Volume 12 The Waves Stop the Flying Boat Section 58 A Trip to Hong Kong
Lu Weimin did not expect that the situation of the Lin family would attract so much attention from Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, and there was almost no chance of Lu Weimin explaining it.
Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong's attitude on this issue was unusually firm and consistent, which was to ask Lu Weimin to immediately complete the passport procedures, fly to Hong Kong quickly, meet with members of the Lin family and their partner families, send the most warm and sincere invitations to these Chinese families who had just been shocked by the May riot in Indonesia, and introduce them to the development of Songzhou, and welcome them to invest in Songzhou.
Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong even thought that the intention of the Western Song Expressway and Songyi Expressway proposed by Lu Weimin was a bit unprofitable. After all, whether it is the Western Song Expressway or the Songyi Expressway, Songzhou can only occupy one of the sections. Unless a company targeting these two expressways can choose its registered address in Songzhou. Even so, because the Western Song Expressway and Songyi Expressway both span two cities and cities, they will inevitably divide a part of the tax collection, management and payment to the tax departments of their respective counties, cities, districts and cities, which obviously made Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong feel a little loss.
Why did Songzhou work hard to bring in such an investment, but in the end it was the three companies to share the benefits? Lu Weimin was speechless at this point. There was no sign of the eight characters yet. Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong were already planning this. They didn’t think about it. Whether it was the Western Song Expressway or the Songyi Expressway, it would be better to say whether the province agreed or not. Even if it really agreed, foreign capital could be brought into construction. When it was completed and put into production, it would be at least two or three years later. Tong Yunsong was hard to say, but Shang Quanzhi would definitely not be in Songzhou anymore. Is it necessary to be petty about it?
In the view of Shang Quanzhi and Tong Yunsong, if a considerable portion of the Chinese capital withdrawn from Indonesia can invest in Songzhou, no matter which industry it is in, it will be great good news for Songzhou. Songzhou now hopes to obtain this type of investment.
Lu Weimin implicitly reminded Shang Tong and the others that once the Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway are completed, they will not only bring about the benefits and taxes generated by the operation of the expressway itself, but more importantly, it can establish this great advantage of Songzhou as a water and land transportation hub node in the province. The establishment of this advantage will bring lasting impetus to the sustainable development of Songzhou's economy, and will also make Songzhou's advantages in public basic service facilities more obvious, and will bring an unimaginable promotion effect to the development of the first, second and third industries in Songzhou in the future.
Shang Tong and the others finally accepted Lu Weimin's opinion, but they urged him even more, asking Lu Weimin to lead the team to Hong Kong quickly, especially in Fengzhou, which seemed to have some attempts in this regard, which made Shang Tong and the others even more nervous. No one could tolerate this piece of fat slipping away from their hands. If anyone made a mistake on this issue, he would be the sinner of Songzhou.
Lu Weimin also wanted to give Shang Tong and the others a vaccination. Although the capital of these Chinese in Indonesia has been transferred a considerable amount, this is private capital after all. When examining the investment direction of capital, they are grateful to themselves, and it is impossible to ignore their own interests. Assuming that they can really attract these overseas Chinese capitals on the issue of Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway, they will also bargain with the province and the city on some policy conditions. At this point, they cannot expect them to make generous concessions. Capitalists are capitalists, and the purpose of capital is to make profits, otherwise they will not agree even if they save their lives.
Shang Tong and the other two are very open-minded in this regard. For them, as long as they can attract foreign capital, it will be a great success. As for policy preferential policies, where do they not rely on this trick to attract investment?
For local party committees and governments, the most important thing is to implement projects, drive investment, and generate GDP. As for taxation, all of them must be put behind.
Anyway, as soon as this project is implemented, the initiative is in the hands of local governments. Can you still move? Of course, the government does not want to blackmail anyone, but many subsequent issues can be solved through negotiation. The key is to attract them and implement them.
Lu Weimin took Duan Houbai, Gu Ziming, Director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau Lu Mingshan, General Manager of the Municipal Transportation Bureau Ji Chengxiang, and the Transportation Bureau, a group of eight people flew to Hong Kong and stayed in Hong Kong for a week. He was also warmly welcomed by several Chinese families of the Lin family and their partners, as well as Lin Hexiang who arrived in Hong Kong in advance.
In Hong Kong, Duan Houbai, Gu Ziming, Lu Mingshan, Ji Chengxiang and others truly appreciate Lu Weimin's style. Faced with these Chinese rich people with billions of dollars, Lu Weimin was free and unaffected by these identities. On the contrary, these financial owners in their minds were all extremely enthusiastic about Lu Weimin, and even their followers were treated with quite a standard, which made them feel a little flattered.
In addition to meeting several core members of the Lin family and having very good communication, the Lin family also took the initiative to invite important members of the Li family and Chen family, which had close business contacts with the Lin family, to hold a discussion. Lu Weimin also introduced the economic development of Changjiang Province in recent years to these overseas Chinese businessmen, especially the situation in Songzhou, and introduced the intention of the two expressway projects of Xisong Expressway and Songyi Expressway to these people.
After learning about Lu Weimin's intention to come to Hong Kong this time, the Lin family took the initiative to make a move. Many chaebol families, including Hu family of Hehe Group, Zheng family of New World Investment, who have some investment projects in infrastructure and infrastructure in mainland China, introduced Lu Weimin and his group, and did not bother to introduce how Lu Weimin warned them in advance before the May riots so that they could avoid huge losses of personnel and property.
Although they did not receive a clear reply from these chaebol families, they were also a little reward. At least they let the chaebol families in Hong Kong know that there is also a Songzhou City and a Lu Weimin in Changjiang Province, mainland China.
The Lin family should be said to be somewhat interested in developing in Changjiang. After all, Fengxiang Pharmaceutical and Tianhu Biotechnology are there. These are all introduced by Lu Weimin one by one. The benefits are considerable. However, if you want to choose industrial projects, and the market risks are relatively high, you need to see the right opportunities before you can enter.
For the Lin family, Indonesia has become a sad place. At least until the current political landscape has not changed much, they dare not return to Indonesia to develop easily. On the contrary, everyone can see the thriving atmosphere of mainland China. The only thing they are worried about is that they are not familiar with the mainland's system and policies, and the emergence of Lu Weimin just makes up for this.
The expressway project proposed by Lu Weimin made the Lin family even more interested.
The Chinese families in Southeast Asia have always had close ties with the Chinese chaebols in Hong Kong. Many of the chaebols in Hong Kong migrated from Southeast Asia. The Lin family itself has some assets and properties in Hong Kong. Now that Indonesia's risks have increased dramatically, the assets naturally need to be transferred to the safest place. Although Hong Kong is safe, its market capacity is already in a saturation and maturity stage. If capital wants to find suitable returns here, there are not many opportunities, but now the mainland has the richest opportunities.
It is necessary to ensure both the safety of funds and certain returns. The expressway project proposed by Lu Weimin is undoubtedly the best choice.
From the perspective of yields, highway projects are not high. The investment recovery time is usually more than ten years, but the success is stability. For the Lin family, what they need most now is to ensure safe and stable investment returns. On the contrary, long investment recovery time is not a problem.
However, the investment amount of both the Western Song Expressway and the Songyi Expressway is quite large, with investments of one billion yuan. Even if you can get a syndicated loan, the project start-up capital is not a small amount. If it is converted into US dollars, it is also a 100 million yuan count. Moreover, although the Lin family is very interested, they have not been involved in similar industries in the mainland before. Fortunately, large chaebols such as Hehe Group, New World, Cheung Kong, and Hutchison Whampoa have tried the waters in the mainland in Hong Kong, which can also be used as a reference. Therefore, the Lin family agreed that when they settle here, they would invite several partner families to visit the investment environment of Changjiang and Songzhou together.
During this period in Hong Kong, Lu Weimin has been paying attention to the flood prevention situation in Changjiang.
In late July, the water levels of several major water systems in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River skyrocketed, especially the water levels of Dongting Lake and Lize Lake hit new highs, and the water levels remained high. The flood control situation in Songzhou suddenly became tense. However, Lu Weimin learned from Shen Junhuai that the city’s focus on flood control was still on Bali Lake, Jiugong Lake and Zekou County along Lize Lake. For the urban sandbanks that Lu Weimin was most worried about, the flood control in Songcheng did not pay enough attention to the flood control in Songcheng.
In August, rain continued to fall in the upper reaches of Hubei Province, and heavy rain continued in Xiliang and Yishan, where the Shahe and Songhe upper reaches are located in Songzhou, which greatly increased the influx of the Shahe and Songhe Rivers, and huge flood peaks appeared in the upper reaches of the Shahe and Songhe Rivers, resulting in a dam in the Shahe section in the urban area being washed away by floods, almost causing a dam to break the dam. This also caused Songzhou to turn its attention to the Shahe and Songhe River embankments, but the flood prevention and rescue of the main stream of the Yangtze River in the urban area did not pay enough attention to the flood prevention and rescue of the main stream of the Yangtze River in the urban area.
Lu Weimin was almost in a state of silence in Hong Kong, but he couldn't put a lot of work here, so he almost kept working without stopping. When the affairs here were handled almost the same, he immediately bought a plane ticket and flew to Changzhou.
