Chapter 1358 Zhujiang New Town!
The old man couldn't wait to see the changes in Guangzhou over the years.
Accompanied by Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Gao, Mr. Li and others, the group took a car to the Guangzhou CBD, which has been initially formed, and even to Zhujiang New Town, one of the three largest CBDs in the country.
Zhujiang New Town is the new central axis of Guangzhou, and the new development of Guangzhou is all developed around it.
Historically, Guangzhou began to develop here after the 1990s.
However, now because of the emergence of Yang Ming, it was developed ten years ahead of schedule in the 1980s. Among them, the first and second phases of Zhujiang New Town have been built.
In addition to dozens of Grade A office buildings over 100 meters high, the surrounding river views, parks and other supporting facilities have been built.
Now the old man and others, accompanied by Yang Ming and others, came here and looked up, and found that so many high-rise buildings may not feel anything.
But what was this place ten years ago?
Except for tracts of vegetable fields and farmland, there is basically no modern appearance here.
However, now it has become the headquarters office center of foreign-funded, Hong Kong-funded, and major Guangdong-based enterprises.
Among them, the Yangcheng Futures Exchange is also here.
One of the buildings here is the Yangcheng Futures Exchange.
You can see it from the billboards on these office buildings now.
Huifeng (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
Hengtie (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
Overseas Trust (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
Zhada (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
Henglong (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
Dongya (Yangcheng) Bank Building.
. . .
Z Country Yangcheng Futures Exchange Building.
Among them, the Yangcheng Futures Exchange is now one of the fastest-growing futures exchanges in China and even in Asia, including gold futures trading, silver futures trading, other precious metal futures trading, rare metal futures trading, bulk commodity futures trading, crude oil futures trading, etc.
Make Yangcheng the country's, or even the only, futures exchange.
Historically, domestic futures exchanges were relatively scattered, and in addition to Shanghai, they were scattered in many different cities. However, now all of these have been taken by Yangcheng.
Since 1990, after the Yangcheng Futures Exchange was officially listed, it imitated the trading system of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, and then made some appropriate changes.
Now the Yangcheng Futures Exchange is mainly concentrated with domestic futures investors, and there are also some investors from Hong Kong.
However, in general, it is basically domestic investors, and investors from Europe, America, and Japan have not yet entered.
Accompanied by Yang Ming, Xie Lao and others, the old man came to the Yangcheng Futures Exchange.
Now the main leaders of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange, they don’t know that the old man’s first stop in Yangcheng is here.
Moreover, many products of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange are traded 24 hours a day, following the prices of global goods. Especially gold, it is the same as London gold.
When the leaders of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange came to greet the old man, they knew that the old man was really here.
At the beginning, the country only established futures exchanges for Shencheng and Pengcheng respectively.
However, Yangcheng originally had the Yangcheng Stock Exchange, the Southern Stock Exchange, and even the Asian Stock Exchange. However, after Shencheng and Pengcheng became the only legal stock exchanges, the Yangcheng Stock Exchange was forced to cancel. However, Yangcheng soon got the futures exchange, and these original stock exchanges became futures exchanges.
Of course, Guangdong Province and Yangcheng learned that this was also supported by Sir Yang.
Including inviting relevant personnel from Yangcheng to Hong Kong to inspect Hong Kong futures trading, and sending people to Hong Kong to receive relevant training. Later, it was supported to go to the London Futures Exchange and the Chicago Futures Exchange for inspection.
These were all supported by Yang Ming and the Empire Group.
Most importantly, when Pengcheng and Shencheng were sure to get the stock exchange, and Yangcheng might get nothing, Yang Ming made plans behind the scenes, allowing Yangcheng to cry miserably to the whole country, and finally, Yangcheng got this stepping stone with high gold content.
At the beginning, Guangdong Province and Yangcheng felt that they must get the stock exchange, that is, to replace the Pengcheng Stock Exchange, but the above meant to give it to Pengcheng, so Yangcheng had no chance, and at the beginning did not see or notice the huge energy brought by the futures exchange.
Now, after more than a year of development, the Yangcheng Futures Exchange has played a very important role for the whole country, even Guangdong Province and Yangcheng.
In addition to the huge daily trading volume, it brings a lot of legal tax revenue and promotes the development of domestic futures trading.
Now the old man came over, and the Yangcheng Futures Exchange introduced the development of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange to the old man while giving him a break, while introducing the huge trading volume here every hour, every minute and every second.
"Old man, we all use computer network transactions here, which is a very advanced trading method now."
Historically, computers in Europe and the United States developed very quickly, especially the stock exchanges in the United States and the London Stock Exchange, but now because of Yang Ming, it has promoted the development of the global Internet in advance, and all walks of life are also developing rapidly.
Now many companies basically use computers.
Now the old man and others can see that the trading hall of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange has a huge trading platform, and there may be thousands of traders working at the same time.
Because futures exchanges are different from stock exchanges.
Stock exchanges are basically operated during the day, but futures exchanges are operated 24 hours a day, including international gold prices, international silver prices, international crude oil prices, international bulk commodity prices, etc., which are constantly changing, and Yangcheng Futures Exchange is also changing with international prices.
However, after developing to a certain extent, Yangcheng Futures Exchange will actually affect the prices of related international futures transactions.
And this can also regulate the prices of domestic and even international goods.
Historically, the country did not pay much attention to this aspect until later.
However, now because of Yang Ming and the Empire Group, as well as the efforts of Yangcheng, it is an unexpected surprise, and it has promoted the development of domestic futures in advance.
Futures also involve physical objects.
As the center of Guangdong Province and even the South China region, Yangcheng promotes the emergence of physical objects, so there are also a large number of physical transactions in Yangcheng.
Including physical gold.
Now Yangcheng has also become the gold trading center of Guangdong Province and even the whole country.
The gold price here is the cheapest in the country, but it also has the largest trading volume, which has attracted major gold traders from all over the country, and even gold traders from overseas and Hong Kong.
The emergence of these physical gold has also promoted the development of gold jewelry.
The old man and others visited the Yangcheng Futures Exchange. The leader next to him introduced it and then took the old man to the nearby physical gold trading.
At first, the old man didn't know what it was.
When he learned that there were all kinds of gold transactions here.
"Old man, this is all gold. Some of this gold is produced domestically and some is produced abroad."
"Why are there so many people?" The old man asked curiously.
"Old man, this is where many gold jewelry owners and wholesalers from South China and even the whole country are concentrated. Many people come from other places to get goods."
There are also Zhou Dafu Jewelry, Xie Liyuan Jewelry, Yinghuang Jewelry, etc. from Hong Kong. Because of the Yangcheng gold futures trading under the Yangcheng Futures Exchange, the current physical gold trading has been generated.
Of course, these are all spontaneously formed, and they are formed by themselves under the leadership of the Yangcheng Futures Exchange.
Each link here can bring wealth, and can also bring a lot of tax revenue to Guangdong Province, Yangcheng, and even the country, and also bring a large number of jobs.
"This is actually gold trading, just like a vegetable market?"
"Old man, it is indeed so. According to the current development of Yangcheng Futures Exchange and Yangcheng Gold Futures, Yangcheng is very likely to become the world's second largest or even the largest gold trading center in the future."
Why not Hong Kong?
The main reason is that Hong Kong has a small population, while Yangcheng concentrates the trading volume of more than one billion people in the country, which is naturally different.
As for London and New York, although they concentrate the world, according to the current gold physical transactions brought by Yangcheng Futures Exchange and Yangcheng Gold Futures Trading, it can indeed be said that the scale is getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing this, the old man was also very excited.
There can be many rich people, millionaires, tens of millions of rich people, and even billionaires here, and it can also bring a lot of employment, promote the development of gold-related industrial chains, and bring a lot of tax revenue to the country and the local area.
Isn't this what he wants to see?
And this is just the ability and changes brought by the gold futures exchange.
In addition, there are some silver futures transactions in Yangcheng, which may be inferior to gold, but the scale of silver futures transactions is not small. There are also various rare metal transactions and precious metal transactions. These may be inferior to gold, but so many of them are concentrated together, and the energy is also very large.
The most important thing is that after this place is concentrated, people from all over the country will flow into this area, which will drive Zhujiang New Town and even Yangcheng.
As for crude oil futures transactions, it is also very important. However, Yangcheng's crude oil is in Huicheng, which is mainly related to the Empire Group's large-scale investment in crude oil storage in Huicheng.
The old man only spent most of the day to see the Yangcheng Futures Exchange and related physical transactions in Zhujiang New Town, which made the old man see that the development of Yangcheng has long been different.
This Yangcheng has developed very fast in the past ten years, and the Yangcheng Futures Exchange has developed even faster in more than a year.
If he is given another ten years here, he really can't believe how this investment will be in the future?
In addition to here.
Accompanied by Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu, Yang Ming and others, the old man went to see many related companies, and the old man was very satisfied.
It was past one in the afternoon.
The old man was tired after walking around for so long.
Let's take a bus back to Zhudao Hotel first.
Originally, according to the idea of Mr. Xie and others, they should arrange for Mr. Yang and others to stay in Zhudao, so that Mr. Yang and the old man can meet. However, Yang Ming now lives in the Oriental Mandarin Hotel.
Now Yang Ming and others accompany the old man to have lunch in Zhudao.
In the afternoon, Yang Ming thought the old man was going to rest, after all, he is now 88 years old, nearly 90 years old.
Young people may be very tired after walking around for so long.
However, the old man seemed very excited.
At Mr. Xie, Mr. Zhu and others went back to rest first, and Yang Ming stayed.
"Yangcheng has developed very well, and Yangcheng has not disappointed me." The old man said.
Of course, all this is also closely related to the support of Yang Ming and others.
Yang Ming is very clear that the old man's vision is also very important.
Think about the disintegrated Su Lian and that Gore, and you can see that the old man is several levels higher than Gore and others.
Yang Ming and the old man took a circle around the lake of Zhudao.
The old man had to rest for an hour.
There are also guest rooms for Yang Ming, He Chaoxun and others to rest.
Yang Ming was in the guest room, although he was a little tired, but he did not sit down to rest.
It was more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang Ming was called over by Mr. Shen sent by the old man.
"Mr. Yang, I heard that the Yangcheng horse racing is going to start today, why don't we go and have a look?"
Yangming horse racing was first proposed by Mr. Xia, the president of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, but Yang Ming was the traction in the middle. Although the Empire Group also has shares, Yang Ming gave those shares to Yangcheng.
After these years of development, Yangcheng horse racing has developed very well and has long been a business card of Yangcheng. In addition to regular horse racing, Yangcheng horse racing not only generates tickets and drives related tourism, accommodation, and catering industries, but also plays a very important role.
The most important thing is the income brought by legal betting.
In addition to related dividends, there are also a lot of taxes, which are all handed over to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and the country above.
At that time, in addition to Yangcheng, many cities followed suit to engage in horse racing, but basically many places went bankrupt, which was a loss and bankruptcy. For example, Yanjing Horse Racing did not last long and went bankrupt.
On the contrary, Yangcheng horse racing is still developing well now, with profits increasing every year. Guangdong Province and Yangcheng are also very concerned about this horse racing in Tianhe.
The racecourse in Tianhe is next to Zhujiang New Town.
According to the time.
Today is Saturday, and there will be Yangcheng horse racing in the afternoon and evening.
However, now that Yang Ming and others have come, the Yangcheng horse racing has already started.
There are nearly 100,000 spectators in the Yangcheng horse racing.
Yang Ming and others came to the VIP room from the back door.
At this time, the leaders of Yangcheng Horse Racing learned that the old man was coming and had made relevant preparations.
When they came to the VIP room, they could see 100,000 spectators cheering outside from the window.
In addition to locals in Yangcheng and cities in the Pearl River Delta, these spectators also came from China, and even many foreign bosses who came to Hong Kong to invest, etc. They all liked this place very much.
Maybe now, apart from the two racecourses in Hong Kong, the most popular one is the Yangcheng Racecourse.
Every race was full, so many people could not buy tickets to come in, but they could listen to it through TV or radio.
The old man picked up the telescope and saw clearly that the knights outside were running wildly.
