According to the prior schedule, Wang Yaocheng and a group of senior executives from the consortium met with the delegation from the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee to Hong Kong at the Mingyue Pavilion decorated in a classical Chinese style.
The two sides sat down separately for guests and hosts to start formal talks. The scene was recorded live by Hong Kong Wireless TV, and a number of media professionals were present for interviews.
The head of the Chinese delegation is Vice Chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee and Vice Mayor of Yanjing City Wu Yifan, an old friend of Wang Yaocheng who has known him for many years.
After the two chatted for a while, Vice Mayor Wu Yifan took the lead to express his position;
"Mr. Wang, the delegation of the Olympic Organizing Committee attended the opening ceremony of Royal Plaza as a guest this time. We are sincerely happy about the vigorous development of local enterprises in Hong Kong and sincerely wish you the best;
Under the leadership of Chairman Wang Yaocheng, Royal Fund has further expanded its international influence, assumed more social responsibilities as a responsible international enterprise, and fully demonstrated the style of Chinese enterprises on the international stage.
At the same time, Chairman Wang is also welcome to increase investment and further develop the Chinese market,"
Wang Yaocheng said;
"Thank you Vice Chairman Wu for your commendation. We are willing to work together with Chinese enterprises to create a better tomorrow."
Next
Vice Mayor Wu Yifan introduced the preparations for the 2008 Yanjing Olympic Games;
“The preparations for the Yanjing Olympic Games are mainly divided into three stages of work, the preliminary preparation stage;
From December 2001 to June 2003, the main work during this period was to prepare the leadership structure, action planning and implementation charter of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and to conduct repeated demonstrations and scientific organization on venue construction, market development and preparations.
Taking into account the long-term development goals, the Olympic Organizing Committee has set strict standards;
Environmental protection and urban infrastructure, as well as a number of cultural and tourism facility development projects have entered the planning stage, market development work has been started in advance, and further...
The second stage is the comprehensive construction stage;
During this period, the construction of Olympic venues and facilities, market development, publicity and cultural popularization were in full swing.
…”
Wang Yaocheng smiled and nodded frequently. When Vice Mayor Wu Yifan introduced that the total investment in Olympic projects reached 280 billion yuan, his face couldn't help but twitch, and he was really shocked.
Brother, there’s no need to be so exaggerated, right?
In his memory, he only knew that the 2008 Yanjing Olympics was the most successful Olympic Games in history. The opening ceremony director Lao Mouzi's large footprints in the sky and human body typefaces were impressive.
And what else...
Auspicious Cloud Torch...
Li Ning, the prince of gymnastics, walked in the air along the antique scroll and ran half a circle around the venue...
To be honest, he has no idea how much money was spent on this successful Olympics.
Listening to Vice Mayor Wu Yifan's introduction, even though Wang Yaocheng is a powerful figure in the international business community, he was shocked by the Chinese government's generosity.
It is indeed worthy of the ambition of a great power. Either it does not take action, but once it takes action, the effect will shock the world and show the grandeur of China. This also requires financial expenditures as high as gold and silver.
At the end of the introduction, Vice Chairman Wu of the 2008 Olympic Organizing Committee smiled and said;
"The 2008 Olympic Games is a century-old event for the Chinese nation. It will showcase the brilliant achievements since the reform and opening up, promote the comprehensive development of mass sports and competitive sports, promote sports exchanges and cooperation between our country and other countries around the world, and contribute to the development of world sports.
.
We adhere to the concept of "organizing the Olympics with development and promoting development with the Olympics", and by hosting this Olympic Games, we will promote the development and popularization of the Olympic movement in the country.
…
This Olympic Games is of great significance to China. We hope that powerful entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will actively participate in this sports event and contribute to the development of the Olympic movement and the prosperity of the country."
The implication of these words is self-evident. As a leader in Chinese capital and a world-renowned business consortium, Royal Fund hopes to contribute more to support the preparatory work of the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Wang Yaocheng expressed with a smile;
"As a member of the Chinese nation, with hot Yanhuang blood flowing in its veins, the Royal Family Fund will do its best to contribute to the Olympic cause of the motherland, and exert its influence in the business community to mobilize powerful enterprises and individuals from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan to participate
Come to this national event.”
…
The 40-minute formal meeting between the guests and host was a joyful one. Both parties laughed and chatted, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Formal talks ended
Wang Yaocheng took the lead in accompanying Deputy Mayor Wu Yifan to leave Mingyue Pavilion. After walking a short distance, Wang Yaocheng dragged Deputy Mayor Wu Yifan into a secluded room next to him and closed the door with his backhand.
"Old Wu...what are you doing?"
"Didn't I just say it when we met? I hope that powerful entrepreneurs from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will actively participate in this sports event. Those who have money will contribute money and those who have the ability to contribute, and those who have no money or ability will help.
Shouting, this is a great thing!"
"Stop making trouble, what kind of sports meeting costs 280 billion? I think this is just a big bag, and everything can be put in it."
Wang Yaocheng was not easy to fool, he counted on his fingers;
"If nothing else, where did your 280 billion budget come from?
Yanjing's underground rail transit and urban construction are all taken into account, as well as urban reconstruction projects. The total total is close to 180 billion. This is a government urban construction and development project and should not be included in the investment funds for the Olympic Games.
Regardless of whether the Olympics are held or not, this money will be spent anyway, and it should be a government-funded project.
There is also 68 billion yuan for basic energy construction, which is a public utility that benefits thousands of households. Athletes in the Olympic Village cannot enjoy these.
These are historical debts of urban construction and should not be included in the budget of the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Please tell me what items to put in this big pocket.
The budget for the 2008 Olympic Games bid for the International Olympic Organizing Committee is 2 billion US dollars, almost 17.6 billion yuan. My Royal Family Fund has pledged to donate a Water Cube stadium and surrounding facilities, which is more than 1 billion yuan.
At worst, I'll add some more, and if I make up 1.8 billion, I'll be able to cover 1/10 of the stadium construction budget, which is pretty good, right?"
Vice Mayor Wu Yifan was unmoved and sighed with a grimace and said;
"Brother! I admit that many of them are historical debts. Yanjing City also wants to take advantage of the Olympic Games to improve urban construction and show the style that a capital of a big country should have.
After all, this is a major event that attracts national attention, and large-scale construction projects are more likely to be approved here. Yanjing City does have selfish motives.
But this is not someone who is corrupt. When we serve as officials, we also want to benefit the people of the capital and make more achievements to give back to the people. This is the original intention of the Yanjing Municipal Government to spare no effort in construction.
Building a Yanjing city with beautiful mountains and clear waters, clear water and blue sky, building an international metropolis with developed transportation and complete public facilities, and presenting a peaceful and united capital to the people of the world are the goals that successive municipal governments have been striving for.
But we face many difficulties..."
Vice Mayor Wu Yifan spread his hands and said, "The funds allocated from above are very small. The bulk needs to be solved by Yanjing City's finance and bond issuance. There are many large-scale construction projects that the city government has always wanted to implement, but they are all stuck in the approval process.
.
Taking advantage of the Olympic Games, many large-scale urban public construction projects were approved and implemented, alleviating historical problems in the capital's transportation and public pipe networks.
But we found that a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!
It’s just one word: poor.”
"hehe……"
Wang Yaocheng laughed angrily;
"Poor? I can't see it. The initial purchase price is 280 billion. If the actual construction cost is more than the budget, I'm afraid even 300 billion won't be enough. Look around the world, whether it's Tokyo, Los Angeles, Sydney or other developed cities, who is there?
More ambitious than Yanjing City?"
"Compared with urban infrastructure in developed countries, our historical debts are too much. This is an unavoidable weakness." Vice Mayor Wu Yifan still defended.
Wang Yaocheng shook his head and said;
"It is unreasonable to list expenditures for this planned project. It should be included in Yanjing City's urban public utility development budget for the next five years. It can also be completed before 2008, and it has half a cent to do with the Olympic Games.
I don't believe that these public utilities that affect thousands of households will always be stuck.
It's your little Jiujiu who is causing trouble.
You can't include subway construction in the Olympics just because athletes and tourists from various countries participating in the 16-day Olympic Games use subway services. You can't include the construction of urban pipe networks in the Olympics because they drink tap water. You can't include communications in the Olympics because they use mobile phones.
The base station project is included in the construction of the Olympic Games.
This reason is too far-fetched and I cannot accept it.
In this case, how much should we donate? Divided by the huge denominator of 280 billion, no amount of donations will show up."
Vice Mayor Wu Yifan smiled when he heard this and said confidently;
"We have also considered this situation and do not force entrepreneurs to donate free of charge, as long as they can express their feelings.
Before coming, Chairman Liu of the Olympic Organizing Committee expressed his position on behalf of the Yanjing Municipal Government and gave me a briefing, hoping that the companies under the Royal Family Fund could actively participate in urban construction.
For example;
Participating in the construction of the city's Sixth Ring Road or the city's road traffic construction can be appropriately matched with the construction of residential projects such as the Olympic Village. People should not have to pay money and labor without getting anything back, and they can share part of the benefits.
In this way, the pressure on the Yanjing Municipal Government for large-scale construction is greatly reduced, and enterprises can also receive corresponding benefits.
Royal Family Fund owns six powerful real estate companies and has the full support of HSBC. It is very reliable in terms of funding and construction capabilities and can set an example in this regard."
After hearing this explanation, Wang Yaocheng thought about it, nodded, and said formally, "Okay, let them discuss the specific projects themselves, and I won't get involved."
"Then it's settled."
"good."
The two big hands held each other tightly, reaching a tacit understanding with each other.
The real estate companies under the consortium should be more proactive in negotiating separately. After all, they are independent legal entities. They must take into account their own economic interests and bargain with the other party on specific projects, even if the dispute is red-blooded.
Donation is donation, and participation in construction is participation in urban construction. The two cannot be confused.
If a real estate company takes a loan from HSBC to help with urban construction, it will definitely be fine if there is some profit, and it will definitely not want to do something stupid like losing money after spending money on people.
In this way, the interests of both parties can be guaranteed.
The government projects of Yanjing City are being promoted smoothly. The combination of oil and water utility projects and promising real estate development projects is equivalent to a bone and a piece of fat. Its real estate companies can also get benefits from funding construction projects. It is a real win-win.
