Reborn Tycoon Rise

51% is owned by the state. This is also the current cooperation plan that allows foreign investors to hold commercial properties in the mainland.

"Mr. Xu is really optimistic about the future of the Shanghai Stock Exchange!" Huang Daohan said with a smile. The whole plan seems to be beneficial to him. After all, he can obtain 51% of the shares of a new commercial street without spending any money. At the same time, Taxes can also be obtained, and the original residents will definitely get new housing and additional compensation. The only thing to note is that the new commercial street cannot be too close to the original bustling area, otherwise it will be bad if business is robbed.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "I am optimistic about the development prospects of the mainland. As the central city of the mainland's economy, Shanghai is the central city of the economy. I believe that in the future, the economy of Shanghai will not be lower than that of Xiangjiang."

"Thank you very much for your kind words, Mr. Xu!" Huang Daohan didn't take it seriously. After all, Shanghai is still far behind compared to Xiangjiang.

After a moment of pause, Huang Daohan said again: "Mr. Xu, according to the current law, even if this commercial street is established, it must be operated by us. After all, foreign capital is not allowed to enter the retail field!"

Xu Zhidao: "Secretary Huang, in fact, my definition of this commercial street is not the same as Nanjing East Road. The reason why I thought of this project is because I found that although there are many places to play in Shanghai, but for For Western tourists, many things involve the culture of our Chinese nation, and they simply don’t understand the truth.

But since these people have come to Shanghai, we naturally need them to consume, so as to stimulate the economy and increase the country’s foreign exchange reserves. That’s why I came up with the idea of ​​building a pedestrian street. According to my design, this street has mainly It mainly operates bars, billiards, indoor sports, etc., and also has a large number of hotels and entertainment facilities, so that it can earn a lot of foreign exchange from Westerners. "

"So that's it. Mr. Xu's idea is really good." Huang Daohan thought about it and agreed. If this newly built commercial street does not follow the internal retail route, but targets overseas tourists and businessmen, it will probably Form a new major foreign exchange earner.

Xu Zhi added: "However, we have another request. If the law allows wholly foreign-owned properties to be held in the future, then we also hope that all properties can be distributed according to the share ratio."

By the end of the 1980s, foreign capital could be solely owned. Naturally, many of the shops on this street would need to be run by themselves. Joint ventures would always be inconvenient. More importantly, property rights must be clearly separated in this era. Otherwise, in the future, these huge Profits can cause a lot of trouble.

"I need to hold another meeting to discuss this." Huang Daohan replied that the future laws will be discussed later, not to mention that the current business plan may not be passed at the municipal committee meeting. Even if it is passed, there will be a lot of detailed issues that need to be discussed later.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for the news from the city government."

"No problem, I will hold a municipal committee meeting tomorrow morning to discuss this matter." Huang Daohan nodded.

Xu Zhi said: "No matter whether this project can be approved or not, there will be no changes in the Pujiang Bridge, so I hope the municipal government can establish a project team as soon as possible to connect with our engineers."

"Of course this is not a problem." Huang Daohan immediately turned to Wang Weide beside him and said: "You call the Transportation Bureau immediately and ask Director Shen to come."

"Yes." Wang Weide immediately agreed, stood up and left.

Xu Zhi took a sip of tea and continued: "Secretary Huang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you, but it is not a commercial investment."

Huang Daohan asked: "What's the matter? Mr. Xu, please tell me."

Xu Zhi said: "Secretary Huang, during the past few days in Shanghai, I have been to the Suzhou River and found that the water pollution there has become very serious and has to be treated. I have an idea that maybe we can Did it help?"

"What method does Mr. Xu have?" Huang Daohan asked. He did not believe that the other party would invest in cleaning up the entire Suzhou River.

As early as the 1960s, the pollution of the Suzhou River had attracted the attention of the government. Tens of thousands of people were mobilized to "declare war on the Suzhou River," but the effect was not good.

In the 1970s, Shanghai built two pipelines to carry a large amount of sewage directly to the Yangtze River estuary. However, two large pollution belts were formed in the ocean, which can be clearly seen from airplanes. A large number of docks were surrounded by sewage layers, causing severe pollution. It affected the circulation of goods in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and was later forced to cancel the plan.

According to general international rules, pollution will occur when the per capita GDP of a region reaches US$4,000. However, Shanghai's per capita GDP is only US$1,500 and is already surrounded by pollution. This is also a pain for Secretary Huang Daohan.

"Have Secretary Huang heard of the World Bank?" Xu Zhi asked.

Huang Daohan nodded and said, "I've heard of it."

Xu Zhidao: "There is a project under the World Bank that specifically provides low-interest loans to developing countries. Secretary Huang can go and find out. Shanghai can completely repair the pollution of the Suzhou River through World Bank loans."

This kind of large-scale infrastructure project cannot take the normal commercial bank loan route. Otherwise, the huge interest rate will overwhelm the borrower. Moreover, what commercial banks need to see is the future return of the project. What economic benefits will this kind of decontamination project have? If there are none, it is naturally impossible to get a loan.

However, some banks from international organizations will participate in this kind of thing, and the interest rates are low. However, under normal circumstances, there will be some political requirements, but Xu Zhi cannot control this kind of thing.

In the original history, in a few years, the Shanghai Municipality would also seek loans from the World Bank to deal with the pollution of the Suzhou River. Speaking out now has no practical benefits, but it is still a personal favor, not to mention it can Helping the millions of residents near the Suzhou River can be considered a good deed!

"Oh, there is such a thing. I will arrange for someone to go find out about it immediately. Thank you Mr. Xu for telling me about it." Huang Daohan immediately wrote it down in his mind.

Xu Zhi also stood up and said: "In that case, I will take my leave now. Regarding the Pujiang Bridge and pedestrian street projects, we will continue to discuss it in detail in the future."

"Okay, then I'll see Mr. Xu off." Huang Daohan nodded and said.

"Thank you!" Huang Daohan walked to the door, and Xu Zhi soon left the city government building with several of his subordinates.

The next day, several engineers from Hutchison Whampoa arrived in Shanghai. After complying with Xu Zhi's several requests, they joined hands with some experts from the Shanghai Transportation Bureau to inspect the terrain on both sides of the Huangpu River, with the intention of finding ways to build a bridge. The best location.

The Shanghai Municipal Government also held a municipal committee meeting to discuss the "Pedestrian Street Plan" proposed by Xu Zhi. However, I heard that the controversy was quite controversial and no unanimous conclusion was reached that morning.

For Xu Zhi, such a large investment naturally does not need to be so urgent. Although the municipal committee meeting did not agree, it did not reject it, indicating that there is still hope. Moreover, even if the project is approved, all-round negotiations on the address, investment scale, construction bidding, etc. will need to be carried out later, and these are naturally the responsibility of its elites.

He had already spent a lot of time in Shanghai. He took a plane to Shenhai City with his family and subordinates. After a brief exchange with local officials, he returned to Xiangjiang from Luohu Port.
