We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

“It was my shallowness. As you said, Boss, once the economic reforms in Guangdong Province succeed, it will be a hotbed for investment, which is its inherent advantage.

By the way, Boss, I have good news to tell you. Due to your special status, the Guangdong Provincial Government attaches great importance to our investment. They have already approved the sale of a piece of industrial land in Peng City to us. We will also be the first Hong Kong businessmen to invest in Peng City. Although everyone has invested in Guangdong Province or the mainland before, they generally choose the provincial capital as the main location. For example, some Hong Kong businessmen have already invested in hotels in Yang City.

And we will be the first Hong Kong businessmen to build a factory in Guangdong Province.” Yang Chaoye listened carefully to Su Cheng's words and thought for a long time before continuing.

“Oh? Where is the approved industrial land?” Su Cheng asked curiously.

“This land is in Shekou, Peng City. You may not know it, Boss, but it is actually very close to Hong Kong. It faces Yuen Long across the sea, with a straight-line distance of only a few kilometers. Even standing on the beach in Yuen Long, you can clearly see the other side.” Yang Chaoye said with a smile.

Of course, Su Cheng knew about Shekou. Who didn't know about Shekou? This was the place where Peng City's economy took off.

Last time, when he went to the Tuen Mun oil base, he took a patrol boat out to sea and saw Shekou from a distance.

At that time, he was full of expectations, hoping to invest there as soon as possible.

Now, this idea has finally come true.

“How big is the approved area? When can construction begin?” Su Cheng asked curiously.

“The area is about one million square meters. Because I have already discussed with the Guangdong Provincial Government, we will invest heavily in an electrical appliance manufacturing plant this time, developing manufacturing in Peng City, which is what Peng City needs most. Moreover, they urgently need a good start, and our enthusiasm has moved them.

For this reason, they directly approved a construction land area of one million square meters, and our cost is only five million Hong Kong dollars, which can be said to be half-sold and half-given. Of course, the main reason is that Peng City's economy is still blank, with barren mountains and wild ridges everywhere. The total annual output value of the entire Peng City is even less than 100 million RMB. In such an environment, the price of land will naturally not be too high.

As for the construction start time, it is mainly determined by our side. We have already paid the land purchase fee to the local government, and we have also obtained the land deed. Construction can start at any time, and the leader there also said that they can participate in the groundbreaking ceremony when construction starts.

Because the area of the land is large enough, I plan to design the land well and make good use of it. I have already assigned the task to the architectural design department of Hutchison Whampoa Real Estate Company. Once the design drawings are completed, we will prepare to choose an auspicious day to start construction.

After investigation, I also found that Shekou's location is very advantageous in the entire Peng City. It is not only across the sea from Hong Kong and very close to Hong Kong, but also a deep-water port can be built in Shekou. A near-sea hub port can be built here. Once the port is completed, the products we manufacture in Peng City can be transported to the world.”

As Yang Chaoye spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

One million square meters is a huge area of 1 square kilometer.

Of course, Su Cheng also knew that an industrial park of one million square meters was not surprising in Peng City. In the future, the area of Peng City BYD Industrial Park alone would reach 2.3 million square meters.

However, the location of BYD Industrial Park, Pingshan, cannot be compared with Shekou.

Yang Chaoye knew Peng City very well, especially Shekou. He had been there several times. Every time he went there, he understood it more deeply and liked the place more. When the people from the Peng City government asked him to choose a factory construction location, he directly chose Shekou.

After all, their investment in Peng City is mainly to sell products abroad. It is impossible to only sell products to the mainland. With the current economic situation in the mainland, these products are all valuables, and it is impossible to have good sales.

Therefore, sales still depend on developed countries and regions.

When the mainland's economy develops, it will also be a very good market.

It's just not now.

“Well, I also know Shekou. A large port can indeed be built there. You can discuss with the Peng City Government and the Guangdong Provincial Government to give us the construction and operation rights of the port. I want to build it into a world-class port. With Peng City's geographical location, it will definitely attract many Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen to invest in the future. We must take the lead and seize the opportunity before they enter the market!” Su Cheng said directly after hearing Yang Chaoye's last sentence.

Shekou Port will be an important distribution center and transit port in the future.

If you don't seize the opportunity now, you won't have a share in the future.

While Peng City is still blank and everything is easy to enter, when will you wait if you don't wait now?

Yang City, after all, is the provincial capital. In the early stages, everyone will definitely be more enthusiastic about investing in Yang City, thus ignoring Peng City. This is a very good opportunity.

1979, what a great era, we must seize this opportunity.

As Hutchison Whampoa and the products under Su's Group are selling more and more around the world, the output of Hong Kong factories is seriously insufficient. For this reason, when Macau sought Su Cheng's investment, he unified without hesitation and wanted to invest heavily.

However, Macau is only a small place after all, with little development potential and easily encountering bottlenecks.

The mainland is different, with vast land and abundant resources and a large population, with unlimited development potential.

Macau is an investment destination, Europe is an investment destination, Guangdong Province is also an investment destination, and even the entire Pearl River Delta and even the Yangtze River Delta in the future are very good investment destinations.

“Okay, while there are no results from Dongying, I will discuss with Guangdong Province in the next two days. If there are no accidents, it should not be difficult to win the construction and operation rights of Shekou Port.” Yang Chaoye said with a smile.

“Well, when the groundbreaking ceremony starts there, I will also go there and bring the Hong Kong media over to promote it. The development of a city requires the joint participation of many people. Although I can develop Peng City's economy by myself, it is too slow. I hope that the economy of Peng City and even Guangdong Province can develop faster, so as to drive the economic development of the entire China!” Su Cheng said seriously. (End of this chapter)
