On the evening of the end of the economic forum, Su Wanqing took a private plane and led the senior team of Jinqing Company to fly directly to Hong Kong City.
Jinqing Company's trip this time is a completely official commercial activity, so we have notified the Hong Kong City officials before traveling.
Therefore, two directors from the Commercial Planning Department of the Hong Kong Financial Department accompanied the Deputy Chief Executive and came out to receive him in person.
The port city belongs to the Special Administrative Region, and the deputy chief executive here has a status that is half a level higher than the feudal official of a province in the country.
Therefore, this specification can be said to be a super high treatment.
As the current president and chief financial officer of Jinqing Company, Su Wanqing is indeed qualified to receive such a high salary.
At this time, it was a special period when Li Bancheng, Xu Chongshan and Li Yaokang had just finished their press conference in the United States, and the economic forum held by Li Jin in China had just ended.
The business community in Hong Kong City was already shaken by a series of news. There were constant rumors from various sources. At this juncture, Su Wanqing's official visit on behalf of Jinqing Company was interpreted by countless people in many versions.
.
But no matter what kind of gossip it is, the core point has not changed, that is, Jinqing Company's actions must be based on the press conferences of the three companies.
Everyone was looking at the Hong Kong Government Administrative Office Building, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between Su Wanqing and Hong Kong City officials.
The Hong Kong government officials did not keep everyone waiting too long.
Soon, with a press conference held, the Hong Kong government and Jinqing Company jointly announced the results of this negotiation to the outside world.
"First of all, welcome to all journalists. I am Qiao Zhiwei, Director of the Department of Commercial Planning of the Hong Kong Government. Here I would like to explain to you on behalf of the Hong Kong Government."
Qiao Zhiwei, wearing glasses, looked at the crowd of reporters below, smiled slightly, picked up the document in his hand and read out: "After friendly consultations between the Hong Kong government and Jinqing Company, and in accordance with the law and official policies, the Hong Kong government and Jinqing Company are hereby
The cooperation agreement reached by the company is announced as follows.”
"First, the Hong Kong government will provide Jinqing Company with preferential tax policies, as follows: 70% corporate income tax reduction for the first three years, 40% corporate income tax reduction for the next five years, and 20% commercial tax reduction."
"Second, the Hong Kong government will sell to Jinqing Company the c13 plot and the a55 plot located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, the main island of Hong Kong City, and on the west side of Victoria Harbor. Since the two plots are separately owned by the Hong Kong government, the transaction does not
Participate in the land auction and the Hong Kong government will transfer the ownership directly to Jinqing Company, and the funds generated will be used to improve the social infrastructure of the port city."
"Third, the Hong Kong government will focus on investigating the compliance and rationality of all commercial activities on Hong Kong Island from now on, and will take severe crackdowns on violations."
"Fourth, the Hong Kong government will fully liberalize industry restrictions on some import and export products. The first batch of products to be opened include rubber, including rubber semi-finished products and finished processing raw materials. All restrictions and access thresholds will be completely lifted on the import and export of the above products."
At first glance, the contents of the four contract clauses appear to be normal except for the second and third clauses.
The meaning of the second article is very clear. This is the Hong Kong government selling land owned by the Hong Kong government to Jinqing Company. Although this is very unreasonable, there is nothing worth saying.
The reason why there is an auction requirement for general official land sales is because the land does not actually belong to the official government. According to the constitution, it is state-owned land. Legally speaking, this kind of land is actually owned by the whole people and belongs to everyone.
of the common people across the country.
The government is just an escrow agent, managing these lands on behalf of the people across the country. Since it is public land, it cannot be sold casually, so it needs to be auctioned publicly. The highest bidder wins, and no one has anything to say.
And if the land is owned by the government itself, then the government is actually a special counterparty to the contract. It is no different from an individual company and can be sold privately.
The two pieces of land mentioned above are considered to be the most golden and coveted prime pieces of land in the port city where there is almost no land left for sale. I don’t know how many people want to get these two pieces of land through various connections, but they have always been unable to do so.
Can't get it.
But now, the Hong Kong government generously sold it to Jinqing Company without even disclosing the price. This shows that the Hong Kong government indeed sincerely welcomes Jinqing Company to invest in Hong Kong City.
As for the third item, it is even stranger.
This is entirely part of the Hong Kong government’s administrative management of the market, but why is it included in the contract?
Soon, people in Hong Kong City knew why.
After the press conference, the Hong Kong government immediately launched an inspection storm.
All operators in the real estate industry and rubber industry have been severely investigated.
Among them, the first one to bear the brunt is the various industrial transactions between Huanghe Industrial and Xu Group Hope Group that occurred not long ago.
After a rigorous investigation by the Hong Kong government, it was discovered that there were a large number of illegal and property sales that were seriously below market value in these transactions, so fines came one after another.
After doing this, combined with the last clause of the contract, the attitude of the Hong Kong government is clearly visible on the paper.
That is to target Huanghe Industrial Hope Group and Xu Group.
It was an open and honest attack without any cover-up at all.
Real estate is the lifeblood of most of Hong Kong's top wealthy businessmen, so the Hong Kong government's inspections did not affect the market, but only targeted the Hope Group and Huanghe Industrial. Needless to say, the rubber industry is the exclusive domain of the Xu Group, and the Hong Kong government is conducting strict inspections.
The Xu Group's illegal operations also opened up access restrictions for the rubber industry.
This made countless people smell the unusual atmosphere of conspiracy behind the Hong Kong government's tough attitude.
At this moment, Su Wanqing appeared at the house of Ship King Bao.
In the Bao family's villa on the top of the mountain, Su Wanqing received warm hospitality from the Bao family.
Everyone knows who is standing behind this woman, and that person is the person they, the Hong Kong businessmen, have chosen to bet on, so as soon as Su Wanqing arrives, the Bao family naturally gives them enough face, and almost all of them can come.
coming.
Including Su Wanqing's biggest goal of this trip, the second son-in-law of the chartering king, Wu Zheng.
"The Bao family is very special among the wealthy families in the port city. They are the boss in the shipping industry. However, with the economic development in recent years, the shipping industry has been sluggish, coupled with the hot real estate market, the Bao family's influence has been greatly reduced.
The power is reduced a lot.”
"But we must not underestimate this family, which is low-key and seems to hide its head at many critical moments. Their wisdom is definitely higher than that of ordinary wealthy families."
"And the truly outstanding descendants of this family are not the direct descendants of the chartering king, but several sons-in-law, each one better than the last."
"Wan Qing, this time you must reach cooperation with their second son-in-law and the head of the Kowloon Group, Wu Zheng. With his cooperation, our plan will go much smoother."
Thinking about Li Jin's instructions to her before coming, Su Wanqing smiled and said to the head of the Bao family in front of her and the second son-in-law Wu Zheng next to her:
"Mr. Bao, Mr. Wu, actually I came here this time hoping to use the land in Tsim Sha Tsui purchased from the Hong Kong government to combine with several large shopping malls nearby under the Kowloon Group to jointly build the largest and most luxurious comprehensive shopping mall in Asia.
I have already thought of a name for the district, it’s called Harbor City!”
