Chapter 24 Mr. Guo comes to Beijing

In July 1994, two things happened that made Fang Mingyuan pay even more attention to them.

On the 23rd, the State Council issued the "Decision on Deepening the Reform of the Urban Housing System", which clarified the basic content of the reform of the urban housing system, including changing the method of distributing housing benefits in kind to a monetary wage distribution method based on distribution according to work.

Establishing a housing provident fund system, etc. This means that China's decades-old welfare housing allocation system has officially transformed into a commercial housing system, and has kicked off the rapid development of China's real estate industry.

On the 29th, China United Communications Co., Ltd. was officially established. This represents the emergence of the only comprehensive telecommunications operating enterprise in China that can provide comprehensive basic telecommunications services. And with the emergence of China Unicom, China Mobile, China Telecom and other major telecommunications companies in the telecommunications industry

Giant predators will also appear one after another in the next few years to fully carve up China's telecommunications market.

The series of layouts that Fang Mingyuan had made before now are about to really start.

On August 6, 1994, Mr. Kwok, the head of the Hong Kong Kwok Shipping Group Company, officially came to Beijing and was cordially received by party and state leaders.

At this meeting, Mr. Guo formally proposed to the Chinese government that, taking into account the current rapid development of urban construction needs in the capital, and in order to better facilitate transportation between the urban area and the suburbs, he was willing to fund and help the capital government build a road leading to Ji County.

, which later became the above-ground rail transit line in Jeju District. The entire project did not require the capital government to invest a penny, but only required the land within one kilometer on both sides of the rail transit line to be developed by Guo's Shipping Group Company.

This proposal was strongly approved by the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government once it was proposed by Mr. Guo.

Ji County in 1994 was just a suburban county relatively close to the capital. If it weren't for the fact that it happened to be located on the transportation line between Tianjin City and the capital, its development speed would not be as fast as those suburban counties to the north of the capital.

Not much better. It is precisely because Ji County’s economic strength is one of the best outside the eight districts of the city, and it is precisely because Ji County is located at the easternmost end of the extension line of Chang’an Street in the capital and is the east gate of the capital, so this is the capital city committee

In addition to the eight districts of the city, the municipal government focuses on economic development.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first! Although there are two main traffic lines connecting Ji County and Beijing, most of the roads are only about ten meters wide, mostly concrete structures, and the traffic capacity is quite poor. Moreover, pedestrians on the road,

The mixed traffic of bicycles, horse-drawn carriages, tractors, and cars cannot bear the increasing traffic volume, which seriously restricts the economic development of the eastern region of Beijing. The municipal party committee and government have long thought about building a highway between Ji County and the urban area of ​​Beijing.

Highways are used to facilitate the exchange of people and goods between two places.

Although Mr. Guo only proposed to build an above-ground rail transit line, after its completion, it will only facilitate the personnel exchanges between Ji County and the capital. However, for the financially strapped Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, it will be a timely help.

.

On August 10, at a meeting between Mr. Guo and the leaders of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the Chairman of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed whether the Guo Shipping Group Company could invest in building a 15-kilometer expressway to connect Ji County and Beijing.

Connected. To this end, the municipal party committee and government agreed to hand over the land within 500 meters on both sides of the highway to Guo's Shipping Group Company for development.

On August 14, Mr. Guo formally replied to the leaders of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government that he was willing to take over the project of building the Jingji Expressway. He also proposed that the Jingji Expressway and the Jingji Overground Rail Transit Line be constructed together.

.

At this time, Fang Mingyuan had opened the renovated courtyard. After Mr. Guo, Yu Qiuxia and his party arrived in Beijing, they declined the government department's proposal and did not stay in the State Guesthouse. Instead, they lived in Fang Mingyuan's courtyard. So these

Oh my god, there are a lot of strangers around the courtyard.

"Mingyuan, are you so sure that the government will agree to this proposal?" Mr. Guo stroked his beard and said with a smile. Although this plan had been planned as early as winter, Fang Mingyuan had already told him the whole plan. Please ask Mr. Guo to speak for you.

The Fang family came forward to take over this project. In fact, it was Fang Mingyuan who actually funded it. However, Mr. Guo must participate after all considerations. If the government agrees to this proposal, then it will be up to the Guo family and Fang Mingyuan.

The two families jointly formed a company to complete this project. The Fang family invested 70% and the Guo family invested 30%.

Fang Mingyuan smiled. Of course he would not say that in his previous life, the capital built these two transportation lines between Ji County and the urban area to meet the needs of the exchange of goods and people between the urban area and Ji County. "Grandpa Guo

, they will definitely agree. Compared with the land on both sides of the road, in their opinion, the fees we paid are more valuable! Of course, this does not mean that they do not have a long-term vision, but that the Chinese officialdom

Determined by the system.”

"Huh? How do you say this?" Mr. Guo asked with interest.

"Grandpa Guo, officials in China are different from officials in Hong Kong and abroad. Their official positions largely come from superior leaders, rather than from the people in the jurisdiction. Moreover, although the government has regulations on the term of office of officials,

They stipulate that the maximum term of office shall not exceed the number of years, but they do not stipulate how long an official must serve in a certain position before he can be promoted. In this way, officials are given an opportunity, that is, as long as they are promoted by their superiors

If you are appreciated, you can be promoted quickly. Even if you cannot improve the level, you can be promoted from a remote place to a prosperous place, and you can be promoted from a clear water yamen to a rich yamen. And if you want to be appreciated by your superiors, you have to look at

Political achievements! Therefore, many officials in China only consider how much political achievements the launch of new projects can bring them. As for the long-term troubles or adverse consequences of the launch of these projects, that is not something they need to consider.

." Fang Mingyuan sighed softly.

Officials of the municipal party committee and government must have thought that once these two traffic lines are completed, the land on both sides of the road will definitely increase in value rapidly. Then Guo's Shipping Group Company, which owns the right to use and develop it, will obtain

Extremely considerable profits. However, these profits will not be visible until five or ten years later. Naturally, they are unwilling to give up the immediate political achievements that are easily available for such distant benefits.

Mr. Guo smiled and nodded repeatedly, and Yu Qiuxia, who was sitting next to him, also showed a smile of relief. You know, at the beginning of the Guo family, everyone had great differences on whether the Guo family should participate in this project. Except for Mr. Guo and

Outside of Qiuxia, everyone believes that the Guo family should focus on the development of the shipping industry and should not participate in other industries. The Guo family stepped forward to win this project for the Fang family. The Fang family benefited, and Guo family

It is enough to get the name of the family. Moreover, these people still believe that firstly, the Chinese government is unlikely to agree to this proposal; secondly, they also believe that the ultimate profit from this project will be limited, and for that meager

It is really not worthwhile to invest billions of dollars in profits.

In the end, it was Mr. Guo who overcame all opinions and made the decision that the Guo family would participate in 30% of the shares. In this case, if it succeeded, he would be able to share the profits brought by the project. If it failed, it would not cause any harm to the Guo family.

Bone loss.

"Grandpa Guo, if this project is officially approved, I think the design work should be handed over to Hong Kong. At the same time, I hope that the project supervisors will also come from Hong Kong." Regarding the design of the Beijing subway system, Fang Mingyuan had planned it in his previous life.

I can't stop complaining about this. The platforms are small, the passages up and down are not spacious, and the passages for line switching are even worse. During rush hour, the subway is packed like a can of sardines. Fang Mingyuan is very

I wonder how a subway system like this can withstand the pressure brought by the influx of large numbers of people in wartime? If there is an accident, just the commotion of the crowd will cause casualties.

Now that he has the opportunity, Fang Mingyuan naturally hopes that he can change the original line design through a Hong Kong design office and ensure the quality of the construction project. Based on this comparison, I believe that when Beijing constructs other urban railway projects in the future,

Also pay attention to some things.

Mr. Guo waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Qiuxia will consider these things carefully. Hehe, since it is entrusted to the name of my Guo family to undertake the construction, even if it is for the signboard of my Guo family,

We will never allow the production of substandard products! So, what do you plan to do with the land on both sides of the road?"

Fang Mingyuan filled up the tea cup in front of Mr. Guo, and then smiled and said: "Of course it is used to build residential areas to meet the housing needs of people in the capital. Grandpa Guo, haven't you noticed that there are everywhere on the streets of the capital?"

Construction sites, where there are many demolitions, people who have lost their houses will of course need new residences. Once the highways and rail transit are repaired, it will be very convenient to enter the city, so the developed communities do not have to worry about sales at all.

And it doesn’t matter even if it can’t be sold for a while, we can definitely rent it out. The real estate industry in Beijing is just the beginning. In the next ten years or so, housing prices will continue to rise, so we can’t lose no matter what.” Although it was said before.

, Fang Mingyuan had already roughly told Mr. Guo his overall plan, but Mr. Guo still asked again today.

"Hehehe..." Mr. Guo laughed happily.

"Mingyuan, the old man has an idea and wants to ask what you mean." Yu Qiuxia looked at Mr. Guo and said to Fang Mingyuan.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan glanced at Mr. Guo in surprise, and said quickly, "What do you think, Mr. Guo?" What do you think, Mr. Guo, why don't you say it yourself?

"The old man wants to exchange the shares of Guo's Shipping Group Company with the shares of Carrefour Supermarket. Both parties will hold 10% of each other's shares. I wonder if you are willing?" Yu Qiuxia said softly.

"What?" Fang Mingyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Why is this?" You must know that Fang Mingyuan already holds about 6% of the shares of Guo's Shipping Group Company. If Guo's Shipping Group Company and Carrefour Supermarket continue to maintain mutual support,

With 10% of the other party's shares, Fang Mingyuan owns 16% of the shares of Guo's Shipping Group! Guo's Shipping Group, as a company that has been listed in Hong Kong, has many small shareholders. Guo's Shipping Group

Fang Mingyuan doesn't know how many shares he owns in the company, but from common sense, for a company with many shareholders like this to control the company's board of directors, it only needs 30 to 40% of the shares, which is enough. So 100%

Sixteen shares, that's a pretty big share. Maybe, the Fang family will become the second largest shareholder in Guo's Shipping Group. If the Fang family has evil intentions and wants to annex Guo's Shipping

Group companies...

Fang Mingyuan shook his head and swept all his random thoughts out of his mind. He kept his eyes on Mr. Guo, waiting for Mr. Guo's answer.

"Hey, Mingyuan, I'm ashamed to say that!" Mr. Guo said with a long sigh. Although the Guo family's income in cooperation with Fang Mingyuan in recent years has been so rich that they themselves feel weak, but

Their main business, Guo's Shipping Group Company, has had unsatisfactory performance in recent years. Although the overall performance is still growing, the growth rate is already very slow. The world's shipping industry seems to have reached a bottleneck.

Similarly, it is difficult to achieve large-scale growth. This has also caused other members of the Guo family to object to increasing investment in the company.

For this reason, Mr. Guo also felt quite a headache, so he wondered whether to invest the profits earned over the years into other industries. However, after much thought, he still felt that it would be most appropriate to join forces with the Fang family. He believed that with Fang Mingyuan's business vision,

This will certainly ensure the preservation and appreciation of the value of these funds.

But Mr. Guo also understands that the Fang family should not be short of funds now. Even if there are any new projects, the Fang family can fully cope with them with their own funds. For example, the Fang family plans to invest in building a new project in Liao Province this time.

They did not ask the Guo family if they wanted to participate in the steel plant. Accepting the Guo family’s funds would squeeze the investment share of the Fang family’s own funds. Although the relationship between the two families was very close, Mr. Guo did not think that Fang Mingyuan had any

This obligation harms the interests of the Fang family for the sake of the Guo family.

So Mr. Guo thought about it and thought that in his previous chat with Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan's words revealed that he attached great importance to the shipping industry, and he himself was also very optimistic about the future development prospects of Fang's Carrefour supermarket.

With the above idea, Fang Mingyuan can have a greater say and influence in Guo's Shipping Group Company, and the Guo family can also get a share of the development of the supermarket chain industry.

In this way, even if the Guo Shipping Group Company does not perform well in the future, the Guo family will still have other industry support.

Of course, there is something that Mr. Guo will not say out loud. He also hopes that by increasing the shares in Fang Mingyuan's name, Fang Mingyuan will devote more effort to the development of Guo's Shipping Group Company.

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a long time and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Guo, why are you doing this? Without the support of Sister Qiu Xia and Grandpa Guo, how could our Fang family develop to the scale it is today? If you are willing to invest in my family,

Industry, that's what I want, just exchange shares or something, forget it." Anyway, among the shares of Carrefour Supermarket, there are still many shares that have been transferred back by Fang Capital under the guise of a Hong Kong company.

Giving this piece to the Guo family completely confirmed the identity of Carrefour Supermarket's joint venture. Moreover, 10% of the shares were not listed at all, and the remaining 90% of the shares were in the hands of the Fang family.

As for Carrefour supermarket, it will not affect Fangjia’s dominant position at all.

As for Guo's Shipping Group Company, which is the foundation of the Guo family's fortune, the 16% shareholding poses a substantial threat to the Guo family's holdings. Although Mr. Guo and Yu Qiuxia believe in themselves,

But it doesn't mean that the rest of the Guo family thinks the same way. Rather than putting a thorn in everyone's heart, it would be better to reject it outright!

Mr. Guo waved his hand and said: "Mingyuan, let me tell you the truth. Now I am too old and have insufficient energy. I am no longer able to deal with the development of Guo's Shipping Group Company. And your eldest brother, Shoucheng

There is more than enough, but there is not enough progress. But today's world shipping industry is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Hum, little Japan and the **** have invested a lot in purchasing ships in the past few years. I am very worried.

In another ten or eight years, will Guo's Shipping Group be able to guarantee that it will still have its current status? Letting you join the board of directors of Guo's Shipping Group is also to make Guo's Shipping Group more dynamic!"

Fang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Grandpa Guo, don't tell me that I still have 6% of the company's shares. Even if I don't, I won't be able to stand by and watch if it is really needed in the future."

Mr. Guo shook his head and said: "Mingyuan, I understand what you mean, but have you ever thought about it? Without enough shares to support it, even if what you say is the truth, how can you guarantee that the company's board of directors will adopt it and implement it without compromise?

?I’m afraid some people will still say that you are just like a dog and you are meddling in other people’s business!”

Fang Mingyuan sighed. What Mr. Guo said is indeed very likely to happen. As he only owns 6% of the shares, he does not have enough influence in Guo's Shipping Group Company. "Then you can transfer these shares

Leave it to Qiuxia..."

Fang Mingyuan himself couldn't go on. If he could do that, how could he not think of it with Mr. Guo's wisdom? There must be some reason that prompted Mr. Guo to choose him in the end.

"Mingyuan, don't shirk it. What is entrusted to you is not wealth, but a heavy responsibility!" Mr. Guo said sincerely. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come **
