Chapter 784 People from Hong Kong City come to inspect!
At ten o'clock in the morning on May 1st, more than a dozen cars arrived at Nanluoguxiang. The people in the cars should be of high status.
They were all riding in the state-owned Red Flag sedans. More than twenty people got out of the cars, and six of them entered the courtyard where Cao Dongfang was.
There were four people in the back holding some small gifts, just some southern delicacies and tea, no valuable gifts.
"You can come if you want, but don't bring any gifts next time. We don't lack these items at home." Cao Dongfang said to four of them.
Liu Chaowei heard this and said, "This is our first visit to Mr. Cao's home. It's impolite to come empty-handed. We won't buy anything from you next time."
"Did you come to the city six months in advance to investigate what can be invested in the mainland?
Will Mr. Lou return to Hong Kong after he comes back? "These people are from Hong Kong. They have come to the mainland before, but this time they are here to invest.
Liu Zhaowei replied, "Mr. Cao, we are here to check out the investment environment. Lao Bao and his team are more interested in the south. There are six of us in total coming to the north for inspection."
"I came back to investigate and transfer the core of my industry here. This is my home for fifty years." Lou Bancheng still wants to return to his roots.
"Mr. Lou, if you want to come back, then come back. The country is very stable now. You have children in Hong Kong City, so you can ask for their opinions.
There is no need to give up the Hong Kong City foundation. Don't you still have grandchildren? They can accompany you.
What kind of business do you want to start here? How much money can you invest? Do you have any promising businesses? "Cao Dongfang asked several people.
"We hope it is a stable industry, not a short-lived one. We can invest 200 billion Hong Kong dollars and 1,000 tons of gold in three years.
There are four projects that I am optimistic about, but I have not yet examined them in detail. One is the electronics industry that Liang Sheng wants to work in, and the other is a large real estate industry.
I work on highways and large department stores. One reason is that I am used to it, and the other is that I think it is stable. The money I earn every year is about the same as renting out the floor.”
"Minister Liang, are there no problems with the other three types except the expressway?
I haven’t paid much attention to the construction of the expressway network in recent years.” Cao Dongfang asked the Minister of Commerce who accompanied him.
“There is no problem with the first three. The real estate industry will be officially opened on November 1st, and land can also be bought and sold.
At least it should be possible for expressways, but the years and charges need to be discussed.
We cannot let the merchants in Hong Kong suffer losses, nor can we let the country and the people be dissatisfied. We can all negotiate together to build the country."
Cao Dongfang understood what Minister Liang meant. People didn't quite understand highway tolls because there wasn't a single highway in the country.
“Regarding the issue of highway tolls, I think I have submitted to us the toll collection methods of Western countries. We can also experiment on our own. It is not difficult to solve the problem.
You can decide on your own about real estate and large department stores. In the electronics industry, you can set up a factory to produce computer and mobile phone parts, one in the north and one in the south.
"Aren't the spare parts here saturated? How much output does the new factory need?"
"From 10 million to 100 million, we will reach that level in the next eight years. Electronics will begin to explode."
"Minister Cao, last year the national mobile phone production was only 10 million. Next year it will reach 20 million." Minister Liang was shocked.
“It may not reach 20 million units next year, but it will definitely be reached the year after, mainly because the cost of mobile phones has begun to drop significantly.
The time has come when you can buy a mobile phone for 1,500 yuan. Too many people can afford it, and the same goes for computers.
The electronics industry is a very important industry. Your investment will also accelerate the development of the electronics industry.
The country is short of spare parts for several types of electronic products, and production cannot be increased. This industry has a lot of money to make.”
Liu Zhaowei asked quietly, "We will do all of these if they are suitable. Mr. Cao, may I ask if the war has any impact on the country?"
Cao Dongfang smiled slightly, "It's fine in China and Hong Kong, but it's best not to go abroad as there are beginning to be unsafe factors."
"We live in the country." Liu Zhaowei understood immediately.
.......
After seeing these people off, everyone in the courtyard was discussing these newcomers in the front yard. Seeing Cao Dongfang coming back, Xu Damao asked curiously.
“Dongfang, who are these people? It seems like there are senior officials among them. They should go to the Ministry to look for you. Why are they coming to the courtyard?
"People from Gangcheng came to thank me. They arrived in Sijiucheng yesterday afternoon and came to my place to rest today. They have other things to do in the afternoon." Cao Dongfang explained briefly.
"Lou Bancheng seems to be among them. I met him in the 1950s." Yi Zhonghai knew Lou Bancheng.
"I sent him to Hong Kong 20 years ago. Now that I am old, I want to return to my hometown."
Qin Huairu, "Among those people is Lou Bancheng. I've heard of him but never seen him. People in the factory said he ran away abroad. It turns out you were the one who sent him away."
Isn't Dongfang open until October 1? Why are they here on May 1st? Are they here to investigate the market? "
"They are all doing big business, investing tens of billions of dollars at a time, why don't they come to investigate how to invest."
"These big bosses in Hong Kong are so rich, investing hundreds of billions at a time. The money we have is not enough." Xu Damao felt that he could not compete.
"Dongfang, does Lou Bancheng have tens of billions of assets?" Yi Zhonghai was quite interested in Lou Bancheng.
"have."
"If I don't talk about them, I have a little bit of inferiority complex. Our car dealership is on the right track and there is nothing serious now.
Do you think we can do something else based on this? "Xu Damao began to like being a boss.
"You can buy a few trucks to sell seafood along the coast, do long-distance cargo transportation, and also have a moving company in the city and a car rental business.
You guys can think about it yourself in the car dealership, there are many car-related businesses.
“I’ll go back and tell them.”
.......
Yan Jiecheng asked, "Dongfang, is the seafood industry good? It seems like your army has always been doing it."
"The seafood we buy from them after the ships come ashore and sell in Sijiu City is at least double the price, and Sijiu City can consume a lot of seafood in one day.
You use two trucks to transport 20 tons of seafood a day, which is 400,000 kilograms. You can earn at least 400,000 yuan by selling it. You can calculate how much the two trucks earn in a year.
If you have a fixed supplier or there are rare seafood, you can earn more, and the profit is also very large.
The income from moving in the city is small, so you don’t have to do it, but the income from other things is very good. "
"If you calculate it this way, the profits from reselling seafood are really huge. The military is also doing it. Aren't you afraid that we will block their way to wealth?" Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.
"In business competition, everyone has their own means. You can cooperate with farmers to buy food, vegetables and meat, and directly exchange seafood with the army.
They mainly exchange local agricultural and sideline products to improve their diet, not to sell them for money.”
"I've heard that delivering goods over long distances is very profitable, but it requires two drivers to take turns driving, and their work is quite hard." Xu Damao also knew about this.
"You are only responsible for buying the car, but you don't have to drive it. Someone will volunteer to earn this hard-earned money."
"It seems to be true. There is no need to force them to drive long-distance trucks. If they are willing to earn the money, it will be a win-win situation for everyone." Xu Damao thought it was worth a try.
"Yesterday at noon, another family fight over inheritance in our front yard was going to the death, with brothers and sisters fighting each other.
Everyone was just watching the fun and no one cared. The inheritance was not much, just three thousand yuan and two houses.
They didn't even bother to sit down and talk. If they can't reach an agreement, they'll go to court. This time, the family is like mortal enemies."
"Qin Jingru, you don't care because you have money. Many families out there are fighting for inheritance because they don't have money. Everyone is short of a house." Liu Guangqi disagreed with Qin Jingru's statement.
Qin Jingru, "It's their own business if they don't have money. It's their own problem if they have the courage to fight with their own brothers and sisters and don't have the courage to go out and earn money.
What's the point of fighting? If you don't agree, go to court. You can't inherit the family property just because you have a big fist. You should study law well."
"I am speechless."
