Chapter 1357 The Old Man Goes South!

Historically, the most important historical event in 1992.

It was the old man's trip to the south.

It was already January 15th, and Mr. Shen came down in advance to tell Yang Ming about this. And this time the old man went south, he did not bring many people, nor did he announce it to the public. He just wanted to quietly see how those cities he wanted to see were developing.

Historically, the old man left Yanjing on January 17th and took a train to the south.

Then he arrived in Wuchang on January 18th.

The time spent in Wuchang was not long, and he went south to Changsha on the same day.

The old man did not stay in Changsha for long, and then arrived in Pengcheng on the morning of January 19th, and then went to Yangcheng.

However, according to Mr. Shen, the old man should arrive in Yangcheng first, and then arrive in Pengcheng.

Historically, the two places that the old man paid the most attention to.

One is Pengcheng, and the other is Pudong.

However, Pudong has developed much slower in history.

As for Yangcheng, although the old man also paid attention to it, compared with other experimental areas, the degree of attention is definitely not much.

It is different now.

The emergence of Yang Ming has brought about many changes.

Including, after Shencheng Putong and Pengcheng won the Shencheng Stock Exchange and Pengcheng Stock Exchange respectively, Yangcheng also won the Yangcheng Futures Exchange.

And the futures exchange in Yangcheng is also developing rapidly.

In addition, under the influence of gold futures, Yangcheng has now become the largest gold trading center in the country.

It is impossible to say that the old man does not value Yangcheng.

In addition, Yangcheng has been the commercial capital and center of South China for more than 2,000 years.

"Mr. Shen, you mean the old man will meet me in Yangcheng on January 19th. Shouldn't he go to Pengcheng first?"

"No, he has to go to Yangcheng first, and Guangdong Province also arranged the route that way."

On New Year's Day in 1992, Mr. Chen, who was in Guangdong Province at the time, was inspecting work in Nanhai. Mr. Xie from Guangdong Province suddenly called and said, "The old man we have been looking forward to for a long time is coming. Please come back quickly to study the overall reception and security guard work." Mr. Chen hurried back to Yangcheng and saw the top-secret telegram sent from Yanjing: The old man is going to the south to rest, please do a good job of security reception.

When discussing the work arrangements, everyone thought that the old man was coming to rest and advocated arranging the reception according to the idea of ​​rest, but Mr. Chen didn't think so.

With his political sensitivity, he believed that the old man's coming this time was a major strategic move.

Mr. Chen felt that another historic event was about to happen around them.

On January 3, a three-member advance team arrived in Yangcheng and told Guangdong Province: "The old man is here to rest." They proposed that the old man should be allowed to see the new achievements of Guangdong Province's opening up, but also that he should not be too tired as he is already 88 years old.

The inspection plan they proposed was Pengcheng-Zhucheng-Pengcheng-Shencheng, and the old man could inspect the two experimental areas of Pengcheng and Zhucheng respectively.

Because of his past work, Mr. Chen was very familiar with these three people. So he suggested to them that while ensuring safety and considering the health of the old man, the old man must be allowed to see more and sit down and talk more. He could not take a boat back to Pengcheng after inspecting Zhucheng, and must see the Pearl River Delta, because the Pearl River Delta has changed a lot.

Finally, the advance team reported the inspection route plan proposed by Mr. Chen and Mr. Xie, namely Yangcheng-Pengcheng-Huicheng-Zhucheng, Pearl River Delta-Shencheng, together with other plans.

As a result, Mr. Wang and others around the old man decided to adopt this route plan.

In this way, the advance team spent a total of 7 days to make field arrangements and inspections along the scheduled route.

Why is there an extra Huicheng compared to history?

The main reason is that Longchuan, Yang Ming's hometown, used to be under the management of Huicheng District, and Huicheng was also circled by the old man because of Yang Ming.

Although Longchuan has been separated from Huicheng in recent years and has become a county town under Heyuan. However, Yang Ming still has a great influence on Huicheng District.

In addition to the promise that Huicheng District primary and secondary schools were fully exempted, many secondary technical schools, junior colleges, and even undergraduate colleges were established, which played a very important role in the education of Huicheng District.

It can be said that in recent years, Huicheng District's college entrance examination results have always been at the forefront of the country and the province, which has a lot to do with Yang Ming's support for education.

In addition, the Empire Group has a large-scale industrial layout in Huicheng.

Including Huicheng Steel Plant, Huicheng Refinery, Huicheng Oil Extraction Company, Huicheng Chemical Company, etc., basically the Empire Group's industrial investment in Guangdong Province is carried out in Huicheng.

Now Huicheng is the most important city with the largest scale of foreign-funded industrialization in Guangdong Province and even the whole country.

These are also what the old gentleman wants to see.

At this time, Yang Ming finished talking with Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen was going to Yangcheng with Yang Ming on January 18. He stayed in Hong Kong for the next two days.

After talking with Mr. Shen.

That night, Mr. Shen had dinner at the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Yang Ming arranged for him to stay in the guest room of the Repulse Bay Hillside Villa.

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Mr. Shen had already gotten up early.

Compared with Yanjing now, the temperature in Hong Kong is much warmer, and the temperature is still around 20 degrees Celsius.

After having breakfast with Mr. Shen, Yang Ming sent bodyguards to take him to various places in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong also changes a lot every year.

And Mr. Shen hasn't been here for many years.

When the bodyguards sent Mr. Shen away.

Yang Ming took the car back to the Empire State Building headquarters.

When he went to the chairman's office, he asked Lin Xiuzhi to inform Meris that Huo Jianning came to see him.

Five minutes passed.

The two of them took the elevator up.

Yang Ming, Mailisi, and Huo Jianning sat there and said, "The old gentleman will go south soon."

Old gentleman?

Mailisi and Huo Jianning looked at each other.

For both of them, the Imperial Group's domestic investment scale is very large, and all domestic aspects are also very important to the Imperial Group.

Especially the old gentleman.

The two of them also knew that the relationship between Yang Ming and the old man was not simple, and Mailisi and Huo Jianning also admired the old man's ability very much.

"I plan to go to Yangcheng on the morning of January 18 to wait for the old gentleman."

"Boss, shall we follow?"

"No, I'll just go there."

Yang Ming had no intention of bringing Mailisi and Huo Jianning with him. After all, these two people were very important and had a great influence. As long as Yang Ming went there, that would be enough.

Of course, he will bring Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Yingla, Alina and others.

I talked to two people about this.

After the two went back to work.

Yang Ming has not returned to Yangcheng for some time, and he doesn't know how Yangcheng is doing now.

On the afternoon of January 17, 1992.

The old man and others took the train south, passing through some provinces and cities on the way. The old man did not get off the train until the morning of January 18, when they arrived at Wupang Railway Station.

Originally I was just passing through here.

The old gentleman found that he had been sitting on the train for too long, so he came down to take a look. Unexpectedly, many people were waiting for him.

The old gentleman decided to stay at the train station for twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later.

The old gentleman and others got on the car again and took the train south until they arrived in Changsha.

It was already January 18, 1992 in Changsha.

However, the old gentleman just got off the train to take a look and did not stay.

. . .

On the morning of January 18, 1992.

Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, He Chaoluo, Alina, Yingla, and accompanying Mr. Shen left the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa in a car under the protection of Yang Ming's bodyguards.

The dispatch of Yang Ming's motorcade still attracted the attention of Sir, who was part of Xiangjiang.

Immediately, Sir Xiangjiang opened the way for Yang Ming's motorcade.

Because of the current Xiangjiang Science and Technology City Park, it is very fast to go to Luohu Port.

All we take is the highway.

After passing Luohu Port, enter Pengcheng.

Yang Ming didn't stop and went straight onto the highway.

However, Pengcheng and Guangdong Province had already sent many convoys to clear the way.

This expressway was the first expressway built by the Asian Expressway Company under the Imperial Group for Guangdong Province and even China.

Yangcheng-Pengcheng Expressway.

This expressway has long been turned into a golden channel. Now more and more vehicles are traveling between the two places every day. It plays a very important role in promoting the economy of Yangcheng, Guancheng and Pengcheng.

It saves a lot of time, manpower and material resources and accelerates the economic development of the three places.

Now Yang Ming and others are in the car. From what he can see, he knows that the domestic economy is getting better and better, and there will be more and more cars.

As a result, this highway with the most channels in the world will still be very comfortable to drive in the next thirty years.

From Pengcheng to Yangcheng via expressway.

It took a little over an hour.

After entering Yangcheng, Yang Ming had noticed that the changes in Yangcheng were also very big.

Entering a highway intersection in Yangcheng.

Exit the highway intersection.

At this time, more people had come to greet him.

Including Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhu from Guangdong Province, Mr. Gao and Mr. Li from Yangcheng.

Historically, Mr. Li was very famous as the second-in-command of Yangcheng.

At this time, these people were waiting for Yang Ming to come, even a long time in advance.

When Yang Ming's car stopped.

Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Gao, Mr. Li and others came over.

When Mr. Shen and Yang Ming introduced the identities of these people, Yang Ming knew some of them, including Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhu, who had met them before. However, this was the first time for Yang Ming to meet Mr. Gao, Mr. Li and others.

In particular, Lao Li is a bit thin, a typical local from Guangdong Province.

Yang Ming shook hands with them and then left in the car.

Along the way, Yang Ming found that the convoy in front was clearing the road, there were basically no other cars, and many people were watching the excitement on the street.

In fact, many people didn't know who was coming at first.

However, when they learned that it was Mr. Yang, the famous chairman of the Imperial Group, who came to Yangcheng, those who watched the excitement knew why Guangdong Province and Yangcheng paid so much attention to it.

Since 1978, Imperial Group has begun large-scale investments in Guangdong Province and Yangcheng.

From the earliest infrastructure, including highways, power stations, etc., to the Yangcheng Zhujiang New Town invested in previous years, as well as the Yangcheng Horse Racing, Yangcheng Futures Exchange, etc.

Many people have heard that it is related to Sir Yang's investment in Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming looked out and found that the changes in Yangcheng were still great, with many more high-rise buildings.

When I came to the office in Guangdong Province.

Yang Ming and others got out of the car.

Yang Ming went to talk to Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu and others for more than an hour.

It can be said that these two people know very well that Sir Yang played a very important role in Yangcheng's ability to win the Yangcheng Futures Exchange.

Zhujiang New Town’s HK$100 billion investment is also very important for the development of Yangcheng’s CBD.

None of this would be possible without the support of Imperial Group and Sir Yang.

Among these people, Yang Ming wanted to talk to Mr. Li alone.

Historically, Mr. Li played a very important role in the development of Guangzhou.

Including the stable GDP ranking third in the country, building subways, introducing foreign investment, etc.

However, the subway in Guangzhou has actually been under construction for a long time, and it is a joint venture with the Hong Kong Underground Railway Company.

Mr. Li seemed very enthusiastic about Sir Yang's arrival.

He hoped that the Empire Group would increase its investment and support in Guangzhou.

The two talked for more than an hour.

At noon.

Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City entertained Yang Ming and others very grandly.

In the afternoon.

Yang Ming returned to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel in Guangzhou to stay.

In the evening.

Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City entertained Yang Ming and some people with a very grand banquet.

When Yang Ming finished the dinner.

Back to the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.

Looking out from here, you can see that the urban construction in Guangzhou has changed a lot. If you go to the Zhujiang New Town invested by the Empire Group, you can see more high-rise buildings.

There, you will feel the great changes in Guangzhou in the past ten years.

Rest for a night.

Early the next morning.

Yang Ming got up early and had breakfast at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.

Mr. Xie and others had sent someone to pick up Yang Ming.

Because the old man would arrive at Yangcheng Railway Station at 9:00 am.

Yang Ming took a car to Yangcheng Railway Station.

At this time, Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Gao, Mr. Li and others were already waiting here.

When Yang Ming appeared, they immediately pulled Yang Ming over.

9:00 am.

The train from Yanjing to the south arrived at the railway station safely.

At this time, there were many more people outside the railway station.

When the train stopped smoothly, the door of a carriage opened.

It was the old man who came down from it.

The old man was supported by his family.

However, when the old man saw Yang Ming in the crowd, he immediately showed a different look.

Others surrounded him, and after the old man greeted Mr. Xie and others, Yang Ming and Mr. Shen went over.

Then Yang Ming shook hands with the old man.

The old man did not let go for a long time.

This trip to the south, meeting Yang Ming was also a very important thing.

The old man and others got on the car and left.

Originally, Mr. Xie and others considered the old man's age and hoped that he would have a good rest in the Zhudao Hotel in Yangcheng.

Who would have thought that the old man said: "I want to see the changes in Yangcheng."

The old man had seen Yangcheng before, but it had been some time.

At this time, although he had just arrived in Yangcheng, the old man couldn't wait to see the changes in Yangcheng over the years.

Mr. Xie and others could only make arrangements.

First, take the old man to Zhujiang New Town.

At this time, Zhujiang New Town has not been fully built, but the first and second phases have been completed, and the third, fourth and fifth phases should be completed in the next two years.

There are tall buildings here, all of which are Class A office buildings.

In addition to the headquarters of a large number of state-owned enterprises in Guangdong Province and Yangcheng.

The headquarters of Empire Group and many of its subsidiaries are also here.

There are even many foreign headquarters, including the Yangcheng headquarters of supercomputer software companies, etc.

When the old man and others came here by car and saw the tall buildings here, the old man was surprised.

He knew that this was invested by Empire Group. This is also the CBD of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and one of the three largest CBDs in China, in addition to the Lujiazui CBD Center in Pudong, Shencheng, and the CBD Center in Yanjing International Trade Center.

And now Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town CBD has taken shape. (End of this chapter)
