I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 370 Entanglement, Conflict

In half a day, Huo, Bao, Zhang, and Li, the four major groups had already dispatched their public relations departments with all their strength to lobby the Secretary of State Affairs. The three major groups carried out bid rigging operations, and the Li family could not support it alone.

During this period, Li Jiacheng also made a special trip to the mainland and stayed for a week, not knowing what he was doing. Hu Yingxiang received news from the mainland a week later and went to a meeting. After the meeting, the person in charge of the Highway Bureau and Hu Yingxiang had a drink Tea, the director was wearing a gray uniform, drinking Tieguanyin in an enamel cup, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, Guangdong Province has approved the construction plan of Guangfo. According to the previous agreement, Guangdong Construction Group will invest [-]% , Hehe Group invests [-]%, and in the future, Hehe Group can obtain half of the toll revenue of Guangfo Expressway."

Hu Yingxiang was overjoyed, and said, "Thank you Director Wang, Hehe Group will fulfill the agreement and return all the Guangfo Expressway to the government after recovering the investment cost."

The Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway is the first expressway in Guangdong Province. It starts from Hengsha Village in the Cantonese suburb and arrives at Xiebian Village in the eastern suburb of Foshan. The total length is 15.7 kilometers. It has the significance of opening up the economic artery of Guangfo. Shortening the time to 20 minutes will not only speed up the economic communication between the two cities, but also save drivers dozens of dollars in tolls.

This expressway created a precedent for "compensated financing" and started the prelude to the high-speed network in Guangdong Province. For today's era, it takes courage to build expressways with paid financing. Previously, the Guangdong provincial government was hesitant and did not dare to break through itself. The construction of the Buddha Expressway will stimulate the economic potential of Guangdong Province faster than in history, and the influence of patriotic entrepreneurs will eventually make history better.

Historically, the Guangfo Expressway was approved in 1985, built in 1986, and opened to traffic in 1989. Now, the time has been accelerated by one year. How precious is one year?

Hu Yingxiang returned to Xiangjiang, invited Zhang Guobin to the company for a chat, served hot tea, sat on the sofa seat in the reception area, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Zhang, the mainland has approved the construction plan of Guangfo Expressway, and the funds are in place After that, construction can officially start in January next year.”

"So fast?" Zhang Guobin frowned, feeling something was wrong. Guangdong Province was his old territory, and he knew the development route in history.

Under normal circumstances, it will take another year for the Guangfo Expressway to be approved. One year in advance, there must be an external push. And now he is at the critical moment of bidding for the pier. High speed will definitely be exhausting, not enough for a silver bullet to fight a business war.

However, he has previously promised to invest in Guangfo Expressway with Hu Yingxiang, and reached an agreement of "donation upon return of capital", aiming to enhance the credibility of the two groups in Guangdong Province and lay the foundation for more projects in Guangdong Province in the future. Failure to catch up with the bus will not only weaken He Yihai's influence in Guangdong Province, but also create a gap between Hu Yingxiang and Hu Yingxiang. It is a taboo in business to renege on one's promise, and Zhang Guobin has always been a person who pays attention to goodwill.

Hu Yingxiang sipped his tea and said, "Being faster is a good thing. Firstly, it can speed up economic development, and secondly, it can save costs for drivers. When the high-speed network is rolled out, it will be of great benefit to Yihai Logistics."

In the 80s, there were tolls on national highways in China, and even more tolls were charged when expressways were built.

At that time, there was a pole at the entrance of every national highway, some poles belonged to the state, and some poles belonged to individuals. In short, collecting "road tolls" was a considerable amount of financial revenue. But it is definitely a great thing that benefits the country and the people.

"Mr. Hu is justified. Yihai Group will jointly fund the construction of the Guangfo Expressway according to the previous commitment. The person in charge of Guobin Construction will come to negotiate with him and fully cooperate with Mr. Hu's development plan." Zhang Guobin couldn't find it. Any reason for refusal, after a little thought, he opened his mouth and agreed. Although he is poor, no matter how poor he is, he cannot poor his family. Find a way to make up for it.

He Yihai has a lot of ways to find a way to make up tens of millions of funds. Hu Yingxiang was relieved when he heard Zhang Guobin's promise: "Mr. Zhang has a long-term vision and strong financial resources. Yihai Group must have a place in the mainland's infrastructure industry, and Hehe Group will rely more on Yihai Group in the future."

In recent years, Xiangjiang real estate has been in a downturn, and big water pipes will inevitably suffer losses, especially Hehe Group, which started from the construction industry. Otherwise, Hehe alone can handle the entire Guangfo Expressway. Why would Yihai Group need joint investment?
If Zhang Guobin rejects Hu Yingxiang's investment request this time, it will affect the business friendship between the two at the slightest, and at the worst it will affect the golden signboard of the red entrepreneur, and it must not be sloppy.

The two drank tea and chatted, signed an agreement, and their friendship was further improved.

Back in the car, Zhang Guobin was wearing a suit, raised his legs, swept the dust on his knees, and said in a displeased tone: "Damn it, Lao Li forced me to go to Liangshan to play with me!"

He had already received the information that Li Jiacheng was moving into the mainland. At first, he wondered why the four major groups were fighting for the pier.

Co-authored, what the fuck is messing up!
Hutchison Building.

Li Jiacheng, holding a cigar with his fingertips, sat on an office chair, looked at the report in front of him and smiled slightly: "Zhang Guobin really agreed to the agreement to invest in the Guangfo Expressway, hehe, he is just as greedy as before, and wants to bite into everything. Take a bite."

Li Jiacheng felt that Zhang Guobin's motivation for signing the agreement was very simple. He hoped to rely on the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway to rely on infrastructure construction in the Mainland to obtain water. The restraint of "ethics" is simply to make great efforts to open up a source of income for Zhang Guobin, hoping to divide Zhang Guobin's silver paper. Even if Zhang Guobin does not take the bait, there will be a gap with Hu Yingxiang. After taking the bait, the operation is much simpler.

Li Chaxin said aloud from the side: "Since Yihai Group has agreed to invest in the construction of the Guangfo Expressway, it must keep up with Hehe's infrastructure investment in the mainland in the next one or two years, which will greatly reduce the cash flow of Yihai Group , Yihai Group already lacks the funding base to compete for No. [-] Pier.”

Only investing in the construction of high-speed highways without keeping up with the follow-up infrastructure projects is tantamount to lending without charging interest, which is impossible from a businessman's point of view.

Li Jiacheng took a puff of his cigar, and said slowly: "Zhang Guobin was born in a Jianghu society. Even if he has a little ability, he still can't escape the word 'greedy'."

"He is greedy! Very greedy! Insatiably greedy!" In his eyes, Zhang Guobin is such a person. He helped Zhang Guobin open up the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, trying to make Zhang Guobin pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. Compared with the unstable economic policy and social environment in the Mainland, the Xiangjiang port industry is a real golden mountain!
In the 80s, not everyone trusted the mainland, and many people held a wait-and-see and skeptical attitude.Zhang Guobin's investment policy in the Mainland is not pure in the eyes of many people.

"Last time the Chief Secretary for Administration proposed to raise the minimum wage in Hong Kong by [-] yuan. Huang He tried his best to facilitate the matter for the Chief Secretary for Administration. With the chief as the bottom line, Kwai Tsing Pier No. [-] could not jump out of He Huang's palm." Li Jiacheng After giving the order, he said confidently: "The combination of Huo, Bao, and Zhang is indeed strong, but the strength of three people is far less than that of one person. It is impossible for Huo Bao to contribute to the construction of the wharf for Zhang."

"All the money that should be paid must be paid by Zhang. If Zhang can't pay, he can't deal with the ghosts above. Who will support him to build Pier No. [-]?"

"I understand, Mr. Li." Li Chaxin was tall, thin, blond, and nodded slightly.

Recently, the most intense government plan in Hong Kong is the "wage increase plan" that raises the minimum wage in Hong Kong by [-] yuan.

As long as the minimum wage is successfully raised, the income of all Hong Kong residents will increase.Enterprises will pay greater employment costs, which add up to a considerable amount, and many corporate capitals secretly oppose it. Therefore, the chief executive who proposed the salary increase plan of the Secretary of State Affairs encountered great resistance, but once the salary increase plan is implemented, the executive will It will be supported by huge public opinion, and it will be absolutely smooth and unstoppable.

Li Jiacheng's strategy of supporting the salary increase plan of the Secretary of Government Affairs is basically a killer move on the surface. Huo, Bao, and Zhang have all received information.

Once the capitalists fight, the people will gain short-term benefits. To a certain extent, the active capital has certain benefits for the people. This is the result of the attributes of capital, not personal likes and dislikes.

"Mr. Zhang, you have to prepare political means in advance to deal with Hutchison Whampoa's salary increase plan." Sitting in the office, Ma Shiming said with a nervous tone: "The best way at present is to subsidize political opponents and block Hutchison Whampoa's salary increase plan. Let its official influence ebb, or find a way to contact more influential figures."

It is not that there are no one in Xiangjiang who is more influential than the boss of the Chief Secretary, and that boss is not the director, but every big boss has to pay a huge price to connect, not only the silver paper, but also the It is the support for it. It is necessary to cast a certificate immediately, and it is necessary to stay low and be small, and the other party may not accept it.

Zhang Guobin smoked a cigar and said with a confident smile: "I don't like these two choices. I will choose the third one. Let the public opinion tell the government who will be the king of Pier No. [-]."

"You have to know that Yihai is a society that came out of the rivers and lakes. The New Territories Kwai Tsing Wharf is first in the New Territories, and the second is the wharf! Even if it is land reclamation, it is the land of the New Territories people, and it must be managed by the New Territories people!"

The capital struggle around Pier No. [-] has finally subsided from silver paper tactics to human wrestling. If you can't knock down your opponent with silver paper, you can only knock him down with strength!
This is the fate that all conflicts of interest cannot escape...

New Territories.
