Chapter 408: The old man strongly supports Imperial Group’s domestic investment

The old gentleman struck the matchbox with a match and lit the cigarette.

Standing by the window, I took a few puffs.

I thought Mr. Yang would come over soon.

The old gentleman put out the cigarette again and opened the window of the office to let in the wind from outside.

After a while.

There was a knock at the door.

Mr. Shen opened the door.

"Old sir, Mr. Yang is here."

When Yang Ming came in, he had already seen the old gentleman.

The old gentleman also met Yang Ming.

Yang Ming feels that there haven't been many changes in the old man's office now.

"Mr. Yang, please sit down."

Mr. Yang, who is not in a wheelchair, looks much taller to the old man.

When Yang Ming sat down, Mr. Shen went out.

"Mr. Yang, how about those bodyguards?"

Of course he was talking about sending the six bodyguards.

"Old sir, Zhang Guohua and the others are very good. They are very professional. I feel relieved with them here."

Yang Ming almost had an accident in London last year, and the old man was indeed worried for a long time.

He knows Mr. Yang and knows that Mr. Yang is critical to his introduction of foreign investment.

If something had happened to Mr. Yang at that time, his plan to introduce foreign investment would have been greatly affected.

He felt that Mr. Yang was very lucky, and his luck was also very good, and Mr. Yang was fine in the end.

"You have a different status now. Some people may want your life."

said the old gentleman.

Mr. Yang nodded.

He understands.

No matter in Xiangjiang or anywhere, it is really possible that someone wants his life.

This time, the old gentleman called Yang Ming over.

Actually, let’s talk about investment.

This afternoon, the old gentleman had met with Meris and others alone.

He also knows how these groups plan to invest in the mainland.

"Mr. Yang, I fully support your company's investment, including land, policies, taxes, etc., we are very supportive."

"Thank you, old sir."

"We should be the ones thanking you. You also sent so many people back to the mainland to inspect, and you know the situation in the mainland very well. You did it with good intentions. You are capital, you have to invest, and of course you have to make money, otherwise, like this Meaningless."

If we just bring in foreign capital, we will let it be domestically exploited.

In the old gentleman's opinion, this is not sustainable, and he cannot take that road.

When foreign capital is introduced, the foreign capital must make money, and they must also receive tax revenue. This will provide employment for a large number of local ordinary people and allow ordinary people to gradually become rich. This is a virtuous cycle.

If foreign investment is introduced now, then the slaughter will begin.

Then it is impossible for the next batch of foreign capital to dare to come in.

"Old sir, regarding investment, I have been discussing with the people below for a long time. Among them, basic investment is the most important. The first is electricity. If there is not enough electricity, it will be of no use if a large number of foreign-invested factories come in, because foreign-invested factories Electricity is needed to drive machines, and some foreign investors work both during the day and at night, so they need electricity all the time, so the electricity issue must be solved first."

The old gentleman nodded.

A world without electricity cannot develop at all.

At this point, the old man feels that domestic electricity may be fifty or even a hundred years behind compared to that in Japan.

Because most small cities, ordinary towns, and even rural areas in China do not have electricity. On the contrary, in Japan, there is already 100% sufficient electricity.

"I am going to let Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company invest in thermal power stations in Pengcheng, Guancheng, Huicheng, Yangcheng, Fucheng and other places, and even Shencheng and Yanjing. On the one hand, enough electricity can be provided to factories; on the other hand, electricity It can provide electricity for residents and even farmers.”

The old gentleman nodded again.

For electricity, he knew it was too important.

He is also very in favor of Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company's investment in this area.

Xiangjiang Electric Light Company has no technical problems with the use of thermal power. In addition to coal power, there is also oil power, which uses coal or oil to generate electricity.

At this point, Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company has accumulated technology in this area in Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming feels that domestic hydropower resources are very abundant. For example, his hometown Longchuan Hydropower has developed well. Apart from his hometown, domestic hydropower resources are too abundant.

Compared with coal power, oil power, and hydropower, it is cleaner.

In addition to these, Yang Ming also proposed.

"Sir, compared to coal power and oil power, there is a more energy-intensive way of generating electricity."

"Mr. Yang, what are you talking about?"

"nuclear power."

nuclear power?

The old gentleman was a little surprised.

In fact, there are already nuclear power plants abroad.

Countries such as Sulian, F, and even M have nuclear power plants to generate electricity.

However, historically, in the 1980s, a nuclear leak occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Sulian, causing the world to be somewhat afraid of nuclear power plants.

Even then, Yang Ming knew that development in this area would still be necessary in the future, because compared to coal power generation, nuclear power plants do produce cleaner electricity.

If we do not vigorously develop clean energy, there will still be a lot of smog in the entire north.

"Yes. It's a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power plants generate electricity more cleanly. Coal and petroleum power generation will produce air pollution. In severe cases, it will endanger the lives of residents. Of course, there is no large-scale development of nuclear power plants in China. It is possible that we will still rely on coal power for development in the early stage, and then vigorously develop hydropower. When the country develops to a certain extent, nuclear power technology will also come up and become safer, and nuclear power will gradually replace coal power."

The old gentleman nodded.

Yang Ming continued: "Old sir, my idea is to set up a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay in Pengcheng, which can generate large amounts of electricity. Part of it can be imported into Guangdong Province for local use, and part of it can be imported into Xiangjiang for use."

In fact, for now, Xiangjiang's electricity is far from enough.

Especially when the Iran-Iraq war broke out in history, a lot of electricity in Xiangjiang relied on oil. Most of the oil in Xiangjiang came from the Gulf. However, after the war in the Gulf, the oil from there could not come in. Global oil prices skyrocketed, and Xiangjiang began to lack electricity. .

Therefore, historically, the Kadoorie family entered into a joint venture with the mainland, introduced F country nuclear power plant technology, and established a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay. Then 80% of the electricity was imported into Xiangjiang and 20% into Guangdong Province. Only then did they gradually become satisfied. Hong Kong’s electricity demand.

At this time, the Kadoorie family had not mentioned the development of a nuclear power plant in Daya Bay with the old man.

Now that Yang Ming brought it up first, it was so different.

However, the Kadoorie family came to visit the old man last year. It is obvious that the Kadoorie family also wants to invest in electricity in the mainland and expand the scale and market of China Power.

The old gentleman nodded again.

This was the first thing Yang Ming put forward. He felt that what Mr. Yang put forward was very reasonable.

As for whether it is suitable to build a nuclear power plant?

In fact, he only needs to ask relevant professionals.

"In addition to electricity, in my opinion, road construction is really important. The first time I went back to my hometown, it was only more than 200 kilometers away, and it took two days to get back. The first trip back to Yangcheng, Guangdong Province is more than 100 kilometers, and it takes more than half a day to reach Yangcheng. If the express highway is built, then it should only take less than three hours from Xiangjiang to my hometown, Longchuan, and it will also take two hours to go from Xiangjiang to Yangcheng. About an hour.”

highway?

The old gentleman was very curious about this.

He knew that the Lutongcaitong mentioned by Mr. Yang just now was indeed very good.

Like Hong Kong, how could it be possible to develop if it weren't for the large number of deep-water ports?

Even if there is a deep-water port in the country, if the roads in other places where deep-water ports are connected are not perfect, how can goods be transported to the deep-water ports and eventually to all parts of the world.

"I am going to let Imperial Group invest in two fast lanes, called highways for short. On the highway, there is no need to stop when going from one place to another. The speed on the highway is maintained at 100 to 120 kilometers per hour, which will greatly speed up the two places. Traffic efficiency.”

Historically, the first expressway appeared in country D.

Country D's economy was very developed during World War I.

In China, the earliest expressway in history appeared in 1988.

At that time, the first expressway in China was called the Hujia Expressway. It was born in Shanghai and started construction in December 1984. It was completed and opened to traffic in October 12. The Hujia Expressway is 1988 kilometers long.

It was only 1979, so Yang Ming proposed it many years too early.

The old gentleman also knew about the expressway that Yang Ming was talking about, that is, the highway.

When he visited Japan and even other overseas countries, he knew very clearly that highways, trains, airlines, etc. were too important.

. . .

Yang Ming and the old gentleman chatted until late at night.

Yang Ming became more and more excited as he talked, and the old gentleman also became more and more excited as he listened.

These are investment plans, but if the two parties negotiate well, they can be carried out starting in the second half of the year.

According to what Yang Ming said, infrastructure construction, whether it is power stations or highways, is very important in the old man's opinion.
