Chapter 419: Scale-by-scale industrial bases (Part 1)

Although Li Xuan began to change his attitude and intended to let Dongfang Game Company go public in the United States, this matter was not achieved overnight. And as Du Wenqiang said, Dongfang Game Company is actually not short of money.

With the current ability of Dongfang Game Company to attract money, as long as Li Xuan shows a little bit of air, those investment bank managers on Wall Street will rush to fight for food like mad dogs. Therefore, Li Xuan has enough confidence to bargain with them slowly and strive for the best interests for himself.

At the end of May, South China has entered the summer of prosperity. The largest amusement center in Southeast Asia, China Entertainment City, located in the deep-sea special zone, opens its doors to welcome visitors.

"Wow, there are so many people, the queue is so long!"

Zhong Chuhong took off her luxurious dress today, but changed to a fresh route. A simple casual outfit made her look like a 28-year-old girl, not a hot mom with two children at all.

It's just that although a pair of toad mirrors covered most of her face, her natural beauty is hard to give up, and she can still attract a lot of amazing eyes. Li Xuan took the beautiful woman's hand and looked at the glances of the people around him from time to time, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"Hey, your husband, I'm doing business, just put a hundred hearts on it!" Li Xuan said that he changed a few tickets from his hand.

China Entertainment City deliberately chose to open on Saturday, and the media in Hong Kong and Shenzhen carried out intensive bombing-style publicity before. So today's crowding is also predictable, and even the flow of people from Hong Kong to the deep-sea special zone is much more than in the past. Many Hong Kong citizens were attracted by the title of "the largest amusement center in Southeast Asia" in the publicity, and came to experience it for themselves.

"Rail car, roller coaster, big turntable, Ferris wheel, which one do you want to play first!" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"I'm not going to play the roller coaster. What is this rail car? Let's play this first!" Zhong Chuhong flipped through the stack of tickets that Li Xuan handed him, and first put the two roller coasters that Li Xuan placed on top. Tickets to the project were waived.

"As you wish!" Li Xuan smiled. He also knew that his wife's courage was limited.

When the two came to the entrance of the rail car project, Zhong Chuhong looked at the sky not far away. When there are at least several floors of railroad tracks, my heart begins to worry.

But before she could rush to retreat, Li Xuan put his arms around her waist and walked quickly inside. Li Xuan seems to have returned to the time when the two first met a few years ago, and they went to Ocean Park to play. Zhong Chuhong was also dragged by him in the same way, and he went on a roller coaster ride.

The greatest joy of men coming to amusement parks is not to experience the excitement of these amusement facilities, but to show their masculine charm in front of the screaming girls. The high-altitude orbit is five kilometers long. Around the entire entertainment city in a circle. Sitting on the seat, you can't see the tracks under the train, so it feels as if the whole person is suspended in mid-air.

In fact, this project is much gentler than the roller coaster with a height difference of 45 meters and two 360-degree rotations not far away. Especially for people like Li Xuan who like to choose a seat by the window to enjoy the scenery outside when flying, this height is not a big deal.

But Zhong Chuhong was a little afraid of heights, so she tightly closed her eyes and didn't dare to open her eyes. Li Xuan had no choice but to gently hold her hands and keep comforting them. It was not until the train had driven half a circle that she finally had the courage to open her eyes.

After overcoming the initial fear of heights, Zhong Chuhong soon began to enjoy the enthusiasm of climbing high and looking into the distance. At an altitude of more than ten meters, the entire Chinese entertainment city around it has a panoramic view. In the distance, the rippling water of Xiangmi Lake and the green grass-lined scenery of the golf course are even more beautiful.

China Entertainment City is actually a part of Xiangmihu Resort. The entire Xiangmihu Resort includes high-end hotels, golf courses, sports centers and China Entertainment City. It is one of the largest Sino-foreign joint venture projects that have been built in the Deep Sea Special Zone.

Speaking of which, Xiangmihu Resort and Li Xuan also have a lot of origins. At the end of 1981. Special Development Group was established in the deep-sea special zone to better develop the special zone. The first major project launched by SDG Group after its establishment is Xiangmihu Resort.

However, the planned investment of this project is as high as several hundred million Hong Kong dollars. It is impossible for the SAR government to spend such a large sum of money to build a resort. So the only way is to attract foreign investment. However, at that time, Hong Kong people were far less optimistic about the prospects of the deep-sea special zone and China than they were a few years later.

SDG has issued cooperation invitations like many large companies in Hong Kong. But most of them were politely rejected, including the Xu family's Zhou Xing Real Estate. Once Xu Jiankui mentioned this incident to Li Xuan inadvertently. However, Li Xuan was very aware of the development prospects of the deep-sea special zone, so he simply encouraged him to invest in his own name.

Although Xu Jiankui has the identity of the rich and powerful son of Xu family, his family's property is run by his elders. In fact, he can only receive hundreds of thousands of pocket money every month. In the end, Li Xuan, a friend, came forward to help him endorse, and Xu Jiankui loaned 140 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank.

And it is Jiahua Bank under Li Xuan's name that provides funds for Xu Jiankui. The total investment of the entire Xiangmihu Resort is as high as 350 million Hong Kong dollars, of which Xu Jiankui invested 140 million Hong Kong dollars, accounting for 40% of the shares. And SDG invested 210 million, accounting for 60% of the shares.

Among the 210 million Hong Kong dollars investment of SDG, 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be invested in the form of land shares, and another 110 million Hong Kong dollars will be invested in cash. And this 100 million Hong Kong dollars also comes from the credit of Jiahua Bank.

Relying on the Xiangmihu Resort project, Jiahua Bank established a good relationship with the Deep Sea Special Economic Zone and began to fully enter the mainland market. This time, Li Xuan was invited by Xu Jiankui, the major shareholder, to take his wife Zhong Chuhong to Xiangmihu Resort for vacation.

After the two played the monorail, Li Xuan originally wanted to take his wife to experience the roller coaster, but Zhong Chuhong didn't dare to try it. In the end, Li Xuan had to settle for the next best thing, and took his lover to take a romantic Ferris wheel. It's been a long time since the two of them had such unrestrained, unbridled fun.

As the Hong Kong investor of the resort, Xu Jiankui naturally had to accompany the leaders of the SAR who came to attend the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning. It was not until the evening that he found time to ask Li Xuan to play golf together.

Xiangmihu Resort has a standard par 72 course. A well-known stadium designer in Europe was specially invited to be responsible for the design. The construction cost of this stadium alone is as high as 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

certainly. For the Chinese in the 1980s, golf was still a bit unfamiliar. This Xiangmihu club implements a membership system. At this stage, it is mainly aimed at the wealthy class of Hong Kong.

Golf is a popular and elegant sport among the upper class in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is so small and crowded that there are only two golf courses in Deep Water Bay and Fanling, which makes it difficult to meet everyone's needs. Therefore, the newly opened Xiangmihu Golf Club appeared at the right time.

And Xu Jiankui, relying on the connections behind the Xu family, even brought in more than 100 members to the club before it even opened. You must know that golf is by no means a civilian sport. Ordinary members set by the Xiangmihu Club also need an annual fee of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. The annual fee for corporate membership is as high as HK$100,000. And becoming a member does not mean that you can play for free, every time you come to the golf course to swing, you will also be charged, but you can enjoy some special benefits!

"Boss Xu is getting more and more gold this time!" Li Xuan joked to Xu Jiankui who came forward.

Although it was the first day of business, there were already many guests swinging on the golf course. Most of these people knew Xu Jiankui, and some of them joined the membership because of his face. Xu Jiankui naturally wanted to go up to greet the guests.

"How dare I compare my ability to you, Li Sheng, and I still owe you a debt to the old man!" Xu Jiankui scolded with a smile.

When Jiahua Bank signed a credit contract with Xu Jiankui and SDG, there was a special clause stating that the contract amount was measured in US dollars. At the beginning, Jiahua Bank was the project of Xiangmihu Resort. A total of 250 million Hong Kong dollars of loans were issued, which was equivalent to about 50 million US dollars at that time.

But at the latest Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, the $50 million that Xu Jiankui and SDG need to repay has turned into 390 million Hong Kong dollars. That is to say, because of the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar. Jiahua Bank made an extra profit of 140 million Hong Kong dollars out of thin air.

This kind of earning ability has to make Xu Jiankui admire the five-body cast. You must know that Jiahua Bank can also earn another huge loan interest from the Xiangmihu project.

Fortunately, Li Xuan at least did not do anything. After signing the contract, Xu Jiankui and SDG were kindly reminded to pay attention to the depreciation risk of the Hong Kong dollar. At that time, the Special Development Group was a little unconvinced. In fact, unless they are majoring in international finance, most of the mainland officials in this era. There is no concept of exchange rate risk at all.

Fortunately, Xu Jiankui was 100% convinced of Li Xuan and strongly demanded that the Hong Kong dollar funds in the joint venture company's account be transferred into US dollars. The Special Administrative Region is adjacent to Hong Kong, and most of the foreign imports are made through Hong Kong channels, so in many cases, the US dollar is not as convenient as the Hong Kong dollar.

But Xu Jiankui was very insistent, and it was not easy for the special development company to offend the Hong Kong investors because of this little trouble. This also allowed the joint venture project to escape the exchange rate loss of the Hong Kong dollar crisis in 1983.

"My brother Jianheng has returned to Hong Kong after graduating from college this month. My second uncle asked me to ask you, can Aheng be allowed to work in the Oriental Group?" Xu Jiankui said.

Only then did Li Xuan know that the husband of the Hong Kong sister had finished studying, and Xu Jianheng had been his best man at the beginning. Although Li Xuan was not willing to let this **** come to work in the Oriental Group, but because of the close relationship between the Xu family and himself, he could not refuse directly, so he should just keep an idler in the company.

Xu Jiankui seemed to have guessed what Li Xuan was thinking. He shook his head lightly and continued to explain: "My second uncle means that I don't want Aheng to continue to hang out with such friends. Aheng actually admires you. You can be his idol. In fact, when he went to college in the United States, he studied business, but later changed to electronics!

I originally wanted Aheng to come to Shunchang Electronics to work, but the second uncle said that his company could not hold him back. It's better to go to someone else's company to really suffer a little bit. "

Li Xuan smiled casually, the Xu Jianheng in his memory had no talent except for countless scandals. Before Li Xuan's rebirth, he was over fifty years old, and he still hadn't been able to enter the management of Xu's enterprise.

"If Aheng is willing to settle down and marry and learn something, he can be in charge of our industrial construction in the special zone with Aaron!" Li Xuan thought for a while and said.

Since Xu Shixun intends to polish his son, Li Xuan naturally wants to cooperate. But he is not good at being a villain even as an outsider. It is really hard to put this Xu Gongzi to the grassroots level.

Ke Lilun is in charge of building an industrial base in the deep-sea special zone, which is also one of the most important recent events of the Oriental Group. This work is a lot of work, and it can train people very much.

From a micro perspective, you can experience a series of processes from project establishment to production. From a macro perspective, how is a large industry with a total output value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars laid out?

Xu Jiankui nodded happily, obviously very satisfied with Li Xuan's arrangement. Xu Jianheng's transfer to major in electronics can actually be said to be a microcosm of Li Xuan's influence on Hong Kong. Because of his appearance, more and more funds in Hong Kong have begun to flow to the electronics industry in recent years.

For example, Shunchang Electronics, which Xu Jiankui mentioned just now, is an attempt by the Xu family to extend its tentacles into the electronics industry. At the beginning, Xu Aizhou became a prominent ship king in Hong Kong by operating the Shunchang shipping industry, and also laid the foundation of Xu's wealthy family. However, in recent years, the Xu family has almost sold out the ships under Shunchang Shipping Industry, and the main asset of the family has become Zhouxing Real Estate Company.

But the Xu family obviously did not forget the word "Shunchang" that they started from. As early as more than two years ago, the Xu family bought out a series of technologies for portable music players from the Oriental Research Institute, and with the large-scale support of the Oriental Group, built a factory to produce their own Walkman products on a large scale.

In the past two years, Shunchang Electronics Co., Ltd. has developed rapidly. Its Walkman and other products have also successfully penetrated into two important markets, Europe and the United States, with the support of Dongfang Commercial.

Not only the Xu family who has a close relationship with Li Xuan~www.readwn.com~ Under the legendary case of "God of Fortune Li", other giants in Hong Kong have also begun to test the waters of the electronics industry. In recent years, a large part of the venture capital invested in the electronic field in Hong Kong comes from these rich and powerful people.

Li Xuan is naturally very welcome to this situation. For this reason, he also specially adjusted some strategies of Dongfang Group to better guide and accept these funds into the electronics industry.

For example, in the name of the company, Dongfang Group has begun to share many key projects with these foreign investors when it builds a TV industry base in the deep-sea special zone. The core component of the TV is the picture tube. The company plans to build an annual production capacity of 10 million picture tubes in the deep-sea special zone.

The kinescope manufacturing industry can also be divided into many steps, such as glass bulb factory, phosphor powder factory, shadow mask factory, metal parts stamping factory, deflection coil factory and so on. The first and second phases of the CRT plant built by the company in the deep-sea special zone were mainly based on assembly production capacity, and most of the core components need to be imported from manufacturing bases in North America and Taiwan.

But after a scandal at his Taiwan branch, Li Xuan was determined to speed up the transfer of picture-tube production to the mainland. However, this time, Li Xuan is not going to invest directly by himself, but is going to attract external capital by providing technical support and order guarantee. (To be continued..)
