Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 268 First meeting with senior officials in Kyoto

When the time arrived at 5:30 pm, Bao Zixuan and his party drove towards the city hall. Tonight they were going to attend a dinner organized by the city government. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a simple dinner. When they reach their social status and level, they no longer care about what they eat, but they care more about who they eat with and where they eat.

Tonight, the Shenhai City Government's preparations were only average, but several tycoon-level figures didn't care. On the Chinese side of the dinner were Deputy Zhao, Mayor Zhou, Deputy Mayor Zhang and a government secretary-general. As for Secretary Li, he is conducting inspections abroad and is not in Shenhai City.

After seeing Huo Yingdong and others getting off the bus, Mayor Zhou walked over and said, "Welcome to the deep sea. How do you feel about the changes in the deep sea this time?"

Huo Yingdong: "I can't even imagine it. It's just that the changes in the deep sea have been changing rapidly in more than half a year. At this rate of development, it is estimated that it will catch up with Xiangjiang in a few years. Although this is just a polite comment, no one expected that dozens of I really caught up after the year.”

Mayor Zhou: "Please come over here, Deputy Zhao is waiting for you inside!"

When it was Bao Zixuan's turn, Deputy Zhao said: "Hello! Bao Zixuan."

Listening to the address, Bao Zixuan knew that the other party was probably just trying to adjust the atmosphere out of fear of embarrassment. He smiled and replied: "Mr. Zhao, please don't say that. How can I bear this? Just call me Xiaobao."

After a few people took their seats, Mayor Zhou first welcomed their arrival on behalf of Shenhai City. At the same time, we also hope that the four people will increase their investment in deep sea, which can also promote the development of deep sea. After all, these people are usually not invited. How could they let go of such a good opportunity now?

The purpose of everyone coming here is not simply to eat. Seeing that the heat is almost done, Bao Zixuan said: "I also want to increase investment in the mainland, but the top priority now is to solve the steel supply problem. The construction of the Heiyun Resort Hotel project has been delayed due to steel supply problems. Slow. So we want to build a modern steel plant in mainland China. I don’t know what Vice President Zhao and Mayor Zhou think!”

Several people in the government were very happy to hear that a modern steel plant was to be built, but Vice President Zhao knew that things would never be that simple. After all, these investments are definitely not small amounts.

Vice President Zhao: "Sheng, what kind of steel plant do you want to build? After all, the country is currently negotiating with Japan's Nippon Steel and is preparing to build a steel company in the Shanghai area. I am afraid that it will conflict with domestic projects, so this will It’s not easy to solve.”

Bao Zixuan: "We are planning to invest 5 billion US dollars to build a steel company. If there is domestic demand for our products, we can supply them domestically. If there is no domestic demand, then there will be no problem with all our exports. And we can use Huaxia currency to settle payments domestically, and the foreign exchange for exports is also Basically, they will stay in China and buy light industrial products.”

Vice Zhao and Mayor Zhou were very tempted when they heard such good conditions. After all, this investment is too big, and even they don't have the power to approve it.

Mayor Zhou: "What other conditions are there for Xiao Baosheng? Is there a suitable location?"

Bao Zixuan: "The four of us hope to be sole proprietors. I don't like to partner with other companies when doing business. This will be very troublesome to manage, and we are not short of funds. The location can be placed in the deep sea salt field area, where can we rely on it?" The sea is very convenient for transporting ores and finished products.”

Vice President Zhao: "It's a good thing that you want to invest, and we will definitely support it. However, this project still needs to be approved by the superiors. I think it is not a big problem. The superiors should approve it as soon as possible."

Bao Zixuan: "Thank you all, but I like efficiency. If you can give me an answer tomorrow, I will arrange to purchase equipment. After all, time is money, and none of us have much time to waste."

Although he was a little unhappy after hearing what Bao Zixuan said. However, when thinking about the age of the rebels, no one paid much attention to it. After all, Xiangjiang businessmen are needed to support national construction at all times. Bao Zixuan is the main representative of Xiangjiang businessmen. If the other party does not invest, it will be a big loss for the country.

Deputy Zhao: "Sister Bao, please rest assured. We will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, and I will report to the superiors tonight."

Bao Zixuan really didn't know what to say when he heard this. After all, there were only a few big bosses who could let Deputy Zhao report to him. It seemed that the other party really took his words seriously, which was very rare.

Several people chatted about other life topics. During this period, Bao Zixuan also chatted with Deputy Zhao about some professional issues in science and engineering. This made several others feel that they should learn more knowledge in the future, otherwise it would sometimes be difficult to even chat.

Vice Zhao was also a very efficient person. After Bao Zixuan and his party left, they called the senior officials in Kyoto. A detailed introduction to Bao Zixuan, Dong Haoyun, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's idea of ​​building a large-scale modern steel company in Shenhai City. For example, the investment scale exceeds 5 billion US dollars, which can be said to be more than the entire foreign exchange reserves of China. How can it not be exciting?

Bao Zixuan didn't know that his steel plant project caused Kyoto's senior officials to hold meetings all night long to discuss it. After all, this project is too big and no one wants to lose it, but it cannot affect the country's established overall strategic layout.

Some leaders suggested that the 51/49 plan should be implemented. After all, the steel industry is a country's strategic industry. It must be in the hands of the state, but I still don’t trust it in the hands of private bosses. At this time, everyone's minds are not completely open, so it is normal to have such worries.

However, this plan was quickly rejected, and now efforts are being made to ensure the steel project in Shanghai. If a large-scale steel enterprise is built in the deep sea at this time, there is no way to guarantee funds. However, the shortage of iron and steel in the south is already obvious. If it is not resolved, it will definitely slow down the reform and opening up.

Another point is that Huo Yingdong, Bao Zixuan, Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun have not approved the joint investment in mainland China. Once this news comes out, it will be an almost devastating blow to the investment promotion work. Who else will invest in mainland China? After all, the Chinese world has not yet considered them to be more connected and powerful than these four.

In the end, the top management had to say something before it was finally decided. Having enterprises in mainland China can increase our comprehensive national strength. After all, a large steel enterprise is a guarantee for construction in peacetime and a raw material for military products in wartime. Both the economic value and the strategic value are immeasurable. Since the patriotic businessmen in Xiangjiang want to invest, there is no reason not to support it.

If we don’t agree to land such a large-scale project in mainland China. Then we have to close our doors and stand up. It is estimated that Southeast Asian countries may set off firecrackers to celebrate, which will push investors away.

Huo Yingdong is our old friend, and Bao Zixuan is very influential internationally. Bao Yugang and Dong Haoyun are both world-class shipping kings. If we don’t agree with their investment, then who else would dare to invest in mainland China.

This is a sensitive issue. These people are willing to come to the mainland to invest in large-scale projects despite being suppressed by the British in Hong Kong. If we are shutting people out, who dares to believe us? To show our sincerity, we can also reduce the land price appropriately, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of Hong Kong's rich people.

It can be said that the emergence of Bao Zixuan has accelerated the pace of reform, and many policies that emerged three years later have now been advanced. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but Bao Zixuan knew that before the Soviet Union collapsed, he had to work hard to improve his own strength and the country's national strength. The next major opponent of the United States is definitely China, and the only company the United States wants to suppress is Heiyun.
