Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 399 397 [Central Bus Terminus]

It was already a bit chilly in Guangdong province in early November, but even slightly strenuous exercise still made me sweat a lot and my body felt sticky and uncomfortable.

As it is very close to the Shekou Industrial Zone, it only takes two hours to drive from Hong Kong to reach the destination. President Hu of the New H Company and Director Shen Lianyong of the China Merchants Group have been waiting with their staff for a long time.

Li Wendi's group consists of only 13 people, which is why it is not advisable to have too many people. Moreover, the candidates have been screened repeatedly and are not chosen randomly.

"Hello, bosses!" Shen Lianyong, director of the China Merchants Group, took the lead in stepping forward to introduce the guests, seeming to be quite familiar with them.

At that time, the industrial zone was still a wasteland, with only barren land, birds foraging everywhere, and a few scattered electric poles.

Shen Lianyong enthusiastically introduced his future plans, but unfortunately most of the people present were real estate developers who were only interested in the construction of industrial buildings and factories and could not help with anything else.

You can't just acquire an industrial company just to help.

Therefore, Shen Lianyong focused his main attention on Li Wendi. According to the information, Li Wendi not only owns electronics factories and food processing plants, but also cement manufacturing plants, power plants and other industrial companies. Once these companies are settled in Shekou, it will also be a living signboard for Shenhai City.

"Among us, only Mr. Li from Changxin Group and Mr. Li from Hutchison Whampoa meet the requirements for building a factory here. The rest can only help construct the industrial building." The charter king said jokingly with a laugh, trying to ease the depressing atmosphere.

"Yes, Wendy and Mr. Li are here to help. There is cheap labor and land here, which is very suitable for you to open a factory." Cheng Yutong echoed.

"I have no problem with that. I'm just worried that the business will be affected by some unstable factors and public security." Li Wendi boldly stated the problem.

Shen Lianyong quickly explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, our Shekou Industrial Zone has been approved by the central government. No one will dare to come here to cause trouble, and the policy will not change. We will definitely guarantee your business rights. If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time and I will help you solve them."

"Since Director Shen has said so, I will take charge of three locations in the Shekou Industrial Zone, and the electronics factories, food factories, and garment factories under it will all move in. If Director Shen can get a suitable piece of land for my cement manufacturing plant, the cement factory can also move in and provide cheap cement for your industrial buildings, hotels and other buildings." Li Wendi responded.

"Mr. Li, the price won't be the same as the cement in Hong Kong, right?" someone began to joke.

"The price depends on the market price of raw materials and cement in Guangdong Province." Li Wendi said with a faint smile, "You can't stop me from making the same amount of money, right?"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

Although it is said to be a visit to the Shekou Industrial Zone, there are actually other visiting projects. Shenhai City will not miss this excellent opportunity.

If they could get the funds from this group of Hong Kong businessmen and then go back to promote the city, the development of Shenhai City would become much easier, so they attached great importance to this visit.

Although the scale of the dinner was not as good as some of the top restaurants in Hong Kong, it was also very attentive. A professional Cantonese chef was invited from Guangzhou, and the dishes were rich but not luxurious.

Next to Li Wendi sat a deputy director of the Ministry of Industry, who was chatting with Li Wendi the whole time. Since the dinner was only for small talk, many cooperations remained verbal, and the specific details still needed to be discussed by the senior management of the subsidiary companies. Of course, if Li Wendi and other bosses were convinced, the senior management would not make trouble. It was probably a process, and at most there would be some disputes over interests.

After dinner, after arranging everyone, Shen Lianyong ran over to Li Wendi, Zheng Yutong, Baochuan Wang, and Huo Daheng who were chatting and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Bao, and Mr. Huo, the conditions of the guesthouse are limited, please bear with me!"

The charter king was always generous and said with a smile, "It's okay. I've suffered a lot in the past. This is nothing. Mr. Li is still young. I wonder if he can accept it?"

Li Wendi responded, "It doesn't matter. I've lived in coffin houses in Hong Kong. This place is much better."

Later, Li Wendi, Baochuan Wang, and Zheng Yutong gathered in the room. Li Wendi spoke first, "It is only a matter of time before the mainland develops. I plan that if this side agrees, the Capital Real Estate Company under Changxin Group will come over to build a 5-star hotel."

"Wendy, the current situation is not very clear. Hotels are a very capital-intensive industry. Can't you give it some thought?" Zheng Yutong reminded.

Unlike industries such as hotels and food factories, the payback period for hotels is very long, and it is not yet possible to confirm whether the situation is as advertised.

Zheng Yutong has always been bold and steady in doing things. He is bold when he is sure of something and steady when he is unsure of something.

Pao Yue-kong had a different view. He had been to Yenching in 80 and invested in a hotel. He had a better understanding of the situation. "The situation of the G-Revolution is very clear and can be described as unstoppable. I think it is feasible for Mr. Li to build a hotel in Shekou, and we should seize the opportunity. Now is the cheap time. However, negotiations are difficult. Some officials still have old-fashioned thinking and want the government to take the lead and hold 50% of the shares."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "If they hold the controlling stake, I would not build it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the board of directors."

The two people next to him knew that the board of directors was just an excuse, but Li Wendi’s refusal was understandable. They were all worried that a good investment would turn into mud.

The next morning, Shen Lianyong found Li Wendi and talked about building a factory in the industrial zone. Li Wendi then asked about the hotel. However, this was not something Shen Lianyong could decide on, but Shen Lianyong said he could try to help ask.

It was not until the fourth day, when the journey was about to end, that Shen Lianyong brought a few people to find Li Wendi to discuss the construction of a hotel. Guang Province and Shenhai City invested in the company with land, accounting for 40% of the shares.

Of course Li Wendi agreed. Although it seemed a bit disadvantageous, it was already a good policy. If it happened in the future, it would probably cost a much higher price.

Now they have established some good relationships with each other, which will make it easier for Li Wendi to do things in the future.

Return to Xiangjiang.

Zhang Wentao came over to report immediately, "Boss, the Hong Kong government has launched a land parcel for the minibus and minibus terminal in Central. The land area is as large as 14.4 square feet, which can be used to build three Grade A commercial buildings with a floor area of ​​up to 3 million square feet. The value of this land is estimated to be over 200 billion yuan, but the current land market is not as prosperous as it was in the 75s, so the price can be slightly lowered."
