mayor Qian did not think much about it. Foreign investment is allowed to participate in domestic infrastructure facilities, but everything must be reported to the central government. So now it's just an attitude. What happens next depends on the central government.

"Okay, but the matter of the power plant is not necessarily related to Midea's factory." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile again.

"Of course." Mayor Qian nodded.
