Chapter 613 Completion of the Canal Cultural Corridor
“I don’t know exactly how your country negotiated with our company!
So, I can’t come back to your question!” The administrative department staff member answered, secretly saying: “What a beautiful idea!
If you build such an industrial park in your country, you will have to pay death?"
In fact, Yu Qingyang has clearly stated before that a preliminary wood processing plant should be built.
The two people brought it up in the hope of confusing the public. Once the staff said this was the case, they could use it as an excuse to ask Huayu to invest in a home furnishing industrial park in Mozambique.
Even with a discount, it is still much better than the primary processing factory.
After all, the added value brought by the initial processing and finishing processing of raw materials is different, and the export taxes are also different.
Seeing that the administrative department staff were not fooled, Matteo Messner Tinaro could only continue to visit the Home Furnishing Industrial Park with disappointment, envy and jealousy.
Mateo Messner Tinaro can serve as the Commercial Secretary of the Presidential Palace, so he has received higher education.
He could see that most of the wood used in the home furnishing industrial park was wood from Africa.
There are also many red oak and black walnut trees from America.
Think about the rich timber resources in your country, but they can only be exported as the lowest-grade raw materials.
There is a strong unwillingness and resentment in my heart.
All these results are caused by backwardness.
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling and resentful he is, he is just a business secretary and cannot change everything.
For a country that mainly relies on imported food and has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, it is still too early to think about getting rid of the situation of relying on exporting resources in exchange for foreign exchange.
The tour is still going on. The home furnishing industrial park naturally not only produces furniture, but also produces wooden floors, wooden doors, wooden wall tiles, wooden pavilions, wooden handicrafts and many other categories.
The Mozambican representative visited the Home Furnishing Industrial Park very seriously and asked a lot of detailed questions.
Even relatively private questions like where the products are sold were asked.
It can be seen that both of them have their own ideas, that is, even if Hua Yu is unwilling to invest in building a finishing plant, they can still raise funds to build it themselves.
They have plenty of timber, so as long as there is a market, there is no need to worry about making money.
People can make money by transporting it from thousands of miles away, processing it and then selling it to the outside world. They can definitely make money by guarding so many mountains covered with towering trees.
Unfortunately, the answer from the administrative department staff made them despair. These products are not exported at all, and they are too busy with their own internal orders.
A small number of products are sold externally, mostly for display and to build awareness.
All of a sudden, the dark thoughts they had about cutting off their hair were eliminated.
Matteo Messner Tinaro knows that China is currently their main timber export country, and 90% of their timber is exported to China.
There are so many Chinese timber merchants, not to mention finishing plants, and even primary processing plants are very few.
Most of them export logs directly.
With this in mind, Hua Yu became very sincere in his willingness to invest in building a primary processing plant.
Although the added value of primary processing plants is low, it is still higher than directly exporting logs, and it can also create employment.
The thoughts of the two Mozambican representatives unknowingly changed, from envy, jealousy, and hatred to gratitude.
The staff of the Administration Department did not know the changes in the minds of the two Mozambican representatives and continued to take them around.
The home furnishing industrial park is very large, covering an area of 10,000 acres, and many areas are still under construction.
Even so, if you turn it over carefully, you will finish it in one day.
We arranged for the Mozambican representatives to stay at the Holy Land Hotel in the evening, and they will visit the Canal Cultural Corridor tomorrow.
It is also a coincidence that tomorrow will coincide with the completion and handover ceremony of the Canal Cultural Corridor.
The entire canal cultural corridor has been completed, and investment promotion work has already begun.
Tomorrow the city will take the lead in holding a ceremony to mark the completion and handover for use.
It was officially announced that the old canal reconstruction project and the cultural corridor project were completed and put into use.
It is said that senior provincial officials will also come to attend the completion ceremony.
Naturally, Yu Qingyang will also come.
This is Huayu’s first large-scale project exceeding 10 billion.
Peach trees and willow trees are planted on both sides of the canal. The end of March and early April are the seasons when peach blossoms are in full bloom.
In fact, the cultural corridor was completed at the end of last year. The Jeju City Government chose this time period to hold the completion ceremony because it wanted to take advantage of the grand scene of the ten-mile peach blossom.
The peach trees transplanted last year had a high survival rate under the careful care of the gardening company, and pink flowers bloomed one after another this year.
The willow trees mixed in among the peach trees have silky pink and golden wicker branches hanging down, swaying in the wind.
In the past, Yu Qingyang did not allow willow trees to be planted because it was unhealthy and unhygienic when catkins were flying every spring.
However, Jiangnan Garden Design Institute came up with a good solution.
That is, there are male and female willow trees. The female trees have catkins floating on them, while the male trees do not have catkins.
All trees planted along both sides of the river are now male trees.
Early the next morning, at 8:30, Yu Qingyang rushed to the scene.
The site is located at the corner of Canal Road and Taibai Road.
There are pedestrian streets to the south, and street parks and preserved ancient buildings to the west.
The completion ceremony is scheduled to start at 10:18. I don’t know if this is the auspicious time shown by the great god.
While there was still time, Yu Qingyang, accompanied by Li Lin, inspected the pedestrian street that had been built.
The clean and tidy marble floor faces the river on one side, and there are three- and four-story antique buildings on the other side.
In order to bring out the ancient charm as much as possible, these buildings are not consistent, each has its own characteristics but blends together perfectly.
But on this point, the Garden Design Institute and the Ancient Architecture Design Institute have put a lot of thought into it.
There are more than a dozen painted boats parked on the old canal. These boats were specially designed and built based on ancient books.
It is one of the important attractions of the Old Canal Cultural Corridor.
Further away, there is a community under construction.
Those communities are Huayu's main profit points in the old canal reconstruction project.
Those communities are still under intensive construction, and the houses are expected to be handed over by the end of the year at the earliest.
"Welcome Director Yu to come and attend the completion ceremony despite his busy schedule!" Zhang Hua heard that Yu Qingyang was coming and came over to greet him.
"Secretary Zhang is so polite!
No matter how busy you are, you still have to come to this completion ceremony! This is the first big project invested by Huayu!
It also provides a good idea for our future investment in urban construction!
Speaking of which, I should be the one thanking the leaders of Jeju City for their strong support to us!" Yu Qingyang pretended to shake hands with Zhang Hua and said some high-sounding words.
“We, the people of Jeju City, should be the ones thanking Chairman Yu!
It not only shows the cultural features of our Jeju City, but also provides us with a good place for leisure and entertainment!
The Cultural Corridor can be said to be a good project that achieves multiple goals and benefits many parties!" Zhang Hua vigorously touted the impact and benefits of the Cultural Corridor.
The leader of Jeju City who followed from the side secretly complained, "Is it interesting for you two to compliment each other? Who doesn't know about your relationship?"
