The Industrial Giant Reborn

"Shekou Industrial Zone?" After Chen Zhiwen heard this familiar name, he immediately knew why President Liang was looking for him.

Yesterday, after receiving a notice from the secretary's office, Chen Zhiwen guessed that President Liang's appointment with him this time must be related to the domestic reform.

"Yes, Chen Sheng, you also know that the central government is implementing the policy of reform and opening up this time. It's just that in such a large country with a population close to one billion, things have to be done step by step. Therefore, the Shekou Industrial Zone can be regarded as a domestic implementation of the new economy. It is a pilot project of the policy." Mr. Liang explained.

"I understand this, but I don't know what President Liang needs me to do?" Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, of course he knew what the other party wanted, but it's better not to talk about this kind of thing by himself, not for the sake of taking advantage of the follow-up negotiations, but because he can't Being too active, too active, may arouse the suspicion of the other party, even if President Liang is not good, other people may also, and this will also affect various possible cooperation in the future.

"Chen Sheng, this is the situation. Now that the Shekou Industrial Zone has just been established, there are no companies that have settled in it yet. I know that Chen Sheng has a lot of different factories. Should you consider building a new factory there? We will provide the best policy .” President Liang said.

"Oh, what policy?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"The land must be very cheap, and the area is very large. If there is a policy, there will be certain tax exemptions." President Liang thought for a while and said, although these have not been implemented in detail, but he still knows a little bit.

"Okay, then when do we have time to go and have a look?" Chen Zhiwen said, even if he wants to invest, he can't make a decision without going to see it on site, and he just knows that the Shekou Industrial Zone is the number one in China. It's an open industrial area, but he doesn't know what the situation is, so he has to go to the site to see it anyway.

"Chen Sheng wants to go in person?" President Liang was surprised and asked. He knew Chen Zhiwen's worth. In fact, there was nothing to see in the Shekou Industrial Zone. Why don't you let him send someone there, so that your side It is also easier to deal with, otherwise, the boss will just go and look down on it, and there will be no chance at all.

"Of course, this is a direct investment in the mainland. Even if the investment is small, I have to go and have a look." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I can do it at any time, just let me know a few days in advance." President Liang said.

"I have nothing to do recently, how are you doing these days?" Chen Zhiwen said casually.

"These few days?" President Liang was stunned for a moment. He never imagined that with so many big companies under Chen Zhiwen, they would be able to find time so quickly.

"Yes." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, investing in the first company in the mainland is not important, the main thing is that it can be remembered in history, and it also has great economic benefits. In the future, Midea Group can promote it in the mainland. With this reputation, it is also easy to attract the favor of mainland customers.

"Well, let me communicate with the staff in Shekou Industrial Zone. If I have time, I will inform Chen Sheng soon. How about it?" President Liang thought for a while and said that he must tell the people in Shekou in advance. Give them a certain amount of time to prepare, at least we must discuss it.

This is the first investment involving a Hong Kong business giant in the mainland, and it may also be the first time overseas investment has been accepted after the domestic re-opening. Even if the conditions are poor, you must make as much preparation as you can. If something goes wrong, the above Even if you don't blame it, you will feel very sorry.

"Okay, tell me earlier." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

A few days later, several square and tall cars greeted the gate of Shekou Industrial Zone.

"Chen Sheng, we're almost there." In a jeep in the middle, President Liang said with a smile.

"It's not too far." Chen Zhiwen said.

"It's also because Chen Sheng's jeep has no major problems on any road. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so fast." President Liang said with a smile.

"This is not an ordinary jeep. It is an American military vehicle. I entrusted a friend to buy it from the United States." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Can American military vehicles be sold?" President Liang asked curiously. He was actually a soldier, so he naturally knew that the car he was riding in was much better than the current domestic military vehicles.

"Under normal circumstances, it is not possible, but if it matters, it is not a problem to get a few cars." Chen Zhiwen said that after returning from the mainland last time, he knew that the domestic traffic situation was worse than he thought, although there is a high probability that he would He often goes to big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc., but he still needs to make some preparations, especially in newly developed places like Shekou and Shenhai City. He will definitely go there often in the next few years. In many places, cars with better passability and better quality are still needed.

Therefore, I entrusted Henry Morgan to find several such cars, and finally sent several jeeps of the same model as the US military. Although they are used by the military, they are not weapons after all, and the restrictions are much smaller. Enthusiasts can get this car.

"It's really much more convenient. It would be great if there was such a car in China." President Liang laughed.

"I will keep these cars in China and put them near the Luohu Port. President Liang can take them directly if needed," Chen Zhiwen said.

"Thank you, Chen Sheng." President Liang looked ahead and said, "Here we are, Shekou is ahead."

Chen Zhiwen looked forward, and there was a big sign on the side of the dirt road, with five big characters "Shekou Industrial Zone" written on it.

Behind the sign is a group of people waiting at the intersection.

The car stopped and everyone got out of the car.

President Liang quickly introduced: "Chen Sheng, this is Director Yuan Geng of the Shekou Industrial Zone. Director Yuan, this is Chen Zhiwen and Chen Sheng from Hong Kong."

'"Chen Sheng, I have heard of your name a long time ago, and you are very welcome to come to the Shekou Industrial Zone." Yuan Geng smiled and shook hands.

"Director Yuan, hello." Chen Zhiwen also said politely.

The success of reform and opening up is the hard work of countless people, and Yuan Geng also plays a pivotal role in this. Although the Shekou Industrial Zone is small, only 2.00 square kilometers, it is a stronghold for domestic policies to test the waters. Success has saved many detours for the cities behind. It can be said that the success of the Shekou Industrial Zone has had a major impact on the development of Kaikai.

As the first pilot to try a new route, the difficulty can be imagined, not only the lack of money and people, but also the need to be extremely cautious when making decisions on many things. After all, no one has done similar things before. , and many eyes across the country are staring at this place. Once something goes wrong, there will be endless pressure.

President Liang also introduced several people in Chen Zhiwen's team, mainly the two senior executives of Midea: Lei Shengli and He Guoyuan, and the others were assistants, bodyguards and drivers.

"Chen Sheng, please come inside." Yuan Geng said.

"Okay." Chen Zhiwen nodded.

A group of people came to a brick house not far away. The floor in the house was not cement, but land, but there was no dust, which should have been carefully cleaned.

"Chen Sheng, the environment is a bit poor, please forgive me." Yuan Geng said with some embarrassment. Impossible to do something in less than a month.

"It's okay, everyone just sit down." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently, in fact, he was already mentally prepared for any situation.

Several people found a few bamboo chairs and sat down. Soon someone made tea and brought it over. The tea was served in a metal teacup that was popular in the 1980s, with a semicircular hand rest on one side and engraved "Advanced team of the Ministry of Railways", there is no bump in appearance, it should be a new cup.

Under the guidance of the middleman President Liang, everyone exchanged casual greetings for a while, and Chen Zhiwen said, "Director Yuan, may I have a look at the location of the industrial zone?"

"Okay." Yuan Geng nodded and agreed. An ugly daughter-in-law also needs to see her in-laws sooner or later. They come here to see the industrial area, and they will meet sooner or later.

Several people walked out of the gate, and after walking back for a hundred meters, Yuan Geng stopped and said, "Sheng Chen, our industrial zone is on the land in front of us. It's just a plan at the moment, and we haven't started to level the land yet."

"It's not far from the sea, is it?" Chen Zhiwen didn't care about the wasteland with many small hills in front of him, but looked at the blue coastline in the distance and said.

"It's not far, it's only 2 kilometers away." Yuan Geng replied.

"Then there is no better location, can we build a port?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Yes, we have already investigated. At least a container port with a throughput of 10 million tons can be built here, but it has not yet been built. Chen Sheng, you know that the construction of the port is also carried out step by step according to the demand." Yuan Geng Said.

"Then, do you think I can invest in the construction of this port?" Chen Zhiwen asked suddenly, looking at the sea not far away.
