Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 276 Senior Yuan Yi——
Started to write the story of the reform phase.But I haven't grasped the right balance yet. The articles I wrote recently were always banned. The editor was also very uncomfortable and gave me a lot of suggestions.

I think it will get better gradually, so please forgive me, book friends.

January 1980, 1, Li Guocheng still remembers this day vividly.

In the past, he had been trying hard to invest and build a factory in Pengcheng, but he had never been able to do so.Later, I was busy with TV research and development, so I gave up all social activities.

Today, Li Guocheng saw an old man in his 60s as soon as he got to work. He was waiting in the corridor with Chen Yuhe beside him, trying to persuade him.

Hearing the movement, both of them looked at him.

Chen Yuhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Chairman, you are here, this old gentleman has been here many times, the first few times, you were busy with work and did not see outsiders.

The old gentleman came today and asked him to sit and wait in the conference room, but the old gentleman insisted on waiting for you in the corridor."

The old man stood there with a smile, waiting for the little girl to complain.

The old man is thin and his hair is thinning, but he has taken care of it very smoothly and neatly.The clothes are a Chinese tunic suit that is common in the mainland, and there are two pens in the pockets of the jacket.

After Chen Yuhe finished speaking, the old man walked forward steadily and extended his hands enthusiastically.Li Guocheng didn't dare to exaggerate and hurriedly clasped his hands.

"Old Yuan Yi, I am the executive vice chairman of the Hong Kong Merchants Group. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."

The old man spoke in a calm and gentle manner, with firm eyes and a straight posture.

Li Guocheng was a little confused. He really didn't know who this gentleman was.

In fact, this man is known as the enlightening master of China's reform. Under his leadership, he founded China's first export-oriented industrial park: Shekou Industrial Zone.

During the development and construction of the Shekou Industrial Zone, he insisted on reform and innovation, promoted the liberation of ideas, talents, and productivity, and built the Shekou Industrial Zone into "a place that cultivates the most well-known enterprises per unit area."

The well-known "Shekou Model" has been formed, and it has played the role of "test tube" and "window" for first-hand trials, providing valuable experience for China's reform and opening up.

He put forward the slogan "time is money, efficiency is life", implemented open recruitment for talents for the first time in the country, and took the lead in implementing the enterprise management system, distribution system, infrastructure system, cadre and personnel system, housing system, social security system, financial reform, etc. A series of reform experiments set 24 firsts in the country at that time.

Although Li Guocheng didn't know that this gentleman was a harmonious person, he understood the "Executive Vice Chairman of China Merchants Hong Kong".

"Ah, when was this China Merchants Bureau established?"

"Early 79".

"Chairman, please invite the guest to sit down in the office and then chat. The old man has been here for more than an hour."

"Excuse me, please," Li Guocheng turned sideways to make a false quotation.

The old man took Li Guocheng's arm and "went with him."

"Ah! Yes, let's go together."

After the guests and hosts were seated in the office, Chen Yuhe served two cups of tea and left.

"Old sir, I heard that you have been here many times?"

"I visited China Merchants Bureau once after its establishment and once in the middle of last year. It's no coincidence that you have been busy with work. I will go back to Pengcheng in the fourth quarter to handle matters. It is really presumptuous to come to visit on the first day of this year."

"Last year I was busy with the TV production line. I have a problem. Once I go to work, I don't see outsiders. Please forgive me."

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Cheng, who is the chairman of the board, would actually do it personally and insist on scientific research. I really admire him."

"I am not doing my job properly. I don't know what the old gentleman is doing."

"To be honest, I am asking you, a great master, to invest in Pengcheng."

Li Guocheng sighed for a while. Last year, he went back and forth to Pengcheng several times to implement investment matters, but all efforts were in vain.I didn't expect it. I really couldn't find it without wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. The ancients were honest and could not be deceived.

"I have always been very optimistic about China's development, and investing in China has always been my intention. I don't know what policies there are for investing in China."

“The two-year exemption and three-year half-reduction policy currently implemented in Shekou means that foreign-invested enterprises can enjoy two-year exemption from corporate income tax and a three-year half-reduction of corporate income tax starting from the tax year in which they obtain their first production and operation income.

Advanced technology-based enterprises established with foreign investment can enjoy tax exemption for three years and 3% reduction of corporate income tax for six years.

For export-oriented enterprises, in addition to enjoying the above-mentioned two-year exemption and three-year income tax reduction preferential treatment, as long as the company's annual export volume accounts for more than 70% of the company's total sales, they can enjoy a [-]% reduction in corporate income tax.

For foreign-invested enterprises that purchase domestic equipment within the total investment amount, if such imported equipment falls within the scope of the import tax-free catalog, corporate income tax can be deducted according to regulations.

For investment in high-tech enterprises or export enterprises, the site use fee is exempted."

Li Guocheng was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't expect the country to pay so much in order to attract foreign investment.

He knows that the corporate income tax rate in the special zone is 15%, but the current tax rate for large and medium-sized domestic enterprises is 55%.

Li Guocheng did not hesitate and told everything about his plans.

"To be honest, Mr. Longhua, you also know the nature of Longhua Technology. Our company had already made plans a year ago to invest in home appliance production lines in the mainland, including TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, telephones, and fax machines."

The more Li Guocheng spoke, the more excited the old man became, and his right hand on the armrest of the sofa was already trembling slightly.

He understands the old man very well. As an old revolutionary, he has personally done everything he can to find investment in Hong Kong.And it is foreseeable that they are all OEM companies, and their technical content is not high.

Suddenly I heard that the production lines that all over the country have been trying to introduce can actually be produced in the mainland. This is really high-tech.How could he not be excited.

"Old sir, please drink some water first." After the old man's mood stabilized, Li Guocheng continued: "Longhua is ready to invest 20 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"what!"

Although the old man didn't knock over the teacup, his expression seemed to be like seeing a ghost. The investment he got was at most 100W Hong Kong dollars, and the least was only 15 Hong Kong dollars.

When Li Guocheng said the investment amount of 20 Hong Kong dollars, his first reaction was that he heard wrongly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng, I didn't hear clearly." He looked nervous now, and he really hoped to hear 20 billion instead of 20W.

"20 billion Hong Kong dollars".

The old man who got the affirmative answer first widened his eyes and pursed his lips. It took him a long time to react.Slowly he sat upright, straightened his clothes, and stood up.

"Mr. Cheng, I thank you on behalf of the people of Pengcheng", and he was about to bend down and bow.

Li Guocheng didn't dare to let the old man salute. He stood up in a hurry and held the old man's arms with both hands. "You can't do it, old sir. This is a win-win situation. I went to Pengcheng to invest to make money, so you don't have to be so polite."

"That's different, that's different." The old man's eyes were a little moist, and he sat down slowly without insisting.

Li Guocheng saw the old man's behavior and understood very well what his generation was thinking. They gave all their love to this troubled country.

Never minding personal gains and losses, the nearly 70-year-old man travels back and forth between the mainland and Hong Kong, in order to help the country get rid of poverty as soon as possible and become prosperous and strong.

He really wanted to tell the old man that he was also from China, and everything he was doing now was for the development of China's science and technology.

But he can't, at least not now. He still needs the identity of a Hong Kong businessman.He is not coveting those preferential policies, but doing it for the convenience of the future.
