Chapter 118

"There is no problem for the post office to delay these things for the time being. After all, it is necessary to communicate with the municipal government. The industrial park has too few populations in the early stage, so it may not be cost-effective to set up a site too early. It is not too late to join the third phase development plan of Qionglou Real Estate.

However, all these walls must be demolished and converted into two-story bungalows facing the street. In the future, they can be rented as shops in the commercial street. Now they are temporarily used as workers' activity centers, party members' centers, libraries and night schools.

I hope that the Export Industrial Park, as a window of external contact, can bring to the Deep Sea Special Zone a group of new Deep Sea people with broad vision, perseverance and enterprising spirit.” Zhou Yang walked out of the basically built workers’ dormitory area and pointed to the walls on both sides of the door and said.

Regarding his future plans, especially domestic careers, Zhou Yang has been adjusting his ideas in keeping pace with the times. He initially wanted to play a relatively high-end and wanted to engage in heavy industries such as steel, but after he gradually understood the current situation in the 1980s, he found that some difficulties were greater than he thought.

For example, many people in later generations had a wrong impression of the 1980s, calling it the last romantic era. It seems that this era is more free, and there are opportunities for wealth everywhere. Anyone who is reborn and resells toad mirrors and electronic watches can make money immediately.

But this is actually a survivor bias.

The Deep Sea Special Zone is an exception. As a test field for reform and opening up, it is not within the radiation range of traditional domestic rules.

But from the attacks on the Deep Sea Special Zone by newspapers in other parts of the country - accusing it of being a "new lease" for stolen country, you can see how much pressure the Deep Sea Special Zone was under in the early 1980s.

Therefore, Zhou Yang did not suggest that Tom Kuni find domestic companies to cooperate, because if Gibson chooses to cooperate with state-owned factories, it is estimated that the joint venture negotiations alone will be delayed for half a year.

Gibson didn't have so much time to waste it. Explorer Investment Company took on high financing costs in order to complete the acquisition.

Zhou Yang and others must make it a short and fast project. The construction of the new factory must be completed within one year, and the Gibson company will probably be repackaged and listed within two years. After three years, it will be almost time to sell the equity and cash out and leave the scene.

Not to mention looking for domestic companies to cooperate, even if Zhou Yang proposed a plan to find a partner in Hong Kong, he actually didn't have much expectations.

Because Gibson's new factory plan was so in a hurry that Tom Cooney was still choosing a partner in Hong Kong, Qionglou Real Estate had already obtained the final design drawings for the new factory.

Future partners do not even have the opportunity to participate in the decision-making of new factory construction, so how can they easily place heavy bets with Gibson?

Gibson plans to invest about US$15 million to build a large factory that can produce various greeting cards. Calculated based on the latest exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, the US dollar investment has been converted into Hong Kong dollars by more than 80 million.

If both parties invest half of each, the Hong Kong partners will have to invest at least HK$40 million. Even for the bosses of the largest printing companies in Hong Kong, they will have to pay almost most of their wealth to play with Gibson.

The decision to bet on wealth is obviously not easy, but Gibson on the other side cannot afford to delay it, so it is not very likely that Tom Cooney will find a partner quickly.

The reason why Zhou Yang did not remind Tom Kuni was that he was actually doing useless work, mainly because he hoped that Tom Kuni would take this opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of the printing industry in Hong Kong.

Although Hong Kong's printing industry cannot be compared with plastics, textiles, clothing and other industries, it still has a considerable output value.

And Tom Cooney, like most Americans, did not believe that people of color could do as good as whites before they came to the scene to conduct in-depth investigations.

Only when Tom Cooney comes to Hong Kong personally will he really tend to poach people locally in Hong Kong to form an operation and management team for a new factory.

If people sent from the United States to China to take over factories, not only will they need to pay huge business trip subsidies for the dispatched personnel, but there is also a high probability that Americans will "not adapt to China's national conditions".

Although the management team in Hong Kong is also very different from the mainland, it is much easier to communicate with each other than that of Americans.

In 1981, China actually had not issued the Foreign-Funded Enterprise Law, but fortunately, Shekou Industrial Park, the predecessor of Nantou Export Industrial Park, was aimed at overseas investment and allowed foreign-funded enterprises to set up factories that were solely owned.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yang dared to suggest Gibson to invest in the Deep Sea SAR. After he conveyed to the Deep Sea SAR government that Gibson in the United States was interested in investing in the Deep Sea SAR, the government immediately gave him very positive feedback.

The land in the export industrial park is allowed to be selected by the US company, and the SAR can coordinate resources in all aspects and strive to reduce the construction cycle within 6 months to ensure that Gibson's new factory in Deep Sea City can be put into production before October next year.

Local governments in the United States certainly dare not make such efficient guarantees, which shocked the former management of Gibson and other Gibson companies, and their acceptance of coming to the Deep Sea Special Zone to build factories has also increased significantly.

The large-scale equipment required by Gibson's new factory is mainly based on printing and tailoring, and there are no special requirements for the factory.

If it weren't for the batch of factory buildings launched by Qionglou Real Estate in the first phase, which were mainly aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises in Hong Kong, and the floor height did not meet the requirements of some large equipment, Zhou Yang would have been able to directly divide several buildings and use them for Gibson as new factories.

"Director Jay Chou, this is the factory site we selected for Gibson. The transportation is relatively convenient and the area is fully in line with the other party's requirements.

According to the data indicators provided by Gibson, we have prepared the construction budget for the factory and contacted various suppliers in advance. Just wait for Gibson to give an order, construction can be started at any time."

Li Mingde accompanied Zhou Yang to see the future factory site of Gibson Company, and the factory building of this new factory will be entrusted to Qionglou Real Estate to be responsible for the construction.

Qionglou Real Estate has been established for about a year, but it has grown into the largest real estate company in the Special Administrative Region. In addition to being the main developer of Nantou Export Industrial Park, Qionglou Real Estate is also responsible for the construction of several government-entrusted projects.

For example, for cadres and staff of various organs and units in Shenhai City, a family area with more than 1,000 residential buildings was built. After the establishment of Shenhai City, a large number of support cadres were drawn from all over the country, but the original housing level of Anbao County was very backward. Many cadres could only crowd in a dormitory after coming to the SAR, and the family members could not be arranged to accompany them.

If this situation does not change for a long time, it will have a great blow to the morale of the cadre team. One of the reasons why the Special Administrative Region Real Estate Development Company cooperated with Hong Kong businessman Liu Tian to develop residential communities was to help the government solve the problem of some housing gaps.

As the SAR government solved the problem of tight funds by issuing overseas debts, a large number of public real estate projects were immediately put on the agenda.

Almost all real estate projects invested by the municipal government are divided up by the SAR real estate company and Qionglou Real Estate, which is also the reason why Qionglou Real Estate is currently extremely tight in its capital chain.

After all, even if the deep sea government has money, it still hopes that companies can advance funds. At most, they can help Qionglou Real Estate contact the city's banks to solve the loan problem.

"Old Li, since Qionglou Real Estate is now tight in capital chain, then after I return to Hong Kong, I will ask Merrill Lynch to help you prepare for the bond issuance in advance.

I don’t know if you have ever heard of the Kennedy family in the United States. I am a partner with Caroline, the daughter of former President John Kennedy.

The Kennedy family recently intends to launch a large-scale community revitalization program in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York. This will design many renovations of old homes. I wonder if you have the courage to lead Qionglou property to explore the US market?"

Zhou Yang, Xu Jinggan and Li Mingde took a quick walk in the Export Industrial Park and returned to the deep sea city together.

Xu Jinggan had to go home to celebrate his child's birthday in the evening, so he passed the test and returned to Hong Kong. Zhou Yang stayed here and discussed some other things with Li Mingde.

"Go to New York? But I don't know anything about the situation in the United States!" Li Mingde couldn't keep up with Zhou Yang's thoughts.

“With my matchmaking, the Chinese community in New York will be an important partner of Caroline Kennedy. We plan to open up New York’s second Chinatown at Sunset Park in Brooklyn.

You may not know that you have never been to New York. The Chairman said that either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind!" Zhou Yang said lightly.

"You mean..." Li Mingde was not a fool after all, and immediately understood what Zhou Yang didn't mean clearly.

"I guess you can't make the decision on this matter, but no matter who you report to, I have a few things to pay attention to here, and you must transfer it to the level.

First, if Qionglou Real Estate enters the US market, it will only be a normal business behavior of an ordinary real estate company. Persons sent to the US cannot be party members, it is best to choose from those who have already obtained their Hong Kong ID card.

After all, Ed Wah Kennedy's personality is not friendly to the country. He is one of the main supporters of the Senate by the Shibao Island Act passed by the US Congress in 1979.

If Edward had direct connection with the Communist Party, it would be a major blow to his reputation. I don’t want his kindness to affect his relationship with the Kennedy family. Caroline Kennedy is my most important ally in the United States, so don’t make it difficult for me.

Second, I hope that your arrangements in New York and the United States can be based on the long-term. At that time, our party’s underground career was exciting, and I don’t know if this fine tradition has been continued.

New York is not only the headquarters of the United Nations, but also the economic and cultural center of the United States. New York has one of the largest Chinese communities in the United States and can provide the best cover for some great causes.

But the rules of the game in the United States are completely different from those in the East. It is a stupid thing to use our thinking model to do business in the United States. I hope that as a minority group, Chinese people can actively understand the rules of the game in the United States and learn to use the rules to make themselves the greatest profits.

By the way, there is an overseas Chinese leader named Lin Jianzhong in Chinatown, New York. He is from Siyi, eastern Guangdong Province and is now the owner of the largest garment factory in Chinatown, New York.

Lin Jianzhong flew from New York to Hong Kong from New York to inspect the market a few days ago. He should also come to the Deep Sea Special Administrative Region to take a look in a few days.

Lin Jianzhong and several other overseas Chinese leaders in Chinatown should next jointly establish a house rental company to participate in the Kennedy family's revitalization plan for the Sunset Park community.

I am quite thin in their place, and it is not a problem to arrange a few new immigrants or even illegal immigrants.

After all, there are more and more illegal immigrants from Hu Jian to New York from China. Now, almost every week, a whole boat of people can get ashore in Manhattan Chinatown." Zhou Yang said even more explicitly.

Under the pressure of the common enemy, the Red Polar Bear, China and the United States had a not very sweet honeymoon period in the 1980s. At this time, the United States was willing to sell Black Hawk helicopters, which would definitely be much more kind than raising tariffs forty years later and pouring dirty water.

Zhou Yang threw out his letter of fame at this time. Even if the US noticed the clues, he would probably give up the industry in the United States and would at least not be threatened with life.

After all, China in the 1980s was not the enemy of the United States, and the United States always had to keep some mercy.

But Americans never expected that it would take only 40 years to complete the shocking counterattack...

When Zhou Yang left Li Mingde's office, the other party looked serious, perhaps thinking about who he should report to. After submitting this letter of vote, Zhou Yang's development in China was truly laid.

As for how much of today's reminders can play in the future, it has nothing to do with Zhou Yang. He has created excellent conditions for the country, and it can be said that he has done his best to be kind and righteous. He can't let him end in person, Zhou Yang has not yet been so noble.

He decided not to come to the SAR during this period, so as not to have some people's expectations for him too high, and he really had to ask him, a millionaire, to do something he didn't want to do.
