Chapter 391 Shekou Industrial Zone!

All the way, Yang Ming looked out the window.

In addition to the smoke and dust on the road outside, he felt more like a booming development.

At this time, some foreign capital had already entered Pengcheng.

When he arrived at the Shekou Industrial Zone more than 20 kilometers away, Yang Ming felt that it was even busier here.

Yang Ming got off the car.

Yuan Geng and others took Yang Ming to have a look inside the industrial zone.

There are already some companies in the industrial zone now, but not many.

Many people couldn't believe that the most obvious place in the center of the industrial zone was actually a large Taoist temple.

"Old Yuan, what is this?"

"Sir Yang, there were people smuggling into Hong Kong last year. They might have drowned while smuggling from the sea. Their bodies were pushed to the shore. Our staff here were afraid, so they set up a Taoist temple to perform rituals."

Died from smuggling?

There were indeed smuggling last year.

Historically, there was also a large wave of smuggling in 1979.

After Yang Ming and the old gentleman, Governor Mai Lihao discussed, it was equivalent to quietly giving those smugglers a way out. Those who wanted to smuggle from the mainland to Hong Kong were no longer hunted.

In other words, there are still many people who enter Hong Kong from Pengcheng in a safer way.

As for this year, Yuan Geng and others are very curious.

Last year, many bodies of adults and children were pushed to the sea from time to time, and more than a dozen bodies might be handled a day.

After this year, it is rarely seen again.

The big temple has not been dealt with yet, so it has been left here.

Yang Ming looked at this temple and then at the opposite side.

He knew that the opposite side was Yuen Long in Hong Kong.

In the past few decades, I don’t know how many people wanted to smuggle to Hong Kong by sea and were eventually buried at sea.

Seeing this, Yang Ming sighed in his heart. He hoped that after Pengcheng developed as soon as possible, this situation would be completely changed.

Yuan Geng was very enthusiastic about Yang Ming and others, and introduced his plans from time to time, including building a port here in the Shekou Industrial Zone, which was later the famous Shekou Port in Pengcheng.

There is no real port yet because there is no money.

"Sir Yang, after our Shekou Port is built, we can carry goods to Hong Kong and people to Hong Kong in the future, which is very convenient."

It takes a lot of money to build such a port.

In addition, we have to continue to flatten the surrounding mountains.

Historically, this place was called Shekou Industrial Zone because this peninsula really looks like Shekou.

But later, like the industrial zone, it kept bulldozing and filling the sea.

Instead, it looked less and less like Shekou.

This place is far away from the opposite Hong Kong, which is why those who smuggled from here and swam over would be exhausted or encounter waves and other situations, leading to their death in the sea.

Later, by flattening the mountains, all the extra soil was reclaimed and built, and it was closer to Yuen Long in Hong Kong.

Historically, Houhai and even Qianhai, which were formed later, were basically created by land reclamation.

However, it is not like this now. It is still a sea, even a mudflat.

All these things require money.

The higher-ups can't give money.

So for Yuan Geng, the only thing he can get is the land here.

Historically, Yuan Geng also borrowed 1.5 billion yuan in more than two years through various methods, and it is said that he also borrowed money from Hong Kong tycoons such as Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong.

However, in history, Li Jiacheng once wanted to jointly develop Shekou Port with Yuan Geng, but was eventually rejected by Yuan Geng, so that Shekou Port was preserved by Shekou Industrial Zone.

Another Yantian Port in Pengcheng was invested by Li Jiacheng instead.

In this regard, Yuan Geng felt that it was right in his early years, because there was no need to cooperate completely with capital.

In his later years, Yuan Geng reflected that his approach at the time was wrong, because at that time, every minute was money, and he could cooperate with capital such as Li Jiacheng to develop Shekou Industrial Zone faster, so that Shekou Industrial Zone would develop better.

As for what Yuan Geng is thinking now, Yang Ming doesn't know.

However, if the other party wants to borrow money like that, it is impossible.

Yuan Geng was very enthusiastic. He knew that the Empire Group was the richest Chinese capital in Hong Kong. In addition, it was also the foreign capital with the most enterprises. In other words, as long as they cooperated with the Empire Group, there would be no problem with funds and the introduction of industry, and the company would have no problem.

Yuan Geng knew that Mr. Yang was very busy on this inspection.

Moreover, he was just passing through Pengcheng.

He went to one side with Mr. Yang and said, "Sir Yang, I want to cooperate with your Empire Group."

Yang Ming was very curious. Others called him Mr. Yang, but Yuan Geng called him Sir Yang.

It was enough to show that Yuan Geng was indeed different from others.

The other party was not an old antique. If he was, he would not be able to sit in this position. In fact, he might be more open-minded than Mr. Shen.

"Mr. Yuan, how do you want to cooperate?"

"We will jointly develop. We will provide land in Shekou Industrial Zone, and your Empire Group will provide money, technology, management, company, etc."

At this point, Yang Ming understood.

That is to say, what Mr. Yuan can provide is this piece of 2.14 square kilometers of land.

Historically, thirty or forty years later, this piece of land should also be the most valuable land in Pengcheng.

One square meter here is more than 100,000 RMB, because the wealth created here far exceeds that here.

But how much is it worth now.

I'm afraid Yuan Geng himself doesn't know.

Because land without development is worthless.

However, Imperial Group is different.

The Imperial Group has a large amount of funds, advanced technology, advanced management, and even charisma, etc. As long as cooperation and joint development are introduced, the Shekou Industrial Zone will definitely be the best place for development in the country.

Historically, this is also the earliest development zone in the country.

Yang Ming was very curious. Although Yuan Geng borrowed a lot of funds from wealthy Chinese investors in Xiangjiang in history, he did not agree to cooperate with Chinese investors like Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong.

On the contrary, Xie Guomin of Chint Group from Siam was the first to invest in Pengcheng, and later became one of the major shareholders of Pingnan Bank.

In other words, Xie Guomin and Shekou Industrial Zone are cooperating.

"Sir Yang, we can set up a joint venture to cooperate."

Yuan Geng said again.

Yang Ming said: "Mr. Yuan, of course there is no problem in cooperation. This time we come back to inspect and then invest. However, I can't make the decision on how to invest. Well, I will leave some members of the inspection team and you. Talk, if you can convince them, then in two months, the Imperial Group and I will invest in the Shekou Industrial Zone.”

Yang Ming knew that things that are too easy to obtain are often not cherished.

So are investments like these.

Don't think that because Yang Ming has money, he can invest at will.

In fact, as a large company or group, every penny must be accounted for.

Yuan Geng was a little disappointed when he heard that, but he felt relieved when he thought that Mr. Yang could keep the members of the inspection team here.
