Spring Breeze 1991

When Vice Mayor Ye learned that Wing On Group was going to build a headquarters building in Shenzhen, compared with the Bank of China Building in Hong Kong, he was so excited that he wanted to jump up.

What surprised him even more was that Yu Yong'an told him that the big boss of Yong'an Group was Yao Yuan, and he immediately strongly requested to see Yao Yuan now.

Yu Yongan called Yao Yuan, but Yao Yuan could only agree.

In the car on the way, Yu Yongan said, "Mayor Ye, Mr. Yao is going to go to Hong Kong tonight. He has a lot of affairs to deal with in Hong Kong. He will only talk about principles for a while, not details."

In another era, which businessman dared to talk to the deputy mayor like this, and which businessman would dare to wait in the hotel for the deputy mayor to visit him.

It was a common phenomenon in the 90s. Businessmen of Yao Yuan's level were already highly valued by the state.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Yao is in charge of big things, and those small things will be handled by the people below. Director Yu, don't worry, the city government will fully support the construction of Yong'an Building. If there is a problem with funds, just let the city government coordinate with the bank to provide support." Deputy Mayor Ye was so excited that he couldn't sit still like a child who got a handsome toy gun.

A few days ago, he would not have dared to make this promise, but now it is different. As the second largest shareholder of Shenzhen Development Bank, the wallet of the Shenzhen Municipal Government is also bulging, and it is no problem to spend tens of millions of funds.

The most important thing is that he knows that Yong'an Group is not short of money, and Southern Industrial is not short of money.

Sure enough, Yu Yongan said with a smile, "Yongan Group has no financial problems, and it is not difficult to come up with one billion yuan."

What is rich and powerful, this is it.

Deputy Mayor Ye suddenly had a bold idea. He tried to say, "Director Yu, is Wing On Group interested in participating in the construction of Shekou Port?"

"Shekou Port?" Yu Yongan was taken aback, and said, "That is a project hosted by China Merchants Group, and several major families in Hong Kong have participated."

Who doesn't want to participate? Any fool can see that the future Shekou Industrial Park and Shekou Port will be the first powerful engine for China's economic development. You must know that Shekou Industrial Park is China's first foreign industrial park. It has been developed for ten years.

Deputy Mayor Ye said, "Yes, to be honest, the current development progress is relatively low. If Yongan Group is willing to come in, it will be a good promotion for foreign investors."

Yu Yong'an didn't quite understand, as far as he knew, there was nothing wrong with the construction of Shekou Port.

However, when it comes to group strategy issues, he can't make the decision.

"I'm afraid I need to discuss this with Mr. Yao." Yu Yongan said.

Deputy Mayor Ye brought up this matter just to bring up the topic, and the purpose has been achieved, but he obviously will not give up the opportunity to win over Yu Yongan.

Wing On Group is a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, which is more pleasing than Nanfang Industrial, which is [-]% from the mainland, even though Nanfang Industrial is a holding company.

Deputy Mayor Ye has learned from Yu Yongan that Yongan Group is managed by Yu Yongan. Except for major strategic matters, Yao Yuan will generally not interfere. Therefore, Yu Yongan's role is very important.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, I think we can sign a comprehensive cooperation agreement. The main business of Yuyong Group is clothing trade. We can carry out in-depth cooperation in this regard."

Yu Yong'an said, "Yong'an Group is already discussing this matter with Guan City to build a garment industrial park."

"Did you sign the contract?" Deputy Mayor Ye's heart tightened suddenly.

Yu Yongan said, "We're almost done talking."

"Could you consider Shenzhen City? Our Shenzhen City is better than Dongguan City in terms of geographical location, investment environment, and policies." Deputy Mayor Ye said eagerly.

Yu Yongan shook his head helplessly and said, "Mayor Ye, in fact, we first contacted Shekou Industrial Park, but the other party said that they only accept foreign capital or joint ventures, and most of the enterprises that cooperate with Yongan Group are mainland enterprises. In desperation, we only I can talk to Guanshi now."

This is a rule, and Deputy Mayor Ye cannot break it.

He thought for a moment and said, "How large?"

Yu Yongan said, "We plan to gather cooperative enterprises and related factories. There are about 100 factories and related companies. The total investment is about 20 billion Huaxia dollars."

"How much?" Deputy Mayor Ye suspected that he had auditory hallucinations.

Yu Yongan said, "More than 100."

"How much is the total investment?" Deputy Mayor Ye was concerned about the scale of investment.

Yu Yongan smiled, "Within five years, 20 billion Huaxia coins."

"20 billion!"

Deputy Mayor Ye was dumbfounded, his expression was not much better than Zhou Liang's when he heard that Xiangfang Machinery would invest 50 billion to build the Lingang Industrial Zone.

Not to mention inland factories, even small workshops in towns and villages, let alone 20 billion, if they can come up with 2000 million, it is enough for the city government to attach great importance to it.

"Director Yu, can you suspend the negotiations with Guan City and give me a few days." Deputy Mayor Ye swallowed and said.

Yu Yongan hesitated, "This, I'm afraid I have to discuss this with Mr. Yao. As long as he agrees, it will be fine."

"Okay, okay, talk to Mr. Yao."

Yu Yongan reminded with a smile, "Yongan Building is ranked first, and Mr. Yao basically doesn't care about the business of Yongan Group."

"understand!"

Seeing Yao Yuan at the hotel, Deputy Mayor Ye's attitude was more respectful than the previous few days.Yongan Group belongs to Yao Yuan, which means that Yao Yuan is no longer an ordinary mainland businessman.In fact, after careful consideration, he also understood that the strength and influence of a businessman holding more than a billion dollars in foreign exchange can no longer be measured by conventional standards.

During this period of time, he was overwhelmed by the affairs of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and he didn't think carefully about the joints involved. Now his thinking is very clear-Yao Yuan and Southern Industrial are definitely super investors that the Shenzhen Stock Exchange must fully grasp.

So "Mr. Yao" became "Mr. Yao".

"Mr. Yao, I'm late, I'm sorry." Deputy Mayor Ye kept his posture very low.

Yao Yuan was quite surprised, and said, "Why is Mayor Ye so out of touch, please sit down."

After taking his seat, Deputy Mayor Ye said embarrassingly, "It's Ye who has blind eyes, and he knew too little about Southern Industry before."

Yu Yongan said, "Mayor Ye hopes that Yongan Group will put the garment industrial park in Shenzhen."

Deputy Mayor Ye nodded gratefully to Yu Yongan, but he was a little puzzled. When he was in the car, it was Yu Yongan who insisted on talking about the Yongan Building first. Why did he mention the Garment Industrial Park first instead?

Yao Yuan suddenly understood, thought it over, and said, "Mayor Ye, of course I prefer Shenzhen, but at present, it is not suitable for a garment industrial park dominated by mainland enterprises to be located in Shenzhen."

"I understand, Mr. Yao, I only have one request now. I ask Yong'an Group to give us a few days in the Shenzhen market. We must come up with a plan that satisfies Yong'an Group as soon as possible." Vice Mayor Ye said sincerely.

He continued, "On the way, I also mentioned to Chairman Yu that we invited companies under Nanfang Industrial to participate in the development of Shekou Port. With the strength of Nanfang Industrial, I believe there will be great development. The goal of China Merchants Group It is very clear that Shekou Port will be built into the largest distribution center and logistics port in China."

Yao Yuan didn't look surprised at all, and said, "After the incident happened three years ago, our reform and opening up encountered great resistance from both inside and outside, and only then did the chief designer's inspection of Shenzhen City lead to the development momentum of Shekou Port. The slowdown is due to the fact that a large number of participating Hong Kong businessmen have doubts about the determination of the mainland’s opening-up policy, and as a result, Hong Kong-funded enterprises that were originally determined to invest have turned to wait and see.”

As soon as these words came out, Deputy Mayor Ye's face became even more embarrassed.

Yu Yongan was thoughtful.

In fact, Yao Yuan just clicked. If he really spoke clearly, he might be dragged away to conduct research on national strategic policies.

At present, the entire reform and opening up has entered a difficult period, which is an ice-breaking period. More and more foreign companies are holding currency to wait and see, and the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on China have cast a shadow over the entire economic opening policy.During this period, companies that were able to move forward firmly and play a leading role were later given preferential treatment by the state.

The development of Shekou Port has also been affected. Even if China Merchants Group tried its best, it could not reverse the situation.

Just like the stock market, once investors lose confidence, the stock price will plummet.

Rather than saying that there is a lack of funds, it is better to say that more Hong Kong businessmen have lost confidence in investing in the mainland.The reason why Hong Kong-funded factories that followed Wing On Group to set up factories in the mainland is mainly because of Wing On Group's rigid requirements, and the guarantee of fixed foreign trade orders, a business that can make a profit without losing money.

Therefore, Yu Yongan didn't feel very deeply about the changes in the external situation.

After pondering for a while, Yao Yuan said, "It's okay to postpone the signing time, but I personally think it's better to put it in Guanshi."

"Mr. Yao, please give Shenzhen City a chance!" Deputy Mayor Ye was taken aback, wishing he could pat his chest and said, "Shenzhen City will definitely be able to come up with a plan that satisfies you."

Yao Yuan said, "I can wait for a few days."

Deputy Mayor Ye nodded heavily, "Thank you, Mr. Yao. Mr. Yao, there is no problem with the Yongan Building. The city government fully supports it. If you have any requirements, please feel free to ask us. The land is not a problem. The land you choose is determined by the city government. This year, it will all be leveled out and the construction of infrastructure will be done well.”

"In addition, the city government has already agreed to the gas pipeline you mentioned last time, and the operation right is handed over to you."

What Yao Yuan wanted to hear was the second sentence, so he couldn't help but smile happily, "Thank you for the support of the city government. It is no problem to participate in the development of Shekou Port. Nanfang Industrial is willing to do its best to help promote this project. Mayor Ye, how about it, Nanfang Industry helps organize a foreign business inspection, as for how much you can retain, it depends on you."

"Great!" It was a surprise, and Deputy Mayor Ye thanked him repeatedly.

After talking for more than half an hour, Deputy Mayor Ye left energetically, and immediately went back to report to the leader.It also talked about the more sensitive Russian business issue. Yao Yuan attached great importance to it, and vice mayor Ye would naturally not neglect it.After agreeing with the leader, Deputy Mayor Ye rushed to the provincial capital overnight to report to Zhang Chang.

That is the big business with tens of billions of profits that Yao Yuan told Lin Wei.
