Spring Breeze 1991

"Huh? There is an investment of [-] million US dollars in Nangang City?"

When the secretary came in to report, the governor frowned, suspecting that the people below had encountered a liar.

The secretary said, "Mayor Zhou is here, just outside."

"Send him in," said the governor.

Zhou Liang came in with a briefcase, instead of talking nonsense like before, he said bluntly, "Leader, I have two important tasks to report to you."

"Sit down and talk slowly. The five-star hotel project is doing very well, and your Nangang City Government is very resourceful and courageous. The next job is to implement it well and strive to complete it as soon as possible." The governor pressed his hand and asked Zhou Liang sat down.

The implication is that they don't believe in the $5 million investment.

Previously, the project of Xiahua Building was reported to the province, and the governor also attended the signing ceremony of the agreement. On Yao Yuan's side, the newly established Yuanda Investment Company was the main body and the largest shareholder of the joint venture company attended.The general manager of Yuanda Investment Company is Chen Yang, who worked at Goldman Sachs before leaving.

This project is waiting for the city government to level the land and hand it over.

For the city government, the most critical thing is whether the funds arrive.Now, 5000 million Huaxia coins have already been deposited in the account of Xiahua Real Estate Development Company, a joint venture company jointly funded and established by France Ward and Yuanda Investment.

Zhou Liang quickly said, "Governor, the Xiahua Building project is progressing smoothly. Our demolition work has already started. Most of the residents are government officials and employees of enterprises and institutions. The work is relatively easy. What I want to report to you is A large project planned by the direction machinery factory, which is [-]% owned by Southern Industrial."

He introduced the situation of Nanfang Industrial, and then took out the plan and plan, "Governor, Mr. Yao Yuan has already done the work ahead. This is the overall plan and this is the plan. They prepared it half a year ago. The planning has begun, and it has been done in great detail.”

He swallowed, and said with a trembling voice, "Xiangxiang Machinery Factory plans to invest 40 million US dollars in the next five years, 50 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, that is [-] billion Huaxia dollars, to build a Lingang Industrial Park, all After completion, the planned annual output value can reach [-] billion Huaxia coins. The most important thing is that it is clearly mentioned in the plan that exports will account for half of it!"

The governor subconsciously grabbed the plan, glanced at Zhou Liang who was still in agitation, and then carefully read the plan.

The plan is very well done, well-founded, and the data involved is also very detailed, it doesn't look like a liar.

In the early 90s, scammers who opened a few leather bag companies to defraud local governments and banks were not yet popular, but the governor was a cautious person and did not believe that there would be pie in the sky.

As for the governor of a province, he didn't appear very excited, but asked calmly, "This Yao Yuan personally said that he would invest [-] million U.S. dollars, are you sure it's U.S. dollars?"

"Yes, it's US dollars!" Zhou Liang nodded quickly.

The governor asked again, "Where did the dollars come from? Have you asked? Have you verified it?"

Zhou Liang froze suddenly.

He was only excited, thought for a while, and then said firmly, "No, but I believe what he said is true. A company as big as the French Ward Company is following his lead, and he must have a lot of foreign exchange in his hand. Governor, in fact, Yao Yuan won the tens of millions of dollars of foreign trade orders in our city last year, and at the time of the import and export exhibition, the province also focused on publicity."

"It turned out to be that young man."

The governor quickly connected the cause and effect, thought for a moment, and said, "Sit down first."

He picked up the phone and called the foreign exchange management department to inquire about the situation with his old classmate who was working as a deputy there.

"Old Zhou, it's me. There is such a situation." The governor said briefly after explaining the matter, "[-] million US dollars is not a small amount. Does this Southern Industry have so much foreign exchange?"

Lao Zhou from the foreign exchange management department said, "Nanfang Industrial and Yao Yuan have their names here."

"It's a name?" The governor was shocked. Is there really a problem?

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay to tell you, but you have to control the scope of your knowledge, there are requirements from above."

The implication is that as long as you know it, you can't spread it.

The governor nodded and said, "Don't worry."

Old Zhou said in a deep voice, "At the end of last year, Yao Yuan made more than one billion dollars in foreign markets, more than one billion dollars, half of last year's foreign exchange reserves. This money is currently in our account. It's not that he doesn't have foreign exchange, but Too many to use up."

"Wait, Lao Zhou, are you joking?" The governor didn't believe it at all.

Lao Zhou said seriously, "Do you think I'm joking about this kind of thing?"

The governor fell silent for a moment.

It's beyond his cognition.

Last year, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 30 billion yuan.Yao Yuan earned more than a billion dollars, that is to say, with his own strength, he raised his foreign exchange reserves to more than 40 billion and nearly 50 billion dollars.

Lao Zhou said, "He said he would invest [-] million US dollars, and he would definitely get it out."

The governor suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Can Southern Industrial use foreign exchange freely?"

"Well, the foreign exchange they earn is half of the country's. It's impossible not to give this right, and I also tell you that the Yuanhai Import and Export Company under Southern Industrial is Yuanhai Trade, which has independent import and export qualifications." Old Zhou said.

Speaking of this, Lao Zhou suppressed his voice and reminded, "Old classmate, don't blame me for not reminding you. Everyone is staring at the fat piece of Nanfang Industrial. If you Guangdong Province don't pay attention to it, some people use 18 The People's Bridge was carried away."

The governor immediately felt a sense of crisis, and in fact the sense of crisis was already very strong.

Lao Zhou knew that the Xinxing Group had borrowed 20 billion dollars from Yao Yuan, so he naturally knew that the actual profit Yao Yuan earned during his stay in Eastern Europe and Moscow was 35 billion dollars, but these things are highly confidential and must not be disclosed.

All he could do was to vaguely remind his old classmates to attach great importance to Nanfang Industry and Yao Yuan, and if Yao Yuan went to invest in other places, it would be too late to cry.

After thanking the old classmates, the governor decisively instructed, "Zhou Liang, you will start the preliminary work for the Lingang Industrial Park project immediately. I will go back to Nangang with you tomorrow, no, now, and have an interview with Mr. Yao."

It was exactly the same as Zhou Liang a few hours ago, and he didn't want to waste a minute.The governor has realized that the provincial government has actually fallen behind on the issue of southern industries.

No wonder, after all, before this, even the local officials did not know the situation of Southern Industry.

The governor said, "You wait for me downstairs, and I will report to one."

Then he called the secretary, pushed back all the subsequent work arrangements, picked up the planning map and proposal, and hurriedly searched for a report.

Zhou Liang was waiting downstairs, his mood still restless.

As soon as he thought of a project that could definitely get national attention settled in Nangang, he seemed to see the scene where he was sitting in the governor's office after a few times.

An investment of 5 million US dollars is a super big project that is enough for the leaders of any country in the world to personally ask about it. The purchasing power of the US dollar was strong in the 90s, but not as weak as it was 30 years later.Most countries in the world do not have a fiscal revenue of 5 million U.S. dollars...
