Chapter 515 Guests from the Southeast
Zhang Renkang smiled and said
"It seems that Huo Ting's reform of the sales department has been implemented very quickly."
"However, the production base in Yangcheng cannot be delayed. Now that the country has finally approved a piece of land for us in the Economic Cooperation Development Zone, we must quickly complete the production work within two years."
"Have you sent out the invitation letters I asked you to send to the Hong Kong and Euro merchants in Hong Kong Island?"
Tang Yan nodded, picked up Zhang Renkang's teacup, replaced it with hot water and said
"With the assistance of Minister Huo, everyone who should be invited has been invited."
"However, Mr. Fok's point is that most Hong Kong businessmen have great concerns, especially about the safety of their investments."
“I don’t know what the effect will be.”
Zhang Renkang sighed, shook his head and said
"We confiscated a large amount of assets in one go. For these businessmen in Hong Kong, a large number of them suffered losses that year."
“Due to our standpoint, we cannot judge right or wrong.”
“But it has had a certain impact on the country’s reputation.”
“But this doesn’t have much impact.”
"Our priority is not to win over these people, but to encourage Hong Kong and Chinese businessmen who have good intentions in China, as well as some Western capital, to enter first as a model of paying a huge sum of money for bones."
"If the current domestic environment triggers too much capital to flow in, it may not be a good thing."
Before Zhang Renkang left Sijiucheng, the chief met with him again and listened to his opinions on the economic cooperation development zone and his ideas on opening up external markets.
The biggest problem in the country at present is that productivity is developing slowly and can no longer meet the needs of feeding the growing population.
At the beginning of 69, the population had recovered after twenty years of peace since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Last year, the population was 7.8 million
There are more than 15 million young and middle-aged workers aged 55-. Due to the limited development situation, how can we provide so many jobs?
Coupled with the backwardness of per-acre yield and fertilizer industry, the food pressure is also huge. Otherwise, why would they call on so many young people to go to the countryside to work in the fields?
Zhang Renkang's suggestion is to launch a nationwide large-scale infrastructure project, organize a group of laborers to start vigorously regulating the river, and build the north-south and east-west main arteries. This infrastructure will use wages as labor remuneration to improve people's income level.
To this end, the China Automobile Group undertook to provide the National Academy with a profit support of no less than 300 million Hong Kong dollars each year, and with the China Automobile Group as a guarantee, introduced a certain number of Hong Kong and Chinese businessmen to invest in the mainland.
Learn from later generations to promote economic development through infrastructure construction
Zhang Renkang raised the issue of the output and quality of raw materials used in the current infrastructure construction, and asked the State Council to pay close attention to product quality and formulate a number of high-standard production standards to be popularized throughout the country.
This requirement has attracted great attention from the leaders. After many discussions, they also realized the importance of the same production standards and quality inspection standards, which is extremely beneficial to the circulation of materials and foreign exports across the country.
To this end, we have started to organize experts from various industries to discuss production quality standard solutions for various industries.
Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a large number of relevant Western standards and rules were introduced, and the domestic production quality acceptance standards were tried to be unified.
What Zhang Renkang did not expect was that this move indirectly promoted a large number of experts from various industries who had been demoted to be re-employed and transferred back to their original positions and received further attention, directly saving the fate of a group of people.
It also laid the foundation for China's economic recovery and scientific and technological development ten years later.
Tang Yan nodded and said softly
"There are currently two special guests on the list provided by Mr. Huo"
"Tomorrow Mr. Guo He from Southeast Malaysia and Mr. Caldwell from Mesa will send a visit request."
Zhang Renkang stood up in surprise and said
"Who?"
"Let me see"
Tang Yan took out a piece of paper from the file and handed it to Zhang Renkang and said
"This is a visit application sent to the company through Mr. Huo."
“I just finished tidying up.”
Zhang Renkang looked down and saw that besides six or seven businessmen from Hong Kong Island, two names and introductions caught his attention.
Kuok Hok, a Malaysian Chinese businessman, Chairman of Kuok Sugar
Caldwell, Vice President, Ford Group
Zhang Renkang frowned, thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed
"Hello, I'm Zhang Renkang from Xinhua Automobile Group."
"Is Mr. Huo here?"
Huo Dong took the phone and said with a smile
“I guess you’ll call today.”
“I didn’t expect it to be so early.”
Zhang Renkang said with a smile
"Is Mr. Guo He with you?"
Huo Dong laughed and said
"Well, Mr. Guo came to Hong Kong Island the day before yesterday. We have cooperated before. Mr. Guo heard that we are interested in developing the southeast market, so he asked me to make an appointment with you."
“Let’s talk about the Southeast market.”
"Not only Mr. Guo, but Mr. Zhang Yun is also here."
Zhang Renkang said with a smile
"It's better to do it today than to wait for a better day. How about I go to Mr. Huo's place later?"
"I have known Mr. Kuo He and Mr. Chang Yun for a long time, and as a junior, I cannot treat them with disrespect."
Guo He was introduced by Zhang Renkang to the chief in Sijiu City a while ago. As the sugar king of Asia, he has supplied more than 500,000 tons of sugar to China in recent years, which has greatly alleviated the domestic shortage.
This candy is not just for eating
Industrial production and even military production are inseparable
The pressure from the North was so great that in order to prevent the domestic industrial system from being wiped out after the outbreak of war and the front line from lacking ammunition, all military-industrial enterprises have been operating at a high intensity in recent years.
The bullets and shells in stock are in the tens of millions.
At one point, it was difficult to buy two ounces of sugar even in the city.
Zhang Yun is the shipping king of Southeast China. A considerable part of the scarce materials in the country are transported in through his fleet. Like Huo Dong, he has made great contributions to the development of the country.
Zhang Renkang thought of the meeting with the chief before he left. The chief told him that he must find a way to give back to the two patriotic businessmen if he had the chance.
At present, China is still under the blockade of US and Saudi sanctions. Due to confidentiality, there has been no good way to thank the two patriotic businessmen.
However, these two are also good helpers for Xinhua Automobile Group to open up the southeast market.
Zhang Renkang still remembers that since this year, sugar prices have soared around the world, which once brought considerable profit margins and opportunities.
Xinhua Automobile Group has received a large amount of cash for car orders, and it is impossible to invest in the Yangcheng Automobile Production Base all at once, so the abundant cash flow in hand cannot be wasted.
In the next ten years, the head of government wants Xinhua Automobile Group to return HK$500 million in profits to China every year as reserve funds for the National Academy to carry out infrastructure construction. A total of HK$5 billion will be included in the infrastructure reserve fund.
This pressure is not small. If we can gain some benefits from this feast,
Then Xinhua Automobile Group, Zhang Renkang is even confident that he can complete the leader's task ahead of schedule
