Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

"Leader Wei is very pleased to meet you. Before we discuss business, on behalf of Mr. He, I would like to mention two things."

"Mr. Zhao, please speak."

"It's not a bad thing. The first issue is education. Mr. He has always attached great importance to education. Before I came, he asked me to convey his message:"

How many teachers do you have? How many schools can you build? We'll cover all construction costs!

"It's true!" Leader Wei was extremely excited.

"It's absolutely true, we don't have any teachers and we're not responsible for this area."

The second thing is that I heard you were disciplining the monkeys; they really deserve it.

Mr. He has lived here and is well aware that the compensation for our comrades who are seriously injured or killed is not high. He has decided to increase the compensation for all seriously injured and killed comrades by ten times.

Our group will cover the extra cost, and the money will go directly to the military for them to oversee.

Next, we'll discuss building the factory; this won't affect the previous two topics in any way.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Please convey our gratitude to Comrade He."

"I will."

Shortly after the formal negotiations began, Zhao Youcai frowned. "Leader Wei, I have three very important questions."

One issue is the equity distribution you mentioned. We cannot agree to you owning 51%. If that's the case, the bulk of our investment in building the factory will be in your hands.

Who would do that? It's no different from outright robbery. Internationally, you own 51% of the shares and are recognized as the major shareholder. It's impossible for you to get a piece of land for free!

The second issue is the land for the factory construction. We hope that the land belongs to you, and we can obtain the right to use it for several decades by purchasing it.

Renting is also an option, but it's not as reassuring as buying a leasehold for a certain number of years. This gives investors more peace of mind, as they don't have to worry about being evicted after two years.

"We will not evict anyone; our land policy prohibits the sale to private individuals."

"Leader Wei, you're just making assumptions. The lack of clear land ownership for the factory is a huge problem. Words alone don't count; they can be reneged on at any time."

"We can put it in the agreement."

"Sigh, you haven't built factories overseas for a long time. Agreements aren't a guarantee. Nobody invests hundreds of billions or trillions just because of a piece of paper."

When Mr. He went to Niu Niu to do business in the 60s, he said that the agreement was just a piece of paper, and if we didn't have the strength, they could tear it up and deny it at any time.

Another issue is leadership, which is even more impossible. If your leader and our factory leader disagree, whose opinion should we follow?

Why would we build a factory here if we listened to you? We can't even get control of a factory.

From a business perspective, you haven't figured out what work needs to be done when acquiring foreign investment. Issues such as land acquisition, equity ownership, and leadership must be resolved.

Wholly foreign-owned enterprises, joint ventures, and collaborations all involve different roles, and it's crucial to understand these differences before allowing foreign companies to enter the market.

I cannot agree to your idea. It goes against the rules of business. If I sign it, I will be cursed for a hundred years, a thousand years.

Let's pause the meeting. Our views on these issues are too different. Think it over and we'll talk again.

The two things I just mentioned remain unchanged; please convey them.

"May I ask how much you plan to invest?"

"There will be at least two million more jobs within five years, and many of your factories need to expand, resulting in a severe shortage of production."

"Hiss~~" All the old folks present gasped. Two million people, representing ten million families, would affect at least thirty million families. It was absolutely necessary.

"Really?"

"These are our planned investment projects, located on both sides of the Yangtze River. Your area is too large, and the port city is too small."

There's no space to build a factory in the port city; even building at least two identical factories here wouldn't be enough.

"That's absolutely right!"

As Zhao Youcai led his men away, the villagers back home trembled as they looked at the project, which would expand the port city factory ten or twenty times over, and once again bring up the concept of a complete industrial chain.

Once the entire industrial chain is established, the number of employees will easily exceed two million, resulting in a huge GG effect on us and fully revitalizing the open market.

As for the five-year investment of 200 billion US dollars, they didn't think too much about it. No one thought they wouldn't be able to come up with the funds. Dongda Group didn't have a single loan in Hong Kong.

"Leader Wei, this is a document left by Mr. Zhao outlining the practices of various countries in building factories overseas."

"We still have problems. The most basic things haven't been resolved yet. I'll go and report a few things."

Dongda Group came with good intentions; we need to resolve their issues in a way that benefits both sides.

"Leader Wei, there are some aspects we don't understand. If they can be trusted, we can request them and handle these matters properly."

"I'll go report."

"We understand the problem you mentioned. There are some things we didn't think of, or rather, we took for granted. We'll have a meeting to discuss a solution."

Comrade He Yuzhu truly values ​​education. He instructed the Ministry of Education to allocate teaching staff, emphasizing that they should not exaggerate or deceive the Dongda Group, lest they be disappointed.

This issue of compensation should be left to the military. We are still too poor, and the compensation should be increased.

Tell the comrades to prepare for a meeting. If any problems arise, we will solve them. You should also ask Mr. Zhao if he has any good solutions.

.......

"The commander's phone call."

"What? The soldiers' pension has been increased tenfold? Great! I'll pass on the message immediately. Thank you, Comrade He Yuzhu."

"Commander, what's making you so happy?"

"For comrades who are seriously wounded in battle and unable to work, or comrades who have died in battle, their pensions will be increased tenfold, and this money will be paid by Dongda Group."

They've shown some leniency this time; I'll definitely treat Comrade He Yuzhu to a good drink when I get back. Now I'm going to beat these red-faced monkeys to a pulp.

"Aren't there any restrictions?"

"No."

"He's a good comrade. Six months ago, we had 30 billion, we have 10 billion, and this time it's unlimited again."

"I'm going to crush them in the shortest amount of time possible, with minimal casualties."

"That's for the best."

........

"How's it going? There are still problems back home, aren't there? 'Openness' isn't just a simple word."

"The problem there is huge. We haven't done this before, and we've been acting on our own assumptions. They need to hold a meeting to deal with this."

I shared our ideas with people from Yanjing. They were building an industrial park, and many companies couldn't be located in the city center, otherwise the city would become too polluted.

We also told them about the methods for building industrial parks. They just didn't expect that we would build so many factories in their city.

I told them, "You are from Yanjing (Beijing), and you will definitely build up your hometown first if you have the opportunity. There is no doubt about that."

They decided to build industrial parks and high-tech zones during this period, following our methods.

"It's okay. Everything takes time. Let's wait. It's their first time too, so it's normal for them to have some unexpected issues."

The relocation housing in Kowloon Walled City has been completed. The first phase consists of 50 buildings with a total of 8,400 households, who can move in at any time. There are still 1,000 households available for sale.

That issue is about to be formally resolved! One year and two months is a good amount of time.

"This was only possible because you mobilized 60% of the construction teams in Gangcheng; it wouldn't have been possible with someone like Niu Niu."

"It's still a matter of money. If one-third of these construction teams are sent to build the new airport, the remaining buildings will be built a little slower, which won't be a big problem."

This is the list of construction teams to be removed; please have someone make arrangements.

When will the relocation begin?

"tomorrow."
