Chapter 297 Too remote! ?

The next day.

Liu Tao met with the people in the working group.

The level of this working group is very high, which fully demonstrates the importance attached to Xiangjiang.

There are heavily armed soldiers standing guard at the working group's office, and bodyguards from security companies are also providing security services.

This office location is located in Central, which is the most prosperous place in Hong Kong. This building originally belonged to Land, but now it belongs to Panshan Group. The working group is located on the best floor of the entire building.

The director of Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang Branch can only serve as deputy leader of the working group.

"Leader!" Liu Tao looked at the leader of the working group and couldn't help but straighten up.

Liu Tao had met this leader in the capital before. He was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. He had also spent time in Guangdong Province and was a leader who was good at both military and political affairs.

He did not expect that after retiring to the second line, the leader would come to Xiangjiang to serve as the leader of the working group.

"Comrade Liu Tao, farewell to the capital. I didn't expect to see you again in Xiangjiang." The leader smiled, and then introduced Liu Tao to the rest of the working group: "This is Comrade Liu Tao, from the weapons industry system, Huaxia Panshan The general manager of the group company is our God of Wealth in China, and the current working place of our working group was provided by Comrade Liu Tao.”

Many people were surprised when they saw Liu Tao for the first time.

Limited by the spread of information and the fact that Liu Tao is not high-profile, there are still very few people who know him.

This is the first time for many people here to hear Liu Tao.

"This is the president of Xinhua News Agency's Xiangjiang Branch, President Zhu. This is..." The leader introduced the other working group leaders one by one, and then introduced the situation of the working group.

This working group is very large, with a total of 500 people, covering various fields. The working group's mission is to maintain social stability and economic development in Hong Kong in the past few years, and ensure the smooth return of Hong Kong.

Liu Tao also introduced himself and his group one by one.

"With your actions this time, I believe that Xiangjiang will soon return to normal and even create new glory." The leader said with a smile.

Liu Tao mused: "Leader, in order for Hong Kong to have enough talents to support future development, I plan to establish Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong City University to provide conditions for the transformation and upgrading of Hong Kong's industry. However, this aspect requires communication between the working group and the Hong Kong government. , obtain the consent and support of the Hong Kong government. After all, the university belongs to Hong Kong and cannot do without the support of the Hong Kong government.”

Liu Tao also conducted an investigation and already understood that the reason why there are currently no high-tech enterprises in Xiangjiang is mainly due to the lack of talent reserves in Xiangjiang, especially talents in science and engineering.

This time, whether it is a polytechnic or a city university, they will focus on science and engineering to balance the current situation in Hong Kong where liberal arts are strong but science is weak.

Universities have always been the driving force behind technology.

If Xiangjiang wants to truly complete its industrial transformation and upgrading, it cannot do without a large number of talents.

"Establishing a university is a good thing. It is completely conducive to the development of Hong Kong. Our working group will communicate with the Hong Kong government on this matter." The leader nodded.

Liu Tao said: "Next we will build computer manufacturing plants, automobile manufacturing plants, motorcycle manufacturing plants, home appliance manufacturing plants, and mobile phone manufacturing plants in Xiangjiang. We will invest a lot in this area, which should be able to solve a large number of jobs in Xiangjiang. question."

Originally, these factories were planned to be set up in Pengcheng, but under the current situation, we have to consider building factories in Xiangjiang at the same time.

The situation in Xiangjiang must be stabilized, otherwise the consequences will be quite serious.

As an important window for internal and external exchanges, as long as Xiangjiang continues to prosper, funds can be continuously introduced into the mainland. At the same time, mainland China's listing and financing in Xiangjiang is a very good choice.

Now in mainland China, there is no stock market yet.

There is also generally no money in society, and there is a huge shortage of funds.

The leader listened to what Liu Tao said and nodded slightly. These five factories can provide a large number of jobs for Xiangjiang. As long as everyone has a job, they will naturally dare to consume, and the entire Xiangjiang will stabilize.

The above positioning of Xiangjiang is very clear, that is, it is the transit base for mainland China's import and export items.

It is precisely because many import and export items from the mainland use Xiangjiang as a transit base, which brings great convenience to Xiangjiang. The country's reform and opening up is accelerating, and import and export trade will become more and more prosperous in the future. Because of the free trade policy implemented in Xiangjiang, it will also become a transit base for mainland China to communicate with the world.

Liu Tao and others had a sincere and frank exchange with the working group. Both parties are their own people. The working group needs Liu Tao and others to invest in building factories to stabilize Xiangjiang and provide guarantee for the future development of Xiangjiang. Liu Tao and the others will inevitably have to deal with the working group for a long time. Many things must be supported by the working group or solved through the working group.

Now they have almost controlled some industries related to people's livelihood, such as electricity, transportation, gas, water supply and other industries.

They will also make bigger moves in the future, such as attracting more water from Pengcheng to supply Xiangjiang. There are also investments in capacity expansion of existing power stations and construction of new power stations, all of which are based on the future development of Hong Kong.

In addition, there is another very obvious one, which is to rebuild the main arterial roads and improve the road standards of these arterial roads to the point where the Type 80 main battle tank can be driven directly without crushing the road surface.

"Aren't Tianshuiwei and Dongzhenwei too remote?" The leader was a little surprised.

Tin Shui Wai and Tung Chun Wai are located in Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong. They are mostly small-scale farmers. In addition to some aborigines, there are also some people who sneaked in from the mainland. It is a very remote place in Hong Kong.

Tin Shui Wai is separated from Pengcheng by Pengcheng Bay, which is less than 5 kilometers away from Pengcheng, and Tung Chun Wai is even closer to Pengcheng, separated by Pengcheng River, less than 200 meters away.

"It's good to be remote, which is most suitable for factories. If it is in a prosperous place, it is not suitable." Liu Tao smiled, "In a prosperous place, we will set up business and research institutes at that time."

With him, there is actually no need for a research institute.

But it is necessary to attract talents to join and provide jobs.

"When the factory is established, it will also attract people to come here. With people, it will develop quickly. Maybe it will become a prosperous place in a few years." Liu Tao said.

In fact, this action is not just about investing in building a factory.

As gold, silver, diamonds, etc. are shipped from Africa and Southeast Asia, Liu Tao and Huo Yingdong will also expand in jewelry.

The jewelry business is definitely profitable. Just selling and recycling gold can make a lot of money.

As for jewelry here, as long as gold, silver and diamonds are processed into jewelry, they can be sold to countries or regions such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The market can be said to be quite broad.

Liu Tao is not worried about the remoteness.

Roads can be built in Tin Shui Wai and Tung Chun Wai, and docks can be built. In the future, even subways can be built. As long as you are willing to invest money, the improvement of transportation facilities is nothing more than a matter of time.
