Chapter 408 The Old Man Strongly Supports the Empire Group's Investment in China

Chapter 408 The old gentleman strongly supports the Imperial Group’s domestic investment!

The old gentleman struck the matchbox with a match and lit the cigarette.

Standing by the window, I took a few puffs.

I thought Mr. Yang would come over soon.

The old gentleman put out the cigarette again and opened the window of the office to let in the wind from outside.

After a while.

There was a knock at the door.

Mr. Shen opened the door.

"Old sir, Mr. Yang is here."

When Yang Ming came in, he had already seen the old gentleman.

The old gentleman also met Yang Ming.

Yang Ming feels that there haven't been many changes in the old gentleman's office now.

"Mr. Yang, please sit down."

Mr. Yang, who is not in a wheelchair, looks much taller to the old man.

When Yang Ming sat down, Mr. Shen went out.

"Mr. Yang, how about those bodyguards?"

Of course he was talking about sending the six bodyguards.

"Old sir, Zhang Guohua and the others are very good. They are very professional. I feel relieved with them here."

Yang Ming almost had an accident in London last year, and the old man was indeed worried for a long time.

He knows Mr. Yang and knows that Mr. Yang is critical to his introduction of foreign investment.

If something had happened to Mr. Yang at that time, his plan to introduce foreign investment would have been greatly affected.

He felt that Mr. Yang was very lucky, and his luck was also very good. Mr. Yang was fine in the end.

"You have a different status now. Some people may want your life."

said the old gentleman.

Mr. Yang nodded.

He understands.

No matter in Xiangjiang or anywhere, it is really possible that someone wants his life.

This time, the old gentleman called Yang Ming over.

Actually, let’s talk about investment.

This afternoon, the old gentleman had met with Meris and others alone.

He also knows how these groups plan to invest in the mainland.

"Mr. Yang, I fully support your company's investment, including land, policies, taxes, etc., we are very supportive."

"Thank you, old gentleman."

"We should be the ones thanking you. You also sent so many people back to the mainland to inspect, and you know the situation in the mainland very well. You did it with good intentions. You are capital, you have to invest, and of course you have to make money, otherwise, like this Meaningless."

If we just bring in foreign capital, we will be left to domestic slaughter.

In the old gentleman's opinion, this is not sustainable, and he cannot take that road.

When foreign capital is introduced, the foreign capital must make money, and they must also receive tax revenue. This will provide employment for a large number of local ordinary people and allow ordinary people to gradually become rich. This is a virtuous cycle.

If foreign capital is introduced now, the slaughter will begin.

Then it is impossible for the next batch of foreign capital to dare to come in.

"Old sir, regarding investment, I have been discussing with the people below for a long time. Among them, basic investment is the most important. The first is electricity. If there is not enough electricity, it will be of no use if a large number of foreign-invested factories come in, because foreign-invested factories Electricity is needed to drive machines, and some foreign investors work during the day and night, so they need electricity all the time, so the electricity issue must be solved first.”

The old gentleman nodded.

A world without electricity cannot develop at all.

At this point, the old man feels that domestic electricity may be fifty or even a hundred years behind compared to that in Japan.

Because most small cities, ordinary towns, and even rural areas in China do not have electricity. On the contrary, in Japan, there is already 100% sufficient electricity.

"I am going to let Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company invest in thermal power stations in Pengcheng, Guancheng, Huicheng, Yangcheng, Fucheng and other places, and even Shencheng and Yanjing. On the one hand, enough electricity can be provided to factories; on the other hand, electricity It can provide electricity for residents and even farmers.”

The old gentleman nodded again.

For electricity, he knew it was too important.

He also strongly agrees with Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company's investment in this area.

Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has no technical problems with the use of thermal power. In addition to coal power, there is also oil power, which uses coal or oil to generate electricity.

At this point, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company has accumulated technology in this area in Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming feels that domestic hydropower resources are very abundant. For example, his hometown Longchuan Hydropower has developed well. Apart from his hometown, domestic hydropower resources are too abundant.

Compared with coal power, oil power, and hydropower, it is cleaner.

In addition to these, Yang Ming also proposed.

"Sir, compared to coal power and oil power, there is a more energy-intensive way of generating electricity."

"Mr. Yang, what are you talking about?"

"nuclear power."

nuclear power?

The old gentleman was a little surprised.

In fact, there are already nuclear power plants abroad.

Countries such as Sulian, F, and even M have nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

However, historically, in the 1980s, a nuclear leak occurred at the Sulian Nuclear Power Plant in Chernobyl, causing the world to be somewhat afraid of nuclear power plants.

Even then, Yang Ming knew that development in this area would still be necessary in the future, because compared to coal power generation, nuclear power plants do produce cleaner electricity.

If we do not vigorously develop clean energy, there will still be a lot of smog in the entire north.

"Yes. It's a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power plants generate electricity more cleanly. Coal and oil power generation will cause air pollution. In long-term and serious cases, it will endanger the lives and lives of residents. Of course, there is no possibility of large-scale development of nuclear power plants in China now. In the early stage, it still depends on coal-fired power for development, and then vigorously develop hydropower. When the country develops to a certain level, nuclear power technology will also come up, and it will be safer, and then nuclear power will gradually replace coal-fired power."

The old man nodded.

Yang Ming continued: "Old man, my idea is to build a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay, Pengcheng, which can generate a lot of electricity. Part of it can be imported into Guangdong Province for local use, and part of it can be imported into Hong Kong for use."

In fact, as of now, Hong Kong's electricity is far from enough.

Especially when the Iran-Iraq War broke out in history, a lot of Hong Kong's electricity was generated by oil, and most of Hong Kong's oil came from the Gulf. However, after the Gulf War, the oil there could not be imported, and the global oil price soared, and Hong Kong began to lack electricity.

Therefore, historically, the Kadoorie family and the mainland jointly invested, introduced the nuclear power plant technology of country F, established a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay, and then 80% of the electricity was imported into Hong Kong, and 20% of the electricity was imported into Guangdong Province, which gradually met the electricity demand of Hong Kong.

At this time, the Kadoorie family had not mentioned the development of a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay to the old man.

Now that Yang Ming brought it up first, it was different.

However, the Kadoorie family was able to visit the old man last year. Obviously, the Kadoorie family also wanted to invest in electricity in the mainland and expand the scale and market of China Power.

The old man nodded again.

This was first proposed by Yang Ming, and he felt that everything Mr. Yang proposed was very reasonable.

As for whether it is suitable to build a nuclear power plant?

In fact, he only needs to ask relevant professionals.

"In addition to electricity, in my opinion, it is very important to build roads to connect finances. For example, the first time I went back to my hometown, it was only more than 200 kilometers, and it took two days to get back. This time I went back to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, it was more than 100 kilometers, and it took most of the day to get to Yangcheng. If an expressway is built, it should take less than three hours to get from Xiangjiang to my hometown Longchuan, and it will take about two hours to get from Xiangjiang to Yangcheng."

Expressway?

The old man was very curious about this.

He knew that what Mr. Yang said just now about the connection of roads and finances was really good.

For example, if it weren't for the large number of deep-water ports in Xiangjiang, how could it have developed?

Even if there are deep-water ports in China, if the roads in other places are not perfect, how can the goods be transported to the deep-water ports and finally to all parts of the world?

"I plan to let Empire Group invest in two expressways, or highways for short. On highways, you don't need to stop when going from one place to another. The speed on highways is maintained at 100 to 120 kilometers per hour, which greatly speeds up the traffic efficiency between the two places."

Historically, the earliest highway appeared in Country D.

D's economy was very developed during World War I.

In China, the earliest highway in history appeared in 1988.

The first highway in China at that time was called Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway. It was born in Shanghai. Construction started in December 1984 and was completed and opened to traffic in October 1988. The Shanghai-Jiaxing Expressway is 18.5 kilometers long.

It was only 1979, and Yang Ming proposed it many years earlier.

The old man also understood the expressway that Yang Ming said, that is, the highway.

When he visited Japan and even other countries overseas, he knew very well that highways, trains, airlines, etc. were too important.

. . .

Yang Ming and the old man chatted until late at night.

The more Yang Ming talked, the more excited he became. The more the old man listened, the more excited he became.

These are all investment plans, but if both parties agree, they can start in the second half of the year.

According to what Yang Ming said about infrastructure, whether it is power stations or highways, they are all very important in the old man's opinion.

The third chapter will be updated soon!
