Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

In June, the sun is high and the greenery is abundant

Zhang Renkang drove to the Ministry of Industry in a new star car

Zhao Dingcheng looked at Zhang Renkang seriously with a thoughtful look on his face. Yesterday, he was called to a meeting by the butler and repeatedly told to actively cooperate with Zhang Renkang and strive to show the achievements of China's construction in Hong Kong Island to the world.

He was even told not to do anything tricky, and even asked him to go back and inform everyone that the construction of the factory in Hong Kong Island was related to China's image in the world, and all efforts should be concentrated on supporting the New Star Automobile Manufacturing Plant to go global.

Zhao Dingcheng certainly understood what it meant. This was not a warning to him, but to the people behind him.

Especially the forest system that has been stirring recently

"Renkang, our Ministry of Industry strongly supports your plan to build a factory in Hong Kong Island."

"It's just that the Ministry is still unclear about what you think."

Zhang Renkang put the plan in his hand on the ground, nodded and said softly

"Secretary, our opinion is that since John has set up the stage for us, we must perform this play well."

"We are going to cooperate with Shouqi and FAW in the name of Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and invest one million yuan to purchase materials from Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province respectively. We will start the construction of an automobile manufacturing plant with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles through the Hong Kong Island port."

Zhao Dingcheng thought for a moment and said in surprise

"Renkang, this one million yuan is not enough, right?"

"Hong Kong doesn't really recognize our Chinese currency. Besides, this one million can't support the construction of a factory."

Zhang Renkang nodded and smiled

"One million Chinese yuan is certainly not enough. This is the first phase of investment. I hope the ministry can coordinate with Guangdong Province to provide some building materials."

"I have already reported to the chief that Hong Kong does not recognize our Chinese Yuan. I hope that China can establish currency swaps and exchange ports with Hong Kong and even Euro and John."

"After all, if the two sides want to trade, they certainly can't use barter, there must be a currency with a constant value."

"My plan is to temporarily purchase some materials that Hong Kong lacks, such as food, cloth, etc., from the mainland and sell them to Hong Kong businesses at low prices in exchange for Hong Kong dollars."

“Sufficient to support the construction of the first phase of the project”

"In the second phase, I plan to borrow money in Hong Kong Island in addition to our domestic investments."

“Subsequent operations have been financed by borrowing funds.”

When Zhao Dingcheng heard about the loan, he immediately became anxious.

"Comrade Renkang, why is this loan?"

"If your factory is short of funds, the department can raise some for you."

"This is the first time our country has shown cooperation to the outside world. How can we ask others to borrow money?"

“How can this be possible?”

This year, the last foreign debt of China was paid off. Now China is debt-free for the first time in history.

When Zhao Dingcheng heard that Zhang Renkang wanted to borrow money, he immediately became anxious.

"Comrade Renkang, I know you have many ideas and broad thinking, but our country cannot afford to be in foreign debt anymore."

"Don't cause me any trouble"

Zhang Renkang explained helplessly

"Secretary, please listen to me."

“The borrowing I’m talking about has nothing to do with the country”

"I plan to register an independent company in Hong Kong Island, which has nothing to do with any unit in our country."

"We are just investors. We are applying for a loan from a bank in Hong Kong Island with this company as the main body. With the support from the Governor's Office, I don't think the bank will be too difficult. As long as we can borrow money to complete the installation and production of the second phase of the workshop and equipment, we will be able to borrow money."

“I am confident that the business will be profitable and I can repay the loan on time.”

"Moreover, it is not only about borrowing from banks, but more importantly, it is about getting all the forces in Hong Kong to invest together."

"It is not only about sharing the financial pressure, but also an invisible protection for the company."

"No matter what happens later, you can imagine that we are not the only ones who will be anxious."

Zhao Dingcheng looked at Zhang Renkang thoughtfully.

"You mean you want to attract various companies and families in Hong Kong to invest?"

"Will they?"

"We have nothing now. It's not certain whether the factory can be profitable after it is built."

"They can't possibly take that risk?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"I went to see Lou Huaijin last time, and I think he must be regretting it these days."

Zhao Dingcheng also smiled. He also knew about the Lou family's division. Zhang Tingan must have reported the details to him when he came back.

Zhang Renkang continued

"I'm afraid that so many forces in Hong Kong Island didn't expect that the John people would be so anxious to open shipping routes and trade channels with us."

"It seems that they are not having a good time in Euro either."

"Master is so enthusiastic, these people must be eager to find a channel to express their sincerity to us."

A few days after Zhang Renkang returned to China, John Jim led a team to visit China. In Beijing, they could not wait to sign a formal cooperation agreement between the two sides and establish a sea route from Tianjin and Guangdong Province to Hong Kong Island, opening up a limited channel for mutual visits between the two sides.

"What's more, this is a commercial investment. Even if we look at it from the worst perspective, the hundreds of acres of land allocated by the Governor alone are assets worth millions of Hong Kong dollars. This investment will not be a loss."

"They have no shortage of people with vision. Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for a war to occur between us and Euro or John, which means that the investment is safe."

"Don't they see how big the domestic market is? Aren't they jealous?"

Zhao Dingcheng nodded and said with a smile

"You have a much longer-term vision than most of our comrades."

“Even I am far inferior in many aspects.”

"Since we are talking about the domestic market, all departments have been holding meetings to study it during this period."

“How far have we developed the market?”

“What can be developed and what can be introduced?”

"Comrade Renkang, I have to remind you that, at the moment, there are more people who oppose than who agree."

"I know you have ideas, but you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time."

“Sometimes, if you are too anxious, you may fall down easily.”

"At the heads' meeting, it was said that you young people have ideas, like the morning sun, but for the morning sun to emit light and heat, it also has to go through the rotation of time."

“I want everyone to give their support and help”

"You can be supported by the leader"

“Sometimes I envy you.”

Zhao Dingcheng felt a little emotional. Zhang Renkang was really blessed.

Zhang Renkang was stunned. He didn't know about this. Although he knew that the current superior structure would definitely bring a lot of doubts and even attacks, he didn't expect such an incident to happen at the meeting.

No wonder I haven't been criticized so far.

Nodding gratefully

“I really don’t know how to repay the kindness and help from the chiefs and leaders.”

"We must devote all our efforts to the rise of our country and the self-strengthening of our nation"

"My opinion is that all areas related to people's livelihood and national strength should be firmly nationalized without wavering."

"What we want now is to introduce some external technologies and advanced standard experience to improve our domestic related fields."

"We can try to carry out small-scale cooperation in some light industries and agricultural trade industries."

"We will select some industries across the country for cooperative production. It's fine for them to make profits, but the leadership must be in our hands."

“I think this is something that cannot be compromised for the time being.”

"For various reasons, we can even choose a region, such as Guangzhou, or Shanghai or Tianjin in the north, for pilot cooperation."

“This gives us time and opportunity to gain experience.”

Zhao Dingcheng's eyes lit up and he asked

"You mean to find a coastal city for pilot development?"

Zhang Renkang nodded
