Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 350 Purpose

As the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Ho Ying-Tong had to take the lead in everything, including taking charge of various matters and having dialogues with the other party. For example, the dialogue with Zeng Aimin, the mayor of Shenzhen, naturally required Ho Ying-Tong to step forward.

Now, Henry Fok has made a statement on behalf of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and he has also told Zeng Aimin about his own affairs. So it seems that there will be no more affairs of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce Group from now on, and it is time to exchange meaning with Zeng Aimin for their respective affairs.

So, when Huo Yingdong had nothing to say, Li Jiacheng and the other three had something to say to Zeng Aimin. Li Jiacheng was the first to speak. "Mayor Zeng, our Cheung Kong Group is also very optimistic about Shenzhen and is willing to invest in Shenzhen. Now that Mr. Huo wants to invest in Bao'an, our Cheung Kong Group certainly cannot lag behind, right? So, if there is still vacant land there, I hope you can leave a piece for me."

Li Jiacheng has his own plans. He naturally has his own purpose for wanting to buy land and invest next to Lu Shaohua's base.

Li Jiacheng had a purpose, but what about Huo Yingdong? Did Huo Yingdong have no purpose? They were both businessmen. After visiting Lu Shaohua's base, they both saw the business opportunities in Baoan. To put it bluntly, did Lu Shaohua build such a large production base just to produce cars and beverages?

Anyone who is not an idiot can see that Lu Shaohua's ambition is more than just that. There must be bigger actions involved. Since there are bigger actions, if Bao'an really develops in the future, it will definitely rise with it.

A place that seems to be very backward now actually has a super large production base. What will happen in the future? Needless to say, everyone knows the answer. That is, in the future, Bao'an will be driven by Lu Shaohua's base. I dare not say that it will become the leading area in Shenzhen, but it seems that it will not be a problem for it to become one of the best industrial areas.

This is exactly what Ho Ying-Tong and Li Jiacheng wanted. They saw the future of Anbao, so they chose to invest. Of course, their starting point was to see the future there, but from another perspective, they valued the secondary industry driven by the Lu Shaohua base more.

What is the secondary industry? Let's take a simple example. Lu Shaohua now sells beverages. In addition to the ingredients of the beverages, there are also outer bottles, packaging boxes, advertising paper on the outside of the bottles, etc. This is the so-called secondary industry. Even if Lu Shaohua produces everything in one go, there are always some small things that cannot be produced, and these small things that cannot be produced are the secondary industry.

Since Lu Shaohua's base can drive the secondary industry, and given their relationship with Lu Shaohua, as long as they invest, they believe that Lu Shaohua will still take care of them. Therefore, Li Jiacheng and Ho Ying-tung took action at this time and prepared to invest.

Of course, Li Jiacheng and Ho Ying-tung are only preparing to invest now. As for the investment, they still need to ask Lu Shaohua what small things he does not produce independently so that they can make targeted investments.

Li Ka-shing and Ho Ying-tung had their wishful thinking, but there were more than just the two businessmen sitting in the box. There were also two other members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. They were also businessmen with their own unique vision, so they naturally saw this point.

"Well, oh, Mayor Zeng, if you have land, please leave a piece for me. I am also planning to invest in a project to tinker with it." Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Well, there's me too. I want one too." Director Chen also said with a smile.

Zeng Aimin must have known what it meant that four people were investing in important areas around Lu Shaohua's base at the same time. Even if the four of them invested in small projects, it would still be a great political achievement. He couldn't have been excited.

Of course, for Zeng Aimin, although he values ​​political achievements, they are secondary. The most important thing is that the four of them are the bosses of large Hong Kong groups and companies. Their investment will drive the development of that place, and indirectly boost the economy of Shenzhen as a whole.

While serving as an official, one should benefit the people. This is the motto Zeng Aimin gave himself. Promotion is important, but benefiting the people is more important.

"On behalf of the Shenzhen Municipal Government and the people of Shenzhen, I would like to thank you all." Zeng Aimin said as he stood up and bowed sincerely.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong laughed and continued, "Mayor Zeng, you don't have to be like this. We are businessmen and we value profits. If there is no profit over there, we will not invest."

What Huo Yingdong said was the truth, the absolute truth, their starting point was naturally to make money. But even so, Zeng Aimin couldn't help but express his gratitude, after all, this investment relationship was too big, it might reverse the economy of a place!

Zeng Aimin ignored Ho Ying-tung's words that he didn't need to thank her, but still said sincerely, "Maybe it seems like an insignificant matter to you all, but it's different from my perspective, so I still need to thank you all!"

"Hey! Mayor Zeng, you're too polite." Huo Yingdong waved his hand, paused, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. "..."

"Mr. Huo, you don't need to say more. Uncle Zeng is just like that. Whether you are doing it for your own benefit or he is thanking you on behalf of the municipal government and the people, we all have our own goals. So don't say more." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued. "If Huo Yingdong feels unworthy of it, then he can find an opportunity to make a big investment, which can be regarded as a return to Uncle Zeng. As for Uncle Zeng, giving him the greatest discount under the conditions allowed by the policy can also be regarded as a practical action to repay everyone for coming to Shenzhen to invest."

Lu Shaohua's words did not favor any party; they were said from a completely neutral standpoint, making them easy for both sides to accept.

Sure enough, whether it was Huo Yingdong or Zeng Aimin, they all nodded, and Zeng Aimin even said, "I would do the same thing even without your telling me, Xiaohua. After all, although Shenzhen is now a special economic zone, its economy is still not comparable to that of big cities like Hong Kong."

"It's only a matter of time." Lu Shaohua answered without any context, but everyone present could hear Lu Shaohua's confidence in Shenzhen's future.

Come to think of it, if Lu Shaohua had no confidence in Shenzhen, he would not have invested in such a large base in Shenzhen. From this point, it can be clearly seen that Lu Shaohua’s confidence in Shenzhen’s future is not as simple as a little confidence.

After saying that, Lu Shaohua did not wait for everyone to speak and added, "Okay, everyone, stop being polite. We will talk about the big investment after we come back from Beijing and finish our inspection. Our task now is to eat. Oh, I feel very hungry."

Lu Shaohua's current position is undoubtedly neutral. You can say he is on the side of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, or you can say he is on the side of Shenzhen. After all, he is a director of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and on the Shenzhen side, he was born in China and has a relationship with Zeng Aimin. So he didn't say much from beginning to end, and he said those words just now because he couldn't stand their politeness.

Lu Shaohua's words were nonsensical and full of humor, which caused everyone to laugh and play. The atmosphere in the box was adjusted to be harmonious and everyone was talking and laughing.

……

Dinner was spent in laughter. People like Ho Ying-tung who had lived for most of their lives did not have any social skills, so telling a few jokes was natural for them. This was especially true for Director Zhang, a typical rough guy who had his own way of telling jokes.

They talked and laughed and ended a sumptuous dinner in the night. After dinner, it was getting late. In addition, Ho Ying-tung and his friends were old and a little tired, so after the meal, Ho Ying-tung suggested to Lu Shaohua that he should get some rest.

Huo Yingdong and his group came to Shenzhen, and Lu Shaohua, as half the host, naturally had to arrange these things. "Mr. Huo, how about this, stay at my villa for one night, it's too troublesome to stay in a hotel."

"I'm not picky about where I live. I have no objection." Ho Ying-tung said calmly.

"I have no objection. It's a good opportunity to visit Xiaohua's villa, hehe!" Li Jiacheng also spoke.

The other two naturally had no objections. To them, there was nothing to complain about where they lived. Although they were wealthy, they had already let go of things at their age. Besides, how could the place where Lu Shaohua, a top billionaire, lived be bad?

Without further ado, Ho Ying-tung and the others agreed. After Lu Shaohua said goodbye to Zeng Aimin and the others, he led the way towards the villa.

A convoy of eight cars, eight luxury cars, shuttled through Shennan Avenue and soon arrived at the fork of Window of the World. Without Lu Shaohua's instructions, Yang Yang took the lead and turned left, entering a four-lane avenue, and soon arrived at the door of the villa.

The villa in Shenzhen is no longer the same as it used to be. It has secret security and the gate is locked all day long. It is only opened when someone comes. When Yang Yang's car arrived, the gate opened automatically and Yang Yang could drive in directly without having to stop.

"Oh my god, it's so fucking luxurious." The first thing Director Zhang did when he got out of the car was to look around, and then he blurted out a swear word.

"Haha!" Huo Yingdong laughed, but there was a hint of bitterness in his laughter, and said to Lu Shaohua. "Xiaohua, you just said it was okay, but I think your villa is more luxurious than a ten-star hotel."

Lu Shaohua shook his head and smiled, giving full play to the fine traditions of the Chinese people, and said modestly, "It doesn't matter if it's luxurious or not, it's still a place to live!"

There is nothing worthy of Lu Shaohua to brag about in a villa. Everyone present has the ability to build a villa like Lu Shaohua's, so although there is some modesty in Lu Shaohua's words, he is also telling the truth.

"Artistic conception, this artistic conception is so high!" Manager Chen sighed with a scholarly look, and then said, "Old Zhang, you have to pay tuition to learn from Xiaohua. Look at him, and then look at yourself, you are just a rough guy."

"Tsk, stop pretending. You're actually thicker than anyone else, but you're the hidden type, and I'm the exposed type. There's no difference, no difference." After a pause, Director Zhang Xing added unwillingly, "Well, you're like a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"..." Manager Chen was speechless and secretly groaned in his heart. He had originally planned to hit him back, but he didn't expect the counterattack to be so fierce.

Everyone was already accustomed to the mutual attacks between the two, so they all smiled and followed Lu Shaohua's lead to the main building of the villa.
