Early in the morning, a provincial leader who was familiar with him from the past accompanied Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe, the leader of Yanjing City, to the Jingxi Hotel. Wang Yaocheng was surprised when he first met;
"Uncle Wang, why are you here?"
This calm and self-confident old man, whose temples have turned white but is still in good spirits, is none other than Wang Yuanchao, the father of his good friend Wang Bing and the deputy secretary of Jiangsu Province.
"This time I came to Beijing for a meeting. I heard from my old friend that there is a famous entrepreneur from Hong Kong and Macao who is very successful in the United States. His name is Wang Yaocheng. I heard that he is a business tycoon who has made outstanding achievements in the high-tech field.
, attracted worldwide attention.
I thought about it, isn't this Xiao Wang who runs a supermarket in Jinling City? Could it be that he has the same name?
No, when my curiosity arose, I followed him to have a look. It turns out that you are really the boy. You are not very young. How can you do so much?"
hehe!
Uncle Wang, I believed your evil deeds!
Wang Yaocheng had a look of fear on his face and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Wang, you have watched me grow up. I can't do anything about my achievements in front of you. You can't. You keep saying this, which makes me feel ashamed."
!”
Wang Yuanchao laughed loudly and said to Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe, "Old Liu, have you seen that this is a little slippery man with a delicate heart? Our boy followed him and became a success."
A businessman has made tens of millions easily, so you must not underestimate him."
"Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. This is a new era with rapid technological advancement. We cannot turn a blind eye to Yaocheng's remarkable achievements in the United States. We are all old, and the new era belongs to their young people."
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe laughed loudly, his eyes full of relief. Wang Yaocheng couldn't bear to accept this, so he laughed sarcastically.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of the badass center "Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan of the NBA Spurs. Every time he defeated his opponent in the NBA Finals, he would always touch his opponent's head and say with emotion: "The future
It's yours."
As a result, no matter how many amazing talents there are in the NBA basketball world, they rotate like a revolving door year after year. This team has stood at the top for 19 years, defeated one opponent after another, won countless high honors in the NBA league, and has always been prosperous.
"Stone Buddha" Tim Duncan is a big liar who deceives people.
At this time, this guy hasn't entered the NBA league yet.
Thinking of this, Wang Yaocheng made a thought and asked the Rockets manager to check it carefully when he returned.
After some pleasantries, the conversation got down to business.
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe said;
"On the Pacific Plaza project, the decision-making above was indeed ill-considered. After all, these are challenges that have never been experienced before. We leading cadres do not have a thorough understanding of the laws of the market economy, and we still need to continue to learn and improve.
From a developer's perspective, we understand that there are complaints.
This is not to defend the government's decision-making. It is true that uniting the majority will be taken into consideration and the rules of the market economy itself will be ignored. I would like to apologize for this.
We are not afraid of facing mistakes and have the courage to admit and correct them. We hope to receive understanding and support so as not to affect subsequent development cooperation."
Facing the 1997 deadline for the return of Hong Kong, the Swire Group, which has an extremely important influence on Hong Kong Island, is understandable in doing so for the purpose of stabilizing and uniting the majority.
As soon as these words came out, they carried a very heavy weight. Deputy Secretary Wang Yuanchao looked at Wang Yaocheng with deep meaning and said nothing.
Wang Yaocheng stood up with a serious expression. This was not allowed for Tai Chi. He bowed respectfully and said, "I made you laugh. I am so scared and ashamed. Can you just let this matter go away? Face the future."
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe and Deputy Secretary Wang Yuanchao looked at each other and smiled, and said with approval; "Okay, the municipal government attaches great importance to this development project and it is the top priority in the city's five-year development plan. So for this project, what do you have
What are the considerations?”
When faced with questioning, Wang Yaocheng did not need to hide his thoughts, he simply told the truth;
"I am not afraid that you will laugh. I always have a deep sense of innocence in my heart. I hope to use my abilities to serve the motherland, develop a big project that makes me feel guilty, and leave an eternal classic to this ancient city where dragons and tigers dominate.
.
Compared with spending years and hard work building a classic city that will be handed down for generations, it is easier and more satisfying to make money in the Silicon Valley of the United States.
The mayor must also know that after a project launched by our company was launched, it made billions of dollars, and now it has launched a second high-tech network project, which will make no less money than the previous project.
Developing Pacific Plaza, making money is not my purpose
Every time I walk on the broad Chang'an Street, I feel a throbbing deep in my heart. This is the awe of the ancient capital. It has accumulated the country's historical heritage and is still strong after thousands of years, guiding tourists in the direction of home.
My blood is flowing with the pure blood of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. I beat with the motherland, I am excited for every bit of progress the motherland has made, and I am sincerely happy for the strength of the motherland.
Previously, the reason why I became a Hong Kong citizen was to avoid the international high-tech blockade and suppression of my motherland, and I took a tricky approach.
After all, Hong Kong people are also Chinese, and Yaocheng has not gone so far as to flatter foreigners.
Because my ambition is to serve the country with science and technology, I am committed to building a strong Chinese chip and a semiconductor empire that can dominate the world.
The power of an individual is too weak. If you want to realize your dream, Hong Kong citizenship can avoid most troubles and make it easier to obtain cutting-edge technological achievements. You can borrow high-end technological talents from Silicon Valley in the United States to accumulate strength for computer chip technological breakthroughs and slowly lay a solid foundation.
.
Everything Yaocheng does is to accumulate financial strength for the semiconductor empire and invest in this bottomless pit that consumes gold and silver.
Therefore, building a magnificent and classic Pacific Plaza in Yanjing City is actually not a real job. It is just a passionate emotion, persistence, dream, and extravagant hope in the heart. I want to create a building without regrets.
The city of Chinese classics.
This is the heart of the motherland. Chang'an Street is the core of the capital, and its geographical location is of vital importance.
I can't imagine a reinforced concrete box building, or a European Baroque or Roman-style building, on Chang'an Street, a precious land with a long history. It would be a permanent regret that violates the harmony.
Here, we hope to erect a Chinese classical masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, with a strong legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
This is the development project I want that can highlight the ancient cultural heritage of Yanjing City, represent the heritage of the nation, and have a grand and majestic style.
It consumes the most, and we must strive for excellence. Although it takes a long time, we do not dare to neglect it at all. Although the carving is complicated, we must do our best to make it worthy of the proud and illustrious position of this dragon vein treasure land in the world, and worthy of my Yanhuang bloodline with yellow skin and dark eyes."
The words of sincerity and unreserved words made Deputy Mayor Liu Jianshe and Deputy Secretary Wang Yuanchao stunned and remained silent for a long time.
After a while
"well……"
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe Weiran sighed and said in a solemn tone: "The words awakened the dreamer. It seems that our focus was wrong from the beginning. Fortunately, it is not too late. I will fully support you in the Standing Committee.
Development plan, you are ready to take over this project."
This was exactly Wang Yaocheng's purpose. He knew how heavy this promise was, so there was no need to be pretentious and he simply agreed; "Don't worry, mayor, as long as we leave it to us, we will definitely build a Chinese-style classical building that will amaze the whole world."
Architecture, leaving no regrets.”
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe was very satisfied with his statement and said generously: "It is rare that you have a pure heart to serve the country. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time. From now on, I will treat you as my little brother.
For projects limited to Yanjing City, if you have any other difficulties, you can come to me.
I want to state up front;
I can't help you with the money problem, but service work is still possible. If I don't have the ability to solve it, I will help you appeal."
"Thank you, Mayor Liu. You will definitely be annoyed by me." Wang Yaocheng climbed up the pole.
"Hahaha...you little guy is so rude."
Wang Yaocheng blinked his eyes, looking like an innocent college boy; "You regret it!"
"That's not true. I have a request for you. The country is currently very tight on foreign exchange. Can we use U.S. dollars for investment?" Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe was not easy to deal with and immediately made another request.
Wang Yaocheng was very cheerful; "Okay, all investments will be in U.S. dollars. We will inject 200 million U.S. dollars in advance and fully launch the development project."
"Okay, okay, okay, you don't have to talk about the mayor in the future, just call me Brother Liu. We don't discuss seniority with Secretary Wang here, we all have our own affairs."
Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe was very happy. He said three good words in a row, and his face became more relaxed and easy-going.
Wang Yaocheng's promise to invest in US dollars is undoubtedly a heavy weight, which is enough to make Vice Mayor Liu Jianshe's opinions more convincing.
To what extent is the domestic foreign exchange shortage?
In 1993, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only US$21.1 billion, which was only enough for one month's foreign trade.
It can be seen that such a large country is struggling to use foreign exchange and has to cancel many important projects. Even military construction has to make concessions for economic development. This is a helpless choice.
Entering the third quarter of 1993, CPI inflation reached a very high level. One-year bank loan interest rates were over 15%, and in many places reached 20% or more. Prices were soaring.
The latest depreciation of the RMB exchange rate has reached 8.27 RMB: 1 US dollar.
Of course, Wang Yaocheng is not as harmless as he said.
When he returned to China this time, he received an invitation from Yanjing City for an investment inspection. Wang Yaocheng made his first stop in Yanjing City, with a private jet, American bodyguards, four eye-catching Rolls-Royces, and a
My Hollywood girlfriend Julia Roberts came back and made a huge splash.
He could not wait to take out all his belongings and pile them on a large truck and parade along the streets of Yanjing City. The purpose of such a grand show was to add a halo to himself.
This is called "taking advantage of the situation"
Because he is well aware of the psychology of the Chinese people. In 1993, when economic construction was vigorously carried out, the moon in foreign countries was round, and exporting to domestic sales was very popular. It would be even better if you had Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan status, which would invisibly make people look up to you. One glance.
How effective is it?
Facts have proved that the effect is very significant.
This is not an era when billionaires are everywhere in the future and investors are not as good as dogs.
Wang Yaocheng's brilliant achievements in the United States were enough for him to be highly valued by the government. He was received beyond the standard, and his words were given much weight. Naturally, he got twice the result with half the effort.
Compared with the last trip to Yanjing City, when managers Wang Yaocheng and Huo Jiaguang went to the district government to discuss projects and introduce investment projects, the welcome they received this time has obviously gone up a few levels, and their right to speak is completely different.
